Mm, no it would not, it's no different than developers who release SD and HD apps as 'one' instead of separate apps with separate prices. Splashtop is simply doing Microsoft, releasing many versions of the very similar software for a full price.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DeKubus:
Well not really. If the compression for the THD version is more efficient (read: less computing intensive) than the regular compression and / or the THD version decodes it faster on the tablet then working with some desktop applications is indeed faster.

On the desktop side, the Streamer could for example detect the client which just connected is the THD version, so it uses the 'cheaper' algorithm_thd instead of the more expensive algorithm_hd to compress the source material.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] OstiasMoscas:
Just bought it off the market.

I was really looking forward to it, but that was before reading through this thread and seeing the mixed results :p

I knew it had to be a bit too good to be true, but decided to give it a chance non the less.

My Internet speeds also made me abit apprehensive (25 Mb/s up and 4.5 Mb/s down) about spending money on it. I'm a bit worried about how good streaming will fare, especially when it comes to HD movies and games like Skyrim. I have a relatively powerfull PC with a GTX 580, but as far as I've understood the upload speed is the most important piece of the puzzle.

On the off chance this actually works though, it'll be the best 6 bucks I've ever spent on an app.

Hopefully I can actually contribute some with a report later today :)

By the way, it seems that they've changed the market description a bit.

It now clearly states that you'll have to have an Nvidia GPU to use full screen:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DarkShadowSwE:
well i feel ripped off, ****ty mouse support and no fullscreen for ATI.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MirQoo:
it doesnt matter what is your down and up speed, only thing that matters is your router speed capabilities on your wireless lan. Ofc its a different story when youre trying to connect from outside of your router :)

(btw mine down and up is 4/2mbit)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] monkey10120:
it is nothing like HD and SD. That is a resolution and gfx difference. compression is a very complicated algorithm which requires a fast processor to decode it at a required speed. Thats why it only works on the Tegra 3. And when you see if released for Tegra 2 i bet you it will not be as fast. Just because it doesn't work for you don't say its scam
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] arrrgh:
I'll consider getting it when they start supporting desktop resolutions like the HD version does. I have a ton of windows open on desktop and resizing & rearranging them all after remote session gets old really quickly.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] OstiasMoscas:
Well so far Ive had some mixed results with Splashtop THD.

It works ok on my weak laptop with an ATI 5650, but when I connect it to my somewhat powerfull desktop with an Core i5 and a GTX 580 it works for a short while (around a minute or so) before it disconnects saying it was "unable to connect".

So far I've only tried installing and reinstalling Splashtop on both the Prime and the desktop. Maybe I'll have to open up some ports, although I gave Splashtop access to everything it requested..

Also, while using Splashtop to access my laptop, theres a pop-up saying that "Windows has noticed that the computer is runnings slow". The pop-up is in Norwegian, so I'm not sure what the English equivalent of that message is. I'm guessing it has something to do with the weak hardware of the PC, and that it's not so much Splashtop's faultt.

EDIT

Hmm I think maybe the anti-virus on my desktop that may be the problem. On my laptop I'm using AVG, and on my desktop I'm using Norton. Both PCs are on the same network, so I'm not sure what else it might be. It would be strange if it was Norman though, as all relevent programs and ports are given permanent access to the computer and let through the firewall.

Wish the Spalshtop HD --INSIDE-- of the Asu MyCloud app was THD - or could be updated via Market... Same goes for the other GameStop pre-installed aps.

Either way, until they fix the disconnection with both, I won't be buying the THD.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wifesabitch:
Using HD inside MyCloud I would disconnect all the time. Not once have I disconnected with THD after three days.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] David522d:
Def a speed increase but needs more support for game input and also i thought we were able to stream in HD qauilty. That i dont see/have. Also pinch to zoom was so handy ..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] OstiasMoscas:
Finally got it working! Disabling the firewall did the trick.

Got to play some Skyrim and BF3. Both were kinda sluggish, but Skyrim wasn't that bad, hard to give an FPS estimate though. Hopefully things will run better after an update or two.

Streaming 1080p movies worked just fine, a few hickups here and there, but overall it wasn't that bad. The quality was good, but not sure if it was HD.

What are your experiences so far, and are there ways to reduce lag?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
(copied my post here because this seems to be the active thread ;) )

Does anyone here know what version we actually have preinstalled on the prime?

