New App - Live Profile - Multi Platform Messenger

I found this app last week and have been very impressed with it, it's currently in beta stage now on Android, and will support Android, Blackberry, & iPhone.
It works with a pin, has unlimited messaging, no restriction on character limits etc. You can use this as a stand alone app or as your sms text app as well.
It shows current status, message delivered indicator, message read indicator and more.
A very nice start to what looks to be a very promising app for all smart phones.

Give it a try, you will love it.
(disclaimer- I have nothing to do with this app, just sharing a good find)

Thanks for sharing!

Damn. Hoped you meant a multi-network app. Like MSN/Aim/Yahoo and so on. Not another BBM remake. We already got PingChat and WhatsApp.

I wasn't aware of ping chat... it looks to be nice as well.... this is just what I found and it works so fast and simple, I thought I would share it.
One main difference I see is the other apps only work for those that have the app installed... as this will also work as your sms/text messenger.
I haven't tested the others yet.. but I will now to see how they compare.

Using PingChat but will give this a try, thanks!
But I don't think I'll use it regulary since everyone knows im using PingChat

this to BBM?
how do i add a friend that uses a blackberry? can they use their BBM program or do they have to get this program? where do i find their pin?

are the sms free as well?

Just use WhatsApp..
It already does everything this can do, its out and it integrates with your phone contacts

Live Profile will be nice when it releases the iPhone and Blackberry apps.
I've been using Kik Messenger (http://kik.com/) and have been really liking it.

Hey, does this work with FaceBook chat??

gave it a try but in 30min it drained my battery form 100% to 85%. i hadn't received or sent any messages and it was simply in my pocket. i didnt even have any friends added yet.
i wanna be able to use it when the BB version comes out but the battery drain is enourmous

I've been using "eBuddy", as a muti-network IM client. It works on: MSN, Yahoo, AIM, Google Talk, MySpace, ICQ, Hyves, and Facebook! It works well, and doesn't seem to eat too much battery.
Cheers.

I use aim for facebook chat, does this do facebook chat?
I dont really know anyone who still uses instant messengers other than well sms/text messaging.

just another pingchat & whatsapp application????
will give it a spin when the other os r ready

So this thing uses polling and not push? No, thanks...
ok well after some playing this app certainly polls. My phone, which typically gets me 2 days of light to moderate usage, went from 100% charge down to 7% in 6 hours. Additionally taking a look at the comments in the market you can see others are noticing it as well. The problem is a phone must function as a phone first, all other stuff is secondary. If the phone cannot maintain a charge, it's a $500 paperweight.
You have an awesome app so I'd like to make some suggestions and let me preface by saying i make them with all due respect.
- You really need to push not poll. This saves a ton on battery as the server is doing the heavy lifting and also means no need for a wakelock
- With the suggestion above it means you may need to adjust your business model. Servers come at a cost, you have the initial purchase, maintenance, plus monthly charges of running them (power, broadband). the way BlackBerry gets away with this is by indirectly charging the customer straight through the carrier. When you purchase a BB you get a nice little BB tax of $20 or $30 thrown onto your bill which covers monthly use of the push servers for such things as email and BB messenger. You cant do this, nobody would pay an extra monthly fee so you will need to think outside of the box.
a) look into using admob and putting adds into the settings menus and other non-intrusive places. This should hopefully cover some of the costs.
b) Charge for the app upfront (this is in addition to the ad's). Charge a buck or two at the time of purchase.
c) Make it more than just Liveprofile messages and text. Add in some other services to make this a must have app such as facebook chat or gtalk which would also be pushed through the server. People would buy an app with facebook chat that does push for that purpose alone! I suggested gtalk as well because of its deep integration to google, with android getting as large as it is, gtalk is becoming more and more popular. The current gtalk app that comes with android is push, works beautifully, and barely uses battery.
d) Maybe think of a way to create a group license package that you could market to large companies which could help bring in lump sums of cash plus the additional exposure to the ad's (point a).
here is a link to an article which you may find of value.
Again great work. I hope to see this with push servers in the near future because i can easily see this becoming everyones "must have" application.

you are completely right, lots of apps allow you to connect to facebook and read chat messages. The best thing about this app is that its an official application from facebook, so theres more likely to be less bugs as they know their own system and API's better than anyone else, also any new features for messaging and chat are more than likely gonna show up in their official app before they do on any third party one.

seriously if people spent half the time being ignorant to actually know what they 're talking about, 50% of human stupidity would magically vanish.

its abit like the fact that facebook itself wasnt available out of the university it was created in until they had it running right, ther for they are obviously testing it in america before making it a worldwide app... seems like a gd app could do with a few tweeks tho... thanks for the share most interestin...

I don't see how this is official... The logo is Messenger. That's totally not Facebook.
Also, I've tested with MarketEnabler for various countries and with none of them have I found Facebook Messenger, letalone an official-looking one.
Prove to me that it's official and I might give it my details.
Also, asking for an email address and password instead of using Facebook Connect?
I smell a rat.

