Windows 6.5 had this function, simply connect via wifi or USB (through activesync) and have 100% control over the phone from your mouse and keyboard. It was great, perfect and enabled no need to ever pickup my phone through my work day.
Continuum blows compared to this.
Do you think we will ever get an ability to RDC to our phone and do this full feature support?
No, SMS through Cortana, via my PC is not what I am talking about, and that sounds ridiculous as well.
You can connect a mouse and keyboard to your phone using USB OTG and Bluetooth. Is that what you're talking about?
Sort of. In the past, and currently on Android or on iphone via jailbreak, you can remotely control your phone through a PC. This gives a person the ability to continue to use the same mouse and keyboard as their desktop, answer calls and reply to texts, etc. I understand Continuum was never intentioned to do this.

This tool do at least what you want via usb. Wifi hopefully follow soon. Continuum is a function which is completely different from your needs. It has great options.
I'm pretty sure that continuum works with wired mouses and keyboards as well as wireless ones. The wired ones require the continuum dock, but it's free right now before sometime in january with a lumia 950 xl.
I use continuum with a 12€ usb c to hdmi adapter and a BT Keyboard with touchpad integrated and it works pretty good. Also the hdmi adapter is very small. This package is 40 euros good invested money.
Wait. With Continuum you are not using a PC at all?
Its to give you basic PC OnTheGo features.

With redstone (Anniverdary Update) you can control your phone from your pc, if you have a touch screen (for example, using a Surface Pro) you can use the touch screen connecting your usb cable.
Sold my dock to cash generator lol, £15, bloody gimmick rubbish.
With Anniversary Update you can use the Connect app thru wireless to connect to your phone ( Actually you your phone to the PC) and control it with the Keyboard and mouse of the PC. If you don't want the continuum feature you just have to go in the display setting/advance and select to mirror screen.

flash cyanogenmod and then you'll have usb tethering
Coming from Nokia N97 to the Nexus my first Android let me see if I got this right, on my Nokia I just install Nokia PC Suite and I can surf with my laptop using the N97, in order to do this with the Nexus One I have to root it ? there is no app yet like PC suite ? just checking and if that's the case then I guess rooting it is.
Thanks

Excellent, thank you
just an FYI that us Linux users need to use CyangenMOD as all the other apps are win/mac exclusives as far as i could tell.
Another bonus to CM (Cyanogen Mod) is that you get to use all of your phones RAM, you get a slightly Undervolted Kernel = More battery life (this is undervolting from Qualcom), you get openVPN, you 360 degree rotation, your trackball will flash different colors instead of just white, (like it was supposed to out of the box), you have a media player that shows artwork on the widget, I mean the list goes on and on and on.............

Hello,
it works out of the box.
No need to do anything.
Plug your usb cable and use your pc internet connection...
Works for me fine
Hi
As title stated I am just planning to use galaxy note as a device that let me control my bussiness pc even work as office.
There is only one video which is very good example of this on youtube
but ı want to know your experience.
My aim is that
1- Use galaxy note teamviewer to reach bussiness server and wake on line my personel bussiness computer
2- use galaxy note as a remote desktop connect it to a monitör with hdmı cable so that now ı am on vocation and using asus n1215 if this can happen ı am no longer bring this netbook with me. Insteead o this ı will buy a montör and use only galaxy note.
3- use microsoft wireless usb mouse and keyboard by connecting usb cable to galaxy note
If this is possible then every bussiness man no longer have to bring their little computers with them
I am really looking for your answers.
I would like to do this with LogmeIn as well. But I think there is something you should conciser.
You are planning to use a USB mouse and keyboard? The HDMI connector would take up the Notes single port, so unless you have the right splitter, and the Note works with that splitter, I think you will need a bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
I just hope that the App works with the mouse HID drivers. I tried this with my Jailbroken iPhone with BT Mouse stack and the app would not recognize the mouse pointer.
why not bluetooth KB & mouse?
KB: I use Logitech KB for Android
Mouse: MS 5000k
They both work flawlessly.
because Bluetooh keyboard and mouse are more expensive then usb.
In additon to this ı use Nokia N8 now and ı tried microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse by connecting usb device to nokia n8 and it works properly.
I hope galaxy note will be the my final smart phone and ı could use it all daily work activities.
If the soul purpose is to control work PC, why not get VPN to the office and use a proper laptop?
On Topic : I used teamviewer with Galaxy S II to help a friend and it was great.
When I get the note in 5 days, I can perform this experiment for you.

