This video-review shows the main functions (of a former beta version).

I installed it and getting the authorization error. Will try again later. Thanks for the link.

At the risk of sounding stupid, what does this do?

A ping messenger similar to PingChat! but far better, with a lot more sharing options. A musthave-app for every iPhone owner and available for BB and Symbian in near future (multiplatform)
here's a Review

Hi!
I installed it yesterday afternoon, tried to log-in for a couple of hours but it only worked this morning. I have already chatted with a friend using whatsapp on iphone! Cgorki, thx for sharing.
I've been running and using it for almost 6 hours now with mobile internet always on and listening to music but when I go into battery usage this doesn't show up. Does this mean that it doesn't use battery or is there something else? It doesn't seem to drain a lot of battery because I still have about 85% left.
Thank you..

...well they obviously developed an app which charges your battery instead of draining it
I also have no problems communicating with iPhone users, also able to attach maps links, voice messages, pictures and videos

Uh, is this supposed to be distributed? I thought it's still a close beta.

When the owner provides a direct Link to the apk on his own servers, it doesn't really look like a closed beta.

Loving it. Thanks so much

Still random disconnects when sleeping. It only works after app and service are restarted.
Had it on the iphone, works great. I have been waiting for this for months and months now, but they still don't want to make it final. Either they are slow, it is just too hard to work with without the push thingy á la iphone.

well if you develop for android, you develop for more than only one device like for iphone, thats why it takes longer... btw. I can not confirm disconnects while phone is in sleep mode...
Update was released today, you can update the app via the built-in updater

Yes I noticed the update. I am using wifi only for this week. From next week on, I have a new contract with mobile data. Maybe there is a problem connecting after a while of disconnecting.

That's weird, I receive messages without ever opening it first, straight after booting and completely leaving the phone alone.
Under settings it always says service has started right on the minute that I booted my phone
*edit* Sorry I think I misread you, last night it gave me the option to install the latest version, and the change log said it fixed many random crashes, so far running great. But I'm sure you've upgraded

so far i can NOT use it, says auth failed.. any tips?

if you want the auth to run, email the support (even if the app says do not!) I did that and I got my access about 2-3 days.

mailing them will do nothing, I'm pretty sure they didn't put you on any "beta list"
you get your access just by trying to contact their servers, after hours/days your phone is successfully registered, thats what me and many other users have experienced.

I must have sent 14 messages untill I got through. Dont try it more than once, keep trying every couple of hours. Or even the next day. Once you get the auth, all reinstalls will be good to go.

Has anybody read the EULA?
It's talking about a "free trial period", and then a subscription fee per year.
Is that the same with the iPhone-app?

Market Don´t Work Properly for Any Android Device!

MARKET DON´T WORK PROPERLY FOR ANY ANDROID DEVICE!
It's a global issue, so we must wait to solve by google.
People STOP saying in build threads, that market have issues....post were your complains.
All XDA threads, Desire, Nexus, Evo....have complains about this market issue.
It's not a BUILD ISSUE!
You can try: cancel download-install-cancel-install-cancel-install....the times you need to process complet download....it works for me.

with friendly greet
starbase64

Market works for me. USA.

Working good for me also.! i just downloaded a new build and installed all my apps in 20 mins
@starbase!!!! Nice to see you man!

It's working for me too as well.
However, I can confirm that there were issues. MY downloads would not start, whether on 3g OR Wifi. They would keep pausing. I left them open though and eventually they downloaded.
Haven't had any problems since then.

This afternoon I hat serious trouble with the Android market as well but since 23pm or smth it just works fine. Just got Angry Birds and a few other things with no problems whatsoever.

Market issues only occur when you're not signed on properly to it (eg. because when signing onto the phone you signed on with the Google account that doesn't have any apps tied to it 1st, then signing onto with another Google account with paid apps tied to it) or when you have 300+ apps installed (in which case the "installing" bar sometimes never goes away).
I've been using Android on my HD2 since Darkstone HD2Froyo v1 was out and have had only 1 market issue (the sign in / check in issue that prevented me from seeing paid apps, which I resolved by doing a quick search of xda on how to re-checkin) and that was it.

I don´t agree with your comment. I have had market issues a few times in the last days, ever I was signed on properly,have not happened to me previously. So, what it seems is that Google have had some problems. In case anyone can not install some app, sometime appears a message like pausing download, just wait a pair of minutes, and try it again, it used to work that way. But we can not said that everything is ok. There are problems.

Just google "android market issue" or the error message and you'll see this is an issue worlwide, in some countries is solved, in some other not yet, in some other never happened. Is not a build/rom problem.

Seems that also in italy is starting to work again....

This issue is now solved here (Italy), after 2 hours of very rare and difficult download.

UK
Still having problems (UK) , i can download apps(angry birds etc) and then when it goes to install (unknown error -18)

Here in Portuguese country the issue start Solved! nice.

