Hey guys,

So I got tired of muddling through the Splashtop THD threads and figured I could make a new one specific to what I'm wondering without hijacking someone else's thread.

I want/need to remote login to my computer regularly when I'm outside of the house. The bundled Splashtop app doesn't seem to work and just shows a black screen that doesn't ever update when I login or type or anything. It just stays black and the screen refresh rate is essentially 0, regardless of my remote connection. (My home connection is 20 down, 5 up).

Even on PocketCloud, I get a similar thing where it doesn't really log in to the computer and kinda freezes on the screen that presents before it shows the desktop. I've used logmein via the browser when I absolutely needed something done remotely and it's a big pain in the butt.

Here's my question: for TRUE remote login (outside of the house), what solutions do you guys use? I've heard the Splashtop HD app is actually quite good (and better than the bundled one). I've also read that it is more targeted for desktop use than the THD version, which is supposed to be for gaming. Lastly, how do these two compare to logmein? In my experience, Logmein has always been reliable via a browser on a computer, but I haven't ever tried their android app for iOS or android.

Thanks in advance!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] alanhzl:
bundled one i believe is HD, i have splashtop standard as well. The bundled one works flawlessly for me. i have used a few other remote login apps before. so far splashtop is the only one that would allow me to stream videos from my pc, and watch it on my prime.

I'm thinking about getting the THD version as well, if it's optimized for tegra 4 and has even better multimedia streaming performance.

also did you install splashtop streamer on your pc? as it's required in order for splash top to access your desktop. if remote within your network locally still doesn't pick up then, try to sync using your gmail.

anyways good luck.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bdneuman:
I've not used logmein, but I have used both the bundled Splashtop and HD. From home, where I have similar connection speeds as you, Splashtop HD works great but does have some random disconnect issues.

My problem with Splashtop is when i try to use it over 3G or slower wifi connection - it becomes completely useless. It will connect but responsiveness is nil.

That's when i switch over to Teamviewer. Teamviewer works GREAT over even slower 3G speeds. The only thing I don't like about Teamviewer is the way you move the pointer - kindof a virtual mouse type thing that takes some getting used to. I prefer the touch-to-click method of Splashtop but, again, it just does not stand up to Teamviewer as far as connection and performance goes.

Incidentally, teamviewer can connect pc-to-pc as well so I have all of my family's (and extended family's) computer's linked to my account so when the wife is having issues at home, I can simply remote in from the office or wherever and fix her up. It's a great program and it's FREE for personal use.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
yeah, i forgot to include this. i tried teamviewer too a couple months ago, but I didn't like the UI. Seemed like it was a pain to move around and stuff.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BSMan1011:
I also use Teamviewer, it is especially good for phone becuase of the mouse movement control but I wish they had a tablet optimized version. The PC to PC is great with teamviewer I actually gave my mom a usb with a portable teamviewer program so I can provide tech support on the go to any computer with internet. But as far as the THD vs HD(Bundle) go I would like to have more feedback but I read somewhere that the main improvement is the controller acceptance and full screen support....if you plan on gaming through remote connection at all then go THD no doubt but other than that I am not sure...streaming video probably would benefit from it but I am not sure. And as far as LogMeIn goes, any $30app better be perfect as far as I am concerned( I am not sure of the actual app much beyond price though, it might be great) and the $7 THD would probably be just as good...and the free HD is great already so just sleep on it and chooce one...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lil-devil:
depending on what you need to do with your computer outside your house,

i think your best bet is to set your computer up with VNC that way it goes from your tablet to your computer instead of through some other company's server and such

personally i think thats more secure
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wokka00:
LogMeIn can WOL. If Splashtop could do that, I'd give it the win for sure.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] neonjcv:
2X Client

I tried Splashtop (Bundled) but it didn't allowed me to copy something from my TF clipboard (Text not files) to the computer, so I've been using "2X Client", which uses the Windows Native RDP protocol. Is not great for multimedia, but it doesn't require any additional software to be installed on your target PC and let me copy text from my ICS browser for example to FireFox in the computer.