I use both Teamviewer and PocketCloud for remote connections to my computers. I use both on my GTab 8.9 and my SGS2. Spend the extra money on bluetooth KB/Mouse; it's the ONLY way you will be able to use both AND still use MHL for external display. On that note (no pun intended), both clients display at handset's native resolution for anything except for video. So, no matter what display you use (even 1080p display) you're still going to be "limited" to 1280*800 in your remote client (which really isn't that bad when you consider, that's basically laptop resolutions!).
Another thing worth mentioning is that Android doesn't really have a "right-click," so you're not going to be able to click your right mouse button in your RDP client and get a right-click response. Just FYI.
aside from this, are there any remote desktop apps for android that does not use any client-side..clients? everything i've seen so far needs to have a client installed on the pc

You can have right click depending on the app - Splashtop has long press left mouse button perform a windows right click for example.
I just saw the Galaxy Note at work today and omg what an awesome phone. I understand now that we have changed generations. This is really next gen! The display is incredible!
Anyway, it struck me as well. With the resolution beeing really close to the 1366x768 resolution on my computer. Im excited to know how this works! And if you already got it, congrats!
Interested to know which other apps work with keyboard/mice - Splashtop is the only one I've found that does (but been a while since I tried the others).
I've used Team Viewer a couple of times with my Note and I've even connected a bluetooth mouse to it, whats worth noting is that you will have 3 mouse cursers going on at once when using Team Viewer and a mouse connected to your phone, the mouse will have a curser and the Team Viewer will have a curser and then the client computer will have a curser. And you can't just click with your mouse and control the client mouse, you have to click and drag the Team Viewer mouse to move the client mouse. Left mouse button will click as normal once your Team Viewer mouse/client mouse is in position but right mouse button will function as the back button and try to close the app down, however, there is a mouse button on screen along the bottom that acts as a right mouse button. Hope this makes sense and is helpful!

Sounds awful, that's why I use Splashtop now.
This is a little bit of a double post from the Accessories section, but I'm pretty chuffed about it so I'm posting here too - hope no one minds.
I was looking to connect a bluetooth keyboard and mouse and found the required answers int he Accessories section. I bought a USB connector and plugged in the bluetooth dongle form my Microsoft media keybaord and both the keyboard and pointer worked fine.
But then it started me thinking that it was a bit annoying that I had to use the single connector available as this meant I couldn't plug in the HDMI one and use the Tab as a Media PC. My cheapo sub £100 no-name tablet has seperate USB and HDMI connectors, why can't Samsung see the benefit of this? The only option was to control the HIDs directly without using the dongle.
Well it is possible. There is a free app on the Market which allows you to do just that - Bluetooth Keyboard Easyconnect. Your tab needs to be rooted and the instructions are not necessarily clear. If you do try it, to connect you need to go back to the standard bluetooth interface, make you HID discoverable (push the button?) and then scan for bluetooth devices. Once it is found and you pair you then need to go back to the app and select the HID in there as well.
So now I have a nice, extremely small media pc (but not) under the TV. Films, music, internet, work all there and controlled from my sofa.
Just thought I would share that.

Yep, no doubt, but I'm fairly new to these new-fangled tablet things
I wanted to know if the Nexus 10 can be used as a PRIMARY laptop screen?
A wired connection would be preferred, with a bluetooth connection being an alternative.
I cracked the screen on my Lenovo E420 laptop and I wanted to buy a Nexus10 and use it as a replacement for my primary laptop LCD.
Thank you.

