[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] dirrtyswan:
no remorse

I had the s2 for about 7 months, did a lot of toying and tinkering with it. I believe I had the perfect set up (for me) and I absolutely loved it. I found the perfect ROM / kernal combination that gave me optimal performance / battery life combination.

Initially, I had buyer's remorse, because my s2 was just as 'smooth' as my s3. Honestly the only thing that I considered an upgrade was the resolution jump...and the battery life! The screen really does look a lot more vibrant. However what I realized was that this phone is still young, and as devs catch on, its going to get a lot better. Just like the s2 did. I remember when the s2 initially came out there were a LOT of issues with it (modem loss of signal issues was the worst).

Soon enough we'll have a wide variety of ROMS and kernels for this phone as well that will make the performance and battery life even better, that's what's keeping me from having remorse at this :).

... well that and the fact that my s2 was on SPRINT, which had god awful internet speeds. The LTE upgrade alone is enough to make me forget about the s2 now that I think about it.

hello i have omega v15 on my phone but would like to get the official update from samsung kies but it wont connect. how can i get this to work do i need to change to a different os and is it even possible? thanks for your help
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajayshah95:
You cannot get the Kies update due to having an unofficial kernel.

What you need to do is hold down:

Vol down + Home + Power

This will allow you to enter 'Download Mode', where you can flash an official Samsung rom using Odin.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frosty68:
My children (twin boys) have phones (samsung i5500) and I'd like to be able to remove access to the settings option, mainly to prevent them messing around with passwords which they often forget. Tried searching google etc, but not seeing a solution (or anyone else asking)

Any idea how to do this? Both phones currently stock.

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SifJar:
You could try one of these:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5kb21vYmlsZS5hcHBsb2NrIl0.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sp.protector.free&feature=search_result

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thinkyeah.smartlockfree&feature=search_result

Although note that Android is fairly "open" and there are probably ways around these. (I haven't tried any of them personally, nor have I tried to get around them. If your sons learn how to root the phones, they could probably easily remove any protection app you install. It may even be possible to just kill them from a task manager - you may want to block access to the Play Store also so that you must approve any apps they want to install)

EDIT: Just tried the first, seems to do the job well. I'd advise enabling the lock on "Settings" in the General tab and everything other than "incoming calls" on the Advanced tab. Haven't found anyway to get round it, so it seems to do the job.

EDIT: Having left it on my phone for a sort time, I noticed an increased battery drain (even just in half an hour). Not sure if others will be the same, or if this app always behaves like this, but if you notice battery draining quicker after installing one of these apps, you may want to try a different one.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frosty68:
Thanks, I've just found the same direction, it hadn't occurred to me earlier that settings was an app.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jayboom05:
If you hit disable on settings app how do enable it back?

For anyone else that's a Splashtop fan (Like Me!).

Splashtop RDP HD and THD are not currently compatible with the Nexus 7. I've contacted their support email and received the following:

Hopefully this means we'll have RDP HD soon, but we may still be left looking for a solution for THD.

Mods, I figured this went here since it was discussing a particular App. If not, please feel free to move it appropriately.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Pawnty:
I've bought RDP, RDP HD and Gamepad THD so I'm all set :) hopefully that 2.0 update comes soon though.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] c0m47053:
It may be possible to use the build.prop mods to alter the density to 160, and get the device reporting itself as xlarge.

Perhaps someone with an actual device could test this?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] RMXO:
I got Splashtop THD to login to my PC running ST2 other day but that's as far as I got. I'll try again later in the day & report back.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] tikiral:
I was able to get RDP HD installed and connect to a box running 2.0 but all I got was a black screen. I watched myself controlling it (mouse, etc) but no visual on the n7.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] RMXO:
Yeap, I got the same result.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] jdavet:
That's weird. Both RDP and RDP HD installed and run well on my N7... I bought both versions on the Amazon App Store however. The only reason why I stuck with the RDP version is that the HD version is locked in landscape orientation.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] tikiral:
What's your DPI @ when running the HD version and what version is the streamer you're connecting to?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Nospin:
Why can't Splashtop make their HD version part of the original app? Ugh, things like that just annoy me.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] dellenrules:
I had this issue on my xoom with this app before.

Went to splashtop's site and found a fix.

It had me change something in my registry on my PC. I don't remember what that was though, but I never had that problem again.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] iwantanandroid:
Anyone got this working on the N7 if so can you post a video to show if it lags and what not.

Also does this require your pc or laptop to be on at all times?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] iixiom:
In an effort to avoid you getting flamed or me sounding mean:

You're remote connecting to a windows computer.

If the computer is not on, what do you think? lol
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Kitten Mittens:
Obviously if the computer is off, but what if the computer is in sleep mode, can you wake it from sleep remotely?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] clockworkchase:
How does this compare to something like Teamviewer?

