My apologies if this has been addressed already. I notice that the screen is now constantly cycling on and off after I lock it with this app installed.This is with the PC's browser window open and connected to the phone's IP. With the browser closed and no connection between the PC and the phone the screen stays off as it should. Does anyone know why it's doing this and how I can fix it? This is on the HTC G2 running the latest MIUI GB ROM. Rebooting the phone made no difference. Thanks for an awesome app and the help.

Webkey problem

Hey ingenious developer of Webkey.

I'm having problems with Webkey's remote desktop control feature. I can't control my Android desktop. The buttons don't work and I can't seem to click on the screen. I'm trying to use it with an Android TV box from China. It's a Techgear MB932 running Android 2.3. Webkey works fine - it runs on the client (Android) machine, and though I can see the desktop at my end (Mac/Firefox), none of the buttons work and I can't control the machine at all. Please help if you can!

Cheers,

Jon

I used it on my Atrix 2 (edited build.prop to read it as a Nexus S, but that shouldn't affect the app?) and it functioned properly and all, but the image online was all distorted and bent and it was like the image was tripping on LSD and I had to look at my phone while using it to make sure I was hitting the right stuff, fix that and I will use this all the time.

Webkey isn't available to download from the Play Store for the Samsung Replenish M580. The Play Store shows the M580 as incompatible. But I manually installed the APK it basically works. The colors are wrong, but it's enough for me to provide remote assistance to my mom. Love it! Thanks!!!

[Android Apps and Games] victorhooi:
heya,

Is there any work on getting this compatible with ICS and upwards?

This app looks absolutely fantastic, and seems to have heaps of potential =).

I just tested it on my Galaxy Nexus running 4.1, and there seem to be a few issues.

When I tried to access it via the website (http://webkey.cc), it gives me "Phone is not online", even though the service is stated.

However, on the application on my phone, I can't seem to stop the service - if I click on "Stop service", it says working for a while, then just goes back to the same screen, and the service is still enabled.

When I click on "Log", it says "Warning Can not find log".

When I try to logon locally via the IP - I can't seem to create new Users. If I try to create users on the phone, I go through the prompts, hit Save User, then it dumps me back to the user screen, with no new user lister.

If I try to create one via the web interface, it gives me a notification method on the phone - I click on the notification, but that doesn't seem to do anything.

Is there any public roadmap or TODO you guys are working from?

Would be awesome to get this running - are there any known Android ROMS/versions it definitely works on?

Cheers,

Victor

I have a Samsung Nexus S with I think about 16 gigs of internal memory, and webkey still does not start on boot. Lost my phone yesterday and as it wasn't running, it wasn't of much use.

I managed to fix this on my HTC Incredible S on Android 2.3.5 with HTC Sense 3.0 (rooted Stock image) using the "Key configuration" in "Input settings" (Sorry, may not be the actual wording, I'm using webkey in German).

In any case, I added the "m" and "M" key in two rows at the bottom, the key code should match, and made sure that "works in SMS mode" (last column) was unchecked.

I didn't read all 29 pages of this thread, but I did notice a review of this app in the market, and somebody said something to the effect of:

"I love the new feature that lets you connect to another android phone"

so, I can use one android device to control another? How do I do this? I tried doing it through the devices browser, but that doesn't work. when I touch the screen, the actual device I'm touching recognizes the touch, but the virtual device on that screen that I'm trying to control does not recognize the touch.

Just can't get a user registered not in the app neither thru a Browser. I can fill out everything in the app and it asked also what to save, I save everything but no user is being created.

If I try thru the browser the app notifies me about the action, but then the message disappears or when I click on it it just opens the app.

Too bad. Really wanted to test it. I'm on jellybean cna 3.2.2.

Using SL4A

Hi,

Does anybody know how to get the SL4A function working with the latest build? I'm using a rooted HTC Incredible running the latest version of Cyanogenmod, and for the life of me, I can't get Webkey to run a python script I wrote in sl4a. Basically I send :

**** typical user:pwd[at]webkey stuff, just posting engine blocked me from writing out the link

and I just get a curl (52) message "Empty response from server"

I suspect this is command incorrect since I never set the server or port (although it seems like webkey is supposed to find the port automatically at least in webkey.cpp, so I find this a bit confusing)

If anybody could point me in the right direction, that would be great.

Thanks

P.S. I'm new to the forums, so if this is for Q&A then I'll ask over there, but there aren't too many webkey threads out there, and I didn't want to start a new one for a Webkey API question, which is why I posted here.

I reported something similar here. That was the case with earlier CM9 nightlies. With the newer nightlies, the situation on my i9000M is exactly the same as yours, hence I'd appreciate if the developers addressed this. Alternatively, I was thinking of using Tasker for this purposes, though I don't know what parameters to invoke in order to start the WebKey service upon reboot. Anyone?

