DX=>eXceptional, DB=>DisplayBad

Hi Peter, Zoltan,

First let me publicly give a long overdue "Thank You!" for this wonderful utility. I've used WebKey for nearly a year on my Droid-X(1) where it's performed beautifully! Having been a WinMo user in a previous life, I'd missed the convenience of SOTI PocketController and MyMobiler after moving to Android.

I was disappointed to find WebKey's (1.91) mirrored display garbled after moving from the DX to a Droid Bionic in early Sep 2011. In fact, I've found that all remote screen apps that I've tried (Remote Web Desktop, droid VNC server, ScreenCast) display video reminiscent of television that's lost its "horizontal sync". (I keep looking for the horizontal sync adjustment knob! Tell me I'm not the only one here who remembers these things? Alum foil on rabbit ears, etc?)

I've sent along these 2 framebuffer related files via email to you for analysis. But perhaps if others send along these files you will have a better base of data from which to effect corrections?

a. output from "htt p://<droid-ip>/FBTEST"

b. contents of "/dev/graphics/fb0"

Please let me know what else I can provide to help pinpoint the display glitch, won't you? And many thanks again for your great work!

Folks, am I the only one here for whom the DynDNS client doesn't work well in the newest version? Whenever I switch from a WiFi zone to other, or from HSPA to WiFi, the DynDNS client does not broadcast the IP. Looks to me that the DynDNS client is definitely rotten in the 1.91 version. The previous version worked very reliably.

very nice app!

sometimes with lag, i end up long pressing unintentionally, can i change a setting so a long press menu will only come up on right click? if not, can you consider this for updates. thanks.

for anyone with trouble with a non static local ip address, try static wifi app, very easy to configure and saves your router.

LG Thrill, great promise but no horizontal mouse position

I love it! I was looking for something like this and this works enough to be useful.

I am running 2.2.2 on the AT&T LG Thrill (LG-P925)

Unfortunately, clicking with the mouse to simulate a tap on the screen does not work well. I am able to swipe to unlock, but tapping on most of the screen (to press buttons or swipe left and right) does not work. Opening a paint program (in portrait node) I see that it tracks my mouse pretty well up and down but the input on the screen is always along the left edge, so I can only paint a line along the left edge of the screen even though I am moving my mouse across the whole screen.

I also find that it turns on the lighted buttons below my screen about every 12 seconds while I am logged in remotely, whether I have Auto Refresh selected or not. It happens even when I am not touching the phone or the remote control interface. This is rather distracting and it would be nice if it would stop. I have not yet found a way to keep that light on instead of having it always turn off after 4 seconds.

As others have said, I was also a fan of the similar MyMobiler for Windows Mobile. It was faster, but USB-only as I remember. It would be nice if the response could be faster. Maybe we could keep the last-sent bitmap and find a way to send only the portion of the screen that has changed?

On the AT&T data service I get a private IP address (10.*) but androidwebkey.com works fine. On Wifi, it works to go to the local IP address.

I some Java experience and I have now installed Eclipse but I have not yet gotten started programming for Android.
[Android Apps and Games] tobias.s:
Hello,

I downloaded webkey and it is really a superb application!

Had anyone tried the python script(androidwebkey.com/html/server_one_user.py) that is shown on the Webpage of the developer to build an own server? androidwebkey.com/html/redirect.html

I copied the python script in the cgi-bin directory of my webserver (chmod 755 and transferred with ascii not binary), at first try it worked for a few minutes, but now all I get is internal server error 500. Python is correctly installed on the Server and the #!/usr/bin/python at first line is correct.

Thank you for any Info.

Regards,

Tobias

PS: Sorry can't insert links as I am a new user to the forum.

EDIT: after searching the net I added a line in the Python script for diagnosis purpose:

import cgitb; cgitb.enable()

what I got is:

A problem occurred in a Python script. Here is the sequence of function calls leading up to the error, in the order they occurred.
204 clientsock.bind((HOST, PORT))
error: (98, 'Address already in use')
args = (98, 'Address already in use')

Here are some similar problems that I found (stackoverflow.com/questions/6380057/python-binding-socket-address-already-in-use), unfortunatly I am not a coder...:(

But I think that someone with experience in programming will find the Problem.

Thanks anyway.

Is there a way to code it so we get access to the camera? That would be a great feature to add. Maybe with a refresh rate of 30seconds so it isn't a real time thing which would be a bit much and probably require more coding.

Sending SMS

listen I am using your app to access the phone's GPS and GSM using C# i can obtain the GPS coordinates easily but when i try sending the sms, in a Motorola Milestone the C# code isnt Able to access the http:ipaddress/sendsms, but on the xperia arc it could access the http:ipaddress/sendsms and post the msg, but somehow the msg stays in queue and isnt sent unless i reboot my phone??? Is there like a pre-requisite flag to the queuing to make it send immediately

[Android Apps and Games] Haraldr Blaatand:
ARGH... Uninstalled and now I can't reconnect my phone

I uninstalled Webkey... but now I want it back. However, I cannot re-associate my phone with the web gateway (yes, I need the gateway).

I installed the latest. I tried a recovered 1.91 (Titanium). I then upgraded to the latest. And no matter what the service status was, the website reported "Phone is not online."

The log is not helpful... Except I was just mucking with things, I get the message "Cannot initialize Mongoose context," and the service does not start.

How do I re-establish my access? How do I figure out what is broken?
[Android Apps and Games] onyxogen:
It's not working on my galaxy nexus. I get a black screen only.

Dell Streak - upside down display! Some questions.

Howdy!