It is also free which is a perk.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] tikiral:
Did get Splashtop HD working. It makes me feel like THD might work as well, but I don't have that app yet.

Was getting the blank screen issue, but after uninstalling and reinstalling and reconfirming the settings on my 2.0 pcs, I'm now getting video at both 160 and 213 dpi

Should also mention that I'm using the computer's native display.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] iwantanandroid:
THIS
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Lttlwing16:
can you make a video?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Saintfyre:
The option is there and I've tried on my Windows 7 Desktop, I've put it to sleep and the Splashtop App shows it as unavailable, but under multiple options there's a Wake Up option. But it's never worked for me.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Pawnty:
I believe that it should be possible to turn on your computer from sleep if your computer has a wired connection. Not a snowballs chance in hell it would work over wifi though. I think you would be looking for the 'Wake on LAN' option, though be aware that if you protect your PC with a password your computer will turn on but you won't be able to enter the password remotely, you'd have to go to the PC itself to do so.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] tikiral:
Of what? It working? No special settings other than setting the remote desktop's Splashtop 1 connectivity options.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Lttlwing16:
Something like the video in the play store...movie streams, music, pics, etc...if not, no big deal..
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Thebeast715:
I really want this to work on my N7. This was the most useful app I had on my iPad.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] LogicL77:
I have been using teamviewer while Slashtop gets a version out for N7. Works just fine, no issues, basically the same thing. Setup of the teamviewer client on the PC is needed, just like slashtop, but it is very easy.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] masterofmayhem:
The splashtop whiteboard app worked fine for me today. There was a little lag in the beginning, but it still worked
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] johnchad14:
Any response from splashtop as to which version we should use for this? I want to go ahead and buy appropriate one while they're on sale, and regular splashtop does not feel like the appropriate one heh...I assume they will add support for HD or THD soon.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Lttlwing16:
In the play store it only shows the standard version as available for the nexus7 . However I would like to know too so that I can go ahead and make the purchase before the price goes up. They seem to be advertising in the hd version that version 2 will be a free upgrade. I wonder if this is aimed at the nexus 7 users.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] tsupersonic:
Splashtop Remote Desktop works fine on the N7. I'm using v 1.6.6.2 r24816
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] brianbrain:
Splashtop 2.0 will be a free upgrade, but Splashtop 1.0 works perfectly fine on my N7
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] nxt:
So since SplashTop HD is going to support 7" in version 2, this is the version we should buy right?

Since the HD version is supposedly better than the non HD version (even when it's at version 2?)

I'd like to buy it now during the sale (so upgrade to 2 is free), cuz I'm sure when 2 comes out, it will be full price.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] jonny6056:
First thing I did was search for splash top HD when I powered my nexus 7. Only the regular splash top was available. So I rooted my device installed ROM tool kit and set my DPI settings to 160. Rebooted device, cleared cache on the play store and searched splash top again. First one that popped up was splash top HD. I can confirm its working flawlessly. :D
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] nxt:
Does it work without changing the DPI? I have a Transformer so I can buy it there, install it and extract the apk and install it on my N7.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] jonny6056:
Hm. I should of tried to side load it before I changed the DPI settings. I should of thought of that before hand. Anyways, If you can hold off until tomorrow I can change my DPI settings back to stock and see if the HD version still works now that I have it installed and report back.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] movieaddict:
im dying to know if it worked, because im holding off on buying hd for this reason....
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] CharlesW123:
Just got an app update on Splashtop HD on the N7 and it now works great (no black screen), I've not touched DPI, etc. am rooted but fully stock.

Update is to v1.9.9.7 :)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] kisrita:
What's the difference between Splashtop and Splaptop Hd? I have been using (and liking) the regular Splashtop on my 10" tablet. Do we really benefit from the Hd version on a 7" tablet? It installed fine on the Nexus, but Splashtop will probably be one of the few apps I will reserve for the 10". I have the regular Splashtop Amazon gave away way back when as a daily freebie. I don't really want to pay again for the same thing, unless there is a significant benefit.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] dipole:
I hope they update THD today, I'll be all over that. Wish I could buy it on Google Play right now before the price goes back up but I have incompatible devices :(
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] jonny6056:
When you search play store for splash top do both HD and the regular version one come up for you?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] movieaddict:
Yes both versions come up for me I'm about to buy it as they updated it this morning to 1997 in the update they added 7 inch compatibility
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] jonny6056:
That's awesome. Splash top is one of the apps used on a daily for me

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] movieaddict:
The new splash top hd update works great on our nexus 7, so buy it now before they raise the price again
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] keezy88:
I just looked on the play store like I have for the past few days that I've had my tablet, and today SplashTop THD is showing up as compatible for my N7! BTW, I have rooted and changed to tablet UI with DPI of 160. I just bought it but I'm at work and haven't tried it out yet. Perfect timing though as the last Guild Wars 2 beta is opening up today, going to try it out with it! Wish me luck!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] dipole:
It's still showing as incompatible for me, what country are in?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] mastarifla:
1.9.9.7 (the hd version) has been updated to work with the nexus 7, I got a response from them which flat out told me to get the hd version over the tegra, mainly because of the support the hd version gets with updates
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] jonny6056:
Have you cleared the cache under settings programs play store in order to register your new DPI settings and have play store recognize it as a tablet ?

