How to connect to android phone over 3g or 4g

Hello.
Does anyone know how to get access to their cellphone using the IP address from the wireless carrier?
I've already got SSH set up from the home wifi network. But I'm hoping to be able to do this over cellular. Any ides how to make that work?

If you meant having your phone run an sshd daemon, so you can use a shell with it .... Market has this: https://market.android.com/search?q=sshd

close...
that is what i'm looking to do. but for some reason i'm unable to connect to the device's ip address... any ideas?

Your phone's ip is a private ip address. TMO NATs it to a set of public ip addresses to go out to the internet. That's why you can't connect using your phone's ip.

Darn. I was really hoping to be able to get through. Oh well. Thanks.

One option to get around this is to use remote port forwarding via SSH. You can run an SSH server on your phone and then use ConnectBot on your phone to SSH into an SSH server on your home network. At that point, you can use remote port forwarding with ConnectBot to allow other computers on your home network to access the SSH server on your phone.

That's a very good idea. I'm going to try it in the morning. Very excited.

Hey ran across this sometime ago but didn't know an answer till today... but it's complicated...
1st~ it seems to depend on your service provider...
~ On Sprint I have been able to ssh into my device from a PC connected to a completely different wifi network using Putty on Vista home basic.
~ On Sprint I (with some great help from Almazick here at XDA) have also been able to run a LNMP server and connect to the sample web page and dbmin with the above mentioned network set up but with Chrome and Firefox instead of Putty (yeah that might be a duh statement for some but I don't want to lose ya reader, this stuff is cool ) you can find all the steps that that took by following the link in my sig that points to the XDA Guide I maintain and jump to pages (ruffly) 11-13+ and check the easiest ways to host websites off your device. And I'll eventually have a script and section in the main guide made so you all don't have to scroll through pages of our mutterings
~ Almazick, the person that I credit for getting me to do all this extensive testing, is not on Sprint and because of this has run into errors when trying to connect over 3G and or 4G. This leads me to believe that the issue is the network that your device is connected to.
~ Currently there are almost no other variables left that could be at fault. Both Almazick and I are using the same software and apps to test on.... but for those that have to know what the last variables to test is; hardware, we've got different devices and different service providers, and different PC's. All others have been eliminated or made identical or have been adjusted for.
2nd~ Root is required and if you want to ssh like us then getting Linux duel booted up will make life way easier for helping in the future.
~ Almazick uses Lil Debi and I'm a fan of Debian Kit, both can be found on the Android market place for free, and there are other options like QEMU and more but for this definitely start with Lil Debi and a 2Gb img file or larger (still working on figuring it out on Debian Kit) and follow the direction on page 11 or 12 for now.
~ or you could try downloading an app for ssh server (not client alone) and muddle your way through other guides on the web... I'll be testing/checking the possibilities for this but am not holding my breath on when that'll be ready
3rd~ accessing things...
~ running 'cd sdcard' and 'ls' was peppy and responsive
~ running programs or apps that use lots of data or memory can be ruff.
~~ Force closures happen when out of memory. So freeze or force close or uninstall apps that aren't needed if things like that start happening.
~~ things that use lots of data and or memory also cause much drain on the battery and if excessive wile plugged in can cause heat issues. So use a heatsink from an old computer and a fan and maybe pull the battery too and you can run a bit longer on the edge of what your device can do
4th~ all this is very "use at your own risk"
~ I haven't fried or bricked a device yet but things have gotten toasty so use some for thought and be careful.
Final notes;
I realize that this is a thread resurrection and not 100% directly related to your specific device. However, I offer a work around that should work for all devices* running root and Linux so we should celebrate and revel in the wonders of Open source and helpful people
*running on Sprint or WiFi if on another network then please try it and report the bugs to me on the main guide thread and I'll work with you and try to resolve it

SSH server requires a PC which must be always on but you can use a router since it's already running 24/7. If you have a router with SSH/VPN/Proxy capability then you can use router as a server. For example you can use a 3rd party firmware for your router if it is compatible with DD-WRT, Tomato or OpenWRT to run Proxy server, SSH or VPN. They are very easy to setup for this task.
Update: Just noticed it's 2011 thread. Oh well

Yeah I do that, been haunting the web for sometime now... I keep a personal log of questions I want answers to and when I find one that is solvable I go back to where I first ran across the question in the first place. Should have seen what the maptools teem thought of this kind of behavior; really motivational

It's yet again a server client based networking set up but instead of accessing files and folders (like with putty here on this thread) or accessing web content (like with LNMP on the other thread) maptools serves up a virtual table top gaming experience to those that connect in. One person sets-up* a game and then shares out the guest login info to their fiends, the guests log in and after a few seconds every one connected can see the changes that any other player takes. Kinda like virtual desktop but for roll playing games.
*set-up of the game is rather labor intense for the individual. Because they make an entire dungeon or world map, tokens to populate it, and libraries of macros so things are more point and click. When compared to running a normal tabletop gaming experience the labor is almost as intense, it's just not easy to share in real time over them internets.
Update 08312013- to help continue answering this question here I found this guide

my carrier is: vodafone
im using SetDNS with openDNS server
also using Dynamic DNS with a no-ip.biz hostname
installed ssh/sftp server i run it... used a ssh client to test it locally, and it works, so the sshd is working
but i cant connect to my no-ip hostname from my PC
here i have some doubts:
SetDNS says it doesnt detect a web-proxy, yet Dynamic DNS has a note: 'you are connected to the internet through a proxy'
what to do next to be able to connect remotely from my PC on ssh through 3g on my phone?
please help!

