Hello,
The Google Voice users in XDA may know that with the last major change in the Google Voice apk, the team decided to institute a direct-dial facility to make outgoing calls through Google Voice.
History: Prior to this version, all call were routed through standard numbers (202-556-0000) for the Northeast region. The way it worked (for outgoing calls) was that GV would use the internet to inform their engine in the back-end to give a call-back from a fixed phone number. Thus if I added 202-556-0000 number to my (Fav-5) number, then all my outgoing calls would be free.
New Version update: Some say that google decided to sleep with the telcos and started to assign unique numbers to each telephone number in the contact list (at the back-end) so that the GV app can now initiate a call to 'directly' using the unique number without going through the internet call-back process.
Irrespective of principle, Google decided to inconvenience millions of people without an option to disable the direct dial 'feature' which has pissed many people and resulted in very long ranting threads on their help forum. And like all Google products - official support is almost zero.
Solution: To go back to the older technique of dialing - users have uninstalled the latest GV app from the ROM (e.g. using Titanium Backup) and installed the previous version of the apk file.
Current state and request: Google Voice application has seen another major update today where they have introduced the anticipated widgets but still no option to change the direct-dial feature.
Unfortunately, I am not a programmer but I was wondering if there was a way to extract the widget functionality from the new apk and use it in conjunction with the older GV version (without widgets and direct dial) or something to that objective?
Thanks for your help!
I need the Google Voice apk that dialed out to 202-556-0000

Can't sustain on a 400 mins MyFaves plan without that.

Someone posted a DropBox link to 0.3.4 in a similar thread on droidforums.net.
droidforums.net/forum/droid-applications/62483-google-voice-0-4-0-12-no-more-fnf.html#post660251 (I can't post external links yet.)
Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I arrived here via Google and figured there are probably others looking for it also.
Hi, I'm not looking anything Illegal. I hope someone can point me in the right direction. This would just collect time stamps already shown.
I want a time tracking app for FB.
It can be run off a browser. It would goto a selected friends message and according to the time stamp document their FB time.
Example. Already on FB in the message top it states Active Now, Active 7 minutes ago.... It would just check and log according to the preferences.
It would produce a time log. Active from 12:02 am - 3:am Active from 7:01pm-7:05pm.
Is this already out there?

Hi there, I think I understand what you want but not sure it's possible. Facebook only says the last time you were online / active, so it doesn't record the spaces between old posts.
For example, for the following
Bob : Posts a status update a 8:00 am
Bob : Stays online, just reading and looking at other peoples posts
Bob : Posts a status update at 10:00 am
Bob : Goes offline straight after posting the message
Fred : Posts a status update a 8:00 am
Fred : Goes offline straight after posting the message
Fred : Posts a status update a 10:00 am
Fred : Goes offline straight after posting the message
For both users, if you look at their page it will suggest that they were last active at 10:00 am but it won't tell you that Bob was online the whole time since 8:00 am but Fred wasn't. So all you would be able to assume at best is that the person has been online continually ever since their first post was ever made (or that day, but that assumes they weren't on Facebook prior to midnight until past midnight).
Yes you are correct. They could be online.
I only want to know when they are active.
I almost have a macro for PC written to screen shot that area.
OCR it, and save it in note pad with a time stamp.
But I would rather have an app.

Are you wanting this app to work without being visible on screen? Taking a screenshot is the wrong way to go about "screen scraping" the data, you should be getting the raw HTML data and then parsing that to get the information that you want, it would be much more optimal than performing OCR on a screenshot. If you want this app of yours constantly monitoring other users then it would have to work without being visible on screen. I'm new to Android in particular so not sure what class you would need to act as a http client to obtain the data.
But I think you just missed my point, you can't tell how long they have been active. You're making a guess and assuming they haven't gone offline during posts. Just because I posted twice in an hour, doesn't mean I was active on facebook that whole time. All you can tell from the information is,
1. What that have posted and when
2. When they last posted

Another example of downloading a file programatically,
http://wininterview.blogspot.in/2013/04/download-file-in-android-from-remote.html
byte[] buffer would contain the data you want in the downloadFile method, this would be the raw HTML data for the page (what you see when viewing the source for the page in the browser).
Thanks for the links and advice.
I am not a programmer and was only use the tools that knew how to use.
It's running on my pc. But i would prefer an app to do this.
It doesn't have to be hidden. I am using macro mouse to run my work around.
I don't think you are correct about the FB activity. I am following this person and would know if they posted. So apparently they are either messaging or browsing. They are not very popular so I believe it's browsing for the amount of time that they are active.
From the horses mouth so to speak

"When you view your conversations in mobile messages, you'll see how recently your friends interacted with Facebook."
Active 10 minutes ago would mean, they interacted with Facebook 10 minutes ago. It doesn't say how long they have been interacting with Facebook for, so if you want to build up a map of when someone is interacting with Facebook, that is not possible. You may be better asking over on the Facebook developers forum to clarify this or maybe find an alternative way to achieve what you want.

correct so"Active 10 minutes ago" would mean, they physically interacted with Facebook 10 minutes ago. They were not asleep they actually picked up there phone or mouse and physically interacted with facebook.

