Android Remote app? - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I neeed an Android remote app to help my 75 y/o mother with her phone.
Her phone is not Rooted. I need to be able to connect over the Internet for configuration, repairing, and teaching purposes.
It needs to be bang easy to install on here side. NO VNC server for instance. Just getting a program installed will be hard enough! She's 700 miles away.
Do you guys have any suggestions?
I'm looking at Airdroid presently. But was wondering if this was the best thing out there.

I need a full desktop experience like VNC. Teamviewer is doing it. Very slow though. But it's free!

Ah, it is no root. You're right, then. If you don't root, it's probably very useful as I haven't seen another one that works without root. Or does PDANet? Either way, PDA is hella expensive, and I just use the windows installer to install my ADB drivers for me.
This is the only one I've heard of that can connect game systems. That might make it worth the price...

Is it actually fast enough to be useful for say... Xbox Live? It seems like 3g would be laggy as hell!
Well it's better then expected. Don't play FPS games though, the latency is big, but racegames and RTS and so on work perfect.
Has anyone successfully used EasyTether to tether their Xbox? I've tried all day with no success.
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
you have to tether to a computer/laptop via usb, then connect the xbox to the computer via ethernet and enable internet connection settings in the network adapter properties.
nothing special, you can do it with any tethering application.
Easytether
I have been using Easytether for a while now. I have followed all the directions for connecting my xbox to the internet via easytether. It proceeds to work connecting to the network and internet when i test the connection but right when its testing the xbox live connection it says it failed because my MTU setting it to low. It says i need a MTU setting of atleast 1364. I have looked up many ways of trying to fix this using Easytether and none have worked. I have tried to use the DRTCP software and that neglected to work for me neither. Im wondering if anyone can please help me out with this connection error. It would be greatly appreciated.

Nexus One or Desktop?

I might get pwned and such for asking this question,
but should I ask for a Nexus One or a new desktop for my graduation gift? It's a tough decision for me
nexus one buddy.
that's a tough one, and depends on what you want to do.
nexus is a great phone, and i love mine, but it isn't a computer. i built my computer, and i wouldn't trade it for my phone, that's for sure

The fact that you are putting the Nexus in the same category as a desktop should give you the answer....the Nexus of course!
Yep, really depends on what you want to do.
But, I find myself using the awesome Nexus One more then my desktop everyday!
I haven't used my computer in 6 months. I do all web, email on my phone. My phone has become more important to me than a computer.
However I do still have computer access at work.
Once the flash 10 update comes to the nexus, It REALLY can be a complete substitute for a computer.

Complete substitute?? Can you write a 25 page research paper on the nexus one?? Can you run netbeans?? Common a phone will never replace a desktop they both have different purposes... just my 2c

I agree, it simply cannot be done. The Nexus is definitely a nice device, but it cannot and never will be a complete substitute for my laptop.

We can't help you.
YOU need to decide, what's important.
Portability?
Are you a school student?
Do you have easy access to a computer when needed? At a friends, the GFs house, at work, etc.
Would this be your first kick-ass phone?
If not, what kind of phone do you have now? How do you like it? What do you use it for?
Are you a heavy texter? Gamer?
You like being able to read your RSS feeds everywhere?
You like being able to access the web from anywhere? Are you looking forward to FLASH on a mobile device?
Are you a techy geeky MoFo?
If you are, then you'll probably want to root your Nexus One and play with a few ROMs (Cyanogen, Enomther, Desire, etc.)
I see you ARE A techy geeky MoFo (you've rooted your Dream ).
THERE'S YOUR ANSWER!!!!
if your a pc gamer like me...then go with the pc, if its awesome and powerful!
Depends on your usage, as someone else said I built my own computer. But I use it for uni/work (game developer) and could simply not live without it. I could however live without the phone. (well, it'd be damn hard!)

Of course, but I already graduated so I no longer have the need for doing that kind of work on a computer. I was just giving my example for certain usage that the nexus functions like that for me.
I think you already made up your mind before you even posted your question. I think the real question is how soon til you get your new N1 in your hands and rooted.

Don't get the LogMeIn app...yet

Since this is one of the ones demoed and it's listed as a featured tablet app under the productivity section in the Market, I figured it was fine for honeycomb. Nope. Tried it and got my refund within the 15 min mark. Then sent an email to Logmein customer support.
Here's what they said:
"We are currently working diligently to make LogMeIn Ignition compatible with the most recent version of Android OS (Honeycomb). Please continue to check the Android Marketplace for application updates as the next update will provide full support for it."
Have you tried wyse pocketcloud?
probably it will be available in few days.
Not sure if logmein updated app or OTA update fixed.. But Logmein android app is working on Xoom now

TeamViewer
honestly, team viewer is a much better app. i used logmein for about 18 months, including both ipod touch and android versions as well.
i made the full switch to team viewer a few months ago. hard to describe why its better, it just is. I have had the same feedback from 2 die hard logmein friends as well. teamviewer is better, and the mobile app kills ignition. On top of that, they dont charge you for personal accounts, only commercial accounts do. apk is free as well.
now for the xoom, the only drawback (if you want to call it that) is that the log in makes you go portrait, but after that it almost feels like it was made for a tablet. an update would be nice, but not necessary in the slightest to get it working flawlessly.
I would be lost without a rdp client. i use it for both work and home. i use it more than i bet, most people on xda and more than anyone i know.
how could you go wrong? give it a whirl and you will not be sorry.

