About Network Info II
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 (aschillings.dev@gmail.com) 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.

New version doesn't display IP address unless you press IP, which sucks. Make it show it at startup like last version. Thats the main reason I use this.

From what ive gathered this is the only app that has access to see my device phone number, every time i connect it to my computer with this app running i am getting a call from some guy out of jakarta claiming to be with "windows,norton,google,avg,apple,hp,dell, or paypal" im getting tired of this guy calling me, as he has my phone number from ilegal means. The horassment needs to stop as the person on the other end is really shity at his ability to lie. Phone & comp were formated so there are no viruses.

I've used Network Info on a Nexus 5 and now Network Info II on a Nexus 5x. It's a nice app, but I think it may have a discovered a device specific issue with these Nexus devices. On both, it reports the subnet mask as 0.0.0.0 while on a friends Samsung android phone, it reports it correctly. Other than that, well done.

Will tell you what you need to know about the network you're on. And that's the job it's supposed to do. Ergo... five stars.

The information it provides is very useful, but it only reports on on sim in my dual sim phone, so I can't check all network details.

Been using this app for a week and it was showing that i am connected to a tower that is about 1 mile from me (I believe that it is correct )but it's now saying that im connected to a tower about 4 miles away, even if i press the refresh tab, ,,something doesn't seem right...ok just reinstall, now working, would it be possible to download a database so it could be used off line if there is a update. .good app

I've been using this for several years on several Android platforms and it's been great. Trying to contribute again brings me up against the Playstore run by mental midgets! Trying to tell me that i was declined at my Bank which had no evidence of an attempt to do a transaction. Google's moronic! Latest update on purchasing this: after placing funds in playstore credit, that too is declined. FOR WHAT REASON? COUNTRY OF ORIGIN? I PURCHASED IT BEFORE.
