TiKL for Android is a Push to Talk app that uses Voip. Just found this today on the market and have been playing around with it with some friends. Has great potential! I cant post links yet, (if someone could help me out and post one) just do a search for TiKL in the market.
Great app love it has g great potential. Love waking my wife up in the mornings with it. Needs a contacts widget so all you have to so is click on their person to chirp them

Ok
someone please explain to me the usefulness of push to talk. I really never got it, and seriously want to understand how it is used and why it's different than calling someone? And I'm not being sarcastic. REALLY I AM NOT!
Is it just a "doesn't cost minutes" thing? Just a real world scenario where you would use this instead of calling would be great.
We run UPS and Generator tests at my job and there are like 5 of us that need to stay in constant contact with each other while the tests are going on. Some of us are on the first floor of the building, some are on the fourth floor and its way easier to just push to talk rather than dialing every time.

i have had this app for about 2 weeks now and i must say i like it alot..great potential and yet easy to use..i can see this app being around for quite some time with the amount of downloads and 4-5 star ratings from tons of users that have downloaded so far...
two things it needs
1. widget
2. some type of contact list instead of the pop down menu
thanks OP!!!!!!!!!
any way for me and my buddy to communicate with push to talk? he is on WM and IM on android.
Not at the moment. TiKL is only for android.
great app but kills my battery!
this is a nice app, and i dont want to scare anyone away from it but one time a friend of mine was still transmitting to me long after he stopped pressing the button and had put his phone down with the screen off. He wasent able to stop transmitting until after using a task kill

Havn't had that problem yet. It is still in beta remember.
OMG, I saw this video on that new app for the Galaxy S.
Is there a way to port it to the EVO?
Road SMS KB App on Galaxy S
saw it too, pretty sweet im def interested
Now thats an Interesting feature....
In for this.
That is brilliant.
That is sweet!!!
guessing its just goinna be an apk, direct install, but you never know..
that is sweet, we will have it before you know it. it will just be an apk I assume
Better yet, can we get it as a live wallpaper?
that app is cool. such a simple yet brilliant idea.
I like and wouldn't mind having it on our phone. BUT, when I text, I don't hold my phone in front of me. I usually have it down a bit lol. None the less I wouldn't mind seeing it on our phone
is ther ea keyboard like that in the market with just clear buttons, I would love to have that.
This is gonna drain battery like crazy, isn't it?

Pretty [email protected] cool feature if you ask me.
Hopefully this will reduce the number of wrecks-while-texting, but then again I think to myself; "How many people will actually own this phone AND use this feature"

I think its meant to be used while driving so you can hold the phone up and still keep an eye on the road. Thats the only time that I'd ever use it. I dont text and drive often....but it sure would be helpful those times that I do it.
I'd be safer if I just called them though, LOL

Samsung clarified that it is for pedestrians. Could you imagine the **** storm if they were encouraging driving and texting in any way?
Awesome!
Wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of some jerk that hit my car because he thought he could see the road in front of him using the Road SMS app lol
Unfortunately something tells me that what was once thought to be a good idea on Samsung's part, will eventually lead to lawsuits because of ignorant people
Hi, I was wondering if there was any way to password protect shutting off an android phone. For example, when holding down the power button and clicking "shut down" on the popup menu, I want to have to enter a pin in order to shut off the phone. I have a Motorola Droid. I'm rooted and running CyanogenMod 7 (if it matters). Thanks!!

