Does it exsist?
(P.S not a remote torrent client, not something I can control utorrent with my phone, i already have this)
What would you download?
I don't know, but I just wonder what you would download to your phone with your torrent client? Films?
i have 5gb data phome plan...
No problem
Ok, I don't doubt that you have the ability and the necessary data plan to download huge things to your phone, but the question remains: What will you download directly to your phone that is so big that Torrents make sense?
Maybe the fact that until now there seem to be no BitTorrent clients downloading to the phone itself wants to tell us something? Maybe it tells us that there is some consensus that downloading huge things directly to a phone only very few people want to do?
Technically I see no problem to implement a client, that probably can't be the problem.
While I would assume that a torrent client is not entirely impossible, I can't see how it would be usefull in any way.
Plus, even if you managed to find/code a torrent client, it would only have access to its own isolated storage, to which other apps do not have access. You'd be dowloading files you can not access, really.
Writing the network code for a torrent client would probably be possible under the official APIs, though I'm not familiar enough with the protocol to say for sure. It's absolutely possible with the unofficial APIs, but that's then homebrew-only, not allowed in the Marketplace (requires calling native code).
Associating the app with .torrent file extension is possible, but only if you can edit the registry (requires interop-lock or above, for pretty much all phones except the LGs). That's definitley not going to be in the Marketplace, and won't work on phones that just have a basic dev-unlock either.
I'm not opposed to the idea from a theoretical perspective, but I too must ask what you'd use this for...
I think it would be nice to have a torrent app... But it would probably take along time to develop.

Hi!
Is there a way that Apache + mysql + php could run on Windows Mobile?
I've searched the forums but I haven't found anything useful.
Thanks.
Not that I've seen. Care to enlighten us with a possible reason you need a webserver in a phone ?
Well... it would be useful in some scenarios
Id put 50euro in for someone to get them working. Means a lot of my Web Apps could work off like and then I just have sync page to save on roaming chargess.
maybe something like this,
but it only support SQLite3 and a subset of all php functions.

I remember way back being able to run apache at least.

Do folks really need a reason why?
I think the answer is, 'cause it would be cool!
Having the ability to test database queries

How are you going to access the applications deployed on the web server in your phone? I dont think there is a way to get static IP for phones. This is a strange thread.
I was thinking something like bluetooth PAN, Celio Redfly or the phone itself.
But also I am thinking the wiki should be mirrored on the web so that the access to the wiki is not dependent on the 3G connexion. Seems to be doable with mysql, at least from the phone mysql db to the webserver mysql db. I guess I'd need sthg to mirror data from the webserver to the phone, maybe OpenVPN or sthg else with mysql I don't know ...