My apologies for not reading the whole thread - it's HUGE and I'm at work. :(

I've installed Webkey on my Dell Streak and I have no problems connecting to it, BUT the display is upside down! Clicking on the screen is opposite to what the display shows.

If I use the "flip" option, the screen displays fine, but the clicking is still opposite to where I click.

Basically, when I click on the display in my browser, the click occurs as if I rotated the phone 180 degrees.

This Streak is running Android 2.2.1.

Also, I have some general questions about Webkey...

- Is a server connection required, or does the communication just go over my wifi - directly between my phone and my pc?

- Is there any support webpage, other than this thread? This thread is QUITE long and I'm sure that folks are missing out on useful information because it's buried.

- Most of the remote control apps I've seen work similar to a VNC connection - streaming raw bitmap info, etc... Are there any apps that work on a RDP style connection? i.e. sending small commands to update the display instead of large bitmaps.

Thanks

Some Bugs

Hello, I'd like to start off by saying this is one of the coolest apps I've used and makes rooting my phone worth it on its own.

I have a Evo Shift running 2.3.3, so I only have a temp root but I've noticed a few bugs.

#1. I can switch from 3G to 4G without interruption, but if I switch back to 3G then Webkey doesn't recognize the new IP address and I can't log into androidwebkey.com/phonename, it just says "Phone is offline". I end up having to stop the service and then restart to get the connection back. It doesn't seem to be automatically acquiring the new IP and sending that info to the server.

#2. Sometimes when I go to the WebKey app all I'll get is a black screen or it will say "installing binaries" and freeze up. I can fix this but I have to force quit the app, remove it from SuperUser permission, restart the app and give it new SU permissions.

EDIT: I realize after a bit more reading not having a reusable user account/nickname on your server is just the nature of the beast and is done so for security reasons.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] rorytmeadows:
I love this app.

However, it worked great at work today, but now that I'm home, I can only connect through the website and it's slower.

When I start the service on my phone it will give the IP address connection https://192.168.100.576

But when I attempt to connect to that address in my browser from the same Wifi network, it just spins and doesn't connect to anything.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there a network setting I'm not considering?

I've even tried the external IP with a port that I set up with port forwarding, but nothing.

Edit: I have tried it through androidwebkey and it works, but it's a bit slow, hence my desire to get this working for IP direct. Again, I had it working fine on the network at work today.
[Android Apps and Games] saboture:
Great application. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] rorytmeadows:
Nevermind. It must have had to do with the whole Android DHCP lease stuff. I shifted my IP range, essentially killing the existing IPs, then reconnected with new IPs and it worked for my phone and my tablet.

Love the app, use it every day.

a couple of questions and issues.

I've got a HTC incredible 2 running a custom sense 3.5 rom.

The menu button in the browsers dosn't seem to work, either in the graphical window or the list of buttons on the side. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Also, I have my phone mounted on the wall at work, and play music with it all day. I keep a browser window opened on my computer to control it, mostly volume and track skipping. I would like something a bit smaller than an open browser window, something like a desktop widget. I see you can send commends using HTTP digest. I was able to download curl and send a few commands from the API examples in the FAQ. But I don't know enough about programming to go any further.

Does anyone have any creative ideas? Ideally I'd like a desktop widget of some type, or even just bind a few hotkeys on my keyboard to the most used commands. Can anyone point me in the right direction for getting something like that done?

Again, thats for the app, love it!

My phone is a Sony Ericsson Xperia Play with 2.3.4 Android system. I tried with different browsers under different network conditions so quite sure the problem is not due to the network and client, but the Webkey application running on the phone. After going through this thread I found no one mentioned any problem similar to mine.

I already tried the latest test version from androidwebkey.com but no improvement. Appreciate for any suggestion!

Red Tint and Menu Button on Galaxy Note

Just want to say thanks for this app. I used it to help a visually impaired user. It's great, but I also have the problem with the red tint on the "Phone" screen. Also I can't seem to get the Menu button to work. ATT Samsung Galaxy Note.

Also (probably unrelated): I set up a reverse tunnel with ConnectBot, and it generally works OK IFF I stay on the phone screen. If I wander off trying too many of the other functions (such as Kill App, or List Apps, etc.) not only do those functions not return any data (the list just shows "loading") but the ConnectBot service then seems to go into a 100% CPU loop. Only solution is to reboot the phone (which is handily done by typing "reboot" into the terminal function) :)

I'm guessing this is a ConnectBot bug; not sure. Thanks again for your work.
[Android Apps and Games] M@rshy:
I'm trying to get it to work. I try to start the service and it just keeps working for a minute then disappears, nothing.

[Android Apps and Games] Aqua1ung:
Just wanted to signal a minor ICS issue on my i9000M: After reboot, the WebKey icon doesn't show up in the status bar, despite that this option is enabled in the settings. Webkey works fine (service is active), only the icon doesn't show up. Opening/"maximizing" WebKey brings up the icon, which then stays in the status bar even after "minimizing" Webkey.

I am sure, on the other hand, that the devs have way more important issues to grapple with... :)

Hi,

This software is doing great but i have some weird issues going on.

After some time of inactivity, i would not be able to connect to the webkey. I would have to restart the service on the physical tablet for it to be connected again. Is there something i should set to keep the service port running?

Unable to start Webkey

Hi Guys,

Love your app, but having troubles. Not seeing much out there on forums. Says installing binaries every time at launch, then freezes and have to force close. I have a rooted HTC Evo 4g with Cyanogenmod 7.

When I used to be rooted only with stock image, it had similar trouble. However, I was able to get it to run long enough to get in settings and tell it to run as a service at startup. As long as I left it that way, it would seem to work ok vs trying to start it manually after startup.

Let me know any other info I can provide.