So I wonder if they are physically interacting with Facebook only every 10 minuets this will always say 10 minutes ago.
when they pause browsing it show be re-starting the counter correct.
so recording the changes in this status depending on Facebooks refresh limit one could document a creepy map of when someone is physically interacting with Facebook.
Update 17 June 2016
For anybody who ever lost their phones.
There's few sufficient phone tracking application for Android that still can work after Factory Reset. If you lose your phone and the picker doesn't want to return it back to you, all he need to do is reset your phone and Android Device Manager will down right after. You may lose your phone forever.
NSA Tracker is an invisible Android Phone Tracking Application that can help you you:
1. Record all your phone calls into audio file
2. listen to your SMS incoming and outgoing
3. Hourly record your device location.
4. All information will be attached and sent to your own email.
My app doesn't have any icon on device screen, opened by USSD code with password protected, so if anyone illegally possess your device, he will certainly not aware that the NSA Tracker was installed and is running. This app doesn't use intermediate server, so you can be free from worrying about privacy. NSA Tracker support Gmail, Yahoo mail, Hotmail and Outlook Mail.
NSA Tracker will need your email address and email password to send email to you. With the above mentioned information that she's listening, there will be a lot of email that will be sent to you everyday. So it's better that you give her a new email account.
I- How to install
Download NSA Tracker from this link below:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bxgc8Lcuu3PWNHFmWlRiemprb2c
II- How to open
For the first-time start up, NSA Tracker will be opened by NSA Helper (app-to-app opening). But from the second time afterwards, you have to open it using USSD code:
*2718*password# -->call (Please be reminded that 2.718 is mathematical constant e)
After the first time, you can remove NSA Helper. don't forget the USSD code above to open NSA Tracker.
III- On Root Device
If your device is rooted with superSU installed, NSA Tracker can install itself (named NSA Service) into /system/app/ folder. If NSA Service is successfully installed, it will be very difficult to uninstall it, even factory reset will not be able to remove it. After Factory Reset, NSA Service still can run immediately without the need of re-configuration and continue send email to you.
V- Why I develop it
As mentioned above, I don't want any of us lose our devices. So this app is expected to be installed on your own device. In some countries or states, phone call recording may be illegal without the permission of one and/or two callers. So you have to make sure by yourself that, call recording is legal in your country. You can turn it off.
VI-Disclaimer
By installing NSA Tracker, you acknowledge that the usage or redistribution of NSA Tracker, herein after referred to as This App, conforms to all applicable laws in your country. This App will be installed only on your own devices. Any behavior that trying to redistributing This App or to install This App on other people's devices, includes but not limited to smart phones, tablets, smart watch... without their prior permission is illicit. You have to bear full liability for that kind of behavior. The developers of This App assume no liability for any kind of law violation regarding to your usage or redistribution of This App.

Hope you enjoy my app and don't do evil things with it.
New update on Version
1. NSA Tracker work more persistent.
2. Update Report form.
3. Fix bug lost email
4. Minor interface update.
New update for XDA member: no limitation on free version for SMS listening and GPS Location report. Link update.
Well, a member inbox me ask about whether it can send phone activities after get Internet Connection. The answer is yes. It will store everything in its own database. When the phone resume internet connection, It will start re-sending email to you. There is only one case that cause my app fails, that is when you make a phone call longer than two hours and the recording file size is larger than 25 Mb. Google Email will not accept that size and NSA Tracker will delete the file without sending it to you.
The reason why I don't use server is that, your very sensitive data if upload onto a server, will face security threat. Without server, i don't have to maintain anythings and you don't have to pay any extra money. Pay one- use forever.
hi,
what if my phone is non-root. what are the disadvantage of this??
sample - if my phone is factory reset it will remove the "NSA Tracker" or not?

Hello,
If your phone is not root, you could not install NSA Service to system/app folder. So factory reset will remove every thing, you can not track it after reset. On unroot device, you still can install Smart Call Recorder and then NSA Tracker and NSA Tracker is still invisible.
thanks for the answer.
i think about it for rooting my device.

Your're welcome.
New release will be public today or tomorrow. New function to be added:
Remote configuration/ Remote Configuration Clearance (evident clearance)/ Remotely Turning On Tracking: by 144-character encrypted SMS message.
New function has been added on latest release on NSA Tracker 1.1.2. Now you can:
1. Remotely configure NSA Tracker through SMS
2. Remotely clear all configuration (evidence clearance if you think your phone will not be back anymore)
3. Remotely turn on tracking.
This function was added as per request of an xda member. But frankly speaking, I think only the No. 2 is useful.

