    TeamViewer Android Question

    This might be a stupid question, but I can't figure it out. When using TeamViewer for Android, is there a way to "right click"? I never realized how much I right click until I no longer had the ability to do so...

    Are you trying to get a pull down menu? If so, hold the arrow for a second and release.

    Thank you. That's it. Apparently, when I tried that before, I was just inept. Totally worked and got me exactly what I needed.

    Thank god it's Friday...

    Re: TeamViewer Android Question

    Is there a way to connect to an android from a PC, using TeamViewer, without having to manually run the TV QuickSupport app and responding to the allow/deny connection question on the android, to access an android system the same way you would other headless systems?

    I don't believe so. It seems as though the Android app was written to be "one-way", so that it could be used to control a PC, but not vice-versa. I wish it could, though.

    Actually, the TV QuickSupport app for android is half way there. It allows you to connect to an android device from a PC and gives you "remote control" and file transfer functions, but the "remote control" is not remote desktop. You can check vital signs, stop/uninstall apps and check network settings. The big problem is TV QuickSupport can't be set to run at startup and run in the background. That and when you connect to the android from a PC, you must respond to an "allow/deny" message on the android. Wonder if the non-free version offers any more features?
