TeamViewer :D

Just tried the Android app, which youll have to get from the website an sideload, but a quick run though of the app went smooth an seemed just as good as the PC version.
[Nook Color General] ewong90:
Logmein works well as a remote desktop tool.
[Nook Color General] ColdH33t:
I'd recommend TeamViewer b/c with it you can connect to any computer running it. Very helpful for tech support.

Link is here: http://www.teamviewer.com/download/TeamViewer.apk

phonemypc wont work when lappy is connected to projector..

moving on to LogMeIn, and if that fails... Teamviewer.

thanks for the info buds

I use remotedroid on my phone ... have not tried it yet on the nook but that may be an option.
[Nook Color General] dct3416:
I also use RemoteDroid and it's so much better on the NC rather than my Droid. The larger screen just makes it so much easier to navigate accurately.
[Nook Color General] jewnersey:
Logmein ran slow. So I installed teamviewer and its sweeeet.

May try remotedroid, but tviewr is doing great currently

Another vote for Teamviewer, pretty sweet.
[Nook Color General] CBJamo:
If you have the ability to set up a vnc client on the target PC, I would recommend openvnc, if not than use teamviewer.
[Nook Color General] jewnersey:
alright, so i installed and got the vnc stuff running, but i cant get any remote input working

im using tightvnc and android-vnc-viewer, and the only input it lets me use is trackball, which the nook obviously lacks. the other input options are greyed out so i cant select anything else.

bug with PhoneMyPC

Be careful with PhoneMyPC PC software.

Software: PhoneMyPC PC software 32bit version 2.0.2.2

OS: Window 7 Ult w/ SP1

I was looking for a remote desktop app that can pass through NAT network, when I have no rights to configure port mapping.

Just tried PhoneMyPC and uninstalled the PC software. I found that I cannot connect to L2TP VPN on my desktop anymore! error code 789. After system restore I managed to roll back and able to connect to that L2TP VPN again.

I tried it on two desktops, same problem.

I am going to try TeamViewer or Logmein.
[Nook Color General] glenairlie:
I'll throw out another option - Unified Remote -it works really well...very fast and a lot of pre-configured controls for common applications. I love it.

Make sure you get the latest version RC2 as it's way better than the market one.

Splashtop works good but that's more of a remote option,
[Nook Color General] killhappy:
I use Unified Remote. It does require you install the software on your pc but it works great. It also has built-in remotes for VLC, Powerpoint and many other programs.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicdot:
This is probably a real dumb question, but just to be sure I figured I'd ask...

I am using the Amon Ra recovery.. ..however, I first started w/ Clockwork after rooting.. ..can I safely delete "clockworkmod" directory from my phone? I guess I'm asking because I don't see an AmonRa directory and just wanted to make sure my new recovery wasn't just leeching whatever it needed from my Clockwork directory.

Actually.. ..while I'm in this line of questioning.. ..what exactly is either one of these programs for? Just an interface to flash ROMs and other mods from?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linsalata28:
Yes you can delete it as long as you don't want the backups from it anymore ra backups will be in a new folder called nandriod .
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linsalata28:
Also your backups from cwm won't work on ra you can restore them on cwm then switch to ra and make a new one from there just go back and fourth till you have them all on ra this is what I did when I switched way back when.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] github:
They are recoveries. They do just that, allow for recovery. A safe place to mess with your Operating System (aka "ROM") without the actual O.S. running.

Mainly used for making backups, wiping, and flashing new ROMs. A nice front end to doing these things, instead of having to use the command line and having to type everything out.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sami375:
Hi,

was trying to play the regular angry birds & my phone just rebooted & then got stuck on the splash(logo) screen, rebooted again, same thing.

Tried the recovery mode thing, holding down volume buttons & then the power button, nothing happens I know I'm doing that right 'cos I have gone into recovery mode before when contemplating to root the phone.

Its a Bell unlocked phone, & not rooted at all.

