    Hello.
    I have not found a solution yet. I am still in search of the solution. If I find it I will inform you here.
    If you find it, help us by posting here.

    I think the only solution will be if the teamviewer team encodes a driver for this particular hardware / operating system.

    Have a happy new year,

    I am using a Huawei Nexus 6p. Huawei is on your list of supported devices. So why doesn't it allow me to control my phone?

    Possibly solved on Pixel 2 on Android 8.0.1. Try going to your settings, then apps, then expand advanced settings, go to special app access, and enable TeamViewer under Device Admin apps. I have not tested this, but the option is labeled so that it is implied this is required for remote control.

    Android 8.1.0 I tried settings, apps, special app access, device admin apps, selected TeamViewer Host (needed for the remote control feature). Displays " this admin app is active and allows the app Host to perform the following operations:" but no operations arfe listed. Still allows screen sharing only

    I would like to control my Android tablet from my Android phone. I connect and see the screen but controlled device not reacting to taps, gestures. (Personal use)

    I just installed the TeamViewer app from the Google Play store to my Samsung S7 phone. I then installed the TeamViewer Quick Support (QS) app on my Android based tablet. Android OS is up to date on both devices.

    Started QS on the tablet and received the code. Started TeamViewer on the phone, entered the code, and tapped Remote Control. I can see the tablet's screen on the phone. On the phone I can move around and zoom with zoom mode unlocked. On the phone with zoom mode locked I tap... the cursor (blue hand) appears on the tablet, but nothing happens. Tried other taps and gestures but nothing.

    What am I missing? Please help. Thank you,

    Trying to control an Android tablet (Insignia 10 Flex) from an Android phone (Samsung S7). All OS and s/w is up to date. Connection is successful, I can see the tablet's screen on the phone, can move around and zoom (zoom mode unlocked), but taps and other gestures have no effect (zoom mode locked).
    Installed Team viewer app on phone. Installed Team viewer Quick Support (QS) on tablet. Started AS on tablet and received code. Started TeamViewer on phone, entered code, and connected. Can only see screen, can't control. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Obviously it is a question of money. Xiaomi wont allow Teamviewer if it is not profitable for them. Or the Chinese are already working on some buggy version of their software. Remember, there is no charity in China. Recently Xiaomi removed Lite version of their homescreen that was used by older people and users with sight impairment just because it was not profitable enough for the corporation. So you guys decide who you are going to stay with...

    This device is not supported by us at the moment.

    Unfortunately, we are not able to support all Android devices.

    To allow full remote control of a device, we need cooperation from the manufacturers themselves which we do not have for all manufacturers.

    Please see our Android Device FAQ For supported devices. As this does require the manufacturers support, we cannot simply commit to making this possible as we cannot do it alone.

    Re: android tv box

    I found a solution for your problem friend. Man, it took me days but finally did it! Ok, if you already have your quicksupport app downloaded, keep it. Now, go to Play Store and download Team Viewer Host. When you open it, it will ask you to install the addon. When you finally get it downloaded and installed, go to QS again and open it. You will see that the message will not be shown again, and now you can connect remotely to your android box. Wallaaaaa!! Yessss!!!

    Installed quicksupport on remote Samsung Galaxy light with Samsung add-on. Installed TeamViewer for remote control on host Kyocera DuraForce Pro also with Samsung add-on. Can control screen but when attempting to access files I get the error "Your partner is currently using the TeamViewer for remote control app, therefore the connection was denied..."

    Wouldn't have made sense to install the Samsung add-on on the Kyocera. I didn't, I don't think. To be sure, I uninstalled TeamViewer for Remote from the Kyocera, and reinstalled, without any add-on. Still getting the same error when attempting to access files remotely from the Samsung.

    Hi Pepox,

    Unfortunately, as explained our Android Device FAQ, this device is not on our list of supported manufacturers and so this device is not supported by us at the moment.

    Unfortunately, we are not able to support all Android devices.

    To allow full remote control of a device, we need cooperation from the manufacturers themselves which we do not have for all manufacturers.

    As this does require the manufacturers support, we cannot simply commit to making this possible as we cannot do it alone. At the moment this is not on the roadmap sorry.
