Case: I have got a windows 8 tablet and have an app running on it. What I was looking for is a program or a mechanism through which I can be able to monitor all the incoming and outgoing http/https connections that are made by the app which I am monitoring. I am able to do it on the android and ios tablets, but not sure how to do it on a windows 8 tablet.
Is there anything (like an app or a logging program) that I can install on the tablet to monitor connections? Thanks.
You can use Wireshark or NetMon to see the traffic on the network. Neither will run directly on Windows RT, but that's not necessary. As long as you are running on the same network with the tablet you are trying to monitor, you can capture all the traffic you want.

I'm working on a Windows Phone 8 app. I'm developing this app on a Windows 8 Pro machine. My app is successfully hitting my back-end server. I need to do some debugging though. I turned on Fiddler and noticed no traffic was being logged (even though I know that some traffic should have been logged.) I then followed the instructions found here: http://www.spikie.be/blog/post/2013/01/04/Windows-Phone-8-and-Fiddler.aspx.
Unfortunately, traffic is still not being logged. I'm not sure where else to look to fix this error. I can see that traffic in my web browser on my desktop is being logged. However, any network traffic within the emulator is NOT being logged. How can I get this resolved?
I've ensured that "Allow remote computers to connect" is checked.
I used the prefs set command with my machine name.
Thank you

This is technical question to check the possibilities of the scenario. Is it possible to use Nokia phone's (Lumia, N9, symbain phone, S40) 3G data connection with a Android tablet pc?
Or any way to use phone's 3G data connection with tablet pc?
I have a unlimited data connection for my phone. But I don't use it that much. So I'm planning to use it with the tablet pc.
yep its possible easily if :
1. your tab is rooted
2. your tab supports usb host mode or otg mode (you could either check it on net or download usb host diagnostics) (just click start diagnostic)
procedure
Downoad ppp widget
configure your apn according to pc suite settings
then plug in your phone via usb on nokia pc suite mode
now wait 10s and click connect
you are now done
(pls switch your wifi off as ppp widget creates virual wifi for your tab)
any inquiries contsct rld0989#gmail.com (don't be rest less I only check my gmail once a day)
Yes, it's possible to use your phone as a modem, connected to the tablet via a USB cable, as long as you have
(1) an APN from your network operator to make a data connection via their network, and
(2) suitable device drivers for the phone. On Windows, smartphones are plug and play, but I don't have any experience using them with Android.
On the tablet, you also need some software to control the modem - something like the Mobile Broadband Connect 3.0 application listed on here
You can write a simple connection app yourself using the Android Telephony Manager.
Alternatively, you could connect manually, using AT commands with a suitable AT command program (in Windows, it would be Hyperterminal). This thread describes a possible equivalent for Android.
Standard AT commands to make a data connection are described in the 3gpp TS27.007 specification.
There are a lot of variations for different manufacturers, but making a simple connect should be possible using the standard commands.
Is it possible to make an application that provide communication between one Windows 8 (as a server for example) device and 'n' (> 1) Windows Phone 8 devices using the Windows 8/Windows Phone 8 Proximity APIs?
[Edit]
I mean simultaneously and using NFC to establish the connection and Wi-Fi or Bluetooth for data exchange.
According to this article : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/br241210.aspx, Wi-Fi Direct is not supported on Windows Phone 8. What does it really mean? Between 2 Windows Phone 8 Devices?
I think it would work according to the MSDN library :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/jj207060.aspx
This scenario works with Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 devices. When a tap succeeds, you get back a socket that you can communicate with the other device. On Windows Phone 8, this socket is established on either a TCP/IP (Wi-Fi) connection or a Bluetooth connection.
Any ideas?
I have made some tests with several devices and what I can say is the following.
A W8 device and a WP8 device can only communicate if the 2 devices are NFC capable.
Indeed, Peer Browsing is not supported between W8 et WP8 (according to my tests). But once the NFC connection established the W8 and the WP8 can keep the connection using Bluetooth so the NFC connector can be released (NFC does not support multiple simultaneous connections).
You can keep several live connections between a W8 device and other devices (W8, WP8).
What I achieve to do is:
1 W8 (NFC) tablet hosting connections.
1 W8 PC (without NFC) that connects to the W8 tablet using Peer Browsing (Direct Wifi).
2 WP8 connecting to the W8 tablet using NFC and Bluetooth.
The hosting device can keep a socket per connected device.
You just need to manage all the sockets to receive and send data.
Yes, you can communicate between Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 using the proximity framework.
On WP8 you'll need to set the following AlternateIdentity to your Win8 App full name:
PeerFinder.AlternateIdentities.Add("Windows", "<your Win8 app package family name>!<your app WP8 app ID");
// e.g.
PeerFinder.AlternateIdentities.Add("Windows", "NORADPublicAffairs.NORADTracksSanta_1.0.0.26_x64__bzcj0d5cg39gj");
On Win8 you'll need to set the following AlternateIDentity to your WP8 app GUID:
PeerFinder.AlternateIdentities["WindowsPhone"] = "{<your app GUID>}"
// e.g.
PeerFinder.AlternateIdentities["WindowsPhone"] = "{5b7ba36b-04fc-df11-9264-00237de2db9e}"
You can then use the proximity framework on both WP8 and Win8 to communicate with each other. NFC can be used to initiate a socket between WP8<->Win8 which should then use either Bluetooth or TCP/IP as the communication layer.
I've developed a Windows phone app which consumes some data from WCF Service. My app seems to be very slow in Wi-Fi on comparing it with 3G or LAN. I'm a new bee to both Windows phone app dev and WCF. I've verified a number of variables on WiFi bandwidth and connection. Wi-Fi looks good, but the app still slows down. So not sure where the problem is? Do I need to add any configuration to my service to avoid this? Or do I need to check my device? Can anyone help me to find out the cause?
I have had a similar issue. Seems like the 3G data and WiFi do not work smoothly when they're both turned on. Disable 3G data and only enable WiFi and vice versa.
This issue appeared for me after the 7.10.8107.79 update.
This bug have been reported to Microsoft and they are looking into the issue.
I am new to developing for the iPhone and would love some advice on an app i'm trying to develop.
Is it possible to send commands to an app on iOS 3.2 from OS X using AppleScript. The iOS app will display an image and run a small script when it recieves the appropriate command from the client software running on a Mac Mini. The devices would communicate over an a closed WiFi network.
Before I continue down this path does anyone have any advice on how to setup the communication (i.e. get the app to run in the background and listen on a designated port).
I don't know the full process but I know that various apps do this one way or another, such as 1password and desktop remote mouse apps. I think that CocoaAsyncSocket will help. An alternative to having the iOS app listening on a socket is to open a connection from iOS to OS X and then persist it. You can then send data either way through the connection.
