Packet capture app? - myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games

Hi,
Is there a quality network packet/sniffer app for android?
I tried Androshark, but the developer ceased it, and I don't think he's developing it no more. Next, there is Packet Sniffer which is ok, but is there anything else ?

No interests in this kind of software on Android ?

That'll save it to a pcap file that you can view on your computer using Wireshark. It's pretty cool.

[Q] - Any Apps out there for this?

My buddy wants to get into android, but he was curious if there was an app where he could control his computer remotely. Like tell it to download something?
That seems extreme and not feasible to me. Any apps out there close to this though?
I need to pull up gmote and see its capabilities.

I think that you might be able to control your computer with VNC but I haven't tried.
In regards to downloading... sure. There are a lot of torrent apps that will connect to your bittorrent clients (such as utorrent or whatever). You just need to make sure everything is set up properly.
Yeah, he has utorrent on his computer currently. So can he see his desktop on his droid and open up programs on his computer?
If so, that seems unreal to me. I looked and saw on gmotes site they had a beta that sounded like this.
Can anyone confirm? Thank you guys.

If he's using a Windows Desktop, there is a RDP client on the App Market, just search for RDP. He will need to have his router setup to forward the proper ports (3389 TCP) to his computer for it to work, but I've used it to download things in a pinch, and copy it up to a webserver to download on my G1....
he's not gonna be doing anything ridiculous on it, remember there is a HUGE resolution difference b/t G1/DROID/Mobiles in general vs Computer Resolutions...
Okay, sounds very intriguing.
Let me word it differently though:
From his Droid, would he be able to see his desktop and scroll to uTorrent and tell it to download something, to his computer, not the droid.
You guys are awesome. I am floored that our G1 can do what you guys have told me. I obviously need to move beyond flashing roms and themes and learn what the guts can do.

Really what it sounds like you're asking, is he can remotely connect to his desktop, use it to search for and download the torrent file, and open it in the torrent client...? Complete remote control of his computer from off-site...? I don't know about you guys, but I have to search for and find a torrent file from a tracking site (demonoid, thepiratebay, etc.) and d/l that, then open it in my torrent client (utorrent).
I don't think this is capable yet... but I'm interested to hear more about this from those that know.
Remote Desktop Client works just like RDP and will allow you to log into your computer at home from your android phone using your windows login. Once logged in you have your trackball to move the mouse and can do anything you could do sitting in front of your computer. Its a $15 app which is really high for android OS but its been more than worth $15 all the times its saved my butt.
I also use it to monitor my utorrent download remotely.

If he has uTorrent then he can just set up the webui and forward his utorrent port on his/her router to the ip address of the computer. then download Transdroid (what I use because it has a decent widget) and set that up. TIP: use no-ip (or whatever) to set up a static ip address and change the name (like [email protected]) so you can just input that in the Default Server settings in the Transdroid preferences. It also uses isoHunt, Mininova, BT Junkie and even allows you to enter your own to search for new torrents. When you find one to download simply select it and it sends it to the computer. From there the uTorrent client will open the torrent that was sent and starts the download process. You can easily track the status of the active torrents on the client with it as well.
There are some out there that will even let you scan a barcode of a movie (useful if your in the video store) and it'll lookup the movie and send the torrent to your pc and it'll start downloading. If you have a decent enough internet connection you can go to the video store, scan a movie in the New Releases section, leave empty handed, get some Jack In The Box and by the time you get home the movie can already be on your computer ready to be viewed/burned. And it's not just for movies. It's for any other type of torrent.

[Q] WiFi Direct gingerbread

Hey guys,
Does anybody know if WiFi Direct is working on gingerbread?
I can't find a cooked ROM with this capability.
Wifi cast lite
There is a work around for this called WiFi Cast Lite ...just Google it and you can find it ....just like WiFi direct you need this app in both the devices to do the transfer....
The process is to enable hostspot on one device and connect to that hotspot using the other device and you are connected....then u can use the app to transfer the files ....

FC on HTC Explorer everytime
Totinsky, WiFi Direct was officially implemented by Android in ICS, but it sucks huge lemons and it crashes the phone all the time. WiFi Direct was finally stabilized in Jelly Bean (thanks to a certain little company). There is no official support in anything pre-ICS, I'm sorry to say. On another note, if you happen to get JB, we are building a proximity P2P file sharing app that uses WiFi Direct. The app is called Drop, and it is a simple, fast, and secure way to share files with people/devices in proximity. We are going into a limited Private Beta soon, so if you're up for the challenge, (and running Jelly Bean) then sign up at www.get-drop.com. Seats are limited, and we have a rolling enrollment, so check it out.