Any ideas on what else I could do?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spectre85:
Sounds like the bad SD card, but can you get into download mode? If it just crapped out when playing a game and not doing **** then it doesn't sound good, but try to get into download mode, if you can do that you could try flashing some things but report back about the download mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sami375:
thanks spectre, was not sure what the download mode is, so I googled it & then I came across this:

Recov = vol up + home + power. When you see the splash, let go of power or it will reboot.

Download = vol down + home + power. You do not need to let go of power.

I was trying the recovery mode with both volume buttons held & not the home button, tried recovery mode, reset factory settings, now everything seems fine

btw do you suggest I root the phone?

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pianoplayer:
I've read on many reviews (Gizmodo, Engadget, CNet, etc) that the battery on the DInc is not that great, but mine is incredibly... bad. Examples:

I browse the web (mostly mobile websites with not many images, flash etc) for ~20 mins and battery life decreases by 20%

I leave the phone ON overnight without charging and it's at 2% in the morning. When I went to sleep it was at 60%

I turn the phone OFF overnight without charging and it dies (I couldn't turn it on, had to charge for 15 mins even to turn on). When I went to sleep it was at 30%

I've also heard both that ATK is useless and that it's a gift from God for battery life. I'm running the Pro version killing every 30min and it's not helping that much (maybe 30 mins)

Is my battery defective, or are other users also experiencing this bad of battery life? My DInc is SLCD, running UberZ RC1.2 with stock battery.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaiserII101:
Im guessing you havent had your incredible for more than five months right? Considering htc didnt start making them until the late summer. Anyways I do know that desire z ports often use up quite a bit of battery in their displays. However considering you left it on overnight and it was nearly dead I dont think it was that. Something you can try is going in the advanced menu on clockwork mod and erasing battery stats. This seems more like a defective battery though. New batteries can be bought for fairly cheap and if you do decide to get a new one you can get them for pretty cheap. Touchpro 2 batteries supposedly work with the incredible as well
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keyboards:
Make sure you turn off GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, etc. when not in use.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pianoplayer:
Yeah, I've had it for about a month. I will reply after erasing battery stats and trying it out. I'm not sure that I would use a Touch Pro 2 battery - seems like too much of a risk. However, I have seen Evo Batteries on Amazon that supposedly work with the Dinc. Do they?

If it helps, I use widget locker, with: extended controls, fancy widget, nexus revamped (with a lot of spawns on slow) and 3 sliders.

I have, I barely use BT or GPS so they're almost always off. I only turn GPS on when I'm charging and I'm using location based apps. 3G is off at home and Wifi is off on the road / at school and when I'm not using the phone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaiserII101:
What you might want to try doing is uninstalling widget locker and charging your phone all the way up. If after uninstalling widget locker the drain is still significant it may be the battery. And from what I read, the evo battery works with the incredible, it just makes the back cover fit a bit more tight.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pianoplayer:
OK, I've wiped battery stats, though it's only been a few mins so I can't tell yet. I'll reply in a couple of days. Also, can I just disable WidgetLocker instead of uninstalling it?

I also have a silicone case that hooks on the front edges, will an Evo Innocell (with back cover) mess with that?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaiserII101:
I dont think an evo back cover would work for the incredible as they are not the same dimensions.

And btw touchpro 2 battery will work with the incredible

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nagmier:
I just moved to an Incredible from my Droid 1 and the battery life is horrible compared... I got it as a replacement for having so many issues with my Droid but the battery life is almost unusable I'm running CM 6.1 and I wiped my battery stats, drained the battery then let it charge overnight powered off and I still get really bad life... I think a lot of it may have to do with the stock 1300mAh battery compared to the Droid having 1500mAh but I'm not sure... I'm considering the 3500mAh sedio battery but $70 bucks is a bit steep atm
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaiserII101:
Didnt see the part about disabling widget locker, sorry.

Yes you probably can disable it just make sure it is definitely not running.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmichaelow:
Don't run ATK. Android manages apps by itself. There's a whole lifehacker article on it.

Sounds like a run-away app.

Hmm, turn your screen off and let your phone sit for 5 mintues. Go into Settings > About Phone > Battery > Compare uptime vs awake. They should be AT LEAST 5 minutes apart.

