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...

i changed @gmail.com to @googlemail.com
and it logs in now....
but i dont get any messages....
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.

where did I call you a liar? I said that it wasnt working and that a lot of other people were having issues so to put pictures to back your instruction so we can see where some of us could be doing it wrong... sheesh talk about over reacting a tad.... for example maybe Im doing a step wrong so by adding pictures we get confirmation of what we are doing, so like this step "Open browser, change ua to linux desktop, mac desktop or IE6" could you expand on this a bit more?
okay the only ua string options I see is
Android - Doesnt work get message that I need to update Adobe Flash
Desktop - Doesnt work get the same message
iPhone - Does work but so far every tv show, movie, clip, or trailer I click say The video is not available on the iPhone
so ya if you can go over the string part and let us know which your using that would be appreciated.

Well, it does,
just takes the ability to know that you have to complete all the steps listed in any instructions for anything to work.
a correct way to say it, would have been something like:
"I tired your apk, and here is a pic of the error, ( insert pick here)
I see that your on such and such rom, does it only work for that style of rom, or did I do something wrong?"
Well something, somewhere around something like that.

That's my thread I linked you too.
Be humble, newcomer
Be more respectful, to all in this community.
Give facts about what rom you tried this exact one on.
The more info you give when asking for help, the more help you get.
"Open browser, change ua to linux desktop, mac desktop or IE6" could you expand on this a bit more?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now,
open your stock browser
Press menu
Go to setings
(Some stock browsers make you got into Advanced settings to see next option, some don't)
Select user agent
If your browser doesn't offer this option, you fail a step and the logical next step is to get a browser/rom that has that option.
so then what browser are you using then and what string are you using, obviously it would make sense to post your exact settings if its working for you. if your running a custom string then alright Dolphin HD lets us use custom so again like you said providing more information helps and works both ways.
I I just recently totally reformatted my hard drive because I thought I had a virus and couldn't find it. But after reinstalling everything and making sure that I didn't have anything I discovered that when I log into XDA and I stay on for some length of time all of a sudden I start getting commercials playing. How do I stop these?

Huh, I dont know what you are referring to. Screen shot perhaps? I assume whatever it is, it depends on flash and the easiest way is to disable flash. The browser I use lets you disable it per site or only enable when you click. I assume other browsers have something as an extension.

I dunno. I never have it happen on any other site. This is the only one. I don't see any ads. Its just audio. I've hunted it down and hunted it down but havent found where it is on here.

Weird. If you get something like firebug or http headers extensions on firefox, they will let you find out what external links are loading. If you can get me some sort of dump or screen shot, I can tell you what to block in your host file. Chrome has the developers tools that show the same stuff or Opera has Dragonfly, so whichever you use.
Opera though, you can right click on the page → content tab → edit site preferences → turn off plugins. That's what I do at least or disable them on all sites and enable when I need them, just for better security.
Pretty sure the other browsers have flashblock, but last I knew and don't quote me on it, flashblock runs the just for a moment before it shuts off the flash since it's an extension. If the flash happened to be malicious, that could possibly be bad. Just semi off topic, but just something that was true and may still be.
If you don't want to deal with all that, you can use my hosts file that I use on my desktop, it's smaller version of the one I use for mobile thats posted with a script to install/update it in the developer's section of the forum.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/24904191/hosts-desktop
rename it "hosts" and stick it in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts on windows (must open notepad with admin privilages) or on linux/osx, it goes in /etc/hosts.
I wouldnt normally advocate for blocking ads on xda, but if they have anything that automatically plays audio, that draws the line for me.

Hi.
I got a simple question for you all here.
I don't seem to find a method to upload a picture to my friends walls. There is only an option to upload images to my own wall. But how do I send it to someone others wall?
Thanks in advance,
Pemell
Post fb picture on wall
I also miss this feature. I've been searching for it a long time now and it seems it is currently not possible.
I tried going to the official facebook page and even over there it's not possible. (It is, but you cannot browse for the file)
I am now going to try it by going to the mobile site of facebook and the touch.facebook.com site. I'll let you know it it's possible over there but I wouldn't count on it.
I tried it to. The only way I found possible was to send the photo to my macbook and upload it there.
It wasn't possible through the phone at all. Bugger.
Though please keep me posted if I'm missing something.
It looks like it's not even possible to do this using the official Facebook app. Lame.
As for using the browser, it's actually a limitation of the permissions system. The m.* and touch.* sites aren't going to add any more permissions! Mobile IE actually runs in the same kind of sandbox as normal apps, meaning essentially no access to the filesystem. However, it *could* use a PhotoChooserTask (or similar) if Microsoft had bothered to implement that.
Hallo people friends,
A business partner of my friend has installed a spy software called ispyoo , on my friends unrooted android phone. How should we remove it?

Thank you , see you.

i dont know the app you mentioned, but im guessing if you go into the system app folder, you probably would be able to see it there, and delete it.
EDIT: i looked into ispyoo a bit, try dialling
#4779*
and see what that gives you.

But the app isnt showing in system folder too. That number is not working either. you can see how they trickfully said on that website "(Once iSpyoo is installed you will find a new icon on your phone. Or to make dial #4779* to open iSpyoo.)"
They dont want users to remove it easily.
But we know its there, because he got email confirmation of ispyoo is activated. And whatsapp conversation word files are being created automatically..

well its an app, so it definitely has to be somewhere. you can try /device>data>app, thats where user apps are, it might be there. failing that, i would download es file explorer and go the topmost folder, that contains all other folders, and search for all apk files, it probably will find it. if it dosent, search again with ispyoo as the saerch keyword, if tthat still hasnt found it use recovery to totally wipe the entire device.
or just ask the person who put it on to remove it.

Hallo
They have option to login to the website with usersname and password, and then go to uninstall option. It gets uninstalled from there to your phone.
We cornered the guy!!, and then he(scared) removed it using the users name and password he signed up for it. (A legendary old method for app solution!)
It even had option to disallow certain apps, or stop apps in the target phone. Do you believe? Now all good.
Thank you for your concern and help )

Hello bro, were you able to remove it from iphone? I had no idea... may be you reset the iphone? I hope something worked for you.
so, question still remains, how do you check the program is installed or not if it is hidden?
To check if the app is installed or not (while its hidden) you should have root access in your phone. Open the root directory and system folder and search for the installed apps. In this folder you will see all the installed apps on your phone wether they are hidden or visible.
Btw these days not only the syping apps are spying on users but even the utility or gaming apps spy on users via microphone or taking screenshots of device display to collect data and show revelent ads to them.
