ReadItToMe - Unique Handsfree (FREE VERSION)
Installed this on mine and the wifes phone.Very cool when driving/cycling or if the phone is out of reach. You can set profiles for speaker/earphones or bluetooth. Very surprised at how accurate it is. I'm only using the free version currently which reads out SMS messages. There is a paid version available
Playstore blurb
ReadItToMe Pro reads out your incoming callers, sms messages and other app notifications, translating txt speak into normal language. In ANY language.
It's great for use whilst driving, cycling, running, walking, in the gym or any other time you need to be handsfree.
Translates txt speak
ReadItToMe will translate your sms messages into proper english so you can understand what's being read. You can even add your own words and translations easily through the UI.
With ReadItToMe this:
SMS from John: Btw dat woz amazin, I dunno y I wasn't gonna go lol
Becomes This:
"New message received from John. By the way that was amazing, I don't know why I wasn't going to go laugh out loud”
Any Language
ReadItToMe supports ANY language as long as your TTS engine (and Voice engine) has that language installed.
If the default Android TTS doesn't support your language I'd recommend trying IVONA TTS.
Contact Blacklist
With ReadItToMe you are able to choose which contacts are read and when. You can choose to have specific contacts only read over headphones or bluetoth, or you can mute contacts so you are only notified of a message from that person but the message is not read aloud.

does it require a data connection?

In the permissions, It states "Full Internet Access" as one of the requirments. So I'm sure it needs a constant data connection while you're using it.
I'm more than happy to try this out and see if I can help, but would you mind talking about what translation engine is powering this? Are you aware of it's accuracy? Some of these type of apps suck and will lead people astray.
TIA.
It looks really nice, but isn't this basically the same as Google Translate?
tried it without data connection and it still works.
Uninstalled it after 5 minutes.
I understand that the point of a "Lite" version is that it doesn't come with a complete feature set compared to the version that's for sale. That's fair enough.
However, the way to find out what it will translate and what it won't is not trial and error. The Lite version should indicate clearly what it's prepared to translate, either by graying out the unavailable choices or not displaying them at all. Had I tried to use this in an actual translation situation instead of at home, it could have caused a lot of embarrassment at the very least.
Also, if it had a way to use your voice to input phrases instead of digging through a situational dictionary, it was not apparent how to activate it.
This would be even better if it had Spanish.
works like charm on desire Z
Thanks for the info
this app is good concept but a bit heavy
so keep crashing
also if lite version doesnt support a feature should be grayed instead of exception
Hi all
I just got a message from my friend that he recieved an update yesterday night from Asus for his TF-101G which he bought from taiwan. Apparently the update had a sms system, and he is able to use it to sms to a phone. not whatsapp or viber but through gsm network.
I was wondering if it is able to integrate with our wifi Transformer "rooted" with 3G dongle installed. As previously I tried to activate whatsapp, and the sms got sent over into my dongle, thus activating whatsapp. The current dongle I am using is the huawei e1550, and specs shows that there is GSM radio installed inside.
Was wondering if anyone is interested to follow up?
Thanks.

Not having a G-variant, i am lazy. I just run TexTab on my phone and ASUS, and use that for texting. Very useful as well since that gives me the same number and the thread is for view on the phones SMS app - perfect for having to go away from Tablet.
TexTab basically uses the phone via Bluetooth for texting goodness.
why not just text with google voice through wifi? It's much easier and works out of the box. Plus you can save all your texts and it syncs your conversations with your phone and web browser, which I think makes it much more useful.
Well I currently do not have access to a google voice account at the moment, was considering if sms is viable why not use it?

Give or take limitations once you go past sitting in the USA and texting other people in the USA, you can only send like 150 texts per contact within so many hours, unless it's done via forwarding through a real cellphone. From what I could tell, the Android app has the same limitation as the web interface.
I found this out because the first month my fiancee and I were texting, we exchanged almost 10,000 SMS, and still average like 7,000+ .
[Post updated to point to latest version on Android Market]
Hi XDA community!
Our first app PhoneLeash is on the Android Market (free).

I like to call it the "misplaced phone app" since its meant for the more common occurrence of your phone simply not being near you, rather than being stolen.
PhoneLeash has features for finding your lost phone (or at least confirming where you think you left it) while also letting you know who is calling/texting meanwhile. Its not trigger happy (yet!) about wanting to wipe all the data the minute you see your phone isn't with you
We are trying to get the right balance of features, here is what we have now:
GPS locating
SMS/missed call forwarding to email or phone
Reply to SMS
Low battery alert
Remote ring
Privacy (no website tracking your phone)
Battery life -- after all you won't be using these features much of the time, so why have features that constantly drain your battery.
Unique feature - With PhoneLeash you can (remotely) reply to an SMS, and it goes out from your phone - the other side simply cannot tell the difference. While new and unique, we want to make sure we keep it simple to use. Speaking of simplicity, all of PhoneLeash fits in 1-2 spartan screens.
We've tested with Go SMS, Handcent to make sure PhoneLeash works with their default settings. PhoneLeash can also forward to HeyWire SMS numbers as well.
We found out that some tablets (Galaxy 8.9) do SMS but no telephony, so those are supported now as well.
If you can give it a try, we'll be very thankful. And ask for features - maybe they'll happen!
Thanks!
PVS, GearAndroid

Here is a link and some screencaps of the new features in v 1.5
I am not a Twitter-user (tweeter?) but just used PhoneLeash to send in my first tweet from my phone. Sent this SMS from Google Voice to my PhoneLeash-ed phone-- "40404 here's a random tweet"--and by magic it showed up in my Twitter account!
on i 9000?
Is it available on samsung galaxy i 9000?
Very cool. I will test it out soon.

Hello all,
I just released a free application/service that forwards your SMS messages to e-mail addresses you define, and also sends responses back when you reply to the received e-mails (coming from your own number). Etext uses Google's Cloud 2 Device Messaging (C2DM) to notify your phone without polling every x minutes, hence the Android 2.2 requirement. It's designed so that it can actually replace the default SMS application's notifications, and to be able to reply to incoming messages from any device that's able to receive e-mail, no matter where you are.
The application is brand new on the market, so it would be great if the XDA community could give it a try. Screenshots and a more thorough description can be found on the Android Market (or should I say Google Play). Below is a link, and a QR code that you can scan on your device. If you have any questions or suggestions you can always post here or e-mail me!

Hey!
Did a quick test this and it works well Will do more tests soon.
Was wondering what the real purpose is. I mean ... wouldn't SMS be more reachable than emails given that for email a net connection is necessary, while it is not necessary for SMS?
I'll be using this to have a record of my messages in my mail and occasionally to save a wee bit on my message bills!

It bugged me that I couldn't receive SMS messages or reply to them when I was using my tablet (or any other device for that matter). That's basically why I started working on the application. It worked pretty well for myself, so I decided to implement C2DM and release it on the market. A plus is that I can now search for a name on GMail and get the text messages as well.
If I read correctly, the latest version of Google Now includes siri-style conversational voice commands, so you can ask things like "send a text message" and it will prompt you for both the recipient and contact. But, the version notes state that "New hotword: “Ok Google” (US only)", which I suspect means that this new feature isn't available in Canada. Fine, that happens, we in Canada are used to getting shafted on stuff like that.
BUT.
It seems wrong to keep that from Nexus 5 owners in Canada. Right? Any one have thoughts on getting around this restriction?

You have to set language to English (US) for the hotword to work. That solved my problem on 4.4 on my Nexus 4.
It means your default language bro not your country.
Just set the language to ENGLISH (US) and thats all.
If helped please hit thank button.:good:
I think you misunderstand. "OK Google" works fine. Its the further response that's missing. For example, I can say "send a text message" and I get a form to write a text. It should ask me to specify a contact and message.

Rebooting my phone fixed this.
So it's all good?
The language also needs to be set inside of Google Now's settings. :good:
