PhoneMyPC works for me. I can view live and interact live. Haven't tried anything else. When I remoted in I noticed that the NC keyboard didn't pop up automatically. I use Button Savior to access the PhoneMyPC menu and was able to select the keyboard that way.

Its not that it sucked, I guess... just didn't have the functionality I wanted.

TeamViewer
Just tried the Android app, which youll have to get from the website an sideload, but a quick run though of the app went smooth an seemed just as good as the PC version.

Logmein works well as a remote desktop tool.

I'd recommend TeamViewer b/c with it you can connect to any computer running it. Very helpful for tech support.
Link is here: http://www.teamviewer.com/download/TeamViewer.apk

phonemypc wont work when lappy is connected to projector..
moving on to LogMeIn, and if that fails... Teamviewer.
thanks for the info buds

I use remotedroid on my phone ... have not tried it yet on the nook but that may be an option.

I also use RemoteDroid and it's so much better on the NC rather than my Droid. The larger screen just makes it so much easier to navigate accurately.

Logmein ran slow. So I installed teamviewer and its sweeeet.
May try remotedroid, but tviewr is doing great currently
// from the nook

Open vnc. It works with my evo so i assume it will work with nook.

Another vote for Teamviewer, pretty sweet.

If you have the ability to set up a vnc client on the target PC, I would recommend openvnc, if not than use teamviewer.

alright, so i installed and got the vnc stuff running, but i cant get any remote input working
im using tightvnc and android-vnc-viewer, and the only input it lets me use is trackball, which the nook obviously lacks. the other input options are greyed out so i cant select anything else.

bug with PhoneMyPC
Be careful with PhoneMyPC PC software.
Software: PhoneMyPC PC software 32bit version 2.0.2.2
OS: Window 7 Ult w/ SP1
I was looking for a remote desktop app that can pass through NAT network, when I have no rights to configure port mapping.
Just tried PhoneMyPC and uninstalled the PC software. I found that I cannot connect to L2TP VPN on my desktop anymore! error code 789. After system restore I managed to roll back and able to connect to that L2TP VPN again.
I tried it on two desktops, same problem.
I am going to try TeamViewer or Logmein.

I'll throw out another option - Unified Remote -it works really well...very fast and a lot of pre-configured controls for common applications. I love it.
Make sure you get the latest version RC2 as it's way better than the market one.

Splashtop works good but that's more of a remote option,

I use Unified Remote. It does require you install the software on your pc but it works great. It also has built-in remotes for VLC, Powerpoint and many other programs.

[Q] Is there any way to take screen shots on the Droid 3?

I've yet to find an app that can do it without root.
I tried using ddms.bat from the sdk to get screencaps but it doesn't recognize my phone as a device (I've turned on USB debugging and pc mode). It worked fine with my Droid1 but no luck with the Droid 3.
Any ideas how we can take screenshots?

Also trying to figure this out. There is a no root screenshot it in the market but I have not tried to set it up
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA Premium App

DDMS.bat from the SDK works fine, sounds like you are missing device drivers for the Droid 3.
I use it whenever I want to take a screen shot off my Droid 3.
If I remember correctly I had to download the drivers from Motorola's site

Don't forget the we live with outher ways of taking a screen shot. And that's using a digital camera. Yes it wont look the greatest but it will work.

Thanks. I got it to work after downloading the MotoHelper here:
(forum wouldn't let me post the real link, sorry. Google "Download Motorola 5.2.0 Driver with MotoHelper")​
There doesn't seem to be a way to download and install individual drivers for specific phones so you have to install that program which stays running in the background on your computer all the time.

You can remove apps from start up in all operating systems, type msconfig in the run or search dialog box for windows.
-smc

No root screenshot is the only app I know of that works on my d3. Tested and can verify that it works

Installed cm-7.2.0-encore, some issues

I had nook 1.3 stock then I installed manualnooter-4-5-18, after that installed cm-7.2.0-encore on it. I didn't clear any cash nor formatted any partition. Now it boots up correctly but there are some issues:
1- PC can't read SD and internal storage and shows to empty Removable Drives. So I can't copy new apks into it.
2- Why Camera and Messaging applications are present on my nook which doesn't have does capabilities?
3- The process com.android.settings stop when I click on CyanogenMod settings.
BTW captchas are really hard to read.