Hi,
Not sure if anyone is working on a VPN client for Android, but I think this is something a lot of people would find useful. Not sure if it is even possible to do solely from the app layer, but for folks who have rooted phones, I would think that if you can run a VPN client on linux, you should be able to run one on Android, no?
Has there been any work on this? Any thoughts on this?
Thanks
I'd love to see one. I'd be able to use it for work which would be awesome.
OpenVPN already exists
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=447230&highlight=openvpn
but that is not userspace. The problem with userspace applications is that without root there is no way to add the proper routes to force traffic over the vpn.
Of course, with root you could probably write a graphical frontend to something like OpenVPN.
Geezzzz guys this is the last thing I needed. If my employer catches wind that I can run openvpn from my phone and connect in to the office network; I will never ever get any me time outside of the office. Its nice being able to claim that I am not able to find a internet connection to help do x,y,z or troubleshoot why idiot A cannot send email to idiot B.
I see that there's been a little development here:
There's a commercial product (http://mocana.com/NanoPhone-Android.html) and there's an open-source project (http://code.google.com/p/android-vpnc/), but that one sounds a little scary.
I do have a rooted phone (RC33/JF1.41). I'm wondering if someone could simply compile vpnc and the necessary libraries for the G1. Is it more complicated than that?
So how hard would it be to get vpn setup via openvpn on a rooted phone? (for someone who's not a dev, but isn't afraid to tinker)
Hey guys, Does anyone know if there's any decent FREE apps for the android that i can use for remote assistance? i work in IT and this would be very useful to me but im not willing to fork out cash just yet.
I know you can use VNC but this means installing software on client machines and setting that software upm which is no use to me.
thanks in advance guys
I have tried most and there are no good free RDC clients. (I started to write one myself but it was not very fun so I abandoned it.)
I would suggest biting the bullet and buying xtralogic's Remote Desktop client. At $19.95 it is the most expensive option but the controls on it are the best IMHO.
If you want cheaper ($7.98) there is Remote RDP by Walter Yongtao Wang but i find the controls are not as intuitive.
I know you said you do not want to fork out cash yet but the reality is if you want a good RDC client then for now you are going to have to pay for it. In the grand scheme of things $20 is a minor investment for the aggravation saved.
PhoneMyPC is the best one I've tried and I've played with almost all of them. Multitouch zooming makes it closest to what logmein ignition is on the iPhone. I think until logmein comes out with an Android app, it's the best bet even though it costs a few dollars.
yeah , i also use PhoneMyPC , works great , no problems
I have to agree. PhoneMyPC is extremely (surprizingly) fast and worked better than the RDP or VNC solutions from my testing.
I was very skeptical that it could perform well, but... call me a believer now.
Thanks for the answers guys, I'll try PhoneMyPc out first.
One more question, I would also like to Wake computers via LAN, Do these software's have the ability to send the "magic" WOL packets to wake a system up?
This is another feature i would find extremely useful.
Clearly my brain was not working last night. I misread what you were asking for. PhoneMyPC is nice but requires a client install.
If your goal is end client support and you do not want to require them to install an application you might consider UltraVNC single click for the client ( http://www.uvnc.com/addons/singleclick.html )+ a VNC viewer on android. While it will not perform as well as PhoneMyPC it has the benefit of being a zero foot print solution and works well in situations where the client may not want/be able to install applications on their system. I keep a build on my website and if a situation pops up that requires me to access the end user's machine have them download and run it.
Your request for WOL is a bit confusing though, which implies you are not going for end user support. What are you looking for:
- a solution to connect to your personal machine running in the same subnet as your phone
- a solution to connect to your personal machine from wherever you may be at
- a solution to connect to remote end users machines with a pre-installed application
- a solution to connect to remote end users machines without a pre-installed application
- something else.
WOL can be triggered remotely (with preparation) but regardless requires the machine to be set up properly and that you know the MAC address in advance, not likely in a remote end user scenario.
Does anyone know where can I get the PhoneMyPC installation file for the phone? I couldn't find any download link on their site.
On the market. search for "phonemypc". It is a commercial app (9.99 USD) so that is pretty much your only way to get it.
Trust me on this one, go with Remote Desktop Client from xtralogic.. I've been using it for nearly a year.. its the best RDP you will find, no client install needed.
PhoneMyPC is the BEST!
Wait... we're biased ;-)
I suspect the user base here is savvy enough to know much of this, but a few details for anybody who's interested.
PhoneMyPC uses a technology similar to VNC, but it's custom and generally performs better. It is a bandwidth-limited approach to remoting, and we chose this because (a) we wanted something that made no compromises on visual quality (no missing desktop wallpapers, no changed settings, no missing themes), and we see the trend in available bandwidth going steadily up for the forseeable future. This makes PhoneMyPC a good option for remote video, for example, because it is optimized for pictoral data rather than vector data.
RDP, on the other hand, is optimized for vector data, so typically consumed less bandwidth than PhoneMyPC, but much more CPU resources. It also has the advantage that it is built in to all Professional and Server Windows versions.
The biggest difference between the two however is how they handle the network. With RDP you must know and configure your IP, and you must update it when it changes (or use a DynDNS type solution). You must also know how to configure your router and other security mechanisms for port forwarding.
PhoneMyPC just works, because it uses our servers as a connection point between your phone and PC(s). You don't need to know your IP, or worry if it changes, becuase the PC will actually tell the phone what it's IP is every time you connect. You can use port forwarding to get a better, direct connection, but it is not required for the software to work.
Finally, RDP is a long-lasting, well established (and more or less un-changing) technology; that is an advantage from some perspectives. But if you compare what users are saying PhoneMyPC is at least as good, and it's new, still growing, always getting better, and we're not even close to done yet. That too is an advantage from some perspectives.

Makers of PhoneMyPC
I've bought all of them, and I could never get Phone My PC to connect. RDC by xtralogic, Remote VNC Pro Android VNC work great (used with TightVNC).
EDIT: Any suggestions Softwareforme? Also constant f/c's when connected via wifi on N1.
I'm looking for an eWallet app, like Ilium Software's eWallet for PPC, which runs both Desktop (WinDOS and/or Linux) and Android PDA.

