I was just wondering if anyone out there knows if there are any apps available that will do two things that I miss from my last Nokia.
The first is an app that says who the caller who is currently calling is so you can tell who it is before you take your phone out of your pocket.
And the second app is one that works with your messages and reads them out to you when you receive them. I used to use this function while driving so I didn't have to read the screen.
I'm not 100% if these exist as the market is so annoying at showing certain apps on certain phones. But if they do then please let me know and offer any suggestions on how to get my UK desire on t-mobile to see it and use it.
Thank you

Anyone know of a program that can track your phone via gps? Or that can whipe or disable the phone if stolen? This come to mind when i seen the post about the new blackberry protect feature. I know the palm pre had a whipe feature via the palm website.

Wavesecure is an excellent app

I tried wavesecure but for some reason it wouldn't find my location with GPS. It showed me like 20 miles away.
So, I tried Mobile Defense and it worked like a charm. It has the options to either lock the phone with a pattern(yet to try), send audible alerts(yet to try), or look at detailed tracking information.
Only thing is they no longer offer a download for it since it was for a beta. It should be released probably within the next few weeks.
Mobile Defense
Yep, Mobile Defense.
I prefer Lost Phone which can lock and track the phone through SMS commands. I tried some of the others mentioned and my only problem with them is they were all mostly done through a website. The problem with that is if I am not near a computer when I lose my phone it doesn't help me. Stop Phone can lock the phone, send the GPS coordinates, and turn the volume up all with different text commands. And so far it's free.
my buddy just went from his old blackberry curve(original) to an evo. he is wanting to be able to just hit something and block all texts/emails/notifications after a certain time of the evening and only allow phone calls to come in. he said his old blackberry he could just put it on phone only. is there an app or a setting to do this in one step on our evo's? i was thinking just toggle the network off. i would think that should knock out emails for sure but i don't know about gmail or texts.
not sure about an app but i am certain cynogens mod has a quite time feature that does the same function
Called Bedside (night clock) in market place... its a buck or 2 but worth every penny... does everything you needed
I work off hours and now only get calls/ msg's that i want and no others... the choice is yours
sweet dreams, timeriffic are both free

Shameless self plug... Locale plus my Call Filter plugin. Some of the other apps mentioned can do it, but locale does a lot more and has better usability imho.
I believe Tasker can do that but don't quote me on that...

my parents put an app on my phone to monitor my texts and calls. it also blocks me from running any apps once they are installed without my dad unblocking them. the app is my mobile watchdog and it auto starts on boot. i cannot get into the settings because they are blocked. i need a way to remove the permission to start on boot. so i can still start it if i need to by opening the app. i have tried a lot of things to bypass it. i may seem sneaky but would you want your parents watching every single little thing you did on your phone?
I apologise of this is not the case, but I assume your parents pay for your phone.Simplest way to remove the monitoring is to buy your own phone.

it can easily be disabled/removed. I dont like the fact that your parents are doing that crap but at the same time I am not going to provide a solution.
I suggest either dealing directly with your parents for being turds or get your own phone. What they going to say when they go to check on you and it the app is gone.....?

Lets continue on this thread instead of Development since it does not contribute to the community in that aspect.
Gonna need more info:
App name?
Rooted?
Recovery?
Also, if they monitor your texts and calls, don't you think they'd notice that you've suddenly stopped calling and texting? What happens when they send you a test message to see if it shows up on their end? Gotta think in advance of the moves they would take.
And I agree with albundy.....take it up with them first. Be reasonable or else you may not have a phone to monitor at all.
A better question is why did they put it there in the first place.

Hello,
I am using JB 4.2.2 stock Unrooted.
When I receive a call, photo of the contact comes in the Half screen only. Is there any way to make it full? I dont want to root my phone and don't want to use 3rd party crap Full Screen Caller like app.
Is there any mods available?
Thank you.
Thanks for asking... I'm looking for a hack too...

I am trying to find out the same issue...please let us know if anyone knows about this....
I've been using Facebook Sync Hack since like ICS, let's you choose size of contact pic and resolution works awesome, some names don't sync automatically depending how you have them in your contacts vs what their FB name is though, but you manually link them once and its done forever.

I'm also looking for a solution to this.
Just got my new note4 after playing with the iP6, as I do like using multiple devices to have good knowledge on most devices, but here is one issue I ran into. I have the dunkin donuts app installed (easier than carrying a card) and it works great. 3 nights ago a txt from the app came in at 3:35am with a good sale (something I didn't need to wake up to). 2 nights later at 1am another one.
So, I don't want to silence ALL notifications as I have SMS alerts from my datacenter, etc. so I am looking to see is there an app that will silence some apps or services, or specific things based on time/day?
Thanks
I would disable notifications from specific apps permentanrly. You can do that from application manager. You can also configure blocking mode to allow certain numbers (not sure about sms).

[SOLVED]
I saw that while looking around but it's show notifications, and I didn't realize the show really meant don't notify vs show.
Thanks for the quick and simple fix.
Give Tasker a shot. It might look a bit complicated in the beginning but there are a lot of threads and wiki pages which will help you get going.
