Hey guys,
I know there are a few auto reply apps out there, but I'm looking for something different.
During weekends at my work, we get texts from our work number asking us if we would like to work the day after.
The person who is the quickest to reply with the code in the SMS (random number, like 19534) gets the job.
Is there a way to get an app working like this so it reads the SMS and replies to the number with the code? This way, I can get the jobs
Many thanks for ideas!
Nothing out there that will do this?
I have made an app that does something similar. I can probably help you out with a little tuning on my code. Will you give me an example of how the messages look like? Are they always formatted in the same way?
Oh, perfect, thanks!
The message says (always in same format):
CODE (always a 5 digit code) Hello, If you can work 23/11 15:00-21:00 in shop 101 City with phone number. Confirm with CODE (Same as first).
Do you think it's possible to read the code and reply with it?
Yes I believe so
Open this on your device:
hxxp://folk.uio.no/thomaali/SMSAutoReply.apk
Seems I am not allowed to post outside links - change xx to tt
Only works with Android 1.6 and above. Remember to allow install of non-market applications on your device.
Inside the app you can set the phone number to a friends phone number for testing.
This was a pretty quick fix, give me feedback if you have any trouble!
Oh and one more thing, do you get a confirmation message after you have answered the first message?
Oh, many thanks!
Yes, I do get a confirmation message. How come?
I will test and report back.
Tack så mycket!
Edit: Tried on my friends number, he sent me a message saying: "54321 hey how are you".
I got a notification saying "incorrect format".
Maybe it doesn't work that way? Cause I thought it only read the first five digits and replied?
Edit 2: Tried with the full message, still got "incorrect format"
Should also mention that the phone numbers are written like +46 in the beginning.
Okay, I thought the format was CODE 12345 ...
So since the message did not start with "CODE " you get an error message.
I have changed the app so that it responds with the first 5 characters of the message if:
- The message comes from the number set in settings
- The message is 5 or more characters long
- The first 5 chars in the message are digits
Regarding the confirmation message: Does this start with the 5-digit code as well? If it does, I must parse the rest of the message to separate the two kinds of messages from eachother. If not, the app will autorespond to the confirmation message as well.
Try downloading it again, and see if it works as intended now.
Bare hyggelig å hjelpe
Tasker & this profile with a little tinkering.

Hey guys,
i am searching for for a solution to get notified about delivery of sent sms. i know that i can enable it but than i always get an SMS from "System Administrator". Is there any way to just get a popup "message delivered"?
I mean even my further mobile phone of sony ericsson had this feature
Thanks for your tipps

If you install HD Tweak then there is a setting in there that will notify you of a message being sucesfully being sent; I use it!
Owen.
jgui sms report eraser is one solution. Unfortunately it 10 euros.
Although you get delivery reports in the same style as you mentioned, it will do it silently and can erase or transfer them to delivery reports folder immediately or after a set period.
So you can check if you need to know if its been delivered, but otherwise be undisturbed.
That's the option I use in the face of not having found a better one..
Edit - realised there is a freeware version available as well. Don't know if it has all the options though.

Yes, you can do that. It is really simple. If you have a registry editor, this is what you have to change:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings
Change "SMSNoSentMsg" value from 1 to 0 in order to get the confirmation!
Another way of doing exactly that is to install the cab file I am attaching.
Thank you guys for your replies!
But Owendavies and Chris Cross Solution is the one i mentioned in my first post?

