Controlling galaxy s2 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Does anyone know how I can control and record my galaxy s2 from my computer/ Mac. I currently use lazydroid which has a very bad recording quality, however, I have seen people post video tutorials of their phones with a good quality recording. As said previously how do I also control my phone from the laptop or from the Internet.
Control the phone here means somehow control it without getting in touch with the phone e.g. controlling the screen over the web. Any ideas guys, as to what app I can use to do this.
Cheers
Sparta!

Download an app called airdroid, then enter your code on the internet and there should be an option to control your phone

I want to control the phone as I see it on my screen, like you do when you use lazy droid. I can understand why you suggested that app because you thought that I want to control the contents of the phone. No, I want to control the screen of the phone from my Pc. If unsure then please google lazy droid.
Sparta hopes someone can name a good app which can do what I ask for.

See you were very close, its the other way around. As you can use teamviewer a vnc to control your Pc/Mac from your phone I want to be able to do the same, but, its the other way around. In other words I want to see my screen of the phone and be able to control the phone from a Pc. So, its the other way around. Comeon Spartans what do you think it is.

Best Bit torrent app?

Ive been looking for a bit torrent app that doesn't require having it on my laptop or signing up with a login. What's everyone using? So far I'm thinking of buying the bittorrent client by new freedom apps its 4.99 so what's the best.
I would download movies and tv shows maybe some mp3 files mostly over wifi and hopefully doesn't seed from other users phones just servers. Cause I don't want my phone getting seeded..... Any ideas ?

Anyone used AndTor?
Swarm is the best BT client on Android EVER, because it actually works well, and the developer is great.
I use Torrent-fu but you could always just get LogMeIn and have full access to your server and can add and remove torrents or really anything else that way. Works great.
Apologies... after reading the OP again this solution will not work for what you are trying to accomplish.
AndTorrent works great for me.

Do any of these torrent apps support magnet links and if so can you delete the tracker from the link before you start d/ling? Or better yet can you just add the links to the app manually? cause then i can delete the tracker for sure. Man this would be awesome.
I keep getting "error: null" on my torrents in swarm. never more than "downloading from 0 of 0 peers". Any help?

Hi I bought the Skyrocket yesterday and installed all the app's I had in previous phones. It doesn't let you download torrents, streaming and people having problems with blackmart or other non legal apps. AT&T checking what sites you connect to and stops. I never had this problem with any phone I had almost 10 android phone.

There are many legit things that use torrents.
I can't stand using torrents however.
Its not that you can't install apps. U just can't use some apps that download torrents or I don't know what else? Even the sites I visit it hangs seems like its checking something, I have the international galaxy s 2 and same apps dont have any problems. Don't start with the proccessor being different. I have the tmibile gs2 and it also has no problem.

so my solution is to stop using those apps.
I can see if the stock browser wont let you download torrents, though. You might want to use another browser, like opera or firefox. The stock browser doesnt play well with some torrents.

Browser redirecting to porn sites

So while this behaviour is pretty rare it still happens to me ebry once in a while. My browser suddenly redirect from for example google to a porn site. If I press back I cant find any link to the site so I couldn't have clicked it myself. All my apps come from the appstore and I'm on the stock rom etc etc. Why is this and how can I prevent it?

I noticed that too on my un-jailbreaked iPad. I would suspect some resident XSS/javascript. Especially since the ipad is a closed/protected environment.
Funny thing is that it happened to me twice while browsing the forbes website which I would consider super serious
I cleaned all the cookies and stuff and seems to be gone since then...
PS: If someone knows more details regarding this attack and technical details I would be very interested. The fact that it even affects the iPad is fun
Use a more secure browser like Firefox and install AdFree.
so much open confession going on! Keep it up lads......if you know what I mean?!

maybe some network spoofing ... do you trust your internet connection/provider or are you connected into some free wifi hotspot ?

I don't think any other post on XDA has made me crack up quite so much! Absolutely brilliant!!!!
Im trying to find a problem in this. More to the point though, are they any good?
I dont even think this is a galaxy s3 - only problem. I got this **** on my galaxy s1, now some times on my galaxy s3, when I was trying to visit xda devs homepage. I was so ****ing upset @@
And dont come with the "If you know what I mean" meme, this isnt ****in funny guys, thats just freaky annoying. If I'm searching for some useful stuff for my phone, suddenly there is a stupid relink to a site like "uporn" or some ****, I could smash my phone against the wall.
So, this is more or less a major problem on the android community, and I think, on iOS there is the same problem, especially on jailbroken devices.
hopefully someone can find the problem
btw I had this problem, when I was on my rooted ICS-Galaxy s1 and on my actually rooted s3 -.-'' Dont know if it has something to do with it, but I dont hope so. :S
I saw "porn" on the title and ended up here..... don't know why...
Does the problem occur only under 3G(4G w/e)? Or also under wifi?
Try deleting under your APN settings the proxy for your provider.... might be some prank been played to your Provider :silly:
Or maybe a weird app you installed "changed something" on your "hosts" files...
It comes on 3G and Wifi on my phone (at least the SGS1, the s3 had this problem only a few times )
And this really cant be that the providers could do this ****, if yes, I would sue the **** out if them and get a pay-free contract for life.
I'd say you downloaded an app that has installed another app on your phone that sends spam.
Try removing all your downloaded apps then use the phone for a week if it doesn't happen then you know its an app, if it does happen then you know its a site.
I use chrome and dont get this issue.
Also just because an app is in the app store does not mean it is safe, I always Google the app before I install it . Also apps that I'm really not sure about I download onto my computer the I scan for virus then I send via email to my phone.
Another thing it may be is if you have you chrome desktop bookmarks synced then it could be coming from the desktop sync.
Check your homepage on your PC and your home page on your phone make sure it is Google not captain stab in

Quite possibly someone on your network is using a network spoofer and redirecting your phone to those sites. Or you downloaded an app that's doing it. Remove any fishy/unnecessary apps and reset/check your hosts file

Samsung RemotePC (from new PRO series)

Hi,
here is a simple APK (RemotePC.apk.zip) from the new PRO firmware which also works on our 2014 serie (at least at my P600):

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
Install
Unpack the APK file from the attached ZIP file and install it like every other external app on your Note and then install the client on your PC via this webpage:
Samsung Remote PC
And thats all (it have also some security settings but the rest should do your firewall):
PC agent
I also attach the agent for OS X (RemotePC.pkg.zip). I didn't found one for Windows now.

I don't install the Agent on a Windows machine until now but I expect that the Web ID is shown in the browser after you download the agent and the password is your personal password for the connection between your pc and tablet.
Everything else is fine...when I log in it connects ...screen goes dark and I can't get the menu to come up and control the cursor. It was working then just stopped.
