[Q] NFC mod required - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

dear developer here, from my understanding, the NFC chip is using PN65 which allow 3 mode, reader mode, peer to peer and also can configure as a card mode.
so far most user i assume are using reader mode(write/rewrite tag), and peer to peer(android beam to send files).
I was hoping to change to a card mode which allow me to configure to access door.
correct me if im wrong.

no one???

I guess we have the hardware but its a hell of a job i guess

[Q] Is there any application to allow me access my phone from web?

I've been searching around for a while and the only one is http://remotephoneaccess.com .
Is there any other application or WEB interface for remotely access my android? I need something like that every time when i forget the phone in my car or somewhere else, just to see who called and SMS or if i lose it.
Due to the nature of NAT, you'll need to do this via push from the phone to a server that can be "seen" from anywhere on the Internet, then pick up that info from said server. There is no way to route TCP/IP directly to your phone without access to the carriers' infrastructure. The app you link to takes a different tack: SMS (not TCP/IP) which can uniquely identify and trigger your phone from anywhere.

It should work with a VPN connection to a server from both sites and a remote control software like PAW Server from market.

Can Team Viewer do this ? Or it's one way only (from phone to PC) ?

Security Measures?

Iv lQQked but either in the wrong place or its not here. Was wondering what's the best possible security measures HTC EVO 4G LTE rooted owners could take for our devices. I ran into sumn called "zAnti" but haven't done further research on said app. Thanks!

So what exactly are you trying to secure?
Best security as far as Android goes is encrypting the device and setting a Pattern Unlock (Make sure you wipe your screen frequently)
Cerberus from the amazon app store (cheaper then play)

Iv read that ppl w/advance knowledge of computers could piggyback your tethered connection and easily get most if not all information from your phone. Iv tried an app called AdbToggler but its conflicting with superSU or something. You can never be too secured but it helps knowing you can get pretty darn close and how to do so. Lol

Security is always an illusion.
Just be safe about the apps you install.
Try not to install them from 3rd parties unless you really trust them (Amazon, GetJar, a recognized XDA developer).
If a hacker really wants the info on your phone bad enough, they'll get it.
You take risks with rooting a phone, less security is one of them.

zAnti is a security researcher's tool that can do some minor pentesting actions (network discovery, port scans, exploit vuln checks). Think of it like a baby Nessus. It does not really do anything on it's own to secure the Android OS. As far as securing you device, the answer is fairly simple and is the same with anything:
1) Authentication: Secure the lockscreen with at least a PIN or pattern (I recommend a password). Face Unlock is a joke and the basic lockscreen is by no means secure...
2) Install an anti-virus app. I personally use BitDefender, because it has a full suite of options, including GPS tracking and remote wipe.
3) Optionally, use a firewall or manually configure iptables, if you know how.
4) Don't install anything that you are not sure what it does or have any questions as to it's safety.
5) Be aware of exactly what is on your device... all software, scripts, etc.
6) Physical Access == Pwned. If a malicious party has physical access to your device, all bets are off.
As far as security goes, common sense goes a long way.
I just use Avast! both on my laptop and on my phone, it works great!
There's a list of text commands you can send your phone, it's pretty cool! Also with root users there's more options for security.

[Q] Remote Control Android Phone

I would like to be able to control my parent's mobile phones. They are not good with technology so I'm having issues walking them through how to fix various little things on their phone. They are coming to visit me soon and I'd like to install software on it that allows me to control the hardware from a remote location.
I've been doing remote control for their home PCs for years and it's saved so many headaches because I can remotely deal with it myself without any user interaction. This is what I'm looking for to control their cell phones. I'd prefer the ability to click with a mouse on areas of the screen to emulate touching it with a finger.
Both phones are identical. They are both AT&T Samsung Infuses on Froyo (I could upgrade them to GB but they really don't care. I will if it gives me more options though). Both phones are not rooted and they don't want me doing anything with that because they want their warranty.
Thanks guys!!! ...and yes I did a search there's nothing new on the topics in a while and most speak of apps that require root.
just putting this out there, any app that allows a remote user to control hardware would HAVE to have root access by its nature. Otherwise, any of your remote actions wouldnt actually do anything.

if that's the case then what's my best bet to get this done? Anotherwords what's the best remote software that doesn't require root and what would it allow me to do remotely???
goo. gl/ YgRTo
Access to basic settings, really simple stuff like turn on/off wifi/GPS/etc
Not really anything useful.

