Citrix missing from laptop dock? - Atrix 4G Accessories

I do not seem to see the citrix receiver application that I had seen in preview videos on my laptop dock? Does any one else see it?
I do recall seeing in some videos that it was there and in some it was not. Any one have an explanation or fix?
Thanks

I thought Citrix was web based, meaning you launch from Firefox. Either way they said at CES the Citrix was available for enterprise deployment. All the Citrix I have used at work required a sign on, before the virtual machine launches. In the CES video Engadget posted when they demo Citrix, the Rep clearly enters a username and password into a website first. The videos I saw made it very clear Joe Consumer would not see Citrix.

Dish TV everywhere App

As a new DVP WP7 owner im seeking exciting apps that I would actually use. I have Dish network and noticed that they have an App for Iphone and Android platforms that allow you to have remote access to your Dish receiver and watch TV on your mobile device.
I emailed them about this App coming to the WP7 platform, I have yet to hear back from them. But if anyone else is interested in this App I would advise emailing Dish to what the progress is.
But in the mean time I will update this thread with new information I gather from Dish on this app they have to offer for other platforms.
Great news!
You are now able to view TV, watch your recorded shows, and manage your DVR from your iPhone or iPad or any smart phone. The app is a free download in the app store and all you need is an internet connection and a sling adapter connected to your DISH Network DVR receiver. Being an employee I have been very excited for this, if I forget to set a timer for a show I can make sure to do it on my iPhone. I hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions.

well for one this is a windows phone forum section... so how about a windows phone application?
Yes the app is called DISH Remote Access, it is available on the Windows phone.
no its is not i cannot find it anywhere on windows phone marketplace what do we search for exact name. i tried JUST DISH, i tried DISH REMOTE. on thing that shows up close to it is the SLING app but that cost 29.99. i have android and wife has windows phone 7. one on android works great, but cannot find the app on the windows marketplace any ideas???
I'm interested in this app as well. I had emailed Dish back in November and received the below reply basically stating they don't know. Its pretty disappointing that Directv had a WP7 app ready at launch, but Dish doesn't even seem to be moving.
Thank you for taking the time to contact us. We appreciate your inquiry and we are happy to assist. At this time, we do not have any information as to when we will be expanding the Dish Remote Access application to the Windows 7 phone. We are always looking for ways to improve our service and we appreciate your input. We will forward your comments and concerns to the proper department. We cannot guarantee this will be implemented. Thank you again for choosing Dish Network and please feel free to contact us again with any future concerns.
If you have any other questions, please visit dishnetwork.com/chat to start a live chat with a technical service representative for additional assistance.

Right I just switched from DTV over Dish. This would be a very useful app and hope its in the future of Dish because I would actually use it. It would also be nice if I could pay my bill through the app or add/delete services. An app could be much easier that surfing their full website
The app is not available on the Windows 7 phone just yet, for any other smart phone the app is called DISH Remote Access.
Just get a slingbox and use the Slingplayer Mobile Windows Phone App.
Then you are not tied to dish....

Uhh...no. The Slingplayer app is THIRTY BUCKS! I'd rather wait for an official free Dish Network app than spend money to buy a Slingbox AND the app.
That is correct the Sling app is 30$, but the DISH Network app is completely free. If you have DISH and a sling adapter then you can install the DISH Remote Access app in the iTunes store or the Android marketplace.

[Q] Best video options on the A7?

I am new to Android & would really like to us my A7 to access both online hosted Streaming Video (movies & TV shows) as well as host my DVDs on my internal network.
I had hoped to use Netflix but research on the web indicates that isn't a go on Android without newer, possibly embedded hardward based, DRM solutions. I did see a post about Amazon and RockPlayer but not really much else to go on.
Can people reply and indicate what are the best Streaming Video sites (& client being used to access those sites) for the A7? If you need to use one for movies & one for TV shows please list multiple...
Can people also reply with more insight on how they are hosting & consuming their own DVD collections? Specifically I would like to know:
What did they use to rip their DVDs?
Where do they host them (off a PC? a NAS?, etc)?
What client do they use on the Android A7 to access them?
What protocol (NFS?,CIFS?,SFTP?,etc) does the A7 use to access their DVDs?
For reference I have multiple options available to me at home inclucing RedHat Enterprise Linux & a few other flavors, Win 7, Win XP, and a central NAS device.
tv shows
for tv shows I like (tv shows stream) from the market
Playon seems to work well for me and it will let you stream Netflix and other sites kinda expensive 5amonth or 80 for a lifetime.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
When I get back from Spring Break I want to try Playon. I don't like the idea of another subscription but it seems really flexible. It might also allow me to watch Hulu through my bluray player (which stopped supporting it) so that is a big plus... Being able to centralize all of that to a central computer and shoot it to my TV, laptop, and Android A7 would be great.
The Netflix.apk is available as beta for Android. I installed on my A7 and can manage my account, queue and search. When I launch a live stream of instant movies it says can not connect to Netflix servers please try again.
My research is that they won't allow netflix to natively run on Android without some Digital Rights Management (DRM) capabilities (currently too open) built into. Some Android device makers may be releasing some newer models that allow for this and the native netflix should work for them but maybe never for us if it is a hardware based implementation...
That being said, the Netflix over playon seems to be working OK for me as I went ahead and set it up before traveling for Spring Break... Both Netfilx & hulu worked fine on my home LAN and was working OK on my hotel WIFI for a few hours but isn't for some reason right now.
I need to replace my home router so that I can take the current router with me as it turns my 3g/4g USB device into a personal portable WiFi (kinda like a geeky MIFI). Currently that router uses both my DSL & USB cellular data card together at home and I didn't have time to do that before I left and if I took it with me my home would have been down and I wouldn't be able to serve playon from home while traveling...
Tv.com also works well on these devices