Hello tiancris,
Are you in Manila?
I miss Makati so much.
Some small modification had been made. App name change to Phone Tracker and Phone Service.
Phone service now register for phone call recording which is faster than any call recording application.
With best regards,

Small modification had been made in 1.1.4 version. Ram consumption less than 4Mb, more stable.
Update installation manual link.
@Cuong Phan nice idea but a question.
1. i see the app is recording all this information throughout the day and sending you emails with the info, throughout the day. Is the info stored on the phone indefinitely or deleted after the email is sent?
2. due to privacy concerns, i keep GPS and location providers off and use other programs to limit connectivity. how is the app gathering the devices location?
Again, thanks for the work on this. seems very interesting, especially for those of us who have had a phone stolen.
Dear Sherrif,
The app has its own database that store pending emails. When internet connection is off it will stay dormant and waiting. When email is sent to you, all data for that email will be deleted from internal storage.
2. My app will not ask user to turn on GPS (that behavior can make my app visible to user) so when location is off, it could not get location report. But Google Maps usually & publicly request location to be turned on, and once it get location turned on, it never turn location back off state ( unless user turn it off themselves). That's the logic of my app, and it's usually successful in gathering device location.
@Cuong Phan thanks for the info. Will try and report back... i like the idea of this

[/COLOR]I have a problem with the e mail enter
Dear Bruce,
It's quite ridiculous that I was also unable to enter into my blogspot link for a while, but now it's okay without any action (may be Google down??? quire ridiculous ha?). However i just update the link, directly to the article. You may try one more time.
I know on some devices, updating email may occur some errors, so I have shown instruction step-by-step in red color. You'd better try from:
1. Turn off NSA Tracker completely (completely mean when you open it, it's reopen, not resume from pause. You can restart your phone and reopen NSA Tracker to complete it).
2. Just try to re-update email again.
3. Even testing email is not successful, email and password had been updated. You may try to make a phone call to anybody for a few seconds to test whether NSA Tracker can send to you call recording email or not.
If problem still persist, email me again.
4. You're using a Moto G3, so it's possibly similar to my HTC One E8. It has an S-ON mechanism, that block all modification of system folder. So even your phone is rooted, it's still impossible for SuperSU to change system file unless your phone is S-OFF. That why the NSA said that the process may not be successful. You may try how to S-OFF your device here, using Sunshine tool. It costs 25 USD (but it worths because after S-OFF, your device is free to install other ROMs)

Hello everyone, I am working with Galaxy Tab S2 tablets (SM-T713, T710, and T700) all running stock versions of 6.0.1 Marshmallow. Currently I am having to configure all 13,000 (yes 13 thousand tablets) by manually going through the initial setup wizard and then they are going right into a custom KNOX enrollment and then loaded with customer information through a MDM Server. I am looking for a solution on how i may be able to automate the initial setup screen so i can save time since every other step is hands off. I read a post somewhere about somehow creating a update file and flashing that file from the recovery boot menu but cant seem to find it. Also i have no coding experience so if flashing an update file is an option then ill need to figure out how to make one.
I know this is a shot in the dark but if anyone has any experience with this then please do let me know. I can provide any other details if needed.
Thanks!
Is it an option for the customers to do the setup and then have them self-enroll to the mdm or they have to have it enrolled in order to receive it?

Unfortunately the customer is expecting me to load their employee data for them so that way all they need to do is log in with their credentials once out in the field.
Hmmm... maybe Samsung has tools to do this, just like the cellphone providers have to flash their own apps on...
It's a long shot...
Ive done similar on ipads with a special software apple supplies to prepare a bunch of devices, usually for classrooms or corporate employees. Not sure Samsung has something similar, but they must have something.... All those cellphones and LTE tablets were tweaked the way they wanted. Even a factory reset brings it back so its even in the recovery image.

Hi all.
I have a bit of an odd query.
On my Note 8, in Contacts, my profile at the top of the page...the default phone number keeps going to SIM 2's number.
I change it to default to SIM 1's number all the time and within a few minutes goes back to SIM 2.
I edit the profile and even delete the number, but sure enough, within a few minutes, SIM 2 number is back as the default profile number.
Why would this be please?
Anyone, please?
Also...can the profile be viewed by anyone else...or is it strictly an on-phone thing?
Mine is not real dual sim, but I have already changed to dual sim.
The number is not linked to sim 1 or 2, just a number in the profile,
Mine is working well, didn't change back automatically, but I didn't share the profile.

If you are sharing the profile,
When I call your number (whatever I got from website or somewhere) and I don'k know your name, Samsung will show your name automatically which you are sharing.
I tested this with my friend, but not 100% sure.
Hi.
Thank you for your response.
So the SIM 2 number will actually show up on my profile (which I am not sharing)?
