Bluetooth Hack??? - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I remember when i had the T-Mobile DASH, I bought an app called SNIPER. What it pretty much did is detect all bluetooth's in the area where i was located and i was able to send messages with a hidden name to all the people that had there bluetooth on. Any chances of an app like that making its way to the android? or is the andriod still at a young stage for app like that to be coming out? im not saying it will be posted in the "MARKET" but i wonder if someone will ever make it and post it on sites like this or other sites? can i get some feedback on this?

Anyone? Does anyone know of what app I'm talking about? 200 something views and no feerd back?

341 views and yet anyone has to comment on this idea for an app? why is this? are you guys scared to comment? did i break the forms rules? (i hope i didn't) has no one ever used the app called SNIPER on there T-Mobile Dash? come on people i need feedback.

I remember that app. I'm sure something along those lines will eventually be created.

OMG!!!! someone knows what im talking about!!!!

Just like the other 300+ views. I'm viewing this post, however I will reply. Most people "Do Not" reply because they do not have anything to offer not because they don't want to, maybe its because they don't know.

why did you use that app? just to mess around with people?
doesn’t bluetooth need a pairing code to connect devices?

I used to use a app like that on my S60 phone, But you see as I remember it, the other person still had to accept that you were requesting a connection. Which that being said, I doubt many people really WANT to go bluetooth apps. I mean after that Virus thing.. would you trust someone sending you something?

I had sniper on my n95. For anybody that hasn`t heard of it, its a bluejacking application.
What we need is an app that can send a note via bluetooth.
I was hoping since BlueX was released a bluejacking program may be out soon.
oh BTW I notice Bluex`s next update may include a ftp browser over bluetooth. That would be great, means you could hack phones in a similar method to a samsung

I don't think the Android SDK even provides Bluetooth libraries yet.

What you're looking for is a way to spoof your callerId. So far no one has written an app to do that for the windows mobile platform - although there is one for both the iphone and blackberry..grrrrr
I know there are services you can use to do this - like spoofcard or something like that...but if I remember right they call charge you by the minute ....
Would be nice if someone would write such an app.....
ok i know that the app exist for the windows causei had it for the dash it was awesome... i know it has to be somewhere ou here i got it here orginally...
isn't the dash a smartphone maybe its they don't have a pocket pc version..... not sure though
can someone confirm a working app for windows mobile? sounds interesting
Hmm, sounds like an interesting feature. I didn't realize such things were possible. I also heard that the Nokia E71 had the ability to see who the person you're calling is talking to (if the number you're calling happens to be busy). Strange that such functions aren't available on WM.
Anyway, the T-Mobile Dash is a WM5.0 phone, so I would think that there is, indeed, a Windows Mobile software that can do this (at the very least, it exists in the phone).
Theoretically speaking, one would be able to pull the software out of the OS, right?
Interesting - because I have searched high-and-low for such software for Windows Mobile and I haven't not seen one - so if one truely exists I'd like to see it.
If the guy that supposedly had it on his dash - do you still have the phone? if so I can walk you though how to copy it off that phone so it can be put on another.
Anyway I haven't seen such an app - I gotta see it.
sorry took so long had a long ass day of werk but yeah... i dont have the dash anymore it got burned up in a bar b q gone wrong.... but yeah i actualy got the sotware from a friend he said he found it here on the xda developer site... but thn again i have also searched high n low here and have found nothing... i tried google... but i think i keep asking for the wrong thing.... but yeah i would give anything for that again it was great used to call my boss n he always though i was in my office... plus its fun to mess aorund with frineds.. lol but yeah i also read up on that what was posted earlier about being able to see who the other person is talking to to ... but it was all very sketchy....
ok got more info is a caller id Spoofer see if anyone else can find anything interesting...
As unfortunate as it is, I think that the app has been lost with your BBQ Dash. I have tried searching up and down Google and XDA-Developers and while quite a few interesting apps has appeared under my radar, no caller ID spoofing software appears to exist. Well, at least not for Windows Mobile anyway as I'm sure anyone doing a similar search will know.
However, some bit of good news: I found something that may be satisfactory enough. Some of you may have seen this, but the service is called 'Bluff My Call'. It is a paid service, but you are allowed to make a free spoofed call so long as it is under two minutes.
Here is the link: http://bluffmycall.com/free/
The company has developed an app to use the service, but unfortunately, it's only for BlackBerry and iPhone. This means that the only way for Windows Mobile users to use the service is through the Internet. Is it possible to do it through your phone's Internet browser? Maybe, but I haven't tried.
Furthermore, the ability to mask your voice and record the call is not allowed without an account. The latter is not important since recording software exists, but the lack of voice masking is pretty disappointing.
Sorry guys, but this looks like the best we got.

