Clearly my brain was not working last night. I misread what you were asking for. PhoneMyPC is nice but requires a client install.

If your goal is end client support and you do not want to require them to install an application you might consider UltraVNC single click for the client ( http://www.uvnc.com/addons/singleclick.html )+ a VNC viewer on android. While it will not perform as well as PhoneMyPC it has the benefit of being a zero foot print solution and works well in situations where the client may not want/be able to install applications on their system. I keep a build on my website and if a situation pops up that requires me to access the end user's machine have them download and run it.

Your request for WOL is a bit confusing though, which implies you are not going for end user support. What are you looking for:

- a solution to connect to your personal machine running in the same subnet as your phone

- a solution to connect to your personal machine from wherever you may be at

- a solution to connect to remote end users machines with a pre-installed application

- a solution to connect to remote end users machines without a pre-installed application

- something else.

WOL can be triggered remotely (with preparation) but regardless requires the machine to be set up properly and that you know the MAC address in advance, not likely in a remote end user scenario.

Does anyone know where can I get the PhoneMyPC installation file for the phone? I couldn't find any download link on their site.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] JanetPanic:
On the market. search for "phonemypc". It is a commercial app (9.99 USD) so that is pretty much your only way to get it.

Trust me on this one, go with Remote Desktop Client from xtralogic.. I've been using it for nearly a year.. its the best RDP you will find, no client install needed.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SoftwareForMe.com:
PhoneMyPC is the BEST!

Wait... we're biased ;-)

I suspect the user base here is savvy enough to know much of this, but a few details for anybody who's interested.

PhoneMyPC uses a technology similar to VNC, but it's custom and generally performs better. It is a bandwidth-limited approach to remoting, and we chose this because (a) we wanted something that made no compromises on visual quality (no missing desktop wallpapers, no changed settings, no missing themes), and we see the trend in available bandwidth going steadily up for the forseeable future. This makes PhoneMyPC a good option for remote video, for example, because it is optimized for pictoral data rather than vector data.

RDP, on the other hand, is optimized for vector data, so typically consumed less bandwidth than PhoneMyPC, but much more CPU resources. It also has the advantage that it is built in to all Professional and Server Windows versions.

The biggest difference between the two however is how they handle the network. With RDP you must know and configure your IP, and you must update it when it changes (or use a DynDNS type solution). You must also know how to configure your router and other security mechanisms for port forwarding.

PhoneMyPC just works, because it uses our servers as a connection point between your phone and PC(s). You don't need to know your IP, or worry if it changes, becuase the PC will actually tell the phone what it's IP is every time you connect. You can use port forwarding to get a better, direct connection, but it is not required for the software to work.

Finally, RDP is a long-lasting, well established (and more or less un-changing) technology; that is an advantage from some perspectives. But if you compare what users are saying PhoneMyPC is at least as good, and it's new, still growing, always getting better, and we're not even close to done yet. That too is an advantage from some perspectives. :-)

I've bought all of them, and I could never get Phone My PC to connect. RDC by xtralogic, Remote VNC Pro Android VNC work great (used with TightVNC).

EDIT: Any suggestions Softwareforme? Also constant f/c's when connected via wifi on N1.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] shiroimin:
Now, I am new to HTC and custom ROMs. My friend helped me with flashing the ROM, but no matter what ROM we put on it, one same problem would come up with all of them. When I slide it open or press the power button to wake it up, the screen will remain blank (black), but the keyboard lights up. THe sliding sound will not happen. We have tried 2 different 6.1 WM and 3 different 6.5 WM. From Lite to regular ROMs, but no matter what, we would get the same thing with all of them. There is no determined situation when it would happen, it just does it when it wants to...

Anyone else have this problem and/or know the solution?

Thank you in advance.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mr. Clown:
Try to use a good combination of hardspl and radio. If you have flashed cooked rom, chefs always recommend which ones work better with their roms. Also, search in the rom's thread to see if these roms have a fix for the sleep of death.

Does anyone have a YouTube link or willing to put up a video showing how the apply their protective skin? (BSE, Bodyguardz, etc.)

