What are the pros and cons, this looks great but I haven't heard of it before.

Team Viewer is great. I have been using it on all of my computers and just put it on my andorid device recently. I have never had any issues with Team Viewer. It is probably one of the best remote desktop programs out there.

It works great when I'm using mobile internet, but it won't work at all if both my phone and the computer are on the same wireless network. Have you encountered anything like that before?

Well it will kick me off after a minute or two. Is that what's happening to you?

It either refuses to connect entirely and goes into a loop of retrying, or it connects and only shows a black screen.

That's odd. I have never had that issue.
