Chrome to phone

Hey guys,
I was reading gizmodo's blog and it had an article about the chrome to phone. In the article it said that was possible send links, maps/directions, phone numbers, texts... well I'm using chrome to phone on my N1 for a while already and so far all I could send over was links and maps/directions. I Googled about it and I didn't found any instructions how to send phone numbers or texts.
Has any figure it how to do it? Or is not implemented yet?
Thx.

Just maps and websites as far as I know.

It works with phone numbers.

and text you highlight
goes to phone's clipboard!

I'm not sure if you mean sending texts and phone numbers from your browser to your phone or to another phone, but you need google voice with a google number to send texts to other cell phones from your computer. This may not even be what you are asking.

Appbrain can send apps to your phone using ' fast web installer'
....same service-cloud-phone api

Ahhhh now I got it.
as superhongry said it works with text/numbers u highlight. So if u wanna send a text, all u have to do is highlight the text and send to phone. It ill be on the clipboard so all u have to do is paste into the notepad or w/e u wanna keep.
Same goes for number. If u wanna send a phone number u saw in a webpage all you have to do is highlight the number, send it to phone and past it into the phone app dialer.
ty for the help ppl

it still just send the whole page when i have something highlighted... am i missing something?

Yeah, I haven't been able to figure out the sending text to the clipboard feature. I've tried highlighting it, copying it first on my desktop, and random other stuff that doesn't even make sense to try. Only ever sends the webpage link.
Any trick to doing it?

Well, I guess is still a beta service so aint all that smooth... even when you highlight text/number it ALWAYS send the whole page, but the important is that the highlighted text/number get's stored in the system clipboard. So u can simply paste it w/e u like it.
According to the google doc page, when u highlight a cell number it should auto load the dialer, but that's a big negatory.. it simply don't work. But still the referred number get's stored in the clipboard so u can just past in the dialer.
When they launch a 1.0 version I'm hopping it will all work out.

NOPE!
Just select the text. Right click and select.
(Done using Firefox 3.6.3, Send To Phone 0.8 and Nexus One 2.2 FRF85B)

Funny enough in Chrome we don't get that option to right click an highlighted text and "send to android".... kinda sucks that Firefox extention has more functionality than Chrome's extension itself.

i tried sending a phone number to my phone yesterday morning
it was working. the phone automatically launched dialer with the number already inserted.
later in the afternoon, i tried again to show some friends...failed. all it sent was the entire page.
im sure they're still working out lots of bugs.

Well that just sounds like the standard Murphy's law working there
And thanks to the others with info on the clipboard. I never thought to check it when the page was sent over too, I just assumed it failed and sent the page instead.

yeah i just pasted and it had what i had highlighted last night still copied so that works, and i tried the firefox one, it works alot better

The chrome to phone is pretty much just a proof of concept that was written up for I/O.

In Chrome, you can highlight any text in the browser and click the normal Chrome-to-Phone button by the URL. It will open the URL in the browser on the phone, BUT, the text will ALSO be copied to the phone's clipboard. (In Chrome on the desktop, you should see the color of the highlighted text change slightly to indicate that it sent it).
This is confirmed in Chrome 6.0.453.1 dev with Google Chrome to Phone Extension Version 0.3 on Windows.

Caller ID

Hello everyone.
I am in search of an app that can HIDE / BLOCK CALLER ID IN OUTGOING CALLS. This one is preferably for Indian users.
Hope to get answers soon
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

Hmmm, an app wouldn't do this, although I guess it could if it placed the call for you. Really you would need a feature code for this. Common one is *67 followed by the number you're dialing. Your best bet is a google search like "sprint feature code" but using your carrier. You could also try using the word "star" in place of feature. Some carriers will not have all features of their phone system enabled.
Edit: I guess an app could possibly do it, you could also search "anonymous call" in the market to see.

Using Gingerbread or earlier:
1) Go to Settings

3) Additional settings
4) Wait until it initializes the options
5) Caller ID

Using ICS:
1) Open Phone app

I had a hard time finding that option in ICS (either on my Nexus S with ICS rom or on my Galaxy Nexus), so I used an app for a short while to hide my caller ID. There's quite a few on the market, but there's a free one which works great for me on ICS, it's called "myCallerID). I don't know if it will work for every country/carriers, but here's a link to it...

[Q] WTF is Falcon.apk (com.teleca.lgetestapp)? (System app)

Seems to have too many weird permissions, like:
- Directly call phone numbers, use sip (why? especially sip!)
- Access LGDRM
- Edit+read SMS/MMS
- GPS location
- Full internet access
- SD card access
- Intercept outgoing calls
- Change audio settings, record audio, take pictures and videos (WTF?)
Paranoid about it being some trojan, but I could be completely wrong.
Do you have it on your phone? As /system/app/Falcon.apk.
And why isn't it "com.lge.testapp" like all the other LG system apps? (Instead, it's com.teleca.lgetestapp.)
Can't seem to find anything about it at all on Google... other than http://www.teleca.com, "Mobile technology experts"

I have it too, not sure what it is ... created a shortcut to the apk to run it, seems like some sort of test app for lte/cdma network connectivity???

I guess I asked too soon, I just unpacked the .apk and I'm starting to dig through it now.
You might be right, based on some of the class names used, although other class names are somewhat suspicious looking as well (again, being paranoid).
Got curious on what's possibly going on on my phone after I got an unexpected Gmail access from an IP address in Thailand... during hours that I was not awake...

Thank you. I was going through explorer and looking at all the files, wondering which ones I could delete and what they all do.

