[Q] using phone and TF as a video monitoring system

Is there an app that will allow you to place your phone somewhere and use your TF as a monitor in real time (seeing what the phone's camera sees?

There are plenty of ip webcam apps in the market.

Thank you both very much....I'll check them all out....

Who are you creeping on?

Lol...no creeping...just messing around with my new TF....

I've done this using ipwebcam (from market) running on my nexus one and tiny cam monitor (from market) running on my tf. Works great and quality is pretty decent. I used it to spy on my dog.

That IP Webcam app is decent. Been trying to use it to remotely monitor some newborn puppies. I prefer to just put a password up and use the TF's web browser to view in javascript.
I'd like a way to prolong my phones battery though. The phone gets too hot when plugged in via charger. I tried selecting the option to allow it to switch off the screen, as that gobbles a lot of power. Unfortunately this stops it broadcasting. I have my phone so it keeps the wifi on when the screen is off, but cant find out whether its switching off the camera, the cpu, or what its doing when the screen goes off.
Anyone know of an app to keep things alive when the screen is off please?

lol - we all thought it but you said it.

Well,
Ipwebcam and tiny cam monitor didn't work because I'm at work and I think that there is a problem with the ips or ports or something...it hung on "camera loading."

LOL! What did you find out?

I have a linksys web cam that allows me to view on a dyndns site. It's all black in the cam box. It does require activex installation so I don't know if that is the issue with TF browser and if it's possible at all to have add-on.

[Q] Use the G2x as a wifi usb adapter

I was wondering If it was possible to use the g2x as a wifi adapter. What I would like to do is maybe have a App that allows you to connect to your home wifi and then share it to your PC through USB connection.

If only it was that simple. In a sense yes that's what I'm talking about. But I'm not trying to share my 4g connection. I want to use it to share the internet from my "home wifi router" the wireless adapter in my PC went out and I don't really have the money to spend for a new one this close to x-mas.

I'll sell you a USB one I used to use with my TiVo for $10 (b/g I believe), just PM me.

Turn data off to make sure its not using your 4G connection, then just tether it connected to wifi and it should work. I've done it before numerous times.

That sounds like a decent solution. Haven't thought about that, do you have a recommendation on a good tether App that doesn't need a whole bunch of UN necessary work.

Settings app perhaps? USB tethering is just above wifi tether. I've done this many times.

tahahawa is right it is built in to the android software you dont need anything extra. All you need to do is connect to wifi like normal whatever network you want to use then shut off your data connection if you want to be safe but it is not nessesary. Then connect to the pc via USB and check the tethering box in settings and then you are done. No need for any other apps or anything else.

try out pdanet its a pretty usefull app theres a pc client u need to install and congifure as well but its really easy...probably best app out there for this...also not sure if u r running the miui.us rom or not but it has a built in tethering client

Its built in to our G2x's. Just make sure you have the LG drivers installed on your computer and then check USB tethering in Settings and everything should be golden!

I don't know what the deal is with the stock App but it just doesn't want to work with my computer. Wifi hot spot works fine but the USB tether wont. I have all the drivers for the phone as far as I know. Had to instal a bunch when I rooted the phone.

Thanks a lot that App did the trick and I like the built in text feature on the PC client.

Best webcam app?

I'm using Droidcam right now, and my infuse gets really hot, and battery drains even though its plugged in through USB. Any suggestions for alternatives?

Have you thought about trying skype?

Use reverse tether tool google it or search in xda. For getting it to work with apps, turn on ur 3g connection before starting the tool.

Actually, that's what i thought too, but no, it does not, i checked and my cash did not decrease and my speakers didnt do this weird sound u get when data is active. Also it worked for other people too, so i guess its ok to say that its safe to use.

Tell me some good uses of a Xperia L without network connectivity

So you guessed it right from the title, my Xperia L doesn't have network connectivity or a very weak one thanks to an idiot local mechanic who f*cked it up trying to fix lose USB port. Now I am not even getting deals for this phone as no other mechanic is able to fix this thing.
So I want to know some good uses I can make out of this phone other than my kernel development!
Using it to play songs through AUX cable is one use I found but would like to know what you guys think.

eBay. Or download the manual for it and fix it.

Use it as a camera. Because it can be a really good one if you get the settings right.

any accessories for Xperia L that allow to output the screen to TV via USB port?
make it become an Android TV box

if the wifi works good maybe you can attach a hard drive via otg (with a powered hub how-to) and use as dlna server

The title says ,,Tell me some good uses of a Xperia L without network connectivity,,......

So WiFi still works? , or is it both 3G & WiFi? If the WiFi still works and you have a Chromecast, use it as a remote for Youtube/Netflix/HBOGO playback on Chromecast.

Wait for Flipkart Exchange offer and Exchange it.
You will get atleast 4k ~5k

I think you went to a Butcher rather than a mechanic!
Anyway, it's a long shot, but have you tried dismantling the phone yourself? what may have happened is that the antenna might have come loose i.e the contact to the cable or the cable itself. if you can stablise it or repair the contact, it may give you full connectivity again!
