Devs read!!! Great idea! - Android Software Development

k, you know when you meet someone and your all like "text me your number o me"? well what about something like facebook has, where you will get a pop up saying so-and-so has added your number (person has same program) and then that person's added with email and everything done with one click

This post is awash with details.

Isn't that like the Bump app that never caught on?

I get you have the same app installed but how would the person find you in the first place?

I'm thinking the basic idea is that if a lot of people have it maybe you register your number so when they add it it lets you know and fills in extra info like email and stuff

Tasker import/export page

I really like tasker, but it's not super user friendly. From what I've read it takes time, but you can really get some awesome functionality out of your Evo. Unfortunately, I don't have time to turn around and touch my own ass (one month old twins and full time student). I know there's a wiki page too, but this forum usually produces the best information. Just a thought.
What exactly is it you are asking/suggesting?
Your post looks like your twins started crying and you forgot your thought, finished up and posted
I believe he is asking for pre made tasker functions that can be simply imported to his device. Or a way to export for those that wish to share theirs.

tried tasker but didnt end up doing what i wanted it to do...then again its not really user friendly so im sure i missed something
I was looking for something like that also... I see this from their web page...

[REQUEST] APP - Log what apps send what info and where!

Just read on the Wallstreet Journal that there are almost 50% of the top rated apps that send out private information to a third party. Information about your contacts, address, phone number and other really sensetive information.
So, is there a way to make an app with the soul purpose to log wich app sends out what information, and where?
To be frank I'm personally pissed and I want to know what apps send out information about me that I have not allowed.. ASAP!
Anyone capable of making such an app? I would gladly pay for it (a copy, sorry to say, but I'm not rich enough to pay for your working hours). I'm sure there are alot of others that would appreciate this kind of app too...
For the start you could use logcat to see those things
XDA App

I think it's amazing. Clean, and simple. Oh...and A LOT better than Facebook. Facebook should die. only my opinion.

pluses: NO GAMES, whoriscopes i mean horoscopes, and or crappy as question things. i like how i can post a thing for my friends or my work colleagues which includes my boss (i work in an IT dept so we are all nerds and wanted it) with out sharing to much or what ever. honestly im just glad its not facebook i had been only keeping for the point to keep in contact with people that have moved away and inviting them to google was easy
cons: ummm invite only? ha jk its blown up as is so im happy. I feel as if i am selling my soul to google but if thats true i have done that awhile ago so too late now
the only thing really i think that needs to be added is that we need a way for events and functions to be added to google calender or something. like facebook (i know i hate it but it works)
oh im a keep pushing that we should all leave facebook at a semi coordinated time

I totally agree, with the selling your soul to Google. If Goog made it, I will pretty much be inclined to like it. I guess, I'm a Goog FanBoy? Ant-Apple as well.
Also, can't agree with you more on Google+, it's got a little bit of a learning curve. Mainly because we are all creatures of habit, and there are a few differences from FaceBook, but overally am liking it more and more. Also, worthy of mention is the fact that their Adnroid App, is WAY better hands-down, than FaceBooks.
I am Pro-Simplicity when it comes to the web, and Google is the epitamy of simplistic design. Plus, I was getting totally annoyed with all those stupid Farmville request. Especially when I see a pop-up from a friend that says "I need Help" in the title. So you automatically think, oh, I should look at that right away. Only to find out, your supposed friend was playing some bakery/store game and is asking you to give them some flour or something. Lame.
So far it's been really great. Much simpler interface than FB, more web 2.0 if you will...
I'm hoping a LOT of people get on board and give FB a run for their money. I don't hate FB, but it's pretty clear there needs to be SOME competition to the Zuckerburg juggernaut.

You actually only have to deal with that once. You can hide all posts regarding any app or game and you don't have to deal with that rubbish again.
i would have to agree with what i am reading i just wanted to hear some other peoples thoughts... lots of pros and i have yet to really find a con other then i am wanting more people to jump on board so i can see where the app will lead!!! LOVE THE SIMPLICITY and the fact that.... well.... everything seems to work unlike facebook!!!! its social network at its finest without all the crap from what i have seen!!!!...... and actually i think Google already owns our android loving souls at this point, I'm sure its in the fine print somewhere....lol
i've been wanting to see what the big deal is with this if any of yall have an extra invite and dont mine sending one this way that would be awesome. my email is [email protected]

To keep your soul from wanting hell today, I will also send a couple of invites to anybody that Pm me their gmail account. I will not be a snappy/fast thing. But I will check it atleast once a day ok.
Back to topic, the resounding answer to your question is a YES! I Like it! It's a social network that got it right and its not Facebook!
Simple Elegant UI and I love the auto upload of photos shot on your phone from the app, its a nice way to bacup automatically to the cloud.
In the app also, the "nearby" tab on the stream is golden if you ask me, it allows you to see peoples public post around the location in which you are at the moment, allowing you to get in the conversation with new people and knowing is somebody close by and might be somebody that you already seen around or something.
It's Golden!

PM me as well and I will send out invites.

This is a thread I've started for anyone who wants to add each other on Google+. I've found this social network to be far superior to facebook, and will make sharing and providing information to each other a lot more interesting and fun. Being updated to new things and trying new builds etc. Also, it's just fun =D Anyone who wants added, either drop your email address here on this thread or you can PM me.
https://plus.google.com/i/pmloHmaoypI:-CU4x4btv_8
There has been at least 3 threads like this before. I've seen 2 for the Moto Atrix circle and 1 for the XDA circle.
Yeah I get what yer saying, but it wouldn't do much good to join a circle about a different phone model would it? I made one for the ATRIX. But I'll look and see if there's already one for the Atrix as well. Meanwhile, anyone who wants a Google + invite, just drop me a PM. Or post your email here.

HTC One users on Google Plus, join here!

After Google I/O 2013 there were so many great features about Google+ I wanted to use more often but hardly any of my friends use G+. I was wondering if any of you guys had it and want to add each other so we can all use the new G+ a little more often. Pretty much all of my posts/shares/likes/etc pertain to tech/Google/Android anyway.
I haven't done much on my profile since G+ came out way back when, but here it is if you want to add me, feel free to post on my page or share stuff: Syn Ack
Feel free to add your profile links here too and we can all add each other. I will put you in my HTC One circle.
I recommend going to http://gplus.to/ and then posting your link in that format.
Just post your link below and I will copy it to the list. Mine is gplus.to/Synacks

I find it fascinating that G+ has more users than Twitter but not a single friend of mine uses it. I've been trying to push it, but doesn't seem to be gaining much traction ):

I don't see where you added me, maybe I don't know enough about G+ yet. But it's certainly got a better layout and more features than Facebook.

I just added you to my Circles, I guess it's like "liking" a FB page, where you don't get friend requests, just that your posts get shared to those following. Probably, haven't really used it too
I have to admit I prefer G+ over all other social media sites. There is just not enough of a user base in my real life circles and the people who are on it don't have a clue how to use it.

@Syn Ack - maybe it would be a good idea to set this thread up like the Sensation g+ has been done.
This will make it easier for everyone to add others rather than having to look through loads of pages just to add people.
Using the short URLs, as mentioned in the other threads OP, would be a good idea aswell rather than post massive links
Here's a link to mine anyway - KidCarter93
For all people who use the shortening site, please put your nickname as your XDA username. It makes it easier for the rest of us that way
