There are those features on your phone that you'll probably never use, and then the ones you'll never want to use. Such is the case with Safety Assistance, an emergency tool that will alert up to four predetermined contacts when you sound the alarm.

Here's how it works: In time of need, you would press the power/lock button three times in quick succession. This action sends a series of text messages with your approximate mapped location, a photo from the front and rear-facing cameras, and a short voice recording.
This isn't to replace a call to 911, 999, 000, or other emergency services. Samsung's lengthy disclaimer also states that, since the tool is based on text messaging, it "may not work accurately, continuously, or error-free" depending on network conditions.
Still, for a little peace of mind, Samsung's twist on ICE, or In Case of Emergency, numbers, is easy to set up. Here's how you do it.

1.) Turn it on
-- Navigate to the Settings menu, then press Quick Settings. Select Safety Assistance from the list of choices, then tap Send help messages, and swipe the toggle to On.

Hop into the settings menu to get started with Safety Assistance.
You'll be asked to read through and sign off on a lengthy terms of service that reminds you that this feature won't summon an ambulance, and that also absolves Samsung of personal liability.
2.) Check the boxes
If you want to scale back on the service to keep from inundating your contact with so many texts, you can uncheck the boxes to deselect sending a recording, and photos from the Galaxy S5's two cameras. In that case, triggering the emergency response would send an SOS text with your location.
3.) Set up your contacts
Back out of the help messages window and tap Manage primary contacts to select your emergency recipients. You can have up to four.
You can have up to four contacts on your list. You'll see a notification that the GS5 has sent your SOS.
It isn't a good idea to include emergency services here, since most government agencies won't accept texts, or even know who you are in the first place. (This is changing in some places in the US, but isn't widespread by far.)
4.) Test it out
It's worth letting your contacts know that you've added them. I'd also recommend a dry-run test so both sides understand what to expect in the event of the real deal -- may it never occur.
Your recipient sees a series of texts, including a short voice recording, and a map with your coordinates

ok guys, im sure many of u are annoyed by the fact that google voice (official) refreshes every 5 minutes! so that mean you have to wait 5 minutes to get your SMS and that is just stupid. i heard many of you use GV by eric (i think thats his name) and actually stopped working on his app but the cool thing is that he has notification setup for every 1 minute! thats cool, but lame at the same time because you have to use two apps to get a notification. well i just found the app to solve our problems!
Its called GVXMPP and you can get it here!

Basically it uses the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) to literally PUSH your SMS to you! no more waiting for you SMS to come through. for me, being on tmobile, i canceled my texting plan and i just use google voice to send a SMS and I thought i would just have to deal with the whole 5 min notification.
Its really easy to setup and use. Its involves forwarding your SMS to a specific email address (be it your GVXMPP username) and when you open the app, you can see them there. Of course, you could just push them to your regular email address but this is nice because it groups it all under each senders name and you can have an ongoing conversation.
The problems:
This app is in ALPHA stage. It doesnt look pretty and it has some issues. This is the email that I sent them about their app:
-notification bar doesn't clear when u click on on the sms.
-connection randomly disconnects even if the app is running. Takes a couple secs to reload.
-msg from friend was displayed twice. First one didn't come through cuz it was disconnected. After reconnection (after i sent a msg) I got two of the same sms from them.
-when you open an sms from the notification panel, when u hit back it doesn't take u back to the app homescreen (where it displays the sms senders) it just shows you the last person u spoke with and the last message (it removes the newer message or doesn't update) hitting back should take u to the app home menu.
-when u text in landscape mode the text just keep scrolling horizontally as you type. Doesn't jump to the next line like normal.
-(not a bug) ugly ui, can't generate new sms, no picture of sender, not sure why it displays the long ID under the senders name, needs to be integrated with the Google voice app but I doubt that's something you can control. Just so its easier to like place a call or see contact info.

and their response was:
1. Notification Bar doesn't clear - this has been fixed and will be released to the market tonight.
2. Connection Randomly Disconnects - We are continuing to work on this, and so far it's been getting better.
3. Message Displayed Twice - Known issue, working on a fix.
4. Back / Navigation Issues - Noted, will put it on the list of things to fix.
5. Landscape Mode - What kind of phone do you have?