When coming from stock to CM7, you really need to do a factory reset (via CWM) either before or after putting CM7 on. There are too many incompatibilites between the two. That is why you are getting the errors.
Camera and messaging apps are sometimes necessary before some apps will install, even if not used.

Don't understand sorry. But I think I did something wrong like asking questions instead of searching or vague questions? I just can't access SD and internal storage of my Nook from PC.
[off the record] I borrowed a SD from my sister and she needs it and she is going to kill me if I don't give it back [/off the record]

Got it working. Just took a while for Google to update. Thanks anyway.

Oh, from the PC. I thought you meant you could not see them on the nook. Probably the reason you cannot see them is you have not turned them on. It is not automatic like stock. After you plug in the USB cable and the removable drives show, pull down the notification area on the nook and select turn on computer access. That will make the removable drives change to show your sdcard and emmc. Or you can use a program from my tips thread called NookColorUMS.

Thank you. notification area was somehow behind status bar (the bar which has the clock on it) so I couldn't see it. This status bar is in front of everything.

The notification area is supposed to be behind the status bar. You need to take your finger and drag from the bottom to get to show. You should see the bar to push then. Then you drag it back down when finished.

Lost all files on /sdcard when transfering files from PC

I just tried to transfer files from my PC (Win7) via USB MTP onto my Nexus7 which seemed to work as usual. When I tried to locate them on the tablet, I noticed that the complete /sdcard folder is still there, but empty. Also the /storage/sdcard0 and /storage/emulated.
This actually happend the second time, but the first time I just had updated to 4.2.1 and I thought I must've missed some instructions about backing up the files first, so I (falsely) assumed it was my error.
The device is the 16gb wifi only version running current android 4.2, it's been rooted after purchase in summer using Nexus Root Toolkit 1.5.3. I just use the usual popular play store apps like nova launcher, total commander, firefox and stuff, nothing special.
I couldn't find anyone on the internet with a similar issue, so I put this here.
//edit1: I have only one user set up: me alias the owner.

Hi have a look at your settings in multi user accounts. It hides them so others can not see them

I fail to see how that should affect why I don't "see" my files anymore. I haven't switched the user, I only have one: the owner. May you please make your point more clear?

You can alter where things are stored. Have you connected back to pc to search tab that way. Check storeage settings did you use ptp or mtp for transfer

I used MTP. The tablet looks empty from "within" via Totalcommander & EStrong Filemanager. Also other apps like music don't see my files. Storage shows suspiciously much free space, I guess it's really gone. From PC it looks the same, completely wiped. It recreated the /sdcard/Android-Folder, and the Apps I've used since recreated their folders... I can't find where you meant I could alter where things are stored. Storage just let's me delete stuff and users just let's me edit the away-message.
Thanks anyway so far.

Hi I use wifi file explorer. Try that to transfer your files and let me know how it goes. Its in the playstore/market

Make nandroid without usb?

Ok... my phone is dead..ish... I dropped water on it... tried to dry it out and now the USB isn't recognized and the backlight on the screen is dead. I can still barely make out the white images on the phone. Here's my question, is there anyway to make a nandroid and get it off the phone (email, ftp, ect..) automatically? I can probably see enough to install an apk... but not set it up. I am connected to my wifi router so I can see the device that way... but that's it.
HELP!

Edit : nvm
Their are ways to make a nandroid back up without turning your phone off then using a file manager to find the file and upload it to Google drive or drop box.. But I don't know how much you are able to do

It's slightly more complicated than that. I can't see the background at all in TWRP because it's dark. I can barely make out the HTC clock on my home screen. I tried to get into ES file manager and turn on ftp but the settings screen is also too dark. Think of seeing your phone in direct sunlight on the lowest brightness. That's what my screen looks like.

What are you trying to save? If you are trying to save like pictures and stuff you might be able to use an app that allows you to adb over WiFi and you can pull stuff that way

Alright... I've got it working.... I was going through the ADB commands and I can't find anyway to list the contents of the sdcard. So say if I only wanted to pick and choose which folder to pull. In command prompt it is usually the "dir" command, is there an adb equivalent?

Note: ls = Ls but small letters ... It should show you the directory
Also I saw some one post that if you did
Adb pull /
That it would pull all contents on your phone