Much appreciated!
[Nexus One Accessories] Makaijin:
I think zagg invisibleshield's website has videos on installation. The install procedure is the same for all skins that require a "wet" application.

http://www.zagg.com/support/installvideo.php?intcmp=bottomnav

As for the liquid solution, it's just water mixed with plain soap or mild baby shampoo. Most people use Johnson's baby Shampoo, although personally I use a bar of "Simple" branded "Pure Soap". If you're using liquid based soap, i'd say 1 drop to about a pint of water. If using a soap bar, just run the water over the bar and catch the water with a bowl or something.
[Nexus One Accessories] DiGWeeD2:
fairy works? I don't have other soap at home now and want install the BSE on my Nexus, should buy other soap better? Can use window cleaner liquid? Thanks!
[Nexus One Accessories] Wysie:
From personal experience, use light soap (like Simple, Johnson and Johnson, Cetaphil, QV). Don't use your window cleaning thing! It might have other unwanted chemicals. I may be wrong tho, but a drop of QV to a cup of water worked perfect for me :).
[Nexus One Accessories] Makaijin:
Whatever you do DON'T use window cleaner fluid. The majority of window cleaners don't contain soap at all, but contains a weak solvent based solution designed to evorate faster than water without leaving any residue. This stuff is perfect on glass but it can harm stuff like plastics and some metals, which is why most have warning labels saying not to use it on such surfaces.

The whole point of the soap is so it adds a bit of lubrication for easier application of the skin. If you really are that desperate plain water works, just that you won't be able to slide the skin around as easily to make installation easier.

Actually I've never heard of QV here in the UK so I can't comment on that. Basically anything soap based that is mild with the least additives (ie mosturisers) are good so they don't leave a residue behind when it dries up a few days later.
[Nexus One Accessories] DiGWeeD2:
thanks for all answers!! I will try with J&J that can buy it in spain

Dear almighty XDA members,

I had my Nexus One on the third day after it was released. It had the touchscreen problem (sometimes it was not accurate at all. when you touched "q", it gave you a "z" =.=;; ). and now I have sent it back for a refund. However, I REALLY,REALLY love this phone. Esp when I see that the Desire rom is coming to N1, and the Flash as well.

Therefore, I am thinking of ordering a new one. Before I hit the button, for those who have got their new nexus one recently, can you tell me if the touchscreen is behaving well of those from the NEW batch? Is it true that the new batch doesn't have this issue now?

I really want your advice. Thanks in advance. ;)
[Nexus One General] ralexand:
I had the same problem the first few days that I had my phone. it took me over a few days to realize that the calibration problem you speak of was because the fat of my palm was (barely) touching the screen at some edge of the screen. I think its. because the phone is so thin.

My solution was to order a $10 soft-rubber case for the phone and 99% of the problem has gone away.

Give it another try, in my opinion...but careful, Google won't be too inclined to honor a second return.
[Nexus One General] w00yee:
@ralexand thanks for the rubber trick :D

If I finally hit the button, the first thing i will do is to give it rubber care :D
[Nexus One General] OrganizedFellow:
As my Father once said, "yeah, ya better put a rubber on... " ;)
[Nexus One General] Ooglez:
Yeah, I was playing a bejeweled knockoff today (forget the name,) but I would constantly wonder why the damn thing wouldn't register my taps, and then the search box came up. Fatty mc fat hands here was holding it wrong :-/. As long as you're aware that the soft buttons are a bit higher than they should be and you watch your palm, you'll be ok.

[HD2 General] Zhuk86:
Hi Guys,

For some reason PortSIP just stopped working on my phone for no reason, I can register my number and everything and checked that my number still works with my pc softphone but for the life of me it wont dial out no matter what I do.

Any tips or has anyone else had this prob?
[HD2 General] harddisk_wp:
Hey,

anyone has an idea how to improve the GPS accuracy? It jitters all the time which of course sucks when you're trying to navigate through a stupid circle, want to catch the exit and bam, the HD2 thinks I exited the wrong way only to be corrected 5secs later -.-

Not to mention the 20m DOP even with 8 or 9 sats in view, even with fresh QuickGPS data. Really poor, I miss my Mio A702 and its SirfSTAR 3 chip.

[G1 Android Development] chrisjc:
Hey guys!

Just been racking my brains for ways to try and speed up my poor little G1, as its quite a sloth these days :( In my quest for more memory, I have tried using swap on my SD card, and despite having a Sandisk Ultra, it does (overall!) seem to make my phone much slower, I also tried compcache (still slow) and compcache with backing swap (slow again). It does have some benefits I have noticed, but overall not, so I turned it all off.

