[Q] Android Remote Statistics App - General Questions and Answers

Hey guys,
Forgive me if this is not the proper forum location to post this.
I have a question about an android system information app. My company is looking at using a very locked down smartphone in the retail stores as a SIP phone over WiFi. Essentially these phones would only be good for wifi calling through our network. I have been able to lock the phone down pretty good but I am having a little bit of trouble finding an app that will monitor the phone and report statistics back to us (through a web browser or email). Basically we would need to remotely check the usage/stats but we don't really want to use something like airdroid or teamviewer as this would disrupt the users usage. Any ideas on a good app? I haven't been able to find anything and I know you guys are digital wizards..
Thanks in advance guys!

Just being the devils advocate here..
How does the application attain the end objective? A person would need this app the most at a time when their phone is not able to connect to the internet due to an APN issue. At such a time how will the user connect to the market to download this app?
Latching to a WiFi connection is not possible at all times.
I recommend that you release the app's apk that the user can download and keep handy.
Hi delltech
Good point. However everyone downloading the app has access to wifi - they can access the Android Market.. therefor the use-case has been designed around this premise. This enables us to constantly update the database that the application uses.
We are thinking about other setups and value this feedback!!
Alternative distribution channel, apart from Market, can also be included at a later stage.
Any more feedback on the functioning of the app, delltech. others?
Best regards

Although the app is located in the market, on my current phone, the Motorola Photon 4G world phone, the market refuses to let me pay for and download the app. Is there a way to request a certain Photon be added to your list of models so that the market recognize the phone.
Thanks

[Q] Control Android phone over 3G network(non wifi)

Hi,
I'm looking forward to an answer to this as I don't seem to find anything relative anywhere. Is it possible to connect a droid over a 3G network(not wifi) from a remote location(A computer). We are actually trying to develop a project where a android phone(xperia ray) will be mounted on a bot and will be controlled by DTMF and video feed will be sent via 3G video call. We want to implement a few more functions and hence we are looking forward to establish a remote session via a computer. I don't know what logic to be used to code, or if there is any existing solution to this. Need a few thoughts. Also need to send the sensor data remotely to the controller droid phone or computer. Help of any kind would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Yes its possible, but your questions are too broad to answer.
There are various ways you could implement it, be it ssh sessions, websites or more.
Get more familiar with writting apps and ask something specific, we can't do your work for you, you have to do some research yourself .

Hi thanks for the reply Sure. Ofcourse we don't expect anyone to write codes for us. Which method would you suggest , which will be easy to implement coding/learning wise? I'm good at websites with php
Thanks.
One site that I've found that can do anything with the phone over 3g, is webkey. I don't know if it's what you're looking for, but it seems like it may be.

[Q] Questions on developing android app.

Just got an android project from supervisor and I have only 2 weeks to go to show him all the basic functions of the project, and I'm new to all these thing.
The idea of the project is to get peoples connected to each other without using internet connection, which meaning that we create and connect by our own network like LAN, and maybe others.
We need a database to store data like pictures and chat logs too.
So, my questions will be what kind of database/server we use for android application to store data ? and any ideas on create a own local area network or any kind of other network to get peoples who use the application connected ?
You should look into how companies have created social networking over text messaging infrastructures

Sounds like you are probably going to get fired... How is it you have a job where you would be expected to do this.. but have no clue how to do it. 2 weeks is not long enough for you to "learn" android to do what you need to do. Id tell him now that you are cluless and need help otherwise , in 2 weeks when your project is due, he is going to be pretty dissapointed in your performance.
Better to admit you are a Dillard than try to cover it up.

Ops sorry my bad, I'm actually still a student , just that one of the lecturer assigned to be my supervisor and gave me one project before I graduate. Every students must finish a project before they graduate.
The program might not be perfect but at least it must be functioning.
I did some research and now I have some basic idea on developing android app.
Now I'll need any of you to guide me a little bit, about the database that will be used for android.
Example like creating a Registration interface, allow users to register but without internet connection, meaning that we use LAN or any other kind of connection.
Meaning that we create our own connection and get the users connected together.

Privacy Ace App: Is it any good?

Hello Friends,
My name is Ivaylo and I am new to the forum. I decided to make a registration, because I wanted to ask for some help from you guys. For the past few weeks, I have been looking for an app that can help me protect my personal information (Facebook, Phone gallery, Call logs, etc.) on my smartphone (currently using Samsung Galaxy S5). I have tried quite a few free apps from Google Play such as AppLock, Smart AppLock and the like. Among those, I came across this app called Privacy Ace. To be honest, I liked the design and interface of Privacy Ace. Both very pretty simple and user friendly. On the other hand the other apps I tried (i.e. Smart AppLock) offer more features (i.e. 'Observer' feature; if someone tries to access your phone and enters the wrong password a few times, the app takes a picture of that person and later on you can see who has tried to break into your phone). However Smart AppLock, for example, has kind of a clustered interface. It was really difficult for me to find out how to use the various features of the app. I really got frustrated while trying to figure out how to use it. I am not the most intelligent person, but I know how to use smartphones, if you know what I mean. Still I am looking for something that is simple to use and can get the job done.
So my question basically is: has anyone else tried Privacy Ace and is it any good? How is the app performance-wise? Should I give it a try? Feel free to suggest other apps of the same type too.
Thanks for the help in advance
Cheers
Ivaylo

There's probably a better way to educate your child to be safe and responsible on the internet than to spy on him/her without his/her knowledge. He/she has a right to privacy. I'm sure you wouldn't like it if someone constantly spied on you without your knowledge. And your child wouldn't like it either.
i understand the message but its a need for specific purpose
I could be wrong, but I doubt any of the dev's here would do anything like this. There are far too many risks associated with supporting such a request.