In the app settings it says Splashtop Remote (there's an HD in the icon picture) and its version 1.1.0.6. Nothing similar in the app store and it cant be updated through the app store.

Is it just a very old Splashtop HD version? Or a custom thing for the prime? I really like the THD version which i bought, but its not that great for office/browser use because of missing features like scolling and zooming. The problem with the preinstalled version: It disconnects all the time (something they fixed in newer versions according to the market Changelog "Fixed continuously disconnect issue on Ice Cream Sandwich issue").

But i'm really not prepared to pay twice for the HD version just to get the extra zooming features. And its not only that, i dont want to have 5 versions of an app installed just to get all features.

Do you know if there are plans to add the features to the THD version as well? And/Or will the preinstalled version get updated with future firmware releases for the prime?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DrDawg:
Not dissing Splashtop, but after reading through this thread I'm surprised to see no discussion re: security. If you use Splashtop over the web (as opposed to just over your own home wireless) you should be aware of Splashtop's security model: basically, it has none.

Splashtop's claim to fame is its low latency. In part, it achieves that by NOT using any encryption between your tab and your desktop. Among other things, this means that any password (or other info) you enter on your tab is transmitted over the web to your desktop in what amounts to plaintext (in the sense that it's world-readable). Also, there's no sophisticated authentication scheme between your tab and your desktop; anyone on the planet who can guess your Splashtop password (or find it via a dictionary attack) can get complete control over your web-connected desktop running Splashtop.

I confirmed this with a Splashtop customer service rep a few months ago, who told me they were "working on better security" but couldn't say when we could expect to see it. So I uninstalled it. For some folks, this lack of security won't be a problem, but for me it was huge.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
clouds5 I have read every post in this thread so far and I'm sure I came across several with THD saying it has everything HD (MyCloud) already has.

I'm on the fence still because I'm still looking for more definitive feedback from others who used MyCloud and have bought THD and give us a real good break down review comparison.

well isn't this a reason why people encrypt their wireless network connections so they won't have to worry about their data being compromised when sending files to and from on the network.

It would be foolish to connect to your wireless device on a public unencrypted network to use Splashtop to begin with.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DrDawg:
True enough. But my point was that any Splashtop communication that goes over the internet is unencrypted (whether your wireless connection is encrypted or not). And that your desktop, if it is connected to the internet and is running Splashtop, is wide open to a dictionary attack. Splashtop is reasonably secure only if your desktop is not connected to the internet and your tablet communicates with your desktop without ever going over the internet. I don't want to argue the point; I mention it only because people who use the app should understand the security implications. Splashtop's web site is pretty silent regarding security (which is what led me to start asking questions).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DeKubus:
You would have to bypass the router and the firewall of the victim to even be able to try a dictionary attack on his rig. Even if Splashtop keeps a port open you would have to scan an entire internet network range to find vulnerable systems, and then you still would need to map the entire local network behind the router.

...ofc if your machine is connected directly to the net this would be an entirely different story, but if that's your setup you can't be to concerned about security anyway :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] David522d:
Anyone try this connected to LAN? and how is it?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] costcutter:
Yeah in a way it is pretty insecure, similar to using VNC over the internet, with VNC only the password is encrypted after that it's all insecure. That's why most people will use VNC alongside SSH tunneling which I guess could be used with splashtop.

At the moment if I'm away from home and need to use my desktop I use a VPN to connect to my LAN at home.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shimajodai:
How speed in minimum for use this ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Botloos:
Would be great, but for some reason my prime aint compatible...

Will try splashtop thd, great for watching movies aswel!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
I'm one of those that bought the THD version ;) its quite different imho. On the MyCloud version there are alot of handy features that make input simpler, like pinch to zoom, scrolling with 2 fingers etcetc. On the THD version there is only a small wheel for scrolling on the side and no way to zoom. All you can do is switch to gamepad overlay.

The mycloud version is much more comfortable for office/browser use, and i really hope that they include those features in the THD version with an update. Because the connection is totally stable with it and its very fast and responsive, mycloud version disconnects very often and is sometimes laggy for me.

