(I posted the same question in the ROM 3d but here maybe is more well placed)

I read that something is changed in how the system manage the kernel (kernel proc files) and now all the apps that monitor the network connections didn't work anymore . (tried several and all stay forever in listening without prompt any connection or IP) . Also "Network Connections" app with root access don't work.

I can see the wi-fi icon activate and deactivate the double arrow but not traffic seems generated in "network speed monitor" (app for trace the download and upload traffic) . I also disable the network test that ping the google servers.

I would know the apps list that are using the network and the IP address they are using.

Do you know some apps that can monitor in real time network connections in android 12?
[General Questions and Answers] giostark:
Found a solution! PCAPdroid . SDK31 work on Android 12 ! Ok is not direct and use a virtual VPN... it do the job.

I can finally stomp all the trashy apps that work in background without my consent. (or any consent in general)

PCAPdroid | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

No-root network monitor and traffic dump tool for Android devices

f-droid.org

PCAPdroid is an open source app which lets you monitor and export the network traffic of your device. The app simulates a VPN to achieve non-root capture but, contrary to a VPN, the traffic is processed locally into the device.

Cheer !! :geek:
[General Questions and Answers] blaukraut:
Hi giostark,

Thank you very much for your research! I can't believe how little information is available in the net on such an important topic. Actually I think, each OS should be able to show the user which app causes how much traffic right now, like in the Windows Task-Manager. Unfortunately, Android doesn't. And now, as you pointed out correctly, with A12 even the apps, which added this feature stopped working.

I always used the app Internet Speed Meter for that. It provides a permanent notification about the current network traffic load, which is essential to me. Sometimes I look at the notification and see that my phone has super high traffic going on right now, despite I'm not doing anything and then I just tabbed on the notification and it showed me exactly, which app was causing the traffic. This is soooo important in my opinion. Unfortunately, with A12 this stopped working. The traffic is still shown, but not which app causes it.

I now installed PCAPdroid, as you suggested, and I can confirm it works. This is awesome! However, I'm not happy with the UI. When I open the PCAPdroid notification and open the connections tab, there are many connections shown and it is not easy to find the one connection/app, which causes the actual high traffic right now. There should be a sort function. Even better would be something, where I can just see in a quick and easy way, which app causes traffic right now, as Internet Speed Meter did:

So, if anyone has a better suggestion than PCAPdroid, I would be really happy. Thanks to giostark for at least suggesting this app though!

Cheers
[General Questions and Answers] giostark:
This is more an eruption than a technical post.

Without rooting the phone , AFwall+ it, disabling by hand lots of service (play service at first) with System Service (that contain adds of course , so you have to keep it off line first of launch it) , disabling the captive portal , the automatic DNS , use Warden also, with lucky patcher destroy all the hidden ads contained in the 70% of your phone ,and.... and other tons of stuff boring to list, you cant simply have control on anything exactly as is intended by the Andorid ecosystem. (and after all this , still you are not in full control eh)

Android is made from Google for Google , non for the people. As Windows is made by MS for MS.

Look , those are system services that automatically will have access to the net. They even don't fit the screen. There are many more listed in other group. (and probably some hidden in the kernel that doesn't show up)

Even NordVpn app have 4 DAMN TRACKERs. Seriously ?!?!!?!? (in some hacker site they caught that it send to some site even sensor proximity activities). Seriously ?!?!?! Yep. Even in the Linux machine I use every day I caught in the journal log that it connect to some site even at the start of the machine. And not just when you use that fk app. (trashed the company at the speed of light)

This is where we are going. And this is why now you cant log properly android.

We all are deeply sleeping . And this world will end bad. That's all.

Then... answering properly to the question if exist a better app , the answer is, will never be.

As stated also in some ROMs sub forum here we are too few for attract the interest of Google , otherwise this trashy company would have found the system for block every rom.

Every one that use a phone (apple especially) is happy. Who made this traps have exactly clear how the reward mechanics of our brain work.

We are too few that try to understand how the things are going and that try to have a wide point of view.

Almost no one know (and understand) the meaning of fallacy. Without it is basically impossible understand if a sentence is valid or not. What hope exist?

Leaving the catastrophic point of view afar , have good luck to track the stuff your phone is doing.
[General Questions and Answers] ForestCat:
100%. Hope there's a warm place in hell waiting for all those responsible. I will never get back the hundreds and hundreds of hours I spend trying to neuter the hidden, anti-consumer behaviors of goods/services I'VE PAID FOR AND OWN. Forced updates should be globally outlawed. /rant.Off
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
There is ONLY ONE WAY to prevent tracking: stop using technology.

Smartphones, laptops, etc. are all devices designed with communication in mind, which means they work by connecting to networks and exchanging information. And the entities providing the infrastructure have done so with profit in mind, in addition to tracking users.

You can never use these devices for your benefit alone.
[General Questions and Answers] giostark:
This is exactly the resignation to laziness.
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
Anyone who thinks he can beat the system would be living in oblivion.

