General :: WiFi Mouse App Contacting Chinese Servers In Background
Dec 29, 2013
In my efforts to track down a wake lock that was eating battery, I installed Network Log. I found s something a bit disturbing. WiFi Mouse by necta.us, an app in Google's app store to let your touchscreen act as a mouse, Would
A) not exit after pressing back and hitting "yes" to exit but rather,
B) continue secretly running, making occasional contact with various servers in China. Overnight it contacted 15 different IP address, all of them Whois showing as a variety of Chinese companies with different names and address blocks. Sometimes it would use port 80, usually 224, 226, 226, 227, 228, or 230. This would happen at least every 15 minutes and some of the transfsers were up to 9.7k in length. After exiting, none of the traffic was to my wifi mouse server application.Some of the IP blocks included:
119.161.221.218:226
110.173.1.68:228
42.51.12.84:HTTP
I understand there are legitimate reasons for an app to do this. Perhaps checking a license. But this is downright scary and excessive, especially since it continues after one "exits" the program. My next step will be to install shark and take a look at the packets' contents.
Edit: installed es task manager to kill it, but it's not running. Somehow it's being signaled or on a timer. Next stop is systemcleanup to take a look at its activities and permissions in detail.
Edit 2: had to force stop it, it was running but not showing up in task manager. It's permissions include reading and modifying usb storage and of course full network access.

I got myself a Chinese clone of a galaxy S3 (alps 7102), it has Android's Jelly Bean 4.1.1 operating system on it.
It keeps on changing its wi-fi mac address on reboot which I guess I could put up with, I have seen other posts with similar problems on varying phones and have tried to fix it, as per the methods described for them, but I cant seem to get a fix that works, for my phone I am not very familiar with the android operating system but have some experience with linux.
The phone doesn't seem to have a bootloader as I have tried to boot the phones bootloader with the adb command "adb reboot- bootloader" from my pc but it just boots as usual, I have done a factory reset to the phone as per the instructions from the ebayer that I bought the phone from but that didn't fix it (as you might have guessed) but it did reset the phones serial number to 0123456789ABCDEF which I have no idea why that happened but has added to the issues that I would like to be fixed.

In my previous phone Samsung Omnia I could set up mouse pad to be up/down, loft/right highlight/move mode or I set it up as a full mouse capability with the little arrow that I could move just like a computer mouse. Is there a way to set up the full desktop like mouse capability on the Incredible?

I have an app which relies on a 3rd party service. I usually have about a 75% retention rate and good ratings all around. The other day the service my app uses had some technical difficulties. This caused my app to FC for many users and unfortunatley those are usually the customers that rank an App. I would like to contact the customers that purchased that day to explain what the problem was. Is this allowable by Google Checkout Terms?

With 3 different devices, an lg thrill, a nexus 7, and a Samsung infuse, over 2 different routers, a netgear and a Linksys with dd-wrt And using 3 different apps, twonkyserver mobile, Imediashare, and playto. Using any combination of above, why why why do the servers keep disconnecting after 45 minutes or so?
I've tried the keep WiFi alive apps and they dont solve the problem.

I was interested in purchasing a shield for my droid incredible. will you be making these anytime soon? if so could you tell me when they will be for sale or notify me? contacting SGP customer service.
We are expecting it to be back in stock by end of this week, if not by early next week.
If you have any more questions, please feel free contact our customer service department again at sgpstore.com@gmail.com.
I got this reply from them but what confuses me is it says we will have them back in stock, i didn't know they ever had them in stock to begin with. must have been a typo.

I got a Samsung Galaxy S4 last week. My home internet provider (Bell Aliant) seemingly does not allow SMTP relays from my wireless provider Koodo (Telus). Outgoing email does not send when I am not connected to wi-fi. I've seen this problem mentioned several times on the forum but never a 100% solution. iPhone email client allows 2 SMTP servers to be specified. Are there any android email clients that allow this?
I have a temporary solution where I have the native email client configured with the Bell Aliant SMTP server and K9 configured with the Telus SMTP server. I receive email to each and send from one or the other based on whether I am connected to wi-fi or not.
K9 allows you to configure the account twice but email still comes in twice and each email shows up twice in the combined inbox

My guess is, it is through GoogleBackupTransport.apk (/system/app/GoogleBackupTransport.apk) ?
I had a look at Google's Developers Guide to Backup , but it is unclear if this applies to the backup of WLAN passwords as well, nor if the mentioned "backup transport" is indeed GoogleBackupTransport.apk.
So, if I remove GoogleBackupTransport.apk, my WLAN passwords won't be uploaded ?