Has anyone tried freezing the app to see what happens?

I disabled it manually, so far no problems

[Mod] Make/Receive Free Phone Calls! {V3} [Now Easier!]

This is a method to turn your n7 (or any other tablet) into a fully fledged soft phone with FREE incoming and outgoing calls all over the us.
This has the benefit over groove ip / sipdroid in that it still allows you to receive calls in Gmail. In addition, I found the call quality /delay in groove ip to be AWFUL.. This call quality is on par or better than tmobile wifi calling.
-----
This guide presupposes that you use Google voice. This will work on ANY ROM as long as it has been deodexed.
I know it sounds complicated, but it's really pretty simple if you follow the steps... And pretty foolproof. It took me about 15minutes from beginning to end to do all of this.
Step one: configure incoming:
1) set up a free SIP account with Callcentric.com . Once it is set up, click to 'add features' and add a free incoming number(note: if you don't want to pay for 911 services, you have to say that you're not in the US).
3) setup a sip app on your tablet (i like csipsimple.... Free in the play store) and connect it to your callcentric, account (user name is your callcentric sip number... Should start with 1777)
4) go to Google voice on your computer, go to settings, and add a new number. Add the number you were given by Callcentric (the phone number, not the 1777 number) . It will call and confirm you. It should ring through to your tablet! You now will receive incoming calls to your tablet! (note: if it can't 'hear' the numbers you are dialing, hang up, increase the volume on your tablet, and try again)
Now, let's get you set up for outgoing calls.
1) download voice+ from the play store and connect it to your Google voice account.
2) download exdialer from the play store (dialer one doesn't work... I don't know why)
Now you have two options. You can:
A) go here and use this nifty utility to modify your ROM for you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877891 (thanks Mateorod!)
or B) modify your framework-res.apk to make the tablet think that it is voice capable so that voice+ will be triggered when you make a call (this is what the above utility does for you).
1) download the framework-res editor that is attached here and unzip it
2) copy your framework-res.apk from your ROM (found in the /system/framework folder) and put it in the 'place-framework-res-here' folder
3) double click on 'run me' and decompile your framework-res
4) in the 'files-to-edit' folder, click on framework-res.apk>res>values>bools (edit the bools.xml file)
5) find the line for 'voice capable' and change 'false' to 'true'. save and close the file
6) in the framework Flasher that you opened in step 3, choose '2' and compile a new apk
7) choose option '3' and sign the apk.
8) choose option 4 and create an update.zip
9)flash the update.zip that you made
10) click 'thank' for my help in making this guide
Note: if you are getting an error about "echo off", you probably don't have java jre installed. Install that, and you should be good to go.
Done! You now have a fully working soft phone!

bongostl said:
Hope this is useful to others...
Flash this in recovery, and it will enable "voice capable" in your framework-res.apk, which will allow you to use google voice callback.
In addition, it will allow you to configure a sip set up using the native implementation (you will need to change your dpi to 320 for it to show up, but you can switch it back afterwards)
Hope this helps!
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B4nxPgKYHIDjanlYaWM3TTFleDg
(same as the file attached)
Note: this was based on the framework-res.apk from the AOKP nightly from 8/15. Flash at your own risk. If it does work for you on another ROM, please post here and let us know! If it fails and your tablet won't boot, just flash another copy of your ROM and it will fix the change)

i use grove ip and it works quite well. It connects thru google voice. the dialer is very similar to native dialer and can be set as the devices defalt phone voice video and test .
Not that i use it much my phone is always with me. Its just another cool app for a nice gadget

Will this allow incoming/outgoing calls thru Google voice?

- This doesn't work on Team EOS's AOSP nightly (8/10)
- Manually modifiying the framework-res.apk doesn't work either

Groove IP is free and makes doing this simple. It also allows for bluetooth headset to answer calls. Really should try it as a solution before editing files IMO.

Thanks for the zip. I was love until I found out I could no longer receive calls. I did a factory reset and I can receive calls once again now that I'm back on grooveip. Are you having any problems receiving calls? If not can you share you're setup

i'm guessing this is pc only?

I posted this at wpcentral please help

I have tons of questions about my new Nokia Lumia 822 and Windows phone 8.....
1. Is there a good video chat app like facetime ( iphone ) or google talk....i have a 7 month old I love see while I'm at work.
2. When I create a new text message and I type the first letter of someone's name it only pulls up some people and not all. Example: J for John and I get jenn or Joe bit not John. When I type John I get noting...also when I type k
for Katie nothing shows up....as for the phone app is there a way or option that when I type the # corresponding with their. First name it pulls them up example 6 for m

At least in WP7 you could scroll in the suggestion list to see the additional entries. Perhaps they are just not visible because there are too many hits. There is no smart dialing in the stock dialer but there are Apps that support it (altough those are a little awkward to use as well).
For Video chat I would suggest you use the one that works everywhere: Skype.

Thanks for the help...i have Skype dl however I don't see anywhere it says video chat....why would it not pull up names in k if I only have one?

I had the same issue until I realized I didn;t have their phone number stored as a mobile. It was work or home and the Messaging app only pulls up numbers stored as mobile.
You can find the people under the + sign, or you can change the peoples number to mobile and it will fix the issue for good.

The quickest way to call some one by name is go to people and type name

I got Skype to work on WiFi but not lte...i don't know if its my wife's crap iPhone 4 or if windows can't handle Skype on lte....i wish windows and android could come up with a video chat that works as well as face time and as easy to use...you would think by now they would have...skype is ok its just blurred.
