Not working on samsung captivate

when i open the webkey app and click "start service" it hangs for a second then nothing happens. I have "keep alive connection..." checked. I clicked "username at server" and made a username, it returned "Username is registered to androidwebkey.com"
[Android Apps and Games] honnt:
LOVE THIS!

Couple of issues, running custom 2.1 (SyndicateROM) on a Samsung Epic 4G:

Call list, SMS and GPS do not seem to work.

A request that may already be possible, but need specifics, is to be able to start/stop the webkey service via intents.

I want to do this via Tasker (which is my OTHER favorite Android app), and with the two of these tools....WOW...possibilities are nearly endless! ;-)

Thanks again, and let me know if I can supply other information to help.
[Android Apps and Games] morapeter:
On some phones the location of the command chmod differs. Please try this apk:

http://androidwebkey.com/html/webkey/test/

We are working on the next release. Not everthing is ready, but this should work.
[Android Apps and Games] morapeter:
The START/STOP intent is at the top of our todo list. That's not a difficult exercise, but we have to do some authentication check (we don't want Webkey to be started and stoped by any other program without the authorization of the user).

Please write me an email about the GPS. That should work.

I'll do the SMS and Contacts when I'll have time. There are two kind of database, and we are currently supporting only one of them. I had some problems reading the non-english characters from other type, and I haven't finished it yet.
[Android Apps and Games] mookiedockee:
Thanks so much! The new version worked fine when I clicked start. Appreciate the work and look forward to using it

Uploading problems

The music and picture files I keep trying to upload on my Droid X are uploading instantly and showing me the incorrect file size as a single digit. They're clearly not recognized as .mp3 or .jpg files, because my phone says it can't open them.

I just downloaded that test apk you linked, and it's doing the same thing. :/ And it's weird because I can log on easily, my sdcard shows up and everything.
[Android Apps and Games] honnt:
That's awesome to hear! Re: the GPS, you want me to PM you here, or ??

What other information would you like?

Thanks again!

this is what my browser looks like :(

Why does it look like that? My phone is a HTC Wildfire with CM7 and LCD Density set to 105

Unlocking screen

Here's a question: if the phone screen is locked, how would I unlock it using WebKey? I'm using the screen where I have to draw a 4-point pattern. How would I do that via WebKey?
[Android Apps and Games] Kuma-sama:
Hi Dev, been trying to get webkey up.. my issue is that whenever im trying to access the phone using web browser either directly or through androidwebkey website I will be requested multiple login to the point of unlimited times.... all the screen projection seems works and i do manage to press the menu button from the browser. but it seems that every action I do on web browser will trigger enter password on browser.

Updates: On other network it seems doesn't request multiple Login. Try to find what's different between these 2 network I use.
[Android Apps and Games] ultima888:
Not sure did anyone have this problem:

After I flash CM7, webkey still connect to my browser, but I no longer can control my phone in the browser, but other function like moving files to SD card still work. Anyone has this problem?

Using CM7 Nightly, Chrome browser on PC, using in LAN with wifi.
[Android Apps and Games] weirder:
Heyhey,

Looks perfect. Tried installing it on my samsung galaxy S but It doesnt work for me.

Not able to login directly, nor through androidwebkey.com. Username registered though. wich leads me to believe there is a connection going.

Tried connecting to 127.0.0.1 via the phones browser, but this showed the message: "Couldnt reach the indicated web server. Couldnt reach the indicated web server."

Dont know if that tells you something.

Next tried the testversion, wich did the same. Then i couldnt start the service anymore :confused:. Rebooted, didnt help. Uninstalled, reinstalled the market version. No dice. Doesnt work anymore..

any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] weirder:
Odd, reinstalled the test version and it starts again. Note that I am on wifi I can connect to loopback on my device, when I switch to my mobile connection I get the the same error again.

Is this an android thing?
[Android Apps and Games] Phateless:
Just discovered this app and I am absolutely blown away! Wow and thank you!

How secure is it though? I'm a little concerned about that...
[Android Apps and Games] morapeter:
I was busy these days, sorry for the slow response. I found a bug, could you try the upload with the new apk (named webkey_01_29_2011.apk)? It was broken in Firefox, but it should work now.

http://androidwebkey.com/html/webkey/test/

We are finished with the new functions for the next release, and doing only testing.
[Android Apps and Games] morapeter:
Please write me an email, and I'll send you a prepared apk (which will write to logcat a lot). My email is morapeter, and of course, the end is gmail.com.
[Android Apps and Games] morapeter:
Please write me an email. This is about the 10th phone where the framebuffer works differently, I'll be able to fix it remotely. I'll ask some files from your phone, and send back an apk for testing.
[Android Apps and Games] morapeter:
I can unlock my phone in the browser. Can you click and drag on the screen using your mouse? Or the phone's screen remains dark whatever you do?
[Android Apps and Games] morapeter:
Please write us if you find the solution. Many people complained about this, but I can't fix it because I don't have this bug. Maybe it's browser-dependent, or a proxy modifies the http stream somehow, I don't know.
[Android Apps and Games] morapeter:
Could you send the output of the following address?