Seems legit, downloaded from market. I am a us resudent and everthing about it is legit, uses facebook logon and thats it.

Is Facebook the publisher on the Market? oO

Yes facebook is the publisher

Alright, this should settle any doubts.
I was skeptical that it was worthy of dl'ing if I already have the normal Facebook app...but I dig it. It's nice to Log Out of the Facebook Official and just use the messenger.

Hey 96edwy, nice find dude.... does this work well phone to phone/phone to comp? i tried go! chat for facebook the other day, but seemed to get no reply from anyone lol, go! shows whos online and stuff though but meh :/

he sent a link to the official facebook page and people still thought it was fake.
*rolls eyes*
some people need to get a grip ha ha

I think whatsapp still beats it...
It does sounds more like huddle from google+.

why separate?
why did fb release this as a separate app? shouldn't this just replace the messaging part of the regular fb app?
m.

For those people who cant seem to find it with market enabler,
1. try market access.
2. the new market(the one with the black background) does not show the apps which are not available for your country, even though it show the currency symbol according to the country selected in enabler(or access).
Work around is here
nygmam said:
I use a simple method, which works very well, and so far has not had a down side:
1) Using Titanium Backup (Or another app that lets you do this) either Freeze (Paid app) or Backup, then delete Market Update (Free App)
2) Go to Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, and scroll down to market, and select
3) Uninstall updates from Market
This is very easy to do, and you may be able to use other freeze or backup apps to achieve the same result. Also note, no reboot required.

After getting old market back, use market enabler(access), select any US carrier and search for facebook messenger.
P.S. one simple way to see if your new market is showing the blocked apps is to search for some popular app which is blocked in your country like pandora. It will show up in search suggestions but not in search result...
P.S.2 I hope this is clear.

Someone know if this put some information in other folders?
EDIT: Here is the problem http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5j8rUklR-U

I can understand Samsung's motivation to block this. Even though it seems like a somewhat trivial app to this audience, in the marketplace it would be positioned as a differentiator, and you can be confident that at least part of the idea is to blunt the impact of Siri on Samsung sales (and there's no need to debate differences between Siri, S Voice, the eventual advent of Majel, etc - just commenting on today's motivation for Samsung to keep this restricted to S3).
Another possibility: Vlingo has been evolving their product, and if you go to the Play Store you'll find the Vlingo labs version - which is essentially the same as S Voice with a smaller "vocabulary" of functions you can invoke. It really appears that they're gearing up this new version of Vlingo for ALL phones, but my guess is that they have an agreement in place with Samsung to hold off for a while so the S3 can enjoy having this functionality exclusively at first. Also possible that Samsung and Vlingo have a licensing agreement that restricts the phones that the app runs on for some period of time.
I can easily imagine business execs at Samsung and at Vlingo getting more than a bit stressed over this...

No problem with the app. I'm running the modded version (posted on one of these S Voice threads) that doesn't require modding build.prop -- works perfectly. I send text messages, emails, check the weather and just posted to FB. Re: FB - I do NOT have the app installed right now (older version ate battery - no idea about 1.9 yet - may try later). Anyway -- I tried it this way: I told S Voice: "update Facebook". It then show the FB login dialog and noted that I had to be logged in so that it could update FB. I filled in username / pswd, and it's been working fine ever since then. Just needed login credentials.
Try just saying "update Facebook" the first time, it should prompt for credentials, and then remember them for future use.
EDIT: also just logged into Twitter the same way -- said, "Tweet" and it prompted me for twitter credentials. Now that it's got them, I'm good to go. Almost too easy!

[APP][4.0+] A Minimalist Social Network

The Voice of the World is the world's first truly global, truly minimalist social network. This simple app allows anyone in the world to send a message to everyone else in the world that lasts until someone else does the same. There's only one message at a time that's displayed for everyone and there are no personal details or registration involved, only anonymity and total rule-less anarchy.
It's interesting to see - when the entire world has the opportunity to write anything, anonymously and uncensored, for an untold number of viewers, what will it say? I have received nothing but positive praise for the app.

dude you gotta advertise this **** on like tv or porn sites or something. "twitter without the bull****."
you could also introduce ability to let people vote up or down on messages and have a section for top messages for last 24 hours.

Uninstalled after getting a random, incredibly loud video ad. I dont mind the banner ads at the bottom, but when they're video ads (that take up your whole screen) with loud audio that scare the **** out of you every time because they pop up out of nowhere unexpectedly... nope, not having it. was cool for the 30 seconds I had it installed.

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm going to modify if so that it gives a warning as part of a larger update to the app that should be out some time within a week if you want to try it again. Unfortunately I do need to pay for the servers the app runs on and I would remove all of the ads if I could.

I agree with the concerns about ads, is it really necessary to show video advertisements to run the server?
Are these ads also shown if I'm on mobile data?

Yeah, they appear even if you're on mobile data.

