WiFi Analyzer has helped me diagnose a couple of wireless issues.

androidVNC and ConnectBot are two of my must haves. Also KeePassDroid.

Answer 3

1. CIDR Calculator for network masks

4. MAC Address Search for finding offending network card vendors HP/Sun/DEC and so on.
5. And Chat for IRC
6. Android VNC
7. WHOIS
8. WiFi Analyzer
9. RPN Calculator
10. ConnectBot - For SSH.

Answer 4

If you use Nagios, nagroid, nagmondroid, or aNag.

Answer 5

• KeePassdroid
• Overlook Fing
• Wifi analyzer
• RDP
• GTech Net tool

Answer 6

I would replace ConnectBot, and use 'VX ConnectBot' - it's based off of ConnectBot, but much more reliable, IMHO. For example, on my Droid-4, I can't enter in special characters when I 'su' to root with ConnectBot, but with VX ConnectBot I can. There's also some other nice additions that make this an absolute must have app on my Android Phone.

On another note, by having a physical keyboard, I get a lot of screen real-estate back, which is especially useful with any Android SSH app. Having a hardware keyboard is also a must have for me, being a SysAdmin..

Answer 7

ConnectBot and Wifi Analyser are both great, even if connectBot is more useful on a daily basis.

I've been also using a lot the Citrix client, which I find great and user friendly. With the help of some published apps, an Android can become truly awesome !

Answer 8

Nagroid is a must if you monitor a lot of equipment.

Answer 9

ConnectBot is a must.

Answer 10

RDP software from Xtralogic.

Demo video "Full Windows 7 on Android Mobile Phone (Nexus One)" on YouTube.

Answer 13

• Decaf Monitor allows you to monitor the status of your publicly accessible server from your phone - your phone does the checks. Will alert you if your website goes down for example.
• Connectbot because it allows private key based login
• KeePassDroid because it supports version 1.x and 2.x databases
• Dropbox because it allows you to sync all your strongly encrypted stuff to your phone