When you get a message, it will pop up in the notification panel. (see below for a screenshot). Okay guys, so try it out. It works for me, yes some hiccups, but they are suppose to release an update tonight! let me know what you think, hit me up on Twitter

Bricks were shat.
*Searches on Market for it*
Iman07,
Thanks for your awesome write-up!
Indeed the app is "alpha", but over the past week I've been able to make huge strides in improving it, and am going to try my best to stick to making new releases whenever possible to squash bugs and add functionality.
Another cool thing to point out, you can sign in to your GVXMPP account with any XMPP client, such as Pidgin or Adium. This will allow you to get your SMS messages in the same push format on your desktop/laptop. Additionally, we do not require your Google username or password to make this service work, unlike other solutions.
There will be an update hitting the market shortly which will include:
- Contact Sorting - Contacts will be sorted alphabetically.
- Notification Bug - Notifications will now be properly cleared.
- Double Message - Messages were being appended to the conversation list even if they were already displayed, this should no longer happen.
- Performance - A few small performance increases that should cut down on memory usage.
Some things we have planned for the near future:
- Contact Photo integration.
- Better contacts integration (initiate calls from chats, etc).
- Better unread message indicators on the contact list.
- Overall UI improvements, including conversation themes.
If you would like to stay up to date, follow @gvxmpp on Twitter, or feel free to post bugs/suggestions to this thread.
As previously stated, GVXMPP is free and I intend to keep it that way.

after 5 min only 5 contacts with alphabet A are sync ... no more that that ...
Ok, maybe is this... When you only type "a" it will only list names starting with "a". If you type "ab" or more, then it will show all having "ab" at any part of the name. Its done for better performance.
But 5 minutes its a lot. How many contacts you have? linked to which accounts?
hi, interesting app, but on my LG Optimus 7 with mango, the app just hangs during the sync process, after 10 minutes i just hit the cancel, the app only managed to get around 10-15 contacts with the letter A

Debug XAP
Thanks all for taking the time, you will get a free license when fixed and ready.
I have uploaded a debug XAP here with error detection enabled:
http://jdb.userecho.com/topic/59720-7dialer-problem-syncing-contacts/
Once an error, it will launch an email form with the error message, but it would be better if you could manage to copy and paste it on the thread above(or here).

The app certainly looks promissing. Couple of glitches/inconsistencies that I noticed.
You can't add second number of a contact to the quick dial section if it already contains another number of this contact.
You can't exit the app with back button if you have on-screen qwerty keyboard opened. You can by pushing windows button, otherwise you need to switch to numeric keypad first.
Opened contact doesn't always have all the numbers/email addresses listed. It looks as if max 4 lines can be displayed within contact (no scroll).
The keypress sounds included, albeit interesting, are not very business like. Perhaps regulard "tap" sound should be there as well (like the one stock keyboard has).
Perhaps there should be an option to only display contacts with phone numbers.
And perhaps an option to not display contact pictures. I'm not sure if this would increase app/search speed but would certainly give more space for displaying numbers & email addresses when the contact is opened (without need to scroll).
Are you planning to have search for some other (non-latin) alphabets enabled at some point pckshd? I'd purchase the app should it support search by Cyrillic letters.
@rubbish, thanks, yes some functionality is limited and will come through version updates.
Btw to add a different number to People wall you first need to remove the old one (while on the edit screen, click on it to remove).
Other characters will be added once we have localization with help of translators.
I have uploaded 2.0.0.1 with some fixes:
Fixed back navigation when using abc pad
Added standard 'tap' sound
Fixed menu bar hidden after changing wall layout
Fixed some contacts getting lost when changing to a layout with fewer slots
I can't sync contacts
works just fine .... really like the dialer
i found out the live tiles not working after a while ... if put more than 2 tiles in my case
smart dialing allows you to look for letters in the contact name,,,,can it allow you to look for numbers too (example: if i click 010 it would pull all contacts that have 010 in start or middle of their phone number)?
also i can not get live tile to work...after i add "people" and change the settings it creates a tile with contact photos but its not moving, flipping..etc
thanks
Hi, it does search by phone number but only for numbers starting with the search pattern. But looks like there is a current problem with the ones starting with zero.
About the live tile, we still haven't determined how could animations impact on battery live so for now its static only.
There is another live tile related feature we will be including soon.
Version 2.0.2 improves sync speed a bit and prevent some crashes.
(Updated attachment on initial post or here)
New Version 2.0.2 is working fine no sync issue
working fine in My HD2 Mango 7.5
Name: NickWrite
NickWrite aims to be something like a text editor for WP7. You can write text with it for messages, e-mails or for other apps through use of the clipboard, supported by many features beyond standard WP7 text entry:
It offers multi-level cursor movement by dedicated navigation buttons, undo/redo, auto-save, template-based text creation with variables complete with live tiles pinned to start page, a shortcut-expanding mechanism, and easy selecting of things like phone numbers and URLs within your text.
Also present is a word-autocomplete and word-propose feature that's not based on a general dictionary but on what you wrote earlier with this app. This can lead to a better hit rate and also works if you write in a language that WP7 itself does not support.
The app is free and without ads.
I'm the author of this app and open for new feature suggestions; the new landscape support of version 1.1 was already the result of user feedback.

wow your app is awesome...but its a bit too far from the meaning of easy to use i mean, it's not designed for the everyday use of the phone only for serious people
I see two text when creating a new message. One is Send to which is usually blank and second is Code. Can you explain both of them.

