Outside of just going to the mobile web address. Is there a way that you can set a PC browser to disguise its self as a mobile android browser?
Similar function how the xoom can be set to disguise its self as an Ipad, Iphone, desktop for android phone.
Reason I'm asking is I have a membership on one website that only lets me log on, with my android device and not my PC.
Sorry if this thread is in the wrong spot... I'm not sure where to post 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.
My college has it's own wifi broadcasting throughout the campus. Before you can access the web though you are prompted (usually) to sign in when you first open the browser.
It seems the Android browser won't go to that page resulting me in a no network connection when I go on my browser..
Is there anyway I can get around that?
Could you use a computer's browser to find the url of the page and enter it into the android browser? Aside from that, I think that the only other way would be to sign in on another device and then clone its mac address.

lol I actually tried that! it didn't load .. worked for my laptop before though..which made me sad when it didn't work.
I'm home now so I'll try installing Dolphin to try and see if Dolphin will pick up the login screen :x
Did you try using other browsers like dolphin and opera. I know that when I'm at a hotel or a mall i have to put in any address first(like google.com) and then i get redirected to the said page.
If I were you I would try to contact the IT department. I'm sure they could fix it within a day or two considering its a college and that android is such an ez platform to develop in
yea.. i wasn't able to download Dolphin at school because my primary building has some AWFUL reception. lol I'll try again tomorrow.

I connect to hotel wifi all the time, where they also redirect you to a login page before you can go anywhere else. But, the redirection happens automatically when you open the browser and try to go to any site. And, I am using the stock browser.
There may be an alternate way to set up your connection... Does your school provide any instructions on connecting to the wireless via linux? (because i used those instructions to connect to my uni wireless).
does anyone know how to stop a website from going into mobile view on chrome??
specifically.. I can't get onto NBA.com without it redirecting me to the worthless mobile version and no way to the full site
Lots of folks complaining on Google web site for this so I guess there is no fix yet to change the User Agent string - http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=44f2824b607e6c31&hl=en
Not that I know of, I'm not sure why Google felt the need to put a mobile user agent on a port of a desktop browser. It needs a toggle user agent option so bad, until then I will have to use other browsers.
I want to know how access the facebook site from our office. the management block it. its really important to me. thanks
The best way would be to use a web browser on a USB stick, like Portable Firefox.
You'd need to run a proxy from some other location, like your home internet connection, and set the proxy options in that browser. With this, the traffic will be going between the two machines, and only going to Facebook after it's out of the office network.
If you're super-paranoid, you might want to use SSH tunneling to port 8080 on your home machine (so it looks like just web traffic), and run remote access through that tunnel to a machine at home, with Facebook pulled up on the web browser there.
DONT USE A PROXY!
they are managed by random people, entering account details, is risky because they can get them any time!

Why the fxxk people can't just do the work they are being paid for is beyond me. One of my colleagues spends half his working day on Facebook while I work my bits off for the company - can you guess that it pi$$es me off?
Speak to your management and ask permission to access Facebook.

Hey guys, so I get my raspberry pi today, and one big thing I can't find is a way to use the raspberry pi to make a http proxy compatible with ios to avoid people trying a man in middle on public wifi, and get around firewalls/restrictions. My ipad gives me the option for a server, a port, and authentication on/Off after you go to setting>wifi>network name info>http proxy set to ON. I want to create my own proxy for us on the IPad, but don't want to use a full VPN (another area of settings). The main reason is it is a school ipad with MDM profiles on it where a VPN will get me in trouble, but there is no rule against a http proxy. So if anyone knows a way to do that, that would be awesome. I am going to create a full VPN server for use with my laptop, android phone, and android tablet, but can't use it for the school ipad. Anyone help would be useful. Any chance this would work with openvpn? It seems more simple and compatible than a hamachi setup.
Out of curiosity how do they track you? Can you leave school with it? If they are watching your traffic you can always use say ssh or SSL over VPN to mask the traffic. You should check out the app fiddler for your pc and use it to see what's going on in the background of that iPad as I'm assuming you obviously would be in deep trouble if you jail broke it. ☺

Yes, I can take it home. I'm sitting in my bed messaging you on it atm. Also I can't jailbreak it because the profiles on it won't allow me to connect to a PC. They have the mobile device management profiles on it so they can track all of my apps, wifi connection, os version, view some settings, secure their wifi password through it (fiber optics hitting up to 50 mb/s), and they have IP address filtering. I can upload it, but I got an email saying to stop playing a game and sent me a picture with my ipad name, the app name, and the IP address it was accessing. I believe with the proxy since it's under settings, and I can set the IP as a static IP to what I want at home for the pi, they won't be able to figure it out and think it a website or weird app connection, and can't tell what it is exactly. They already caught a ton of people downloading the open door app that is basically a web browser and proxy app wrapped together. I just want to use the fast speeds and not have my games and some of my blogs blocked, but not have to leave my phone in my backpack attached to my 22,000 MaH external battery to tether all day and not kill my phone. Especially with my smartwatch and bluetoothheadphones battery life is very precious.