Car Home Project

I am wondering if anyone can take up this little project.
Basically this is the Car Home from the T-Mobile Vibrant and i am wondering if anyone can play around with it so that A: it can fit on the Galaxy Tab (app does not center properly as you can see from the picture), B: if the Contact icon can be made to work properly (as you can see an error mesage comes up) and C:when selecting the search icon nothing happens(the one on the right hand side of the contact icon)

Maybe just not in the 1 day since you posted it.
There's already a few good car home apps that work fine on the tab, which may be partially responsible for peoples reluctance to spend their spare time on this project also.
It's probably just a case of changing the name of the app it's calling, why not take the APK apart and see if you can work it out yourself?

i extracted the apk, but that's as far as i can go. have no idea what to do
this can get the ball rolling
as you can see there are three folders layout, layout-land, and layout-port
i dont know how to mess with xml files or dev in any other way, so someone can take a crack at this.

yea, the default google one is pretty good. i plan to use it in my car w/my tab and the samsung car mount.
on a side note, using the car mount right now just on my glass desk. works pretty dang well too!

That's pretty cool.
Looks like most of the images are intended for a 480x800 display, which is the resolution of the vibrant. You'd probably need to go through and scale a number of the images to fit the higher resolution screen of the tab. (Edit: Looks like the app is intelligent enough to scale this itself)
It's possibly a fair bit of work, but probably not all that hard. You mainly just need to extract it, work out what to edit, make the required changes, remove the META-INF tag and then manually resign and recreate the .apk. Not quite as straightforward as that (you'll need the Android SDK for a start). Might be a good exercise though.
I might have a play just for something to do. Maybe
Edit: Right, as with most things, _way_ more difficult than I estimated. I've decompiled the APK and I'm having a poke around in the sourcecode. I'll see how I go, but it's quite possible that I'll end up giving up and putting it in the "too hard" basket. Disclaimer: I'm completely unfamiliar with this sort of code so I'm having to decipher the syntax as I go. Editing just the graphics is a piece of cake, changing application calls and layout is a different story.

I managed to get most of it sorted. The icons are now centered and the Contacts button works. The search button doesn't even seem to be _trying_ to do anything though, so I'm not sure what it's supposed to achieve. I might just get rid of it, a text-based search in a car dock app seems a bit redundant to me.
I don't get a "Voice Search" icon on mine, I get a "Browser" icon instead, so I'd be interested in seeing what happens on yours.
The .apk is a little larger than the original, probably as it's being compiled against a newer SDK.

I fixed the "Alarm" option not working with the Home dock application as well:

I do have a car home app that came with Roto's JME v4 but i still like the one from the Vibrant.
I am not a programmer so i would not know how to fix it.

Great work on the Car Home, but i was wondering if you could make some changes:
This what it looks like on my Vibrant, any way you can get to look this way?
and in regards to the Desk Home, the Alarm does not work i get an error message:
and one question on the Desk Home, on the weather icon next to the date and time shouldn't it show the current temperature? on both the Vibrant and Tab it just shows 00 C, not that important but it is weird that it does not update after you set the City and change the temperature to F on the Daily briefing icon.
Thank you again for your help.

The apk on your vibrant must be different, the one I'm working on doesn't even have the images for "Phone" or "Music".
As for the alarm, I've no idea, it works fine here. I'm running the JME firmware which may have something to do with things.
The weather displays 00 if it doesn't have a net connection, it works fine as soon as it can access the server, but it looks like you've got data running. Can you put it on Wireless and see if it updates then?

knightnz said:
I don't understand why you're getting different icons than I am. It'd take me a lot of work to decipher it and try to fix things, someone who has a better understanding of smali code would need to have a look at it.

The Car Home from my Vibrant i got it via the market when it was available, the one currently on my tab i got it from the link on my first post so i could not tell you why they are different. Well i gave it a try, i'll keep it the way it is but it looks better than before and at least the contacts work. Thanks.
Regarding the alarm i am lost, i am running Roto's JME v4 so not sure if that has anything to do with it.
In regards to weather on the Desk Home i'll try and get better signal and i'll try wifi connection see if makes a difference and i'll report.

Well it seems that Samsung came out with a Car Home app and you can get it via the Samsung Apps app

[APP][ROOT] Scheduler for Whatsapp v2.1

ROOT PERMISSION NEEDED, 4.1 or above
Hello everyone, some days back I was searching an app to program some whatsapp messages, and I found 1 or 2 apps, but are so hard to use and takes so much time so, I made this app thinking that to create a new messages not takes a lot of time.
The app is very easy to use, you only need to pick your contact, write the message and select when you want to send the message. Take care, because the app is a BETA version for now, but I need some feedback on other phones, obviusly, you need ROOT PERMISSIONS.

P.D: Only works 100% for now on 5.0 and above, in the future I will add full compatibility with previous versions, sorry.

I need some feedback mates
Thanks!

Yes mate, for now is only compatible from 5.0 and above, but when it works okey in 5.0 I will make it compatible with below versions, anyway thanks for try the app
Edit: The app works okey from 4.0 and above I think, but not works always. The problem is that this app needs to reconect from internet to force whatsapp to update the messages and I can only do that from 5.0 (using internet data, not wifi).

Version 1.21, compatibility from Jelly Bean
In this new version must work from android 4.1, but take care, if at the moment to send the message you are not connected to wifi, the message will be delayed. I will fix this problem as soon as possible.
Regards!

