Hi,
a friend of mine bought a few days ago a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7" to manage his clients (he's a doctor).
He started to build his contact library (he doesn't have an android phone and no gmail contacts) adding name, surname, eventually mail and phone number and in the "Note" field he wrote all the note he'd taken. BUT this field has a characters' limit, and he can't add even a letter anymore (for the most visited client of course).
I tried to search for an app for this purpose but I can't find anything. I don't even search ONLY an app, it can be enough another method using the in-build feature of the tablet and android.
I searched for some CRM app, but most of them are ugly (since it's not a power user the more simple and clean is the better) and not optimized for a tablet. I found Insightly, but it's only online, and if he does'nt have a wifi network around he can't, not only record the new data, but also access to the old ones! They MUST be always available.
I thought about a simple folder + text file in G Drive, but these are only online too. Dropbox, too.
If it can interact with the G Mail contacts (the Note field is very useful at this) it would be wonderful, otherwise he'll build up his library with his contacts.
How can I do to have these data always on the tablet (cloud sync is not absolutely necessary)??? Any idea for an app or an alternative method?
Thanks!
nobody??
He bought a tablet to use for work, without any idea on how he would use it for work or if it would even do what he wanted? If he throws money around like that, why not recommend him to get an app written for his company and it's needs. There are many app developers who design and write custom apps for clients.
Hi guys,
I'm searching for some messenger with strong privacy and "secret" features. Better explained, I've found Telegram as a good alternative to Whatsapp with its encryption features, but it lacks one thing that I really need: I'd like to keep some chat very private: it will be very useful if the conversation had some kind of PIN-password-pattern unlocking features.
This is possible for sms (Handcent, for example), but I haven't found it in any Messenger service.
Do you know any?
Bump. I'm looking for one too. I looked into evolveSms but I think its a bit over priced for the features. I'm currently using handcent but I don't really like the UI.
I have a data plan with limited sms, so I am interested in messenger/chat service like Whatsapp, Telegram, Kakao Talk and so on, but they all don't offer the 'private chat' option.

You could just lock Telegram with another app? There are tons on the Play Store.

Yes, I know, but this is the last option. I'd like to find a solution within the messenger app.
Threema has an Option for PIN Protection.
If activated you have to enter your PIN Code before you can see the messages.
The Problem with Threema is the same with most other messengers ... it´s not open source.
Go Sms Pro
Try GO SMS PRO the best messaging app on playstore it has lots of themes a good ui and the most important one privacy !!! you can protect your messages with pin or pattern lock !!! you can search on play store. I think you have to pay for some features but you can try it !!!
Sorry for my bad english ....!

Once again, I'm not interested in sms app, I need some messenger app working through data network. Maybe with the same features of go sms pro.
As shiva-afk stated, Threema has the protection option you want. It provides end-to-end encryption and protects your send/received messages/media:
First, you can protect your conversations if you set a passphrase for your encryption key. So, if you end the Threema process or reboot your phone, you have to enter this passphrase first before you can access any chat log or received pictures since they are stored encrypted (unless you exported them from the app into common store like the sd card).
Second, you can set a PIN to the app itself. So, even if you have unlocked the key with your passphrase, the app locks itself after being idle for some time and asks for a pin. You can define the time before it locks itself in several steps (30s, 1m, 2m, 5m, 10m, 20m).
However, it is not free (costs ~1,60€) and its not open source. The devs (from Switzerland) claim to use the common NaCl-library for crypto, but you must trust their sayings.

Hi, i am back on Android after 4 years of iOS Experience.
And i wonder why there is still no Root or CustomROM Project that bring real App Sharing on one Device for similar Users?
Example: Tablet used by Wife and Childrens - and anyone has to purchase a App on his own PlayStore Account. Serious? Wife and Husband both using Android Devices - and anyone has to purchase a App for his own?
The Workaround to enter a second Account and uncheck all Syncs without PlayStore is not a good Solution under privacy aspects.
Is there really no Way to hint or anything to make it Impossible to activate MailSync, Contacts and Photos from the Account that is only entered to install and update Apps?
On iOS > 7.x you can enter a seperate AppStore Account in AppStore Options.
On iOS > 8.x you can really choose who can use your Apps up to 5 Family Members.
And if there is no Softwaresolution how do you manages thos in YOUR Case? To create a only App-Account is no Option for me because i allready own dozen of payeds Apps.
A simple and perfect Solution for me is like add my Account to any Device without having the Option to sync anything else from my Account. Is there really no Dev that has fun to create something like that? I guess thousand of users are having the same wish.
Hi, I will get a new router soon that supports SIP and IP-phones. So I want to use an Android Smartphone for landline calls. The Android dialer supports SIP accounts (I checked CM11, CM12 and 5.0 stock), so I want to use that.
Because the device is used as a phone, I want to sync all my gmail contacts with their phonenumbers. The phone is supposed to lie around for everyone to use, so there will be no security lock. But because I have all my stuff on my google account I don't want people to have access to more data than the contacts (read access / no write).
How do I manage this? With restricted users I could choose which apps are accessible, but as far as I know it's not available for phones, only tablets.
The easiest was is probably to do it without the sync and just import the whole contact list once every month or something. Then the write access would be no problem, because nobody can mess directly with my contacts.
Is there any ROM that brings restricted users to phones that I can try?
I have a HTC Sensation (CM12) with docking station which I want to use.
I also have a Nexus 4 (stock 5.0) with a partly not responding touchscreen that I could also use when there is a ROM with the needed features only for this device.
HI all, I have been a follower of this amazing forum for quite some time now. A big thank you to the forum owners, mods and all concerned parties for the effort, information and forum.
I need help this time around. I have a XIAOMI MI 10T. WITH GLOBAL MIUI 12 ROM, running Miui 12.0.5.0., android 10.
Can some one please help me, to install either xiaomi's MI apps or a working third party or google alternative apps to Google contacts, Google Dialer, and Google Messages(SMS) Apps? WITH OUT ROOTING MY DEVICE?
It would be really awesome to have them back.
Problems I face with factory installed google apps are,
1.my contacts are not allowed to get saved on my device.
2.google dialer's call recorder self defeats the purpose it exists for. No video calling Built in.
3.google's message (sms) app is way too slow in searching through the contacts when I need to send a message and IT JUST DOESNT have an option to share a Contact in TEXT format, only mms is allowed for some reason.
4. Post DEC 2020 security update, non of the alternative apps from the google's play store work without bugs, or without solving the above problems.
HELP.
I even tried contacting google apps developer team, as per their developer contact email Id left in the play store (Which is, [email protected]). the automated reply said