I was thinking about the different partitions in the phone, and I'm assuming that the /data partition is probably faster than an SD card, I could be wrong. So I was thinking, why not put a swap file on the much lesser used (got apps2sd) /data partition in the hope that it wont be as painfully slow and supply some better swap? I used DroidSwap to set the location of the test 16MB file on the data partition, told it to go ahead. It created it, did a mkswap on it, then for whatever reason couldn't swapon on it. I then tried a mkswap on the file manually in terminal, worked fine, then swapon, get an 'invalid argument' error. Tried to google it, and I didn't really find anything of use. I'm running the one just before the latest Cynanogenmod. Can anyone give me some insight, or tell me if I'm just on a wild goose chase and wasting my time?

Thanks in advance!

Chris
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
I think it will be something to do with the filesystem

I may be wrong, but I think yaffs are 'fractured' and therefore no good for what you want

In anycase it probably isn't a good idea to hammer out with swap you only get so many read writes , and it is much easier to replace an sdcard.

there is an app called auto memory on the market, you may be able to get some use out of that.

when it comes to swap there is always some debate about what's best

some, none, lots, etc

personally I'm in the “lots as soon as possible“ camp

I would rather have real memory available to my current app than having some app I'm not using hog it. having a lil bit of lag while pages load back from swap is better than waiting for a killed app to reload, which is what happens when you have no swap and lots of apps

but at the end of the day no one is wrong, all options have pros and cons.

all very much depends on your usage.

Hey guys and gals, Im looking for a remote assistance software, but not VNC and something thats free!

any suggestions? Thanks :-)
[Android Apps and Games] martincm:
It's not for free, but it's not that expensive (and the client is free) and works very well PhonemyPC (find it in the market), works on Windows only though. I had set it up in like 5 mins, works with multitouch zoom, trackball support etc...
[Android Apps and Games] vimka:
AndroidVNC and RemoteVNC. Both free, both on the market. They work well with the TightVNC server I have running on my desktop at home. I have both installed, because it's slightly easier to do certain things with one or the other.
[Android Apps and Games] CommanderThor:
Well i do remote assistance with Teamviewer. And in case of doign it from mobile phone i use Remote Desktop to connect to my server and from there teamviewer:) Just tried it today, with only having Droid for 3 days are already see it was the right decision, for things like that, RDP clients for windows mobile suck.
[Android Apps and Games] Idioten:
How do you use Teamviewer with android phones?

How do you use Teamviewer with android phones?
[Android Apps and Games] DC84:
What CommanderThor did was he would remote in with his Andriod via Remote Desktop then thru that he would run Teamviewer. So essentially running a remote desktop thru another remote desktop. I'v been looking for a Teamview app for andriod as well
[Android Apps and Games] jamespaulritter:
Is Remote Desktop a program that allows me to access my home PC via my phone? I would like to control my home PC while I am out of town to launch the home browser and email myself files.

I use to use LogMeIn for this when I had Windows Mobile

To get you guys even more excited, Compared browser speed and I just saw my nexus one owned my coworker's iPhone 3Gs first hand, and he asked for a rematch this morning. He got owned again. Specially after using dolphin browser. :-) thought I'd share.
[Nexus One General] ericc191:
It's an awesome phone. I was nervous about finally moving away from a physical keyboard, but I'm so glad i did. It also makes my iPhone friends jealous. Mostly because of the live wallpapers, lol.

Greetings all,

I recently flashed my HTC Hero with Fresh 1.1. I love it! The only problem I have is if I use the Automatic setting for the Date and Time Setting, my clock is off by 12 hours. I do a fair bit of traveling, and like having the option of turning on my phone, and having the network pick up the time. Is there any fix for this?

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA General] wtphoto:
its more than likely a rwsult of flipz taking out the location services. download the kitchen here and use it to push the location services back to the phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] elijahblake:
I'm looking to flash a custom ROM for my friends HTC Tilt2, this is my first time. So i'm looking for the easiest one I suppose.

Also I'm looking for one that makes the User Interface smoother and runs better, he hates the 6.5 Professional it has on it...

I would like to put Android on it, but it looks like that ones not fully cooked yet.

So i guess the latest winmo version with some Bakers tweaks is what I'm searching for.

I just see so many and I really don't know all the differences.

thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] orb3000:
As stated million time before, there is no such perfect ROM.

