Keylogger/Parental control (free) - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
Is there any free app which records recieved/sent text messages (default app/hangouts/whatsapp) aswell internet activity. Also it must be able to send e-mails or access it online so the teenager doesnt know of such app.
Theres teenage kid whos not getting her phone useless I can get some kind of app on her phone...
I tried KidLogger, but it doesnt support text messages in free version.

There are many security apps for android that do just what you want that people put on their own phones to find it when it has become lost or stolen. The best options may likely be paid apps but you definitely get what you pay for.
The most secure versions that I have seen are installed on a "rooted" phone where they can be installed to the system partition of the Android OS and remain hidden and unaccessible to the user. When installed this way I think that even a factory reset will not remove them where as all apps added normally will be wiped out.

Many parental control tools can be used by you such as iKeMonitor. This software can record text messages, phone calls WhatApp and websites visited and it runs in total stealth mode. You don’t have to worry you kid will detect because it’s hard to find out. You can have a free trail.

Key loggers are against the law in many places and as such against the rules. Thread closed

Looking for this 'exotic?' app

Hey so i recently converted. Back in symbian (XM 5530) I used to have an app that'd conveniently record all calls/messages (after playing back my msg) if i didn't pick up for like 40seconds. all the messages would be stored offline.
Now i see all kinds of 'visual voice mail' and the likes apps on market but i can't find an app with this simple functionality. Is there such an app? (i'm on SGS2 ). I don't want to use my operator's voicemail and Google Voice doesn't work here.
I hope 'theres an app for that'.
Please share android gurus.
Hullomail is a great voicemail app.
Does it work in any of the 200 countries beside the US/UK? caz i'm not living there
To clarify, i want something offline. an offline app, my crappy symbian phone had one such app. It's simple mobile101. Something that picks up a call if i don't pickup for like 30 secs. plays a message and records the user message to memory. I dont want to pay extra to my operator for voicemail.. I dont want to go through lengthy processes and new services to route my friend's calls/recordings.
Something offline. on the phone. that does't need internet to run. doesn't cost monney and works in asia

Pakistan to be precise. but Like i mentioned in first post. I used to have an app on symbian that'd record all calls offline (no internet, no voicemail operator BS) . It'd just pick up a call if i didn't pickup for 30,40 seconds , play my msg and let them record their msg. All offline, no internet required, no 3rd party call forwarding, so regardless of locality, if such an app exists, it shud work everywhere.
It's a simple task but I couldn't find any app for this simple task on android market which is a bit surprisng, considering how sucky symbian is and how it lacks apps support but it had that app and it is a pretty primary task, i can't use GV, or any third party internet/call-forwarding app.
Was wondering if anyone knows an offline line app that'd do thi ssimple task.

App suggestions

Hey guys, i am an android app developer looking for a new project. I know users often have apps that they wish someone would make that we overlook. Do you guys have any suggestions for apps that you would like to see in the google play store in the coming months?

A nice money management app like money tab! most money management apps are not tablet friendly, with a nice layout like falcon pro! ahh, dreaming in nice, im still waiting for an app like that
Have you tried Mint?
How about an ipod management app for tabs with usb? That'd be great

How about an equivalent of n-Stream That's only for the iPad. You can read there are a lot of people who want it for android (like me).

I would also be really interested in an ipod manager. It's the only thing I can't do with my tablet that really bothers me.
It would be kinda cool to have a video player with a notepad type thing underneath
I used to set up a netflix window and a word window like that on my pc so you can either take notes or watch tv while working
ipod manager would be hard to build right off
starting it as an mp3 player manager or really a storage utility that focuses on exteral devices with cloud plugins (ftp, dropbox, skydrive, drive, etc)
Note taking app
How about a note taking app, that is versatile in the sense that it allows to edit written text, and allows you draw graphs and type equations with a stylus? Something like NOTABILITY for the ipad
Answering machine app
If this already exist please advise.
The app would:
If the phone is not answered after a set number of rings;
answer the call;
play a message (Please leave a message);
use the voice recorder to record the call;
and save internal or to sd card.
Just like common answering machines do now.
Why bother with voicemail.
If you have unlimited minutes if doesn't matter.
If you have prepaid like I do, you pay when you call to get your voicemail anyway.
Calls are stored on your phone.
More secure, better privacy.
I just hope this is not a stupid idea.

