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:
Thanks for your inquiry.
Currently the HD version needs “xLarge” screen, so 7’’ devices are filtered. But the upcoming 2.0 version will add support for “large” screen devices, so Nexus 7 will be supported at that time.
The Gamepad THD app currently only supports ASUS Transformer Prime, we also will add more devices to support, however, since we don’t have a Nexus 7 yet, so I don’t know whether it can be supported in the future.

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.

I've bought RDP, RDP HD and Gamepad THD so I'm all set hopefully that 2.0 update comes soon though.
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?
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.

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.

Yeap, I got the same result.
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.

What's your DPI @ when running the HD version and what version is the streamer you're connecting to?
Why can't Splashtop make their HD version part of the original app? Ugh, things like that just annoy me.
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.
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?

Obviously if the computer is off, but what if the computer is in sleep mode, can you wake it from sleep remotely?
How does this compare to something like Teamviewer?
It is also free which is a perk.
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.

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.

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.

Yeah this app works great, goes over wfi and simple enough to set up. Works wonderfully with msn! Since i dont have a webcam, my i9000m can be used instead! No streaming audio atm but soon the devs say

Where do I get the app for the phone ?
The title states this can be used as an HD Webcam... I tried the standard HD resolution (From Wikipedia: 720p is the shorthand name for a category of HDTV video modes having a resolution of 1280×720) but with this resolution the app FC's which it states it does if not setup correctly. The highest resolution I can goto is 480x480, going any higher on either height or width causes distortion in the picture. Anyone have any other suggestions for getting this to be HD?

At least you can get it to work. I used the recommended settings, it still wants me to force close; even in 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7, it only shows the DroidCam logo in the Skype video area.

Well the phone connected, the PC says "Connected". I could only get the phone to connect once though. Once I've connected and disconnected by a force close, the program no longer connected even when I can telnet into the computer on that port. This happened to all 3 computers I tried.

Hmm, that is rather weird, even after the FC's for me it still works, I just lowered the resolution. All I can think of is telling the dev about it and see if they can help or if someone else here can help. I don't know that much about the way this works really.

Hello!
The title has the question, how can I mirror/view my phone image to pc via usb?
I'm talking about real time image to display the homescreen or in app. Example, playing angry birds through the phone but viewing it on my pc monitor.
I remember doing this with my Evo but have not seen a way to do so with the Epic Touch.
Thanks and hopeful to get feedback on this.
These phones have mhl adapters to hook up to hdtv but don't think you can mirror to PC on USB

When I had my Evo I used an app called WebKey
It doesn't use usb direct connect but uses any web browser on your pc to view & control your phone.
Unfortunately the screen refresh rate was horrendous & lagged big time.
It's been several years since I've used it so they may have improved the app since then.
Give it a try & let us know how it works.
BTW you have to be rooted.

I was hoping to load the Optimum app on my Fire TV, to see if I could watch TV from it. I tried installing the version from Google Play, but it launched in portrait mode, then said "this display is not supported" and exited.
I was thinking the Kindle Tablet Edition of the app might work, but I can't find the apk.
Has anyone gotten this to install successfully? If not, would anyone be able to help me fine the Kindle Tablet Edition of the app and I'll try myself?
Thanks!

You can get Optimium 4.1 on aptoide and it is in landscape, but since the Fire TV uses HDMI it considers it an external display and Optimum does not support external displayes. So it does not work, and if you look at the list of apps that do work and do not work on the Fire TV, Optimum is on the list of apps that do not work on the Fire TV.
---------- Post added at 08:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 PM ----------
Had to write another post, cause I do not wanna be stuck on 666 post. Optimum does not work on any device that uses an external dissplay, including the laptop version. Kinda sucks, but a lot of apps are still like that. I remember for the longest time Crackle and Netflix would not let you use an external display, and I think the other companies that still restrict you from using external displays will never change their policy, cause if they haven't done it yet they probably never will. The companies that still block external displays are almost always media streaming companies, cause they wanna lock their stuff down, cause they are afraid you will share it with another person, which keeps them from getting tat persons money too. If someone elses eyes are on what your eyes are on, its bad for their business.

I can verify that it works great on the newest Amazon Firestick!!! Starts off in portrait, but when you click on a show to watch, it automatically converts to landscape. You do need a bluetooth keyboard with a mouse pad to move the little circle and to choose what you want. You can actually move the mouse to the right side of the screen and click on "quick guide" and you can see what's on and double click what you want to watch. It's not perfect. The quality is a little below what you would normally get with a cable box, but it works. It also pauses for about 13 seconds in the beginning, but then works great. After about an hr, a pop up comes up asking if you are still there. You just need to click on yes with your wireless mouse pad and the video will continue.
Hope this helps.