First, my phone info: Galaxy S2 I9100, ICS 4.0.3
My question: How do you restore app data from Google servers after a factory reset?
When I upgraded from Gingerbread to ICS, the phone warned me I would be losing all my data. Fortunately under "Settings - Back up and reset" I had checked the "Back up my data" as well as the "Automatic restore" options. When I completed the upgrade to ICS I not only automatically retained all my app data, but I didn't even have to re-download any apps. All my apps I had on Gingerbread, along with all the data, had been successfully and automatically carried over to ICS.
Recently I've been having issues with my home button. After rebooting and some other troubleshooting, I decided to factory reset my phone. Again I made sure the "Back up my data" and "Automatic restore" options were checked. When I completed the factory reset it was like I just powered on my phone for the first time (OBVIOUSLY this is to be expected as I performed a Factory Reset).
Under the "Automatic restore" check box it states "When reinstalling an application, backed up settings and data will be restored". So I began to download and reinstall the apps I had before. The problem is NONE of the apps restored with the data I had backed up to Google servers. Did I do something wrong?
I'm a bit irked because I believe I received the exact same "you're going to lose your data" warning when I upgraded to ICS AND when I performed this recent factory reset. The difference is when I upgraded I got all my stuff back, so I figured after the factory reset, when I reinstalled my apps I'd get the data back too. I think it's only fair if Google really WILL restore data after an upgrade, but NOT restore data after a factory reset they should annotate that in their warning. Also maybe include a statement like, "After performing a factory reset you will not be able to retrieve app data from Google Servers. We recommend installing a third party app to save your important app data." But instead you get the same warning with two different results.

I have an SGS2 with the latest ICS release (rooted). I work with two companies supporting sync with the exchange server (2010) on a smartphone.
I can set up both exchange servers at the same time. The first day the both work, but on the second day one of the two (so far always the same) start giving me connection errors, and will no longer sync emails.
I am almost sure that the problem is that for security reasons, both want to have their security policy (admin privileges etc) enforced over my phone, and when they re-check daily they find that the policy is not as they want it. to overcome this?

Has discovered a way to rid of mouse acceleration in android?
Here is a good explanation of what mouse acceleration is:
Without mouse acceleration, the movement of the mouse and the movement of the crosshair will be 1 : 1.
With mouse acceleration, the movement is based on speed. Meaning, if you move the mouse 1 inch, slowly, it'll move one distance. If you move it still 1 inch, but fast, it'll move a lot farther.

I'm getting a Note 8.0 soon and was wondering if I could get a mouse with this. I'm buying a Bluetooth keyboard for sure and was wondering if I could use both at the same time. So my questions are:
- Can you use any Bluetooth/wireless mouse on this tablet?
- Do you prefer Bluetooth or wireless?
- Can I use both at the same time?
- Will using both at the same time eat my battery?

Any list or link to a list of keyboard and mouse commands for our tablet?
I have a bluetooth mini keyboard* with a built in mouse and I would like to be able to control my tablet from my couch while it is connected to my TV's HDMI. However, I cannot figure out how to do basic tasks with the keyboard. The keyboard is this type: [URL] ......
Also, I'm not sure if the commands are tablet-specific, Android specific, or if they even exist at all. (I have searched XDA and Google, but because I do not know exactly what keywords to use, I am coming up without answers!)
Shortcuts I mainly need:
1-3) The three icons in the lower left of taskbar (they don't appear through HDMI): Back, Home, and the Prev Apps
4) Change homescreens/swipe left and swipe right (I can long click and move the mouse to do this, but it is difficult to do with my mouse since it is a knob type)
5) Long hold
6) Any other commands... heck, let's make a database if it doesnt exist already!
In case it matters: I am using ICS 4.0.3 stock (with root).

I know that a tablet is best used via the touch screen, however I intend to connect my Android Tablet to the TV to watch movies and TV shows from the comfort of the sofa.I've just bought a wireless mouse which works with my Tablet, that is until I want to watch movies or TV shows.
While sat on the sofa, several meters from the TV and Tablet I can control the Tablet with my wireless mouse. No great shakes there but my problems start when I want to watch movies or TV shows. If I watch anything that I captured with my camera or Tablet I can control the aps by bringing up menus so that I can press pause, play fast forward or rewind.
However when I want to watch a movie or TV show I can not find a way to bring up a menu so that I can select pause, play forward or rewind. The only option I get is that when I right click I am kicked out of the movie/TV show and back to the general menu of all my available movies and TV shows.
why I can access playback menus for home produced video but I can't with movies or TV shows?

Is there any way to use the Wiimote as Mouse-emulator on Android? I want a mousepointer on my screen that I can move by moving the Wiimote (using the IR sensorbar). When I press A, it should emulate a touch to where the mousepointer is.
I couldn't find a single app that would emulate a computer mouse with the Wiimote. I just know there are plenty for Windows.
I found something: [URL] ..... It says that my device (Sony Ericcson Xperia Neo V) is not compatible with it. Is there a way to make it work anyway? My device is rooted and still has the preinstalled Android 2.3.4.

I have an AT&T Captivate with teamhacksung's build 13. When I connect the BT mouse I only have "Back" and "Click" buttons functioning. I used to be able to do "Back", "Click", "Menu", "Search" from stock froyo. Is there a way to redefine the buttons or add additional function?

For windows, you can write a program which moves the mouse pointer and sends keyboard/mouse clicks. Is the same possible in Android?