[Q] best remote desktop app to use with a dedicated server

I have a desktop computer that i want to use as a dedicated remote desktop server for my phone. I want to set it at native 800x480 160dpi or something similar and be able to use it over my 3g connection anywhere. This pc will be used as a bittorrent machine and media server for both my phone and home network plus any other cool uses i can think of later. What i need to know is what is the best app to use so that i have a native touchscreen like interface from my phone.
Phone my pc might be the type of program you speak of if so, that's what I use. It is rather functional.
E3D'ed... Booyah!
does it allow you to use it like a touchscreen computer, as in being able to click on something by just tapping it? also how well does it fill the screen?

Phonemypc is a great app. I used it to root/rom my friends samsung charge who lives in maryland and I live in california. And yes it is like a touchscreen computer that you can zoom in on and holding an item on the screen performs a right click. I used to "obtain" it from the internet but since then it has been updated so much I bought it to support their efforts (it is expensive at 10 dollars though)

There are a couple paid apps for this on getjar for free. I don't recall what they are off hand, but it may be worthwhile to look!

I use logmein. It is free to use on your server, but the client (Logmein Ignition) app cost money for your phone. I like it because it keeps your stuff secure (no direct expoure to the outside world, since no port forwarding is required), plus I already had it installed on my other PCs.

Help....want to stream video from PC to N7

I want to be able to stream varies video files (avi, mkv, etc) to my N7 from my PC while away from home. Tried looking to see if this was already talked about but couldn't see anything.
Tried Plex however unsuccessful in setting it up? Any links or suggestions or best app's or tutorial on setting this up? UPnP/DLNA or FTP (old school way)? Plex or BubbleUPnP or something else?
FYI....running Windows 7 x64 at home. Have N7 connected to my i9100 most of the time. Have newer Netgear WNDR3700-100NAS Wireless Gigabit Open Source Router at home. Also my N7 is not rooted.
Thank you in advance.
Have you tried orb or playon?
Have you tried VLC, or XBMC?

If you enable file sharing you can use es file explorer and dice player to stream from your PC but it has to be on the same network. I've been watching movies this way since I got my nexus and it works great. There's no lag or having to wait for buffer.
You should just go download qloud video server and then thank me after... I guarantee its exactly what you're looking for... easy to setup and works perfect ... seriously don't know why more people don't recommend this!
Best solution to the OPs question is Plex
Or dice VPN
Dice player will play videos over a shared folder.
Did you try Zumocast?
I'd say Plex too, don't really like Orb's interface, but if the OP was having issues setting up Plex (a very easy process in my experience) I would think that they will have similar issues with any other service.
Does Subsonic handle video? If so, Subsonic = instant win... I use it for music. Couldn't ask for much more than what Subsonic offers.
Note: It's free for basic use, but for mobile use you need to donate a few bucks to unlock a key to use it with mobile devices as well. I donated like 15 bucks. EASILY worth it. I hook up my N7 to some 2.0 speakers on my deck and stream from my server downstairs.

i dunno about App, but the old school way is indeed the easiest way. set up FTP server in ur PC, open and forward FTP port from your router, use ES File Explorer to add the WAN IP address as FTP server.
of course, 2 issues:
- if u got Dynamic IP (standard home cable/satellite broadband) then u need to update it every now and then
- i cant guarantee it can "stream" if using a FTP setup.
the alternative is of course using ur router, setup a Virtual server, and share the windows machine. if u set it up securely and use the correct ports, then it could be the better solution. but im not sure how to configure it with Netgear.
Dice player have built in
Smb , ftp , http support with external sub files.
No rooting is required.
Plex is fairly simple to setup. Need to make sure you UPnP on your router, if not then set the default port in the firewall on the router for the app. After you install, launch your browser or right click the icon in the task tray. Web address is http://computerIP:32400/manage. You will then tell it where your TV, Movies, Pictures, and Music folder is and let it sit for awhile depending so it can gather all the metadata.
I have been using Plex for over a year now and it just keeps getting better. I use it on all my devices when I am out and use Plex Media on my desktop connected to the TV or stream to xbox on my office TV.
Also create an account with plex forums and you can use it to log in in the web GUI and it will make it easier to connect to your N7 while out of the house.
If you have other question on setting it up, PM me and I'll try my best to help out.

