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?

HoRNDIS: USB tethering driver for Mac OS X

Hi!
I spent the last week or so working on a project that I call HoRNDIS (pronounce: "horrendous") -- a Mac OS X driver that allows you to use your Android phone's native USB tethering mode.
It's a kernel extension, and requires NO software installed on your phone, and NO background apps on your Mac; if your phone supports RNDIS tethering, you're good to go! To make you salivate a little more, it looks like this when it's running:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I've tested it on my machines, and a few of my friends have tested it on their machines, but it hasn't gotten *hugely* wide testing yet, which is why I'm still tagging it as a [BETA].
If you're interested, give it a shot... you can grab it from my web site, and if you're so inclined, get the source on GitHub, too.
Let me know if it works for you!

This is awesome!
This works great on my VZW GS3. Seems more stable than wi-fi tethering. Easy to set up. Been looking for something like this for a while.

Hey, this works great! I've tried hundreds of tips for my SGS and none worked until this one. Thank you very much.
I have one question, though. I'd like to tether my phone WIFI connection to my Mac (not only the 3G connection). Is it possible with this kernel extension? I tried but it didn't work with the Wifi, only with 3G.
I don't know if this is not possible at all, even on Windows, or anything else.

At least on my Galaxy Nexus, that works. You might be able to do that with CM?
Not sure why you would want to do that, though...

This works fantastic on a Nexus 4 on 4.2. Anywhere I can donate a few bucks for beer money?

Works great on a TMo SGS3. Thank you!

This is awesome!

Fantastic. Works great on my Samsung Galaxy SII HD LTE (E120S).

i'm going to try this!! you are the man!!! thanks!!

Confirmed Working
On Sammy Galaxy S2 Skyrocket on CM10 (stable & latest nightly) and OSX 10.7.5.
If it doesn't work at first. Make sure you reboot your Mac and then give it time to connect with your Android.
Thanks for this! I hate using bluetooth for anything and I have found that hotspot really makes this particular phone get really hot. Should help out with that since it is not transmitting via Wi-FI hotspot, saving my components within the phone!
Thanks!

Works flawlessly with the Nexus 4 on the Three network (DC-HSDPA+). Received 8Mb/s d/l vs 1.2 Mb/s up. Very happy.

Hm..
Ive got a Desire HD running a port of CM10
Macbook Pro with Lion (and i doubt this is causing problems, but i have a linux partition that i installed a tonne of wireless drivers on to get it to work XD )
Anyhow, when my phone is plugged in, nothing pops up in settings or anything, i installed the Rel1 package and installed it a second time as it wasn't working. It still isn't working though :L
Also, i have the interface, 'Android Phone' alongside bluetooth, wifi etc.. but it doesn't have a data transfer icon, but a telephone icon?
Do you think this is due to port (CM10), my OS X version, or somehow connected to Linux (im not really sure how it could be, but I'm just putting it as I did have to spend a long time setting up wireless on it, and may have somehow messed up something on mac)

Thanks for the words of encouragement, everyone! I'm glad to hear that this is useful to people.

Good to hear it works for you! I'm thinking that for this I'll take a similar policy to what I did in the days of the unrevoked project; if you found this software useful, you might want to consider donating to an organization that's been fighting for years to make it possible to do this kind of work: the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

Can you try HoRNDIS-n1-test.pkg? I think that this is a similar issue to what I saw on a CM9 n1; that should fix things up for you. If that doesn't, can you file a bug in the issue tracker so I can help figure out what's going on here?
Thanks!

what is the advantage of this over PDANET?

Doesn't PDANET install actual software?
From running this, it is a kernel extension so it just works.... no need to really do any settings...

Additionally, it doesn't require an 'emulation' IP stack on the phone side, so performance and compatibility may end up slightly better.

anyone know of a free sms agent?

New version should support CyanogenMod phones better (if it wasn't detecting your phone, try again), and properly complain on 32-bit kernel systems; I think this is stable enough to no longer be [BETA] (Mods, feel free to remove the [BETA] from the subject). Thanks for all the kind words from everyone.

[Q] No group MMS thread setting...

Wondering if anyone else is having this problem. I got my Nexus 4 (Yeah!), started it up, logged into my google acct, everything started downloading/restoring from google. I checked out the Messaging app and settings, and noticed a "group messages" setting. Sweet!!! But then I got a system update notification. I obviously installed it. After installing it, I used gobackup pro to restore my messaging threads. NOT THE APP, just the threads. Checking the settings again, the "group messages" setting was gone! Just gone! Not sure if it was the system update, or the thread restore, but I am perplexed. I've done 2 factory resets since, but the setting is still gone. Messaging ver. is 4.2-57622 or something like that (don't have the phone with me at the moment.) I'm guessing it had to do with the system update, and that is why it's still not there after the factory resets, but, I really have no idea. I am stock, no root, or unlocked bootloader. Stock, pure stock (the reason I bought a nexus device). Any help or related info would be greatly appreciated! I've searched everywhere, and seem to be the only one with this issue. Any screenshots of anyone else's messaging settings running that app version would help too. Thanks

Hmm, I've done the OTA update and I've still got the setting.

Same here. The OP's problem is very peculiar. OP, what cell provider are you using? I doubt this is it, but is it possible that this option isn't available on certain cell providers and Google removed it in the OTA? That is, could it be dependent on the SIM that's in your phone? I doubt it, but I'm just trying to identify some variables. I'm on T-Mobile and have the option.

You may be right, cause I am only on wifi right now. The phone is a Christmas gift, so I am only messing with it to make sure that I like it, and don't want to return it. So it would make sense that not all carriers support this type of messaging, and wouldn't show until your phone recognizes a supportive carrier. Like you said, it may not be the case, but the more I think about it, the more it makes sense. The only variable is that the setting was available pre OTA, but disappeared after the OTA.

Nexus 4 here using Tmobile. Group MMS option removed after OTA update..what is going on here this needs to be fixed

I'm not sure why this isn't getting more exposure... Fixing the group messaging was a huge step and now it appears to be broken for some.

Did you do any kind of restore thread from a previous messaging version?
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app

Ok, here's the deal. I have a N4 running 4.2.
Everything was working great up until today as far as group messaging. I switched from ATT to T-Mobile last night. Now the option appears to be gone, and it's not working anymore. Is this something specific to T-Mobile's network? Do I have the wrong MMS APN settings or something?

For T-Mobile, check the APN settings.

Did the 4.2.1 update and the option is back. Weird.

I am still seeing this issue but on a Galaxy Nexus.. I had the group mms option on 4.2 and it worked great.. I hadn't used group mms since I got the 4.2.1 OTA update the other day but I just did and back to separate threads and the option is gone like the OP.. any ideas? I know this is a thread about the Nexus 4 but this is the only thread I could find on this issue..

I'm still on WiFi only, so I'm not sure if mine will work or not once I have a sim. I'll update my status after Christmas
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app

Anyone got a solution? I'm on 4.2.1 on AT&T and I don't have this option.

I'm waiting till I actually get a Sim in my phone to continue this thread. It seems to come and go based on different carriers and APN'S. I will update in a few days.
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app

Are you talking about the option to "use MMS to send a single message when there are multiple recipients"? I'm on SIMPLE Mobile (t-mobile's network) and i have the option. FWIW.

I'm having this issue still on a galaxy nexus on 4.2.1 on tmobile. As far as I know I never had the option, even in 4.2.
Ive tried wipung and reflashing multiple different roms, and even flashed a modded apk with no success at getting the option to show.

OK, so to put this topic to bed. I just got my phone setup with att, and the group messaging is back! :thumbup:It must be carrier dependent. Anyone having the issue should go tho their carrier and see if they support group messaging, and see if they can help you set it up.

I'm on 4.2.1 on a galaxy nexus with T-Mobile, no setting. My brother is on a nexus 4, same network, he has the setting. So it is not just a case of carrier dependency.

Are you guys talking about this setting?

@glenroebuck: There are two ATIV S models; I'm guessing you got the SGH-T899M since it has LTE? If possible, please test a couple things for me:
1) Go to Settings -> About -> More Info, and list the OS, Radio, and Firmware version numbers.
2) Go to Settings -> Internet Sharing, and try to enable it (even if your plan doesn't support it, tell me what error message you get).
I'm trying to track down something that might be a problem with the phone or might be a problem with the OS or might just be a problem with my device, and there aren't many USA users of the SGH-T899M it seems.

os 8.0.10211.204
Firmware 2212.12.12.2
radio 2212.12.12.2
radio firmware 0.0.0.0
turned it on and it told me there is no cellular data connection to share right now.

Damn... that's the same error I get (even though it's blatantly false; I get that error even while I'm streaming music and downloading apps over said data connection).
Same version info too. They apparently have March and April 2013 updates, but those might only be for the other ATIV S model... I can't get them myself.

that is weird I only ever got it when you had me test it although today in my home city of clevlelad I got lte in some places but not near my home and it completly lost signal...like emergency calls only. I had to reboot to get it back. Did not have those issues in anaheim and Las Vegas both lte areas - but we are not official yet here in cle.

You're on T-Mobile, right? Set the APN to "fast.t-mobile.com" (no username or password) and it should work on both HSPA+ ("4G") and LTE (you'll briefly lose data when switching, but it comes back quickly; if that's too annoying then disable LTE). I think the APN info built into the phone for T-Mobile is wrong or possibly just outdated, which is why it doesn't switch to LTE gracefully and also why tethering doesn't work (tethering uses a different APN, "pcweb.tmobile.com", note the lack of a hyphen in this one).
People with the other model ATIV S have reported that after installing the April firmware update, they're able to install an app called "APN" that automatically configures their phone, including enabling tethering (although probably not LTE, which I believe is unavailable on that model). There is an app called "APNs" in the store for the T899M, but it doesn't have the auto-config option, nor the ability to set a tethering APN.

I used the apn app from samsung to configure fast.t-mobile.com when I was in vegas to get lte to work. It has been working ever since only yesterday was the first time i experienced no network after coming off LTE but again it is not official here in Cleveland so that might be the issue.
Other than that I love this phone. Since I have had a zune account for ever - if I shazam a song it lets me dl it directly from xbox store (zune account = xbox music acccount) Myappfree is a great way to get good apps for nothing. (they have a daily free app) and really any app I would use on android or iphone - there is the same or a similar app here. and the Ativ is such an pretty phone lol...people always ask me "is that the new s4?" then I explain it is a windows phone and they get a blank look

Sorry to hear that, hopefully At&t will roll out their 1gb internet in your town soon.

When downloading a file over 30MB my download booster will turn on for a split second then turn off, the file will then download via wifi only. Any ideas why?

I mean are you for real? wifi speed + 4G data speeds giving you ultra fast downloads to get 1gb to 2gb games on the playstore is a god send EVEN if you did have great internet speed
i just saw a guy download a 2gb 'grand theftu auto SA ' game on youtube USING both wifi and the speed booster and in less then a few minutes he had already over 700mbs downloaded, now thats great for a mobile device

i've been using a iphone for years and trying to learn android and even as a noob i know why (at least i think i know i do lol) its happening
you have "smart network switch' on (and it even TELLS YOU what it does) it will switch between wifi and data to give you a nice stable internet connection
if you turn on 'download booster' it will help in files that are 30mb and large, and it states it recommends on turning off 'download via wifi only' (which i think the option comes up when you download stuff off playstore) to me 30mb is not necessary for the booster thats a waste of data since mobile data is expensive
i'd use it if the app/game is over 1g/2gb since it'll shorten wait times

IT never DIDNT work...

You ruined approx 512 mb of data for this test ??
