Push to Talk For ANDROID!

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.

[Bounty]$50 bounty for developer who can create alarm clock gps position to turn off.

Picture this:
Your alarm clock goes off.
The ONLY way that you can get your alarm to turn off is to go a certain spot in your house detected by your GPS. This would make you to have get up and go to that spot.
Not sure if this is possible or not because of the GPS not being able to detect such close differences, but if so I am willing to pay $50 to anyone that can create this alarm.

No need set the phone on a stand across the room.
from my phone duh

GPS may not work under a roof unless your close to a window. It's GP SATELLITES

Can't help but wonder.... How many jobs you have lost or will lose cuz you won't get outta the bed. Good luck.

I don't miss my iPhone ⁴ not a single bit!!!

When you came from iOS then switch to Android you are going to miss iOS because you are use to it, I almost returned this infuse 4g, but I gave it a shot, when you learn to use this thing it gets better and better every single day, customization is like never ending, when you press a link you have a choice which browser to choose, when you want to call, you can choose to use your minutes or use your data using google voice, and more Dev team case speed the OS it self, + more appetite to choose from and loving Amazon giving a way a paid apparently for free everyday, 4'5 screen yes browsing is a breeze remember 80% of using your smartphone is for browsing yahoo.

I have an iPhone 4 as well and was hoping for the rumored "AmazonWireless all 4g phones free" sale hoping that the Infuse 4g would be free, but it wasn't meant to be
I can upgrade right now but I think I will wait until the galaxy s 2 comes out or the iPhone 5 to see if its worth it then.

You haven't seen anything yet.

I agree. I was a longtime iphone user who finally made the switch to android with the Infuse. At first I was missing certain aspects of my jailbroken iPhone 4, but it took less than a week until I was ready to sell it. I love the 4.5" screen. There is really only two things I miss about my iphone. The text with the retina display was amazing and if I had that on my 4.5" screen I would be in heaven. I also like the way iOS formats emails a lot better. Emails on the infuse are just a lot harder to view as u have to pan around them. I have tried a couple alternate email clients, but still haven't found one I care for.

The Gmail client rocks if you use Gmail. For general mail (with push capability) K9 wins hands down. If you haven't tried K9, give it a whirl.

I agree too much email on phone sucks battery life, unless you do the scheduled pushing, I quit my yahoo and use gmail I think 1 email is better than protecting 4 emails.
The only thing I want is the "3g unrestrictor apps" on iOs where you can fake apps that can be use only on wifi, unrestrict it making the apps think you are connected on wifi where in fact you are using 3g.

I made the switch as well and don't think that I will ever look back. Regardless of what ios has to offer in the future I believe that android is just a better platform.

Ya the ability to change notification sound out of the box is nice compared to ios but I really like the juggling especially for the ringtones. I used to have a bunch of 80's sitcom themes songs set to juggle for every call. Does any body know of a good App to do this? I tried a couple of them but niether worked very well.

My last phone was a ipjone 3g. It's not a comprable phone, but just the OS alone has been enough to make me happy. With the added speed upgrade, it blows the iphone 3g out of the water.

Got my Infuse and iPhone 4 sittin here. Ive tried the Android switch several times and failed. Going to give the Infuse its fair shake though. Hoping for the best!

I agree, I went from iPhone 4 to Android. The only thing I would like to see is better battery life and build quality out of the Android phone line. It always seems like my iPhone lasted forever, and was so rugged, and Android phones feel so plasticy and cheap, and the battery goes soooo fast.
With that said, iOS is like going back in time when using after Android. Sure Android has it's issues, but remember it's only 2 years young, so it's to be expected. I love things like how it adds facebook feeds to a user contact card, and little things like turning the phone upside down to mute a call. Really stuff that just works... it's great.
Welcome from another iPhone 4 convert, hehe

I agree better battery life I can over with that. One thing I hate with infuse takes 3-4hrs to charge on stock charger, I'm using 1amp charger now and still just a little bit under 3hrs. Hope I can find a 1hr fast charger. I bought an extra battery and deskcharger hope it solve my issue, I always stream Justin.TV movies lol
Turning upside down really muted the call? Haven't tried that. Do I need another app for that? Wow I keep discovering new apps. I'll try that. Like Chumly always say AWESOME.
Any link for more info like this. I'm like ¹ week on android so I'm learning.

HAHA, you're funny and your post cracked me up with each sentence. I love it!
When a call comes in, flip the phone over onto it's face-down, and the phone will stop ringing. You'll also notice that if the phone is ringing and you pick it up to see who it is, it detects it's being fondled and turns down the ringer since you obviously know you have a call at that point. There's also a purse mode, so if you have it in a purse or pocket, it knows, and will crank up the ringer on it's own.
I too continue to discover cool stuff.... there's really no central repository for "cool stuff" but rather a bunch of different things around the net you can search for that'll give some cool tips and tricks. Android is fast evolving, so each tick they come out with gives a few more cool features. I bought this phone along with 2 friends, and I'm always hearing "did you see it can do this..." so as they find things they let me know. It's amazing how much they packed into an OS... makes iOS seem primitive, at best, hehe.
Chumley wouldn't be a good fit for a smartphone, he loves fried chicken and the screen would look like it'd gotten deep fried, hehe. I've never seen someone actually use a Chumley reference on here.... kudos! hehe

I went from an iPhone 4 to a Motorola Atrix for a little over a month. Couldn't stand Motoblur so I went back to an iPhone 4. I had a Captivate but didn't like a few things about it. I sold my iPhone 4 for $450 and bought my Infuse of some guy on Craigslist for $400.
I'm loving my Infuse so far, the size has really grown on me. I don't think I can ever get a phone under 4" again. Email sucks on Android if using email other than Gmail, but there are so many things that I enjoy on my Infuse more!

