I am about to order HD7.
One app that I cant live without is remote desktop app. (Real Vnc.)
Is someone using any kind of remote desktop applicatoin on HD7?
Thanks.
Nope, there is a remote pc app but the reviews are awful
I wish they would have just included this on the phone, I mean it is Windows.
I'm surprised they haven't, winmo6.5 had a stock remote desktop client IIRC.
Its a new OS, you're going to have to give the apps time. Its just about to launch in the US so i imagine that should open up a lot of new apps soon.

Hi, i have not found a Remote Desktop client app, and would like to ask if anybody knows anything about that. I come from windows mobile world and this is a very important tool for me to connect to the office.
No remote desktop app?
Ok I have been in the same boat as I had a Uni w/WM6 using logmein for remote desktop. With that being said I have the G1 and could not connect. I found a way! Use Operamini which was just released on the market and you have the option of switching from ActiveX (which the browser doesn't really support to HTML which would be fine. ActiveX option is available but it is slow as HTML..
Good Luck fellow droids

I use Remote Touch and Remote Desktop Mobile, I have used the latter for 6mths over GPRS and am still impressed.
GRemote to control PC Media devices, also has a cool laptop Touchpad style mouse...
Cannot live without My Mobiler to control my Kaiser from my PC
ALL of these work over wireless lan, blutooth and the internet
how well does remote desktop work? Does it allow you to view your PC screen on your phone? Its something iv considered trying but iv never been to sure on what the results would be/whether it would be worth it!

I use RDM+ and it works great.
Are there any apps that I can use as a remote control for Windows 7 media center? Preferably one that shows album art for the currently playing song etc.
I haven't seen any. I would love to be able to control my media center with my phone. A while back I made my own remote for my winmobile phone. It was functional but not very good looking or polished. If I had the time I might attempt to make one for android... but I will probably never have the time, especially if I want it to look good.
GMote works wonders for me.
Not sure if that will work for you, but I can choose to play video on my htpc, or stream the video from my htpc to my phone....requires a daemon to be running on your htpc plus the app.
I really dig it.
Yep, seconded, Gmote is awesome, not only integrated with media centre controls and streaming from the media centre to the phone as well but you can also use the touch screen as a mouse track pad and the g1 keyboard as the pc's keyboard, both absolutely awesome features. The server app running in the windows taksbar takes virtually no cpu or memory, auto starts and is found very quickly by the phone.

I have been trying to run the gmote program with my Windows Media Center (Windows 7) setup for about a week. It seems that the server on the computer crashes fairly regularly. Has anyone else been having this issue? I especially see this if my phone goes to sleep (black screen) and then I wake the phone back up.
I'm using an HTC Hero (CDMA/Sprint).
I would recommend switching to XBMC, I've been helping out testing this app which should be coming to the market soon and it's absolutely amazing works wonders for my xbox running xbmc.

Looks nice for sure. Just wish XBMC had DVR and live tv functionality like Windows Media Center.

Unfortunately, this program requires XBMC. I have my entire system setup to use Windows Media Center.
Windows Media Centre remote
Gmote is crashy and annoys me, i use Windows Media centre remote (on my android). But if the computer is busy, sometimes it reacts slowly. But it does not crash a lot.
As an update: The newest Gmote (2.0) works much better than the previous version I was using; maybe due to Windows 7, maybe due to the updated application. (Probably both). Anyway, it works much more reliably now. Unfortunately, there really isn't access to your playlist
Another option I am using now is MyRemote from the Market. Seems to be fast, stable, and provide more Windows Media Center type button access.

Media Center Control is a good choice. Search it with google or in the Android Market. It's a remote control with many features and works very well.