If they're not, go to the market and install "Watchdog Task Manager" (<--this is NOT the same as ATK, again, lifehacker article on it) to monitor rouge apps.

Hope this helps!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pianoplayer:
My phone has been sitting and charging for ~2 hours, but up - awake = 5:12. Is it normal?

Great work, by the way.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rigman:
There is no normal.

Up time is the elapsed time since you turned your phone on. (i.e. after the phone was completely off, not just screen off/sleep mode).

Awake time is suppose to only be the time your phone was actively being used (i.e. screen on).

So, Up time minus Awake time should equal the time your screen has been off, (i.e. asleep).

If Up time and Awake time are equal, and you've had the screen turned off (i.e. asleep) for part of that time, then you have some app that's staying active durning sleep mode.

1300 Mah battery is not acceptable for a phone of this caliber. There are alternative options for battery's. I use setcpu to underclock the proc and I've seen a dramatic increase in battery life.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pianoplayer:
I've been using Setcpu as well, with 998 mhz while charging, 245 when screen off, 245-520 when hot or <20%, and 245-850 otherwise.

Agreed about the battery, HTC and VW probably want to force you to spend more on extended batteries.

Too bad, otherwise it'd be a perfect phone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Div033:
HTC usually seems to skimp on the battery. It really hurts their reviews but I suppose they can save costs and assume people can always buy an aftermarket battery. I don't agree with it but it's their business.

Anyway, that does sound like abnormally bad battery life, but I have a question - are you in a poor service area? If so, the radio might be working extra hard to acquire a signal. Even when I had my dumb phone Samsung alias (which had decent dumbphone battery life) I would experience complete battery drain if I left it in my poor coverage basement overnight.

Also, when you're browsing the web and such do you use wifi or 3g? I notice that when I continuously surf with 3g the phone starts to get warm, especially in mid-poor coverage areas. When the phone gets hot the battery gets hot, and when the battery gets hot it drains much much quicker. Of course, high power usage generates more heat so I'm inclined to believe our 3g radio consumes way more battery than our wifi radio.

Over the months I've combatted poor battery life by doing the following:

1. Purchase aftermarket batteries. I've fallen into HTC's trap. I bought an evo battery which can last me of 6-7 hours of wifi awake time and 4-5 hours of 3g awake time. I also purchased the extended 2150 battery from Verizon which I can get up to 10 hours of wifi surfing and 5-6 hours of 3g surfing. Back when I was on stock 1300 I would get 3-4 hours wifi surfing and 2-3 hours 3g surfing.

2. Install an undervolted kernel, if you're into that sorta thing. One of the main reasons I'm able to obtain the numbers above is due to my kernel which undervolts the processor. I use adrynalyne's experimental undervolted kernel and it works without a hitch. I use it in conjunction with setcpu so I can have a screen off profile which underclocks the processor to 128-384MHz while I'm not using it. The only caveat to using this kernel is you can only use the conservative CPU governor. This means lower clocked speeds will be preferred as the CPU actively scales itself, and will take longer to ramp up to the higher speeds. But we're talking about maximizing battery life so that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

3. Try to keep screen brightness down, minimize usage of other radios (Bluetooth, GPS). Sounds like you already do this though. Rogue apps have also been discussed but if awake time != uptime then that's usually not the case.

As also prevoiously mentioned, it is possible you have a defective battery and should go about getting a new one from them though I'm not sure how that process goes... someone here is bound to know though.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Div033:
I definitely stand behind adrynalyne's experimental undervolted. You can find a link in the kernel thread on the android development section of this board. He makes a sense and AOSP version. I've tried some of the newer ones like Chad's but I love the longevity and stability of adrynalyne's too much to live with the switch. As aforementioned, if you decide to use setcpu, make sure to only use the conservative governer. Ondemand will cause it to freeze! Otherwise it's rock solid.

It seems that even after using a new kernel and having wiped battery stats more than a day ago, my battery life is still horrible. I guess this means I'm going to have to buy another battery.

