So far every app i've tried all require me to input my login credentials which i don't feel safe doing.
Does anyone know of any applications that uses Google authentication to tricker a GV call back? im trying to use this with Sipdroid for true VOIP calling over data.
Thanks guys.
Does any one use google voice with sip gate here?

AFAIK you cannot trigger a callback with and unauthorized client since the clients spoof the GV webapp's callback feature (not entirely certain on that one.). So you will have to trust one of the current apps, use the gv mobile website or wait for/request a client to use OAuth or some other protocol that does a similar method of authentication.
Thanks guys.

I am have that exact setup: GVoice->Sipgate->Sipdroid.
Works great on wifi but kinda sucky over 3g. But hey it is free...!
Yeah ill just have to create a throwaway account for this since i dont feel safe passing my credentials to a third party app.
Just got this new AT&T Avail (android 2.3), which I'm really happy with but its not on the list of supported devices to use with the AT&T Address book. Which I wouldn't give a damn about, if the Address Book wasn't needed to access AT&T's "My Messages" app.
So what do I need to do here? Change the IMEI? Yes, I read the sticky, and no, I will not need lube because I am in the legal right of way, because my device is on the list of supported devices for the My Messages app.
I'm not sure if I need to convince the app ( https://market.android.com/details?id=com.voxmobili.attaddressbook&hl=en ) that I own a supported phone, or if I need to convince the server side that I own a supported phone. From my search here on XDA, it doesn't look like installing that app is going to be a cakewalk either. Even people who do have supported devices have a hard time re-installing this app.
Google does all that for you in contacts!
Just search the market for a good messaging app.
IMHO.

Acquiring a functional AT&T address book* is a prerequisite to getting AT&T's cloud service (aka My Messages). What it does is when you get a phone call or sms, you will also be alerted to that phone call or sms via desktop and tablet. The only way to do this with Google is to use Google Voice. The problem with that is the phone calls are routed through Google voice servers and there is a noticeable depreciation in quality.
I spent quite a bit of time looking for messaging app that will perform a similar function. After lots of searching I found android-notifier. Which isn't a cloud service but that's not the main problem. The main problem is that even though it has an .apk, that .apk is only used to broadcast to your desktop receiver. There is no .apk to receive notifications on other android devices (ie: my tablet).
*For further clarification, AT&T address book is a cloud based app. It can also be accessed from the desktop browser. Same with My Messages
The model of phone in in the build.prop in the android software and can be changed. Sorry not a Developer.
It looks like AT&T should update their app for all their phones.

Anyone have a password safe app that will synchronize its database with your desktop computer, preferably windows?
I use Password Safe (a SourceForge project) and it works great, but I need something that also has an Android client that I can sync somehow... like through DropBox, maybe.
Any suggestions?
lastpass?

Thanks. Not a bad idea.
Looks like you need LastPass Premium ($1/month) in order to use the Android client. I'm not sold on keeping my passwords on someone else's website yet, though.
I'm surprised that no one makes a client for either Password Safe or any other program. Seems like it would be a popular thing.

They're stored on data encrypted servers. They've never been breached either.
I'm using mSecure, great app and got option to sync password database using dropbox or wifi connection with your pc

Hi friends i am trying to search a firewall app which cam limit specific internet connections in specific apps, but not found it yet.
For example i wanna limit my browser to acces every google connections by ip or hostnames as following.
*.Google.Com
Or
8.8.4.4
So does anyone know a firewall like that?

android firewall can make it as you wish
Not sure if it has the exact feature you desire, but the Avast mobile security firewall seems rather comprehensive.
So, I live in Mexico. There is a company called Movistar (Telefonica in EU) and I have one of their pre-paid plans (I use a Nexus 5).
The pre-paid plan is the equivalent of $15 US dollars every 30 days. You just go to any convenience store or a big retail store and you pay at the register.
Well, my pre-paid plan offers me:
500 minutes to any company, USA and Canada numbers included.
100 SMS to any any company.
Unlimited minutes and SMS to any other Movistar phone.
Unlimited access to WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter and Gmail.
250MB of data.
And for some strange reason, I can stream Spotify too, unlimited, even if I use the 250MB.
Well, after I use the 250MB (in like a day), everytime I want to access, for example, a website, I get redirected to a Movistar page that says that I consumed the 250MB. OK, that's fine. Perfectly normal.
Obviously I can still use Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, Gmail, both apps and website versions.
But, most of the Google services still work. Keep, Drive, Docs, Maps, most of the syncing too (no YouTube).
But I also have HotSpot Shield installed ($25 US dollars per year) and if I'm connected to the VPN, I get absolutely unlimited Internet.
How? Why does that happens? I'm not complaining, I'm just curious.
Sounds like they're analysing the packet headers looking for a user agent string of the browser

Either they analyze the packets as said above, or they lock your data down via IP, which is unlikely since it would need to be static.

