Remote Desktop for Android accesses your PC from your phone

Hi friends, today I will present and will show you how it works Remote Desktop Client application made by Microsoft for Android. I know it seems strange but so is Microsoft made an application through which we can access the Service Remote Desktop in Windows. That means you do not have to install anything, so we can access your PC remotely.
The first time I read the news about Remote Desktop for Android I had the impression that it is a poor application, the surprise was quite big when I discovered that it is an extremely well made application, only Microsoft knows something about software ...
If you would be heavy traffic on the network you have the impression that Windows is installed on the phone even hear the sound from your PC to your phone.
Like the keyboard we have two options, or use the on screen keyboard in Windows, or you can use the official Android keyboard, this flexibility always makes the user feel good.
In applications like Team Viewer you always have the impression that you are in an insecure environment, this is not the case of the Remote Desktop Client application that offers sufficiently solid security, you even have to press a few "buttons" through Windows before the connection can be made. , in the tutorial I showed you what to do.
What should you do on your desktop?
1. You must allow remote desktop sessions.
2. You must proced a password for the user account in Windows.
3. You must allow remote desktop connections in Windows Firewall, or stop firewall final.
4. You need to do port forwarding and router if you want to access remote PC in the local network is not required.
What we need to do on your phone?
1. Download / install the application RD Client.
2. To do in DR Client connection settings, you need the IP, Username and password.
What I said in the tutorial is the port you need to do port forwarding in the event that access your PC from a distance and this is after the router port that it uses Windows Remote Desktop service is 3389, Of course you have to find the IP each by typing "ipconfig" in CMD.
All in all, I feel that this application can do more than that, I don't know what to tell you, what Microsoft's thoughts are, but I can tell you that something is in the air…

  • very nice I liked
    and for the last tutorial done by Adrian, a user named Anderson said something about Ubuntu Linux
    Adrian este.stiu to know that you like so much and I like Ubuntu but not what it was before
    ie anterioare.Asa versions as Adriane know you do not like KDE interface I mean no
    I do not like the new Unity interface if you say that virtually no support that the left bar
    any theme you can not change it.'s weird and I do not know about stupid moves and as said Anderson

    • I have the impression that this tutorial is not related to Ubuntu or KDE. But maybe I'm wrong ...

    • I just hope you're kidding when you say something, right? (I refer to Mr. COSTELINI)
      Name me a distro that you can not change the topic!
      May folks, if you do not know how to do things even stated that they no longer can but do not know how.
      That bar on the left is called Dock or Launcher, similar to the taskbar in Windows or the Dock in Mac OS X, Dock that can be repositioned or wherever you want as you can in Windows (the taskbar can be set to hide or you can position it up, down, left or right)
      Inform your better read in Romanian forums dedicated Ubuntu and then affirm that something can or can not. Rush too fast to throw stones!

  • After I enter all the data appears to accept a certificate, you accept the moment, and after I see a box where you have to enter the password each connect data.Nu, NLA logon, e caseta.Ce should I do?

    • 1. Make sure you have admin rights.
      2. Make sure you have no third party antivirus or firewall (Kaspersky, BitDefender, Avast, etc), if you stop them or put Remote Desktop exceptions.
      3. Make sure your useul can use remote desktop to do that:
      My Computer / right click / Properties / Advanced system settings / Remote tab / Select users / Add / here you add your file down to "Enter the object names ....", of course click OK in all windows.

      • If you help me put connectify and it works ... you're a genius! ... I've been struggling for 1 month. I have an ipad mini that I want to connect and it doesn't work. In fact, it doesn't work to connect any other device ... it says "no internet access". I mention that I don't have much in this field; and when I say "not so much" ... it's almost not at all.
        Thank you in advance.

  • does not work for me, unfortunately. I followed all the steps exactly and when I walk on the nexus remote 4 gives me the message, connection refused. laptop has Windows XP.

  • maybe I'm wrong :) but isn't it easier with TEAM VIEWER? It's for both Windows and Android

    • Remote Desktop is safer for both parties. Microsoft is a test that can guarantee security.
      You see, Team Viewer passing through the firewall as the cheese quite unsafe for playing the role of the server.
      Trust Team Viewer leave open in the background when you left home?

      • I don't really trust anything, in other words you can go through the NASA firewall, but what can steal my? movies? pictures? :) I'm very ugly: D, and yes, I leave it open on the days when I need it

        • Even if you do not who knows what the pc, though your PC can be used to launch attacks or fraud.
          Nobody wants to wake up with masks at the door ...

    • On an Android phone, you can connect an external mouse that works by remote desktop directly on your pc, so from a distance, the phone being just a monitor. Through teamview mouse does not work to act on desktop from pc.

  • What's the name of that tutorial in which we could see everything that happens in a network, for example the sites where you entered passwords, etc .. that I can't find it anymore ...

  • At minute 1:58, the bottom with Remote Desktop does not appear to me, only the top with Remote Assistance. What's the matter? I mention that I have the original Windows 8.1, the one that came with the laptop, that is 8, plus an upgrade to 8.1 made on October 18th.

    • You may not have the remote desktop service turned on. Start it from "services".
      Or maybe you have a version of Windows without remote desktop.

      • I have never in my version of windows 8.1 remote control can be installed somewhere or another version of Windows?

        • Only Pro and Enterprise versions of Windows 8.1 have Remote Desktop function (host). While Windows RT and Windows Remote Desktop only 8.1 Korea (client). This is one of the differences between versions of Windows 8.1 so I guess you can not really install this feature. But if you really need this function can use the Windows 8.1 Enterprise which is on Technet.

  • Yes, the tutorial is very good, but it must be specified that it requires a permanent data connection (with wirless it is harder when accessing remotely.) That is, net on the card or subscription with internet option, and regarding the user and password for the logo seems a bit strange, why does microsoft want this ???? ... I leave it to you to comment .... Anyway excellent tutorial, excellent application.
    MS of the type provided. Self.