AirDroid allows users to enter passcode on web.airdroid.com, so I was confused.
You can do it without rooting now, try our new app, VMLite VNC Server, it allows you view and control your android phones from a PC. works on S2 with Jelly Bean.

work with Froyo? Main use is to control my parent's phone (Samsung Infuse) and since they're not tech savvy is it easy to setup remotely?
yes, event works with Eclair, Froyo is fully supported.
I agree with the VMLite VNC server option , works decently for me.
For Samsung phones, you can also look for TeamViewer Quick Support on the Play Store.

[Q] NFC on the DNA

I'm new to using NFC and discovered that apparantly there are issues with transfering data between different platforms (android to windows) and sometimes even between different versions of Android. Has anyone come up with a way to transfer files between different platforms or does anyone have any tips and tricks to make the best use of NFC? I know NFC tags are probably the easiest answer, does anyone know of the best tags or where to buy them? Thanks!

Can you please explain what you mean by issues with transferring data? Like what kind of data? NFC is for like sending contacts to another phone by tapping them together. NFC tags are pretty cool you can program them to do all sorts of thing from enabling WIFI when you get home or disabling it when you leave. NFC isnt for sending files back and forth from phone to phone... as far as im concerned you cant use it from phone to PC.
Sorry not to be clear on that. I'm referring to transferring data such as pictures and videos between android and Windows phone 8. I've also read that some different droid phones have issues doing this as well.

I'm also curious about NFC. I've never used it before and don't see any kind of app or settings regarding NFC in the menus. How does this stuff work?
It's actually easier to use than I thought. All i did was browse to a contact or webpage and then touch another NFC phone. Once you make contact you'll see your screen change at the top to say "touch to beam" just simply tap the screen to send. That assumes that you have NFC turned on in Settings > More. Also be sure to turn on the Check box for "android beam". My problem was that I thought we could transfer pictures and video from android to windows phone but apparently we can't do that yet, only android to android for that stuff.

Ah, the Settings > More part is where I'd missed it. Thanks!
Yea its really simple android makes it super easy and all you gotta do is turn it on. Currently not too much is supported by it because it is a newer technology give it another year and more stuff will be using it

HTC One as Macbook Pro remote?

If the phone has an IR blaster is this possible?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Theres an app called gmote in the play store, to control your computer, it works with windows and mac .
Just make sure your Pro doesn't have a retina. The Retina ones don't support IR unless you get an external receiever.
You could give this app a try

Neither of the two apps utilize the IR remote. I'm looking for one that will allow that. Seeing as the phone just came out, maybe one will show up over time.

Yes, MacBook Pro will respond to HTC One IR Blaster

Yes, this is possible. You simply use the TV app that came preloaded on your HTC One.
While the buttons aren't labeled exactly the same, you can make it work just fine by configuring a custom remote. Just click through the service provider selection screen, answering however you like even if you don't have service, though I suggest being as accurate as possible in case you want to check listings at say, your friend's house for a football game.
Personally, I configured all applicable buttons: both direction and volume, and enter/play/pause/select, etc. I didn't want to have to hunt for buttons, so it seems easier to program them all, even though another button will do the same thing.
I'm hoping someone will make (or there already is) a custom IR blaster app that will allow us to share profiles for some of the more complicated devices, or HTC will add a "Custom Remote Profile Sharing" feature. This way, you won't need an original remote to copy signals from, and you won't need to use a more root-intensive app if you wanted to copy your configuration to another device or owner.
Please click thanks if I answered your question.
