Is there any VNC applications that you use on the galaxy tab?

Do you guys use any VNC app (or anything similar) that will allow you to connect to your PC remotely from anywhere in the world? (outside your home)
Please provide the link.
Thanks.

RealVNC , LogMeIn, TeamViewer and Phone My PC all work fine for me. RealVNC was 50% off recently and still might be.
TeamViewer is the only free app out of the ones I listed here.

I like Pocketcloud.

Do you think it is better than the apps that was posted by the person above/before ( kable ) you?

I have used Pocket Cloud and it is pretty good. I am about to try Tonido as it seems to offer more flexibility by turning your Desktop into a personal cloud server. This allows you to share files by giving others a simple URL that they can download a file from. You can stream media to your device also.
Both are free and in the market.

Edited to add:
Tonido gives you a list of files on your computer and uses (I think) the built in editor to make changes.
The media is limited to mp3 and photos.
Looks clean and secure, check it out!

I use android-vnc-viewer.works well
I also gave droid vnc server instaled....

I use Teamviewer all the time. Simple and very reliable

RealVNC and TeamViewer, both of them are good!

I use PocketCloud with Remote Desktop enabled on my Windows computer. It works perfectly. I love how PocketCloud has that little cursor to make clicking easier. I also used LogMeIn for a while but you need a yearly subscription and you also need to buy the prohibitively priced LogMeIn Ignition for your phone.

i use Android VNC; so far so good. It works with RealVNC and other vnc server. Not sure about teamviewer; it work well on PC but mine got problem with Android. And I think cannot get Free Teamviewer apps for Android.

Best app for controlling my pc from my phone

so wich is te best remote pc app can you please suggest me on android offcourse

Hi, I will suggest you TeamViewer available on both Windows 7 and Android platform!

Wyse PocketCloud.

Trust me I have tested them all and the very best one is phone my pc...but it is not freeware. It is its money worth though

That's a POS. And Wyse has a free version.

thnx everyone will try your suggestions

I'll definitely throw GRemote into the mix. It's very pretty and works flawlessly as a mouse, keyboard or as a media remote

I also would like to know if there is a VNC type of app that it would let me view and control my PC through my phone without the need to connect to the internet at all???

I use Android VNC with Tight VNC Server running as a windows process on my XP machine. You will, of course, have to port forward your firewall to the VNC server (5800 and 5900 TCP/UDP I think).
Now if only I had a newer TV with higher resolution...
on second thought, I would never leave the couch.

Logmein Ignition is really good, use it for work and its very fast and smooth would highly recommend..!

I second Teamviewer

I second WYSE Pocket Viewer, the free version lets you connect to 1 desktop.. I connect to VNC server .. It has good data compression algo, so even on 2G its usable.. On 3g and WiFi this simply rocks

I would second Teamviewer. It is fantastic and I would use it exclusively except that you can't use TV to do WakeOnLan. If it had that, it would be 100% perfect.

Use TeamViewer, it's fast and it's free.

Splashtop Remote is the newest and fastest remote client. It is fast enough to play movies and games off your PC and on your phone.

I use both TeamViewer and Unified Remote - TV for general purpose control and UR for special applications like VLC and power point presentations. No problems encountered so far.

This did it for me.

I use teamviewer as support for my friends computers.
Splashtop is great in the sense that it forwards the sound from your computer to your phone or tablet, where teamviewer lacks that.

seriously? one thing about wyse and teamviewer is that they show siginificant lag times...gonna try this out! :silly:

+1 Splashtop. Use it on all my phones and tablet for multiple PCs. Works great, very fast and fluid.

Good remote desktop app.

Can anyone recommend a good Windows RDP client for android or one that you use on the odd occasion?If it can do VNC as well I won't complain.

What about teamviewer? Works wonders for me. Use it a lot for my work. Even file transfer works

I used 2X for ages - its free and does Windows RDP. I found changing the mouse mode from simple to advanced (or something like that) made the user experience much better.
More recently I've been using Pocket Cloud Pro. It's pricy but more than worth it and supports RDP with/without NLA and can do VNC as well.
If I helped hit thanks!

try teamviewer it's free for private use and works very well

Help please

I am thinking about getting the raspberry pi and load xbmc onto it. I will probably be buying a WiFi dongle. How do I exactly setup up the WiFi for the pi? Do I need to hook it up to an Ethernet port first or no?

Fortunately it's pretty simple to set up the WiFi on the RPi, all you have to do is plug the WiFi dongle into one of the USB ports and then connect to your wireless router WiFi network through XBMC and you should be good to go. You shouldn't have to hook the RPi up to Ethernet first to get internet setup. My other recommendation would be to check out this guide if you run into problems http://elinux.org/RPi_Peripherals and this list of WiFi dongles that have been tested and verified to work with the RPi.

Hi,
Setting the WIFI dongle up is fairly easy you will need to load XBMX onto your PI and boot this up with the ethernet cable attatched. Go to settings and find the PI's IP address. Write this down.
Plug your WIFI dongle into the PI also.
You will then need to download a program called PUTTY onto your pc or laptop. You should start a SSH session on the IP you have wrote down.
Login in using username:XBMC Password:rasperry
Once you have done this go into settings and find WLAN. Click on this and put the the SSID of your internet service provider and your PASSKEY. then end PUTTY.
Reboot your PI and hey presto your WIFI dongle will be working
If this helps please hit thanks. If you get stuck I have a youtube video with the SSH session on XBIAN (same thing) just PM me
Peace

So it is not required to book the pi up with an Ethernet cable first if I understand you correctly right?

Yes thats correct. Boot the PI up with the ethernet cable plugged in, obtain the IP from the settings in XBMC. Then on a pc or laptop do the putty SSH session using this IP and log in and enable WLAN and input the SSID and Passkey
Hope this helps

Also if I plan to use xbmc do I have to buy any licenses? I am confused about that as well. If so which ones?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

Hiya. I believe if you use raspbmc which is a Linux distro there is no licensing, same with xbmx and xbian. I Do however believe you have to buy mpeg2 licenses.
Hope this helps and best of luck maybe post a pic of your finished pi project for us all to see I'm still tinkering at the moment but I would recommend a powered usb hub it has been my saviour the past few weeks.

Oh and something else that is awesome if you go for a xmbc raspbmc or xbian openelec etc.
Download an app called yatse. (for the record I bought the full version) this allows you to control the pi with your nexus I use it all the time just scan for the pi once your wireless working and do it from your phone haha

What exactly does the mpeg-2 license allow me to do exactly?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

I didn't buy any licence and I have no problems playing anything. It would all depend what format your media is. Most of my stuff is h264 aka mpeg4. I don't think I've even ever seen a file encoded in mpeg2 as it is older and less efficient then current standards

So if I am just streaming stuff off of xbmc plug-ins like 1channel I would not need the licenses?

I doubt it. If you find you do have issues you can always purchase the licence at a later time

If your looking to install Hulu on XBMC I would recommend taking a look at this guide, it involves mainly installing the Bluecop repository. For getting Pandora working I would recommend taking a look at this guide here.

For the Pandora add on, how do I make the necessary edits?

You actually don't have to make the edits you can download the .zip file containing the edits already made for you here. Once you have downloaded the .zip file extract the contents and place them in your addon folder.

Suggestion: go on eBay and search for "ew-7811un". Save yourself a lot of headache and BUY ONE lol. It's an Edimax wifi dongle. It's tiny, and works with Rasperry Pi right outta the box, no setup required. You'll need a wireless mouse just to pick the router and enter your wifi password, etc.
Another suggestion: get a *powered* USB 2.0 hub, and plug it into the Pi. Use only one of the USB ports on the Pi, for the hub, don't use the other one. The Pi is severely underpowered, and the USB hub will solve that for you (if it's a powered hub, of course). Plug the wifi dongle and the wireless mouse into the hub.
Final suggestion: get the OpenELEC distribution of XBMC for Pi. It's AMAZING, especially with the ACE skin (which you can download right from the Pi in the Settings menu after installing - see attached pic). The only downside is that OpenELEC is a locked distribution, meaning you can't add repositories that are not listed as "add-ons" via the gui itself.
What I have is the above, plus a large external hard disk connected to my network via my internet service provider's wireless modem. Basically, it shows up as a network drive on any device connected to my wifi network. It allows me to download (ahem, I mean "purchase") movies, music, videos etc through my laptop, directly onto the network drive, and then instantly play them via the Pi as a SMB share.
Hope this helps.

anything with artheos chip should be fine, there are good drivers for this kind of dongle

You could also while on Ethernet download the Wifi Tool in the Raspberry XBMC repository and then you have a GUI for configuring your WiFi device within the XBMC interface as long as you have a supported adapter.

I appreciate all the responses about the wifi dongle but I have already solved that problem and got my wifi to work.

Macbook Air tab casting issue

Hey guys so I got a chromecast from Google play and I just bought a 13" macbook air(2013). I tried casting a tab but the display I get on the TV is really weird. I've attached a photo to this post showing what I mean. I tried casting a tab from my macbook pro (2012) and a Samsung series 7 chronos too but I don't get any sort of problem with the display from those. Is anyone else experiencing the issue? Is there a fix for this? Any sort of help is appreciated!

The image shows the Netflix website and I know I can use the app itself so let's not hear anything about that lol. I was just using the website as an example.

i have a 2012 air and it works fine for me. It's really choppy if i turn it to the highest setting but looks fine in 720p. I'm not sure if the computer or the router is the reason it's not smoother.

I don't think it can be the router since every other laptop casts tabs just fine. I am guessing it's my macbook air or the chromecast maybe. then again, I don't see the chromecast being the issue since other devices work well with it.

I would try a factory reset for the Chromecast. If that doesn't help maybe swap Chrome versions. Try Chrome beta, works perfect for me.

Updating Chrome to the beta version did the trick. Thanks man
