Hi,
Although I'm a seasoned Android user, I've only just in the last week taken my first foray into app development. My first app is a very simple concept and promotes a service I've been running for almost ten years now: Simply Dial, (market link: market://details?id=com.stunshot.android.SimplyDial.
Simply Dial is an instant dial service that allows you to make cheap international calls from the UK to destinations worldwide, starting at just 1p/min. There is no need to open an account, give any credit card details or get yet another bill through your door. All you need is a phone, the relevant instant dial access number and someone to call.
To use the app, choose your destination from the drop-down menu. You will be shown an access number and the per minute rate you will be charged. Although I've added an option to dial the number directly from your phone, please bear in mind that all rates shown are what you would pay if you called from a BT Residential landline on 20/04/2012 and include VAT. Individual call rates are subject to change at any time. Rates for calls made from mobiles and other service providers are likely to be considerably higher, so I highly recommend using the app to find the access number you need and then dial it from a landline. That said, I believe some networks include certain 08- numbers in their price plans - please check with your provider.
When you dial the appropriate access number for your destination, you will hear a prompt. At any time after this, dial your international number in full, including 00. Your call will be connected and the only charge you will see on your bill will be the call to the Simply Dial access number.
Please check out my app and provide feedback either through the Play Store or post directly to this forum. I'm quite excited about getting into Android development and am wondering what to take on for my next project. All feedback, both positive and negative, will be highly appreciated
Cheers,
Dan

Hi,
The link was a direct link to the Market/Play Store - I've updated the OP with links to both the web Play Store page and also a direct market link.
Cheers,
Dan
Good work
Thank you for adding the normal link since i am using a desktop browser
I checked and +1'd your app, i would say very good taking to consoderation that it is your first app, i also see it valuable
Enhancements: you just need to work more on UI since it seems little plain/basic compared to other apps

Thanks very much Yes, I agree it could do with a bit more polish. I also thought about maybe having a "Save to Favourites" option to give quick access to the user's most used destinations.
Cheers,
Dan

With [email protected] installed and running, if you leave your phone at home, you'll have no messages and phone calls missed at all!
How it works:
1. start the app and keep it running background, waiting for specific SMS commands
2. if you left your phone at home, just use another phone nearby to send a command to your phone to initiate the service (you'll get feedbacks if the function is enabled in Settings )
3. all SMSs received at home will be forwarded to the phone you want, and everyone who calls your phone will be notified the reachable number
4. you may stop the service at anytime
I think this is an usefull app, nice idea!
I have not tried it, but a suggestion:
if a specified command is received via sms, turn on data connection, wifi or network (I always have off it), and send mail to specified address that report sms and calls lost.
This is because sometimes you can have Internet access, but not a phone to redirect calls.
Thank you very much for your great suggestion! Am working on the data connection right now. Just like you mentioned, we can get logs from a data connection in the web page later
Sorry I have not understand this point:

Only now I have see that it is a paid app so... I will not try it
Furthermore I have problem with my phone and I can't install anything.
Anyway another thought, perhaps you have already done, but I have not saw, in the case excuse me: specify number of second phone in the sms command, it could be different every time and I know it only when realize that have forgot my [email protected]
currently, you have two ways of specifying the forwarding number, the first one: you can type it in Settings, it is recommended if you have two daily phones; the other way, by default, the app will take the number from which you send the commands. So, it is pretty flexible.
You cannot use xda to sell/advertise paid applications. You can provide either a lite version or a free version for the community, but under XDA rules promotion of paid software is not allowed.
oh my.. So sorry about violating the rule... should 've read the rules carefully. apology. pls lock/move/delete this thread.

I created an account and am fiddling around with it.
Looks good so far. One small remark, when you advertise full control, it would be nice to actually have full control.
Enabling GPS etc..
Will play around with it in the next few days and I'll report back my findings.
Please, don't take my comment the wrong way, I like what you've created so far !

