Like if I go to Starbucks or my work with an open wifi I normally connect to a VPN on my phone for encryption. Now if my watch connects to these will the notifications and stuff be open for anyone to see or is there some sort of encryption?

Hello to all,
Does anyone know of an application or service that allows you to take videos from your home computer and allow you to stream those videos on an android device without having to be connected to the same wifi network?
I've searched around, and the only options that I've been able to find are those such as Skifta, TVserity, etc where you NEED to be connected to the same wifi network as the pc with the files. Those options work wonderfully.
However I'm looking for something more similar to Google Music where you upload your music, and are then able to access your music anywhere, through the carrier network or through another network
Basically, I'd like to be able to watch (stream) the videos I have on my computer anywhere that I go, without having to fill up the memory on my phone
Any ideas?

I currently use TVersity. There is an option in the settings to assign a username and password so you can access the media server outside of the network.
Once you have set a username and password, you can watch the media on your server through a flash interface. To access your server you would type in the <your ip address>:<chosen port>/flashlib from a browser.
Another option if you do not have a static ip is to setup a service like dyndns so you have an easy to remember address such as <chosen name>.dyndns.tv:<chosen port>.
Hope this helps.
I want to be able to switch on my WiFi hotspot, connect a laptop to it, and move data to and from the phone's storage as if the phone was acting as a server. Is this at all possible? Essentially I want to use the phone as a portable server for computers that I service in the home for clients. I want to be able to access my tools and software and files by connecting the client's laptop to my phone's wifi hotspot and then browsing to the server on that network to access the files. Anything to make this possible? Thanks in advance!
You're better off using a flash drive and just plugging into the computers...
It'd be slow and cumbersome even if you could get it to work.
I can only plug one flash drive into one computer at a time. Would really like to make this work, if anyone has any ideas. Thanks
Is there a mod or other way to automatically disable sync when not connected to Wi-Fi? Or is this unnecessary?

Are you connecting to a device via Bluetooth for network access when wifi is off and that's why you don't want it syncing? If so you probably want to get Tasker and set it up to disable syncing when connected via Bluetooth. Otherwise, if you're not connected to the network at all it won't attempt to sync because there's no data connection to sync over.
Ive searched the web and read about countless issues about lollipop wifi. but im looking for something specific which i cannot find elsewhere:
on KitKat when connecting to a hotspot (or any wifi for that matter) it would instantly connect to wifi and switch to that connection, regardless if the connection gave internet access or not.
on LP it seems to remain connected to mobile data and wifi does not give an IP address until a hotspot is logged in (using the sign in to wifi notification)
the problem is it doesnt always show, is there a way to switch the wifi policy to not perform a soft handover? or does this need to be baked into a rom?
I have an app that auto-logs into wifi hotspots for me, but because it does not get an IP address and apps are not able to use that connection, it does not work as intended.
FYI i am NOT talking about wifi to mobile data handover, its the other way around
I am trying to send the accelerometer data from my moto360 to laptop (or PC).
I know that it is OK to send data to smartphone via SDK, however, I have no idea how to send data to PC or laptop.
Anyone can help?
Thanks much
Seeing as the watch's bluetooth connection is tethered, so to speak, to the phone, I believe you would have develop an app that relays the data from the phone to the laptop. This can be achieved either via bluetooth connection from the phone or WiFi. In other words, you'd have to use the phone as a "middle man" for the data.
Just to clarify even further:
Watch ----Via BT ----> Phone ------Via BT or Wifi---------> laptop
The "easiest" way would be to send the data to the app and have the app send it further to a server. If you want it display it in "realtime" I'd recommend pushing the data in to a realtime database like Firebase or something similar, and then have a webapp on the laptop to display the data. It won't be in perfect "1 to 1" sync with the data from the watch, but as far I know, it's the only viable one. This would enable you to track the data even when your not in bluetooth range of the laptop.
