Hey XDA!
My friend and I recently released a network performance/diagnosis tool in the Android Play Store, and today we have updated the apps with all new features and capabilities. Check them out!
NetTech allows you to quickly and easy check your current network conditions. With this app, you are able to see network strength (both WIFI and Mobile networks), IP information, DNS information, and various WiFi information. You are also able to test current network performance by doing ping tests and speed tests.
The full version includes:
-No ads
-Google Map interface showing your location along with the nearest cell tower that you are connected to or the location of your IP address if you are on WiFi
-(New) Ability to take a snapshot your current network configuration (WIFI only) and be able to compare configurations at different locations. For example, you can take a snapshot at home and a snapshot at work and compare the two network environments!
The lite version includes:
-ALL features of the full version
-Ad-supported
-Previous, the lite version was very limited and only contained about 1/3 of the features, but we felt it was best to get all features to all users
Please check them out on the Play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.crypticapps.nettech
We would love any remarks about the app and criticism/feature requests!
Thanks guys!
Traceroute would be nice, as well nslookup and an easy way to edit ip configuration from the app
I like this app but with traceroute it would be better

Both suggestions have been noted. Thanks for the suggestions guys, we are always looking to improve, so keep them coming!
This app looks very promising, I will test tonight. I have a query, will this app check multiple wifi strengths at the same location?
Interesting, will give this a try at home.
Looks great

Hello friends, iam using 4 mbps broadband wifi line at home.but when i use wifi in my galaxy tab it works to bad, the speed i get is too slow, so please suggest me what to do.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
I have the same speed at home (hoping to upgrade soon!) and I don't get slow connections on my Tab, unless everything is slow, including my i7.
Please give more details..
Which browser are you using?
Any other application running in the background apart from the browser? (esp those that use wifi connections too)
Any other detail you "suspect" affects the broswing experience.
Agreed, I have a fibre optic broadband and get practically the same wireless connection speed that my laptop receives.
As stated above, more details needed, including router and other settings.
Even on my 8mb home internet (speedtest.net reports 6mb) the speeds are identical to my laptop. Try changing channel

At home around 35Mbps download and 7Mbps upload and yes, that is with BT Infinity.
So I use the stock Google Maps and Navigation apps while driving. If there is traffic the only thing I can do in either one of these apps is to just activate the traffic layer which just basically shows roads with different color schemes based on flow of traffic. I am looking for an app that can both serve as a GPS and also inform of real time traffic and update the driving route to avoid said traffic. Can anyone recommended a good reliable app? Thanks.

Traffic update is based on user usage, not sure if that's what I am looking for. Looking for something more accurate and less reliable on users.

Try Sygic.
It uses offline maps, so there is no high data download while navigating, but it also reports the current traffic conditions. Sygic has detailed and accurate maps -- at least concerning Europe.

What about for devices that need data for GPS to work?
Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda premium
Ok so I decided to try out waze, and don't really like it. The traffic notices are based on current waze users so that was ok. I actually was stuck in traffic after downloading it so it did alert me on that but the one thing I was looking for it did not do. Basically if there is traffic I want to be automatically be re-directed or given options of other routes to stay clear of traffic. This app did not do that. It states it uses offline maps as to not consume data, not sure how that works exactly because when I tried to launch the app and get a route for my drive home it would not connect as I was not in network range, I had to restart my network in order for it to work. I guess I'll keep looking around to see if there is an app that daffiest what I am looking for. I did look into Copilot Live by @ $17 not sure if the that I am looking for that it says it offer do actually work, they don't give you much time for a trial. So my search goes on.

Shtick does not offer real time traffic in US so it is no good for me.

