It got foisted on me by work - emergency response is via whatsapp, other than that I have never used it.

That'd be the fun part -- as long as you can unspike them again, when you realise that half your phone doesn't work, any more.

oops - anyone want to buy a brick, nice slim brick going cheap hah hah.
Yah I could see that happening and I could see me doing it to some obscure service I didn't like the look of. I won't even root my phone because the temptation to remove some of the vast number of apps that seem to infest the bloody thing would probably brick it.

I root them when I need to get at stuff, then unroot them again.
The tools nowadays make it soooo easy.

I've got TCPView, NetStat, WireShark, and all the other usual suspects, but they're all numbers, buttons, and figury-outery things. I was hoping for the same kind of simple, graphical view, where you can instantly see how many connections there are to the Kremlin.

Ok, I see what you want now. I don't know of any existing software, but it shouldn't be too hard to write something

So, the funny thing about the android app is that for it to work, it needs to pass all the information that's being packet capped on your network to a third party for parsing to "make it pretty". That's not terribly secure, especially if said app was written by, say, the Kremlin (or NSA, whoever). Then they don't need to even snoop on your traffic, you're sending it all right to them voluntarily!

Shirley, but they're not the Russian government or an American corporation; they're a couple of guys in Germany, which makes them a tad (read: a Lot) more trustworthy.
Of course, when microsoft buys them out, that trust will be lost -- but the app will stop being useful, anyway, so it's an auto-resolving problem.

Hi All,
Walking back to the flat today I spotted five people in suits/smart casual having 'rows' or talking animatedly to what I hope were ear pieces / blu tooth microphones hidden about there garb. At least with larger ear pieces / wires you could tell the person was not an escapee!
Ho-Hum!

Perhaps they were talking to @Mike-Hankey 's psychiatrist?
Cheers,
Mick

Since when did a group of 5 people talking be considered "talking to yourself?" 
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

My favourite example of this was when I was walking down a street in Shanghai at about 2300hrs with the missus.
About 150 yards in front of us was a young girl, wearing a nurse's uniform (just come off shift, or something). We couldn't hear anything she was saying, but her gesticulations (we were watching from behind, remember) were absolutely hilarious.
She was obviously having a "discussion" with her boyfriend, and we could feel what she was saying, even if we didn't know the details -- arms snapping out, fingers waving, etc; but no-one else there!
We followed her down a road we didn't want to go down, simply because it was so entertaining.
Poor thing. We've all been through such "discussions", so it strikes a chord, when we see someone else suffering one.
