I have an AT&T Fuze and I have been looking any and everywhere for an APP that allows the contacts to create a email group distribution list. They have the groupSMS app to create groups for text messaging but no luck finding one free or purchased for an group email distribution list which I really need. Does anyone know if this is possible or if any app exists like that and if so where?
Did you find anything?

I believe there is a program called Essential Contax Professional that would do what you're looking for. It's not a free program though, but you can download the trial to see if it is what your are needing.

Well that program says it works, but the demo doesnt let you try out the mass email or distribution list email with demo...thanks though...
I cant believe with all the different apps people create that no one has created an app that gives the ability to create an email distribution list and I did see that Essential Contax PRO app but like you said the demo wont even allow you to try out the group email distibution list which makes you wonder how confident they are in their product rather than giving a full 7 or 14 day trial to try all the features and see if you like it.

SyncSMS lets you sync your text messages between your Android phone and tablet. SyncSMS lets you sync your text messages between your Android 2.1+ phone and 3G or WiFi-only Android 2.1+ tablet. This app lets you receive text messages on your tablet which have been received by or sent from your phone. Also, this app lets you compose text messages on your tablet which will be copied to your phone and sent out by your phone. You will need to sign up for a free Dropbox account, if you don't already have one, in order to temporarily store the messages between syncs.
Please rate and comment on the app in the Android Market and click Submit to Portal in the upper right of this post to vote this thread to XDA front page, thanks!

How do we know you are not capturing our DropBox credentials? This looks suspicious.
nevermind about the logcat, the issue is that I need a production API key from Dropbox. i agree on your suspicion, so i have posted the app's source code to instill confidence. please know that this app is not distributable or modifiable though. thanks!

Prove that your app is safe to install and immediately asks for Dropbox credentials and fails.
i have posted source code to my app which clearly shows that i use the dropbox api which requires username and password for the first login, then returns an access token per user which is the only thing that is saved to the local databases see LoginTask.java and Utils.java.
the 403 error stands for unauthenticated user. this is due to my app's dropbox api token being only validated for my email address. the app will work as described after i replace my api token with a production api token.
i do not deserve to be banned at all

Maybe not but you cannot release an app that does not demonstrate that you are not phishing username/password info which your initial release does not prove.
you know, honest mistakes do /actually/ happen in the world. plus, it's not my fault that Dropbox chooses not to allow OAuth for android apps. i never /wanted/ to have to have a user enter username/password in the context of my app for exactly this reason

Yes they do and when you have a secure way to access the app, please let us know. Until then, I am not touching it and recommend that no one else touches it either.
They do not allow OAuth access forwarding from their webpage per their guidelines. For Android (non mobile-web apps), they say to do so as follows.
From Dropbox dev page:
"Authentication For mobile devices
Mobile authentication is done using a call named token that's in the Mobile API specification section. Token takes a user's username and password and returns a working access token/secret pair to your application that you can use from then on. It's a relatively simple process, but with one caveat: you cannot store the user's password in your application. You can store a username for usability purposes or in case re-authentication is needed. However, there is no reason you should store their password."
Now, I have more than explained myself extremely detailed and clearly, so please go elsewhere with your false proclamations and ignorance.

You expect people to willingly enter their username and password for Dropbox in your app that returns an error of forbidden?
jeez lets just see how this app pans out. Its a good idea and I know that the op has put out other good ideas out before.
Ill keep an eye on this thread. Thanks
instead of crying about it couldnt you just make another dropbox account for this
don't use the same password you do for everything else
problem solved. case closed. stealing your passwords or not, be smart and just make another dropbox account.
btw, i get my xoom soon so ill def. be looking into this app. sounds interesting
It seems to me that posting the source is all he needs to do here, if someone wants to challenge him based on what it contains, that's a different story.
There are tons of legit apps that use Gmail and facebook credentials. Just hooking into 3rd parties doesn't automatically make one a crook.
If you are going to smear someone, at least make the effort to show some evidence, jeez.

You are right and I am sorry for being a prick. But be careful with apps like these especially if they fail on step 1, sign into an account that fails immediately (dropbox). After thinking about this further, I should not have posted what I did and I apologize. It is not my responsibility for others security.
OP, thanks very much for your effort with this, I NEED SMS on my Xoom!!
Possible suggestion.. Maybe making a widget to turn on the syncing? That way when I am using the Xoom, just flip the widget on for both phone and xoom, set phone aside.. This way the time frame for syncing can be quicker, and when I am done on my xoom, turn the widget off, and it wont sync anymore (for the sake of battery usage).
Does anyone know if WP8 will be able to send a PDF document? Is my current inability to do this on Mango a shortcoming of the OS, or is this Adobe’s problem? Can iPhone or Android do this?
Thanks!

