Hey guys!
I developed TalkMyPhone, an open-source app that enables you to control your phone from google talk. It's like android-notifier on steroids, since it brings almost the same features and you don't need wifi/bluetooth enabled.
I can't post links since I'm new here. Google for talkmyphone or look for it on the market.
Developers: I'm open to contributions
Users: please use the issue tracker for suggesting features
I don't have many non-french users since the info did not spread very well outside of french blogs, so I'm posting it here. I hope someone will find it useful and write something about it.

Do you need multiple GTalk accounts in order to talk to it, or can you "talk to yourself" ?
Niice Idea
sweeeet thx
Doesn´t work on my SGS. After trying to to login the app closed. And now i can´t open it again. Even every other app wont start.
Only a restart helped. Uninstalled.
But the idea is interessting. maybe i´ll give a try again later.

The 2 solutions work. Talking to yourself is possible in gmail, but you cannot initiate the conversation, so in this case, best is to use a third party client like pidgin. Otherwise you can set up a second account. Any standard jabber account is possible.
Accounts delivered at jabber.org are *very* easy to get. You don't need to give your email address, you don't need to sign an agreement. You just have to fill a captcha to prove you're human.

Weird. Some unlucky people experiment bugs like this one. I don't know where this comes from, and I try to improve the code. It works 100% of the time for me, so all I can do is look at 'adb logcat' traces users leave on the bugtracker. If you wish to do so, it might improve your chances to see this fixed
giving it a shot
you may try changing your preferences.xml to the attached (just because of english, just change .zip to .xml)
i have to find the other file, because i noticed some other grammatical things. no worries tho
and, 'additional settings', in the xml has too many 'n's, lol

Thank you, I'll update that in the next release.
Pretty Neat
I was able to go on Google Talk on my PC and send messages to my phone. The copy:text feature I can definitely see myself using so that I don't have to type long URLs in the browser. The other functions seem like they would be nice if you lost your phone or if it was stolen. Overall a pretty neat app! Thanks!

So I have the app running and logged in. (Phone is logged into [email protected])
On my PC I have [email protected]. I message from PC to phone (John to Paul) and nothing happens.
I tried "where" "ring" etc, but the app doesn't respond. What am I doing wrong?
What next...
When you start the app on the phone, make sure you input your google information and then start the app. If you have Google Talk up on your PC, it should pop up a window for you to type commands into (talk to/control your phone). It did for me anyway. Type a "?" to get a list of the commands...

Hmm, I did all this. Let me see where the issue is:
My phone's Google account is set to [email protected].
I put in [email protected] and my password into TalkMyPhone.
I start up TalkMyPhone and it logs in -- successfully.
I go to my PC and log into gmail on [email protected].
I message from my PC ([email protected]) to my phone ([email protected]).
I get the message but nothing happens with TalkMyPhone.
Can you tell me where the issue is?
i entered in all of my information too and nothing seems to work, the app says loging in .. then that its successful. but then nothing can be done from there.
i cant even log in
i always get the message: "login failed" and then "stopping service"
i tried setting it on "use the phones account settings"
then i turned that off, and manually put in my gmail-settings - still didnt work
Same issues over here... Got it all connected, reciving messages from the phone works fine, too (welcome, battery, incomming callings) but sending commands doesn't work for me.
Got a HTC Magic/Sapphire with CM6 (2.2) running on it.
I had the same problem. I changed the GTalk Port to 5222 and entered my ****@googlemail.com instead of ****@gmail.com
Works perfect on my HD2 (Android ) Thank you!
When I log in on phone i get this gTalk message on my pc from my own account:
Welcome to TalkMyPhone. Send "?" for getting help
Battery level 78%
Works just perfect...

i changed @gmail.com to @googlemail.com
and it logs in now....
but i dont get any messages....
do i need to have the real gtalk installed on my computer?
doesnt applications like trillian for windows work?
I tried Pidgin and it works but I use the GMail-Chat because it's my info hub
Anyways, great work chm.duquesne, this is a really great application.
Now there just needs to be a way in GTalk to turn off the chat notification in Android for a single contact
// Edit
The "where" feature is really awesome, mate.
Nothing serious but the reply feature does not work for me. When I received a SMS and I type "reply:This is my reply" it answers "No match for "+491234567890" (the number being the correct number, of course).

