Looking for android application - General Questions and Answers

Hi All
i'm looking for a app with which i can use one android phone to control another android phone(with screenshare and touches are transfered to the controled phone). the one which meets almost 100% of my requirements is airdroid, but it requires internet and paid version for longer usage.
is there such app which wont require internet? maybe with wifi hotspot(without internet) and connect with second phone to it? is there such alternative with bluetooth?
Thanks!

Remote Desktop via direct Wifi

Is there a program or way i can use remote desktop without having a router connect to my laptop. So using the built in wifi on the laptop to connect to my HD2.
Or even bluetooth..
Just an idea as I can't have a router here at uni.
are you trying to basically surf the web from your laptop using your HD2?
you need something like internet sharing which is available on the Device itself (its a standard Windows thing). you need to set it up though, and of course make sure your device has internet access (GPRS/whatever connection methods).
Nah not using the internet, but to view and control my pc from my phone over wifi.
gotcha. why would you wanna do that?
but anyway...dont think it is possible like that as the wireless on the laptop will not act as a DHCP (like a router does) to give an IP to clients who are connecting to it.
It would be cool though to be able to use it as a remote control to perhaps skip or play music etc. But connecting through wifi would be impossible i think.
I recall with my old old old sony ericsson phone I could connect to my computer using a bluetooth dongle and control music and even the mouse cursor...such an awesome feature. A bluetooth program for the HD2 would be good providing you have a bluetooth dongle.
funny you should mention an app like that as I developed an app a few years ago which does just that called WMP Remote.
basically, you connect it via bluetooth or wireless (as long as you get an activesync connection going, or even wireless with a router) and then get a list of files from a certain directly, play/pause/vol up/down from the Mobile application and play files in full screen and so on....
haven't updated it in a LONG time but was a big hit back then.
also developed another app called DAR~ling, which is a Digital Audio Recorder

It looks an awesome App, but does not work with WM6.5 & Windows 7 (not sure which one cause the issue).
IMHO worth some re-development and putting on Windows Market Place $$$ I'd buy.

aww, thats encouraging mate! Thanks!
not sure why it doesnt run on your devices? I ran it on my Samsung omnia which runs WM 6.1 - works fine.
I've also got a WM5 device...works fine on that. the issues are just the screen display!
I have been meaning to "start" the project again but just had no time at all. been so busy.
HELLO
T2 REMOTE TOUCH
Very nice program. I use it to do anything to my computer because I'm too lazy to get down of the bed. I use it when it was beta and the only bad thing was that he only had color mode for free
Anyway if you can manage to create a wireless network connection (AD-HOC) with designeted IP's it's going to work. I don't know about the port dough.
Anyway, I have windows XP, and I don't know very much about win7's configuration.
GOOD LUCK

[QUESTION] Bluetooth Internet Access Help

I am using ARHD ROM (with Bricked Kernel).
My car can access and read out RSS threads and has a lot of interactive media functions, including being able access the internet via my bluetooth enabled phone. But I can't seem to get it to work fully, and really don't know if it is a ROM / Kernel / Phone issue or a car issue. I just don't know enough about the various bluetooth protocols etc, and as much as I research it, I keep going around in circes.
The car will connect to the phone and work fine as a bluetooth headset for telephone calls. It will also display the caller picture without issue and will access and read out my emails (using stock sense Mail client) and SMS messages. It also seems to connect to audio OK (although I never use it as it has a USB port that will accept a pop drive, so all my music is on the dashboard).
But the internet connection doesn't seem to work. I have looked into this and can't work out if it is a PAN or DUN profile issue. Soemtimes I can get the phone to show an internet connection being available to the car, sometimes it doesn't depending on which ROM I use and I can't seem to get any to work regardless.
Looking on the website, it claims the following:
How can I configure my mobile device for internet or BMW TeleServices usage?
In the operating manual of your mobile device you will find instructions on configuring “Access Point Name (APN)”; other names for this may be “Internet Settings”, “Modem Settings” or “Tethering Settings”. The required settings are available from your service provider. Please note that most Sony Ericsson mobile devices only recognise the first entry in the APN list, so it is recommended that all other APN configurations be deleted.
Can somebody please help me with this. I really am baffled as to how to get this to work.