Hi all,
Can anyone suggest some GPS app that's good for our Galaxy Note and better if without relying on data connection?
(possibly someone from Asia as i understood that Europe/US might have other GPS apps? )
First of all, I'm on STAXX PA 1.7 ICS with Anidroid Kernel v1.0.
I've tried a few, but not all that good:
1. Waze - free, quite nice, but require data connection, when get to somewhere without signal...
2. Sygic - free for 14 days, nice interface, doesn't require data connection, but can't find most location?!?! :silly:
3. Papago X5 - paid, quite accurate, doesn't require data connection, but doesn't support our Note resolution
4. Papago M9 - paid, quite accurate, doesn't require data connection, suppose to be Note-compatible, but not sure why, mine is not showing full screen. due to custom rom?
Any others that I can try?
*now i started to miss my days with my HTC Tytn 2 with Garmin...*

Gps can locate your position without using data But how do you suggest it can load your map without data?? Have you been watching harry potter too much?
Navfree World (hxxps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.navfree.android.OSM.ALL&hl=en) works quite well. It does require a fairly hefty download (200-500mb) to get the maps for your country in the first place, but once the maps are downloaded, a data connection is no longer required.
The only "problem" is that it uses OpenStreetMaps, which while decent, doesn't have the detail that many of the commercial satnav offerings have.
Replace the xx in the URL above with tt, the forum won't let me post links yet.
Cheers,

Sygic works completely without a data connection. Highly recommended.

Open Google Maps.
Open Menu and Select Make Available Offline.
Now Select the area or add City you want to make available offline.
Click OK. (It will download the Area you selected on your device)
Done. Cheers!!!
Hope it helps...
Some areas are not available for offline map download in Google maps.
You could try NDrive. Paid apps, download able offline maps. Support the note screen size if I remembered correctly.

I'm using Sygic for the past two years now. Using it since the days of my good' old Wave 2 !! It is pretty much accurate in India. It shows even the smallest of locations. And gets a lock fast. :good: Uses Sygic Downloader to download maps(One time) so it's pretty much an offline navigation.

@OP
Above shown method will reduce(if you using navigation in area of downloaded map hardly it uses few KB) data consumption.
Google map still needs active data connection to run navigation. can't use as true offline navigation
Sygic is best from i tried, Sygic/Navigon/Ndrive 1-2 more from market.
Still google is the best if you have data connection.

Never knew about that, thanks for the heads up...but sadly Google navigation doesn't work properly outside US...
Use Mod version of google navigation that is world navigation activated, works anywhere.

I sucessfully tested osmand. It's a nice frontend to OSM maps with offline routing. The UI could use some polishing but overall impression is positive.
If allows up to 16 map downloads (countrywide) free.

Try Be-On-Road
Its in the app store. I tried a bunch of free and trial programs for offline nav on my Samsung N7000. This seemed to be the best - by far. For the entire USA, the cost for perpetual app and maps (update once per year) was $25. A decent price, I think. Slightly odd UI but easy to get used to via their 7-day trial. Not perfect. But I found a bug, reported it, got fast response, and a fix from the developer who will include it in the next release. Gotta like that. Wish it could navigate better using entries in the contacts list but it kinda works (if you have a data connection). Well worth checking out.

The trick is to enter your destination before you leave while you have Internet. Google navigation works fine with offline maps after that.
Within few minutes it will end with msg 'data connection lost'

How do you transfer files using WiFi direct? It's failing when I'm sending files from s3 to TX
Sent from my LT29i using Tapatalk 2
have you tried NFC and turning on android beam?????? this should fix your issue
Android beam is sending thru bluetooth, not WiFi Direct
Not working
I have tried almost every possible way to use Wi-Fi direct on my Xperia TX but in vain.
The hardware is indeed included in the phone but I wonder if there is software back up for the same.
Generally whenever you click on wifi Direct option, there are functions to rename your wi-fi direct device name and few others. All of them are missing with Xperia.
I have tried using the feature in sync with Samsung Galaxy S II, LG L9 and Bravia Tablet. All I can see is that connection is established between the two units but send / receive doesn't work.
It feels irritating to see that a flagship product of a company like Sony has these glitches. In addition, there is no available support on this issue on Sony website neither anywhere on web.
I wish that some senior here helps us resolve this topic.
Thanks & regards,