[Android Apps and Games] ckollars:
possible reason for no response

When this happens to me, it's because the WiFi in the smartphone has timed out and shut off. The "fix" is to go to the smartphone and turn it on directly, and then return to the web browser and try to use Webkey again. (If a browser window/tab had been used previously, the browser sometimes get as far as re-requesting credentials and asking you to [Login] without actually contacting the smartphone.)

This is a Catch-22 (that's not Webkey's fault). One solution is to confgure the Smartphone to keep its WiFi on _all_ the time no matter what ...but you may think that either uses up too much battery or generates too much heat. The only other option seems to be to pick up the smartphone and turn it on with your finger, then lay it down and use Webkey from then on.
[Android Apps and Games] eatblueorange:
Cannot initialize Mongoose context.

If you got "Cannot initialize Mongoose context." error and the service stopped, your port 80 might be blocked from your router. Just change the port in the webkey settings to any port that is open/allowed in your network. I used this tool to check for open ports http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/

[Android Apps and Games] SMS92:
Excellent app, very very useful.

One thing though - "Auto start service on boot" doesn't appear to be working for me. Someone else mentioned it back on page 4 (2 years ago) and the dev said it'd be fixed in a new release. Has it been fixed or am I missing something?

Running on a Galaxy 5 I5500 running Cyanogenmod 7 (GB 2.3.7). Has anyone else got auto start working on their setup or knows of another method of getting it working?

Cheers.

EDIT: RESOLVED! Problem is down to the app being on /sd-ext/ due to the way I have Cyanogen mod and S2E set up. When moved back to the phone autoboot appears to be working - the app runs "in the background" after reboot with no icon, which IMO is a good thing. A suggestion to the dev - perhaps an icon on/off option would be nice for a future release. Great work matey.

LAN-only is possible but tricky (and it's not Webkey's fault)

Yes. I'm doing it; I have Webkey version 2.07 running on an HTC Droid Eris with Android version 2.3.3.

Be careful though both to UNcheck the Webkey "Sync IP to DynDNS" option if you don't have Internet connectivity and to NOT use the option of vectoring through webkey.cc because the 3G network provider block some ports. Both these options are to make operation easier for regular phones, but do NOT work in a LAN-only configuration. By default the phone (and probably Webkey too) rely _heavily_ on reaching a DNS server. If your phone just appears to "hang" at some point, it's probably because it's trying to get a name-to-IP translation.

Also, quite apart from Webkey, phone operation Wi-Fi only LAN-only is fairly tricky. Many of the phone configuration defaults are wrong; the phone doesn't expect to be used that way. Make sure your phone works on your LAN _before_ you install Webkey, as the two layers of complication will just make it more difficult to find and fox the problems. I had to supply and use a complete "static" IP configuration (self address, router address, DNS server addresses, etc.). And I had to provide a DNS-like server of my own on my LAN (my server seems to speak DNS but in fact just provides name-to-address translations for all the devices on my LAN.

Even providing Wi-Fi-only access is trickier than it seems. You need a Wireless-Access-Point INside your LAN, and it needs to be _powered_on_ (that sounds silly, but happens disturbingly often). You probably need to configure the Wi-Fi password in your phone so it can connect through the Wireless-Acess-Point (often there are indicator lights on the Wireless-Access-Point that blink whenever there's activity, which can help a whole lot). You need to decide whether or not you're going to use DHCP, and if so have _only_one_ device answer the DHCP request (it's easy to mistakenly have both a router and the Wireless-Access-Point trying to respond to the same DHCP request). And every time you power down your phone and power it back up (or even worse reboot), the Wi-Fi is likely to get turned off (especially if you're using "Airplane Mode" to turn off the cell radio). You can use "Airplane Mode" to turn everything off, then turn Wi-Fi only back on ...but you have to do it manually again every time you restart.
[Android Apps and Games] JugglerLKR:
First of all upgrade to 2.09 - latest version on play.

Next - this is xda. Do you believe there are dumb people who don't know what dhcp and getway are?

And obviously phone works in LAN WIFI before testing.

Everyone is talking about internet, namely http access which block webkey from starting service in "LAN MODE" for some unknown reason.

so far i haven't been able to connect to the webkey server on my wifi network and i see allot of others are having this problem with many/all the android server apps they have tried, so i don't think it's webkey specific, but i'm not sure

i'm using the DanteRom on an Optimus S and and trying to connect to webkey over wifi from a wired client

i know the webkey daemon is running because i can see it when i browse to 127.0.0.1, but i can't access the lan IP from my laptop browser

also i cannot ping the webkey server from my laptop, but i can ping it from my router - so in essence, my router sees webkey, but my laptop does not