http://your phone's address/touchtest

It will list the available devices. Webkey guesses the right device (using their names, properties), maybe their names were changes. It might help to solve the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] morapeter:
Strange. Webkey should start without any active interfaces. Could you try to start it using adb:

adb shell /data/data/com.webkey/files/webkey

or in a terminal emulator (like Better Terminal)

su

/data/data/com.webkey/files/webkey

It might tell you an error.
[Android Apps and Games] morapeter:
Please try the new apk:

http://androidwebkey.com/html/webkey/test/

this is the release candidate for the next release (or wait a week for the next release). It support SSL for direct connection (we have some problems using SSL though our server). SSL uses an encrypted channel between your browser and your phone.
[Android Apps and Games] morapeter:
We have a release candidate for the next release:

http://androidwebkey.com/html/webkey/test/webkey_01_29_2011.apk

New features:

- no more user admin, you can request a user registration in the browser and authorize it on the phone

- SSL connection for direct connections (we have some problems when the connection goes though our server, it's hard to find out which phone the user wants to connect when the channel is encrypted :P, maybe there's a workaround using secondary domain addresses)

- localisation to Hungarian, Greek, Spanish

- lot of bug fixes, let me see: injecting key events, uploading files, using terminal emulator, phone specific screenshots, rewritten user management, etc.
[Android Apps and Games] keefles:
This app seems useful for sound system setups run through the phone.
[Android Apps and Games] Sokudoningyou:
That's no problem, everyone can be busy sometimes. :D

Anyway, I tried your newest test release again. And now I can't even get on; androidwebkey claims my phone isn't even online.
[Android Apps and Games] morapeter:
I see. Could you write me an email about it (morapeter, and it ends with gmail.com). Have you tried with different username? Do you use Wifi or a 3g internet provider?
[Android Apps and Games] Aqua1ung:
See attached screen shot: How do you unlock this?

Edit: hey, you're right, it worked! Cheers dude!
[Android Apps and Games] morapeter:
I'm happy for that!
[Android Apps and Games] mcnally32:
was working fine a few days ago but not my mouse will only unlock the phone, won't click anything else after that.

Great program i'm gonna donate!
[Android Apps and Games] morapeter:
Could you send more details? I would be interested what kind of rom do you use. What is the output of the following address:

http://your phone's address/touchtest

I prefer email to forum. My address is morapeter, and the end is gmail.com
[Android Apps and Games] morapeter:
The new version 1.9 of Webkey is on the Market!

Feel free to contact us if you want to translate it to your own language.
[Android Apps and Games] mcnally32:
Sorry never got back to you only seeing this now, can't help you because 1.9 is working GREAT.
[Android Apps and Games] paincorp:
I can't start webkey 1.9. i tell it to start service and it says working, but then just comes back to the main home page and still says service is not running at the top...i am rooted.
[Android Apps and Games] constellanation:
I have one feature request. and not sure if it's even possible. But I'd love to be able to remotely start this app (preferably not by mms/sms)

Other than that, this is a really phenomenal app!
[Android Apps and Games] morapeter:
Could you try to start it using adb (using a USB cable):

adb shell

then type in the terminal

/data/data/com.webkey/files/webkey

OR in a terminal emulator (like Better Terminal)

su

/data/data/com.webkey/files/webkey

It might tell you an error. We are not the best in writing log messages, but it should print out something.
[Android Apps and Games] morapeter:
How would you like to start it? There are active and passive ways to do that.

Passive: We would be able watch for a new SMS/MMS, but then we would need permission for that, and each time you got a message a part of our Java code would run to do the check. Webkey might start because of an intent, that could work, but then you need an other program to start it.

Active: Or Webkey might watch something on the internet, but in that case it is already running.
[Android Apps and Games] constellanation:
sms/mms might work, I use this app primarily on a phone that only has wifi (no sim)

I could use google voice for mms I think. If it could be started by email (doubt that's even possible, that would be best) but honestly I'd be happy with anyway to remote start the app.

Thanks for the quick reply!
[Android Apps and Games] Phateless:
Could it be triggered by imei or mac address? I'm thinking of phone is lost or stolen…

Webkey

Hi....this is my second attempt at using webkey and its a lot better now....however, when I type in the text box, the letter 'm' is not registering on my device but shows up in the text box in the browser page....
[Android Apps and Games] morapeter:
What is your phone's type? I'm interested in the text which is written in the browser under the menu with small font, before the uptime.

