[Q] Phone Minutes and SMS Usage Tracker App - General Questions and Answers

Hi there.
I would like to know if an app like the below description exist on Google Play.
Track usage of phone minutes.
Differentiate from inside network and outside network. Maybe the app could use a NXX NPA Database or even better if the app allow me to add my country NXX numbers.
Track SMS usage
Let me set my minutes CAP
Bonus
Track interaction with special numbers, like those phone/code numbers used for promotions and stuff.
If the app doesn't exist maybe is a good Idea that someone develops one, I could happily pay for an app like this.
Thank you

try GPS tracking

Fameelee - Family Locator will perfectly meet your needs. This app actually developed for families to help them to stay in touch 24/7 negleting the distance.
Within this app you will be able to track/being tracked real time location as well as location history for the last 30 days, stay in touch with your loved onces with in-app chat, get gps notifications once your wife gets some specific places, send panic alarms with your current gps location and video of your surrounding etc.
In paid version you can even track sms and call logs of your family members, get notifications if someone of them speeded and so on.
So give it a try and I believe you'll be impressed with app's feauters.
P.S. Mostly gps tracking apps drain phone battery quickly but not this one (tested and it takes only 3-4% of your battery life)

[Q] App monitoring?

I was hoping that someone knows of an app that can alert me when my son installs or deletes an app. There are certain apps that I don't want him having access to, and it seems the trend I'm hearing from other parents is that the kids will install the apps when they are away from home and delete them before they get back. I think I found a couple spy apps that will monitor installed and deleted apps, but they also track the text messages and gps location etc... but I'd rather not pay a monthly fee. I don't want to spy on him necessarily, I just want to make sure he's not installing apps that he's not supposed to. If someone could point me in the right direction, that would be great!
Thanks!

Nah, I just pay the $5 a month for family base. Just tells me who my son is talking to, what apps he installs, and allows me to put time/data type restrictions when I feel it's appropriate. Doesn't show the actual texts or do location tracking. But I finally went with that because of the serious lack of parental controls. If my son wasn't stock I'd probably have tried out other apps.

[Q] App data storage

Hi all,
I want to build an application for smartphones that will require a server to store all user's data. I know that companies like Facebook make use of giant server rooms but how does a normal average Joe save data of about 100 terabytes? I still need to develop the app and then only launch it with no source of income generated by the app for a long time, so to build giant server rooms cost a lot in the first place and then to maintain them with electricity and cooling also cost a lot, so how does one go about to launch an app that could potentially become pretty big but don't have the funds to store the data used by the app? I can start off by using let's say 5 terabytes, but then when it gets overloaded I will have to shut it down for above mentioned reasons?
Thanx
use free baas service
go google parse, firebase or quickblox

Best method to analyze appiications doing things they are not supposed to

I wanted to know what is the least time consuming method to analyze applications and check whether they are doing some "extra" data collection not required for their defined activity.
In this day and age, large companies like to collect as much information as they can to "optimize ads" (or future implementation of ads when not in the current version).
For example,
When i install applications that use GPS location for their legitimate activity when they are being used (e.g., gett (get taxi), or any parking fee paying app), i always wonder if when they are not active, they have a background process that sends my location to some collecting server every certain interval (I don't want to open and close the phone gps all the time, i want to leave it on).
Any suggestions ?
if you have root , greenify will stop background processes while app is closed. as far as your real question to analyze what they do ; am not sure.
hopefully someone more knowledgeable can chyme in.:good:

Hi,
If you have root, XPrivacy could be a good tool to see what an app try to do by using Android rights, because you will have to validate or not, for each asked right.
Another tool without root is Noroot Firewall, because it would indicate if an app try to send data on the Net and where.
If you have root, Network Log would display where an app send data, and from where it receives data. Idem for Android kernel.
So with that, I think that you could begin to have an idea of what your app is doing.
If others could share their knowledge and experience.

Indeed. I've used all of these tools. XPrivacy especially, and it's convenient pop-up of asking you permission and revealing the destinations IP if it has to do with the internet.

Which App is good for Family Monitoring.

Hi Friends,
I am looking for an app which can be useful to monitor our family. Like messages, whatsapp chats/calls, call records, their every activity. and it should work properly in India. No restriction.

Nothing I've seen will do all that. I've used boomerang with the kids, even bought Disney Circle (junk), tried a few other apps.... And the only decent app to keep the kids supervised I found was "screen time." It doesn't monitor messages and stuff, that seems a little invasive and crossing a privacy line, to me anyway. I'd say there's bigger issues to work out if your trust is that low. :good:
