[Q] Parent controll app for WhatsApp? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi There,
My uncle has two sons al below 16 years old. They are exactly how you expect them to be at that age, rebellious. Because it is a phase now that everything he woudl give them as advice they do exactly the opposite of that. So he wanted to be sure that everything will be allright by monitoring their phones. Nowadays a lot of things are possible with the android based phones. So I proposed to search for an spy app, so he could get an e-mail or what with the logs of the chats these days? You've got an option in WhatsApp to e-mail a conversation history by mail. So i thought this would be possible, he is able to obtain the phones for at least an hour but he cant do that everytime. So it should be installed on the boys phones and then automatically send the logs etc.
Is this even possible?

[Q] Anyone know of any good free sms logging app

Hi I could really do with some advise. I suspect my 13 year old daughter is being messaged by some pervert she has been talking to online. she forgot her phone a couple of weeks ago when she went swimming and got a notification of a message on Facebook which I checked only to find what was, lets say a message no 13 should get. I have deleted all her internet settings and her MSN and facebook accounts and she wont be leaving the house for quite a while, but she is acting strange and spending lots of time texting and deleting her sent and received messages as soon as she gets them. Could really do with some form of logging software or something to put my mind at rest and either beat the living ****e out of this bloke or forward his number to the police. Need something stealthy and free or really cheap as I have reciently been made redundant and all the ones I can find are very expensive. I tried stealth sms messenger but when i tried it on my phone it just forwarded blank texts. Thanks in advance.
forgot to say its for a sensation if that makes a difference
i would suggest sms backup which archives messages onto a gmail account.
i've used it for over a year without any problems.
it works away in the background but is clearly visible within the apps list.
Thanks gascomm i will have a look and see if i can hide it some way. does it backup both sent and received?
yes, both in & outgoing messages are saved.
am afraid i haven't a clue on how to hide it but there may well be apps in the market to do such a thing. best of luck in finding a full solution.
Cheers i will sort something out, thanks again for your advise
If u use a launcher like Go EX then you can hide apps in the app drawer. Best of luck
Thanks very much I will give it a shot

SMS Backup is an amazing app. Use it all the time.
Try SMS Tracker Agent.
you can track sms messages remotely.

[Q] SMS/MMS via internet for UK 3 network

I'm a UK Three customer using Omega 9.1 ROM (FW: XXBLG1 Modem:XXLFB CSC:H3GALE4).
I work a lot offshore, way out at sea so obviously no mobile connection whatsoever for weeks however we do have a small bandwidth internet connection on the ship.
There seems to masses of apps for being able to receive and send SMS messages via the internet but many seem country specific. I don't want anything too fancy just the ability to use text messages (and preferably free???). Ideally being able to retrieve my voice messages would be awesome as normally when I get home from 4 weeks at sea I have loads and loads of voice messages (I should change my answerphone message before I leave to "Please don't leave a message as I am at sea" but I always forget)
Can anyone recommend a good way of doing this please? I understand that HandcentSMS may have this feature but their website made it look a bit overkill for my needs.
Thanks in advance
Could possibly suggest you using Whatsapp, its free from the Google Play Store and you can send messages, pictures, videos and even recorded voices messages to other whatsapp users completely free over an internet connection.
It would mean that the people who want to contact you would also need to have the Whatsapp app on there phone but it can be downloaded on Apple devices, Blackberry, Android and on newer nokia devices aswell.
I understand this may not be a perfect solution and maybe some of the people you want to contact cant have Whatsapp on there phone but it could really help with those who can.
Hope this helps
Tnanks for that. Certainly a part way solution and I guess the messages I am referring to involve close colleagues, friends and family so I'll see if we can try this route as a group.
Out of interest someone who I worked with mentioned Google Talk but as far as I have read/searched this is just a "chat/instant message" application. Surely it doesn't access my SMS messages? As far as I assume, SMS messages go through my network provider(??). The issue I really want to surmount is just to be able to receive my SMS messages when I am at sea for weeks on end. It really is frustrating getting to within sight of land (normally Aberdeen) and as soon as I get mobile reception a million and one messages start pinging in some of which were sent weeks ago.
Check out textplus. May be worth a look.

In case if it hasnt been mentioned before, here's how it's done
1- Turn off syncing of google mail..
2 - Create an account on IFTTT.com

Something is clearly wrong if your having battery problems and you need to turn off sync. Are you on your phone every minute of the day? I'm sure there's alot more you can do besides turning off sync, but whatever floats your boat. My battery has been fine on my S4.
sounds like he is turning off wifi, and using this text system for email notifications instead of wifi connection

problems with kik app

Ok I am not sure if this should be in this forum, but I was wanting to know if anyone had a possible solution to the problem I have with kik messenger, the problem has been with me for about 3 weeks now, kik are claiming the problem is on my side, but its only kik the problems are with, so what actually happened was on my account I was receiving some messages but not all, and also when I was sending messages the majority of them stayed on "s" which means I think that its not getting delivered, even though the people I messaged were online and were not having any problems them selfs, unless it was to me, i had a good internet connection, so thats not the issue, I would send 1 or two messages and they got delivered, I cant seem to find a problem as all other apps work fine, I did try taking my battery out, restarting my phone etc etc, the strange thing is I opened another account and it sent and received messages perfectly for maybe about two hours and then done the exact same, so I opened another account and that done it aswell, in fact ive opened 4 kik accounts to see if it done the same and it has, strange I know, I have actually tried signing into all the acounts 1 by 1 and still the same problems , does anyone know why this is happening and have a solution to this? I would not ask in here but ive tried everything else and nothing seems to work, ive even uninstalled kik about 3 times and reinstalled it but still same problems, kik are not helping and I know this place has alot of very smart people and geniuses so I thought I could get a solution on here, if not a solution then maybe even just an answer to why this is happening to me and if possible if it is fixable, thanks again for reading my thread and I hope to hear back from someone, thanks .bazza.
Same problem here - some additional info
I've been having the same problem with my kik app since I updated to the newest version of the app. One extra thing to note is that when I try to add anyone new or search for a user, I get a dialog box that says I don't have a network connection. My network connection is fine, and other apps don't seem to have any problem with it. I disconnected from wifi to test it out, and it doesn't even recognize my phone's connection as active. I'm really confused, but I think the problem has to do with something in the update not jiving with how these phones connect?
Hello friends,
I am here with a possible solution. sometimes kik servers can go down, unfortunately, but don't worry. there are spikes, so all you have to do is check constantly. Eventually, it should work.
P.S- when kik servers go down, the current messages you are recieving/sending may have the time of when the kik server went online for the first time. The rest will have their own times however, so do not worry if something as such happens.

[Q] My whatsapp account wont show up on others phone

First time poster here.
It all started when I changed number from my old phone no. to a new one under a different carrier. I started to notice the problem when some of my friends tried to add me into a group for an assignment. So I gave them my new no., the same night they called me and told me that they cant find my number and told me wether or not I have a whatsapp account. So I came up with a solution ( you can kinda call it one ) for them to get my whatsapp and that is by me sending a message to them, with this my contact somehow pop up on their phone. A really tedious method I say.
Anyone here knows a solution to this problem. Its been rather annoying lately since ill be doing alot of my chatting in the group for my college assignment.
I haven't really found any solution on the net.
