Remote CONTROL issue

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi,

I have a random issue where I can't remote control some of my customers android tablets. The brand is Handheld and it seems to be random. The tablets run android 7 or 10. I set them all up the same and some of them let me screen view and control, and some only let me screen view.

The teamviewer settings are pretty basic so I'm assuming it's an android setting? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello @NELT

Thank you for the clarification.

I did a little digging, and found this on Handheld's kbase, regarding specific add-ons needed to control their devices:

I would recommend following these steps, as some supported manufacturers also have separate requirements for their devices.

I hope this helps!

Hello @NELT

Thank you for your post, and welcome to the TeamViewer community!

Please know that remote control of Android devices is only possible for specific manufacturers. More information can be found here:

📄Supported manufacturers for remotely controlling Android devices

For manufacturers not found on the list, you may try the universal add-on; we cannot, however, guarantee remote control capability for those devices.

Should you have any other questions, or more information regarding your use case, feel free to reply back!

Hello?

Handheld is listed in the supported manufacturers and I've downloaded the universal add on.

Again, about half of the tablets have no issues and I can view screen and remote control. The other half I can only view screen and cannot remote control
