Citrix ICA Client on Redfly

[davejrob]

I'm a new Redfly user and have been enjoying the experience so far. My office uses Citrix and I wanted to use it with my AT&T Tilt/Redfly setup. I downloaded the ICA Mobile Client from Citrix and it works fine. It's very fast. The only problem I have is that it does not fill the entire Redfly screen. It comes on as a square fully going from top to bottom on the screen, but it does not fill the entire width of the screen leaving about an inch and a half of blank space on the left. It would be much more usable if it filled the entire screen. (It fills the entire screen on the phone in either portrait or landscape mode). I fooled around with some of the Citrix client settings, but nothing seems to change how it appears on the Redfly. Does any one have any ideas as to how to solve this problem?

Sounds like you tried the obvious. But it may be worthwhile you digging a little harder before contacting Citrix to see if they can offer help.

I had the same problem with MS RDP on my REDFLY until it was explained to me where to find the right 'use full screen' and 'match my screen resolution' settings. Not saying you are blind, but Citrix is pretty smart, so like you I'd expect to be able to utilize the entire REDFLY screen.

Thanks. That makes sense. I will follow up and see what I can learn from the folks at Citrix.

davejrob, did you ever figure this out?

 

[davejrob]

I did. It was one of the other settings in the Citrix client. It works great on the Redfly now.

Great, another client setting that might interest you is the full screen setting, to get rid of the Citrix client control bar at the bottom of the screen. I did a quick blog on this at http://community.citrix.com/blogs/citrite/adamma/2008/04/08/Full+Screen+Mode+for+your+Nirvana+Device

Also did another post on the use of the Redfly with Citrix at http://community.citrix.com/blogs/citrite/adamma/2008/04/08/Full+Screen+Mode+for+your+Nirvana+Device you may find interesting.

Thanks. You know I took a look at your blog posts affter doing a Google search and they helped send me in the right direction. As it turns out, I probably couldn't have done it without you! I love using Citrix with my Tilt and the Redfly. It's very fast. One question I have is whether I can keep a session going longer before it times out. Is there a setting on the client side or will I need to get my IT person to make a change on the server.

You probably figured this out already but that's a server-side thing your IT dept will have to do for you.
