I'm searching for some messenger with strong privacy and "secret" features. Better explained, I've found Telegram as a good alternative to Whatsapp with its encryption features, but it lacks one thing that I really need: I'd like to keep some chat very private: it will be very useful if the conversation had some kind of PIN-password-pattern unlocking features.
This is possible for sms (Handcent, for example), but I haven't found it in any Messenger service.
Any apps out there that mimic the swipe features in windows 8 for Android? Like left edge cycles active apps, bottom edge menu, top edge to bottom kills app, etc?

As a result, I have decided to make scripts to allow non-SGS4 phones, using Tasker, to get the same cool benefits. Some of them are pretty darn cool! Anyhow, Ill be posting the scripts as I get them done. You can then import them into your phone, thus giving you the same great fun. If you want to make your own scripts, you are welcome to post them, and share with everyone else.

I want to use the voice call function of this USB dongle with my Android tablet but unfortunately can't. When i make a call to the modems phone while it is attached to tablet, i have the dialing tone on my cellular. But tablet doesn't seem to detect the call and it has no response. Also my tablet has no usable phone features (Phone, SMS and contacts functions are not presented).

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a samsung galaxy grand and I so like it but I am quite disappointed as some of its features aren't working. For instance, the automatic feature for making calls. The instruction says that if you put the device on your ear, it will automatically prompt you to contacts where you can make calls.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter I "upgraded" my OS to 4.2.2 using the auto-upgrade feature on my Samsung Galaxy Grand GT-I9082, I've lost a huge number of features, including the following. Unfortunately, I didn't note my original OS, nor have I taken any kind of backup of it (not that I know how to!).
SETTINGS
- Multi-window option has been disabled, and the multi-window toolbar has disappeared.
LOCK SCREEN
- Camera, Gmail and one more App that were available as icons on the lock screen are no longer available.
CALL SCREEN
- Earlier on receiving a call, I could send a message with several pre-set options such as "I'm in a meeting", "I'll call you later", I'm driving", etc. This is no longer available.
PHONE
- "Favorites" option has disappeared. This is a BIG inconvenience!
- When I go to "Phone", I always get the "keypad" page. Earlier, I used to get whatever page I was last on (keypad / logs / favorites)
- The text size has mysteriously (and unnecessarily) increased, in the "Logs" page.
CONTACTS
- "Favorites" option has disappeared; I can't mark any contacts as "favorites".
- Long-pressing on any contact would give me several options, including sending contact details to anyone by message. This, and many other options, have vanished after the upgrade. At present, there are only three options: 'Edit', 'Delete', and 'Add to Group' in the main "Contacts" page, and only 'Remove Member' when viewed in the "Groups" page.
- The number of data fields in each contact in 'edit' mode have drastically reduced. Most importantly, due to removal of the "Notes" field, I have lost all the info I had entered in there: miscellaneous info that didn't fit into any other field.
CALLING
- When a call is being dialled or is in progress, I can't turn on the Bluetooth because the button has been removed from the 'Call' page. Earlier, I could quickly turn on the Bluetooth and switch to it even as the call was being dialled or was in progress.
S PLANNER
- The number of fields in each event in the calender has been drastically reduced. Most importantly, I have lost the ability to set reminders, as the 'Reminders' option has been removed. I can set events, but not reminders for them.
- The left button on my phone (the 'options' button) has no functions in the 'date' and 'event' pages.
GALLERY
- I can't rename folders in the gallery any more.
- More than half the options (available by pressing the left button) have disappeared.
WIDGETS, APPS & OTHER FACILITIES
- The "Alarm" widget has been removed, and I really miss it. Now I have to laboriously open the 'clock' app, scroll to the desired alarm and activate it. Earlier, I had set three or four commonly used alarms in the widget and I could set them directly from my desktop!
- Earlier, if I long-pressed the right-hand button ('Back' button) of my phone, I got a hidden pull-out menu that contained the icons of a whole lot of useful Apps that I could access quickly. Also, this pull-out menu permitted multi-windows (splitting the screen between two different Apps). This pull-out menu is no longer available.
(b) Download & restore a better (not necessarily 'higher') version of Android on my phone?
(c) Backup my OS, or set a restore point, as can be done in PCs (if that's possible)?
It looks like Android won't natively support in-app purchases for a while, and when it does there might be a huge user base with devices that don't support them.What's the best way to implement iPhone-like (additional content or services) in-app purchases in Android using the Android Market if possible?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to do something similar to that of the android lock screen pattern. I have a class that extends a view that I create multiple instances of. These appear on the screen all at once.
I need to be able to click on them individually and have each one turn green individually, however only one on touch listener is listening at once and it belongs to the last dot which appeared, so if I click anywhere on the screen the last appeared dot turns green no matter where I click.
Here is the code for my dot class:

CODEE:..........
where do I put this in my code, do I have to create a new class for it, or can I have it in an inner class, or does it not need a class at all?! I have a set up similar to Lunar Lander which comprises of two files, one of which is a thread that handles pretty much all the physics and drawing of the game. The other file begins the thread and saveInstanceState method. Furthermore, what type is mLibrary?! I cannot find out anywhere! I imagine I will put the OnGesturePerformed method in my thread as this is where I handle all keyUp and Down events.
I am required to work on an application which is be deployed on devices running Android 1.5. The application is supposed to maintain a connection with a server and regularly poll it for new data. The server will notify the client of new data following which the client will connect to the server and download the data.I know that ideally a push based approach will be more conducive here given that we are to run this on a mobile platform. Also, from Android2.2 there is going to be support for C2DM(Cloud to Cloud device Messaging) but as already mentioned this application is for devices running Android1.5.Implementation: I was thinking of using AlarmManager which would Broadcast Intents periodically(poll interval), The Broadcast receiver will then try to connect to the remote server and make data changed check. If the server has an update, the thread will connect to the remote server and download the data from the server.
Problem and Issues: 1. Is this the right way to approach the problem? 2. Is AlarmManager reliable? Would it remember Alarms after a device boot? (I think it does) 3. How do I ensure that battery usage is kept at minimum.(I have heard something about using "keep-alive" to sustain the session for longer time..what is this legend?) 4. What are other things that I need to consider? I am sure I must be missing lots of things here.
Does anyone have any good references for designing and implementing an idea I have for an android application. My idea is for an application that stores information and reviews about a specific location and presents this information to user.I have gone through all the tutorials and have been reading up on anything and everything about android. Now I am ready to challenge myself with my first app.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have some design questions that I want to discuss with people interested in helping me. I am planning to develop a simple VoIP program that allows two Android phones in the same network to use VoIP. My goal is simply to capture sound, send the data with UDP, receive UDP data and play sound.My current design is to have 2 threads: one captures the microphone and sends the data; the other one receives bytes and plays them.I was starting to implement that using MediaPlayer and MediaRecorder. The issue that came up is how do I record and play sound? By that, I would like to know if I need to use a file, although that seems slow, or if there is anyway to have the recording automatically sent to my UDP socket please?Basically, I wonder if I have to record to a file, then to be able to play it, or if I could just pass a socket (for recording and playing).
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm writing an application where real-time knowledge of the GPS state is critical to convey to the user. I request GPS updates at 1000 ms intervals -- when I haven't received another update 1500 ms past the most recent update, I want to display a yellow icon, and 5000 ms after the most recent update I want to display a red icon.

I am creating a small calendar control that will be part of an application that runs on a larger-than-phone-sized screen. The calendar will simply display the current month and allow users to touch-select a day with an iPhone keyboard style popup bubble indicating which day is chosen.
The problem is that in order to do it with buttons would require 42 tiny buttons, which would probably be a resource hogging solution. Although a keyboard would give me the iPhone-keyboard-bubble-like behavior, i dont think that we can place a keyboard in a static location within a Layout, using it like a View.
So I am wondering what is the best way to go about implementing this. Is my "42 buttons is too many" assumption correct? Is my keyboard assumption correct? Do I have to use a SurfaceView (or something) and draw everything myself? Is there some other grid-like control that can make this simpler?