I'll be able to fix it easily.
[Android Apps and Games] paincorp:
i would love to see bluetooth support added in, when i'm using this at school the network load bogs it down and att doesn't let me connect over 3g
[Android Apps and Games] morapeter:
I can create a TCP/IP connection between two computers using bluetooth, but I haven't seen a solution for that for Android. You might be able to use wifi (either the phone connects to a wifi access point, or the computer connects to the phone's tether wifi), or use a USB cable (a port forwarding can be set up with adb).
[Android Apps and Games] paincorp:
usb would be preferred, how do i do that?

nevermind, found it in the first couple pages
[Android Apps and Games] kim_capo:
I'm using the last version dated 2011-Jan-30th but the service is not starting at all. I have root but when webkey starts it doesn't ask for root access. No log is written.

I also tried a different port.

My phone is Samsung Spica, Froyo, CyanogenMod-6.1.1

Any hints?

edit: the first time I had installed the new version with the old running in background.I uninstalled the old and installed the new one and it works!

Great app, BTW!
[Android Apps and Games] paincorp:

phone not online

I am using HTC desire HD in the UK on orange. The app is fantastic, well impressed. The problem I am having (it works on my wireless network) is that through 3g connecting times out using dyndns or trying to connect using IP. I tried androidwebkey but the message comes up in the browser saying "phone is not online". This is a real shame and am hoping there is some way to trace it, ie, debug why it is saying that the phone is offline when it isn't.

Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Good work on this app. I hope I can get it working properly

:)

Edit: I am using cyanogen 6.1.3 desirehd by the way, in case that info would help

Edit: the log reports no errors, the log in webkey that is, an attempted connection doesn't register. I think that the connection times out using androidwebkey but "phone not online" is just the default message for a failed/timed out connection.

Edit: not sure why this is happening because I reckon most other people must be behind a router of some kind and that is what androidwebkey is designed to deal with. When the dyndns sync option syncs it syncs my internal IP assigned by my router which of cause is not the idea, is this a bug? If it does that with my wifi connection maybe it does the same with my orange data connection, in all honesty it probably does. I have dyndns app installed and it does the same.

That doesn't explain why androidwebkey doesn't work because as has been said my phone starts the connection so androidwebkey doesn't need to resolve my address because my phone starts the connection. Odd
[Android Apps and Games] Troden:
Amazing! Best app ever!

Works just like it sais. havent had any issues at all with it on my Desire HD.

I was worried it might not work when on wifi at home or office as then it has a LAN IP vs a IP on 3g but alas nope it works a treat, 3g or random wifi. Way less buggy than VNCServer for droid.

Thanks for your hardwork, lookin fw to future updates.

Edit: Oh 1 question.

Ive had to flash my rom several times in the past day or 2 as i sorted out a few issues. So in turn everytime i have installed Webkey i have had to select a new username as the previous one is in use. Do the old usernames expire after a x amount of time or is there a way to use an exsisting one, ive had to create a new user name every reload.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] LayZeeDK:
Data usage

What's the approximated data usage for this app?
[Android Apps and Games] userxx21:
Still no joy with mine though through androidwebkey, it still says phone is not online, shame.

I have been able to connect to phones 3g connection using SSH forwarded by my computer to my phone which is pretty neat and more secure though not as automated but neat non the less.

Just need to find some way for my phone to initiate the SSH port forwarding automatically and I'm done. Not sure how to do that though, obviously some sort of script would do the job which is my next mission.

Great app though, well impressed, well worth a donation which will be coming when I can.

I would still like very much to connect via androidwebkey aswell so if anyone does have any ideas why that doesn't work for me please let me know.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] ultima888:
So it seems I'm not the only one. Basically same config as you, N1 cm7 nightlies.
[Android Apps and Games] morapeter:
Sorry for the late response, I was busy these days. Please try webkey_02_25_2011.apk from http://androidwebkey.com/html/webkey/test/ . It might solve your problem if you have a Dell Streak. Please let me know how it works.
[Android Apps and Games] morapeter:
I know about this problem, I also tried to fix it remotely (I had several emails with users). I haven't given up, still trying to fix it.
[Android Apps and Games] morapeter:
Please write me an email. I'll ask some things, such as your nickname at our server.

I'm think the problem comes from the following: some internet providers filters the users' internet connections through a http proxy. The communication of Webkey is not a standard http connection when it uses our server. It also tries to use port 110 (it's the pop3, because we have already had this problem in the USA, and it solved that problem), maybe that's blocked at your internet provider.

