    Not for us...  Huawei P8 Lite with Android 7 , Host V.12.3.7266 installed, no remote control.  It actually installed "QuickSupport Add-On Huawei 2", Ver.12.1.6907 , and it connects, but the Remote Control option does nothing.

    Please, is there a fix for that ??   We need the remote option !!

    Thanks,

    Manuel

     I FREQUENTLY CONFIGURE ANDROID DEVICES RUNNING THE MOST CURRENT ANDROID TV OS.  THE DEVICES IN QUESTION ARE THE XIAOMI MIBOX (3rd Gen) AND THE NVIDIA SHIELD TV CONSOLE.    I AM CURRENTLY RUNNING A TEAM VIEWER QUICK SUPPORT LICENSE FOR VERSION 11.0.76421 WHICH I AM USING ON A WINDOWS 10 DESKTOP.  HOW DO I GAIN COMPLETE REMOTE CONTROL OF THESE DEVICES DESCRIBED ABOVE?  (I WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE USING MY CURRENT LICENSE AS IT WAS INDEED EXPENSIVE AND CONSIDERING SUCH I SHOULD BE CAPABLE OF REMOTING IN TO ANY DEVICE RUNNING THE ANDROID TV OS).

    It does seem as though it is the compatible devices.  I installed Quick support on an S8 and I had the same blue hand with no clicking on the screen.  I connected to an S7 Active and I had full control.

    Yes, that´s right. On two different mobiles it works perfectly (bq Aquaris X5 Plus & bq Aquaris X Pro). Using the Motorola Moto G 2nd edition it's not working.

    When will you support the new Nokia (HMD Global) Android smartphones for remote control? TeamViewer and Host are working fine, Host just does not yet allow to control the phone, it just displays a virtual finger for the operator to tap locally.

    For my Gigaset GS170 (Android 7) the full remote control is not possible ("These devices can not be controlled by firmware restrictions"). Is there anything I can do about it? An app "Add-On: Gigaset" for Teamviewer QS is not available.

    I onlly nbow get this message on Pixel Google phone with Andoid 8.0.0

    I have an LG G4 cellphone.

    When it was on stock ROM (Android 6.0), Teamviewer worked perfectly for remote control. But when I updated to LineageOS 14.1 (Android 7.1), it no longer asks me for the add-on and says "This device supports screen sharing only"

    It is the same hardware, so I don't understand.

    Incidentally, my Samsung S4 remote control works perfectly on LineageOS (after putting the add-on file in the right folder, problem known).

    Please help.

    trying to control a nexus 5 from a galaxy s5, click does not work

    I can´t resolve it yet. No new informations from Teamviewer, no comment.

    That´s no good service. They can say, no it won´t work, but no comment...

    I am hoping that the new Teamviewer that is in Beta right now will address some of these issues.  The teamviewer update is focused quite extensively on mobile control so fingers crossed.

    Unfortunatley TW doesnt' support Xiaomi devices!

    Please ask Teamviewer crew to start working on Xiaomi...

    "good number of people using it"
    How can TeamViewer"people, know how many people want to use the app on their Xiaomi when they cannot use it?
    Did they asked people with a survey or something like that?

    Hi Everyone,

    Obviously there are a fair number of users using Xaomi devices, it is not the case that we are just waiting until there are enough before developing.

    The issue is exactly as I posted before, we have restrictions that mean we ABSOLUTELY require the manufacturers cooperation.

    Unfortunately we do not have this from Xaomi, so there has been no add-on developed.

    It is in as a feature request, but as we must wait for this I cannot say if or when we will have this feature available.

    One more device to add: Pixel C Tablet

    I connect and can see the screen (mirroring works and display changes with what's on device) but I cannot interact with it, just see the blue hand.

    Using Teamviewer Host 13.0.7847 on Pixel 2 XL Android version 8.0.0.  Getting "This device supports screen sharing only" message.  Does Teamviewer support monitor this board?  Is there any hope for being able to control this phone remotely?  Are there any alternatives to Teamviewer that can do this?
