Remote access - Thunderbolt General

Is there a way to control your PC from your phone remotely? So like I can manage downloads while at work and whatnot?

Here's what I do for remote access:
- Download and install VNC software for your computer. I use Tight VNC. Make sure you use a password for incoming connections!
- Forward ports 5800 and 5900 to the PC you want to control. This is done in your router. You'll need to know the local IP of your computer. You can google this if you don't know how. It should be something like 192.168.1.100
- Download a VNC viewer from the market. I use Real VNC viewer. It's expensive, so I'd try a few free ones first.
- Find your public IP address. You can find this in your router or google "Whats my IP". There are lots of websites that will show you what your IP is.
- Fire up that VNC app on your phone, enter your public IP and the password you set and you should see your desktop.
A few notes:
- You can set a static IP for your local computer. Chances are this will not change too often.
- Your ISP will change your public IP every so often. You can pay for a static IP that does not change, but I do not. Mine changes every six months or so.
That's about it. Good luck!

There are alot if apps for that, but the one I used didn't work out so well.

phonemypc is the easiest to use that I have found.
Install on your pc and setup your own login and password. Install app on your phone and enter that same login and password.
You can control multiple pcs and you don't have to mess with any ports or pc settings to get it to work.

I will second phonemypc. Have used it for over a year now, very nice.
Story once was my wife couldn't get teh mouse to work on the desktop and needed to print something. She called me, I brought it up on my phone and printed it for her. just one time I really needed it.

Teamviewer is my favorite

Whoosh webcam! easily watch your webcam in your XDA

You just need to download the server and the client from their website and choose an user name and password. If you have a webcam and your device has access to internet through a data plan or wifi you will be able to watch your plants when you are not at home...
No IP, no domains, nothing! just this name and pass.
You will be able to add other cams from friends if they give you access, and you can have a 2 way conversation with pc and xda.
I have tested it on my prophet and it rocks! image is great and refresh is quite good. There is also a sensibility add to use your webcam as security cam.
That simple and for free
REspecTo!

Recommended App: Droid VNC Server

Stumbled on it while searching for the opposite, a VNC viewer. Works great. Lets you control your android from any computer using either a VPN client or from a browser. The app provides both a VNC IP address and a url to visit if you just want to use a browser
I've tried another product that was like MyMobiler (windows only) and it was ok but you couldn't interact with the phone.
Droid VNC server is an actual vnc server, what else is there to say. Very happy with this free app. And this is just a recommendation, I'm not affiliated with the dev or anything.
Wishlist for the app:
• I wish I could trigger teh server to start with a passphrase in a text message.
• Wish I could SHARE the IP address in a press or two so I could email or sms it to somebody so they dont have to type it in. I also can't copy it, that would be second best. (well I can copy it using CopyPasteIt but unless you have that app you can't)
I cant get it to work

You could setup Tasker to handle this.
I stumbled on WebKey that seems to do the same thing as this. Cool and free app, but you have to be rooted... but who's not. lol

Best Password Manager App??

Any suggestions? Would like something that I can use both on my phone and on my computer that will sync together easily.
I came across KeePass and SplashId. Anyone have any experience with either of these? Or any other option for that matter?
thanks
I don't know about those, but I've been using LastPass ever since I found out about it. I love it and don't see a reason to ever change. It has computer-browser addons for all browsers (at least the main ones i.e. Chrome, FireFox, IE, Safari, probably Oprah too). And it automatically syncs with your online account.
I'm using keepassDroid and keepassx, synced via Dropbox. Note that you need keepass[x] V 1.x on the PC for full compatibility. Syncs easily between Android, Windows and Linux.
Definitely LastPass:
it stores all data remotely, so you don't have to sync between devices
it has WWW interface, so you could access your passwords even on a PC without LastPast installed
it has application for Android
it has plugins for many desktop browsers and for Dolphin Browser for Android. These plugins are awesome - they auto-fill forms or even auto login you, they detect registration forms and ask you to generate and fill password automatically, then save your new site, etc.
It's free to use on a PC, but if you want to use it on Android, then you have to pay 1$/month.
Keepassdroid

I would stick to keepassdroid and dropbox. Keepassdroid is open source and available for nearly every platform. I use it for more then 10 years now on different platforms and never had problems. Import and Export is available too, in case you need data migration, which is real problem for some other apps which lock you in...

That's about right, I also use keepass combined with Dropbox.
Im also using keepass in conjunction with dropbox (encrypted with truecrypt).
I'm was wondering if any of you who are using online password keepers ever wonder who can access your personal data when storing it online. I would be sceptical to this....

Another vote for Keepass and Dropbox.
I use it on 2 computers (Windows XP and Windows 7), an Android phone, and an Android tablet.

And you store your personal data on a Dropbox, so online - right?
I use LastPass and I really like it. It encrypts/decrypts data on a client side, so 3th party doesn't have access to it. Actually this is exactly the same as Keepass + Dropbox solution, but fully automatic, with browser access, etc. I was using Keepass previously, but LastPass is much, much better.
I use Password Safe
I use SplashID.
My favorite AndroXplorer v.3
I use SplashId, it works just fine for me.
On Android I use KeePass with DropBox.
Otherwise I use LastPass.
I use Catch! Used to be calld 3banana. Best note application I have found, been using it for months now. I have it set to use a 4 digit PIN to log into the app.
It may not be your cup of tea for managing passwords, but it's how I like to manage mine.
Hope that helps!
I use one password, syncs with dropbox and is compatable with everything

I'm not sure if this is what you're interested in but I use Cryptnos.
This has been a telepathic transmission from the Outer Limits
I use keepass drop and dropbox. It is great.

I use 1Password with Dropbox sync, it also has a client for Mac and Windows
I recommend 1passwords because its awesome and they have Dropbox sync .Besides they have a pretty awesome interface

i need an app

I need and app that allows me to see web connections on phones on my network like what a certain IP"connected to my WiFi" is browsing
App that allow you to see web connection
Not only an app, you are supposed to be having a paid firewall. It is having a network flow panel which will let you know how many devices are connected with your IP address and what http packets they are accessing.
Or if you are having a client server topology, then server logs can easily tell you which user is viewing what.
Even there are free tool for checking ip address-
1) Microsoft Network Monitor
2) Nagios
3) OpenNMS
4) Advance IP Scanner
you can also try "Norton Family" when you first register you have 30 days of trial for free.
Csploit does achieve this I believe, and you can also intercept other people's browsing.Though, you should be really careful when using it and you should really know what all the functions do. I do not recommend you using it, but if it is a one time quicky then sure.

How can I isolate my android from my desktop PC and continue to use chrome on each ?

I have saved usernames and passwords for various websites on the desktop (Windows) PC, for my convenience via Google Chrome. I have several android devices (phones) which are able to access these saved passwords since they are linked together. I want to save these passwords to my PC only. And restrict some from my androids, ie. banks, brokerage houses, Amazon and pay-pal. Now, if I have mobile apps associated with these sites, I can block the passwords and usernames. But, a search via google for the website login page (by-passing the app) will display my username and password. Although the password is not visible, it's still there and allows access to my account. I'm not sure if anyone would know what to look for if my cell was lost or stolen, but it's still unnerving to think it could possibly happen. So, I am searching for a way to segregate my PC from my androids, and still be able to use Crome on all. A Google search gets me answers to all imaginable questions, except for the one I ask. Maybe, I just don't know how to form the question to where Google can understand it.
You should be able to sign out on the other devices.

Create an alternate Gmail address to use on the androids and don't use that Gmail on PC.
Or
Have you tried signing out of chrome browser on the androids and set it to not remember your username and password?