There is a reason why specially designed phones are used by heads of states and they only communicate via secure networks. These are not available to the public.
[General Questions and Answers] giostark:
Yep , but this don't exempt us to do our part. And if "you" don't , is also "your" guilt.

The understanding part (of the things) is fundamental. It help to operate choices. (maybe the right ones).

Understanding need effort. And this cost to us. But we are lazy.

I do not blame too much the humans. (despite I really hope in a new and massive asteroid that don't leave a second chance). By nature design the brain have to consume less ATP (energy) that it can. And it have to solve the task of the moment is the shorter time possible. While this can save life in a savanna in a long projection this is disintegrating the society. This way to go open the gate of lies and laziness.

Tech (in general) is not helping us to evolve, is helping us to become more stupid (and someone else more rich).
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
I agree with you that we have to do our part. My point is this: just as one must not resign to laziness, one must also not resign to living with a false sense of security.
[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
All you have to do is look at a logcat to see all the sleazy stuff that apps are trying to do that isn't allowed and generates errors to extrapolate to all the stuff that they are getting away with.

That's another reason not to run your device on permissive.
[Touch HD General] cojones:
After reluctantly succumbing to the temptation of the iPhone I bought one and used it for 1 week before reverting to my Diamond!

Conclusions - the iPhone is a good communications device. The Diamond is a good communication device AND a mobile Personal Computer. It is so much more versatile, flexible and you can be more productive without relying on your desktop/laptop PC.

The iPhone interface is lovely, fast, robust-feeling and crisp and clear. It has been designed to be like that. HTC have put touch functionality on top of WinMo which was not designed for it so it has a few drawbacks.

I shall no doubt upgrade to the Touch HD as I now accept the HTC failings because the platform is so much better than iPhone.

My question is...how is the HTC Touch HD going to address these?

Any thoughts, considered opinions, or leaked info welcome!!

cheers all
[Touch HD General] Raziel1:
so what kind of drawbacks are you talking about?

cause basicallly, the touch hd has got the same interface and OS as the Diamond. Only the screen in bigger. So you will see more at the same time (more appointments on the home screen for example)
[Touch HD General] utvol06:
I agree.. Its a Diamond with a larger screen and 5MP camera. Hopefully it doesn't inherit any of the same GPS lag problems as its kin.
[Touch HD General] cojones:
Hi, yes i'm aware it is just Diamond but bigger, i'm wondering if HTC has updated the usability aspects of the hardware, like the screen and the interfaces like the keyboard?

A constant problem for me with the Diamond is the hit-and-miss accuracy of the direction pad. Sometimes pressing right gets actioned as backspace and closes things down. It is also fiddly to position to cursor exactly between required letters in text boxes.

I'm wondering, especially as there is no directional pad on the HD, what measures HTC has implemented to enable this precise kind of interaction.
[Touch HD General] Roobuls:
Just install something like

Winterface

and the interface will be so much like an iPhone it won't be funny.
[Touch HD General] chrissyboy6969:
The biggest difference that you will find after coming from using an iPhone is the screen. The reason the iPhone screen is so good to use is it is a capacitive screen which means it does not require any pressure to select icons etc. It senses changes in electrical properties brought on by touching it with bare skin. The screen in Windows Mobile devices is resistive which requires pressure by touch or a stylus for accuracy.

Having said that the sensitivity of the screens can be changed and from what I have seen from various hands on videos of the Touch HD the screen looks very sensitive to touch so I am hoping this will very usable.
[Touch HD General] cojones:
Thanks. I am a WinMo person through and through, for about 5 years now, I only had an iPhone for 1 week! I understand the differences with screen technology, do you think HTC will have improved the sensitivity by default?
[Touch HD General] ZED_pt:
One of the best features in HD is the new screen.It doesnt use the same technology as Iphone but is very similar in sensitivity,although Iphone screen is still the best in touch screens(flash memory and touch screen are the only things better then latest WM devices...in my opinion of course).
[Touch HD General] buggybug0:
This is just a general comment stemmed from yours, not directed at you:

iphone is fast because it doesn't multitask, other than the core apps that came with iphone. apps are "paused" and states are saved when you go into a different application, nothing can run in the background.

microsoft needs to fire their entire marketing team for not attacking this weakness of the iphone and trumpet this as a pro for Windows Mobile. Actually come to think about it, their marketing team should be fired for unable to come up with advertisements that stick in viewers minds (comparing to apple's ads)
[Touch HD General] Rudegar:
the gps is onchip on the qualcomm so apart from antenna

and software they would all performe pretty much the same
[Touch HD General] cojones:
Totally agree!

Yes, that was a frustrating thing with the iPhone for the little time i used it, when tracking my cycle rides it needed to be on (screen off) with the app in the foreground. No chance of continuing to track when a phone call comes in or you need to check something else, e.g google maps, internet, etc.

