Use host resolution with Android client

It is great that there is an Android client to connect to remote desktop, but the client has a (IMHO) big flaw in that it doesn't allow the use of the remote host desktop resolution, but enforces a short list of some fairly strange resolutions, none of which match the host resolution.

 

Furthermore, it defaults to a very low resolution, causing so desktop icons to be moved around. If you have a gifted of this, you didn't half an hour getting them all back into place once you get back to you host (sitting in front of it).

 

Could we please have an option to use the host resolution, or let us specify a custom resolution (the list on the drop down is next to worthless)?

  • Looks like this idea didn't get enough votes over the past months to be considered. We are closing this idea. 

  • Yes, please bring back the ability to set a custom resolution, and not just the resolutions shown in the drop-down.  I even tried using a .rdp file that has the target display width and height, but the Android Remote Desktop client ignores those settings.