You have found the one thing Apple trumps Android with! My entire paradigm has just collapsed around my fragile psyche!!
Sent from my rough sketch of a Vibrant on a brick.
I guess I wasn't clear enough. I just used shut down as an example, which would be flawed by a simple battery removal. What I'm actually going for, is to make the popup menu (the one with shut down, airplane mode, silent) not pop up unless the phone is unlocked. I don't want some random person to be able to pick up my phone and put it in airplane mode or silent mode. I know that it is possible, because there is actually a toggle for it in the settings of the miui rom.
Bump bump bump!!!!
Apple trumps Android???? HaHaHa
Never has, and with regard to this thread and the desire for a password protected power button," now (2012) especially.
***HTC EVO 4G LTE***
Can't remove battery... and possibly others?
I believe this app would have to restrict access to the menu that pops up to shut down, as well as override the ten second reboot feature of the EVO LTE.
Needless to say, I have searched a little first for it in the EVO LTE forum among others, but there seems to be a reason to revive this thread now!
Hope I'm not acting like a NOOB as described in the . . *ahem* . . . "Welcome" video...
If anyone read this thread and also needs/needed an answer, please bump it and/or included a link to the thread or page or anything that has a definitive answer.... I know I'm not the only one who would greatly appreciate the help!
:good:? O.K....
The Nexus 4 doesn't have a removable battery and such a feature would be great for a stolen phone.. The only way to shut it off would be to adb into it.
Im also looking for this feature to protect my Nexus 4 if atole.
Hmm...

I know I started this thread a WHILE ago...but especially since a lot of the newer phones have non-removable batteries, this seems like a must. What about some way to disable the popup that appears when longpressing the power button (with airplane mode and stuff on it) from the lockscreen. So, you would only be able to access this after unlocking the phone. This is actually been baked into the MIUI Rom, and I'm wondering why others haven't adopted it. Does anyone know if this feature could be ported? It doesn't seem like it would be that hard.
AGREE 110%
This is a HUGE flaw in the smartphone world. I'm glad my Nexus 4 has no removable battery and I feel all phones from now on should follow. Why make it easier for the thieves? I've tried to find an app or something out their with no luck. I messaged Lookout Mobile Security about this BIG issue and hopefully you guys can request it as well here https://www.lookout.com/help. Just click on Send a Request and then just sign in. Hopefully they can implement this vital feature in their security app. If theirs any smart people out their who can make this feature on their own I applaud you. Your phone will let you know where its at even if its off using Lookout online, but without out the phone screaming (a feature within Lookout that makes your phone emit a really loud sound) it's like looking for a needle in a hay stack. Either click on the link and let them know you want this feature or create one yourself. It just makes security apps on ANY phone totally useless without this feature.
Completely agree. I submitted a feature request as well. Let me know if you hear anything

I just though about the same thing yesterday & to my surprise there is no such app. This should've been the most easiest thing to make I believe, just a pin to switch off.
Why hasn't no one thought about this??
OK, this may be an odd question but here goes...
My phone's been playing this weird Sci Fi type sound at completely random times. I have no idea if this is due to a system function or an app. I've used ES File Manager to scan the SD card for all media files and it's not on the card. It won't scan the system directory and Root Explorer doesn't seem to have a scan function either. I've only noticed this happening once every few days and when I check the phone afterward I don't see any unfamiliar alerts or messages.
Took me a while to track down a reasonably facsimile... It sounds similar to the last sound in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPOU-AUuxKw&feature=related
(skip to 2:08)
What ROM are you using?
It's rooted but it's the stock ROM. I got the phone right after Christmas because my HD2 just up and died. After rooting and de-bloating the phone I haven't felt the need, yet, to try a custom ROM.
Also, I've disabled the bootup animations.
Wow, that's freaking creepy!
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Definitely creepy. No notifications or anything, eh? I'd probably make a backup of the contacts (if you're not synching them with T-Mobile or Google already) and anything else that's important, then do a factory data reset to see if it continues to happen.

Hahaha... Right?! It played at 4:30 this morning. The phone was just sitting on the night stand. So it's got to be some sort of system function or application that's being run by the OS. I've double checked all the ring tones and notification tones for all email, messaging and calendar apps and can't find it anywhere. If this sound persists I'll just have to go with the "my phone is possessed" explanation.
After some more investigation, I've found this sound is made by a musical instrument called a blaster beam. (Of course, if there is a Blaster Beam App, it's not installed on my phone. ) And it actually sounds closer to the sound of the seismic charges from Star Wars II. The two sounds are compared here:

This is just really freaky.
Yeah, weird sound. LOL. I can't fathom what would make it do that.