Has there been any development on this? WMC Windows 7 controls?
Origami Experience and Splashtop work well together
running windows 7
its like having a virtual/fake windows tablet

you can add your own backgrounds too
I know I'm a bit slow sometimes, but what does this have to do with the G-Tablet or Android? (other than the backgrounds?)
Splashtop Remote desktop is for Android
you can fully access and control your PC
origami provides a more usable touch screen friendly Environment
than using the windows native desktop appearance
so it looks more like a tablet desktop on my gtablet
the images above are how it looks on my android gtablet when connected to my windows Pc with splashtop
and i find it easier to use for my windows media library etc than trying to use the native windows desktop
WoW!
Thanks, Bubble2!
This is GREAT! I have been waiting for some time to play a game called Carcassonne on my gTablet. I have a PC version of the game, and now, thanks to your post, I am able to play it using Splashtop.
One question though. I have windows 7, but when I tried to install Origami, it said the install was not successful. So, I am using Splashtop without the benefit of Origami. Any suggestions? I will try to install Origami again.
Thanks for the info.
Nice. I'm using LogMeIn Ignition to access my pc now but I like the looks of this. Thanks for pointing this out.
Okay, so I checked it out. The Origami Experience piece is what you install on your Windows PC to give it a tablet UI interface. The Spashtop is the actual Android remote access app. Combined you get an interesting experience, but it's not mandatory that you use both. You only need the Origami piece on your pc if you want to see a tablet UI after you've remoted into your Windows box.
All in all it's visually interesting and does let me stream media better than LogMeIn Ignition but that's not what I really use remoting for so for me this app is just okay.

I had the same issue, but I was able to install Origami v2.0
I am unable to post URLs, but search for Origami 2.0 download and you should be able to find it on Microsoft's site.
my first install did not work too(just remembered)
Origami did not appear in programs( taught i did something wrong)
so i installed again and then it appeared in programs
not sure why it needed two installs but it worked second time
when "Origami Now" is running in background but your on your normal desktop
i noticed a slide down tab(widget) at the top of desktop that lets you open Origami
so its nice shortcut too

I am new to the world of the transformer so I am looking for a good rdp app. I tried X2 and the microsoft rdp app but they just dont feel right. I think i will next try splashtop. Just wanted to see what you all are using.
try logmein
i use Teamviewer, do i miss something important ? i mean, whats the advantage of things like Splashtop?
x2 is for sure the best for RDP i was amazed how well it works and its free
I prefer JumpDesktop, because it works perfectly for rdp and vnc. if you only need to connect to windows machines you may give the new microsoft rdp client app a shot.
X2 gets my vote, but the new Microsoft rdp client is supposed to be great if your running Windows 8.1

I could be wrong, but I think it is 2X not X2.
It depends on what you are looking to do. I use 2X (RDP) as well as splashtop.
2X just uses RDP (Terminal Services) built into the OS, no 3rd party app running. The downfall of Terminal Services is there is NO video compression. You will need a good 20 Mbps or more to have a smooth experience at full HD resolutions.
Enter apps like Splashtop. Splashtop runs a server app on the computer and when not connected, it is near dormant. But, look at your CPU usage when connected. On a dual core 2.7 GHz AMD processor, you are looking at 60-70% CPU usage for the video compression. The advantage is you only need 3-5 Mbps for smooth full HD resolutions to work. Also, if you pay for the remote connections with Splashtop you do not need to worry about a NAT on your router, or to use a dynamic DNS client to keep your IP updates so you can connect. Splashtop is free for local (on the same network). I got a free upgrade as I had paid for Splashtop on iOS and was grandfathered for life when they switched to their new model.
I know some others like TeamViewer do not have to pay to connect remotely.
If your home router is a VPN server, just connect to your VPN and then it will appear you are on the same local network.
I rarely have to use my tablet to log into windows remote PC, so JumpDesktop costs money while app like 2x does it well and free. I also try to avoid running additional server side applications, just VNC and RDP is great.
I will give a try to the official Microsoft RDP app!

I'm using RDP to share my windows laptop with my wife the official RDP is nice, but can be trouble if you have a non english keyboard (which is already an issue with RDP anyway ).

Can anyone describe how the TF701 dock's physical keys are mapped In LMI, and when you need to use the on-screen keyboards? Specifically, can the PCs Fn keys, cursor keys, and edit keys be accessed from the physical keyboard, or do you need to use the screen to get to those? I currently do not have the keyboard dock, and am debating if it would help with the LMI app, or if I should get a Windows ultrabook instead.
