Galaxy S4 (VzW) Phone Display fails

I'm sorry to find that the Samsung Galaxy S4 (Verizon) SCH-i545 fails to display anything when using WebKey 2.09 under any Windoze browser (Exploder, Chrome, Safari, FFox)

Has anyone been able to get this working on any model of GS4? I wonder if it's the higher display resolution that's causing problems. I've sent email to the developer (Peter on 24May13) with descriptions and screenshots, but haven't heard back from him yet. I'm not sure that there's any ongoing development taking place (which would be a shame.) When this works as expected, WebKey is among my top 10 apps! I'm so sad that it's broken! :crying:
[Android Apps and Games] Aqua1ung:
Sadly, this app may have become abandonware. Bummer. Give TeamViewer QuickSupport a try.
[Android Apps and Games] esok:
This program doesn't work with ASUS Fonepad. It uses an Intel medfield processor.

Anybody else have this problem? Any updates to Webkey, or any similar programs that can be used?

is there a lock function in this app? Good job btw
[Android Apps and Games] devitrified:
reboot?

Make it a system app

Fantastic app. But I was wondering if it could be installed in such a way that it would survive a data reset for the case that a thief stole my phone and I could then see what he was up to?

I used link2sd to move the app to the /system/apps/ area and did a data reset.

The app seemd to survive but not the data associated with it (I had to create a new user name etc) and the auto launch on phone power on didnt happen either.

Any suggestions that I could try?

How-To Customize the top Menu?

How can I change the top Menu, I can only find <<MENU>> and no file appears to construct it. Done searches in each file for key words but nothing has turned up. Am I missing a php file or some hidden file that is created on teh device?

Also, the screenshot area doesn't appear to support 720p displays very well. I'm touching the screen and the touch appears in different locations around the UI on the device. Any ideas, is it a scaling thing, maybe?

This is a fantastic program that I really like. Congratulations to the developers!

Great app. I love to use it on my second phone but can't use it with my Nexus 4 (Android 4.3). Is there a beta working with Android 4.3 or does somebody know a release date of an Android 4.3 version?
[Android Apps and Games] Humpie:
It works for me on my nexus 4, it's just, I can't connect with androidwebkey.com/mynickname, only via my ip-adress, but that, of course, won't work if my phone isn't on the same network. Also the ability to change the bightness doesn't work here, but that could be 'cause I'm using Lux dash

I just installed this on a Galaxy Nexus running rooted stock (4.3). In portrait orientation it works fine, but in landscape the touch location is transmitted wrong. I didn't have this problem when I ran the server on the Nexus One (stock 2.3.6). Has anyone else seen this?
[Android Apps and Games] RahXephon91:
Hi,

WebKey isn't working for me. Starting Service and Login works fine.

But when I'm on the webpage I can't do anything. Because there isn't the box showing my Android Screen.

There's only the box for writing in Android.

Please help.

Info: Tested with Stock Kernel. Not working. // Tested with Siyah Kernel. Not Working. // Tested with Firefox and Chrome. Not Working.

For Device Specific Details look at my signature.
[Android Apps and Games] tekweezle:
i've been testing this app and it worked fine well. i think this would be a great app for accessing a phone with a broken screen.

but the problem will be if this was not installed already. you can install it remotely using the play store but is there a way to get it to run and have a user configured remotely? maybe some way to inject user credentials via ssh?

anyone have any ideas?

thanks again

Any Solution for Mini Android PC's?

I've had a read through this forum and I'm hoping that someone in a similar position to me may have already found a solution.

I have a Mini Android PC (RK3188/T-R42II) that was sent from China, I was hoping to be able to control that through my Motorola Xoom (Team EOS4 ROM) firstly both devices are rooted and on the same network.

The Android Mini PC is connected via Ethernet to by router (if that makes any difference).

I can connect via WebKey (local) and I can see the screen of my AMPC on my Xoom, I can also see the touch events take place on the AMPC, the issue that I have is that nothing at all seems to happen. I've tried launching apps by touching them on my xoom you see the touch event take place on the AMTV screen but nothing happens. Swiping the screen is also unsuccessful.

I have the AMPC resolution set to 1080p 50hz, could that be the issue? could there be a resolution miss-match, I can switch it to 720p to match the xoom which will be my next steps, I'm just curious to see if there is anyone else in the same position as me that has found a solution?