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] keezy88:
I hadn't cleared my cache at all, don't know how actually :)

I've been doing some work trying to get everything to work right and haven't been able to. I get my n7 to connect to my comp, but it doesn't show my desktop screen, I'm only able to touch the screen to move my mouse.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] SithDagger:
that's because its not working right, I hope splashtop makes thd compatible with the nexus , it would be cool to play skyrim on my tablet.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] CrittendenWildcat:
Someone earlier asked if there was a significant benefit to upgrading to Splashtop HD from the standard Splashtop app. I've found that I can use the Splashtop app to watch television around the house on my Nexus 7 when connected to my server PC. You can tell it's around 10-15 FPS, but otherwise it looks pretty good--surprisingly sharp. Will certainly do until HDHomerun gets an app out there for us Android users. So, anyone care to comment? Would I experience any improvement in quality or FPS by upgrading to Splashtop HD?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Lttlwing16:
downloaded splashtop hd this evening for the first time. After using it for about an hour I can say I'm very impressed. Set up was easy and seamless. The stream from the pc is fluid and the built in controls for controlling the pc work well. I found streaming spotify to be a great bonus I hadn't thought about and browsing the web on chrome was especially nice. I tried streaming some movies, but found plex to do a better job. I must mention I am also uploading 7000 songs to google music currently, so my internet is somewhat bogged down . Will try after the upload is complete an update this post.

Edit: after upload..video is still sub par to PLEX. My network, however, may be considered "sub par" by some. 10down and 1up.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] frenetic:
Yep HD works now. That was quick. Hoping to see THD very soon
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] yjbeach:
You have both the HD and the THD app?

I have researched HD vs THD. THD is only $1.00 more, it seems like the only difference (based on google searches) is that THD adds the feature for better resolution for gaming. While you could save $1.00 if you get the HD version if you want to use it for normal desktop usage.

What would you suggest I get for the Nexus 7?

Currently, use iCloud remote desktop app and it's a little slow and sound from movies is not available. (it's free so what do you expect)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] maurimauri29:
Hi all,

at the moment I am using Pocket Cloud as Remote Desktop app and it seems OK enough to me. Can anyone explain what are the main differences between PocketCloud and Splashtop? Is Splashtop better for multimedia content and games or is it better overall and, if so, how? How does Splashtop perform from a device connected to the internet with 3G? Can I lock the remote desktop while working on it with Splashtop? Just trying to decide if I should invest some of my credit in this app.

Cheers

:)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] movieaddict:
Splashtop hd is awesome! It's worth it
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Kitten Mittens:
So after having my DPI changed to the tablet UI (160) for a few days now, I went back to see if I could download Splashtop now, and they both showed up and no incompatibility messages. I saw both Splashtop HD and Splashtop THD, so I used some of my $25 credit on the Splashtop THD app, and I'm getting the black screen like others have reported, how do I fix this?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] youareme7:
Does anyone know for sure if Splashtop HD will be updated to 2.0? Will we get the connect anywhere pack included? I really would prefer not to pay a yearly fee to access outside the local network
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Kitten Mittens:
So I asked them if they have plans to support the Nexus 7 in Splashtop THD and they said, "It is currently being evaluated. We will keep our users posted so stay tuned!"

Anyone know how long the sale will last? I opted for a refund on the THD app since you only get a 15 minute window (which is ridiculous by the way), thinking that I would go ahead and get the regular HD app since it already supports the Nexus 7, but now I'm thinking I might just buy the THD app again, and wait for it to get updated. I would rather have the higher framerates that the THD app supports than the range of resolutions of the HD app.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] b0n3:
I have used PocketCloud for a couple of years now and love it. For a free app it serves its purpose.

I'd also like to hear from someone who's compared both.

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] fonseca898:
Pocketcloud is excellent and does not require an app to be installed on the remote system if you only require RDP/VNC. It has the absolute best pointer/mouse of any RD app.

Splashtop does not support either RDP or VNC, and is proprietary. If you primarily want to stream media and access your home PC, Splashtop is the one to get.

