Hi -
I need to be able to control my Transformer Prime. I have tried
VNC servers (multiple ones). I've tried every remote control daemon in the store, and a few paid ones.
Problem is as follows - they all allow me to connect, however the screen (even after changing and trying every possible setting on my client, including embedded Java software). EVERYTHING yields the below image. I tried turning off and on every single option in the server and client, and tried various other software. All of it seems to be reading the wrong screen pointer...
The 2nd screen shot is from an expensive Smartdog product. I tried the relay mode but results were identical.
I submitted logs to the developers, but maybe someone here can write a simple, working vnc daemon for us Prime 4.0.3 x.x.x.21 folks.
Has anyone ran into this problem and how does one solve it? I literally tried everything, including making sure the screen never turns off, etc. I get the same results, a green version of the boot screen twice across my VNC viewer. I killed a day trying to figure it out no closer than I began.
Any ideas from people?
Much obliged in advance - You guys have saved my arse several times already!
.21 I made sure the root was kept.
Hope someone can help

This is obvious because the app capture images from screen buffer, however, some models, such as yours, no longer user frame buffer device for rendering.
There are several servers, including at least one in the market, and one I helped develop that will work with rooted transformers (I have a TF201).
Here is a link to the one I work on:

Near the end of that thread is a link to one of the servers in the market that seems to also work, but I have not personally tried it.

I'm looking to be able to use my Galaxy Tab as a second PC display. I've been searching for hours for a way to set this up and I've found a few solutions, but so far they've all been lacking. I'm hoping others might have some experience or thoughts on the subject. Here's what I tried or looked into so far:
iDisplay - Available on the Market. So far about the only solution that works, but it's god awful slow. If you try to use a browser with a couple tabs open, it practically stands still. It also disables Aero on Windows 7.
Screenslider - Available on the Market. Disables Aero. Doesn't like web browsing, FF and IE won't redraw when clicking anything (links, Java objects, tabs, etc).
Air Display - Available on the Market. Disables Aero and DirectX. This one was extremely responsive, but you just can't do anything on it. Not compatible with FF9 or later and can't handle dynamic web content.
Remote View - Available on the Market. Disables Aero and Background. Honestly, I don't even remember why this one didn't work. Pretty sure browsers just froze. Have to jump through hoops on their website to even get the server.
Splashtop XDisplay - iOS only. Looks like it would be perfect, but it's not on Android yet. They said they were working on it 6 months go, so I'm not holding my breath.
Virtual display + a VNC connection - This is the most promising, so far. The idea is to use software to create a virtual display that's normally hidden, then use a VNC server (that can deal with individual displays) to send that extra display to a VNC viewer on the Android device. It seems like this would be the most responsive, plus you shouldn't lose Aero or specific applications since you're essentially just sending out a video stream (I think). Some apps even combine the virtual display and VNC server into one. In reality, actually setting this up has been a royal PITA (due in no small part to my complete lack of experience with this sort of thing).
Other Android RDP or VNC apps that have this sort of functionality built in - ?
So, has anyone actually accomplished this, or have any interest in figuring it out?
I'm looking for a similar application for my Galaxy Note's display. I want to use it as a live display tablet for Photoshop. I tried iDisplay and Remote View. Both were too slow to update phone display. iDisplay also BSODs my Samsung laptop (primary work machine), so it's not a viable solution. I could always use my phone as a regular tablet (one that just moves a cursor on screen), but hey, it'd be cool to have!
Virtual display+VNC? Sounds too contrived, but I'll try to read up and figure out how to get it running. If that's as responsive as a regular display, I'll post the method here.

