Tight VNC

[iGaz]

Does anyone know how to get the arrow to show up on the phone when using Tight VNC viewer? Its on by default and I managed to turn it off but I cant get it to come back on and I need it for something I want to try!

What's tight vnc?

It allows you to view your phone screen on your computer and control it remotely if you want.

I don't get a good signal in some parts of the house so I can leave my phone on the windowsill while on the laptop so if I get a text I can reply right from my computer. Means I can use a real keyboard aswell.

Huh, that's pretty tight. How much is it?

 

[iGaz]

Free!

You need to install veency through cydia on your phone aswell (also free )

Unfortunately its not set up to work correctly on the new iphone yet due to the high resolution but it still works ok. That why I need the arrow to show up on the phone.

I had to reinstall windows last night anyway so hopefully the arrow should be back when I reinstall VNC

 

[BikeBamf]

Hmm well I'll play around with it since it's free and see if I can give ya any extra insight

 

[iGaz]

Ok thanks...

I will be reinstalling it later tonight so hopefully it installs it by default again.

What windows u running?

XP Pro. Why?

I've figured out how to get my arrow back. It was turned off on the phone end! Lol

Was curious, I have 7 wanted to keep as close as possible, but since you figured it out nvm.

 

[iGaz]

Ok thanks anyway.

You still gonna have a wee look?

Yeah I believe I will, I already use my phone for remote desktop on my computer I think it would be pretty cool to have it the other way around too

What do you use to make it the other way round? Been looking for a way to control my PC from my phone...

I use iTeleport it's the easiest to use but it's $24 in the app store. Just search vnc for a list there are a few free ones.
