Horizon Client Stops Responding or the Remote Desktop Freezes
When the screen freezes, first, try resetting the remote desktop operating system.
Problem
Horizon Client does not work or repeatedly exits unexpectedly or the remote desktop freezes.
Cause
Assuming that View servers are configured properly and that firewalls surrounding them have the correct
ports open, other issues usually relate to Horizon Client on the mobile device or to the guest operating
system on the remote desktop.
Solution
n
If the operating system in the remote desktop freezes, use Horizon Client on the device to reset the
desktop.
This option is available only if the View administrator has enabled this feature.
n
Uninstall and reinstall the app on the device.
n
If resetting the remote desktop and reinstalling Horizon Client do not help, you can reset the Android
device, as described in the user guide for your Android device.
n
If you get a connection error when you attempt to connect to the server, you might need to change your
proxy settings.
Problem Establishing a Connection When Using a Proxy
Sometimes if you attempt to connect to Connection Server using a proxy while on the LAN, an error occurs.
Problem
If the View environment is set up to use a secure connection from the remote desktop to Connection Server,
and if the client device is configured to use an HTTP proxy, you might not be able to connect.
Cause
Unlike Windows Internet Explorer, the client device does not have an Internet option to bypass the proxy
for local addresses. When an HTTP proxy is used for browsing external addresses, and you try to connect to
Connection Server using an internal address, you might see the error message Could not establish
connection.
Solution
u
Remove the proxy settings so that the device no longer uses a proxy.