If I need to connect to a different computer at my house, I just remotely log into my router and change the port forward to a different computer.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hitekdroid:
I like to use phonemypc since i paid $10 for it a couple years back. that said the bundled splashtop is a tad bit faster but disconnects for a second every few minutes. i still havent found one that streams video well even at home. i've yet to try the splashtop thd, though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
is this one free?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] neonjcv:
Yeap, 2X Client is free, you can find it on the Play Store here. But remember, I don't think it will work very well for Multimedia or Gaming
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
So just as an update to this thread, I downloaded and installed 2x and am still trying to figure out how to configure it for use outside of my wifi network. Pointers would be appreciated!

As for Splashtop THD, I bought it an hour ago, but I returned it because I still have the same issue. When I try to login, I get an unresponsive black screen with 3 scattered "login" boxes at times, but just now I tried again and just got a black screen!

I'm starting to think it may be a connection issue, but I have a 20d/5u connection at home with a strong wifi connection (802.11n, great throughput)

Has anyone seen this issue before with splashtop?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] crystalstylez:
Make sure all the correct port ranges are forwarded. Won't work correctly if not.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
it does connect to the computer...its just completely unusable!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] justPorter:
you have to be logged into your machine when splashtop connects. if your pc turns off display, sleeps, logs off, or is configured for multi-user it will not work. The streamer app should prevent the pc from sleeping. what operating system are you using on your desktop? you can test splashtop with the built-in version of mynet.

as for 2x remote for it to work outside your wifi you need to port forward tcp 3389 to your desktop ip address in your internet router. then you would configure 2x remote to connect to your internet ip.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] AdyCarter:
Is the bundled one called something different. Im not seen it on mine.

Edit. See itnow
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lostsorrow:
RealVNC has been flawless for me. Works real smooth on the prime. I use it a lot at work to bounce back and forth between my desktop and tablet when in meetings and such. You get mouse capability as well.

However a lot of people have been using Wyse pocket cloud pro with great sucess as well when outside the office. They could only get the paid version to work though.

Both are available on the "Google Play" market.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
Any tips on how to set it up? I have my computer behind two routers so I need to do some weird forwarding I imagine...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] corybrubaker:
I use Splashtop THD on my TFP and i love it i also use the HD version on phone and tablet from time to time as there are some things i like the HD version for as it offers a few mouse pointer eases and i don't always wanna use my finger as the mouse and prefer a more precise mouse pointer. as far as connection i haven't had any issues while connected to my wireless network. the 3g connection however is greatly dependent on the speed of said network so sometimes its awesome if i have 1m speed+ and little unresponsive or disconnects with lower speeds. the functionality however is just wonderful and meets all my needs eventually i will get the dock so that i can start gaming on it as its very difficult without. i also have streamed some of my 1080p movies i have on my computer and the fps is great sometimes there is a slight stutter but nothing that makes it a bad watch
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ickk:
have you attempted to set this connection up through a vpn?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mardiie:
That's not true.

I use splash top THD. Works great over wifi. I haven't tried it over 3g yet since I hardly use that on my prime!

Your PC can be a sleep, outside ur user account and it still works. What you do is Wake on LAN (which is in the splashtop app at the arrow next to your PC name) , then connect with splash top and make sure it starts on PC startup. Then the service is available from the login screen. You log in and voila!

I'm loving it. Windows usage is awesome,but as said no copy from android. But I dont do that anyway. For music and media its also awesome and games work OK.

However it sucks that you can't create custom control schemes in splash top itself so atm the creators have to add game profiles which makes sky rim joke to play with touch, but impossible with prime keyboard/mouse since it flips out sensitivities of the mouse without asking.

Nor does it play games in full screen atm.

For the rest its just great!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] halloumi3:
It does play games in fullscreen as long as you have an Nvidia gpu setup that doesn't use SLI or optimus.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mardiie:
no it doesn't

The streamers tells its unsupported for now.

I'm running a geforce gtx 560
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] halloumi3:
I'm telling you as someone who has done it. As a matter of fact I had Skyrim streaming fullscreen while my Prime was connected by HDMI to my TV just about 5 hours ago. Others have done it as well and reported so on the other Splashtop threads.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] artemjevas:
The best RDP app for me is iTap mobile, because right mouse button works :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] urboy4mbx:
useful information here...this helped me decide which app to purchase for remote desktop solutions.

by the way guys...SPLASHTOP THD is on sale for $4.99 for a few days only. I think some of us should give it a try.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] AMoosa:
MS Remote Desktop using 2x Client works perfectly for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MirQoo:
been using splashtop THD for a quite while, and i am totally satisfied. New control options are amazing! I am able to play WoW without any issue on prime :) there is no lag at all for me
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] epicfailure53:
How is it over 3G?