That's interesting - because I've never seen such an app like that posted on this site - and I'm sure I probably would of noticed.
Any chance you can get a hold of yer friend that gave it to you in the first place? Perhaps he still has an install for it or at least the actual name of the thing?
Check your state laws as I know in my state of Louisiana, spoofing your caller ID is now illegal here.
anyone got anything on this yet?!
I'm still keeping an eye out too. If I find one I'll post to this thread - but the moment such an application for WM simply does not exist.
yea, hopefully someone comes up with something...if another phone is able to have it..i dont see wut the problem is to get it to winmobile
If I am reading this correctly, the OP is looking for basically a WM VOIP app that runs thru one of the Caller ID spoofing websites. One is not actually making a voice call thru their own service provider.
I know that my data plan prohibits doing VOIP, but as with anything, penalties depend on getting caught.

WHY would you download and install something if you don't know what it does? Sort of like the "here eat this and tell me if it tastes bad to you" mentality.

Actually he did know WHAT the program does, he simply doesn't know how to use it. Give him a break.
Now as per the program, if anyone has a Dash or any other Windows Mobile device with this capability please post on this thread and we will help you help the community by making a copy of it from your phone.

Is there an app that....

On the Iphone there is an app that allows you to see other iphone users in your area and chat with them is there such an app on android ?
Stephen Fry had it on his iphone when he was on topgear a few months back. I am looking for something similar but not focused on a particualr sex.

There's one thats called gfinder or something similar. I'll try and find the exact name unless someone else can chime in.
When I first went into the t-mobile store to check out the g1, they showed me something similiar to what you are asking but the downfall was that other g1 users had to opt in to use it. For some reason I thought it was part of the original cupcake software
Now that I checked, it is right in google maps, called latitude
latitude
Does latitude have general people on it or do you have to add friends before you can use it ???
It's friends only.

You have to add friends but the gfinder or gfindster just see's everyone, but of course they would have to have the app installed. I used it a long time ago and didn't think much of it. While looking that up I saw another app called loopt that looks like the same thing, I could be wrong tho.
Latitude works for everybody. Not just G1 users. It uses your Gmail account to send request to other people who have to accept you and allow you to see where they are at and chat and stuff. Works nicely, but you have to know their e-mail address to get them added.
So, no you can not find random people with G1's to connect with. I don't know if there is an app that will allow that, but Latitude will not.
I believe you have to opt in to use it, general people on there and since it requires your gps to use, I don't think that you will find any one using except for the most basic users that are unaware that turning off the gps saves you some serious battery life
Aight I just looked it up and its call GFindster PREMIUM but they also have a lite version.
Hmmm, seems like the salesman at t-mobile gave me the wrong info then but since I never used it, I was baseing my info on inacurate info, sorry

No your right cause they was pushing the whole latitude thing. But GFindster is just a seperate app that looks up anyone without having them listed as friends.
thankyou
Thankyou you all for your help I will check out the gfindster app and see how it goes.
you should also check out buddymob
shows where all users are on a map around you and you can click on their little dot (pink for women, blue for guys) and it will show you their profile without having to be their friend

APP for G1....need help in creating one Willing to PAY

Hello, XDA peeps....
I want to create an app but have no idea how to do so. Could someone help me create one or maybe even they can create one and I'll pay.
Sort of a Database Application that I want created with pictures and stuff.
Could someone help me .... Please?
developer.android.com/resources/index.html
Especially the tutorial-section. Take this, some coffee and some time (and then moar coffee =) ) and you get the knowledge for little money (depending on how much your time is worth and, of course, the coffee price =) )
Also you might find some videos @ youtube about this topic.
Hf =)
Thanks for that information.....looks good but by the time I try to figure out how to make the app I want, Android would a grandfather and have many little droids running around.
I need help....or more to the point I need a Developer....a Super Developer...or even his sidekick will do.
What is the app you're trying to make? Could you be more specific?

I would like to be more specific but can't really. Most I could say is more of a database app. Do you know how to create an app?
WOW....i was really hoping to find some developers....but a ghost town is more alive....
I don't think anyone is going to get excited about writing you a database app, whatever you might mean by that.. android uses sqlite databases so its kind of already there. It seems that your options are to spill some details and get us interested, or do it yourself.

