VNC viewer shows only black screen, but sends events to droidVNC I am using a VNC server on my Android device (droidVNC it is called.)  I have tried using multiple VNC viewers and each one has the same results: 


the viewer window is a black screen (sometimes a blue screen.) 
clicking on the viewer correctly sends the events to the phone (I can see the screen change, etc.) but it is just blind clicking and pretty unusable. 


I think that since this is the same problem on multiple different viewers (TightVNC Viewr, RealVNC Viewer) that it is a problem with droidVNC server. 

Do you think the problem is actually with the VNC Viewer?

Has anybody experienced something like this before, and are there any tips you can give to make the droidVNC server run faster/better?
I think the problem is with droid VNC server. I have faced the same issue recently and the project seems to be abandoned (app last updated on June 11, 2012).

Then I tried different options under Settings-&gt;Display Access Method. The default option is auto-detect. I changed it to Framebuffer. Restarted the server and I could see the display on my viewer software. You should try all options till it works.



Tested on my ancient phone GT-S5360 running Android 2.3.5 (Better options available for recent android versions but they don't work on 2.3.5. So, I needed to find a solution by any means)
