I would like to set my Kaiser to send pre-written text messages at specific times, does anyone have any idea about any software that does this? Or anyway to do it on the phone now?
For example, next week, I'll be traveling. I would like to write a text wishing my girlfriend a happy birthday, and then have my phone send it to her at 8AM her time, which will be 3AM my time.
Or, as another example, being able to set it so to send other people I work with reminder texts, about deadlines or whatnot, without my having to keep track of doing it myself.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

you are in luck because I have found this recently for my kaiser and it works great. Does scheduling and group texting and you can save the groups too.
Ah, that's brilliant, I'll give it a try.
Muchas Gracias!!

OK, this is frustrating as hell, do any of you professionals have any ideas??
Each night, I send three to five messages to the same person, say at 0300, 0305, 0310, and 0315.
Almost universally, the first message is delivered, as I can see it crossed off in the Scheduled Messages section of PowerSMS, and it also appears in the Messaging program as sent.
However, the remaining messages, although crossed off as sent in PowerSMS, do not appear to have been sent, and do not appear in the Messaging program as sent?
Any ideas? This is the sole reason I bought PowerSMS--to send scheduled messages to the same person, but it's only sending the first one.
I've tried everything. Soft resets. 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 minutes between messages. Leaving PowerSMS minimized. Closing it entirely. Leaving it open on the desktop. Plugging the phone in, leaving it unplugged but with plenty of power. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it sends a few messages. Most times, it doesn't.
Frankly, this is annoying. The phone works. Messages coming and going are not an issue, EXCEPT when PowerSMS is involved in sending them.
I posted much of this on the developer's site, and his only comment was: "That seems odd, and I don't have an answer for you right off the bat because the behavior is unpredictable. Does it help if you space the messages out a bit more (i.e. try to send them 15 minutes apart instead of 5)? Also, can you soft-reset your device to ensure the memory is clean and nothing else is running in the background? Then see if you can get it to send yourself 3 messages in a row 10-15 minutes apart. One guess is this *may* be related to the power management features of the device. It gets woken up at a certain time, sends the message and goes back to sleep and tries to wake up too quickly. Maybe this is causing the problem?"
Anyone here have any thoughts? What he says makes sense, but I have no idea where to go from there.
What version are you using? The newest version is 1.3 and it may fix the issues.

Thanks for the quick response, yes, I am using 1.3.
When it works, it's a brilliant little program. It just doesn't work very often. I'm tempted to ask for my money back.
You should try these two programs out. They look very promising!

Power SMS is no longer freeware... At least not for me.

It has a 14 day trial, but is only about $10, which i believe to be a fantastic deal considering all it's features, including export to .csv and .xml files.

Like I said, the phone sends and receives fine. Never an issue. Not that I get many texts at 3AM, but if I do, I can reply.

Yep, it works like a dream, and confirms that the messages have been sent with a Notification.
Nice.
I work nights and have a roommate that is brings random guys/girls over after I leave for work (or the neighbors are full of crap). I've confronted him about it but still says that he doesn't bring anyone over. I have my G1 and a work provided phone.
Question is, I have Remote Defense installed on my phone so incase it turns up missing I can track it. I plug my phone into the charger, fire up the voice recorder app and leave it by my bedroom door when I leave. Problem is, it fills up the SD card and I really don't care for reviewing only a few hours of audio thats too quiet and filling up my card every night.
Blah blah, I know. Remote Defense will lock your phone, track your phone. Is there an app that I can send a message to or remotely connect to dial me at work so I can check up?
Mucho Thanks!
There are fake call apps available to "get out of a situation", but none that will really call a number.
But daddy, why can' I have friends over? I'm an adult, can't I atleast decide THAT for myself?
I don't know your situation and I don't mean to be rude, but not letting a roommate have people over is kinda like being an asshole.. kind of..
Remote Defense sounds like a nice app, I did a search for it on the market and came up with no results. Has it been renamed or ???
Please provided apk ( if its a free app of course )
try NoiseAlert, i think it's something similar or better to what u looking for in a way.

I have been a long time fan of Vlingo for Blackberry and I read that it is now available for Android. I can't seem to find it in the market and I even went to www.vlingo.com/getvlingo. When I pull up the link it opens the market and says that there are no results for my search? Has anyone been able to successfully install this on the N1 running Froyo? If so, please enlighten me on how to do so.
Also, does this new version support Bluetooth voice dial since 2.2 has the ability now? One more thing, I did the build.prop mod to show all protected apps in the Market. Maybe that has something to do with it? If so, how do I revert this as well?

Vlingo pulls up fine for me - stock 2.1 (search for vlingo pulls it right up)
I'm on Froyo and can't pull up vlingo either (also went through Market and the getvlingo links).
Can anyone throw it up on a mirror?
Thanks!

This is a paid app, I pulled it up on my old G1. I don't think anybody is gonna post it here. Sorry for everybody who would actually pay for it.