I set this up yesterday and it works beautifully. It's supposed to be for Motorola phones but you can get a patched version from here:

Get the Patched-Rotation file
Setup is as easy as making an account and logging in to it on your PC and device. You also have to download the PC software from the zumocast site. I've tested this away from home and it works great. Streams videos, music, and basically opens any file up (like documents, pictures..etc)
Plex is best...

[Q] The Single Greatest Flaw of Nexus 7 Remedy????

I've had my Nexus 7 since Christmas. While I really like it, I still am VERY disappointed in it (in)ability to handle video output. Has there been ANY developments since Christmas in fixing this huge flaw? Any new hardware that will make viewing a movie from the Nexus to a TV acceptable? Any software that will improve the situation? I really am disappointed that I still have to watch videos through my Kindle (which I WAS planning to give to my daughter). I did buy a converter cord that was suggested here, but it's somewhat mediocre; odd "static" flashes, odd over-bright colors.

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I spend a great deal of my time in an area with extremely erratic internet. I simply can't use the internet to stream, so a hard wire is required. I bought a Patuoxun Slimport MyDP, which "works", but the quality is pretty mediocre. Static, hesitancy. I was hoping that there was some sort of new hardware that kept things smooth and consistent. My old Kindle Fire HD had a much better output quality (although not perfect). Hoping to at least match it on my Nexus.

Can you explain this to me? Are you saying that the connection is "local"? So, if I have a movie on my Nexus and want to "broadcast" it to my TV through Chromecast, is the signal NOT uploading and then downloading via the internet? Because I cannot use the internet where I live part time to stream; the connection is way too slow. Can you explain how "wireless LAN" is setup and how it works? And is this possible using a Roku instead of a Chromecast (I own a Roku unit).
Thanks.

Right, it's local, it gets the video from your device over your wireless router, to the chromecast, internet does not come into play at all.
Do you have a wireless router (aka wifi)? If so then all you do is set up the chromecast to attach to it, then have your N7 connect to the same wifi network, then your N7 can send to the chromecast directly, with the help of one of those apps.
If you do not have wifi access point or router, then you will of course have to buy one, initially you will need internet to get the apps and stuff, but once it's setup you can play movies/ pics/ music that is on your N7 directly to your chromecast on your TV.

if you don't have a chromecast but happen to have a PS3 or Xbox 360 you can use Skifta/Bubble UPNP to stream files from your tablet to your console to watch on tv, I use Skifta and it works flawlessly on my ps3 as mdamaged said above, no need to internet to come into play, just your local network so internet issues won't affect it :good:
as for your Roku player, they have an app to do exactly that, stream straight to it but for some reason apparently doesn't support N7 2013, but supports the 2012 version

I downloaded the app you listed above. It now lists N7 2013 as compatible. I could get the pictures and music functions to work, but not videos. I have access to a massive legal catalog of MKV and MP4 movies. However, when I tried to play either type via the software I get a message that the movies are incompatible with the Roku. I guess my next move will be to borrow someones Chromecast and try it. Life shouldn't be this hard.

Then you can simply from your tv find the movie you want to watch and leave the nexus 7 out of this

Just a heads up here. You can buy a slim port for less than 30$ here:
http://www.amazon.com/SlimPort-HDMI-Adapter-Connect-enabled/dp/B00DWGB6CU/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1393867107&sr=1-2&keywords=slimport
I think the difference between this one and the other one linked earlier is the model difference (SP1002 vs SP1003 here) which could be a newer version of the same product.
Also if you search for something that can stream to your roku, you can try allcast here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.cast&hl=en
There's a limitation on the free version but if it works great on your device, you can buy the full version for 5 bucks I think.
Hope it helps.

Thanks for your response. Yes, I saw the Slimport. Tempting.
I tried AllCast. Doesn't handle several formats well. Couldn't use it.
I think the ideal solution would be some sort of Roku app that would allow DIRECT interface with my laptop or Nexus via my router. Since my internet speed is too slow for streaming, I can't use an app like Plex, for instance, to view movies on my laptop/Nexus. I just looked at Plex; very nice concept, but can't figure out a way to avoid using the internet.
I borrowed a ChromeCast stick today. Will try that with AllCast and other apps on my nexus and see what happens.
I appreciate ALL input!

I use plex server and its app on my roku, it streams over the LAN. You'd setup the server on your laptop or PC (dual core or better recommended and 2 gigs or more of ram), and set it up, install the roku app, and it'll find the plex server on the network and you can play through that. BubbleUPNP works similarly in that it has a server (paid) that transcodes (like plex server) to allow more formats than the chromecast can accept directly.

none of the options both I and everyone else has suggested USE THE INTERNET. If you pull out your DSL connection from your modem/router, you still have a local network connection between devices via your router, and all the apps we have suggested will work perfectly. Your ISP speed has absolutely nothing to do with what you want to do.