I'd like to access my movie collection (mostly 1080p) using only 3G speeds. I've tried it using the built in app through mycloud and it works well while on my home network but lags really bad on 3G. Does THD take care of this issue or is it strictly cell carrier related?

Full HD and 3G won't work ever...

In addition to Splashtop and logmein, you may even consider using a R-HUB remote support server.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dhollis72:
Just a curious question for developers. If the Optimus 2X gets ICS and the G2X does not can you still use the 2X drivers for the G2X to get hardware acceleration working? Thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] theking_13:
Yes, they are basically the same phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
Or the o2x from what I've read it is blobs full HWA would make things a lot smoother and ALOT quicker, I notice lag all over the place scrolling isn't smooth, and rotating the phone takes a while too. If we had full HWA this thing would fly!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] theking_13:
Very true. Since Nvidia wont release the drivers, we have to wait till an official ICS ROM to get it working smoothly. Then it can be ported and bloatware removed and optimized for us.

Ah, I miss my Vibrant and how great its ICS must taste.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] I.R.Chevy:
Yeah I agree after playing with an old Captivate with ics and hw acceleration working I can defiantly say we don't have full functioning hw acceleration yet can't wait tho!

Pin it to Win it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kwes1020:
Hwacceleration is only half ass working through work around patches. Thus the Hal issues with video decoding and many ics apps like browser for instance. If o2x gets it I'm sure we can get it fully working.

Do any G2X ICS ROMs support hardware acceleration at this time?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] noahk423:
Well, technically they all do. But really the hardware acceleration is just a hack.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EEngineer:
Then why am I being told on another thread that G2X ICS doesn't support video recording?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Chinese281:
There arent any ICS roms for the G2x/LG 2x that support HWA. Until LG releases there version of ICS we will not have video recording
[T-Mobile LG G2x] noahk423:
The video recording doesn't work because the G2x doesn't have official/correct drivers for ICS, therefore things like video recording and actual hardware acceleration don't work. What we have is a work around that is almost as good as the actual hardware acceleration, but its not the real thing.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
That would be cool if they ported to our phone to get some ICS.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thor6577:
Probably won't because LG wants us to buy a newer phone :/

Are LG or Nvidia the bad guys ?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] LecterMe:
But which company makes the drivers ?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SpaceRanger69:
nVidia provides the source to LG, which in turn is responsible for pushing out ICS for the G2X. BOTH CAMPS are slacking in their responsibilities, thus why both get bashed to h-e-double-hockey-sticks and back!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] daxecutioner24:
They lose, I won't be buying any lg products at this point..I'm sure a lot of us won't be buying their smartphones in the future.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LecterMe:
Thank you.

So nVidia decides if we get access to the source right?

What about sources from other companies like qualcomm? Are they public?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EEngineer:
LG

nVidia provides the Tegra 2 dual-core processor.

LG puts the Tegra 2 in their hardware design and provides the source code and writes the kernel. The responsibility for the drivers is up to LG.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Lajnuss:
can someone try to port the hw drivers from this rom? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1860749 or are someone on it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SpaceRanger69:
The SU660 is only a piece to the puzzle. It has the blobs in it for HW accel., but the kernel for the SU660 is totally unusable. We need for there to be a released kernel from LG for ICS for either the o2x or the G2X. We're more than likely gonna see the o2x get it first, so we wait more. Slowly but surely we are making our way to a fully stable ICS build.

I am running 1080 max and 300 something min. next one up from 198 that i was useing but figured that was to low.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Mitallust:
Some people have reported problems with 198. The highest we can currently OC is 1.836, but keep in mind that uses a lot of power, and heats up the phone really quickly. It also doesn't seem to benchmark as well as 1 or 2 levels lower. Generally, using Fauxclock with 1.512 Max on demand works perfectly for me. It also turns off a core to save even more power.