Geez, ten bucks? What is it supposed to do that the inbuilt voice command cannot?
I used Vlingo when I had a BB and I didn't like it, and it was free at that time.

This is what they've got on their blog.
well, considering that voice to text should be available in any field that you are using the stock keyboard (i use swype, so i only turn stock on when i'm in the car), seems like vlingo is worthless
maybe i'm wrong
Thats pretty deceiving, since you can use the built-in android VR to compose emails and txt messages. I've done it many times, and it works great. I also use it to update my facebook status. As far as i can tell, there's really nothing that you CAN'T do with the built in VR, since you can use it anywhere you can use the keyboard.
Just got a reply back from support.
I was asked if my phone is rooted and if so that's the issue because the Market blocks Dev and Rooted phones.
Errrrr, hmmmm.
Anybody going to dish out 10 bucks for it and give us a review?

I got the exact same email from them about 5 minutes ago. I was solely interested in BETTER Bluetooth voice dial which they DON'T support at this time... I'm over it!
I suspect it doesn't show up in the market on Froyo devices because Google changed their voice recognition API in Froyo. They'll have to make some changes to the code and compile it with the 2.2 sdk.
I bought the app on my 2.1 Droid. The voice recognition is a lot better than Google's. I can actually use this, talk naturally, and don't have to worry about making corrections after the fact. I've got it mapped to hold on search hardware button, I say "Send an email to John Doe subject look at this message I composed this entire email without using my keyboard". It will ask me to verify the contact and email address I want to send to, let me choose to send with gmail or my exchange account, and insert the subject line and text in the message automatically. It's very slick and makes voice recognition really useful on android.

Uh, how is that not false advertising??
I can open Gmail right now, click a text box, and press the voice button.
Wtf?

Read my post above yours. This is what they were referring to.
As far as froyo support, I may be wrong: http://blog.vlingo.com/2010/05/android-22-froyo-support-for-vlingo.html
Bottom line is that as soon as Android Market flips the switch and recognizes the 2.2 OS as an officially released OS, Vlingo will show up as available for download. We'll certainly let you know once Android Market makes the change, and all you Froyo pioneers will be free to download Vlingo at your leisure.

So the only difference is that you can create and send an email without actually opening the Gmail app?
That's still false advertising as you can indeed Compose an email through voice.
If they made a distinction between "open apps using your voice", then it would be correct. But the way they are phrasing it is totally false.
I bought it, mapped it to long-press search button. The very first time I used it, it worked perfectly. "Text Google Weather [my zip code]" and sure enough, Handcent opened and the TXT was 100% correct. That was the only time it worked though. Everything else was close, but enough off I had to manually input something (find the correct contact or change the body of the message). Wasn't very impressed with it at all.

The first thing I noticed was how broken the interaction was when she said "call wonton shop" and it didn't call anywhere. it just looked up the number. the first result was a teriyaki place...go figure.
the second thing i noticed was the price. $10? for real? no thanks.
The stock Hero dialer/phone allows you to send a pre-determined text message to a caller when you hit the menu button as a call comes in. Is there ANY app in the Market or apk file we can pull from the stock rom to have this feature in CM6?
This feature came in handy quite often.
Bump to the top (or should this be in the apps section)?
Have you tried Dindy? (Can't post a link because I'm a new member but it is in the Market, or search App Brain for it)
I haven't tried it but it seems to have a lot of features and is much cheaper than Advanced Call Manager.

Thank you for the suggestion, but I am actually looking for the ability to send a text manually - like the stock HTC phone program. I want to choose wether to accept, send to voicemail, or text reply to the call.
w00t!
Just found SMS Receptionist in the Market for 99cents that does exactly what I'm looking for. If anyone knows of a free app, please share!
Dunno if these are exactly what you're looking for, but they're both free to try out
SwiftReply Free and SwiftReply Lite relatively the same name but they're made by two different people

I actually tried the Free version, but it didn't actually work. No option ever popped up for me to decline and send a text. And when I set it to automatically send, it never sent anything at all. The lite version only has the auto feature which declines all calls (not what i'm looking for).
Thanks though
This is a free app that does something like what you want, I think.

Excellent find! So far, it seems to be working as advertised. Needs more polish, but functionality trumps looks any day,
Agreed, I'm glad you like it!
On my Captivate when I recieve a message it's never in order.
For example, I send a test text to a friend at 7:41. When he sends it back one minute later the text ends up behind mine (not in order) and the time recieved says 2:41am.
Is there something wrong that I'm missing? How can I fix this?

Wow. I tried the app mentioned in the topic and it totally ruined the order of my texts...
Yeah, that did not work at all. Messed things up even more.
Any other ideas?
Use Handcent, it's free, totally customizable and works.

don't use auto time/date update
if you use the stock messaging app, try using handcent or chomp and see if it still does it.