Other iPhone frustrations, no copy & paste, no windows explorer type app, no document editors, no turn by turn gps (yet).

Hoping i can get rid of the iPhone sharpish to help me banish the horrible memories ;-)
[Touch HD General] chrissyboy6969:
I am an iPhone 3G user now, before that I have always used Windows Mobile, the iPhone makes everything that it can do easy to do. Problem is what it can do compared to Windows Mobile is limited. I miss so many things that I used to have, tethering, copy paste to name just two but most importantly the iPhone is becoming too mainstream for me, I like to be different, I like to have a phone that others don't have and show them things they can't do, I guess that is just the geek in me. For that reason I am buying a Touch HD as soon as it comes out, with a little work I can get it to perform just how I want it too.
[Touch HD General] Lord.Bachus:
With Quallcom there is generally one problem...

Their speed is to low... And then people blame in on Win Mobile
[Touch HD General] cojones:
Exactly! You've hit the nail on the head, that is the huge advantage WinMo has over iPhone, you can make it just what you want it. iPhone - you get it...and that's it (except for the wallpaper on the unlock screen ;-)
[Touch HD General] dani31:
The only issue with WinMo is it's stone age interface designed for stylus. All shells like Manila and SPB are nice but after a couple of taps you reach the good old WinMo GUI and you have to pull the stylus and bring the magnifying glass.

I want a 6.1 device where WinMo is just a platform, and the GUI is entirely replaced with a touch friendly shell.

But the Touch HD will not do that. It will have the same Frankenstein GUI as all recent WinMo devices, so I will keep my Kaiser until WM7 comes along. (or until android supports desktop sync and turn-by-turn)
[Touch HD General] amireshan:
Same goes here

I was a previous Window mobile user too, but switch to iPhone, but for only less than two weeks or so I sold my iphone, iPhone are luck of so many things compare to Window Mobile features. The iPhone is not so bad. but I rather stick with WMobile, which is easy and simple to use..
[Touch HD General] blackb1ade:
Don't think that'll be very long to wait at all, given the open-source nature of the software :-)
[Touch HD General] dataSaMm:
I've used iPhone but have settled for the HD. I like the screen of the iPhone although I prefer the screen on the HD.

HTC Touch HD gives me the real feel of pressing a button where in the iPhone you just touch it and you get instant reaction which sometimes isn't what you want.

When I type, I like to keep my fingers on the screen while thinking of the next line (what ever) and when I am ready I can continue to press as normal to type which is superb!

[General Questions and Answers] giostark:
Hi,

Still here with other questions for optimize my phone. (N20U rooted with android 12 , custom rom & kernel, tweekspro etc etc)

Reading around how to preserve the longest efficiency of the battery I would like set the interval where the phone must work.

I know that the optimum interval is 20% - 85% for the maximum numbers of cycles.

In Android 12 is possible to set the maximum value: settings > battery > more battery settings > battery protection (to enable to 85%). This work well. (I can achieve this also with ThunderTweaks).

How can I set the minimum percentage after the which it power off ? (ex at 20%)

Thanks for the tips!

You can try using the Tasker app, it can be used to set up virtually any automated task that you can think of.
[General Questions and Answers] giostark:
Tnx Droid , I already seen this workaround but because I'm not a coder this would be a little complicated.

This feature for "extend" the battery life should be a common features . Is strange no one have already published something about it. (if at the end I will not found any alternative solution I'll have to dig in tasker)

Tasker is pretty much your only option. I don't know of any other methods of setting up automated processes with conditions of activation, I've been a member here for many years and haven't seen any other tricks to do what you want. If there is another method here, its very obscure and more complicated than Tasker.

Hi.

I ve a Touch Pro with much ram:D. I can run many program at same time without problems (tomtom, newsbreak, palringo, etc). But when I run Opera many programs are closed / killed. I ve debugged it with my own program and Its the tipical way used by Windows same years old when a program requested much memory and needed to close others. So:

1) Windows sends (shoots) other programs with WM_CLOSE messages

2) After some seconds Windows Kills the programs that refused to close.

But It doesnt happens after soft reset. Only after several hours. Maybe because the memory is fragmented and Windows cant allocate a contigous chunck of memory to satisfy Opera.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Dani
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mrvanx:
HTC Task manager by default (i think) will "autokill" programs. Install advanced config and disable the autokill setting on the task manager with it. do a soft reset and it shouldnt do that any more.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] danielherrero:
But I dont use Task Manager. Just open a few programs (after several hours without reset). Then open opera and after some seconds some of the previous programs were closed....
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] -wireless-:
I believe that the Task Manager is still inbuilt and thus you need to get rid of it and install the one mrvanx suggested.

Cheers
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ULI22:
Hi Dani

As long as you're using TF3D, its taskmanager is running and killing programs if available memory goes beneath ~120 MB. You may change this threshold via avanced config (I think).
