Hey guys,
I am wondering if there is any alternative app than AirDroid to remote control your phone.
Maybe an app which does it's interactions hidden, so that thieves don't recognize when I'm locating my phone.

Log in to your Google account used on your mobile and there is an option to locate your mobile.
Or try Cerberus app

Thank you! But I don't want my GPS always to be switched on because of the battery life. Isn't there any app, where I can remote-activate GPS when I need to find the phone?

can any of you recoomend an app that stores all my banking and private info and passwords on?
I use Password Safe by Jeff Harris. It is in the market. There is a PC version as well and you can use the same database for both. I have been using the PC version for years.

Try keepass. Works for all sorts of private info. It uses very well respected encryption, is open source and is free as in beer, and clients exist for almost every platform. If you keep your db in your dropbox you can have your passwords and data everywhere.

Try bobsled calling from the play store
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA
Does bobsled allow you to make free phone calls over wifi/ data? I checked it on playstore and web but it doesn't say much about calling, it's more about texts (which people are complaining that it's not free) ?

Viber? I use it for calling a lot
Plus it's absolutely free.

Well, I don't know what that means, but...
GrooVe IP + Google Voice
If you already have a GV number, then just install GrooVe IP. If GrooVe IP hasn't fixed the "keep WiFi on" issue yet, then you can solve that with Advanced Wifi Lock. I also use Llama to manage WiFi, because the battery will drain very fast if you keep WiFi on.
Thanks to all and especially MechMan! I got groove IP happening! Would love to stay n chat but I gotta go dig into all my new settings

Hi. Can anyone suggest a good alternative for hangouts/gtalk? I still use it a lot as most of my friends are on android and I've seen a couple of apps from the store that says they support gtalk but i prefer to hear some user experience of anyone used those. Thanks

hi,
i'm using im + pro for my Google and icq contacts.
you can always go with non-paid version, which has no chat history backup and few things removed.
I also use im+ best alternative app IMHO.

I have searched everywhere and my wife and I have had no luck, we are looking for an app or software like mobile spy that is free. We use sms to email to backup each others calls and texts, but is there a way to have an app do all of this as well as backup any image taken to email and perhaps even remote access?
We love doing this, it is a wonderful trust building exercise that has made us stronger and I would like her to be able to monitor more.
We are both rooted with custom roms.
Thanks in advance

You can use Titanium Backup and set it to backup to your Dropbox directly.

I have installed AutoMate but cannot dial directly from that. So was wondering if it is possible to sync AutoMate dialer to MTCB dialer. Thanks for your help.

Sorry no solution so far. All I need is a dialer like true contact that I can use with AutoMate to make call from

I use automate and i can call true automate. Install headunit.
So if you click on from AutoMate app the call goes through. If yes can you help me with your setup.

AutoMate is not going to work. Here is a fragment from a Google Groups discussion :
...............................................................
Well, the app tries to simulate the behaviour of Android Auto and it does it in a nice and good way (as much as it can). Like you said telephony will not work because it is not installed on the phone and head unit will not be able to dial out directly, you can try to use TabletTalk to dial out, but if you do then on incoming calls it will display a floating widget over any app, which I find very disturbing when using navigation, so I have given up on that.
The full discussion is available here.
Cant get it working with "headunit" app, True Contacts and Automate... Dialing not possible...

You can call true automate...use headunit..When you select a telephone number in am en you click dial Android is asking which app to use to redirect call. Select headunit and your call is redirected to the mtcb bluetooth app.
Thats not working for me. If I click on a number to call, it tries to launch thats not there. Will try to figure out. Im german its called "mobilfunk".
Tried doing call from AM but don't get the option for headunit to place call. But if I download exdialer then you see that in option.

Check this thread and I'm using an app called AutoMate from play store but the link says you can use PP dialer. With AutoMate no need for dialer it will place call straight from the app.