Send to: is just a label / legend, a title for up to 3 recipients of the message that will appear below this text, if there are any. If you work with templates, you can specify up to 3 possible recipients together with the template, and if you use such a template to create a message, you can choose among them with checkboxes.
If you don't work with templates, there can't be any such recipients, and you use the standard mechanism of choosing recipients after handing over the text to WP7.
Code: If you write, NickWrite shows the UNICODE value of the character that is to the right of the cursor at any given moment, to the left of this "Code" legend. Handy if you copied text from somewhere and are not sure what's that character.
I think I see a way to improve the app in a next version: Only showing things like those two legends when they apply (when there are recipients / when there is a character to show the code of), otherwise they might be confusing.
Thanks,
I tried the template and understand how it works but here is the second confusion.
In case when a template has both email and phone number pedefined, If I select both using checkboxes, Both Message and Mail button gets disabled. This means I can either use numbers or emails and then choose appropriate action.
My suggestion will be to create a automated process where I can simply hit send and it sends first the SMS to all the numbers and then again for emails in the second step.
In case I am not clear let me know.

Maybe you came to a wrong conclusion from a small number of tries. The logic behind this all is like that:
Checkboxes for up to 3 recipients, and phone number and/or e-mail address for each of them.
If all checked recipients have a phone number, you can message. If all checked recipients have an e-mail address, you can e-mail. Or the other way round: As soon as you check the first recipient without a phone number, you can't message anymore; as soon as you check the first recipient without an e-mail address, you can't mail anymore.
If all the recipients you want to use have both number and e-mail address, you can message to all of them first, use the "Back" button to return to NickWrite and then mail them as well - fairly easy, but I am not sure I understand why you would like to do that?
Anyway. it's an age-old GUI problem with grayed / inactive controls: They won't tell you why something should not be possible at the given moment...
My suggestion will be to create a automated process where I can simply hit send and it sends first the SMS to all the numbers and then again for emails in the second step.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I think I understand this idea, but I don't have a good idea right now what should happen for recipients with both phone number and e-mail address specified.
New version 1.2
Just edited the opening post of this thread to reflect the new version 1.2 of NickWrite that I can announce somewhat belatedly.
This version offers something that I haven't seen in any other WP7 app so far: You can move the cursor with dedicated navigation buttons. That's something like the Home, End, Cursor Up/Down etc. group of keys on a real keyboard.
(I wanted to do this right from version 1.0 but did not find a way to implement it. Fellow programmers may be aware that the Silverlight / WP7 TextBox control does not offer any obvious way to move the cursor line-wise.)
Especially by using Page Up and Page Down on the Overview page navigating longer texts has become much easier.
Furthermore there is support for live tiles: You can pin individual templates to the Start Page. You can configure such a tile to start NickWrite in edit mode for the template, or to directly go to the WP7 message send or mail send pages. With recipients defined you can send something with only 2 taps - one on the tile and one on the "Send" button.
I will soon complete the app's web page at www.nickwrite.com with a detailed change log and add more feature descriptions.
How Tasker Can Make You More Productive
Have you taken a look at Tasker and thought "Eh this isn't for me.." Well if so then that would make you a liar. Tasker is for anyone and everyone that wants to improve the way that they use their Android device. First thing you should know is that most of those mods you flash to get special features like Tap2Wake, Active Display, Silent mode when faced down and others are all possible with Tasker. You don't even need to root your device! So right there you're saving time and happiness. Let's take a look at all of the best ways that Tasker can make you more productive like a business man with a briefcase.
Automate SMS
Everyday I have to go pickup my stupid idiot brother from work. Once I'm there I have to fumble around with my phone as I spill hot coffee all over myself so I can text him that I've arrived. Well no more! I can automate an outgoing sms based on my location. So this idea is simple. I set a new profile based on location. I chose the GPS location of where my brother works. The action I attach to that location will be sending an sms to my brothers phone number that says "Here." Now the text will be sent automatically as soon as I pull into the parking lot.