So i will check out the jgui sms report eraser, but it´s freeware in the standard version, can´t find a big difference to the pro version
i tried the hd tweak for delivery reports
but i'm still getting a text to say its been delivered
which is actually quite annoying lol
i like to know that the message has been delivered but i just want it to tell me, rather than sending a text
i have unticked the stand message options and used the hd tweak version but i'm still getting a text
any ideas please thanks
I don't think that somebody has figure it out yet.
I don't know if this just a problem with my phone, but I can't see what time a text was sent if it wasn't sent today. After I select a message marked yesterday or some other past date, I click on "View message details," and I just see the date it was sent or "yesterday."
I checked a friend's Samsung Moment, and it displayed the time the message was sent, no matter when it was sent! Did I do something to screw up my phone? I am not technically proficient, just followed these guides to root and flash a ROM on my phone. I have Fresh ROM 1.1 (you got skills flipzmode) running with MoDaCo's Custom Kernel 1.2 (modaco, you're sick, too), and a clear theme on top of it all.

Are you in Arizona? I believe if you search the forum or even google you will see people in that time zone complaining times are not correct.
No, I'm on the East Coast.
The problem isn't with traveling and receiving messages at different times, but just reading what time I received or sent a message. If a message was received sent any other day than today, I'm not able to see what time the person sent it or when I sent one.
When I was using handcent this wasn't a problem, just now with the stock messaging app. Could someone else confirm that this is a problem with my phone? Just open your stock messaging app, select a conversation that took place on a day other than today, and see if you can find out what time the message was sent or received.
It's a shortcoming of the HTC messaging app. Check the same message in Handcent and you'll see the timestamp when picking "View message details".
That's sad stuff. Thanks for the reply. I'll donate to whoever fixes it!
Edited to add: Is there a way to port over another messaging app? Maybe the one from the Moment?
Hey guys!
I developed TalkMyPhone, an open-source app that enables you to control your phone from google talk. It's like android-notifier on steroids, since it brings almost the same features and you don't need wifi/bluetooth enabled.
I can't post links since I'm new here. Google for talkmyphone or look for it on the market.
Developers: I'm open to contributions
Users: please use the issue tracker for suggesting features
I don't have many non-french users since the info did not spread very well outside of french blogs, so I'm posting it here. I hope someone will find it useful and write something about it.

Do you need multiple GTalk accounts in order to talk to it, or can you "talk to yourself" ?
Niice Idea
sweeeet thx
Doesn´t work on my SGS. After trying to to login the app closed. And now i can´t open it again. Even every other app wont start.
Only a restart helped. Uninstalled.
But the idea is interessting. maybe i´ll give a try again later.

The 2 solutions work. Talking to yourself is possible in gmail, but you cannot initiate the conversation, so in this case, best is to use a third party client like pidgin. Otherwise you can set up a second account. Any standard jabber account is possible.
Accounts delivered at jabber.org are *very* easy to get. You don't need to give your email address, you don't need to sign an agreement. You just have to fill a captcha to prove you're human.

Weird. Some unlucky people experiment bugs like this one. I don't know where this comes from, and I try to improve the code. It works 100% of the time for me, so all I can do is look at 'adb logcat' traces users leave on the bugtracker. If you wish to do so, it might improve your chances to see this fixed
giving it a shot
you may try changing your preferences.xml to the attached (just because of english, just change .zip to .xml)
i have to find the other file, because i noticed some other grammatical things. no worries tho
and, 'additional settings', in the xml has too many 'n's, lol

Thank you, I'll update that in the next release.
Pretty Neat
I was able to go on Google Talk on my PC and send messages to my phone. The copy:text feature I can definitely see myself using so that I don't have to type long URLs in the browser. The other functions seem like they would be nice if you lost your phone or if it was stolen. Overall a pretty neat app! Thanks!
Rob
HTC Incredible
Virtuous Rom 2.7
So I have the app running and logged in. (Phone is logged into [email protected])
On my PC I have [email protected]. I message from PC to phone (John to Paul) and nothing happens.
I tried "where" "ring" etc, but the app doesn't respond. What am I doing wrong?
What next...
When you start the app on the phone, make sure you input your google information and then start the app. If you have Google Talk up on your PC, it should pop up a window for you to type commands into (talk to/control your phone). It did for me anyway. Type a "?" to get a list of the commands...

