I remember when i had the T-Mobile DASH, I bought an app called SNIPER. What it pretty much did is detect all bluetooth's in the area where i was located and i was able to send messages with a hidden name to all the people that had there bluetooth on. Any chances of an app like that making its way to the android? or is the andriod still at a young stage for app like that to be coming out? im not saying it will be posted in the "MARKET" but i wonder if someone will ever make it and post it on sites like this or other sites? can i get some feedback on this?
Anyone? Does anyone know of what app I'm talking about? 200 something views and no feerd back?
341 views and yet anyone has to comment on this idea for an app? why is this? are you guys scared to comment? did i break the forms rules? (i hope i didn't) has no one ever used the app called SNIPER on there T-Mobile Dash? come on people i need feedback.

I remember that app. I'm sure something along those lines will eventually be created.

OMG!!!! someone knows what im talking about!!!!
Just like the other 300+ views. I'm viewing this post, however I will reply. Most people "Do Not" reply because they do not have anything to offer not because they don't want to, maybe its because they don't know.
why did you use that app? just to mess around with people?
doesn’t bluetooth need a pairing code to connect devices?
I used to use a app like that on my S60 phone, But you see as I remember it, the other person still had to accept that you were requesting a connection. Which that being said, I doubt many people really WANT to go bluetooth apps. I mean after that Virus thing.. would you trust someone sending you something?
I had sniper on my n95. For anybody that hasn`t heard of it, its a bluejacking application.
What we need is an app that can send a note via bluetooth.
I was hoping since BlueX was released a bluejacking program may be out soon.
oh BTW I notice Bluex`s next update may include a ftp browser over bluetooth. That would be great, means you could hack phones in a similar method to a samsung
I don't think the Android SDK even provides Bluetooth libraries yet.
On the Iphone there is an app that allows you to see other iphone users in your area and chat with them is there such an app on android ?
Stephen Fry had it on his iphone when he was on topgear a few months back. I am looking for something similar but not focused on a particualr sex.

There's one thats called gfinder or something similar. I'll try and find the exact name unless someone else can chime in.
When I first went into the t-mobile store to check out the g1, they showed me something similiar to what you are asking but the downfall was that other g1 users had to opt in to use it. For some reason I thought it was part of the original cupcake software
Now that I checked, it is right in google maps, called latitude
latitude
Does latitude have general people on it or do you have to add friends before you can use it ???
It's friends only.

You have to add friends but the gfinder or gfindster just see's everyone, but of course they would have to have the app installed. I used it a long time ago and didn't think much of it. While looking that up I saw another app called loopt that looks like the same thing, I could be wrong tho.
Latitude works for everybody. Not just G1 users. It uses your Gmail account to send request to other people who have to accept you and allow you to see where they are at and chat and stuff. Works nicely, but you have to know their e-mail address to get them added.
So, no you can not find random people with G1's to connect with. I don't know if there is an app that will allow that, but Latitude will not.
I believe you have to opt in to use it, general people on there and since it requires your gps to use, I don't think that you will find any one using except for the most basic users that are unaware that turning off the gps saves you some serious battery life
Aight I just looked it up and its call GFindster PREMIUM but they also have a lite version.
Hmmm, seems like the salesman at t-mobile gave me the wrong info then but since I never used it, I was baseing my info on inacurate info, sorry

No your right cause they was pushing the whole latitude thing. But GFindster is just a seperate app that looks up anyone without having them listed as friends.
thankyou
Thankyou you all for your help I will check out the gfindster app and see how it goes.
you should also check out buddymob
shows where all users are on a map around you and you can click on their little dot (pink for women, blue for guys) and it will show you their profile without having to be their friend
I have been asked to find a messaging app that will allow you to view all accounts in the same inbox. If you have used a blackberry this is where the request comes from. Just an app that combines sms,mms, email under a master inbox instead of going to each account to check and read.
Anyone seen an app like this?

I haven't tried it, but there is a free give away for Flexmail, which is an older program. I can't tell from the screen shots if it may do what you want.

My understanding is that you can only get WM7 (I assume that is what you mean) apps directly from the MS App Store for WM7 devices. But I don't have WM7 (and don't want it), so I'm not positive.

First off, It's WP7(Windows Phone 7). Second, The person asked about a WP7 app in the WP7 themes and Apps thread and your responding with an old WM app. If you want nothing to do with WP7 that's your choice, but don't troll the WP7 threads with BS. You're a Senior Member, act like it.