Thanks in advance.

a quick question

I

It's so sad this tool is left dead. I only discovered webkey this week. It works somewhat on my rooted Kyocera Hydro running 4.0, but doesn't work on rooted Samgsung s3 running Cyanogen 4.2.

Even on Hydro 4.0, it doesn't auto restart on boot. Is there any way to fix this? thanks

Hi,the same is for me on a samsung gt-s5830i,i have used an app called autostart for a workaround..wekbey starts but not it's service..please help :(
[Android Apps and Games] Andromate:
First impression: very exciting project with multiple functionality .. I've noticed that homepage is down for now i can imagine that there is not enough funds to keep it running, :cowboy:

as kind of bug, web access is unavailable when the phone is locked,

and for additional features / security measures i suggest to add password protection to access or run the app also a local data encryption to keep everything away from hands

it's very promising keep it up :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] YannLF:
Hi,

I don't know if this has been posted before, but there is a partial solution for those who cannot connect via the IP address over 3G/4G, because their provider is blocking it, and connecting through webkey.cc does not work.

I do not mean to provide a fully tested solution, but just a hint for people trying to stream the rooted Android device screen to another Android device.

What I did requires at least two Android devices : one rooted (the streaming device), let's call it A, and one not necessarily, let's call it B. B must have a 3G/4G connection available.

Want I did is to share my device B's 3G/4G connection over wifi, (I used FoxFi Key, but normally it is a build in function), and connect to it with device A.

Therefore, device A has a local IP address, and I was able to stream Device A screen to device B using webkey to stream on A and webkey to connect to remote screen on B.

Although this solution still requires a 3G/4G connection, it enables the connection in an environment where there is not external Wifi connection.

I have yet to test it in situ to test the performance, regarding the maximum distance between the two devices essentially.

Hope this is not a repost, but I didn't feel like browsing the 37 pages to make sure of it :)

i find this the only useful app, incase you want to find out who stole your phone, his current position, his numbers, you can take photos, import photos, text the phone, take numbers.. call numbers ( i would call myself to get the number) and many more

i ve installed this app and locked it, enabled auto start and auto connect service and now it works in the background always.

will it let me access it behind a modem, router?

I want to leave a phone with this on it at my brother's house who has great internet service and remote into it with my primary phone or laptop to make downloads that I can not make using my prepaid account.

When I get to the website I get the IP address of the mode/ router and not the phones IP. How can I remedy this?
[Android Apps and Games] tekweezle:
Change the port used by the phone to something than port 80 and do some port forwarding at the router.
[Android Apps and Games] u4icpain:
x2 Personally, I think RATs and Remote Controllers are cool, but one really needs to know the vulnerability they entail. Nice tools, but I'd never install a developer version of this kind of software onto anything.

Know your certificates, firewalls, ports, encryption options and do some Pentesting before installing this kind of software people.

how to start webkey from command line

Hi

I am using lollipop 5 on my tablet, I installed webkey 3.2.11 and it works GREAT!!!

However, since I have ssh server installed in my tablet, instead of starting webkey at every boot up, I am thinking to start it only when I need it to get maximum efficiency. In the other wards, I don't start webkey all the time, if I need to start webkey, I log in through ssh and start it from command line and then I can control it over the virtual screen.

Can someone help me on this?

Cheers,
[Android Apps and Games] effemme8:
can you post some screenshot here ?

I not understand : when I try to connect on site webkey.cc\test-fm... I have only image of "standard smartphone"
[Android Apps and Games] damienwei@hotmail.com:
I prepared some images, but don't know how to load it into this post, so have to use words...

I did not connect through webkey.cc. My tablet is connected to ethernet, so I can just directly connect into the tablet using its IP address (ie. type 10.211.190.196:8080 at the url input of your browser), if the browser displays a username and password screen, then you are connected, so don't forget to add a user account within the webkey setup menu before you start to connect. Also, your device must support giving superuser right to application.

Now, who can tell me how to start webkey background service from command line?