This looks good: Splash-ID. Has a desktop client as well. I don't use it so I can't say much else about it.
I personally use B-Folders which is a Free app and works great for me.
Security
I am a little suspicious about installing and using certain apps. Many state that they have full access to the phone and internet, meaning they can send all of my personal information elsewhere...and in an e-wallet application, that can be devastating. A goldmine for ID theft criminals... learn some code, and write an e-wallet application. Make it free and watch the information roll right in!
Can b-wallet be trusted? They are based in Spain and Bulgaria. Not much information out there about them.
Splash ID looks great and legit, but $30 is a ridiculous price for this software. $10 maybe for both desktop and phone.
Like the other guy said, B-folders does the exact same thing Splash ID does, and it's free, they are asking way too much money for that app
Have you considered KeePass?
Open source, no internet access (internet access not requested in the manifest upon install) & has an open source desktop counterpart too!
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-android-keepass-qtw.aspx
I was a long time eWallet user and contacted them recently because they don't have Android or WebOS clients. They said that they have no plans to create anything at this time for other platforms.
Seems like they are not doing well these days. I looked at Splash ID and while it seems okay, they way they license desktop software is insane and I hear that databases are not compatible with other version of their software so if you get a new phone you'd be out of luck.
I am now using CallPod's Keeper. It is very simplistic which I hate but it works with most major phones and desktops (PC & Mac, etc) I run it on my iPhone and Android.
Having used eWallet for a long time, on all platforms (pc, iphone, winmo), I hope they make ewallet for android soon.
Otherwise I have to find a new password program as well...
If enough people mail them, they must sooner or later make an android version
Otherwise I recommend lastpass(.com). Not ecsactly the same as ewallet, but really good. However, it requires internet access...
I am actually hoping for SPB Wallet to made for Android. SPB did announce Mobile Shell for Android so I am hoping they are gonna port more of their software library over as well.
I've been hassling Illium for ages about this, they don't seem interested in the slightest
**EDIT** Hang on, Splash actually charge you more if you buy the desktop and phone client together than if you buy them seperate! How does that work!?!?!
+1 for KeePass.
It is OPEN SOURCE and it does not require internet connection.
And it has desktop app as well, which is good.
For this kind of app which we use to store "sensitive information", I cant easily trust any closed source app.
That's why I am heading to KeePass when I got my Android device (ordered).

Well your wish was partially granted eWallet Viewer.
You can sync with your windows PC and view on your Android, but you cannot add or edit.
awesome, at last..
Now hopefully they do a full version also.. I see a lot of WM6.x users switching to Android at the moment...
double post
Woo hoo!!!!
Finally!
Viewer is good enough for me. It sync's to the desktop too (I've even paid for an upgrade to v7 so this works )
I would like to introduce keywords like AES or encryption on this post. I have been looking on and off for days for an encryption package for Android and pretty much drew a blank, with a couple of notable exceptions. It was only through trying to find out more information about JointLogic (makers of B-Folders) that I stumbled upon this very useful discussion. I also deeply distrust the anonymity of these vendors. I am deeply sorry if I offend them, but these days we are used to look a gift horse in the mouth. JointLogic is trying to make us suspicious of Google with backdoors in their engine, yet we are supposed to trust an anonymous company in who knows where?
I read somewhere that an android version of Ascendo Data Vault could be out sometime soon. Anyone know if there is any truth to that?

Hi guys,
I´ve got one question, is it possible to create file transfer on wifi? I want create wifi network something like family group in Windows 7. And if its possible do this betwen WP and android phone or WP and windows 7 PC.
Thanks a lot.
No, not possible; but you can try DFT Bluetooth file transfer if you have a fully unlocked or rooted phone and see if that works. Currently there is no way of doing what you are asking via email, MMS or Wifi.
It doesn´t working via e-mail too ?
Root Webserver (see my sig) allows easily taking files off (or putting them on) a Windows phone via WiFi. It's not the most elegant approach, but it's easy to use.
There has been talk of somebody implementing SMB (the network protocol that is used for Windows networking) using the sockets APIs in WP7, but I'm not even sure the official APIs are complete enough and even if they are, it'll be quite a bit of work to implement (the SAMBA project has been trying on Linux for years, and is only mostly there).
I'm quite certain it's possible to attach arbitrary files to email, but nobody has found the way *yet* so that's not currently possible. Also, the email client isn't going to let you save attachments to arbitrary locations, because it's designed to work with the very low permissions of the OS by default.
