[DISCUSSION] Bluetooth PAN-NAP pairable mobiles - Nexus 7 General

Not all cell phones can share their mobile data over Bluetooth with Nexus 7. I want to set up a list of supported phones. One thing is for sure, the phone must have BT-PAN profile as BT-DUN doesn't work by default. Even if Bluetooth internet sharing can be enabled by some third-party app, not all app will see the active internet connection. So here goes the list, with expected expansion from the contribution of other members:
* Sony Ericsson K790i
* Every Android Phone on ICS or better by default, or with third party apps if on older versions (courtesy: khaytsus)
* Nokia Asha 302 (courtesy: vnrksandeep)
* Nokia C2-01 (courtesy: roadrunner1)
* .......

Every Android Phone on ICS or better by default, or with third party apps if on older versions.

Nokia asha 302 will also support Bluetooth tethering

....it works with the Nokia c2-01 (....a cheap device...!) ...it is not very fast-but it works out-of-the-box via bluetooth!

Call Recorder in Android ???

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2117
I know in some Contry its Illegal to Record Call but its not True for every
Country
I am Marketing Executive and drive a lot and in the middle of road i
receive to much call for reporting and rates feed for the Market, i have no
option other then using Nokia Symbinan Based Automatic Call Recording
software and at the end of the day i listen and write down every thing in
my PC for further Action .
I know its Possible through Android to Automatically Record Phone calls or
Atleast a API Support for Developers in SDK to do so.
Unless untill Call Recording don't come in Android all my Top tier Marketing
Team can not use Android At all.
I think Google Should seriously think about API Support in SDK to Support
Call Recording so my Situation can be Handled easily.

Nop. It can record your audio, but not the callers:
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/c2bc85eb60ae2aa5?pli=1
Apps that can record what you are saying: ringdroid and droidrecord. I have the same problem though. Hope they make it possible in FW 1.5.
Yeah +1
Every other phone I've had could do it and I do miss the ability to record and save phone conversations, especially when arguing with warranty returns/call centres.

News?
Somebody know if there're changes about newer android versions? Do Call Recording work now?
There is a new application in Andorid Market called AllCallRecorder. I think it would
help you
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.jp-eguchi-android-callrecording-wzin.aspx works pretty well. Voice from the other end is a little quiet, but I haven't had problems.
Two ways call recording is depending upon hardware construction same like wm and symbian. For example if wm, Asus and Samsung can but HTC cannot, whereas if in symbian case, Nokia can but Samsung cannot. This conclusion comes from my long experience with the aforementioned mobile phones. Have not tested with Garmin Asus android yet as it is not available in my market but believe this one can as Asus make it and assumably using the same hardware design for phone circuit.
We've confirmed that our Total Recall call recorder app for Android is running (ie, recording audio from both the device and the caller audio) on the following devices:
- Acer Liquid 100
- Droid Eris
- G1
- General Mobile DSTL1
- HTC Evo
- HTC Dream
- HTC Hero
- HTC Magic
- HTC Tattoo
- MyTouch
- Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 / Mini
Now, these have been confirmed either through internal tests on our own handsets or via user feedback, which means there's some variables, including OS version, among other things, so actual results on the same hardware may vary, but it's a good start anyways.
We've received feedback from a couple Moto Droid/Milestone users that it was also recording fine (just not showing the clip via our app, but it was available in the SD card), however on our own Droid running 2.1 (and previously 1.6) we never saw it successfully record a call.
Keep in mind the list above is for our own app, which has required about 20 updates to resolve various device specific issues either with recording, storing or showing audio files in the app, over the past few months, so other recorders may or may not actually work for you.
Anyone interested in giving it a go can download it from our website killermobile (dot)com. If you do run into any issues, PM me for a special debug version so we can see if we can get it running on your particular device. If you read this in the next couple days, and you use an EVO or Desire, also PM me for a special version that includes a fix specifically for these devices (official release will come after a bit more testing). We're definitely keen to add to our list of supported devices and will keep updating this thread accordingly.
Cheers!

Total recall works on a HTC tattoo
Had to import it to my country
works like a charm
would like something to work on ver 2.0+ android though
Tattoo runs on 1.6 android
Just shows you that it did work and then Google F**** it up.
Nice to know that Total recall works on some phones.
But how well does it really work?.
I always use hands free. Would any of the short listed phones be able to seamless record the other party sound while using a handsfree set?
Thanks
Total Recall works like a charm on Tattoo
I make it pop up afterwords to add caller details and what call was about to the name
I record in mp4 format and found a free mp4 reader to read files
Been using it for 3 months
Worth the money a few dollars
sorry didnt see hands free part
Dont do hands free so cant answer that
Dont like bluetooth radio devices nect to my head

Now we have bunch of app which will get your calls recorded
just check with laws in your state
Check out these free/trial apps :
Record My Call
RecordCall
Total recall call recorder TRIAL 14 days
All Call recorder
AndRecorder
Call recorder
Call Recorder
Note : File names are taken from Android Market and are placed one per line and will be exact in market so search with same keyword . There is not priority , just check out and use the one you like
PAID apps are also available but you will have to shell some $
out of all these only total recall appears to work and then only on some fones and on version 1.6
2.2 seems curtailed by goole on the voice streams ???
As far as I know it's not an Android issue.
The audio is handled by kernel on /dev.
The problem is really simple here: HTC's last kernels DON'T support this.
It's not an hardware problem, the audio from dmesg is there.
When you attach a bluetooth handset the waveform is sent to (and received from) the paired device.
Someone with free time could download kernel sources and search where HTC put this limitation..
Moreover.. on some kernels the /dev devices are there (but with different names of those supported by mediarecorder) and a symlink on /dev will suffice.
those are my 2 cents.