As matter of fact, my phone is set up to upload selected/all pictures automatically to my Dropbox server.
[Android Apps and Games] Aqua1ung:
Well, I gave it a try. It's got potential, though I just couldn't make it work directly (i.e. using DynDNS), and via Androidwebkey.com is excruciatingly slow. I'll try and see why it is that it just doesn't connect directly. It could be that my provider has forbidden it, though it could also be that the phone reports the "internal" IP, which doesn't really help. I guess we should wait for IPv6, right? :-)
[Android Apps and Games] morapeter:
Ok, I noted, +1 for a server with a faster connection.

Someone told me that he can connect his phone directly on port 8080 from Sprint (but not on port 80). I'm sure not all the phones are accessable this way.

IPv6 will be fun, but don't know when...
[Android Apps and Games] gatsu_1981:
Not working for me.

Vodafone IT, mobile internet.

I even have a dyndns, dyndns is working, but ALL connection are closed.

Perfectly working in wifi.
[Android Apps and Games] Keland44:
this seems like a very interesting project would it be possible to get this to work using the usb connection? kinda like how mymobiler works on windows mobile? how hard would it be to set it up so we could connect to the phone via usb using the broswer on the system would be able to leverage the speed of usb

very good job though I look further to seeing how this is developed
[Android Apps and Games] morapeter:
If you can't connect directly using the IP address, you won't be able to connect using dyndns as well. There is an explanation for this on our webpage: http://androidwebkey.com

A guy wrote that it worked on port 8080, but not on 80. He used the network Sprint. Maybe it worth a try, there is a Change port button in the app.
[Android Apps and Games] morapeter:
Yes, it works using the usb. You should start:

adb forward tcp:8080 tcp:80

on your computer after the phone is connected (adb is downloadable from google for win and linux), and visit http://127.0.0.1:8080 in your browser.
[Android Apps and Games] ivarson_swe:
Amazing!

So many functions, and it all works! Heck of a job..

Although I admit its pretty creepy to install and imagine what could happen if you were evil.. But wow!

Are there many functions that demands root prevs? binding to port 80 and grabbing the screen i guess,, but else?
[Android Apps and Games] morapeter:
The following requires root privilages: screenshot (framebuffer device), inject keys (we create a new Human Interface Device with an own keyboard layout and charset, for unicode characters), inject touch (/dev/input/event*), use port 80, make SQLite requests (read contacts, call log and messages are much faster from the db file rather than ask JAVA to do it for us).

So nearly everything.

We are not evil, but I can't prove it. All we could do is make it open source.

We are about to have a release within a week. SMS writing is coming, but it will cost money, so we want to be sure there are no bugs in that part.
[Android Apps and Games] ivarson_swe:
I see.. thanks for clearification..

Will you charge for having a an entry on androidwebkey.com (the other scary bit) too? And is it possible to delete ones username at your servers, or do I have to the /data/data/... to maintain it after a ROM wipe or reinstallation?
[Android Apps and Games] jasonkhan:
Phone screen displays upside down when using Dell Streak (2.1). Any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] morapeter:
We are not plaining to charge for anything. However, there might be some solid advertisement later.

Now it is not possible to delete username from our server. We only store the username and a random string which was generated by the phone (this random string is for security reason, for identify the phone). If you uninstall webkey, then the folder /data/data/com.webkey is deleted with all our files. If you install it again, then you have to use a new username. Not a perfect solution, I know.

I don't plan to release the server code (security reason: it may contain exploits, someone might use our code with a faster server to convince people to use his/her server and steal the users' data with our application, this is the place we can place advertisements, etc.), but I'm planning to release a python script which serves one client. In that way anybody will be able to see the protocol, use an own server, etc. I wanted to release this code weeks ago, but really have no time. I will do it this weekend.

If someone is interested I'm happy to write down everything I store on server. But these are basic log lines like IP address and time stamp. We are planning to implement SSL within a month, which will solve the trusting issue (the data will be encrypted between the browser and the phone).
[Android Apps and Games] morapeter:
It is not the first time that on a new phone something works different. Could you send an email to me (morapeter, and at gmail) with the followings?

I would be interested in a screenshot. Please right click on the screen in the browser and Save image as... And I would be also interested in the result of the following link: yourphone's_address/testfb

It may stop the service, but never mind.

I just found Webkey today and I am absolutely amazed. For days I have been playing with several client/server applications trying to connect to my phone from a computer, but I haven't even been able to establish a connection (possibly due to a somewhat convoluted setup of the intranet I am working in). Initially I was trying to use my phone as a UPNP server, but now I am just curious to find out what is even possible.

I am very much interested in obtaining the server script you are referring to. Have you released it yet? I can't wait to get my hands on it...

Thank you for your great work!
[Android Apps and Games] mimpoca:
Another question, how can I "press" the home, menu, and back keys on the web interface? The existing ones don't seem to work.
[Android Apps and Games] ivarson_swe:
suggestion

Is it possible to set the root for the file explorer to / instead of sdcard?

My dear Desire just got S-OFF thanks to AlphaRev and unRevoked..

Would be nice to be able to press "mount system r/w" and the mess with /system and /data through the web-explorer
[Android Apps and Games] flaneur:
Thanks!

Hey, thanks for sharing!

It works smoothly without redirecting through your server (thanks to my operator :-) , TMN, in Portugal).

The application is useful but there are a couple of bits to cleanup before we can use it everyday.

It would be nice to have some kind of way of extending its functionality without messing with your apk's code.

What about publishing a very simple webservice in the phone? It would receive two parameters (intent/cmdLine and intentParameters) and would launch the intent in the phone, passing it the received parameters. Then all we would have to do would be to build our application and call the webservice - in turn it would call our intent (apk) in the phone.

Once again, thanks, and I hope we see developments in the project :-)

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] morapeter:
I wrote down the ways I know. There is a reference to our code and a simple version of our server script: http://androidwebkey.com/html/redirect.html

We just made a new version available. It contains small bug fixes like:

- there is a checkbox called Flip for Dell Streak

- the phone tries to connect with the server using ports 80 and 110, this solves http proxy problem using t-mobile usa

- the animation of the 3g icon forced to refresh the screen, now the top most 5 % is ignored
[Android Apps and Games] morapeter:
We use keycode labels from the Android source, it's in the file

frameworks/base/include/ui/KeycodeLabels.h

It seems to work in most cases. Please write me an email and we will figure it out what is your phone's HOME key.
[Android Apps and Games] morapeter:
The reason is simple: AjaXplorer didn't use permissions (chmod, chown) quite well when I started to use it, and the sdcard is in fat32 (without permissions, ownerships), so this was the easy way.

I'll make a solution where you can at least read the data from /.
[Android Apps and Games] zrubi:
Hey,

Nice job it works really greate!

The idea behinde this is fantastic especially the feature that the phone always stays connect and I can access it even if I forgot it somewhere and I don't know its IP (as long as I have internet access) but there one thing that bothers me, how can we assure that you won't abuse our phones? I mean as long as it comunicates with your server you can access it and do whatever you want with it.

Do you have any EULA that will guarantee you won't access our phones in any way?

BTW is there a chance that you can provide the server side and an option in the app to make it communicate with different server other then yours?
[Android Apps and Games] morapeter:
Yes, it's possible. There is one small problem with a command line, it may contain spaces, &-s, etc., so it should be posted in a POST message, but instead of that I use a sequence of character codes separated by "_" (it was an ugly but fast solution). Now you can see the results of the command "ls" under linux by running:

curl --digest http://username:password@phone's_address/run_108_115

because the character code of "l" is 108, and the character code of "s" is 115. I'll create a new function, which will use POST and it will be easier.

By the way, you can get the gps location (it may return an empty string if there is no location available):

curl --digest http://username:password@phone's_address/gpsget

And the screenshot:

curl --digest http://username:password@phone's_address/screenshot.jpg > screenshot.jpg

or

curl --digest http://username:password@phone's_address/screenshot.png > screenshot.png

Tell me if you are interested in sending touch events or keys. Everything is defined in webkey.c (there are several mg_set_uri_callback lines near the end), but it might be hard to read. You may also see the javascript code, or the downloaded pages with Firebug.
[Android Apps and Games] morapeter:
We don't know your username/password of your phone's HTTP authentication, we don't record your data. However, you are right, we will put a disclaimer to our homepage. Give us a couple of days to write it.

I still haven't got enough time to implement SSL, which will encode the connection between the phone and the browser. It's on the top of my list. It will solve the issue of trust.
