(This site will be updated frequently with latest details.)
1) Can I use this to login to my Windows XP machine?
Yes. However, you will have to install a VNC server like RealVNC or TightVNC. There are several other VNC servers available in the market for free.
2) What kind of authentication is used to connect to the remote machine?
Simple password authentication is used. To enable password authentication, open your VNC server settings and enable access password.
Currently access without password is not enabled using this app.
Also note that if you are using this app to connect to a windows machine, do not use "Windows Authentication". This app does not support that.
3) What all OSes it can connect to?
It can connect to any OS having a VNC server installed on it.
4) What is the maximum version of RFB protocol supported?
Currently it supports up to 3.8. Anything above 3.8 may not work well.
5) What about Mac OSX/Lion?
They have built in VNC servers. However, their version is not 100% compatible with this app. You may face connection issues while using this app.
One option is to install Vine Server for Mac. This works fine.
6) Can it connect to Ubuntu or other Linux machines?
Yes. Please ensure that you have VNC server installed. You may face issues with TigerVNC. Install any other VNC server (protocol version 3.8 or lesser)
7) Can I use my machine name instead of ip address while connecting?
Using the machine name does not work. Hence it is better to use the ip address.
Yes and No. In some tests it was successful. However, it failed in other tests. I guess its mainly dependent on the VNC server.
9) What about Control Key?
Currently its not added.
10) What about Alt Key?
It is present. However, its use is limited.
11) Can I use mouse right click?
Yes. There is an button to enable mouse right click.
12) How can I scroll through if my remote screen is bigger than the TouchPad screen?
Just touch anywhere on the screen and move it up/down or left/right. You should be able to see those hiding portions of the screen.
You can also move the screen in any direction using up, down, left and right arrows.
13) What are PgUp and PgDn buttons for?
These buttons can be used in case you have to scroll through a web page/document/email etc.
14) Does it support function keys (F1-F12) and Windows key?
Not right now.
15) What all languages are currently supported?
Currently the display buttons/messages support only English. However, you should get the Keyboard in your language depending on the settings you chose while activating the TouchPad.
16) I am able to login to the remote desktop. However its very slow. Why?
Let me tell you one thing. Please don't expect that you will get a desktop like experience with this app. However, you should be able to comfortably access your remote machine.
During testing, it was found that machines with heavy graphics tend to render slowly on TouchPad.
17) This app is stuck. I am not able to open other apps. What to do?
This app can get stuck if you are trying to connect to certain machines. This mainly happens when the remote machine has heavy graphics and this app is not able to live up to that remote machine's capabilities.
There is only one way you can solve this issue. Restart your TouchPad by pressing Power and Center Button together for about 15 seconds.
If you find that this issue continues, please send me the log. I will check if its possible to find a solution for the issue.
18) Which mode is better for this app? Landscape/Portrait?
Landscape is normally better. Anyways, this app supports both mode.
19) Will this app stream audio from the remote PC?
No. It will not.21) Can I view videos playing on my remote PC?
You can. However, your TouchPad will crash! Its better not to play videos on the remote machine and view them using this app.
22) Can I connect to enterprise edition of VNC servers?
There are some issues while connecting to enterprise VNC servers. It may not work well as expected.
You can either post a comment here and I will get back to you. Or else you can open your app and click on help button.