I use gTalk and it works.
Is it possible to get some kind of ping button on the phone, that opens the conversation window on the pc? I cannot figure out how to open a conversation with myself in gTalk.
Hey guys. Really need some help here. I woke up this morning with google services connectivity issues. For some reason I can only connect to the play store, retrieve email in Gmail, refresh my files on drive etc while on wifi. While on LTE i get no connectivity at all. Other apps work fine. I can browse and stream on chrome, check gmail via chrome, use other apps etc. I have not the slightest idea what is causing this issue.
a huge percentage of my usage is with Google Music, i am a subscriber to all access. I am really sad that i have no tunes now, only the songs that are cached to my phone will play while on my mobile network.
I cant even send or recieve messages via the hangouts app. Ugh!
I am on a rooted Nexus 5 currently running aokp kitkat nightly 2014-04-18
I am really frustrated as I am sure you guys can understand. Any assistance/guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Please let me know if there is any other info I can provide to help you guys give me some advice.
Thanks!

i have the issue as well. found out several minutes after it started, as i noticed something keeping my device awake. looked, then realized it was trying to sync but couldnt. then play store and hangouts wouldnt work, so i realized it was a google issue.
Good to see this post. I was just starting to think it was just me or t-mobile. I was only abel to get connected to google services by wifi. but what did help me was to turn off and on airport mode to force it to re-sign into the cell tower with a new connection. But I think google has fixed the problem by now. So far google services are working fine with my cell connection.
Hi all. I have a strange problem with my device. On 4G I am not able to sync it with Google Servers, even if the exclamation point disapears of the icon. And it does seems to be just with Google, because I can navigate with anyother sites or apps that doesnt need autentication. Instagram, news websites, for example, works very well on LTE, but nothing about Google, i cant even make a research, even in the Chrome or in an app. The problem happens only in LTE, 3G signal works everything ok.
So, i though it was my SIMCARD, i went in the store and bought a new one, unfortunatly wasnt. Can anyone help me please? My mind is about to explode, i cant think in other possibilities for fix the issue.
Oh, i dont think its a signal problem either, my friends with LTE and using an Iphone for example dont have any problems. And my device either, as i said, i can use instagram for example normally, just apps that need sync like google or whatsapp.
Right now i am in 4G connection, posting here, but also i cant use whatsapp or google websites for example.

Hello
I had to do a hard reset on a Nexus 9 from our school that was stuck in a boot loop. The reset was successful but now I am asked to sign in with the previously used account. The problem is that each of our students uses a different Google account and I don't know which student was the last user of this tablet. The Google accounts used are from Google Apps for Education so if I knew the account name, I could easily reset its password and get access. But we have >200 accounts and I can hardly try each of them to sign in.
So how can I find out which was the previous account that was used on this tablet?
Thanks in advance
Chris

I've been using Firefox as my browser for a long time now. All of a sudden, it is refusing to connect to certain websites that I visit regularly. I get a warning screen that reads, "This Connection is Untrusted."
In the reading that I've done on this, it looks like Firefox now looks to see if there is an https:// in front of the URL. If not, or if there is mixed content, it returns this warning. Sometimes the screen allows you to click a link at the bottom that reads "I understand the risks" and then you can setup a permanent exception to the rules and visit the site without any issue. Other times, they don't give you the option. When that happens there doesn't appear to be any way to get the site to load.
Does anyone know how to turn these warning off? I've looked in about:config, but I haven't found a setting.

Sorry about that. It's the Android app. I'm running it on a Sprint Galaxy Note 4, Android 6.0.1.
