[Q] [Idea] babyphone app for 2 (android) devices

Hi all,
I hope this is the right section... tried developers section, but i am not allowed to post because of limitted amount of posts (dont want to post if its spam )
So, i did a search on google, a search in the market and a search on this forum and could not find what i was looking for.
I am a complete noob with developing apps and dont have the aspiration to do it in the future....
Here is my idea... hope somebody could react if it is possible at all or maybe that it is a completely stupid idea
My wife and i both have a htc desire and i was searching for a babyphone through wifi.... like i said... could not find it.
What i want:
- Place one device in the room from the baby when it is connected to the internet (wifi or 3g)
- The other device i would like to to take to friends ~600 meters away.
- With the phone i have with me i would like to connect to the other phone (through internet wifi or 3g) and hear what is going on at the room from the baby. (Maybe through a webpage or something like that???)
Hope it is clear to you guys what i ment.
I think it should be possible... something like skype or so?? Together with some options from the standard baby monitors in the market i think this could be a completely new app. Of course it could be extended in the future if you could use sound and the cam from the android device and have live video from the babys room....

104 views and no reaction... Is it a stupid idea or something impossible?

Actually, a Babyphone App is a very good idea

Some of the applications that allow for you to use your phone as a webcam also allow for audio capture, so they could be used similarly to what you want.

but can these apps you mentioned sent the captured video/audio to the android phone from my wife??

Noise Alert
While this is not for a constant audio connection, I used this for a baby monitor when in a bind.
You have to tweak the detection settings to suit your sleeper (snorers/rollers), but once you get it set right, if the wake up and cry the App will call your other phone and you can listen to the room at that time.
Not sure if you can set it to restart the app for false alarms, but logically this is probably in there.

Still this is not the best option for me... I want to have sound all the time... If you have kids you will understand.
Other thing is that I want to do it via internet...cheaper

Yeah i have kids. I bought a wireless video baby monitor with two way comminication and support for up to 4 cameras because i couldnt find an android solution.
Someone should definitely develop this idea.

Hi Master_B82,
I had the same idea, so that I think that it is not too bad ;-)
Actually, I was working hard over the last months in developing such an App, as I need it for myself, too.
The good news: I finished a first, fully functioning version. It is available on android market as "BabyPhone Mobile":

I hope, you like it
If you have any ideas on improving the App... Just tell me!

[APP] Prox: Control of The Force :) A new way to command your phone...

Hello all! I had a thread but it was locked because it was a paid app. Now, there is a free one to check out. It's called Prox Lite and it has just been added to the Android market.
Prox makes use of the phone's proximity sensor and accelerometer to initiate an action. Prox figures out what orientation you are holding the phone and then activates that action when you swipe your hand across the proximity sensor. Prox Lite has 4 actions:
*Flat - Emulate home button
*Toward - Expand and contract notification panel
*Left - Launch phone dialer
*Right - Launch browser (google.com)
All you have to do is turn on the service through the app and then tilt the phone in the direction you are trying to activate the action for and then pass your hand over the proximity sensor and it will activate the action for that direction.
You can amaze your friends, and feel like a Jedi. Imagine the look on your friend's faces when you do things without even touching the phone itself. Just to ease your mind, Prox is disabled when the screen is off and when you are in a call. Normal proximity sensor usage is preserved during these situations to you don't have to worry about Prox doing things when you don't want it to
Here are some thoughts about the app

Here is a video of it in action (Pro version) if the description I have provided doesn't really make any sense Be sure to follow me on Twitter: @SemperGumbee for updates and support.
Here is another video made by one of our own members here at XDA. Thanks patrick848!
He also wrote a little write up here if you want to check it out.
And, here is a link to the android market
Download Prox Lite from Android Market
Download Prox Lite from GetJar
If you have an issue where it doesn't show up in the market or it says that your device is incompatible, I have made Prox Lite available to XDA peeps via direct apk. If your device will allow install from the market, please use the link above, otherwise, click here to download the apk directly. Downloading from the market allows for easier tracking so I would appreciate it if you would download it from there This is for the members that cannot find the version because of certain software...
P.S. Some users are having trouble with making this work properly. If you are having issues with the left and right actions, try just a slight tilt and then a swipe. Refer to the video for an example of this. Also, different phones have different proximity sensors and some of them just happen to work better than others. Give it a try to see what you think and don't forget to leave a rating in the market. I hope you enjoy this app

Reserved for Wants, Updates, and Changes to the OP...
UPDATES
* Direct apk download added to OP (7-29-2011)
* App added to GetJar (8-2-2011)
* Added ability to disable constant notification
* Added other apps page...
WANTS
*More intuitive orientations
Let me know what else to add here

This is really cool. My biggest concern right now, having only just tried it for a few minutes, is potential battery drain. If it doesn't end up being too bad, i may consider trying the full version. It would be nice to be able to hide the notification bar icon, but the full version may already have that.

