Network Info II for Android APK

Description

2.1+ version of "Network Info"

Donate version available, buy me a coffee :)

Shows info about the phone and the current network, Bluetooth, IPv6 and Cell connection.

It also shows your public/external IP & hostname.

Only goes on-line to get and resolve the public IP via my own server http://aschillings.co.uk/myscripts/getip.php and to remotely resolve it (see notes below). Initially the application was also using whatismyip.org but, as the server seems to be constantly down it was removed.

No ads.

>> Information shown <<

-Device IP and hostname, both private and public.

-Current mobile Cell and any neighbours, along with their signal strength, location info and type.

-IMSI/ IMEI.

-Information about the current mobile provider (MCC+MNC, current connection, etc.)

-The Android device unique ID.

-Full information regarding the WiFi connection (MAC, current SSID and BSSID, link speed, IP/Netmask, Gateway, DNS and DHCP servers, etc.)

-Your current location according to Android based on your network neighbours. No GPS is needed or used.

-Information regarding Bluetooth status, the current Bluetooth connection(s) and info about past pairings.

-IPv6 device and router IP addresses for all device interfaces (see notes, this should now work for everyone).

>> Notes <<

-This is an expansion of the 'Network Info' application, to support more phones based on the 2.1 Android API.

-I only have a GSM/UMTS phone. If anything funny happens on any other phone type, email me and I will try to fix it.

-This application will connect to the network only to fetch your external IP/Hostname (using http://aschillings.co.uk/myscripts/getip.php and http://aschillings.co.uk/myscripts/gethostname.php). No other information is sent (my policy is located below).

-Please email me about any bugs or features you want. I cannot see all market comments and I am not notified when someone does comment.

-The IPv6 part should now work for everyone. If that is not the case for you, please email me ([email protected]) so I can try to fix it. If possible, download 'Under the hood' from the market and send me the results via export.

-If you want to show the Vendor which owns a MAC address, download 'MAC (OUI) Database' from the market (it is one of my applications) and use it to download a copy of the OUI database.

-In version v0.5.2 I added remote hostname resolution which is your public hostname as is resolved by my server. It should be the same as your external hostname, unless there is a record propagation delay or your DNS server is lying (like some home routers which resolve their external address as a local hostname). My server is hosted by 1and1 so this will be unreliable if you use the same DNS servers.

-'Ext. Hostname (L)' is the hostname your device resolves your external IP (local resolve).\n

-'Ext. Hostname (R)' is the hostname my server resolves your external IP (remote resolve).

-'Field Test' is a hidden application which comes installed in HTC phones. The menu item will only appear if the 'Field Test' is installed in your phone.

>> Known Issues <<

Samsung devices do not display Neighbouring Cells. This is a problem in Samsung's Android implementation and there is nothing I can do.

>> Privacy Statement <<

I do not collect any information which can directly and uniquely identify and/or bind a user to a device or any other personal information. When you retrieve your external IP address, my server will log a standard website "hit" which is the same as if you browsed a page on my server using a browser. No other information is logged or kept.

Please email me with any bugs/problems/feature requests. I cannot reply to market comments which can make debugging difficult.
