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

Anyone? At all?
I never "got" Twitter
I dont feel important enough to believe that anyone would care what I was doing "right now". Conversely, I'm not interested in being constantly informed what anyone else is doing right now. I know a couple people that use it, but it seems like one more thing to keep up with.
just my .02
i am a fairly recent Twitterer. Was travelling recently and found it a way of passing messages back and forth.
I use it. username: cp1md2b

I don´t use twiter, facebook or any others
You have to invest time on them and makes you a vicious in a few weeks
I know myself, prefer to stay away...now too many hours in front my laptop...between my work and XDA.
I can´t imagine if I use one of those apps...my wife would kill me!
EDIT: Now using Facebook and tweet but limited time....

lol! I didn't think I'd use it at all, but I was surprised by how many did use, like developers and news groups. Great way to get info/news as it happens.
are you guys/gals using twitter via your mobile phone or are using it via your laptop? Im asking cause i want to be able to use it via my phone (touch pro). wanting to know what app or cab i could use to install on my device.
Using it on both depending where i am at the time.
Personally the best app for the PPC i have found is PockeTwit. It works and is being updated regularly. The updating is built into the app as well.
I have had issues using it to upload to TwitPic so i keep ceTwit in the device as well.
I have twitter, but using it only for my website, not for personal needs (seems useless for me).
But anyway, if anyone wants to fallow me here is:

twitter is public and people don't need an account to read messages. I have a couple of friends who follow my Twitter stream to see what i am doing without an acount for themselves. Also for access from my Trinity, the Twitter clients are so much easier to use and faster.
There is an app called "My Account" in the market by T-Mobile that allows you to view account data such as minutes used/available, billing balance etc.
The app is free and to me its helpful. Just thought I'd share...
yea
i LOVED it when i put it on my phone. No matter what company you go through, the webpage, billing, minutes of use, txt usage, is horrible. This app made it VERY easy to read, use, and even pay a bill (IT EVEN TELLS YOU THE BATTERY LIFE, CONDITION etc, also has payment history that isnt tied to that programs usage to pay bills, all your payments are shown)

I had to re-read what he wrote as well, but he meant that every other tools a company used to provide account information had been horrible, and this app is the exception.
I absolutely love it.
That's amazing! I'm hoping it's from Tmobile so personal info isn't stolen, but considering it finds the info without me logging in, it MUST have access to tmobile's servers.

Yeah, it's official from T-Mobile. They announced it first in their official forums, so no worries!
They seem like they took all precautions by not allowing wifi enable checking.
Sugar!!!!!
Thanks, this is great! Beats using the browser to get to my acocunt info
Good o'l Tmobile. Finally an application I can recommend to customers. It also has some really neat steps for Trouble Shooting that may answer some questions without having to call in if you're having problems. So check it.

Yeah its a pretty useful app. Especially considering my bill is due tomorrow lol.
Can't find this on the UK market, can somebody upload the apk for me?
Please
Does any one have the 1.0 version of this app. I downloaded the 1.1 update and now i can not use this app because it only requires 3g and edge. I only have wifi but they took that off for secority reasons. if you have 1.0 please back it up and upload. thanks
My Account 1.0.0
Can Someone upload the newest version ?
I just tested this with my G1 on Tmo in the UK and it doesn't work properly. It shows someone's account details, but they are not mine. I'm not greatly surprised it didn't work or I would have expected to see it on the Market in the UK. I am surprised that it shows someone's details though rather than an error!

lolz i have the same, it's not my account info what the application shows.
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.

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.
ok so i used to have a tmo dash (excaliber) and i had an app that allowed me to call people and specify the number i was calling from but i dont remeber the name of the app..... can someone please help andse if its avaliable for the touch pro/fuze

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.

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.
wasnt it supposed to drop a few weeks ago? anyone got the dirt on this?
I grow more frustrated with bloo and babbler everyday. Need a real solution!
You and me both
just use the mobile facebook page, it's better than any app I've ever come across anyway.
There's actually two versions:
x.facebook.com - better version, possibly the iPhone version. My Magic currently defaults to this no matter which url I enter.
m.facebook.com - slightly inferior, suited to WM & Symbian

You can indeed set a status on the iPhone version, you simply press "status" which appears in the blue bar at the top left

Oh sorry, misread...I thought you said you can't add a status of your own.
Yeah I can't seem to find how to comment either actually but you can go to the m.facebook site by clicking "Mobile site" at the bottom of the page. That stops the default to x.facebook that you get by typing them in the address bar

Ah nice, it is working. Last time I tried it just kept redirecting me. Hmm.. perhaps I didn't press that link
its aggravating that because of google and facebook hating eachother they're taking it out on their customers! oh well hopefully they figure this out soon.

The lack of an official facebook app was the only thing that shocked me. I just got my MT3G two days ago and that was pretty upsetting considering even the Blackberry FB app was pretty nice.
Maybe t-mobile will be releasing a facebook app for their mytouch.

That's not an official facebook app, just a facebook sync app htc made.
ahh, ok. I seen that and thought maybe there was going to be a facebook app that worked in conjunction with the phone or something.
Good question.
I'm sick of Babbler and Bloo.
Those are crap, in my opinion.
FACEBOOK FTW!!!
I was fortunate enough to get a beta copy of the official app... guys all I can say is wow, this is gonna blow the iphone app out the water!!!
It's on the same level if not above. It does everything your desktop version does , chat is enabled. It was a beta and was still a little bit slow but you can get a general idea of where they are going with the app
Dont know if I'm allowed to post screenshots??