Send in which way? Usually a WP app will give you the possibility to share a document or to send a message / email....Can you give us more details?
Sure.
Send via Email. Or via any method. Is there a way to Email a PDF file?

Unfortunatelly this is a big fault of WP and/or Adobe... as it is not possible to send via Email a pdf....but there are some workarounds :
1: You can upload your email/file to skydrive and, through the official skydrive app you can share the link to the file
or
2: you could use Handyscam official app to share a pdf from your phone

Thanks for the good suggestions for work-arounds on this issue. I have and occasionally use Handyscan.
My wife, an iPhone user, is able to do this, which is important in her work.
There is almost nothing that can be said when someone asks what another platform can do that WP can’t, but this one is a clean kill and it frustrates me.
My question is: Will they fix this in WP8? Is anyone addressing this?
Thanks!
It seems that WP8 will feature the possibility for Apps to share files with each other (as found in the leaked SDK). This should also enable attaching files to E-Mails but we will have to wait an see wether Adobe implements that feature into their Acrobat Reader. This is not possible with WP7.x though.
So the official SDK is released! But the app list doesn't seem to come from: https://clients3.google.com/cast/chromecast/device/config anymore.
I've looked around some and there doesn't seem to be any documentation of how the new configs are being retrieved and even how the serial information from the chromecast is being transmitted either. I know it's definitely not the old config URL anymore because that doesn't list new apps like AllCast which works on my chromecast perfectly fine. Anyone know how the new app list is constructed?

Are you rooted or stock?
If you're rooted, probably you are using the Team Eureka whitelist which is the Google whitelist + Team Eureka.
You can go into the web panel and switch to the Google whitelist if you want to test.

So I'm using stock but the reason why I'm interested is that I'm the author of a chromecast receiver emulator with the goal of allowing any device that can run desktop chrome can run this app and be a chromecast receiver. However, the method by which a chromecast builds its app list isn't as simple as querying https://clients3.google.com/cast/chromecast/device/config since that doesn't contain all the apps that are available on the device and I've never found any documentation about how the serial of the device is transmitted

Which app corresponds to AllCast by Koushik Dutta? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.cast
Also the homescreen app in that url points to: https://clients3.google.com/cast/chromecast/home?chs=1

Well the Homescreen stuff is built into the ROM I'm pretty sure.
As for AllCast are we sure he is using a Player App that gets loaded to the CCast or is he merely sending a link to directly connect to the unit running Allcast?
Koush would be the best one to answer that.

If I were you I'd go for:
android SDK sources
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qsw9Ogb6t4Y#t=92
https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/sender_apps
https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/receiver_apps
https://developers.google.com/cast/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/cast/package-summary
and then is not satisfied contact Team-Eureka [email protected]
Eventually:
Reverse android apk code of allcast(this tool is widely discussed on xda):
https://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/
Look at posted sourcecode:
https://github.com/googlecast/
https://code.google.com/p/chromecast-mirrored-source/
https://github.com/team-eureka/
Also if you are really bored you can sniff communication between Chromecast and any app for instance AllCast with wireshark on linux distro.
So I talked to one of the Team Eureka members and he gave me some very useful information.
The current URL for looking up available apps is this:
https://clients3.google.com/cast/chromecast/device/baseconfig
The response is the same format s the old URL except this one has an extra field in it called "enabled_app_ids". This is a list of IDs that the chromecast device should show as existing. Once the app is requested to load, the metadata for the app is loaded from:
https://clients3.google.com/cast/chromecast/device/app?a={appid}
where {appid} is the id of the app.
It seems google opted for this to increase the number of apps that can be loaded into the manifest before they reach the limit

I just kinda winged that. Maybe not complete. I'm not seeing BubbleUPnP or RemoteCast or RealPlayer Cloud or Allcast and maybe a few others. Or if they're there, I'm blind and what else is new.

Dear All,
I am a bit stuck. How can I start a custom receiver via http? I tried sending a GET to /apps/1234ABCD (with the code I get on the developer console) but I constantly get 404.
The same code works via ios/android/chrome sdk, but unfortunately I have to use this outside of the ios/android/chrome world...
I did not have success with Wiresharking the network traffic using the chrome sdk, the app id seems to be not trivially stored in the requests.
Any ideas?
Thank You!
The old V1 app ids like youtube, netflix, etc can be launched with a POST but that doesn't work for the new V2 app ids.
I would like to know how to launch the V2 apps as well (as I have my own). From Wireshark, it looks like it might be related to SSL traffic on port 8009 to the Chromecast, but I have not been able to figure out what to send it.

Wow, that was a pain to get installed. But it was worth it. Now I can launch my app from the command line or my webserver without have to start it from an android app or a special chrome plugin. Thanks!
When I have a few hours I need to trace through it and see what it does that required so many other npm installs.