Thats why i was asking about the normal HD version. Was wondering if its any better than the mycloud version. Which is pretty much unusable for me.

old driver worked for 560 ti

FYI, I was unable to get Splashtop Streamer to say "Optimized for Geforce" on my 560 ti with the latest drivers, 295.73. However, when I downloaded and reinstalled the old driver (295.51) it worked just fine. Games now working in fullscreen.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jynlude:
unsure if this is the right thread to post this question to, but does anyone use the new splashtop thd app for viewing videos? i tested it out with streaming espn3.com video last night as well as playing a few 720p files on vlc media player i have on my computer with little success.

the video was too choppy and unwatchable and i still haven't been been able to stream and sound for anything.

in the end, i got a refund but would still like to know if it's just something that has to do with my settings that is causing this quality issue?

my desktop has the geforce 8800gt video card and my network is sufficient.

any help/insight would be greatly appreciated

No luck with fullscreen Skyrim

Setup:

ASUS M2N-SLI-Delux MoBo (Nvidia 570 chipset)

Quad Phenom X4 CPU

4GB RAM

2 x Nvidia GTS 450 GPU currently no SLI plugged into 42" plasma

Running latest drives and Splashtop streamer

32GB ASUS Transformer Prime with Splash THD obviously.

Try to run Skyrim and get the error that can only be done in window mode???

Please help :-(

cornerstone rom and splashtop thd

cornerstone rom and splashtop thd remoting into my home pc by doing this i can run windows 7 and 8 also ubuntu through vmware but my problem occurred aft installing the cornerstone rom it no longer recognize my device as the prime
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Col.Kernel:
Go to the Splashtop forums. They'll tell you how to set it. There's a full screen windowed mode, IIRC. I don't have Skyrim, sorry I couldn't help more.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cappurnikus:
Jynlude, I unfortunately can't help but I wanted to chime in to say I'm currently able to stream video via Splashtop THD with no problems via the web or WMP.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jyan_osu:
Does your mobo have an HDMI built into it? If so plug it into another monitor or tv the first time.. then run splashtop. That was my problem (from Splashtop devs) after I did that once , I unplugged the HDMI cable and it worked as full screen ever since.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Lol, so if you don't have one you have to go buy a physical cord to use a software feature? Crazy.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jyan_osu:
yeah it was a crazy solution. This is straight from the ticket I sent to Splashtop

The settings for dual-display-chip case is a little complicated, we also experienced this on ASUS motherboard, not sure same as yours, please take as a reference.

1.check your motherboard, it should have a HDMI interface, attach another monitor with HDMI cable. This is the most important step to be able to utilize nvidia display. (in our case, nvidia display is not default used display)

2.exit Splashtop streamer from system tray

3.find Splashtop streamer program icon(not shortcut) from Windows Start menu, then right click on it

4.you can see a context menu pop-up, and a menu item/sub-menu like "execute by GPU processor.../..nvidia..."

5.by this way, you can see Optimize for Geforce enabled.

Please have a try.

Hi guys could someone recommend me a good graphics card that will run games like darksiders, COD, crysis, without lag on my tfp in the $200 range. I have been eyeing the 560 ti.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xTRICKYxx:
6950 is a solid card last-gen card. It can run any game on Max settings at 1080P. A good equivalent card is the GTX 570.

Get a card with 2GB+ of GDDR5 RAM (NOT DDR3!) and anything from NVIDIA's GTX (4-6)60-(4-6)90 range and AMD's (6-7)50 to (6-7)90 Range.

The GTX 480 is a really good price and can run any modern game at 1080P but will severely struggle later on because of its limited 1.5GB of GDDR5.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jellydroid13:
I decided to go with this one:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004K1EUWO/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00

just because of my budget right now, and i found out i need a new PSU which took a toll on my budget. Also I might be getting a new laptop in the $2000 range end of this year anyway so i'm hesitant to put too much money into it. Thanks for the replies though and on a side note how much lag will my transformer suffer from with this card?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jcoleridge:
i have a hp m9040 with intel core 2quad 2.4 GHz, ram 4 GB and nvidia geforce 8500 gt. when i try to play civilization 5 on my tfp i'm not able to do this if i play the game with direct x11 (black screen, only audio), but everything is okay in direct x9 if i don't choose full screen mode: if so, after entering the game the pop up of splashtop comes out and says me that it doesn't support full screen mode. however i'm able to enter again the game from the application bar and full screen mode works, but it is really laggy. i'm satisfied with my direct x9 windowed mode (that is practically full screen, but not so flawless), but the only way to get it to run in full screen mode is changing my gpu? and the same can be said if i want to increase the quality in windowed mode? i'm quite a noob in these things..