Yup, I clicked on this forum by accident and didn't realize it was WP7. And no, I don't particularly prefer WP7 - so I generally stay out of here! I don't have time to "troll" threads in which I don't have an interest.
Thanks for the update on the naming...
EDIT: Having thought about it a bit, I'm wondering why you thought it was anything other than an attempt to help someone. I don't see that your response (to which I had to respond) have added anything other than words to this topic. I generally ignore any posts that I don't think are relevant for this very reason. It has been my experience that if a person is really a troll they will simply feed off your comment, and if not, they will be offended.

So you ignored the writing on the first link you clicked, Ignored the writing on the second link you clicked. Then you ignored the writing on the final link leading to this page? Yeah. Ok. Only Homer Simpson does that. lol It was an attempt to help someone, but totally misguided. After the op told you he was looking for a WP7 app, you shouldn't have typed anything else. I may be confused, but it seemed as if you were trolling if I use your logic as well.
To the op: there isn't anything for that app-wise yet, but I think you could create a new gmail account and combine all the other emails accounts into that gmail for the same purpose output. Hope this helps and good luck.

I don't think gmail nor any other web based mail allows you to setup access to other web based mail accounts. Desktop Outlook...but not web-based email.
I'm a tech at a store front sprint location. I've seen other accounts merged with gmail before. I haven't done it personally, but when assisting customer's with their accounts I've seen the option.
Somebody I don't know said a bunch of crap about me publically on Google+, and tagged me in the posts. I know I can't untag myself from them, but unless they actually visit this guy's page, will followers of me on Google+ see these tagged posts?
It depends on who he posted them to. You can select to make anything you post totally public. Post a link and I'll see if I can see it for you.
Other than that, Google must surely give you a way of untagging yourself for this very reason. Get in touch with them and ask the question.
The post was totally public, and he has no connection to me through anyone following me.

Well, I have another Gmail account and I made a Google+ account there, followed myself with the original account, and the other account. I don't see that post on the new account following the one with the tagged posts. So I should be good, right?
It sounds like it. TBH, I doubt many people can say for sure as Google+ is so different to the Facebook that we're used to.
I think you've done the best thing you can to test it.

K good. So nobody else can see it unless they go to the guy's page. Which wouldn't happen because he lives 4000 miles away and has no connection to me. But there HAS to be a way to untag myself, but I've been looking for hours on this and all I'm seeing is untagging pics.

Like I said earlier, the only thing I can think of is to ask Google. You can't be the 1st person that's needed to do this.
They don't really have a support email I can contact for this type of thing. I sent feedback and posted something on their forums. I'm just worried about somebody seeing this crap. I muted the post, that's about as far as I can go.
But, you said you didn't see anything...

I know it's probably a longshot, but you could try asking the guy to remove it. If he does then great. If he doesn't then you're no different than you are now.

Every time I visit another website, and then come back to XDA (yes I do close out that window before coming back to XDA), I see an advertisement for that website on XDA ? (or should I say, products advertised on that website)
Well, not every time, but .................
Happens to me too... I see mostly photo lens ads xD

I am pretty sure that will happen on any side you visit...thats how add revenue is so popular
Is there a setting you can adjust under Internet options to minimize this ?
Also, according to "Hotmail," if you close out the previous web-page, that's supposed to prevent this.
There is a way indeed... It's called ad-block and cookies clear on browser exit

OK, I just made a post in the off topic photo thread about the Panasonic Lumix ZR3, and now I'm seeing ads for the ZR3 on XDA!!!!
I've read an entire book on XP pro from cover to cover, owned 6 laptops, understand the in's and out's of converting and burning video's/CD's.
But would somebody please explain to me what's going on here ? And/or refer me to some appropriate tutorials.
Thank you

Ah ha, the tip of the iceberg.............
Yup, XDA hasn't invented some awesome method, it's just the standard ad technology from the provider (doubleclick or dart iirc)
There's an opt-out on the ad network's site, to disable the tracking.
Is it a perk of being a recognised dev that I never see ads? I recently saw the site when I wasn't logged in and was like whaaaaaa?

It is. I thought that you would have had to actually go in and enable it yourself but maybe they do it for you automatically. To answer your question though, Yes.
But shhhhh..... That might be a secret

I need to know which adverts it is you're seeing that are using this...
If you hover over them, try and get the domain name of it. If it's a google/doubleclick one, head to http://www.google.co.uk/privacy/ads/ for information about this. That's the google UK link, but there will be a suitable one for your region too (and I think it's a generic thing anyway)
Arent they called ad sense or something like that?