Bump. Anybody?

It has been a year or 2 since I got bluetooth networking going. Today I tried to get my phone to connect to my windows 7 desktop and.... it couldn't even connect sadly enough. Anyways this is from memory so it may or may not be correct. I don't like posting incorrect stuff because you never know who will read/flame.
1. pair your phone to the other device
2. connect via bluetooth your phone to the other device
3. I used the app in the link below to turn on bluetooth tether. Your kernel needs to support this feature. Just a note, there are 2 apps off the link. One is wifi only, the other does bluetooth and wifi. Assuming you get this app, turn on bluetooth tether. I don't know if you should turn tether on then connect bluetooth. Maybe it doesn't matter.
4. This step I don't quite understand. The bluetooth tether should "offer" a network service to the remote device. The remote device in turn must recognize the service and use it. DHCP is the easiest to auto configure everything. If you need a name server, use 8.8.8.8 since that is a public dns server by our google overlords.

If you're using an android phone you can set up your phone as a wifi hotspot. Settings/more/mobile network sharing. Not sure if your phone has to be rooted to do this.

Most of the time this feature is turned off by your carrier. You usually have to pay extra. But try wifi tether, barnacle from Google play there are some like pda that do not require root . good luck
Nice and easy to share celluar internet with your tablet. If you can't on your original, there is a few apps to help out with that on the play store. I perfer to use bluetooth to share the data, since it uses less battery power.
If you can't buy a Wifi/Bluetooth tethering app on your phone, you probably can on your tablet, and use a root file explorer to transfer the file from your tablet and install it on your phone. Just don't share that file with anyone else. You'll need to have your google play account on both devices, but it does work. Most Bluetooth tethering apps this way require a client and server, and don't work quite so well.
The second way you can go about it is more complex if your Celluar carrier has tethering turned off. Flash a non-tethering-blocked rom onto your phone (CyanogenMod works) and then just use the built in tethering. Bluetooth tethering this way works wonderfully.
And for both methods, might look into Tasker - an automation utility that can help set up connections when conditions are met.
But that is roughly your two options if your carrier has tethering blocked. Find an App or Flash your phone.
Good luck

I don't know if TeamViewer QuickSupport is that app you're looking for but it can do exactly what you want. But it only works with official Stock ROMs on Samsung devices.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm looking for an app that is specially written for android phones/tablets and works with local network without internet connection.

What are you trying to control? There are several apps that might be able to help with that.
AirDroid lets you access your device from a browser. You can do almost anything you could do on your phone from the web interface, and it works over local connections.
TabletTalk allows you to sync your phone and tablet over BT or wifi so that you can get call and text notifications on your tablet, and also respond to texts. If you have a BT headset paired to your phone you can even answer the phone from the tablet and talk via your headset.
TabletRemote also lets you control one android device from another.
One of these should (hopefully) fit your needs.
Or are you looking for a VNC type of setup where you can see your phone's screen and control it on your tablet?

Android Hotspot - show data used by connected devices

Hallo
I have an Android 7 phone (Cubot Note Plus, rooted) which I just use as a WiFi Hotspot for my main phone, tablet and computers, when travelling.
The data plan I have is not that big, so I would like to know which connected devices are using how many data of my plan. Is there a way to check this?
In the data used, I only see the whole hotspot data, but not each connected device's data consumption.
Is there maybe an app to see that? Root is available, so maybe with Tasker (which is installed)?
Thanks for hints.

Now I found this answer at StackExchange:
How to view devices connected to hotspot on Android?​I think this could solve my question, will try that app (Hotspot Manager...
Nothing was it. That old app "Hotspot Manager" does not work anymore, if I even get it as download from some strange sources.
I dont find any app to manage the Hotspot on an Android device like a real hotspot.
I could find the connected devices (IP, MAC) with:
Code:
ip neigh
but that was it, no managing possible.
It should be easy to write at least an app to block some devices and with root it really should be possible to get info about the traffic etc. and really manage the own hotspot.
Strange that this is so rarely needed.
More and more I use my phone (or my old phone) as Hotspot, using my 10 GB Traffic in month for other devices.
I would like to see a bit more than just that my traffic is now nearly consumed by some connected devices and so on.
Maybe I just didnt search well enough...
