I need 2 apps guys, pls help :)

I'm looking for 2 applications:
1. a Full Screen caller. When someone calls me, to have a big picture of him on the display, not a small square. I found some programs, but they all have billions of functions I don't need besides this. Is any of you using somethin like this?
2. I don't know if this is at all possible, but i wonder if I can be able to join my home's wifi network and to open media from my computers (as I can do from my Xbox 360 for example)? Because everything I'm using my wifi network for the moment is browsing the internet... :/

You can do it using slide to unlock (S2u2)

1. PhonEx - it has a lot more functions than that. You might wanna test it out, it's up to you
2. Use Resco Explorer, I regularly stream movies from my PC to Coreplayer. It's fantastic!

Airvideo for Android, Best alternative "Emit"

Hello Guys,
for those who's used iPad or iPhone,
one of the best app ever is the airvideo
the app transcode any video type on air and stream it to your portable devices instantly,
Unfortunately Airvideo doesn't support Android,
There are plenty other options for android such as Plex, Orbit, Mirage, etc.
But in my opinion they simply don't work as well as air video,
either they don't support as many file types, or the setup is not as simple
probably a lot of you know this already, but yesterday I found a app called Emit,
you can find it on the android market, there are both free and paid version.
the free version has ads when the video is playing, kinda annoy, but other than that its the same as the paid version (~$4)
But it is truly the closest alternative to Airvideo, everything works as it should,
and the setup is very straight forward,
there's no need to set up port forwarding or anything for remote connection.
Just go into setting and type in the special Pin code and you can connect to it anywhere that has internet connection.
If you are like me you'd love this app.
Cheers~

I'd second this thread, I actually downloaded Emit when I had my old N1 when the program was first released, and it worked well then.
I had an issue with the Market telling me that my SGS2 was incompatible with it, and contacted the dev. He was pretty up front in telling me that it was difficult to get in touch with Google, but he still had the problem resolved within 48 - 72 hours or so, and I was back up and running.
Cons? Access it from the net is spotty. I haven't got it to work at all.
Pros? Everything. One click pre-encode and copy to device is one of the best though. Streaming with on the fly transcoding is smooth, and works well.

Yes you are right
I spoke to soon
The remote connection only worked that first time
Sigh. Everything else tho awesome app

I'm sorry

You just have to open up the two ports in tcp and udp
If you have a Linksys router like mine
Go to tab gaming and application
Name the connection emit
Port from 2000-2006 choose udp
Then type in your local IP
Go to thenext one. Again name it emit
Port 1554 to 1554
Choose tcp then again type in your local IP
Save and there you go*
Go to your setting in the emit see er on your computer
At the place you see your pin click on test connection
It should say successful now
If not read the error and see whichport you have to manually open
Hope this helps

Adhoc and pass thru VPN networks...

Just bring this down in to the transformer thread for those tha might be in the need of certain
hopthewall type situations..
There is a need for good Android VPN situations for those that work around the globe in spots
that dont allow access like back home in our normal environments.
Thus it makes it necessary that we have a range of options open for use.
I tinker with the Android VPN pptp and L2TP settings consistantly over a range of networks throughout
a rather big red country (not to name names as they have an army of monitors going through threads like these so key words bring it to thier attention).
if in need.. use your Google skills.. and set up a VPN network on your laptop..
then adhoc through it on your devices..
Check this thread out..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15486636
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-554852.html
also remember if you are having problems connecting, you might need to direct i.p settings for the gateways.
keep an eye on this project too.. I havent had much luck with getting it going but that not to say
it isn't going to get better in future releases. . you can get it in the market search for Tor
https://bridges.torproject.org/
another one..
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.sshtunnel&feature=related_apps
Note if you are behind the GCFW your phone wont be able to download these as they are blocking certain apps from the market..
I cant update any like facebook, youtube via the market without using a VPN proxy.
K as a note, dont ask me for i.p addresses and dont publish them if you get them going..
its a running battle to keep the good ones open, putting them out into public forums is a no no..
on a more postive note..
using this setup today, I was able to sit and watch a swag of youtube videos out to the TV using
my phone and Tab as the control via the new Google youtube remote..
great little program..

[Q] sharing your game stream PC for others?

Would love to help you out, however when connecting gamestream the PC asks for a password which is displayed on the device. Therefore it is not possible to simply give you access. It does work well on my connection though

I understand that your intentions may be pure, but this poses a large security risk.
I just want to make that clear, letting someone access your computer through their Shield can be potentially very dangerous.
Of course the user at the PC still has control, (just as much as the shield user) and you can turn your computer off if you had to.
A hacker could seize your system very quickly with a pre-formulated browser based attack.
It's just a very real heads up, play safe. :good:

Good advice..
I certainly wouldn't post my details on a public forum and I would make sure that there was nothing confidential on it and that it was isolated from the rest of my network (e.g. on a seperate vLAN) before I even considered it!

Thank you so much for your feedback

download onlive if you want to stream games....

I thought it might be helpful sharing my streaming experience so far.
From Home
I have a 60Mb download / 15Mb upload to the internet on TalkTalk UK and I live in Yorkshire.
Local streaming / Gamestream
2.4GHz channel bonded medium to good wireless connection - Pretty much perfect with only slight glitching on occasion.No lag
5GHz low to medium connection - Also pretty good, but dropouts and glitching more frequent. No lag
Onlive
Glitchy no matter what the connection, feels like around 20fps. Lag is noticeable, but fine for most games unless exceptionally quick reaction or immediate response is required.
Grid Beta
Smooth running, but lag is very poor. Feels like half a second passes between moving the controller and the game responding.
From Work
80Mb download / 20Mb upload. Good wireless N 2.4GHz connection to Draytek router. ~15 miles from home. BT Infinity.
Gamestream to home PC
Some issues with the firewall cutting the game off though resolved by adjusting settings on the router. Very, very good (better than local gamestream in most cases!)
Onlive and Grid Beta
Same as from home.
From my parents house
30Mb download / 6Mb upload. Reasonable Wireless N 2.4GHz connection. TalkTalk. 25 miles from home.
Gamestream to home PC
Very good. Few stutters here and there, but nothing I can't live with.
Onlive
Not yet tested
Grid Beta
Same issues with lag making everything unplayable.