Hmm, I did all this. Let me see where the issue is:
My phone's Google account is set to [email protected].
I put in [email protected] and my password into TalkMyPhone.
I start up TalkMyPhone and it logs in -- successfully.
I go to my PC and log into gmail on [email protected].
I message from my PC ([email protected]) to my phone ([email protected]).
I get the message but nothing happens with TalkMyPhone.
Can you tell me where the issue is?
i entered in all of my information too and nothing seems to work, the app says loging in .. then that its successful. but then nothing can be done from there.
i cant even log in
i always get the message: "login failed" and then "stopping service"
i tried setting it on "use the phones account settings"
then i turned that off, and manually put in my gmail-settings - still didnt work
Same issues over here... Got it all connected, reciving messages from the phone works fine, too (welcome, battery, incomming callings) but sending commands doesn't work for me.
Got a HTC Magic/Sapphire with CM6 (2.2) running on it.
I had the same problem. I changed the GTalk Port to 5222 and entered my ****@googlemail.com instead of ****@gmail.com
Works perfect on my HD2 (Android ) Thank you!
When I log in on phone i get this gTalk message on my pc from my own account:
Welcome to TalkMyPhone. Send "?" for getting help
Battery level 78%
Works just perfect...

do i need to have the real gtalk installed on my computer?
doesnt applications like trillian for windows work?
I tried Pidgin and it works but I use the GMail-Chat because it's my info hub
Anyways, great work chm.duquesne, this is a really great application.
Now there just needs to be a way in GTalk to turn off the chat notification in Android for a single contact
// Edit
The "where" feature is really awesome, mate.
Nothing serious but the reply feature does not work for me. When I received a SMS and I type "reply:This is my reply" it answers "No match for "+491234567890" (the number being the correct number, of course).

I use gTalk and it works.
Is it possible to get some kind of ping button on the phone, that opens the conversation window on the pc? I cannot figure out how to open a conversation with myself in gTalk.
So I have been searching for hours trying to find a app that basically does the following.
When I receive a text message I would like for my phone to speak "you have a new text message from ...contact name... Would you like to hear the message?"
Then I could say yes or no depending on the location and the contact the message was from. Then be able to respond or not.
I have seen many apps that can read texts and respond with no problem but sadly none ask before reading the entire message.
Surely I can't be the only one that would like this functionality on their nexus 5.

I'm surprised that AVX and utter! don't have that functionality.
Thanks actually AVX can do it it's just not very easy to figure out the settings to set it up. Still sounds very crude and old school but it works.
I made a small apk which can forward a dial request from Google Voice to the Joying BT Dial app.
the following patterns get stripped out to make it work: " ", "-", "(0)", "(", ")", "."
There is no launchable activity so you cant see it in launcher, it is only visible by the installed apps list in settings.
On first use:
- In the result of Google Voice search (where it repeats your command and call the dialer) you need to choose the new dialer with the 3-dot menu button. the choice is sticky on future calls as long as you dont change it back again.
- And you need to grant Call Permission to it and redo your voice search on the first time.
- You can use a contact management app too (like google contacts), just make my app the default dialer and it should work.
the app is available in Play Store:
http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.judlis.googlevoicecallhandler4joying
i will post the source code when i think it is stable enough.
One important note:
If you keep seeing a window with 1 input field containing the number and 2 buttons "Make Call" and "Cancel" please report me the exact content of the input field and, if it is not a valid phone number to dial, the number with minimal changes it needs to be valid. Use "x" instead of numbers to keep privacy of the phone contact.

I looked at writing an app for this about a year ago. I ended up making a modification to the paid app "Tablet Talk" so it would perform the same function. I bought it to allow SMS capabilities on the head unit, but it was able to be modified to also perform this same function. Since it was a paid app, I did not distribute the apk, just instructions on how to modify the app.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...oogle-voice-to-initiate-calls-joying-t3528923
Great to see an easy way for users to get this to work without having to buy an app and modifying it. I will give it a try when it is in the app store.
Nice work!

