Hi all!
I'm a happy g1 user, who often use the wireless tether for root users-app. Really like this app, I think its one of the best for android.
On my study places theres no public wifi point, so no wireless internet access.
I have a limited data plan, so I can go online(if its urgent) while "studying" .
I enabled the access control, otherwise the other ones would consume my traffic volume in a few days
My question is:
Would it be possible to make an redirect for the other people, who connect to my phone?
I mean, when they open the browser and try to google ^^ they would be redirected to a page on my phone/or a redirect to my laptop?
It would be great to give them some infos for e.g. an running ircserver.
If someone has a idea, how to do that, I would be really happy
Greetings, scheich
You would have to rewrite the iptables rules used by tether, but yes, definitely possible. Why though? Wouldn't it be better to just keep them out entirely?

Hmm, year sure, but I think it would be interesting to chat "offline" with each other, and talk about stuff of the course.
Thx for the info about the iptables, I will take a look at it.
I have seen few apps that are capable of doing this over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and USB. But I am more interested in something that can do it over 3G. At work my desktop PC is not on a wireless network; there is Wi-Fi but on a spate subnet with no easy access to the main network. I do have Bluetooth / USB on my main desktop but I work from different PCs therefore its not very convenient for me to pair/connect it each time I go to a different PC. And I don’t use Wi-Fi at home either.
Then there are other benifits to using 3G like I can still access the phone even if I forget it somewhere (i.e at home in the car etc). The new HTC Sense services for HTC Desire HD will have remote access to SMS, call and location information , which is exactly what I'm after. But for now SMS alone is enough.
I came across one App called SMS2PC which can connect to a computer over 3G. But from what I gathered, with that the phone connects to the PC and pushes notifications, not the other way around. This is not going to work for me because at work I am behind a corporate firewall, so my phone cannot access the desktop.
Any other solutions ??
EDIT : i know SMS backup can backup text messages to google, but I can't reply from there. So that wont help much. And I'm not in US, therefore I dont have access to Google Voice service, so replying through that is not going to work either.
Is Google Voice avilable to you (specifically, you will need a Google Voice phone number)? If so, that will be my recommendation. In addition to free SMS and visual voice mail, you can use your Google Voice anywhere that you have access to a web browser. It doesn't have to be your phone.

No google voice is not available ( as mentioned in my last line , coz I knew some one would suggest that).
I wonder why no one has made such an app so far.
Maybe I'll have to write my own.. haven't done any android programing yet, guess its about the time.. waiting for a break from work to start playing around with it a bit...

I use smstools. It is in every major repo. However - from your non-technical wording - I assume that you use the gamerz OS (Windos). Worry not, you can easily compile the program yourself, or google for binaries.

Yes, I use Windows mostly . Thanks for that link, but I don't think thats quite what I want either. That seems to use the phone as a modem to send and receive SMSs; which means I'll have to connect the phone to a PC locally (i.e USB, IR, BT etc..).
I'm looking for a solution that allows me to connect to the phone remotely over the internet (phone online on 3G) to access and send messages. A setup where there is a PC client which polls the phone periodically for new messages and a server running on the phone allowing the PC client to gain access to its messaging service. So I don't have to connect/disconnect every time when changing PCs, it will also allow me to connect even when the phone is not with me (left behind at home / car ).
Ah, I got it now!
Well, of course you could compile SMSTOOLS for your phone
Or take a look at RemoteSMS or similar apps!
Also possible to remote control your handset via vnc-server. That one has far more possibilities than remote SMS-ing...

I’m coming from Windows development side, so pardon me for my ignorance on Linux dev. But from the little I know, you can't compile Unix/C code to Android, am I wrong ? At least not in a straightforward manner... You can only develop apps using their customized Java (Dalvic) , right
Even if its possible, I think developing an app from ground up is far more easier than trying to integrate smstools in to android. Besides, that doesn't solve my problem at all, because accessing the phone from the PC is the issue, and I don't see how running smstools on the phone is going to solve that.

