Hey guys.

Just got my GNex last week, and remote desktop is a huge thing for me.

I came over from TMobile/Samung Vibrant. I never had an issues connecting to my PC via my phone over remote desktop on 3g. My program of choice was pocketcloud.

Since I got my GNex (Sprint), I have no longer been able to do this. At first I thought it may be the rom (AOKP M6), but then I discovered that I ws able to connec over WiFi, which unfortunately is no help to me. I've tried PocketCloud and Slashtop, two of the most popular clients, and neither will connect.

I'm from Boston, and I'm wondering if maybe the 3g service in my area just can't hack remote desktop.

Does anyone have any other thoughts as to why I may have this problem? I'm very experienced with Android's operating system and onboard issues/mods/hacks, but not so much when it comes to network/internet issues and how that stuff works.

thanks ahead!

Router setup. Maybe the port you are trying to connect to gets blocked in your router?

Check which port number you connected with on your other phone.

It could be possible that sprint would block certain ports to dial out on but I don't know for sure. It definitely sounds like a carrier issue and not a device problem. Call them up and see what they say.
