Hello. I think that the title isn't clear enough, so let me explain. I live in a country where there's not much security on the streets, and phones are stolen very often. That's a problem if one has an expensive phone (such as a Galaxy Note). So I thought: "What if there's some kind of app that lets you pair two android phones via bluetooth, and one phone sends notifications (such as SMS, calls and Whatsapp Messages) to the other one (being "the other one" an inexpensive old phone, such as a Galaxy Pocket) ? ". I searched in google but couldn't find anything like that (in other words, it would be kinda like using an old android phone as a smartwatch). Can somebody help me?
Thank you very much

Hi all!
I'm virtually 100% an Android convert, putting it on my HD2 a week ago and barely looking back!
One of the few things I do need Windows Mobile for, though, is using a small application called LowCaller (lowcaller.com). This allows me to call contacts via my Voipcheap account but rather than going via the internet connection (WiFi, 3g) it calls a 020 (London) number and then directs me to the person I'm calling.
This means I get perfect quality international calls no matter where I am and I only use my inclusive contract minutes.
I've tried to contact LowCaller via their website but I can't get through to them (the damn verification code is always apparently wrong!) so can't find out if they have an Android version in the pipeline. They appear to support WM, iPhone, Blackberry and Symbian so an Android version would be very logical on their part!
Any alternatives?
Thanks!
I tried SipDroid with my SIP.
Can't hear anything on my end, maybe you have better results?
You can try Nimbuzz or Fring, and then add your VoipIP provider
Hey guys, thanks for the suggestions but these apps/messengers are solely for calling via Voip directly to another party, as opposed to calling a local number which then, via my Voip account, directs to another party (meaning that I can do it from anywhere without the need for an internet connection, and with perfect results - no lag, cut outs, etc.)
LowCaller is fantastic because I've driven around towns and countryside in England while talking via bluetooth to my friend in Canada on her mobile - the quality was practically like that of any normal call!
It works like this,
I select 'Call via LowCaller' from my phonebook > My phone calls an 020 London number owned by LowCaller > The call gets routed to the number of the person I'm calling and I lose my inclusive minutes just like any normal call.
I think rebtel might do what you need
I use jajah (jajah.com) . It works like you described. Sort of. They give you a local nr for all your foreign contacts. So there is no app but you just dial the unique local nr and your friend in timbuktu answers the phone.

LowCaller
Come on guys!!
The guys is asking you about LowCaller in Android, and you recommend jahjah and Rebtel!!!!
JahJah and rebtel make a newnumber for each contact!! This is pain. You dont want to make a new number for each contact!!
We dont want to use 3g or wifi! we want to use a landline number.
So please, if you know anything exactly similar to lowcaller, please answer. Otherwise, DO NOT give bad recommendations!!
Afaik, rebtel does exactly what he asked for. I don't think you need to set up different no.s for different contacts, it just routes all international calls through a local no.

OK, I won't.
Bump!
Still no Android support from LowCaller. Any developments here guys?
Remember I'm after a LowCaller-type setup, i.e. I'm using my contract minutes to call a national number that will connect me to another number via my Voip account.
So stuff that simply makes calls via WiFi/3g isn't what I'm after (but thanks for the suggestions)
Peace

It's been a while but I tried rebtel out and I couldn't see any options for this? Just direct WiFi/3g calling?

Hi keesvl55 - I've installed CcApp but can't work out how to (or if I'm able to) set it up to work with VoipCheap. I seem to be only able to add calling cards, which aren't what I'm using.
Looks like we're getting there anyhow!
I wonder if LowCaller will ever release a Droid version or update any of their current versions? It seems they never updated their WM client to work with 6.5.X, hence why I've always stuck with regular ol' 6.5, so maybe all hope is lost for them to come out with something themselves?
I guess another way would be to save the numbers LowCaller assigns my international contacts with in WM. I'm unsure, however, just how long these stay valid for before another gets assigned.
BUMP!
2,000 views so I can't be the only one after a LowCaller port / clone for Android!
I've noticed LowCaller's contact form on their website is working again now:
http://lowcaller.com/en/contact.php
Go there and request they release an Android version to the marketplace.
If you type "LowCaller" into Google now the first suggestion is "lowcaller android" or "lowcaller for android" - there's obviously a big demand so let's get harassing their developers!
Lord knows I might even click an ad or two should the need arise!

Christ! I think you may be right. I'll be trying it out tomorrow. Great spot !
Just a follow up to any one of the trillions Googling and finding this thread - as suggested above Betamax Dialer (now found on the market) looks like the way to go. The only difference I see between this and LowCaller is that with this you have to specify your Voip retailer's (e.g. voipcheap) local access number, so you only use that one number as opposed to a different landline number for each of your contacts in LowCaller.
I've bought Betamax Dialer Pro to show my support for a developer actually creating a Betamax local-calling client though I'm not sure exactly how the "call-2-call" or whatever it's called feature works. Guess I'll have a play around and see!
Under £1 on the market for Pro if anyone wants to try.
Thanks again 90180360.

The problem I have is that it doesn't integrate in the phone's dialer.
Also, if you want to choose a contact, it has to populate the contact list each and every time.
I still prefer to just save those contacts I want to call by VOIP as ACCESSNUMBER Pause PHONENUMBER in my phone book.
Works perfectly, no additional software needed.