Thanks everyone for the help.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HoochieCoo:
I went with a 1500mah battery. Running with Sky Raider 3.5 and either the kernel from Chad or Ziggy and I will probably get 23 hours off this last charge.

I am using my phone a lot more than what is listed in the last post. A lot more.

The 1500mah was $14. I found an 1800 that an Incredible owner said he was using from HTCExpress for $20 that I am going to try. Neither requires a new back.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadget!:
If you have 30% battery and you shut the phone off and it dies overnight I don't think it's an app.

There should be virtually no drain when the phone is off.

I would look at getting a battery.

I have wifi and GPS always on and I don't shut my phone off at night. With moderate use an not playing games or watching videos I can just about get 2 days out of my phone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pianoplayer:
Ouch, that sounds nothing like what I'm getting. I can get 2 HOURS if that was my use.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidFiend:
Like others have said I would try a new kernel,and I also use AutoKiller Memory Optimizer and it helps alot.The Incredible's battery does suck but if your phone has 30% and dies when its turned completely off thats hard to blame on an app.It may really be a bad battery,if I read right and you've only had it for a month take it back to Verizon and tell them your problem and you need a new battery,they'll give you a new one.Ive done it more times than I can count on different phones.You can also try charging your phone while its turned on until the LED is green then unplug your phone turn it off, then plug it back up while its off,the amber LED will come back on for about 30mins. then your LED will turn green again.Dont really know whats up with that but it helps!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byrong:
Apologies if I missed it, but did you try running the phone for a day or two without ATK as per some of the earlier suggestions?

If you have it set to autokill like that, a number of processes could be restarting themselves on a regular basis. This has the potential to really run down the battery.

Also, have you further evaluated the relationship between your phone's Up Time vs. Awake Time? The latter should be significantly less than the former, unless you never let your phone go idle. You had earlier mentioned that you were going to keep checking on it, but I don't see a follow-up post. If you don't address this point, and there is a rogue app that is keeping your phone awake, a new battery won't do you much good.

What are your sync settings like? Do you have any apps that are frequently trying to sync?

EDIT - I missed the point that the battery is rapidly draining while the phone is off. While I would still encourage you to check the factors I listed above, that definitely sounds like something outside the software world. It's possible that the battery is actually shorting somewhere.

I would pull the battery, wipe down all contacts, and ensure that no debris is lodged in the battery compartment.

You can also install something like CurrentWidget or Battery Monitor Widget and start logging your mA current over time. Looking at the log files, you can evaluate when the battery is experiencing high drain and try to correlate those periods against your usage patterns. Of course, that doesn't address the issue of the battery draining while turned off. Sounds very worrisome.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pianoplayer:
I no longer use ATK. There is about a 7 hour difference between uptime and awake so I don't have a rogue app (as far as this shows). Also, I barely use Facebook, but Auto-sync is either on and off about the same amount of time.

Another piece of data that might be helpful: 15 minutes, no use but the display is about 30% brightness, battery drain 10%. Also, Battery Left (by preinvent) shows my battery life to be ~8 hours at 88% accuracy, but I think that means "sitting in the pocket for 6 hours, 2 hours of use".

The contacts are clean; I just cleaned them yesterday thinking that might be the problem. I guess I have a defective battery; I'll take it into the Verizon store and have them give me a new one if they will.

I'm slowly but surely falling for the siren song of Android on my HD2. However, I'm kind of spoiled by the NRGZ28 ROM's with all that CHT 2.0 and sencity goodness. I've tried out some of the SD-card Android ROM's (courtesy NRG's easy as pie launcher) but I find myself missing some of the functionality I've become so used to on WM6.5. The home screen. The weather apps. Other stuff. Taken each by themselves it doesn't seem like much, but taken all together and -- incredibly -- I start missing WM6.5.

Can someone advise me (and others) who really enjoy the super nice NRG ROM's with all their slick UI's what's the best Android ROM to start playing with? WM6.5 looks very nice with Sense, but the same Sense on Android looks pretty plain. The Android marketplace shows the WM marketplace for the joke it is, but I just can't get over missing some of the cool features in Sense.

Any advice or suggestions are completely welcome.