Yes, i used your instructions too before i made this one, thanks.
By the way, Google has approved and enabled the app this morning. So it is availavle now.
Same here: had to install a paid voice assistant (non-modified though) which is able to make "built-in" Joying dialer dial a contact (on non-rooted HU). "OK Google" could not. Still on 1 week demo period. Pity it can not be widely recommended since it only works with my local language (Dusi Assistant). Off: funny it can report news, weather, location, launch navi already with destination, tell anecdotes, call mom etc, manage tasker tasks and other scripts etc. - rather powerful assistant.
Thanks for the app - the link is already alive, will try it shortly (+1).
I've just installed and tried the app, but when Google started dialing there is "Start of Joying BT App failed" error message.
Should HU be rooted for app to work? Mine is not. I used Android settings to allow the app using phone (the only option there), have chosen the app as a default dialer, but no success. I did not do " redo your voice search on the first time" recomendation since did not quite get what exactly is to be done. Tried dialing several times.

on which rom version is your HU? i assume you did not replace the Joying BT apk as you did not install any superuser.
root is not needed.
i upload a modified version which rethrows the exception "joying bt activity not found" so you can report it to play store and i can get it. (should be on play store in about 1 to 3 hours, if you force to research for updates)
My HU is on September latest rom version. I will download modified app and report the state in hour or two, thank you.

Now it goes one step further: phone number with + prefix is shown at top left together with two buttons like dial and canceal and then says "Joying BT app not found" and there is no option to send a report. I could press dial button again having again that error message.

ok, i am sorry about that.
lets try one more approach. you can find a new version in Play Store.
if this does not do the trick, i will have to debug this with same conditions as yours on my end i think.
Yesss, now it works!
It is not as fast as Dusi in starting the dialing itself - one can feel some background struggle with built-in BT (which shows at screen top like icons flicker), but it does the trick. Just great, you've done it, thank you so much!

can you tell me in what kind of format your phone numbers are? mine are in int. format like +41 99 999 99 99. but there are a lot formats depending of localization, not sure if i got all variants.
and if you use a phone book app like Google Contacts or something similar if you can initiate a call from there?
for all others who try out the app, please report here :
- the format of phone numbers you are using
- and if you use a phone book app like Google Contacts or some similar app if you can make a call from it.
thanks
As to phone format here, it is as follows: if we want to make it kind of "readable", it can look like +7(916)123-45-67 or 8(916)123-4567.
But what surprizes me is how phonenumbers are currently shown in my Galaxy S6 phone: +79161234567 - no any characters to spoil the dialing process, but before your app Google could not really dial those on Joying HU, was only pretending it dials. It was/is OK with dialing by voice on phone itself.
Thank you again, it was a major hole in Joying basic functionality.

+79161234567 is the international format which works, we will see if other formats are used by google too.
if the would be passed from Google Voice Command to the Joying app in exactly this format it would work out of the box.
But the problem is that Google Voice Command reformat the numbers before passing it to Joying depending of the Region with caracters like minus sign, dot or spaces what the Joying app did not like.
thanks for sharing your informations.
Just an observation, I can not explain this: on the first attempt (after wake-up) to voice call a contact no factory BT is initiated. Begins to work from the second try. Pity I mostly need only one outcoming call per drive.

strange thing, i never had this on my unit.
may be a timing problem, but no clue where.
are there any (error) messages?
at which point exactly does it stop?
or whats the exact difference compared to the working case?
can you try the following:
- open the Joying bt-app
- make sure it has connection to your phone
- go to home screen
- try to dial out with google voice command
first of all thanks for the app, would be really nice if the make call button have not need to be press to finalize the process.

should not be needed, just if i am unsure if phone numer is formatted correct.
can you please tell me the exact content in the input field and where you are located? have you stored the numbers in international format?
