PCAPdroid VS android

PCAPdroid (version 1.6.9): No-root network monitor and traffic dump tool for Android devices

PCAPdroid mitm (version 16): Mitm addon for PCAPdroid

https://github.com/emanuele-f/PCAPdroid is very good, shows content too (for http)

There's also PCAPdroid [1] which you can run straight from your phone with no root. Works with https traffic too when you enable the mitm setting.

Also whenever I mess around with http stuff I like to use tools like Fiddler Classic (PC) and PCAPdroid (Android) to know what I need to do vs. what I'm sending/requesting. With this you can perform the desired action manually while capturing all the packets of that action with headers. Then when you replicate the functionality, you capture the packets again and compare both to verify that your code behaves identically/similarly to what you manually did.

Try PCAPdroid. It'll show the app as well as the destination IP.

PCAPdroid (version 1.5.1): No-root network monitor and traffic dump tool for Android devices

I'm rather fond of PCAPdroid, just leave everything to default and start monitoring. Ideally you should only see ~100b be sent via netd and nothing else if you are not using your phone (and disabled background update checks in say NetGuard, Firefox, etc.). It takes up the VPN slot so be aware of that.

PCAPdroid should do the same thing

Nextcloud Dev (version 20231202): Synchronization client

Unfortunately, I can only second this. The absolute basic functionality, meaning file storage and access through a browser, works fine. However, as soon as it comes to integration, things fall apart, and it's not even terribly complicated stuff. For instance, I used Nextcloud to automatically upload photos from my Android mobile, and this has been completely broken for over 2 months now, and nothing is happening (see https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues/11974). It's pretty clear they simply do not have enough staff to maintain all of the clients, and I'm just rsyncing my stuff now...

However, there are some longer standing issues with uploads that seems to only impact a small subset of people. It's generally blamed on different versions of android handling background processes and permissions differently. There doesn't seem to be one single cause, or one solution, other than what's suggested in that issue.

Nextcloud dev (version 20221220): Synchronization client

The corresponding issue on Github has been open since 2016 and even though there are a few hundred dollars bounty exposed, nothing is moving there.

It seems that this is still not supported by Android app - https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues/603