How to Capture App Packets

I did a search and I can not seem to find the info I am looking for. I am somewhat new to Android as I mostly use iOS devices. On something such as an Ipad it is easy to loop all traffic through your computer and log it with Fiddler or various other debuggers, but when I do it with my Samsung Tab I do not see any data coming from the applications. You can only log the data being sent by the browser.
I am wondering if there is some special mode I must put it in or an app that allows you to log the data being sent and receieved by Android Apps. I did find an old thread talking about AndroShark, but it says the program no longer works. Is there a new alternative or something I am missing.. Anyway any imput would be greatly appreciated. Thank you ahead of time for your time
Do you mean using ADB to track what's going on under the hood?
What are you trying to track FROM the apps exactly? If you've written an app and want to see what's going on, the standard Android SDK and ADB debugging /should/ get you pointed in the right direction, I think.
i think onavo count might be what you looking for, it allows you to watch your data, and see what app is sending and receiving

[Q] Is it possible to transfer SMS from Android to Win phone 8?

After some googling I found, that the "Transfer my data" app can transfer SMS only from Lumias and Symbian phones.
Anyone got an idea how to do it?

I was wondering the same thing... I'm sure it's possible for the interop-unlocked phones, but that doesn't include Lumia phones (yet)

I think its possible in a very awkward way. The Transfer my data app has special privileges, so it can write SMS to your phone. The problem is, that it can only import from Lumias and Symbian phones.
Now you you make an app for PC/iOS/Android, that fakes this protocol you are set. The problem is to decode this protocol, as I see there are 2 choices:
- Mess with the Symbian emulator. Ive downloaded it, but its kinda hard to get it to use the bluetooth of my laptop. if I manage to do this, I need to sniff the traffic to figure out the protocol.
- Download the Symbian source code and find the part which sends this data. Im now about to try this method, ill post an update if I find anything. If someone i a Symbian+bluetooth expert could help would be great, but I doubt such people are common.
Guys...all you have to do is keep the back up option turned on. Everything else from there is MS's problem. I recently hard reset my wife's 720. All the messages, every single one, comes back the moment you sign in with the SAME ID you have taken a back up with.
Uh, GH0ST, I think you missed an important point... this is from *ANDROID* to WP*, not from WP* to WP8.
@syddd: I'm sure it is, indeed, possible to transfer the messages to the app from an Android phone, but I don't know the wire format. You might get lucky if you search and find an app on the Android side that is compatible with Transfer My Data, though.

Question Use device name/hostname to access the phone when connected to it using hotspot

I have a Sony camera that can FTP photos to my phone while I am shooting. Works perfectly using the IP of the phone in the FTP client when connecting the camera to it using hotspot. AWESOME!
However, the IP of the phone changes every time I enable hotspot. As far as I have been able to find out this is by design. This is an issue, since I need to go into the menu of my camera and change the IP. Not so awesome. No keyboard on camera.
I had the brilliant idea of trying to use the DNS name of the phone instead of IP. Works fine when both devices are on the same wifi, eg at home, but when the phone is the hotspot I find that there is no DNS name for the phone.
Any tips? Is there something I have not thought of?
Noone has any experience with this, please?
Interesting workflow you've got here. I use WebDav via FX File Explorer on a static IP address (within my network) to have a single shortcut on my computers to jump right into the phone without a cable. I know this is different, but I'm just sharing because I know exactly what you're going for. Unfortunately, the WAN IP on a mobile device will always be different when it's enabled.
The only thing I can think of that would manage this would be a dynamic DNS client directly on your phone. I imagine this is possible through a paid service - I run dynamic DNS on my Synology NAS out of my house since I do not have a static WAN IP. Synology provides this for free once you buy their hardware. I believe Asus provides this as well for their routers. There's gotta be a solution for Android, I've just not looked into it and I've gotta run out shortly or I would. You've got me curious so I am going to read into this later. Hope this helps a bit, I will post back.
Edit: a quick google seems to boast a lot of options for this! It should absolutely solve your problem.
Woops. looks like my reply from my phone a few days ago never saved.
I really like that the photos are available on my phone for sharing instantly when I am shooting. There is a Sony app that can perform the same, but it does not do RAW, and it compresses the JPG down to 2 MB. By using FTP I have the option of getting the full size JPG as well as the RAW straight to my phone for editing or sharing instantly.
I am considering FTPing to my home server where I run a FTP server, but then I need to find a way to make the files available on my phone again. Using OneDrive syncing the FTP destination folder or similar should do the trick. However, it requires double the data since I am uploading the photo to the server and then downloading it to my phone using OneDrive.
Is there a "local" DNS app that I can run on my phone, eg one that announces to the local network created by the hotspot? I have used no-ip and dyndns. but that is for announcing a DNS name for my public IP.
I was hoping there was a %gateway% or other variable I could use to resolve to the phone in hotspot mode.