i guess it didnt work..
Personally, I never went back and gave it another shot. Still think the VNC thing will work well with some effort.
I am hoping to record some video tutorials for a mobile device user group at work (I work at a university) that would be directed toward the faculty and staff. I'd like to record the screen of an Android device as I walk through the different tutorials, but not by video camera. I'm thinking screencast, but not sure what the best software is to use...
I'm more comfortable recording everything on my computer using Camtasia. I have the Android SDK and got the emulator working, but I don't like that I'm limited in terms of apps (some tutorials may go through different apps). No market makes me feel limited.
I also tried AndroidScreencast (the java file that's floating around). That fails to load, I'll have to post the error code(s) later if someone actually wanted to tackle it.
I also tried [email protected] (droidcap) but the image is over exposed/washed out. I even tried saving a png to see if I could correct the image in Photoshop and found the png s mostly transparent, which is what is causing it to look washed out.
Then there's the Screencast app that I'm not sure I want to spend money on yet. So far the demo looks promising and I may end up going this rout instead, but are there any other options I'm missing? I'd actually prefer a root-free option as I may upgrade my phone and choose not to root when that time comes (I don't plan on leaving this job and expect this group to grow).
Is there even a way to just send a video signal out like mhl but directly over usb to a computer? I'm guessing you'd need a specific program to receive it, but I can day dream right?
Screencast is pretty good. It will be worth the money if you are gonna make a few videos. It produces a very nice video. Worth the $4...
Hi Folks,
My company is importing some Android-based TV boxes from China, and we're experiencing a strange bug with some apps we are developing to run on them. I'm trying to find a specific solution that I can tell them to implement in a firmware upgrade, but I am not sure where to look, so I hope someone here can help!
Anyway here is the problem. In some apps (especially Adobe AIR-based ones), there seems to be a limit to concurrent HTTP requests to a web server. On an earlier ICS 4.0.4 firmware for these devices, this did not cause any problems. But they recently released a JB 4.1.1 firmware, and this problem occurs.
Let's say an app requests 20 items by HTTP from a web server (XML files, PNG or JPG images). What will happen is about 2/3 of these will be sent back, and the rest just remains blank, as if in a perpetual waiting status.
Looking at the web server's logs, there is no requests at all for these missing items.
And, it's totally random. If you re-launch the app, the missing items will be different ones.
So, I am guessing the app can only request so many things at the same time.
No, does anyone know of a system property that could be adjusted to solve this?
BTW I am unable to replicate this bug on any other device. The TV boxes in question are based on Rockchip 3066 SoC's
Using modern HTTP (i.e. HTTP/1.1), you should never open an excessive amount of sessions. Never more than four simultaneous. Using HTTP/1.1 keep-alive, all requests are sent using those four sessions interleaved. If opening one session per object, and doing this in parallel, you'd most certainly lose things due to resource starvation, e.g. the server gets out of worker forks.
That's the weird thing, on the web server, keepalive is on (I also tested with it off, it was worse)
So maybe it's the opposite, AIR or the firmware or something is trying to send more requests than it should, so some are blocked indefinitely?

Not blocked, but replied with a TCP reset. Run tcpdump to see what's going on.
Thanks for the tip, I managed to root the box and run tcpdump on it, but I'm a bit lost now... I tried to filter RST packets on port 80 but can't seem to find any.
Any hints on what I should look for/command syntax to use?

Dump all packets between the hosts: tcpdump -i ethx -s1500 -w packets.pcap host host.nr.one and host host.nr.two
Run the app, then analyze the packets.pcap file for any anomalies (tcpdump -r packets.pcap).
So i got myself an OBD bluetooth scanner and the Torque app...bloody brilliant.
So much information!
anyway, i cant seem to get it to upload data logs to the web viewer?
i have my account created and setup correctly but nothing in the web viewer when i log in.
Does anyone use the app and have any ideas on how to get this to work?
Secondary i have e-mailed myself some data logs and cant get them to open properly?
I cant seem to get Track Recorder to work with Torque Sync software, it stucks at Searching for Torque