I don't think you have a different landline number for each contact in LowCaller.
Maybe you're thinking of Localphone.com, I think that's how they work.
Yes nice one, will try this when I get home

Hi charliebrown
I have the same problem. Trying to change from my iphone to a good cell phone I'm changing to my new love "HTC ONE S". I'm surfing the web since two days but without finding any solution.
It should be possible somehow cause I found a nice migrate software for the sms. I could copy more than 5'000 SMS within minutes. Pretty amazing. If this could be helpful for you - check out http://faked.org/isms2droid/

Download iPhone WhatsApp to Android Transfer to help. It lets you migrate and merge whatsapp chat history with attachments from iPhone to Android directly on computer. Easy to use. Hope it can help.
WhatsappMigrator not opening/working
I'm not able to open this WhatsappMigrator website.
Update: As suggested by NuttyBunny in a reply below, I even tried to open it in Chrome browser on my Windows laptop but this site isn't opening. I found another program (http://www.easyphonerecovery.com/transfer-whatsapp-chat-history-messages-iphone-to-android.html) that can transfer WhatsApp chat from iPhone to Android. Someone recommended it on Android stackexchange site. This program is working flawlessly. :good: You can use it to migrate chat history from iPhone to Android.

Getting a new phone is always an exciting time. Then the realization sets in that you have to figure out how to get information from your old phone to the new one.
For the most part, a lot of the stuff we rely on is synced through various cloud services such as Google or Apple's iCloud and the transfer process is as simple as signing in on your new device.
But what about the stuff you don't sync, like SMS conversations? Or what if you're switching from iPhone to the new Galaxy S7? Enter Samsung's Smart Switch app.
Smart Switch is built into Samsung's Galaxy devices, and you'll also find a USB adapter included in the box with your phone. Don't lose it! That seemingly useless piece of plastic is the magical part of Smart Switch.
Transfer WhatsApp (with attachments) from iPhone (6S) to Android Y9 (2018)/Honor 8X/8C
Hello Developers! I have spoken to quite a few IT professionals and googled but have not found a solution for this issue. I have even purchased dr.fone Wondershare (Restore Social App) but that too gets stuck at 99%. My WhatsApp data is about 17GB and I would really like to transfer my WhatsApp from iPhone on to a new Android phone. Please help!
Hi guys,
I have been searching for the best app to get all texts/SMS from my phone to my tablet (without bluetooth or 3G), so I can read and answer them there, while my phone is charging for example.
So, I came across a lot of apps like TabletTalk, MySMS, MightyText, TextPlus, TexTab, ... etc. The problem with these apps is, they are not the best thing when it comes to privacy or in other words: They use an online account or a third's party web space for syncronising your messages, pictures, contacts, ..., which is totally not acceptable in my oppinion.
Now, I want to ask you XDA users, if you know of an app, that does the syncronising of the SMS/MMS only locally per Wi-Fi?
Thank you a lot in advance.
Greetings,
sYCO

TabletTalk is secure and only connects via WiFi or Bluetooth (your choice). It sends nothing to any third party webspace, so I think you might be wrong about that one. It is actually very ideal for the scenario you propose, and I would be hesitant to offer any alternatives, as it clearly fits the bill.
What gave you the impression it worked over the internet? I don't think any such functionality even exists in the app.

Sorry, sorry, I take TabletTalk out of that list. I misread the "direct link" information.
The problem with TabletTalk is, that it has an awful lot of bad reviews regarding the sync, saying it often does not work.
I already had an app (MightyText), which lost some texts, even new incoming ones did not appear on my phone then and friends were wondering, why I do not reply. So, that is not interesting to me.
Any other suggestions/ideas?
Thank you.

Hello, I didn't find any iPhone specific thread, plus not asking how to do something, just a question I got today.
My girlfriend says that one of her best friends iPhone is being spied on whatsapp by her ex.
Meaning she said, that her ex can know if she's chatting with someone in specific, and I'm not sure if he can "read" her messages by getting the backup files.
It's is possible to know with who someone is chatting on whatsapp? what if he has access to her Mac Address or IMEI number.
I don't know if it's possible, and if it's possible is there a way to block his access?
Thank you for your time.

Wrong forum buddy, this is a ANDROID forum, not an IPHONE forum
My device:
Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket (rooted)
RomaranoidAndroid (4.4.4)
Carrier:At&t
Im having a doubt that my smartphone is being keylogged by this thing called mobilespy android keylogger. Everyone is watching everything I do with my smartphone including the photos I take and save, facebook and whatsapp messages( both incoming and outgoing) and even the music I hear. My friends are responding to whatever I do by uploading photos in fb, whatsapp and through status updates in both. I dont want to get rid of this keylogging. I just want to get the details of this keylogging like whoever it is senting to and any proof to show them. Because I want to catch them red-handed. Please help!!
I posted about this issue in xda several months ago, but this thing called mobilespy never came to my mind. Thats why Im asking. Also, I want to know this thing works in safe mode too? Please help!
Help me!
It is hard to tell since some mobile spy app like mobile spy, spyfone app and iKeyMonitor are totally invisible. But you can restore your phone to get rid of such apps if you suspect it.

Here is my professional advice based on several facts:
You joined XDA in October 2014; posted four messages about being spied on and keylogged on Android; have had and continue to have numerous issues being hacked/taken over; you use firewall and other android apps to no avail; all other non android equipment works fine for you. So, Android is "definitely" the culprit.
Here is the advice: ask for a raise from Mr. Cook or better have him make you the chief of Apple's propaganda department...

Dont let your afraidness take you over!
Go and make a factory reset of your phone.
Next time buy a blackphone and you and your mind have peace...
All the best!