I'm thinking its the former. Some UK carriers use this method to detect tethering. You could tether an iPad but then browser would bring up a carrier page stating that tethering couldn't be used but fat client apps that don't use user agents (Facebook etc) worked fine. It kind of makes sense given the symptoms, although its a strange beat to do it in this instance.

Haha either scenario would be strange.
Thank you guys for your responses.
So, why do I unlock unlimited data when I activate HotSpot Shield VPN? For example, the other day I did a test and I downloaded over 10GB of data (using a torrent client). And it's all prepaid. No hidden fees and stuff.
Also... something weird happens when I finish my 250MB.
The signal/data icon becomes orange instead of white and I don't get Facebook notifications anymore (I still get WhatsApp, Gmail and other notifications, but not Facebook).
And let's say that during the day I received 50 messages from Facebook.,, as soon as I connect to a WiFi or if I activate the VPN, I get the 50 notifications of the messages all at once.

To elaborate on my scenario. A browser has a user agent string. For example, this may say you ate using Firefox on a desktop computer. Some mobile carriers have a database of all "desktop" user agents and if this is what they detect through packet analysis, will block it. They will also do the same for things that say safari tablet. ...or maybe even they detect you have nexus 5 and only allow that user agent string.
So flipping that in reverse, maybe your carrier only looks for android mobile, or whatever your user agent string is. Check here using a browser...
http://www.whatsmyuseragent.com/
For chrome I get:
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 4.4.4; Build/KTU84Q) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/37.0.2062.71 Safari/537.36
Yet for dolphin in desktop mode I get:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_3; en-us) AppleWebKit/537.16 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0 Safari/537.16
See in the last how it doesn't say android? This user agent string is used by *most* sites to detect you're mobile and therefore give you mobile websites instead. Changing bathe string can give you desktop mode instead. That's what dolphins "desktop" mode does. Note, some sites use a new method I don't understand yet.
Browsers always have a user agent, whether you're osx, iOS, linux , windows, android etc. Most non_browser apps do not have one. That's why torrent clients, Facebook, Tapatalk maybe can work on tether and not browsers. If you receive back message only in a browser yet other apps work, it stands to reason that this is how it could be done. You can test it. Install dolphin and set to desktop mode. Still get the message?
For the VPN question, I'll keep it simple. Whenever you communicate over a network, you are transmitting packets of data. This data has information attached, such as then user agent string. These packets are seem by the network you are travelling through. If you load Google, in simple terms, you send a packet asking to load Google, to Google. Google responds with a packet that will be the web page. The network sees this because it routes the traffic.
With a VPN (virtually private network) you are creating a tunnel between your end point device (n5 in this case) and a server. This tunnel, burrows through your network to then server. Then tunnel is impenetrable. The network cannot see then packets. They're encrypted. It cannot see any user agent string or anything else. It doesnt need to either as your network does not route the traffic inside the tunnel. When you VPN tons server then load Google, the server uses its internet connection to load the page. The server sends a packet to google using its network. You are connected into the same network as the server so your carrier sees nothing.
To try and clarify my VPN rambling... Imagine a laptop for a company you work. You plug a network cable in on site and you connect to their network. You can see intranet and network drives. Pull out cable, gone. Go home, still gone. VPN is a way of creating back network connection into work as if you were on site. With a cable. It creates a secure, encrypted connection between you and your company.
I hope this helps.

Unproven theory in your case
Sorry about all the typos above. I can't remember having typed that much on my n5 keyboard ever before.

Do you have a theory for this?
Something weird happens when I finish my regular 250MB.
The signal/data icon becomes orange instead of white and I don't get Facebook notifications anymore (I think I don't get WhatsApp and Gmail notifications too, but I can't remember).
And let's say that during the day I received 50 messages from Facebook during work... as soon as I connect to my WiFi at home or if I activate the VPN, I get the 50 notifications of the messages all at once.
Orange just means no connection to Google servers. Some apps that are not browsers are detectable in a similar way to user agent string. It all fits in with the theory. You'll have to test it yourself.
Facebook, who can theorise anything with that?