I imagine the particular posters have found answers to their problems seeing as this thread
dates from 2014 but I thought it might be worthwhile answering all the same as I ran in to the same niggles when I began using this app so if anyone searching these issues subsequently may find some worth from my reply.
First of all as a far as experience and knowledge is concerned. Firstly with cars;fixing,modifying, engine management tuning, obd2, diagnostics. Basically my auto knowledge is extremely wide and extensive from approx 35 years of obsession and getting stuck in an the deep end whereas my knowledge and experience of computers and smart phone tech is on much, much shakier ground
In fact, for those of my vintage. i.e late 30s,early 40s remember when we were kids. and programmable VCRs were the height of cutting edga technology. Well I'm like the way our parents and grand parents were then. i.e pretty much baffled by it and even following the instructions it was hit and miss whether you actually managed to record that film rhat was on at 4am lol.
So for the second issue brought up by the OP it doesn't matter whether you email yourself the log file or not (I found the few times i tried it that the file wouldn't attach and when it did the problem was the same anyway) you need Microsoft Office or any other type of office suite to view the files. On the pc i have Microsoft office but had to download an app to my phone to view. csv files. Again an office suite that not only displays. csv files but puts them into a spreadsheet format is required.
As for the first issue it's preferable in every way to view the site. on a pc because on the phone display the actual box to sign into is off screen and takes a little bit of zooming out and seaching to find, the same goes after you have signed in when another box appears with a list of the logs files recorded and the tab to choose it. This is where my lack of fundamental computer/web knowledge comes in. I can't tell you why it doesn't sit nicely inti an easily accessible mobile format but it doesn't. Once you've found the first sign in box/pop up it becomes simple, annoying but simple.
As for there being nothing after signing into the webview site successfully all I can assume is either you've no log files to view which you should have if it's all been set up correctly, including choosing which PIDs to send to logfile or the pop up/window where you click on your logfiles is right off screen and has to be looked for. Of course you don't get that problem if accessed using your desktop.
Hi all,
Hope I'm posting this in the right place. If not, please move.
I have Remix_OS_for_PC_Android_M_64bit_B2016072603 installed as a virtual guest in Virtualbox 5.0.24_Ubuntu r1083 with Xubuntu-core 16.04 as the host machine. Using a Toshiba Satellite Pro L510. Took me four days to nut out how to get to this point, but installed and booting and stable now.
My issues:
1/ Location: When I try to run an app from Play Store it thinks I'm outside of Australia/New Zealand (the app I'm trying to run is specific to those regions). I'm in Australia, the app works fine on my phone (am logging in exactly the same way).
(* Update: I installed GPS Status and it tells me GPS is not switched on. Was hoping to then change the location with Fake GPS, which I also installed. It won't do anything with same message: GPS not enabled or similar.)
2/ Resolution: The screen defaults to portrait, as expected I suppose, but I have a 1366x768 monitor and it doesn't fit in the screen. Consequently, I have a scroll bar because as Virtualbox Guest Additions is not compatible with Remix OS at this point there is no mouse integration (I need to hit Right Control to use mouse in host and same to use in guest again). I need to press a bunch of keys to just scroll the screen up and get back to where I was going. :|
Other than that, all working great, Remix OS is great, thanks to the team that created it. The main reason I was wanting to use it is to use this one app on my computer (AFL Live) and plug my computer into the TV. I don't use my phone for anything other than that one app, SMS and the occasional call so I am by no means an Android junky. In fact, before this, I knew very little about it (but a lot about Linux/Ubuntu).
This install has been a quest, a learning curve, and these are my last two hurdles so I'm calling for help if it's out there. Trawled the net, tried some things, but have hit a brick wall with these two problems.
My first post so not sure of the protocol. If these two issues should be the subject of two separate threads, mods please advise and I will edit accordingly and create a new thread.
Tnx in advance.
(* Further update: Just having a read of this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/remix/remix-os/remix-os-installation-rooting-t3293769
Wondering if rooting the device would allow me to change any of these, in particularly, the location to Australia where it should be, or switch on GPS so my app can see where I actually am. I'm presuming it thinks I am in the Cocos Islands or somewhere else!)
(* And further update: The screen resolution was as easy as typing Alt+F1 to launch a terminal then 'wm size 1366x768'. That looked terrible, though, so changed it to 1048x768 (from memory) and it is good enough, though not perfect. I may be able to get closer with further tweaking. Now the last, and most important, hurdle to leap: How do I get Remix OS, and more specifically my AFL app, to know I'm in Australia. Frustration. It's taken about ten days, on and off, to get here and still not quite where I want to be, but hopefully my travails can help someone else along the way ...)
Gave up on it. If anyone comes up with a way of running Remix OS in Virtualbox and setting the location, please post. Guestadditions would probably fix it and maybe one day ROS will be compatible with it.
On the other hand, I did learn a lot more about Android than I cared to know, but am now thinking about buying my first ever Android tablet to do the job with a USB/HDMI adapter.