Well first double check the IP you're using or tracking with no-ip.biz ~ I would suggest using
canyouseeme.org
or an app like Network Info II
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=aws.apps.networkInfoIi
And ensure that the IP didn't change when setting up the first time around, this can happen at the worst times.
And if you're truly behind a firewall or NAT, such as with tmoblie, then I did run across this guide for getting round that last troublesome bit which likely will work for other service providers as well.

VNC over webtop

So I know that the Citrix server is available in webtop, but is there a way for me to VNC over VPN into my work box over webtop, because that would be the bees knees.

It depends on what your VPN method is. There's currently no TUN/TAP support in the webtop, so vpnc or openvpn is out.

Yeah it stinks. I tried VPN on the phone with it's emulated window maxed. Nope, just not that great an experience. A true WebTop VPN app would rock. We'll just have to wait and see if someone writes one.
-joe-

A webtop VPN would be a real life saver, it would enable a real working environment while traveling, and I wouldn't need to carry a cheap laptop as a portal.

User Android to put a PC to sleep over a network.

Hi guys,
Am trying to put a PC to sleep over a network from my sgs3. I can use vnc to do it but would like to be able to have a button on my home screen that does it for me when pressed. Is this possible? I have tasker but have no idea if that will help.
Any ideas would be great.

Take a look at unified remote for android.
You can install a free android version, it has power control to sleep/shut down your PC. Also if you configure your machine to support wake on lan (usually in the bios) this app can wake it up as well.

Cheers for the reply, I am trying to do this without the need to install more software on the server PC.
Is there any way of executing a batch file stored on the server from the Android device?
Cheers
Blinky.

What os does the server run? Fairly easy if it's linux as you could use ssh from your phone to run remote commands, if it's windows I'm not sure, I haven't found an android implementation of psexec sadly.

I think WMI gives you some capability. At work we have a script to gather data and it uses WMI to gather logs and Windows logs and registry keys from customer's machines.

Torrent app on unrooted shield

Has anyone been able to install a torrent app on a unrooted shield? If so which one because I have not had any luck sideloading any.

I used fluid to get a linux iso to recover my laptop so I could root. That should work fine.

utorrent works just fine!

A downloader. I just use the green "lite" version. http://android-a.com/

Hello there
I living Turkey. I ordered Nvidia Shield TV. I think next week will reach me. Can I install the external harddisk install non -Root the torrent.

Yes, try uTorrent.

uTorrent works, but I gotta do what I can not print to an external hard disk.

I use Ttorrent Pro and it works a charm. If you create a directory /Android/data/hu.tagsoft.ttorrent.lite or /Android/data/hu.tagsoft.ttorrent.pro on the usb hard drive (depending on your app version) you can select this directory as the save path in the app. I think the lite version also works.

hi guys
how to fix 'file too large ( write to disk)' error message in utorrent download?
im running on lolipop rom for my galaxy note.

tTorrent works fine and has remote control support (web and Transdroid).

Anyone try sideloading this on a Sony XBR55X850D tv?

I use Zetatorrent pro on a Nexus Player with an old USB 2.0 hard drive I had lying around(HDDs still hold up best to frequent writing) as adopted storage. I keep the Nexus Player in commission just for that and let the shield go to sleep when I am not using it. Besides that I only use it for storage eating Android games that don't require a lot of processing power. You might need a mouse to deal with some of the settings but any standard USB mouse will do. I use a wireless USB mouse for gaming on my Shield(despite NVidia's best efforts to make PC games controller friendly, some still just work better with a keyboard and mouse). A Bluetooth mouse will probably work too. Otherwise, I was able to control the client with the Nexus remote which is more simplistic than the Shield remote, but I seldom even did that. Just install transdrone on your phone and enable the web interface in zetatorrent. You can now browse and add torrents right from your phone and manage everything in an interface that's very friendly. Want even more? Zetatorrent can automatically copy the files to your NAS after the torrent is completed. I absolutely love that feature for this application

[Q] desktop remote server for Android

Any recommending kind of remote GUI desktop server for Android instead not using CLI (Command Line Interface) using adb shell.
Anyone using the openvpn on Nvidia Shield and Do I need rooted to use openvpn?
I wanted to use torrent client via remote desktop access my Nvidia Shield from my PC Windows 7 while not interrupt my daughter watching the show Netflix on the Nvidia Shield etc.

I would recommend using a seedbox!

Roger that, I noticed Reddit mentioned best way to get seedbox somewhere outside of U.S. Anyways thanks, I guess i'll go get Whitebox or Feral seedbox.

Has anyone set up a VPN application on the Shield? How well does it work? Any recommendations?
TeamViewer doesn't give remote control, just file-level stuff.

I used OpenVPN on my Nvidia Shield Pro, It worked fine as long as the VPN Provider give you the key and config file and however sometime the VPN disconnected then reconnect few times in an hour alone. Not very stable. I gave up because I don't want risk leaking E.g. DNS leak and IP address leak coming from torrent. Like @n1gh7mar3 said seedbox is best and safe. I will just wait whosoever make better ROM or UbuntuOS under MultiROM support for Nvidia Shield that something will provide a very stable and easy use VPN.
Where I live and my ISP spying my traffic. so this is the reason I asked and took @n1gh7mar3 advice.