I just purchased Splashtop HD for the Nexus 7, although I already own the standard Splashtop, and I don't see the point of two separate apps at all. But whatever. I did not consider THD since it was last updated in April.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] maurimauri29:
I hadn't realised that there would be a fee to connect from outside my home network. I suppose I'll stick with Pocket Cloud for the time being. Thanks for the info!! :good:

From SPLASHTOP

"Two options for subscription are available: "1 month $0.99" and "1 year $9.99" ($U.S. Dollars). Click the one you prefer, and input your Apple account password if the App Store verification box pops up."
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Lttlwing16:
Connected to my home PC yesterday from work, and I haven't seen anything prompting me to subscribe from the android app...is that just an iOS thing?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] mastarifla:
That is just for "new" splashtop 2 users, the people who have already owned splashtop before that point automatically get grandfathered into the free service, meaning they get the "access anywhere" pack free, I'm sure android users will get the same deal.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] scrizz:
If they are going to charge for WAN access, I will be removing this app from my devices.

I use logmein, teamviewer, splashtop, and VNC with neorouter or VPN. lol
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] bwassef:
Yup, I can confirm that 7"tablets are now supported on splashtop HD, and still on sale (see screenshot). And yes it does appear in the play store, no root, fully stock. It works great too
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] jwlou:
Awesome. I just downloaded it from the the play store since it was still on sale. Hadn't planned on purchasing it but I am glad I did. My google play money has officially taken a hit. Worked great for me but I also hope they get the THD version updated because that sounds pretty awesome.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] lunarken:
ya i just bought this as well last night
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] SunSDK:
I just recently got splashtop and was wondering if they support Bluetooth keyboards and mouse
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] bwassef:
Well, if the keyboard and mouse work on your tablet, they should also work when you're using splashtop, as it is just an app on the tablet. I don't have a keyboard and mouse I can try, but if you try it, let us know how it works
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] SunSDK:
as soon as my OTG cable comes I'll post how it is with mouse n keyboard
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] jwlou:
According to the video on the play store the guy that does the demo was playing BRAID with a keyboard. He said both keyboard and mouse would work fine. I'm hoping to test this soon but still waiting on my logitech bluetooth keyboard.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Kitten Mittens:
I have tested the Splashtop HD app with my wireless USB mouse and keyboard plugged into the USB OTG adapter into the USB port on the Nexus 7 and it works just as you'd expect.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Vash63:
No fullscreen games and 30FPS limit are turning me away from this. It wouldn't be so bad if the THD version didn't have those features... but I kinda want to wait to see if it gets updated. Pretty stupid they can't just merge them and have the exclusive features activate automatically... having separate versions for Tegra is annoying.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] lin013190:
Will this work with my macbook pro? 2008
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] keezy88:
Hey guys, forgot to post this when I got a reply back on the 24th. I had rooted and changed the dpi of my N7 down to 160 to get tablet ui. from there the play store told me thd was compatible and I bought it (from work). Got home that day and tried it, but with a black screen on my tablet. The mouse and sound functions worked just fine however. I sent a support ticket in just to get some info and this is what they got back to me with:

Thanks to be Splashtop user.

We don't have Nexus 7 for testing yet. We will try it once we got the machine. Sorry for this.

I will keep the ticket open and update once got progress.

Regards,

Splashtop Support Team

I'll let you know when I get more information from them.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Avuja:
I had this problem too,

You can fix it by setting the DPI to 174 (probably others too)

Splashtop HD works perfectly on mine with that setting. (CM10 base - currently Euroskank)

So far I haven't done much with it other than streaming some HD MKVs,

When I get a controller I plan on trying to play TERA Online with it.

Also I'm trying to set up Depicus Wake On LAN Free to work over 4G to wake up my PC and then internet discovery in Splashtop to remote in.

Still playing around with that but about to try a new ROM first
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] frenetic:
Oops sorry. This is not the right application, we are having issues with GAMEPAD THD not Splashtop HD. Splashtop HD works.

There's too much confusion about these apps.

Splashtop is confirmed working

Splashtop HD is confirmed working

Splashtop GamePad THD does not work. Users who get it installed only see a black screen, they can control their mouse and hear audio but can't see video.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] productofusa:
I did have to enable "wol" in lan adapter properties, but i'm able to start my win 7 box and log in as well through Splashtop HD. Not sure why its not working for you.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Lttlwing16:
This app (HD not THD) worked great at first, but has gotten so un-reliable I had to ask for a refund. Remote log in from a non "local network" is very flaky.. Anyone else experiencing the same?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] productofusa:
I haven't quite figured this part out yet, I forwarded ports 6783/84/85 on my router but no joy. Whats it take to get in from the outside?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] frenetic:
Not having any problems here. Almost always using it non-local. I do have to press home and then bring the app up from the recent menu after I log in, though, because the screen appears black until I do that... it's weird and a mild annoyance but doesn't affect performance at all!

Great app, wish I had THD working