Could i ask how you got the remote gamestream working, as i have yet to achieve it. I have even tried using a VPN to work from my PC at Home without success (using its VPN ip address and i can access files & folders).
Port forwarding and DMZ have both been used to no avail. Pity the shield has no connection event log.

The grid servers are in California so keep the ping in mind and that would be just as relevant as the Up/Down speeds.

I've got it working. It's smooth as silk for me, but I've got google fiber. Make sure your ISPs don't block ports 7 and 9; a lot do.

Well I checked my IP, theirs lots of Ports Open, 7 & 9 don't seem to be among them though. I'll double check to see if BT block any ports (annoying if they do) If i recall, isn't port 7&9 just for Wake on Lan?

yup, 9 is WOL, and 7 is for ICMP. I think an ICMP response is required. I'll try messing around with it and see if that's the case.

Adfoc. Us spam

You could try downloading an AV program off of Google Play Store, but you may have to factory reset.

You are not infected, but your router is. DNS is changed, go into router settings and put manual DNS from Google

I work in a isp company and yes it's a router. zte and tplink routers have more or less widely open wan access, either from web, cwmp or SNMP, so merely changing web access pass does not help some script kiddie plays with range of IP addresses and you have adfoc site on every computer, phone, etc

What does working for a isp company have to do with anything ?
adfoc.us is nothing more than 'bundling' malware not a virus (to be technical a redirect virus) that highjacks DNS and hosts files on windows machines also adds other malware hence it's called 'bundling'.
Its real name is adfocus.us browser hijacker, it's distributed by hook
A Hook is programmed as DLL file that it is capable to block the message of solicitation to a desirable site and achieve redirection, then a cyber criminals may use Windows Socket Layer Service Provider associated with SPI to get user’s transmitting data no matter you are using Firefox, IE or Chrome
If you have a "wide open" type of router, you shouldn't be using a computer or phone period
Been removing rootkits, virus, malware off of windows machines for many years, don't need a isp worker to tell me it's a router

Well, ISP worker tells you, from first hand experience that some Chinese routers can be manipulated regardless of web password and DNS can be changed.
That means ISP worker has seen DNS changed from our DNS to some address in Germany. And wide open router is something most users know nothing about especially regarding cwmp protocol.
And we have reports from our customers that every network device opens adfoc.us it's not really rocket science is it ? And windows is crap we get that but I'm somewhat sure my version is the correct one, especially because adfoc.us tried to install some apk file (see original post) Not sure if apk files work with windows

And I'm talking exactly about this (ZTE, and TPLINK). And you must know that almost all xDSL routers given to customers by large(r) ISPs have custom firmwares (because of ACS configurations, port mapping, etc) so the potential for unintended WAN access is huge. And the ISPs always will buy the cheapest and fastest available router, so it's not surprising at all.

I am not opposed to the idea, its not new, but, first of all, this article is just about a year old, and new firmware has been out since then, have the users switched to the new firmware, who knows, 98% of windows people are point & click, that is the biggest problem, especially using android.
Second, like I said earlier, and what the article says also, remote admin should be disabled and change the default username and password, here in the states, dsl kinda faded out 10 years ago and those routers you list aren't common here, not saying this can't happen, but, OTOH a little common sense goes a long way.
Javascript is a popular way to get infected from websites, running things as noscript, ghost, etc, should help out a lot, there is a lot you can do to prevent this stuff from happening, most people are clueless or lazy or click happy.
Another way to help is to get rid of windows (every operating system can be hacked) (flame) but others are more secure by design, or for banking needs use a live linux cd/usb stick, 99% of people won't bother or even research the idea.
I look at this as pebak, and not knowing enough of the internet or their equipment and just clicking on anything, hence the point & click.
I run a few servers, none are windows, we do have windows clients. I try my best

Possibly. Unless it is Android only malware or affects your computer differently. If you have any lesser known apps installed try removing them. I would honestly suggest a factory reset.

Hi,
Its definetely the wi-fi rooter that i have w hich is TP Link.
I called my proveder they said there is a problem with the DNS. They reset my rooter online and it was fine for couple of days.
But now same thing happens. On both my wife and mine mobile phones surfing is impossible.
It automatically swithches the link to a porn site. Same thing happens as a pop up on my PC as well.
Any solution to fix this or I should get a more expensive rooter?
Thanks a lot.

Have you tried malwarebytes on your pc's?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app

I would recommend the following:
1) Hard reset all your devices. Back up your data but then completely wipe the phone (/sdcard as well).
2) Disconnect your PCs. If you are savvy enough I would recommend running a Linux distro for a few days (so you can at least still use the computer).
3) Get a CD (not usb stick due to writableness) and download several AV tools (quick Google will yield some results). Take the PC offline (unplug ethernet/disable wifi), put the CD in, run a few scans and get it cleaned out.
4) Manually take your router and disable DHCP/DNS interally, forward your DHCP requests if you decide to keep DHCP on to a known good DNS server like 8.8.8.8.
5) Ideally, swap the router out for a new one or use your own instead of #4.
Something is causing it.