RemoteSMS only works over Wi-Fi and BT, no 3G support .
I guess remote desktop is one solution, but I prefer a much simpler app. Besides VNC will not send me any notifications, I have to manually check. ..
Looks like I'll have to write my own app for this . Havent done any android development yet, looks like this is going to be my first project..
Wifi Keyboard works on 3g (yes dumb but )
3G might be blocked by some carriers.

You don't need to be in the US to get a Google Voice account or use it for SMS. I am in Canada and use it for SMS all the time.
See this link. Note that despite the title this will work for any country.

Thanks, I'll give it a try. Are SMSs free for international numbers as well ?
EDIT : I don't want to login through some unknown proxy server and give out my credentials. Besides, it is not a permanent solution. another dead end
Waiting for new ideas

Linux is a kernel, and Android is a Linux kernel based operating system. You can compile anything (that compiles for GNU/Linux for the given architecture) for Android/Linux as well. It will be native code however (as opposed to DALVIK, which is VM code). You have the option to cross-compile on your PC, or to compile code right on your phone. It is a command line affair... not some nice one-click task.
BTW I did not see in their own advert, that RemoteSMS would be limited to wifi... you sure? (Would be pretty weird move from them, since communicating over wifi and 3G is not really different from the programmer's point of view)
Found this today , posted on XDA : talkmyphone.
Exacly what I was looking for .
YAY!
Thank you! I have been looking for something like this because I am also behind a corporate firewall at work.
Yep, I'm a newb.. but what's new? ;p
I will try to keep this as short and informative as possible so that I can get some of you to help this gal out- In need of pro advice and amateur instructions..! I know I know I am sure you all get sick of damn newbies cramping your sexy geeky style..
Anywhoozer,
I purchased an unlocked, rooted, and euro flashed 7 inch Galaxy Tab from Ebay
(Which is likely mistake #1!)
I was ultimately looking for a tab with internet and voice calls- the tab has the calling feature but no internet. Says I am connected to the EDGE network but cannot connect to market, login to email, set up accounts, etc. (Just an added note, I could care less about 3g/2g/10g/whatever! I just want internet, speed is nice but not necessary) So the major issue here is when attempting to use the browser, I am redirected to Tmobiles website.
Yes, I have googled "T-mobile redirect" but let's just save time and space and call me dumb
Moving on..
I contacted the seller, he said to download and install root explorer, I did, correctly, (thankful for kindergarten instructions found online) but it did not change anything.
Perhaps you could help me. Here is what I have collected while browsing relative issues via google..
Apparently I need a modem switcher? (How, what?)
Or do I need to change or "fake" the APN settings? (repeat)
Is my tmobile "phone" sim card (which includes a data plan) compatible?
blahblahblahblahblah.. and everything else you have heard before
P.S HELP?
try to get a config sms from your provider... this could help to set up your apn and browser config

I need to copy some extensive chat data files from Skype on my Android SGS1... before I flash new firmware. Even Googling can't point me in any sort of direction or filepath! Where the heck, rooted or unrooted, will i find these data files and specifically chat?
Thanks guys
as far as I know, Skype Chat-data is on their servers, so unreachable for you. you should be able to flash and still have your chats - though I noticed that if you log on Pc there's a different chat history than on the smartphone... maybe they store it extra for the skype app?
I can not guarantee for the things I wrote - but I think it's just that way.

Hi, well on a PC Sype files are kept on the PC itself and never on Skype..the reason the chats may differ between a PC and Andrpoid device is, you had one on and not the other, so they did not syncy. So I really fear fklashing as these chat records are very very valuable indeed and I can't afford to lose them! Thanks, but any other ideas out there?
I've been wondering that we often switch rom between one and another. And we have to request for passwords for those protected networks repeating and that's kinda annoying. Is it possible that we can transfer WiFi data ?

This is not the right place to ask, ask it in Q&A here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2117
But because noobs will be noobs:
There are several ways to save or backup your wifi acces codes
I use Titanium Backup (as most people do)
But most other backup programs will also do..
Maybe try Carbon (it's free) - tough I have not tested it yet
EDIT: a simple google finds this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ryanamaral.wifi.passwords&hl=nl
(I googled: backup wifi acces android)