Looks like you can sideload it directly from the website:
http://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/mobile.aspx
Definitely interested in giving this a try. Was not happy with the $5 Splashtop Remote, and was considering dropping the $30 for LogMeIn.
Perhaps the OP should update the title of the thread to indicate that the app is worth trying now?

Pocketcloud worked well for me and it was free. Although, I decided to pay the $14.99 in order to access more than one computer. But it is free to access one ... as long as you can put up with the small ad, which was no big deal to me.

What can I use my Raspberry Pi for?

Hello,
I got a Raspberry Pi Rev. B and a Nexus 7.
Today I got the idea to build something like a server for the Nexus 7. For example for Miracast Server or whatever. I don't know how to call it, sry. So please give me some Ideas what I can do.
Thanks

Raspberry Pi's are great! Think of it as a Linux box / VPS if you are famliar with them. The first project I did was make a webcam server and host that on the Raspberry Pi's server and view it anywhere in the world! I used old hardware to do this - follow some tutorials.
You can also do other things like:
Host a Minecraft Server
Programme applications using Python
Set the Raspberry Pi up as a remote desktop / GUI
Security System
XBMC Media Center - AMAZING
The list goes on....
Good luck with your adventure.
I tried minecraft but thats too laggy :/
BTW: RPi is amazing!

I agree with running OpenELEC on it. I absolutely LOVE it, I'm using it basically as an Apple TV that's both iPhone, Android, Windows and Mac compatible. if you have any questions about how to set that up feel free to ask.

Interesting, I've been using Openelec from the NOOBs installer from raspberrypi.org and I have been wondering how I would be able to control my pi without network connection and using xbmc from my android phone.. I'm gonna have to check out this cec..
I use mine as an OpenVPN proxy with Squid/Dante installed. Very convenient.

On my television(an LG), it's called simplink and all I do is press the simplink button, select the pi, which the TV calls an "HDD recorder", it connects and I can then control the basic functions using the remotes directional buttons and the play/pause/stop buttons. It's no good for more advanced functions, like the context menu, but I either use a usb mouse/keyboard for that, or my android device. If you have a network connection on your pi I highly recommend the app "yatse" for a remote. Super functional. Syncs library entries so you can browse on your phone/tablet and play direct, or stream to aforementioned devices(donate only) and about a million other cool features, nearly all of which are available on the free version.

RaspPrint
You can also use your Pi as a Airprint Server for iOS-Devices. This could be done with Debain for the Pi and CUPS.
I bought one with the intent of running something resembling xbmc on it. Unfortunately I ran short of time due to recently becoming a dad, and it just sat there doing nothing gathering dust in its perspex case. I ended up selling it to my boss as he is a mad scale railway fanatic and was considering doing something like this (alternate pages 1 2 3) and frankly I couldn't see myself finding the time to do it anywhere in the near future.
Has anybody used it as smb server on ntfs drivers to tell us it's speeds?
maybe also media server?
Couldn't think of anywhere else to post this, however just couldn't not share this article Developer Hacks His Microwave Into The Microwave Of The Future

Good if you want a two device project, or a Wii U like system on the cheap. Although BBQ Screen hopefully can get a client on the Pi going.

Remote Desktop & Remote Android - Anroid

Hi all,
I have a weird requirement.
I have a Nexus 6.
1. I installed gotomypc app and gotomypc software on my work laptop and my Nexus 6 and I can browse my laptop when I'm outside.
Similarly, is there any app, which I can install on my Nexus 6 and remote control my another Verizon Galaxy S5 Phone in my home?
I want to just do everything, like I do when I connect via gotomypc software to my laptop from my Phone or Work Laptop.
I don't mind paying monthly fee for this app, if there is a subscription fees. Just like for gotomypc, I pay $9.95/ Month.
Thank You for Your suggestions.

I just now downloaded, Logmein, Team Viewer, Splashtop.
All are controlling Your PC from Your Android.
I already have a Gotomypc Subsription and I pay $10 every month for that.
But how can I connect my ANDROID, from my Nexus6.
Thats my requirement.
You need to install a VNC server for Android on the device you want to control. Then you should be able to use any VNC client to access it.