Great news!
Now all transmission of data occurs over an encrypted channel (SSL)... even more secure!
The server upgrade is over and all services are up again.
Remote Phone is ready to sync more and more users! Yeahhhh..
Has anyone tried this besides me?
Hi, I'm the founder of CopyCopy. Really interested in your feedback about our instant cloud clipboard service. This is the first time we've posted it online!
What does it do for me?
Copy & paste content between devices instantly.
Keep anything for later just by copying useful information from any app.
Simply copy anything twice, in any app and you can paste it on any device, or leave it in your CopyCopy account for future reference. We're also rolling out features to make it simple to tag and search anything that you've copied. Think of it as Pocket for your clipboard.
It works for any content - from text & photos, to web content, and files.
What the download link?
Play store link.
You can download the counterpart desktop (Mac or Windows) apps from our website.
What else can it do
Our webapp lets you view your clips from any browser, and you can tag and filter your clips to find them later (beta).
Keywords are quick way to recall any content. Assign a short alias to any clip, and whenever you copycopy that alias you can paste the associated clip. For instance, assign the word "visa" to your credit-card number and you can paste in your credit card to any payment form on any device just by copycopying the keyword "visa". Or assign an alias to a link so you can use that keyword as a bookmark from any device.
What if an app doesn't have copy & paste (e.g. Facebook)?
Install Universal Copy which allows you to copy from almost anywhere, after which you can copycopy that content and have it available on all your devices instantly! See our help article on this.
For data that you can't copy (e.g. photos, media), just share

with CopyCopy.
Will it cost me?
It free to copy for up to 50 things per month, and 5 keywords per year. All users get Pro usage for the first 30 days.
Our Pro plan has no limits and cost $1.50 month ($15/year) or refer a friend to get bonus usage.
Does it work without root?
Yes. This is an app that grandma is supposed to be able to use.
Why so many permissions?
Because of phone history function which makes it easy to copy recent actions on your phone.
We're all geeks here. Share you biggest technical challenge, please.
Staying alive on Samsung and similar phones that aggressively kill background services is difficult. We haven't really tried to solve this yet but behaviour has improved with the latest phones on Marshmallow.
Using the copy-twice method on Samsungs also doesn't work in some apps, but we're rolling out a fix for that. (And you can use the pop-up CopyCopy button, which is easier to use anyway.)
What we're asking of you
Please give us your honest feedback. We really want to hear details of how or why it'd useful to you.
i think it is great. I face the same problem.
I'm doing this for now: scroll on Facebook while chilling at home, "save link" of some cool post on mobile, -> Open the PC at the Office, find said post on saved links and share it via the page im managing.

Thanks for that that. We're interested in hearing what tools people are currently using to save stuff on their mobile, or transfer between devices and if CopyCopy sounds easier. (We think it is!)
[NON-ROOT][SUPPORT TO 4.0+][FREE CODE][NORTH AMERICA] PhoMen - "Pho" family security
Hey guys, let's try something different.
There is always a huge problem. When you or your families face great danger, especially violence or sexual assault, what will you do to get help? Call 911? Wouldn't have enough time. Shout loudly for help? Might anger the assailant. Escape? It would be worse if you failed.
In order to resolve this problem, we have developed PhoMen, a more efficient and effective SOS tool than 911.
If you already have PhoMen installed, situation would be much better. You can notify your families of your position and situation immediately once you are able to touch your phone, even if it is in your pocket or bag and no need to take it out.
Key features
- Tapping the power button in a quick succession for more than 4 seconds can trigger the emergency mode. Which is not easy to accidentally trigger at the normal time.
- Once you trigger the emergency mode, the app will turn on the WLAN, the mobile data, even the GPS (some device support) of your phone to speed up locating in case they were shut down by some reasons.
- Once your phone is located, your PhoMen will receive a text with url of your location in google maps – and not only that, also with pictures of camera view and sound recordings from your phone (currently in Beta version, coming soon).
There are two editions of PhoMen app. The Standard Edition is not free, but we will offer you guys up to 100 promo codes to download free from Google Play if you are intersting.
The Standard Edition users can choose their family members to be their PhoMen (Emergency Contacts) in the app. And all the PhoMen are be free to use the Family Edition, which function is the same as the Standard Edition.
And yes, the Family Edition users can also choose their family members to be their PhoMen. This is for families. Enjoy.
Promo codes (20 codes come first, also you can reply down here or send private message to us to get the code.)

No discouragement intended, but most of the stuff you've written down is possible with Google Assistant; With the exception of adding numbers into the contacts (which is redundant anyway or not entirely useful at all).
So yeah, you're app in fact does try to resemble a voice-triggered assistant. Thing is, you can just call GA and ask it for the same stuff and it'll pop the results instead of first opening your app and then clicking on the specific tile to launch f.e. Google Search.
Again, no discouragement intended, but the app just doesn't seem to have actual productivity value in it.
People can always use the dedicated app for the required service and those usually have Voice Search.
Nice! Working!
Thread cleaned.