Thanks for posting, Rally.
Unfortunately, the solution you provided requires a Wi-Fi network connection.
I need a wired solution preferably, or bluetooth solution at worst, because I will not always have WiFi access.
From the site you provided:
http://www.celiocorp.com/screenslider_faq
Q: I've installed the PC and Android apps but the two devices can't see each other in the "Find Devices" (PC) or "Connect To" (Android) menus.
A: Make sure that you enable Wi-Fi on your Android device and that the ScreenSlider for Android app is running on your device with the screen turned on,
Q: I've installed the PC and Android apps but the two devices, enabled Wi-Fi on my Android device, but the two devices can't see each other to start a connection.
A: In order for ScreenSlider to function properly both your PC and Android device need to be on the same Local Area Network (LAN and subnet). Your PC can be connected to the network via Wi-Fi or Ethernet but must stay on the same LAN and subnet. This should not be a problem for home use (and for some small businesses too) especially if you only have one wired/wireless router in the home or office connected to your incoming Internet connection (Cable modem, DLS modem, etc.). If your PC and Android device can not see each other on a complicated home network or in an office environment, please ask your IT administrator to see if both devices are on the same LAN and subnet.
But Why??
Why would you use the nexus 10 as a replacement screen when you could just simply well.... buy a replacement screen? Unless your intention is to use the nexus as it is intended as well but..... i don'y know i just find it odd to use a 350 dollar tablet as a replacement LCD.

You answered your own question.
If I have to buy a new "screen", I might as well get one that can serve 2 purposes:
1. A stand alone Android tablet
2. A replacement LCD for my laptop.
As nice and geeky as it sounds, it's never going to be practical. At best you could remote desktop into the laptop from the tablet, otherwise, not worth the effort, just get a new screen, or bin the laptop if you can live with just a tablet.

No problem,
Well, the device isn't designed to accept video on its usb port, and it probably lacks the bandwidth unless it supports some reverse MHL implementation.
As for Bluetooth, I'm pretty sure all Bluetooth versions lack the bandwidth by some margin to display decent quality video at a decent rate.
Unfortunately just the nature of these things, it wasn't designed for it, so it'll never do a very good job of it.... Remote desktop on the other hand over Wifi will probably work quite nicely.

Do you know about proper app that would support gestures in Windows 8?
I only found ones that are working as simple touchpad - working with mouse.
No support for swipes from edges of the screen....
Any ideas???
Nothing?
Note 1, II and S33 looks like they would be perfect for Windows 8 and old PC (desktop) to help with gestures...

how would you propose to transmit the information?
TCP is notoriously crap for such things, Bluetooth is better but the last i heard (and i haven't checked recently so forgive me if im wrong) Android doesn't support the full BT profile set
ive tried various TCP solutions for similar problems and all have been very unsatisfactory. Touch is very fluid, TCP just isn't designed for that level of finesse
its a good idea, and one ive been trying to get with various devices over the years but relying on TCP isn't going to be good, proprietary is obviously too expensive to develop and deploy, leaving BT, which would be a interesting cross platform experiment from a device that doesn't (didn't?) support it
At this point even USB would be fine with me - I could charge device and use it as touch pad at the same time
Not to mention that form what I understand (from what you wrote) other ways of Android 2 PC connection are "no go".
It would be (screen of a smartphone that supports all W8 gestures) great add-on to all of us with W8 and "old" PC without touch screen.
I saw a logitech device (big touch pad - http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/touchpad-t650?crid=1153 ) if screen could work like this - awesome.
It would not even have to show any picture... just be touch sensitive...
Of course in this mode Android notification bar would have to be disabled...
If your only concern is the network connection, there are tons of options. UDP is the obvious one; I don't know why you thought of TCP first.. However, TCP with the Nagle algorithm disabled (NODELAY flag) would probably be fine. Hell, raw serial (which should be supported over Bluetooth just fine) would be sufficient.
If you seriously think of making such an app (AWESOME), please take under consideration that it has to be easy to setup for average public.
I have tried yesterday this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tnksoft.winmultitouchfree&feature=search_result
And I did not manage to get it to work and connect to Windows. Way to difficult and description of what to do, why, where to get info (numbers for the app/ addresses) non existent. No one (unless you are member of XDA ) will wan to spend time just to set it up.
Serial over BT would absolutely be fine, assuming you can hold a reliable connection but does android support that now though? UDP/TCP especially over wireless coms just isn't good if you want a fluid response, it does work and for basic tasks would be fine but if your looking for a true touch like interface its no good, from what I've seen anyway