I think there aren't api functions for that
Root would be required
Though you should be able to make something that calls, downloads and deletes your voicemail
It would dial out (apps do that) with pauses and whatnot record calls (apps also do that)
Though that's really the easiest way
Unless you just use Google voice (or setup your own voicemail server) and download them that way
Honestly gv is the easiest way to go and at best you're hacking something specific to your firmware

I think this is a great idea. I am going to look into it and try making it. I will send you a PM if I make it.

One day I will make this app. Unfortunately i currently lack the experience to do so. A note taking app was the idea that got me interested in developing Android apps.

I know many parents use monitoring software to monitor kids such as iKeyMonitor ( ikeymonitor.com ). This software can be used to monitor people in secret and record all the keystokes as well as your phone calls. You can know everything of your kid. But in my opinion, you’d better talk to your kid if you two have problem.

This is illegal in many places and as such is not allowed.

How to block SMS/MMS - Need recomendations.

I've been trying to find a simple way to block SMS/MMS to my phone. I've been using Signal for a while now as do many of my friends and would just assume block all the unsecure stuff since Signal comes though data. Thought it would be easier than it's turning out to be. Tried a couple apps and they require building spam lists to get them to work, any way to just block them all?
if you don't mind just blacklist the number perhaps

That will also stop calls which I don't want to do. I only want to stop non Signal SMS/MMS
There's got to be an easier way but what I've come up with for now is I'm using Postman SMS blocker to block all SMS while it's set as my default messenger. I'm using Auto Reply free to auto respond to those blocked texts to tell them they've been blocked and to download Signal. Most of my friends are already on Signal and the ones that don't give half a crap about their privacy, that's their problem. They can call or email. In this situation theres still technically txts making it to the phone but their one sided statements that are never replied to and no conversation from me. Will all the notifications of the block and reply off it's good enough for now.

You are sadly mistaken if you think signal is more secure then the standard SMS protocol. That's like samsung what's app or fb messenger are secure. It's only as secure as their server is.

Can you explain how? Signal is end to end encrypted and the keys aren't stored on the server. WhatsApp is made by WhatsApp and has nothing to do with Samsung, they also use the Signal/Text Secure protocol so same thing different name. No shortage of security experts regularly examine the source and I've yet to read a review from anybody in security that isn't a huge fan. I fail to see how regular ol SMS that does none of that and is just as secure. If you know something nobody else seems to please let us know, I can't be the only one that's into privacy that would want to know.

Samsung was an auto correct. As for Wahtsapp that is owned by FB and made by them and have been found over and over again to have back doors built in just like their messaging app.
Ill leave you wit this. We have some of the best in android security here on the site. Yet none of them use it and advise to stay away from everything to do with FB. Ever wonder why on XDA we have not featured the app. IF it really was that secure then we would be all over it covering it and advising its use.
True Mobile security is an illusion. IF you use a rooted device or use social media then privacy isnt really a big deal.

Replacement for Chikka APP?

Hi, I'm looking for an APP that can replace Chikka, since the service stopped in march this year after running for almost 2 decades.
I found 2, but both has some things I don't like:
FSMS (Freedom SMS) - The app works like Chikka and replies do end up in the APP's own inbox, but keep pushing to be the default SMS APP even though you already said NO during first setup. Also it contain surveys that collect your data. Add's I can live with, but not data collecting.
PreText SMS - The app works like Chikka and replies do end up in the APP's own inbox, but keep pushing to be the default SMS APP even though you already said NO during first setup, and there is an annoying "Make default APP" button in the bottom of the screen. Also it contain surveys that collect your data - this were not disclosed before downloading and installing. Add's I can live with, but not data collecting.
Anyone know of alternatives?
Yes, I already searched for it
I'm 6 months a year in Denmark and need to send/receive SMS to/from Philippines, and only Philippines - So don't need a permanent replacement for my normal SMS APP. Philippines is not like most of the world, there are places where you simply can't get an internet connection for FB messenger or other chat APP's to work, or the phone signal is really poor so calling is not good - therefore the need for something like Chikka(Text over internet -> SMS(they earned the money on add's and the replies cost 2Php)).
I wouldn't mind paying for the APP or a monthly subscribtion, but not one that bind me for a year or two, or is hard to get out of again, as I stated above, I only need it for 6 months a year.
So what do you guy's/girl's say?
Regards
JBJ