Looking for the best free app to track my phone in case of loosing it.

Old original post this one which had no replies. Samsung apps have TekTrak - which sounds as if it should do the job. However you need to log in to the TekTrak web site to compete everything - and surprise - not yet available for Android. So anyone got a good alternative?

my lookout mobile security.
that's my favourite, there is a free and paid app,
you can turn on gps - track it down and wipe / lock device, make the phone scream a loud siren noise which can not be turned off - all from the my lookout website
Also there is an option in the app which stops the app from being un-installed
and finally it also acts as an anti virus - which scans every new app installed, and allows you to backup your sms / contacts
i highly recommend this app - the free version gives you all of the above

Actually it is available for Samsung through SamsungApps. I just downloaded it and completed the registration through the app. Works great for me. Really good app.
I have tried over 20 apps and today found the most amazing tracking and recovery application. It's new and absolutely free. There's only one thing that I'm worried about and that's if the developer will have access in the phones once this gets installed. Look for it on the Market. Name is "Android Lost" by Theis Borg
Features:
* read SMS inbox and sent
* wipe phone
* lock phone
* erase SD card
* locate by GPS or network
* start alarm
* send SMS from web page
* message popup
* forward calls
* remote install
* phone status: battery, imei, etc
* remote SMS alarm
* remote SMS lock and unlock
* start stop GPS
* start stop WIFI
The built in app is the best as it cannot be switched off without a password and it cannot be un-installed. The tracking part is restricted in some countries but the remote lock and wipe is universal. You can set it up from the phone the trick is to press the back button to switch the keyboard off and this reveals the Register button.
Lookout and "Where's My Droid" works great!

LED Flashlight for Revolution

Hi guys,
I've just released Tiny Flashlight v3.9.8, which has full support for LG Revolution.
You can check it here: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.devuni.flashlight
Works good, thanks. Was looking for one that worked on the Revo the day before you posted this.
Works well, thank you.
Thanks doink, I've been waiting for this update. Been using Tiny Flashlight for months on my fascinate and love it.
downloaded last night when i found that tesla flash light would not work... love it...
Why so many permissions for a flashlight app?
NETWORK COMMUNICATION
FULL INTERNET ACCESS
Allows an application to create network sockets.
PHONE CALLS
READ PHONE STATE AND IDENTITY
Allows the application to access the phone features of the device. An application with this permission can determine the phone number and serial number of this phone, whether a call is active, the number that call is connected to and the like.

Did you read the developer's description of the app?? Wait nevermind, I know the answer.
But if the mood strikes you, click on the link in the first post and expand the description.
Quoted from Android Market app description:
"Permissions:
============
Why Tiny Flashlight needs so many permissions and how are they used:
* TAKE PICTURES AND VIDEOS (CAMERA permission)
- In order to start the camera led (flash) on some devices, Tiny Flashlight has to use a small part of the camera hardware and it needs this permission. Don't worry, I'm not taking any pictures or videos without your permission. Tiny Flashlight is just accessing the camera led (flash).
* CONTROL FLASHLIGHT
- This is the old method of accessing the camera flash on Android 1.5 and 1.6.
*** As you know, Tiny Flashlight is free, but also is one of the best supported apps on the Android Market. Currently, this is the only app that supports almost all devices with camera led (flash) and fully supports all versions of Android (1.5, 1.6, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 3.0). This takes huge amounts of time and effort and in order for Tiny Flashlight to remain the best flashlight on the market, I have to use ads inside it.
The following permissions are required by Google's own ad provider (Admob) and Millennial Media (the biggest independent ad network). Both are respected industry leaders.
* INTERNET
- Used to load ad info from their servers. Nothing more.
* MODIFY/DELETE USB STORAGE
- Temporary caches some ads on your SD Card. This is another method used to save bandwidth.
* READ PHONE STATE AND IDENTITY
- Some Motorola devices have factory bugs. These devices don't have unique IDs and this became a problem for ad networks, because they can't function without it. There is a workaround for this problem by using the PHONE IDENTITY permission. This permission is used only for getting a unique id. Nothing more."
Have it and love it! Thank you!

[Q] Wi-Fi Direct and Media share settings

manual mentions nothing about Wi-Fi Direct but i was told that RAZR i supports it. my question: anyone managed to activate it?
tried with a HTC Desire X Wi-Fi Direct turned on in settings but without 3rd party apps. no success, even with Media share enabled in RAZR i settings (which is another feature not mentioned in manual, so any info for that would be also appreciated). thx in advance.
Under ICS you were able to activate WI-DI by running an appropriately programmed NFC command, however, this function seems to have been disabled under JB along with the FM radio.
Media sharing uses DLNA which is a different story, I don't know more about it, but certainly would like to
Sent from my XT890 using xda app-developers app
thx, any further info about this nfc command?
just tried 3rd party wifi direct app called shoot, but the activation setting leads to a dead end (missing widi option in settings/more) so obviously not working.

"Nearby Devices" missing on latest Samsung Devices?

As the title says Samsung has removed Nearby Devices from the Note 9 and probably other devices as well.
I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT "NEARBY DEVICE SCANNING"
I am talking about a setting called Nearby Devices. If enabled I can use any device on my network eg: Laptop, Roku, or Mobile device to see and play media files on the device.
See screenshots for details.
It pretty much does what Bubble UPnP does. But I am not looking for a 3rd party app. I was wondering what happen to the native support/function.
They are pushing SmartThings. That does what you're looking for I believe.
Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
Smart Things seems to work with proprietary Samung devices. If I enable the function on my Note 4 I can see my files on any connected device on my network. I'll try Smart Things again. Maybe I missed something.