The phone has only one active network interface. When your wifi is on, then you won't be able to connect to it using 3g (at least my old G1 works like this). That's why we sync the internal address, because you can use this address at least at home.
[Android Apps and Games] morapeter:
Here is my common answer, I have no good solution for the problem.

"It has a security reason: the protocol is simple and someone could write a program that connects to our server pretending itself to be your phone, the next time you want to log in, the attacker would have your password (you would connect to his/her program instead of your phone). To avoid this your phone generates a random string at the first time you install Webkey, and use that secret random string to identify itself to our server. This random string is generated only from time, and it's not related to any private information such as IMEI number, it's not saved on the sdcard (where every application can read it). So at the next install you will have to use a different username, because the previous one is connected to a random string which is now unknown. Again, I'm making exceptions, write me an email."

So if you send me those usernames, I'm happy to reset them. After

that I suggest that you should save the file

/data/data/com.webkey/shared_prefs/com.webkey_preferences.xml

it contains the random string (that's important). And restore that

file after installing the new ROM and Webkey.
[Android Apps and Games] morapeter:
Short answer: it should be small if you switch off the screenshot.

Long answer: if you don't use it, then it only listens. If you check "keep alive connection", then it keeps an alive connection to androidwebkey.com (sometimes reconnect). It's only a couple of bytes in every hour.

Sum of all the htmls are 100 kb (no fancy animations so far). The screenshot of my phone (320x480 pixels) in jpeg and half size is 7 kb, in normal size and png (it mostly depends on the screen's content) it can be 150 kb. It updates for every movement, but at least once in a minute. Contacts, messages, calls are 100, 100, 100 kb on my phone.

I hope these helped.

Can't "see" the phone on androidwebkey.com

Webkey runs fine on my HTC HD2 with Cryogen Mod7 rom. Just bought Motorola Atrix and loaded the 03-02-2011 apk. The service starts and I am able to login to androidwebkey. The problem is that I can't see the phone's screen!

I can make calls, open the browser, etc. The GPS tab, SDCard, and Files works too.

I tried various checked box combinations (auto refresh, low resolution, half size, use only first framebuffer, PNG) but still no picture of my phone. Couldn't find sny similar situation on previous pages.

Any suggestions?

Regis
[Android Apps and Games] brandon15811:
I can't get the service to start up, but I just tried taking a screenshot with the screenshot app, and that didn't work either. Maybe something changed in the framebuffer access?
[Android Apps and Games] Zb134:
Thanks for the app.

I have some issues accessing the phone over 3g. I am unable to connect using androidwebkey.com/username... its says phone's not online.

I am able to connect using my IP address on the phones browser itself (http://xx.xxx.xx.xxx) but not on another computer. I am guessing the 3g provider is blocking the connection. What can I do about this?
[Android Apps and Games] dancer_69:
I just tried webkey and I the sceen doesn't display well.

Feedback for Vodafone 945 aka. ZTE Joe

Thanks for the nice work!

I found webkey while searching for "take screenshot vodafone 945"

Spent 5 minutes, read the page, downloaded, installed

Gave nickname to my phone, created a user for myself

Opened browser from WiFi, login success and I saw the attached screen..

..but service stops unexpectedly everytime immediately after login authentication+1 second

I tried it on a Nexus One. The clicking is not working with the CM7 RC1, but it's WORKING with CM7 RC2, so I suppose everything is fine and problem solved :)
[Android Apps and Games] CrusherJoe:
I second this. I'm having the exact same issue, using the 03-02-2011 apk. I'm guessing there's something "off" with the Atrix/Webkey combo.
[Android Apps and Games] FernandoMiguel:
Best Android app ever.

Congrats.

Any plans on allowing cert login instead of password?
[Android Apps and Games] Superfrag:
Fantastic app! I use it on my Nexus S running 2.3.3, and it works flawlessly!

Only one question, I can't figure out how to simulate the Enter key press to do the same action as the Enter key on the phone's keyboard. For example in a chat app, it should send the message when I press Enter on my computer, but doesn't happen. :(
[Android Apps and Games] NoTolerance:
I have a similar issue. Maybe you can provide more information on keymapping?

For example, when I hit the period key on my PC's keyboard, the phone/webkey interprets it as a 0. Or Shift+1 produces a 1 instead of an exclamation point. I'd like to understand how I can map the keys so they work as expected.
[Android Apps and Games] jgsteinmetz:
I'd be very interested in this functionality as well. I've already got a Tasker profile setup to aquire the best possible location periodically, write it and some other data to a KML file and upload it via dropbox when a specific text string is received via SMS. Being able to also start the Webkey service at the time would be great.