Congrats on the migration. It's funny how many people did the same as you, went Atrix because of the marketing hype. I have never personally used it, but I haven't been a Motorola fan since they killed the quality of production after StarTac.
i too agree the size is amazing. I always said anything more than 4" would be too big but now that I have a 4.5" it really is nice. I find that I text\web browse 95% of the time, and rarely use the phone, so the screen size is the #1 feature.
Regarding mail, I had the same sentiments as you, but quickly realized I was wrong. The phone has activesync built in, so first thing I did was delete the gMail client and use the mail app. You'll need an email that supports it (gmail does using exchange server "m.google.com"), or there's a plethora of other non-gmail providers that do it as well. I used to use GoDaddy's Secureserver.net hosted email, but they charge 30.00 a year for hosted IMAP, and $50 a year for activesync, and to me that's just not worth the cost. So I switched all of my domains over to Google Apps. They host your email (you pay $10 a year for the domain to godaddy) then google hosts the activesync email server, and the best part is it's FREE. It's far better than my iPhone mail experience, you just have to have a little know how to set it up, modify MX records, but google's help section makes it super easy to feel your way through it.
Best of luck.

Best Cyclist App

I'm looking for one with the best options, that can tell me how far I've ridden round trip or one way and specifically if it had a built in gps navigator that would be cool, don't care about keeping track of my tracks/paths, since I usually stick to roads...

Try MapMyRide from Play Store

I like Strava as well. I don't think there is a Cycling app that doesn't track your routes and for Navigation I would just use Google Nav.

Yea I noticed google nav is one of the few gps app's that have the pedestrian mode. I wish more gps app's would add this feature. I'm a fan of Waze GPS but when I have to I use Google Nav. LoL

I use Road Bike Pro. It's pretty nice. Tells your elevation, speed per mile, how far you went and shows you where you went to on Google Earth.

Does it have stats sharing? Looking for one with stats sharing on facebook, me and a girl I know are always joking around bout her having to always go to the gym to keep the body she wants so I'm gunna do a couple of these to poke at her with and play around about. LoL
Yea I know good reason huh? haha
Although last time I had some installed I was to ADHD To remember when to turn it on or off. LMAO

*Goes back to giving Endomondo a try...

Apparently the new Google maps is supposed to have bike directions. And Strava is really good with social stuff. They have this like king of the hill type thing that you can challenge friends to try and beat your times. I know Nike+ has some good Facebook integration since alot of my friends are always posting their runs from it, but I don't know if it has a cycle mode

Looking for the social stuff in Strava but don't see it yet do you have to have a ride recorded first or it is pro/premium membership only? My facebook is linked to Strava...

I've had this idea in my head for a lil while for an exercise app, really not an app for exercising but more of a idea brought into those types of recording app's.
Basically it is/or would be for the exercising app, an automatic pickup and start or recording once a certain number of repetitive movements are involved and recognized by the phone and the app itself... Such as a up and down or side to side movement, since your phone generally goes in that direction whether it's wrapped around the side of your arm while your jogging or running or in your pocket. Sure what would get in the way here is what about walking in general maybe you could add a specific time between each motion, whereas when ya walk ya don't move your arms back and forward as much or fast as you do when running, or if there was a way to measure the force for each movement and it could determine whether to automatically start recording or stay idly by waiting to sense, pickup and start automatically recording.

Alarm clock doesn't always go off

As the title says, I have been having trouble with my alarm clock on my m8. I always use my phone as my alarm clock and one day it didn't go off. So I bought a 3rd party app thinking this would fix it and it did for 2 days, but then again on the 3rd day it didn't go off.
I have it set to repeat every day except for my days off. I have vibrate turned off. I also checked to make sure it wasn't on my task manager's white list. I am on viperone, but not sure what in the ROM would allow it to work every so often. I mean 2 to 3 times out of my work week it will go off. So I'm not sure why it doesn't sometimes.
I have been so paranoid that it won't go off that I have kept my old s4 as a back up. Which I would like to sell, but I want to make sure I can get up in the morning. I have ask my wife to set her phone alarm for me, but she gets really upset because I wake up at 4:30 am every day. Please any ideas would be much appreciated.

Same thing happened to me the other day.
I would suggest selling your S4 and using $15 of the proceeds to buy an alarm clock. Win win.

I agree I could just get an alarm clock... I may even still have one from back in the day. My only problem is my wife. The alarm I have on my phone is quiet and gets louder as it goes off (when it works). For some reason my wife can sleep through that. Lol. You know the saying happy wife, happy life.
