Are there any out there? I loved the tmobile IM.apk back when I had the g1 but it doesn't work on froyo and the modified version uses data.
Is there anything else out there that uses SMS instead of data?
I know that AIM has a sms version of their protocol. you can sign on via sms, send ims and receive IMs all via sms. As for an application that does this specifically, I don't know of any, sorry >.<
+1. I want an SMS IM app as well.

yeah aim supports it, but there isnt an actual aim app that actually does it for nexus rite now i believe. the official aim app uses data like many other third party IM apps.
In a perfect world someone would port the one from the G1 to work with froyo. Oh why did Google do away with it?
Trillia have released thier multi-protocol IM client for Android. Runs in 1.6 too...Not available in the market, can be downloaded from here
The app will work with AIM, Facebook Chat, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Google Talk, ICQ, Jabber, WLM, and MySpaceIM, and because it natively supports Android 1.6, it will work with the original Android handset G1. People with phones running more recent versions will receive better resolution graphics, according to the company. Current Trillian users will be able to automatically load their accounts on the phone using Trillian's Astra syncing service.
Some of the app's more esoteric features include "buzzing" your friends as a way to demand attention from them and sharing photos via IM. The app also offers a smooth transition to landscape mode, and in hands-on tests worked just as well with a slide-out keyboard as it did with the soft keyboard.

Hello Everyone,
i've finish working on my application RemotifyMyDroid, and uploaded it to the market place toy can download:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.yazan.remotifyMyDroid&feature=more_from_developer
it sends notifications to your PC, when you got event on your mobile,
best case when you are charging your mobile in a room, and setting in another..
however you can use it in different purposes ...
the phone and the PC should be on the same LAN,
in future i may upgrade it to work over the internet ...
it notifies for those events:
1- Incoming Call (shows the caller number to)
2- Outgoing Call (someone using your mobile to call a number)
3- Your mobile is fully charged (in case you were charging it)
4- Someone unplugged the power of the charger.
5- New Incoming SMS.
to download the PC server
http://www.yazandroid.com/
and go to RemotifyMyDroid (1st link) and it contains some screen shots to.
also have a look at my other FREE 2 applications there
your feedback is appreciated
Yazan.
Sounds great, but I think setting this up might be a tad harsh for general use (firewalls etc). I would suggest building an intermediary platform (web service) to communicate to. That way you can have a very easy setup. For instance, you can use the Google login service to identify yourself from the phone and the notification program and that's it then. No IP's or port numbers as most users don't know what that is anyway.
But for the techies, good start.
Cheers

I will use this when it's possible to use it via the web. Maybe a Chrome/FireFox/IE plugin would be cool?
Really nice idea!
Another suggestion : an honeycomb client
let us be notified about our phone when it's away and we're using our favorite tablet

What a great find... The integration with Growl will be excellent on my HTPC. Also, this allows easy integration with EventGhost through Scripty.
just installed. works fine.
Any chance on a open source version, i would like to see how you did this. an maybe use some of the code in a Domotica project of mine.
Hey another MightyText. At least I can use this one lol.\

Have you ever heard of...dare I say it...variation of ideas? Just because there is something similar out there, does not mean it is identical. Please do not spam dev's threads with others work.

its not a waste of time, and for sure i have learned couple of things while developing this app, its not a waste at all.
otherwise you will see a single app for each purpose ... on pc\mobile ...
one more thing .. why do you think there is Windows , Linux and Mac??
could not other parties just SAVE there time and NOT develop another OS!!!!

Hey, didn't try it yet but I have some suggestions, in addition to a web service:
reply to sms / transfer calls to PC
low battery event
as an option, deliver every notification from notification bar (alarms, songs played, ebay auctions ending, FB msgs, etc.)
cheers
Mac version would be awesome .

Using bluetooth maybe ? PC as a handset (would have to be paired before)
I understand then distance range would come as a limit for many use cases, but could still be enjoyable instead of standing up to pick up the phone !

Zikk is unique mobile to mobile remote support app.
So what's so special about Zikk?
It is designed for consumers and not for IT depatments and operators,
therefore it is extremely simple and user friendly.
It provides full privacy protection - no screen sharing, and no access to SMS, email, etc.
It doesn't require constant internet access, and doesn't prevent the recipient from using his
phone for other purposes during the process.
It supports all Android devices (2.2 and above).
In addition to remote support, Zikk contains a local settings menu which uses Zikk's simple
and friendly interface.
When people have a hard time setting up their smartphones, they ask help from their friends
and family - Zikk enables users to help each other.
APK attached. Also available on Google-Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zikk.alpha)
where you will also find a short and helpful demo video. You van also find the video on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsP9-Lpfwpk).
So both people need Zikk installed, I presume? Does the person you are helping get prompted to download it?

Correct. If the selected contact does not have the app, the user will be asked to allow sending
an automatic SMS with a link to the download page. There is also a share option where you can
send this message (via SMS, WhatsApp, Facebook, etc.) to one or more people.

This really does sound great; however, does it support wifi-only tablets? Is the phone number just to receive verification code? If so, will any mobile phone number work?

The current version is designed for Android phones does not support WiFi-only tablets or
large screen tablets, however in a few weeks I will publish the tablet version, which will
include UI adjustments, tablet related features and a different registration process.
Sounds AMAZING! I'd really like to use this to help my friends and family. I live in India though
No worries, I'll wait
fantastic idea!!! this will surely take off!! kudos to the OP!!
how far this app will go ? I mean can I help someone from anywhere ?
What about phone types? What if my phone is a Nexus and the other device is a HTC?

Great ideas for the next version - thank you very much!
I like the app a lot, but what make it one of the best is if I could move, install, & uninstall system apps, and a root file manager so that we can help rooted users also
uninstalled this app from my Galaxy Note i717 and now the home screen is gone and I cant get back into recovery?
oh cool its like remote assistance for android!

Actually a version for rooted users is an interesting idea. Not sure how common "less tech savvy"
rooted users are though. If you have more ideas for features for rooted users I would love to hear them.
I actually have a friend who is just getting into root use who calls for advice when he needs it. Let's be honest we were all beginners once and maybe could have used a little hand. He moved recently so there is distance involved now. This looks like a great idea.
I would love to have access to the settings menus, root file explorer and perhaps apps he already has installed such as set CPU or apps of that nature.
Beginners in root use are just as confused by root abilities as beginners in android are of it's stock features at times.
It would be really great to be able to start a log cat app and have your friend do something that normally causes a crash for example if they are not advanced enough to run one themselves. A current issue I have on hand. Trying to explain how to run one and sending videos to watch.
Hope this keeps going :thumbup:

How is the development going on. Any new updates. I have removed the app since the gateway is not working for Kochi, Kerala. If you could gateways like fullonsms, way2sms ultoo. Then it will be great. They are the fastest one sms delivers. Other gateways sometimes send msgs. But I wonder where its going to without receiving in mobile.
Sending sma does not work for me...i tried many time...

Nice App!!
First of all, thank you for giving a mirror!
Unfortunately, the person I've texted didn't recieve any msg till now. This is probably a fault on YouMint's side, not the app. So, please include some other popular gateways (Way2sms, for example)
For the app itself, it's nice. I tried many apps from playstore (especially Free SMS India, now discontinued), but none of them worked. So hoping that this will work nicely.
The interface is pretty, unlike those apps I've tried before (A little girly though, but doesn't matter ); and it's simple, making it easy to use.
Some suggestions:
1. As mentioned before, please include some more gateways.
2. Implementation of emojis like other messengers would be nice.
3. A silly one, but why don't you remove the white background from the app icon? Only the "W" might be nicer.
Hoping for some new updates.