What is best for me could not be for you

Test them all and decide for yourself, then let us know your conclusions:cool:

Said that, enter to ROM section and have a deep read on the most popular ROM threads.

Good luck and enjoy!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ralexand:
I tried out Dolphin Browser for a few days and can't understand how people enjoy that experience more. Obviously I'm not trying to say that their opinion is wrong but I would like to hear how they overcame the issues I had (if it was ever a problem for them).

1. Multitouch - I understand that the stock browser (SB for short) didn't have it for a while, but dolphins was very picky in reformatting text columns after a multitouch zoom and zooming was never very smooth.

2. Bookmarks - I hated the bookmark system. It never arranged as conveniently as the SB and never remembers that I wanted to sort a-z. It also doesn't fit as many on the screen which reults in more scrolling. And why in the world would bookmarks not be an icon option in the popup menu? I do most navigating one-handed, on the bottom half of the phone so when I'm trying to access bookmarks thru dolphins I would have to use my other hand because the lack of multitouch resuts in my palm hitting the screen as I tried to tap this tiny star that is the bookmark opener.

3. Menu layout - simply don't like an intrusive menu taking up the whole screen just because I want to press the back, forward or reload button. I seem to remember a prior version having an option where the menu loadout would only occur after pressing the down arrow, but couldn't find that in this latest version.

4. Ads - nuff said

That said, what I lover is full screen browsing, seeing the subtle green bar at the bottom showing number of open windows, swiping to change windows, removing the on-screen zoom buttons and having the dedicated Google bookmarks tab are all features I will not soon forget as I venture back to the stock browser.

After the multitouch update for the SB(which I seldomly use in browsing, thanks to the awesome double-tap-to-fit feature), what other reasons do you have for continuing to use Dolphin?

Again, not trying to say Dolphin users are wrong, I oust get surprised to hear so many rave reviews when everytime I have tried it has turned out to be an unfulfilling experience.

Edit: hopefully I've posted this in the correct section (maybe General would have been better). I know some out there are very picky about what should go where.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lightforce:
yea i like the stock browser with MT now. Screw dolphin
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] irenic:
somehow i feel pity for dolphin's devs..

at one time people rated them as one of the best browser out there, and when our default browser got updated, there's people open up thread just to point out its weaknesses..lol.

it's a free software, so we can choose to use it or not..

btw i myself prefer stock browser as well haha..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jp_macaroni:
agreed.

I don't like how the tabs and buttons are in low resolution. It may look good on other phones but on a nexus OLED screen....it doesn't look good.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ralexand:
To be fair, the only big update to the stock browser since its inception (inception for me being a few months after the G1 came out) is MT, and icon-bookmarks and that wouldn't affect my final opinion of Dolphin either way. I tried out Dolphin back on my G1 and wasn't a huge fan of it then, either.

As far as the devs go, if they read my OP (highly unlikely) I really hope they just look at it as some random donkey with suggestions as opposed to me trying to say their product has no place in Android devices.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BrooklynAvi:
Steel in complete junk and always was. Dolphin has its moment but I don't care for MT as it is so that was never really a draw for me. The low-res icons exists on the G1/myTouch. I'm sure that Dolphin has its use and I certainly don't mind competition as that can only be good for us as end users. I prefer the stock browser as it serves its purpose very well. Dolphin needs to get rid of the confusing, unintuitive menu system.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xManMythLegend:
Gestures and the "open windows" pane are excellent.

Prefer default becuase of MT/text formatting/Bookmark Icons.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] JJackson9995:
Now that Stock has Multi-Touch and Double-tap to Fit-to-screen... I haven't touched Dolphin.

Dolphin is great for it's auto-sizing so far as webpages are concerned... But it's really just too much in my opinion. I like the layout of stock, and the menu is just simpler. Gestures were really startin' to irritate me too. Some are easy, but making your own and the phone would get mine about 33-50% of the time.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] HumpDdumpD:
I started using dolphin on my g1 mainly for the full screen options and the ability to download just about any type of file to the phone. I kind of gave up on the stock browser pretty soon after I started using dolphin. however the ads are annoying & the ui sucks major ass, after reading all your thoughts I'm inclined to give the stock browser another chance.

oh yeah and the ability to hold down back and be presented with a dialogue to clear cache and close from dolphin was another big selling point for me.