[Eee Pad Transformer General] anarox:
Booooooooooooooo that sucks. Maybe we can use an another app
[Eee Pad Transformer General] josteink:
That's fantastic. A remote desktop client requiring 5 cores.

Here I thought my 1-core 1GB "AD-based VPN+remote desktop client" VMware image was earthshatteringly inefficient, but I guess someone was able to one-up me on that.

I remember back in the days when we used to create thin clients out of obsolete 386 and 486's by making them boot linux and run rdesktop on boot. You could do that with 16MB of ram and a 16Mhz CPU.

Are Splashtop telling us that 2x1GHz CPU and 1GB of RAM is not enough to run remote desktop? Seriously?

This is hilarious. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] horndroid:
You can still use the regular version of Splashtop for remote desktop.

It's just that THD is designed to be able to do things that require higher processing power.

I am actually happy to see this because it means I will have better experience when/if I get a tegra 3 tablet.

However, I am still skeptical of the praticality of it because it will require even greater Internet bandwidth and stability on the receiving device for more advanced content streaming. Starbucks wifi won't be adequate, no way. You will need at least 3G quality connection.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] anarox:
im perfectly fine with them making a higher end version of Splashtop, but is our version made for tegra 2? I ran it and it was not a good experience for me

[Eee Pad Transformer General] anarox:
u should try to delete all data in the app from settings, then uninstall, reboot and reinstall, hopefully that will solve the problem
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Spidey01:
More likely it use native components that they've hacked together and don't want to back port to Tegra 2, or maybe nVidia only gave way for Tegra 3. I'm not sure what tools they have for developers.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] anarox:
.... I hope really Nvidia diden't do that, some games are already tegra3 exclusive. With gamelofts tf101 freeze out (nobody knows why) its like we have a foreveralone unit among other android units (which already have less apps then ios)

sorry for my *****ing, but asus needs to put some demands on developers
[Eee Pad Transformer General] horndroid:
What's bad about some games being tegra 3 exclusive? Technology moves on, man. Also, companies want to make money.

It's just like how older CPUs and GPUs can't handle some of the new computer games.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ssciberras:
Beg to disagree... Tegra 2 is less than a year old, and should not be considered as antiquated. i use linux at home, with an aasus eeepc 701G, the netbook that started it all, and can continue using the latest linux versions. And with the tf101, i am stuck to what asus wants, and cannot use linux.

I bought the tf101 in september, but it already feels old... Why?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] munsterrr:
Our 701s(use mine as freenas) arent expected to hang with the atom processor that soon followed in newer netbooks can do either. Nothing out of the ordinary. It feels old because we have to constantly hear about the latest and greatest gadgets and toys all the damn time now lol. Apparently their marketing strategy is working on us. I just fire up shadowgun to remind myself that this old girl ain't so bad
[Eee Pad Transformer General] horndroid:
Developers are free to do what they want. If they want to make a program that requires stronger processing unit than tegra 2, so be it. You are in no position to complain. No one is forcing you to use their program.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Vidfreek:
No you are correct on that, but that isnt the point, with PCs a good one built for gaming can last up to 4 years playing stuff really well (maybe longer now that most PC games are ported from consoles), Tegra 2 tablets havent even been out a year really and now they are on Tegra 3 trying to essentially skip over Tegra 2 devices, if a game can be designed for Tegra 3 it should be available in a Tegra 2 version with some dumbed down graphics, I dont see how this would be so hard, plus the number of people actually using Tegra 3 tablets is pretty small as Asus is really the only one that has one out there with the Prime.

Why would these developers limit their potential user/buyer base so much? I hate to say it (and I love my android phone and tablet) but Google and the Android market are so fragmented its crazy, no wonder top apps come out on IOS first and quite a lot stay exclusive, one OS to worry about and the same specs across the millions of users that own one, the Ipad has pretty much become the console of the tablet world and Android Tablets are the PCs

As far as Splashtop goes, I paid for the Splashtop HD version because it was so much nicer than the regular version, it works fantastic with my Transformer, so I'm not sure why anyone is upset that there is a version that takes advantage of what the Tegra 3 can do, there is already a great HD version for Tegra 2 out there, which is what I was talking about at the top of my post :)