I have my desk setup with 2 monitors and an Android Tablet sitting in its dock right next to that. I have been doing some research and found a lot of apps that allow you to use the tablet as a monitor for your computer. But that is not what I want to do. I was wondering if there was a way to setup the tablet so that I could move my mouse over from the monitor onto the tablet and control the Android Tablet with my computer's mouse and keyboard in the Android environment. So this way I can run things like Calendar, Email, Hangouts and other apps with my mouse and keyboard just by moving it over from my main displays like I can between a primary and secondary screen.

I have an Iconia A500, running with Jelly Bean / rooted, Cyanogenmod 4.1.2 from Randomblame.
So far so good. As most of you know, this device supports bluetooth mice and USB mice. I am using both kinds of mouse quite often for working in office tools or for the good old ScummVM games.
Every mouse I use only has the left click function. Right click does the same as left click. Is there a possibility to configure the right button? In Office I would like to get the "long press" instead, in the ScummVM Games I would like to get the "default action", wich is highlighted on touch.
If I can configure directly in Android or if I have to use an app.

I've got a cheap Speedlink bluetooth mouse from eBay and it works fine with a PC; it pairs up nicely with my Desire HD (running RCMix3d Runny v1.3 ROM) too.
Oddly however, the icon in the 'bluetooth settings' page is not of a mouse, it's an icon of a keyboard.
Pair it up and there's no mouse pointer; move the mouse to the right and the homescreen moves to the next screen - left and you go to the left screen.
Seems my mouse is recognised as a keyboard, oddly enough only emulating the arrow keys. When running Cyanogen 7, it was recognised as a mouse - so what's different here?
Is there anyway of jimmying Android to recognise my mouse as a mouse and not a keyboard?

I've obtained a Samsung Galaxy S3 from a Chinese vendor (live in China). It seems legit (weight, size, runs Chinese (no-market) Android 4.1), but upon starting it with volume down, I don't go into download mode but into something called "factory mode". A blue menu with the option to run tests. When in factory mode and connected over USB, Windows 7 recognises two devices: MT65xx Android Phone and CDC Serial. It doesn't have drivers for it.
I've found some drivers online but they aren't recognised as the right drivers for those two devices. Result is that neither Heimdall nor Odin will be able to communicate with the phone to install ClockWorkMod. It only seems to have a standard Android recovery which does not accept my CyanogenMod Rom file (Invalid OTA package, Update.zip is not correct).

It has come an Star A3 to my hands, with Android 4.0 and among all great things of IceCream, few Chinese apps I want to get rid of
the phone is rooted. I have flash the recovery 592zn.com_recovery_Star_A3_MT6573.img with Mobileuncle tools (included in the mobile originally) and done a Boot/System/Data/Cache Nandroid backup
Apps I want to eliminate :
Baidu input (and add the standard input keyboard)
own Chinese launcher (I have already install LauncherPro, but I would love to get rid of the Chinese one completely)
UC xxxxx (some Chinese browser)
Root Explorer (Chinese version, to be able to install the English one)
ICS 4.0 (also Chinese version)
a Chinese flash-light
a Chinese dark/light switch screen
a Chinese version of the configuration menu
so, basically to keep a clean Android. how to do that ?
I have installed:
[URL]
to be able to mount the nandroid img files in windows7-x64 but I can't see anything, it ask me to format the unit (?) similar with Daemon Tools .

I've been running UD 1.0.0 since the day it dropped, when I installed it I was on vacation and wasn't using my droid much other then playing around with the setting and some internet browsing, like all good things my vacation came to a end at work my phone is used all day texting, incoming and out going calls all day, listening to my scanner app. That's when I found out UD 1.0.0 wasn't going to work for me, I have two batteries and by the end of the work day ( 8-12 hrs) one battery would be dead and the other down to 20%.
I tried different kernels, running only the basic's (no GPS, no WiFi no background light) still got the same results. UD 1.0.0 is a great ROM, but it just doesn't gel with my droid. So I'm back to UD 8.0 with slayher's 1100 kernel set at 800 mhz (1380 quadrant)and the Black N Bold theme running smooth and fast with no problems at all. Best thing is after 8-12 hrs of phone use texting and listening to my scanner I still come home with 20% - 40% battery without even using the spare.

I'm facing a connectivity problem in my IM-client for a long time already, but still can't find out how to fix it. Found a similar bug report here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2059 except PowerManager.SCREEN_DIM_WAKE_LOCK didn't work for me :(
So here is the problem: when device goes idle, wifi is being kept connected for some unpredictable time(1-20 min), but then established connection brakes and here is what i see on the ddms console:
CODE:...............
And "-1" is coming on read() from input stream or SocketException is raised. Then my app is trying to reconnect and sometimes it's successful almost immediately, but sometimes it takes more than 2-3 tries to reconnect(WifiMonitor logs reconnects again and again) with 10 seconds timeout.
Preventing some advices - yes, there is a PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK and wifilock held by my app, but as i can see this is not enough.