Battery drain is really not all that bad. The listeners are unregistered when the screen goes off. During normal phone use during the beta a few months ago, Prox was only using around 3 - 4 % battery during a normal day. But alas, this depends entirely on how much you actually use the phone itself. If your screen is on for the better part of the day, then drain will occur. But under normal use, it really isn't that bad. Thanks for the feedback

Yeah. I was originally going to put it into the Productivity category on the market, but I think it's more of a novelty than an actual productive applications. It's just cool to show people. There are some things in the paid version that can be put to actual use though. There is a Timer mode that activates an action based on how long you cover the sensor. It could be useful in a car dock or a cradle at home.

What version of Android are you running?

Forgot to quote. What version of Android are you running?

I picked up the pro version. So far it's pretty solid. Battery drain is pretty much non-existent, maybe 2% with a lot of screen time.
Some things I would like to see:
Tasker integration (this would be the best addition by far).
A combination of the Timed and normal types so you could hold over the sensor longer for a different option.
Being able to hide the icon in notifications.
Media button options like Previous Track, Play/Pause, Next Track.
Simulating a long-press of the search button to bring up Voice Actions.
Profiles that automatically change based on what app you're in.
Thanks for making this, I've been using it a lot today, and it has already become habit. Keeps my screen cleaner, too.

Im glad that you're liking it! A lot of the things you have mentioned have already been pointed out to me and I am thinking which ones will actually be possible. Some of the things will require root access. But I have a summer job atm (10 1/2 hour days) so I am not really tinkering with it right now. When I get back into school mode, you can pretty much expect to see some if not all of this added to the pro version. I appreciate the feedback and be on the lookout to some awesome future updates
P.S. please leave a comment and rating in the market

Do you have it on any other markets? AndroidPIT, SlideME or anything similar where I can buy it with a paypal account?
For some reason the Android Market site says it's only compatible with my Wildfire and not my Desire HD :S

It is not currently on any other market but the Android Market. I may add it to some of the ones you have mentioned but it may be a bit before it gets there.
My portal says that it should show up as compatible for the Desire HD. I see that you are running MIUI so that may be the reason for it not showing up. Some custom ROMs and leaked builds of Android cause this and I have no reason why.

I love the camera holding thing.

[Q] Caller ID/SMS Announce & Auto Answer

So since switching to my lovely N5, I've missed a few things I found baked into older versions of Android on my old Razr I.. I know that if I fiddle with the Accessibility/TalkBack settings in Kit Kat, I'll get some of the features I need, but I was hoping not to have to go with the full talkback functionality if possible, so I was wondering if any of the good folks here had recommendations of good/stable apps to do the following?
An app that uses TTS to do caller ID and SMS announcements - e.g. for when I'm driving..
A reliable and configurable app for auto answering calls..
Ideally the ability for these apps to activate or shut down when paired/not paired to a specific bluetooth device (e.g. like Car Home Ultra) would be awesome.. I could get tasker involved at a pinch, but native support for this would be easier
I appreciate that if I look at the play store, there are a LOT of free and paid apps that cover the basic requirements - but XDA has always been my go-to source for reliable recommendations, and if I'm honest the reviews for most of the ones I can find are all over the place

Thanks for the heads up

Unfortunately, Utter was a little too unpredictable for me - when used in conjunction with my bluetooth car unit anyway...
I'm trying Free Car Mode
..which seems to be a single app that does both auto answer and SMS announce - in fact it may be the only app on the play store that does both.. (irritatingly it has an annoying quirk of always going back to it's main screen whenever an SMS is read out, kinda defeating the "hands free" requirement if I'm already in a navigation app.. but hey ho, its free so I can't complain too much - I've mentioned it in my Google Play review, so you never know.. the developer may implement it

Ah, bummer. There's also AVX.