Thanks for this questions are very interesting.
I gonna explain the conditions, are very easy:
If you are connected to WIFI, the app turn off the wifi and reconect again in 5 seconds.
If the WIFI is off then turn off data and reconect in 5 seconds.
I think with this two conditions I maneged the comun scenarios.
I will work to add group messages.
You have any other idea to add to app?
Thanks!

Version 2.0
Hi, I'm here again, I uploaded a new version to google play solving the most popular error.
- Now if you have not the sqlite3 file, the app will automatically add it to your xbin folder.
- New design.
- Solved problem with some country phone number.
- Now you can modify manually the phone number.
If you see any error contact with me please.
Thanks!

I found the main error with the sqlite3 file, so now must be working on all rooted phones, I hope.
Is very important to download the new version if before was not working.
Thanks.

I am having a problem getting my OP5 to work

IF someone could take time out of your busy schedules I would be most grateful and could make it up to you
I got the OP5. I used it one day, yesterday. Today I am sporadically able to get on the internet, most of the times not. I started getting a KEY icon in the status bar
I googled and searched to see it has something to do with an APN or VPN I don't know what they are, I am sorry
I tried to read how to do it but got intimidated on different ways, one manual one another way, on each site. Many ways
I tried to work it out with OnePlus Service. Their service has a lot to be deserved. The first guy didn't know what it was. The second was, I sent a screen shot, he said he'd talk to level 2 and call back
45 minutes later, I got an email saying "Thanks your issue has been solved" I tried to call back, to no avail. Closed
If anyone could walk me thru it, here, private messages, email I would be most grateful. I have lets say a few health issues and parents I need to reach, and have no land line
I don't want to return the phone.
Thank You
Eric

Are you in the US ?if so which network ATT or T Mobile ? have you installed the OS update that they pushed out today ? oh and the best way to contact OP support is via the CHAT app. you shouldn't have to monkey w/ the VPN settings. UPDATE: they are about to push out a 4.5.3 hotfix update.

I got the OP5. I used it one day, yesterday. Today I am sporadically able to get on the internet, most of the times not. I started getting a KEY icon in the status bar
I googled and searched to see it has something to do with an APN or VPN I don't know what they are, I am sorry
I tried to read how to do it but got intimidated on different ways, one manual one another way, on each site. Many ways
I tried to work it out with OnePlus Service. Their service has a lot to be deserved. The first guy didn't know what it was. The second was, I sent a screen shot, he said he'd talk to level 2 and call back
45 minutes later, I got an email saying "Thanks your issue has been solved" I tried to call back, to no avail. Closed
If anyone could walk me thru it, here, private messages, email I would be most grateful. I have lets say a few health issues and parents I need to reach, and have no land line
I don't want to return the phone.
Thank You
Eric

Have you downloaded any battery saving applications,? Doze, etc.
I would start uninstalling 3rd party apps, starting with the most recent ones.

I am on Tmo in the US. I got an update yesterday but none today. Who are you with. Any problems. Do you think it is that APN problem?

I'm on T Mobile and have never had a problem w/ T Mobile and OnePlus (and I've owned EVERY model they have put out). You should not have to touch your APN settings at all. Currently your OP5 should be on Oxygen OS 4.5.2 and they are pushing out an update tomorrow (4.5.3) but I don't think either update has anything to do with your issues. I assume you have your T-mobile Sim card in slot #1 correct ... it will tell you that information under settings> SIM & NETWORK SETTINGS. Below is a screen shot from my OP3T, but the OP5 looks the same. Make sure the Mobile Data is turned on as shown. When all else fails....just do a factory reset and start over. Make sure you are somewhere that has WIFI if you have to do so, makes set up much easier. And again, I only ever have to go to this settings when setting up a new phone if I want to turn on VoLTE, all the other settings are factory set.

most probably a wrong vpn setting. Try gong to settings>more>vpn and delete any vpn listing if there are any

Jerry, Alan.....thank you. Jerry my settings are exactly as they are in your pic. I found that Lookout has web browser protection on and when I take it off, it works...sort of. I have used Lookout on many phones and this wasn't an issue. Many say Lookout and similar is not needed?
Well when I went to the VPN setting, a Lookout icon was there, I deleted it.
But my email is not working and I'm not sure how related. TypeApp I cannot set up my account and log in. I was able to log into K9 which I don't prefer, but regardless, I am not getting notifications.
Thanks a lot for your help. As I believe I stated in my post, I am well aware that when people volunteer to help they are taking from their personal time.

Lookout ? I haven't heard of that "lost my phone" app I'm YEARS, haha. Didn't know they were still around. Android has "lost my phone" built in now. Ya don't even have to turn it on now. As for "email" apps...I have always just used GMAIL app. Sounds like you are just having various app setting problems. If you mean actually HEARING notifications ... Make sure your notifications slider is not turned to the middle "do not disturb" setting. The slider of course is on the left side of the phone. It has 3 different positions.

If does look like app incompatibilities. I am able to get online uninstalled Lookout antivirus. I don't need one? T-Mobile has given us Pro for years