I'm not a Twitter pro or anything... but I think as long as you preface your tweet by @koush, he'll see your message and will probably respond. He's a good guy and won't screw you over...so just get in touch with him.

Does the rom transfer between phones? Just asking--
Can you copy your TB backup or whole sd card from the s to n sd card so the n sees those apps and knows you have rom mgr

You can probably also get his email by clicking on 'Send email to the developer'.
Actually, just checked, you don't even have to click on it. His email is right there on the page.
You know every app on the Market has the developer's email, right?

yeah i knew about that, but i'm still getting used to the new market layout (that, and a brain fart). I tried the website but it looks like it's no longer up. thanks again everyone!
Now i feel really dumb, esp. since i've gotten help from other app devs the same way in the past.
Sorry, I just re-read my message and it sounds kind of snarky. Don't feel bad for forgetting about that, everyone has brain farts.

thanks for the apology, but i didn't take it that way.
Honestly, after seeing your response the first time, I just felt so dumb. I didn't get the app from the market, but I should've known to check there anyway.
dude doesn't respond to tweets or emails. Starting to piss me off.
if i would have known trying to save 1 dollar was gonna cause me this much headache.....
join the crowd
never got a response
now use amon_ra
I have the exact same problem. I tried to contact him by email but he does not reply. Will try to contact him via Twitter.
It really pisses me off.
Just wanted to see if this got rectified? I recently did the reverse of the OP. Switched from the Nexus One up to the Nexus S. Premium isn't showing up on the NS.
nope. I just won't support the dev anymore. if one really wants to pay for this app, go thru the market. the dollar isn't worth the headache.
also waiting for response
i also buyed via Paypal cause i dont have a credit card (Market only accept Credit-card)
i changed rom and cannot activat premium features
will try to get money back from paypal (45days!)
hope he will response in next few days
greetings
If it were me, I would find alternative means of getting the software. You already paid for the license. If the dev don't wanna support his own product, either don't use it, or find another place to download it. There are many places to obtain android apps.
I don't like spreading this because I support the developers and truly appreciate the work they do. But I also don't like to see ppl cheated out of their money whether it was intentional or not. I'll tell you how to get that app from the market without paying. Just shoot me a pm.
Sent from my Motorola Olympus
I am another person who bought via PayPal, thinking it would save me $1 and put more $ in the developers pocket rather than the Android market taking it. I originally purchased it back in January 2011 and now cannot get my new device to show that it is the premium version without purchasing on the Android Market... Did anyone find a solution to this or get a reply from Koush?

Dropbox Suspicions? Anyone?

So, anyone afraid of dropbox now, lol.
http://jdsawyer.net/2011/07/02/put-it-in-the-cloud-are-you-nuts/
For the average user they can't cause any harm for storing music files or videos to have access to them elsewhere. So no reason for me to stop using it.
I sense lawsuits from somebody.
To add some facts to that: Dropbox already modified these changes, clearifying that those are legal terms they need to technically operate their service.
Read the lower part of this post: thinq.co.uk/2011/7/3/dropbox-terms-service-target-your-stuff/
A Dropbox spokesman:
Some of you have written us with very understandable concerns about the legal-sounding parts. In particular, our new TOS talks about the licenses we need to run Dropbox. We want to be 100% clear that you own what you put in your Dropbox. We don’t own your stuff. And the license you give us is really limited. It only allows us to provide the service to you. Nothing else

However, users should be alarmed.
Yeah, came across this at bleeding cool. Com, from a Greg Rucka twitter (comic book writer), thought there would be some interest here. The main point someone was putting forth is that we are not the customers with dropbox/Facebook etc, we are the Product/Merchandise ...

Shady! I haven't trusted (or used) Facebook for many months now. If you investigate their history it's more than a little sketchy. They don't want your information ... 'just because'.
It's really not that shady; it's just a bunch of legal jargon stemming from outdated laws they have to put into the agreement to protect themselves when storing millions of people's personal file's. Nothing will come of this, because there's no way a lawsuit will be able to get anything out of them

I know its kinda backward, but depending on the size of stuff just email it to yourself. With the size of hotmail and gmail these days a few gigs worth of attachments might just be ok. And if there 'stories', ie your a writer IIRC you've just copyrighted your work by mailing it to yourself (someone might want to clairify or correct that statement, just a thought bouncing around in my poor brain, lol).