Yeah, I saw that.. no worries, a "personal assistant" app may have been overkill anyway. Free Car Mode seems to be doing the job - it's a pain to manually launch before each drive, but I've added it as a button to Car Home Ultra and just have to manually enable/disable before each drive

Power Off - Turn Off Anything In The Room

Hi guys!
We released our first app for the Gear 2, Power OFF, which is basically TV-B-Gone on steroids. Best of all, it's 100% free, no ads, no internet/phone connection required, no weird permissions or facebook logins.
** POWER OFF ** is the ultimate tool for your Samsung Gear 2 to take final control of any IR-controlled appliance. It performs one function - the last action you'll ever need: turning off anything.
POWER OFF works with 99% of the most popular devices on the market:
- TVs
- Set Top Boxes
- Air Conditioners and Heaters
- Audio/Video Systems, DVD Players, BluRay players
- Gaming systems and Media Managers
- Projectors
- ... and many others
Were you ever at a bar where the TV was too loud? Or maybe in bed, with the remote nowhere in sight? All you need is the **free** POWER OFF app for your Samsung smart watch, and you can turn them off.
How about showing off your watch to your friends? Simply turn off all their home equipment at once with the mighty power of your watch!
If you've ever heard of [TV-B-Gone], think of POWER OFF for your Gear 2 as a version of that, **on steroids**. This **isn't limited to just TVs**, but works with any other device too!
[TV-B-Gone]:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV-B-Gone
Feel free to let me know of any issues, feature requests, etc!

Nice toy! Thanks.
For home use, I would like to learn the app the required codes, because for daily use it takes too much time to turn off my devices.

If only it were that easy. The Gear 2 doesn't have the hardware required to learn commands.

Thanks for this app! I like using it. It finds my tv quickly to turn off. And also turns my tv on. Another great app to add to my Gear 2.
A nice feature to add is car radios.

I don't mean learning by a receiving ir sensor, but by indicating in your app which ir code works for my device. Each ir code send action has a number. Or after a successful turn off, directly confirm this in the app, and next time start with the confirmed codes.

Ah, I see! How about, if you manually STOP the codes sending at position 100, next time it would start from code 90 ? (N - 10)

HI I really hope you go forward with doing a full-featured remote replacement for Watch-On. Samsung's Gear version of WatchOn really is useless for me since I need something that will support my Onkyo home theater receiver for the volume in my home entertainment system.
In fact I use your Android app on my Note 3 instead of their phone version as well (I was the guy who sent you an email inquiring about possibly porting your android app to the Tizen Gears and someone responded that you actually were the same devs who created this Power Off app).
The IR blaster is one of the reasons I may stick with the Gear even once Android Wear starts showing up - but if I can't control my home theater system, there's no reason for me to stick with it.

Where can you get it?

Thanks for replying! Your suggestion would be great for one device, but with more than one device it won't work. So the app would need an extension to record multiple code numbers.

I don't want any public link to the .wgt, but anyone who wants it feel free to send me a private message and I'll share it happily there.

Smart IR Remote is finally here!

We've been at it for a while now, but it's finally done.
Smart IR Remote was accepted from the first try into Samsung Apps, and no you can download it from here:
http://apps.samsung.com/mars/topApps/topAppsDetail.as?productId=000000880593
It has ALL the remotes included in the phone app, with all the buttons, so you're no longer limited by the WatchON app to control your devices.
When it comes to features, obviously this is a phone so the edit mode will be simply a method to delete useless buttons, and that's why we put the "Lite" stamp on it. We're working on a way to fully edit the app though!
Best of all: this app is free for a limited time, until we make it a "full" app. We might keep it free forever for people who bought the app for their phones though!
Feel free to report any issues, bugs or suggestions!

Very slick.
Works well with my Sky box.
Sadly doesn't support my Sony TV - KDL - 40L4000 so need to find something else fully compatible - which isn't easy.
Definitely appears better than the sammy remote
Don't let that take away from your efforts though. This was 100% needed, works exactly as advertised and even allows you to customise the display.
With a bit of work I'll have this setup even better than my harmony.
Some feedback may be to allow you to add buttons for different devices to the same screen, hich would help us users with AV systems and different bits doing different jobs. Either that or support for activities that support mutliple devices. i.e. Activity - TV: Amp used for volume, Sky box for channels, tv for picture settings etc.

Nice!
been waiting for this since i got my Gear 2!
and this shuld win Samsung Gear App challenge!

As for combining remotes .. we're getting there Just you wait and see
@RiverCity.45 I know, a real pain. We're trying to figure out what exactly causes it and to see if there's anything we can do on our end to fix it.

Oh man, I've loved the Smart IR app ever since I discovered it. Can't wait to get this rolling on my Gear 2!
I am running into a weird issue though - for some reason, the app installed fine - I of course don't have a remote set up in the Gear 2 app, so it asks me to choose a remote. Press continue, list of device categories. I choose a category, and it loads forever. No error message or anything. I tried restarting both devices, but no luck. I'm wondering if it might be because of the ROM I'm using (Dynamic Kat 4.1). I do occasionally see "The app can't reach our servers, please try again later", but after a minute or two it just starts loading forever again.
About how long should it take to show a list of devices? Any other ideas of what else to try?

Great work! This was the app I was waiting for, finally I can manage all my sound&tv devices. Thanks a lot.
Combining buttons from multiple devices would be great. Glad you are working on it. And maybe one up swipe for the power toggle of all devices at once?

Could be the ROM, but it's unlikely, especially since the list of categories actually does show up for you. It shouldn't normally take more than a few seconds to load. Does this happen on all categories? Can you try reinstalling ?

Awesome app, now if only to have an option to rearrange buttons & figure out how to uninstall stock watchon remote
Sent from my N900T UVUDNF1 4.2.2

Awesome!!! This is my favorite app on my phone! Great job guys!!!

app is nice. However, my first intention was to find and test devices that I copuldn't control with WatchOn.
For example, I have an Arcelik air conditioner , model 15040. On the app, I could find Arcelik 15030. It didn't power on my 15040. Are they really different ?
Can you add it ?
Also, I saw that Philips LivingColors is available in "home equipment " category. AFAIK, LivingColors does not use IR to control. Instead it uses Zigbee (Smartlink) wifreless protocol. And I tried it with my LivingColors and didn't work.
How can we make this work with LivingColors ?
Thanks.

Not showing up for me in the app store. Gear2 Neo/S5 Active

I would like to be able to edit the layout of a control on the phone. It a bit clunky to do this on the watch.

Hey guys! For all remotes/database - related questions please email us at [email protected]. It's hard to keep track of things here

As for the app not showing for some of you, that's something we're trying to find out from Samsung how to fix. Here's the list we support (basically checked ALL when uploaded to Samsung Apps): http://pastebin.com/rcu7WHZg

That was my impression as well - it's working somewhat, just not letting me see the devices within the categories. So far, I've tried a few categories (TV, Audio Video System, Game/Media Manager) to no avail, but I'll try it again here. I did just try a reinstall, might try to uninstall, restart everything then reinstall again. It's really weird, because after selecting a category, it just sits there on the gear, spinning rather fast. I'll also check with the ROM dev as well just to make sure it isn't something on that front.

Excellent! Thank you

I have an issue in with support, but just wanted to chime in here. I am also having an issue setting up remotes. I can install the app, pick a category and then a device. I can get so far as doing the first power button test, but when I try to tap "it works" it just shows me the gear animation as if it's doing something but doesn't progress past that. It happens with ANY remote I tried to add.
What I've done to troubleshoot - rebooted both devices, uninstalled, reinstalled, same result. On a rooted Galaxy Note 3 with Hyperdrive ROM build 8 (4.4.2), Gear 2 Neo is stock, unrooted.
Ultimately, what I want out of this is something that can control my receiver power, input switching and volume, as well as my projector on/off on one remote panel - so I'd love a remote that can combine functions from different devices. I'd be fine with paying for an app with that functionality.

Well now I feel dumb...
I wanted to give a status update. So I was still running into one heck of a brick wall getting the app to work properly on my Gear 2. I admit, it was rooted, but I didn't realize the firmware I was on (*NDB) was outdated. I just tried to connect to Kies to see if I could bring it back to stock firmware, and I find out I had an update to a new firmware (*NE5). Performed the update, and boom - app loads like it should, I can select a category, and I now see a list of devices! I figured it would be worth mentioning if any others are seeing this issue. Now that it works properly, I'll test it out on a few devices. If you don't hear from me soon, consider that good news!