Due to user demand, I've disabled video ads for the time being. I may reintegrate them at a later time to support future development, but only after I've added a warning for them. I'm sorry for everyone that got scared by seemingly random video ads.

[APP][6.0+] Looxie: Location-based photo requests

Get Looxie from the Play Store!
Looxie is a location-based photo request app that I released back in 2016. The premise is simple: you go on the map, select a location you want a photo from and send your request to that location. Any users within one kilometer will receive the request and they can respond by sending you a photo.
The big twist? They can only send photos by actually taking them with their camera: gallery uploads are not allowed. Practically, this means that any photo you receive was taken seconds earlier and essentially is a real-time depiction of that location. The practical applications are numerous (Is the sea choppy? Is the bar I want to go to packed? Is there a lot of traffic on the A2? What's up in the Mongolian steppe right now?) but it's also really exciting to simply know that the photo you got depicts something at the other side of the world as it is right now.
Late last year, I decided that the app looked positively archaic, so I went ahead and rebuilt/redesigned it from the ground up to make it prettier and faster. I think the redesign is very successful and the app is indeed much faster and much easier to use.
Here is what it looks like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I will probably be adding some premium features as a very cheap subscription (full-res photo downloads, for example) in the hopes that they'll at least cover the Firebase costs but anybody who registers an account by August 9th, 2019 will get all premium features for free.
I will be happy to answer your questions and read your comments!

Bumping the thread with actual links. I'll be around to answer any questions and respond to comments.

Really liking this app. Now I am getting requests one after the other from the same user. It would be nice if there was a cool-down time, I'd say, once every 2hrs between requests times from the same user

Amazing idea but..
1. When I use the search function, I can't actually click on a photo to be able to view it and zoom in. All it does when I click that it switches to the next photo and the same happens with Sent Looxies.
2. No full screen viewing available!
3. Settings is grayed out and I can't access it?
4. I can't view the likes of a certain image!
5. I am getting a ton of requests of user NewbieTown, is it a bot?

When i click the camera button to take a picture it opens the stock camera(xiaomi) but I don't really like the pictures from it so I use a google camera port , do you think it's possible to choose from the camera app?

Hey! You should be able to use any camera app you want. I'm almost never using the stock Pixel camera, instead I use something some effects, like Vignette or Cameringo.

Hey, thanks! Totally my fault for not communicating this more clearly in the app but each of these requests are actually from a different user. Whenever a new user signs up, they have the option of sending a first contact request, ie. send a request to every user in the world (just once).
So what happened is that with the sudden influx of users (due to the XDA feature) LOTS of people got to use their first contact requests and everybody was flooded with those things. I should absolutely find a way to combat that but I don't want to take the first contact functionality away from new users. The problem will eventually solve itself, of course, when things go back to normal, with 3-5 registrations per day.

1. When I use the search function, I can't actually click on a photo to be able to view it and zoom in. All it does when I click that it switches to the next photo and the same happens with Sent Looxies.
2. No full screen viewing available!
3. Settings is grayed out and I can't access it?
4. I can't view the likes of a certain image!
5. I am getting a ton of requests of user NewbieTown, is it a bot?

Hello there.
You are right on every count, the app is pretty frustrating right now. This is partly down to the fact that it's a ground-up rewrite, so some functionality that was there in the old app is still missing but also due to the fact that I'm a lone developer working on it after 10-hour marathons in my day job, right after I manage to put my 2-year old son to sleep. I still love it, though. Let me answer your questions one by one.
1. All of the functionality you're describing is coming within the month. I'm taking a much-needed two-week off from work so I'll be able to focus on Looxie almost exclusively.
2. Also coming soon!
3. I know I sound like a broken record, but also coming soon. I have quite of bit of stuff to put in there, it won't take too long.
4. At this point you know the answer.
5. Nope, totally not a bot. It's new users signing up and using their first contact request (which they can use only once). Thingss should go back to normal, with about 5 first contact requests per day. Just give it a bit of time.
Thanks for your comment, I wanted to clear some of this stuff up anyway!

Thanks for the quick reply, I've edited the Google Play rating of the app to 5 stars.
However, you should've mentioned that the app has features that are still being optimized.

Possible to run on microg?
Love the app, just switched to a phone with lineageos 16 and microg. When I enter my username and password, it just hangs logging in. I then tried backing up the app on my old phone with adb backup then restored it to my new phone. The first time I started looxie, I was logged in and could see the feed. Now everytime I start the app, I get an empty feed that never updates. Also, my username is not displayed in the menu. Any ideas on how to get it working with microg?

Hey Jeff! I've never tested the app on a device with microg, unfortunately. Unless the microg package includes an implementation of FirebaseAuth, I cannot see it working. I'll need to check and see though, so stay tuned. If you're the Jeff from the app, it's nice to see you here, thanks for all the awesome photos :good:

Thanks, It looks like microg doesn't support FirebaseAuth currently, there are a few issues in github for it. I'll try agian when they have it supported.