No, nothing out of the ordinary. When I heard the sound this morning I checked and there was nothing but a couple gmail notifications. I checked the gmail and email properties, of course, and there is no such sound in the list.
Yeah, if I can't figure out where this is coming from I'll do the factory reset. Not quite ready to do that yet, though. Got to admit... My curiosity is getting the better of me.

I had that happen to me before for. It was coming from twicca one of those twitter applications that updates at random times. I just changed the notification settings and it fixed it.$ee if you have any twitter or even Facebook notification.

Huh. Good suggestion but that's not it either. I don't have a twitter app installed and though I do have Facebook, I never stay logged in. Checked it anyway, though, and none of the notification sounds are the right one.
But thanks for the suggestion.
I posted a couple examples above in the thread but this is as close as I can find to the sound (as I remember it). http://www.thepickofdestiny.com/temp/BlasterBeam2.mp3
Is the sound anywhere in your media folders? Under settings> sounds> notifications, what sound is set for notifications?

Nope. I cant find that sound file ANYWHERE and that's what's so weird. And all my notifications are set to "silent."

Restore to a stock ROM with either odin or heimdall, and reinstall are your apps one by one... Do you have any kind of av program? Try running a scan to see if you got some kind of virus...

Still on the factory stock ROM. Never loaded any custom ROMs. The only thing I've done to the OS is root. And that was primarily so I could install Titanium and lose the bloat that Samsung & Tmo put in.
Currently running Lookout AV. If there's a better one out there I'll try it. I've only been playing with Android devices for a couple months so I'm still pretty new in this arena.

OK, question answered. (And now I feel really stupid.)
The reason I couldn't find that sound file anywhere on the phone is because it wasn't coming from the phone. (DUH!) The sound file is called "Radon" and it was coming from my Galaxy Tab 10.1 which was sitting nearby. It was an alert notification coming from the built-in email client. I only found it because I was checking my Tab this morning when an email came in and I saw the notification flash in the status window. I probably hadn't made the connection before because I usually have the sound off on the tab so as not to disturb the wife while she's sleeping. (I can sleep through anything.)
Thank you all for your helpful suggestions.
I'm going to go lie down in the street, now.

While we wait, can you share what you think would be a useful scenario where pulling up a webpage on a tiny watchscreen will be more convenient than just pulling out your phone and doing it that way? I'm really curious and maybe you have a great idea I haven't considered.
Some kind of situation when you want to check things without hands free? Checking live train times while carrying luggage or checking football scores while it's raining perhaps?

Either of those scenarios you just mentioned are great, but voice commands w/ S Voice would be more useful (if it can even do this - I know Google Now can get me this info from my phone, but S Voice on the Gear currently just comes back and says "sorry, we couldn't find the answer to your question".
Also, if your hands are full, what makes you think that opening up and typing a web address on the watch's little screen will be "hands free"? You can't even interact with the watch without touching it with your other hand.

How would you navigate an app or browser without using you hands/fingers? Your football score scenario is already accomplished via ESPNs Score Center app. It can be configured to send notifications based on team preferences (i.e. notify of scoring plays during your fav team games).
And now that I think about it, if only the Google Maps app could be configured to send turn-by-turn notifications, we would sort of have GPS on our Gears.

oh I forgot about the turn by turn functionality - Pebbles can do this, even though I never got a chance to use it since my phone is mounted on my dashboard. Would be useful when walking in a city, though - without keeping your phone out. The problem of course is the watchscreen turns off again and you have to touch the watch and navigate to the app again to see the next direction.

Yep, and shortly after I posted this I came up with an article about that Pebble feature... however, it seems it is limited to the iOS version of Google Maps because it is able to send normal push notifications for each turn.