Any update on this, kind of tempting over running a long HDMI cable. I just wish the app supported some other device with an output. Wouldn't let me quote you unless I took out URL.
I have been searching high and low for an app that would allow me to use my phone as a mouse/trackpad and remote keyboard for the AFTV and nothing out there seemed to do the job correctly. None of the bluetooth based apps would work as I could not pair my Nexus 5 with the Fire TV, and almost all of the WiFi remote control apps are made for controlling Windows PC's. The few Android VNC options out there are spotty at best.
Finally I found Limitless Remote (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dh.ControlPad.main) an admittedly VERY ugly app with ads that cannot be removed (there is no paid ad-free version). However, this app WORKS. When first connecting to the AFTV you get a menu of all apps loaded on the AFTV and you can then launch them from your phone. You can then use the menu along the bottom of the app to put your phone into mouse, keyboard, gamepad, or the tradition 4-way D-pad remote layout. So far this has worked for everything I need, but...ITS UGLY AS SIN.
Has anyone found something with similar functionality that looks good while doing the job and has no ads? Or is this it? If this is it, then I thought I would at least spread the word about this app since I have not found anything else that fits the bill.
App works really well and was responding to commands pretty fine, mouse movement was smooth. Doesn't look good but gets the job done pretty well. Thanks for sharing!
Just to mention, you need to install a server app on the fire tv and client app on the device from where you want to control. Both are free. I didn't see any ads, may be because I have AdAway on both FTV as well as my phone.
Glad it works for you too. I might have to try Adaway.

Yep I had the same problem with droidmote.
If i remember correctly, airkeyboardapp requires a wifi connection. I am hard wired and it would not detect my network connection so that was also out as an option. Its not worth giving up a hard wired connection for. I did try a couple apps that spoof a wifi connection and they didn't work.
So far for me Limitless Remote is the only one that does the job.

Not a problem, it works great. I can now install apps that I would normally avoid, such as hbogo, since it needs a mouse to operate.
I would love to have this functionality but i'm having trouble installing the service app on the AFTV. when I push it via ADB i get the error 'file already exists" the file name is 'service.apk' did you change the name? or am i doing something else wrong?
thx
You don't have to push it. Just adb install /path/to/the/apk.apk

thanks for the recommendation for droidmote. Some of the better three bucks I've spent lately I have a keyboard for when text entry is absolutely needed, but it's very nice to be able to use the tablet as a remote that already controls the tv, amp and dvd player.

Now I'm getting another strange behavior. Installed the server on the FT and the app on my GS5. everything seems to work fine except when i use the touch pad function I can move the mouse pointer but tapping does nothing, so i can't click on anything. weird. did i miss something?
Are you using limitless or droidmote? I think I had that problem once before. Don't remember what I did (if anything) to fix it. Tried rebooting the FTV?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I'm using Limitless Remote. I have rebooted the FTV a few time. I guess i'll keep playing with it. maybe delete the server off the FTV and add it back. frustrating
Okay, let me make sure I get it...
For droidmote...
1. Buy the server app, and install it on the phone.
2. Copy the apk and transfer it to my Mac which has the ADK installed.
3. Sideload to the FireTV with adb install
4. Install the droidmote client on the devices I want.
5. Profit?
Any hope of an iOS version of droidmote for my wife who simply refuses to see the wisdom of Android?
Question is since apparently i can not use sidesync to mirror my screen to my laptop any longer through usb or samsung focus or the windows phone app cause it only allows when connected to the same wifi. Does anyone know of a way to mirror to laptop through my usb. Also the laptop is a samsung 7 spin. This is the kind of crap that really pisses me off about samsung too they always mess with a good thing and it feels like they are scaling back on all the cool stuff that made them great before. Starting to act like freaking iphone.

If you are able too (or know how) you can setup a personal hotspot and connect the phone to your personal hotspot. I used to do this in school with my notebook, was a great way to keep an eye for important phone calls or messages while taking notes on html code or visual basic homework.
Otherwise for USB connections you can use Samsung dex for windows. While not exactly like screen mirroring (there are some very minor trivial differences) you still are able to interact with (and use) your phone and apps.

Samsung DEX IS the mirroring option you are loooking for. Or, I don't understand what YOU mean by mirroring.
What DEX does: after installing DEX for windows, connect your phone to the laptop/pc by means of a GOOD usb cable. In a few seconds you'll see on the screen of your computer part of the apps you have on your phone's Homescreen. Then you can use your laptop keyboard and mouse to work on your phone. It is true, that not all apps are compatible with DEX, part of them may work on full screen only and part of them only on a smaller window.
As I understand, you are looking for full mirroring which DEX doesn't provide. I think, but I'm not sure about this, you need an usb c to hdmi adaptor/cable in order to have your phone mirrored.

This is indeed the mirroring mode the original poster was looking for. I tried it and it works, but I don't see any advantage on using it. There is a 0.5 sec delay between acting on the Note 10+ and seeing the result on the big screen. Also, I tried switching my laptop's screen to portrait mode and then mirroring, hoping I will be able to get a bigger mirrored image, but I didn't.
What do you use for the screen mirroring? Watching movies?
