Android :: Do Profile-based Apps Exist
Jul 9, 2010
I'm very happy with how my Hero is set up at the moment, but there are a couple of apps which would make my life a lot easier, and conserve my precious battery!
Location based profiles using wirless location (and not GPS) I'd love to be able to arrive at work (or within 1500 meters of work) and my phone recognise this and switches on wifi, turn itself to silent, or choose a more suitable ringtone. I know that there are a few apps out there that use GPS to trigger, but this really kills my battery. I also know that wireless location isn't that accurate, but I'd only need ball park triggers anyway.
Time based app to kill certain features/apply airplane mode I've got Silent Time Pro, which switches my phone to silent at my bed time, but in an effort to conserve battery, is there an app which can also turn off wifi, GPS, auto updates and/or switch to airplane mode at specific times?
Does anyone have any recommendations for these, or do they not exist yet? Is it just me, or would these be quite handy apps?
If they don't exist, does anyone have a recommendation for me to set these profiles up manually, and maybe trigger them by means of a shortcut/widget? Obviously auto activation would be better, but I'm really trying to cut down on recharges, as it seems that my phones forever flashing orange at me!

I am about to embark on the ROOTING journey for my new Droid-X, and wanted to know if there was a way to backup the phone so that I could get it back EXACTLY to where it is before the rooting. If not, is there a way to get it 100% back to factory default settings? I haven't really customized it yet, so if I break it during rooting or BRICK it, I know there are UNBRICKING steps posted already, but I want to make sure I don't end up with a FUBAR phone during this process, or afterwards.

I am trying to establish Bluetooth connection between an Android device with other mobile phone over Handsfree profile. I am using following code -
Code:
private static final UUID MY_UUID = UUID.fromString("0000111F-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB"); // UUID for Hands free profile
// Some code...
// Get Bluetooth Adapter.
m_oBluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
// Some code...
// For paired BT device, getting a connection established.
[code]....
I can create RFCOMMSocket using above code.
Now I want to send AT commands based on Bluetooth Hands-Free profile. e.g. If other mobile phone receives a phone call, my Android device can reject this call by sending AT command- "+CHUP". I am not sure whether this is possible or not.
At this point, I am stuck. I have read Bluetooth APIs where I found -
Code:
BluetoothHeadset.ACTION_VENDOR_SPECIFIC_HEADSET_EVENT
Can we use this Intent for sending AT commands? Is this a proper way to send AT command based on Bluetooth Hands-Free profile?

My rooted device is shared. I already set-up multi-user profiles for each of us:
1-Family mode
2-My mode
How is possible to switch profile based on lockscreen pattern?? example: "pattern1" triggers My mode while entering "pattern2" triggers Family mode.
So I will have certain apps automatically blocked when in family mode (hides some applications, sms, calls, and/or maybe starts a blacklist?) But unlocked in My mode
Is there a way to do this? or is there an app/hack that can closely do some of it?I don't need exactly the multiuser feature. but at least a way to start an app or two (maybe a blacklist, lock gallery/other app) with the pattern2 of the lockscreen.

I'm trying to find a messenger app (or apps) that supports at a minimum AIM and Yahoo that *IS* SMS-based. Everything I can find on the app market is data based, and the lackluster battery life on my new Droid Incredible means I can't have an always-open data connection. I do, however, have an unlimited text messaging plan, so incurring SMS charges is precisely zero concern of mine.
Yes, I have a auto task killer. Yes, I know about eBuddy and its power-saving feature, but I hate the fact that messages might have an unacceptably-long 15-minute delay.

I'm trying to sell my phone (galaxy S4) that has a certain application on it that has now been removed from the app store. The profile I use on there is obviously my personal profile so when I sell it, I want to remove any trace of it while still keeping the app... Is this possible? If so is there any trick to doing it (I don't want to risk trying to just put a new profile on there and losing the app).

I have my app in the market which is mainly for US based people as I dont have the database that is required for any other country.
So I am wondering if it is possible to restrict the app to be visible to and downloaded by only US based users.

I am looking for an app to do the following things. Change ringer setting when getting a call from a certain number. i.e. Turn the ringer on when I call it from my google voice number in case I loose it.Also, to run a script when connecting to a specific wifi network.I believe Locale can do at least the first one, but I was wondering if there were any cheaper apps to do this as I have no interest in the gps features of locale.

As the title says i'm new to the Android community, and i don't have much experience on the development side either. but i am very interested in getting started. I see that Android apps are based off of Java... So would it be better for me to learn Java before getting started with the SDK and eclipse? Or is it just the same to jump right in on App development and learn on the fly?

I have a few Android devices and I play around with them quite a bit - flashing ROMs, etc. - and there's one thing that tends to irk me: When setting up my Google account on the device, there's the following checkbox:
Bring apps, settings and other data that you previously backup up to your Google account
Is there any way to limit this to settings and other data? I've used a TON of Android apps, and there are many, free and paid, that I have no desire to use again. I know a more robust solution (Titanium Backup, etc.) is better, but I'm not always running with root and I'm not looking for extremely-fine-grain control. I simply want to skip installing apps I haven't used in months! I know I could simply uninstall the apps, but there are a ton. I'm willing to uncheck the box if I can get a clear understanding of what I'll be missing if I don't sync. I don't have much time to experiment with it at the moment. For example, I don't remember if known wi-fi networks are synced (compare to Windows 8, which does - if I remember correctly - along with tons of other data)

I'm looking for an backup application which will allow me to backup my apps and system data on roms based on stock ICS and restore to JB and vice versa.
Titanium backup does the job but after restoring on a new rom I get a lot of fc's and none of the apps works. I cannot restore call log and text messages, accounts, etc.
There's a lot of backup apps, I know. But I would like to be sure that they work as they should. Any app which will do the job?

What are some iPhone or Android applications that use SMS as their primary means of user authentication?I'm interested to see such apps in action. SMS-auth seems like a natural approach that is well-situated to mobile contexts.
The basic workflow is: to sign up,a user provides a phone number; the app calls a backend webservice which generates a signed URL and sends it to the phone number via an SMS gateway; the user receives the SMS, clicks the link, and is thus verified and logged in. This results in a very strong user identity that is difficult to spoof yet fairly easy. It can be paired with a username or additional account attributes as needed for the product requirements.Despite the advantages, this does not seem to be in much use - hence my question. My initial assumption is that this is because products and users are wary of asking for / providing phone numbers, which users consider sensitive information. That said, I hope this becomes an increasingly more commonplace approach.

I'm having trouble with something that works in the Notepad example.
Here's the code from the NotepadCodeLab/Notepadv1Solution:
CODE:.................
This code seems to work fine. But just to be clear, I ran the adb utility and run sqlite3 I inspected the schema as follows:
CODE:...............
All seems good to me.
Now on to My App, which as far as I can see is basically the same with a few minor changes. I've simplified and simplified my code, but the problem persists.
CODE:..............
When I run my app, I get a RuntimeException and the following prints in LogCat from my Log.e() statement:
LogCat Message: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: column '_id' does not exist
So, back to sqlite3 to see what's different about my schema:
CODE:.................
I don't see how I'm missing the '_id'.
Can anyone point out what I've done wrong?
One thing that's different between my app and the Notepad example is that I started by creating my application from scratch using the Eclipse wizard while the sample app comes already put together. Is
there some sort of environmental change I need to make for a new app to use a sqlite database?

I saw on http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/security/security.html that my app can declare a permission:
.....................
However, what if com.me.app.myapp is not yet installed on the device?
[a] I tested with "adb install", and Foo was installed on the device without incident. The only thing I see is "W/PackageManager( 62): Unknown permission com.me.app.myapp.permission.DEADLY_ACTIVITY in package com.foo.Foo"
[b] if I upload Foo into Android Market, but the user has not yet installed "myapp", will he be able to see Foo in market?
[c] if the answer to [b] is yes (I really hope so, or else it will be a major bummer ...) what message will the user see regarding com.me.app.myapp.permission.DEADLY_ACTIVITY? Since the description of this permission is declared only in "myapp", without "myapp" installed, will the user just see the name of the permission, which probably doesn't mean much?
If [c] is true, would this be a weakness to the Android permission system/Android Market? As long as I can fool the user to install my app first, I would be able to gain permissions that the user would not have otherwise granted me (had he known the true nature of such permissions).

I already have a home replacement app (tried out a few and settled on ADWlauncher for the time being.) I'm wondering if there's an app that (in a similar way to a home replacement) would replace the actual calls function of the phone, I find the 'slide to answer' very annoying as I often miss it - and navigating the call log and contacts list from within the default phone app is very annoying. Is there anything like that? Also is it possible to change the colour of the notification bar? I'd prefer if it was dark blue (or at least a darker colour) to fit in with the theme for the rest of my phone. (On the Moto Milestone 2.1 if this makes any difference)

Currently I use the desktop app quicken to track all my expenses. More and more I'm relying on my android phone to do my daily tasks. I have been searching and reading for weeks now trying to find an app that suits my needs and so far I haven't come up with what I need. Many come close but so far none can provide all three of my requirements. So, does any one of you l33t android users know of an app that can meet these three requirements?
(1) Must be stand alone - If it can sync with a desktop app like quicken for example, that's great but it shouldn't rely on that to function.
(2) Supports downloading bank data directly - My bank (USAA) supports just about every connection method. Every app I have tried for every phone that has this feature has been able to connect to USAA and retrieve my transactions without issue. Downloading to a file and importing manually is not an option.
(3) Must support recurring / scheduled transactions - I want to be able to plug in my monthly recurring bills and have some way of viewing my future balance as the bills hit. Quicken does this with a bar graph and a calender. Either one would work. The biggie (Mint.com) is great but doesn't support the third requirement even though hundreds of people have posted, asking for this feature (guess no one is listening or acting on it). Quicken doesn't have a mobile app. Splash money doesn't have an Android version. Ascendo Money doesn't have an android version. Seems like everything I have found is 2 out of 3.. I don't see how my list of 3 is asking that much?

A couple of months ago I decided to jump on the Android bandwagon, starting with the Incredible then moving on to the Evo. Everything was going well, life was good, then Apple announces the iPhone 4! I watched the keynote in total awe and drooled when Jon I've explained how glorious the "new" iPhone was and how it will "change everything again." Then the dust settled. The iPhone 4 will be a great phone, however it doesn't offer anything new to me. Virtually all of the reasons I used to justify switching to Android still exist!
My take on the iPhone 4:
Excellent build quality (HTC should take notes)
Fantastic screen
Up to 32 Gig memory
Integrated Video Chat/Conferencing (Wifi Only)
Very thin
It's purdy
Pseudo multitasking
Glass back
For $25 month you can get 2Gig xfer
Here's why I STILL prefer the EVO on Sprint:
WiFi Mobile Hotspot (Saves me $30 per month over my Verizon MIFI)
WiFi Mobile Hotspot allows me to hop on my laptop or my 6 year old to stream Netflix on the iPad!
Sprint TV
Unlimited data baby!
4G
Text to Speech
Speech to Text
HDMI out
8 Megapixel w/dual Flash
Replaceable battery
Turn by turn directions
Voice search
I can VPN to my work computer
3G coverage! I paid $30 per month for Edge on the iPhone! Sprint offers 3G!
Ability to video chat over 3G/4G (Been using Fring)
Ability to transfer files via FTP to my host account
I can select an app to install without being kicked out of the Market!
I have the ability to create ringtones on the fly. No need to pay an additional fee to iTunes to "convert" a song.
Live wallpapers!
Built in radio
I've found the Amazon MP3 store to be much cheaper than iTunes. For example, Fray's "The Fray" is $9.99 on itunes vs. $5.00 on Amazon MP3!
Flash Lite
I can rotate my photos
I can expand my memory
Sprints plans are cheap as hell compared to AT&T
I can email photos at full resolution
How many times have iPhone users purchased an app, only to be disappointed? On the Market, you have 24 hours to test drive. Don't like it, full refund.
Notifications
Widgets
In all honesty, both phones are mind blowing. Look at the big picture and select what phone/service will benefit you the most.