}
The same idea can be applied to locations on the road. So if I'm in route to my meet my brother at his work, I can program a text to be sent that says "I'll be there in 15 minutes" once I reach a specific location.
You can also schedule texts to be sent out based on date and time. Never forget about Mothers Day again and just tell your phone to text your Mom "Happy Mothers Day! I'll never forget about you!" on whatever day Mothers Day is on. Who knows.
Keep Track Of Time
Here's a pretty nifty one that some people are using. You can keep better track of time as it passes, by setting your phone to vibrate every 30 minutes.
Of course you can use this in anyway that you please. Maybe you set it to vibrate every 10 minutes from 8:00am - 9:00am every morning as you get ready for work. It's a simple task that can be used for many different things.
Create context-based voice reminders
Well here is a good idea. You can set voice reminders based on the time and date. At the end of every month you can have your phone yell at you about paying your bills.
So for a task like this to run, you'd create a new profile where the context is the date and the event is the reminder. This is another simple but very useful task.
Sensor Events
This is my favorite type of task to run. You can assign any type of task to run when it's triggered by a sensor. For example we can tell Tasker to launch Chrome when you shake your device. You can even program how sensitive the shake trigger will be and how long it lasts. But launching an app is just one thing you can do with it. You can also tell it to shut your screen off, send a text, make a call, kill a specific app and all kinds of nice things.
These examples are pretty bare bone but it's just to get you started. Once you get the hang of it, you'll be creating much more elaborate tasks that can do amazing things to help you be a more productive person.
Awesome stuff really like the alarm one
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk
Thank you for profiles.
You can use the "test app" feature in the application task section, and test against the Calendar app to pull data from it. Then you can manipulate this however you want, for example, when I dismiss my alarm my phone reads out my calendar events for the day. I will post a guide later today on how to do this.
I use a couple of profiles for productivity. The first is what I call active mode, which is a user created variable. If I'm in active mode and try to go on non productive apps such as a game or social media my phone tells me I'm in active mode and should do some work before switching back to my launcher home screen. I also have some activity tracking profiles which log when I start and finish something before uploading the information to a Google spread sheet.
Hi everyone,
Does anyone know how to add Last Call at the top of Favorites tab of the default Dialer often seen on other phones:

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
...to the default Marshmallow Dialer on Nexus 6 without changing the dialer app or the launcher?
Thanks in advance!
yea, call that number the most and itll appear there.
You should be able to drag and drop the recent calls to whatever location you want them to be in on the stock dialer.
Whatever i do, the last call dialed never appears at the top of the favorites tab, and i cannot drag and drop anything from call history.
I have to swipe to the Call History tab to call someone if it's not in the favorites, even a missed call. This is extremely annoying, especially coming from a device where the favorites tab looks like in the first picture, not the second. I just don't believe that default Android Dialer is so much worse than on e.g. any Moto X, that's why i'm asking
Maybe there is an option to turn it on somehow? I mean that last call thing in the favorites on the first picture.
I only want people I choose or call often in my favorites list. Just because someone like a telemarketer calls me once, I certainly don't want them added to my favorites list. All you have to do is make one swipe over to the recent call list, so why would you want that behavior?

usually people that call you dont get placed in the favorites list, only people that you call go there.
Guys, I don't mean placing someone to favorites. I meant favorites TAB. Last call section in the top of the favorites tab, just like in the top picture. The bottom one does not have the last call displayed, just like on the Nexus, which I want to fix.
I guess you are aware you can get to recents with one tap anyway. So to my personal taste, it doesn't seem worthwhile or logical to mix recent calls into favorites.
But to answer your question, no, I don't know how to do what you request.
Just compare the two images on the initial post and see what's lacking in the bottom one
Hard to see with the xda app, obviously, though.
It's the call displayed at the top.
Well, i guess i'll either look for a different dialer, which i hate to do, or just sell the Nexus and buy the overall more convenient Moto X when it's on sale
Never thought Google would manage to make a dialer less convenient than it is on an old Lumia, and how much better Motorola knew how to create software for actual phones -_-

Again, all it takes is one tap to get from that favorites screen to your recent call log screen where you can see all your recent calls in reverse chronological order.
On the other hand, having your single recent call at the top of favorites as you request:
doesn' t help if you want to dial the next to last call
takes up space on the favorites screen, which reduces the number of favorites visible on the screen without scrolling
complicates the structure (mixing favorites and recents)...why have two tabs if you're going to mix them
I don't begrudge you the right to have your own preference, just wanted to point out the other side.
