Develop Bugs

[Q] Has anyone used Killswitch with success?

I installed it today and set it up for a tablet as per the app's instructions, even shortened the confirmation time a bit, but it seems to not work for my A7 set-up (Dextermod 1.3, no additional patches).
Has anyone tried this app? Does it work for you?
Update: it just froze my tablet...all except the live wallpaper. With some acrobatics I was able to disable it and uninstall. It's too bad...seems like a great app. I would just like to know why the incompatibility?

Hi, Im the developer of the app. Lets see if we can fix your problem... you are the first I know of with the Elocity tablet!
You can use the free aLogcat app from the market. Run it, then Killswitch, then after the crash send the text you see to me via PM or to [email protected]

Ok, thanks I will try that. It should be a really convenient app to use.

Hello again, im working on improvements to Killswitch this week! Did you ever send the logcat?
We get a lot of them, and people often forget to name their device and problem so all we get is text!

I couldn't get it to do athing at all the second time so I never sent the log. I'll put VB kl ky try again soon. Thanks for your support.

Did you manage to fix the issue? my killswitch is working well now.

Update to the latest version - yours is over 2 weeks old!

People, I could really use some feedback, as we have been working hard at solving outstanding issues on galaxy s phones.
Are sms replies blocked properly? Does the new logging method work?

Works.
But the calling person hears a spilt second tone on both reject & alternate reject. Need to work on that.

Regards

Good to know, thanks!

Hi, sorry, but this is a translation of google translator.
To begin the work I want to thank you and tell you that the program is fantastic.
Now I mention a problem I have since version .09 to .11
I have a Galaxy_S with Darky 9.5 ROM.
When you check the "Start service on boot" and restart the terminal, marking is not maintained and I have to tick the option "Enable bloquing call" every time you reboot the phone and not being able to start the service itself.
Thanks again and best regards.

Works great on 2.3.3. Thanks a lot! =)

No problem, please thank us by leaving a nice comment on the market or getting the donate version

Well I tried the App yesterday, but I am not at all impressed with it, I mean it shouldn't be called Root Call Blocker! I Black listed my own number, and tested, there is still a small Ring coming, so the blocked user will more than easily understand the number is blocked. But in the application comment it was stated that it will be blocked from Network state! Anyway, that didn't happen for me.

It is still the fastest by miles mate! Noone will know youre blocking them - thats just paranoia.
Anyway, network state is defined by the answer to the ring. There is no other way. Even CM blocking works this way.

[App] WiFi Direct for Galaxy S

A few months ago, when I had to send a big video to a friend's phone and realized that Bluetooth really sucks, I found out about WiFi Direct.
I googled a lot, but could not find a way to get it to work on my phone, although the I9000 was officially called the "first phone certified with WiFi Direct".
As I'm interested in programming, I started to research what I could do to develop an app that could send files at similar speeds and finally found out WiFi Tethering could work in combination with a simple HTTP server.
I started to write on the app in my free time, got it nearly ready, but stopped working on it because it became quite busy at school.
In the meantime I had switched my phone, but in the holidays I picked up the project again, finished the app and published it on Google Play. It's available there since about two months and received an update recently.:laugh:
I want to share this app with you guys now. It's free and I hope you'll find it useful.
The app allows for speeds of up to 32 Mbit/s, which means e.g. 1 Gigabyte in just over 4 minutes (depending on devices)
Features:
✔ Up to 20x speed of bluetooth
✔ The receiver is device-independent
✔ No need for a common Wi-Fi connection
✔ No data usage for file transfers
✔ The receiver does not have to have the app installed
✔ Send single or multiple files
✔ Easy to setup: Use QR codes to allow the receiver to easily connect to the wifi and open the receiving URL
Play Store Link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.floriandraschbacher.fastfiletransfer
APK: http://bit.ly/FastFileTransfer
I hope you find this useful!

Hi FD_
in next CM10 nightly WiFi direct will be removed.
Is this thing will affect your app ?

No, this won't affect Fast File Transfer.
As mentioned, the app uses WiFi tethering (and not WiFi direct) and therefore will still offer fast file transfers.
So don't worry if the next CM10 does not have WiFi Direct, just use Fast File Transfer instead :laugh:

thank you very much, galaxy i9000 was first device with wifi direct but i had never use it, will try it tomorrow with friend of my. thank you one more time...

Is it possible to make out a way to receive files also... would be more useful then...
Btw the app is very good as now i can shut the mouth of my frnds who show off...
Edit : had to install app in frnds phone and all good in receiving too...

Is there any chance that in future versions, the step of opening the browser or QR code, no need to do it ?
I mean, I do not see the need to open the browser on your second device because the two devices are "connected".
The way that this now appears that the second device downloads the file and not the first device sends it.
I hope I have explained.
Sorry for my english

try the app and it seems working for me

You could send multiple files once and create a bookmark to the index page in the browser on the recipient device.
Maybe I'll implement a simple receiving part in the next version.

This is technically impossible without having an app installed on the recipient's device. Maybe the receiving part mentioned above will help you, but it will require the receiver to have the app installed, if he wants to benefit from the "fast receiving" function.
Thanks for all your praise :laugh:

Very nice and handy app. Thank you.

Very nice, thnk you.

Thanks for this!

sounds nice

We are sorry that it's not working for you, but can you be more specific? Do you mean you couldn't download it? Installation failed? Crashed on the phone? Crashed on the watch? If you provide more info, we will look into the problem and fix it.

You can download the app at the app store by going to play.google.com/apps/testing/com.idelan.drexteemessenger You have to go to the app store by following the link, you can't find the app in the app store by searching it since the app is in beta.

Awesome app. Very accurate especially for a small keyboard. Only thing was that I didn't like how it bundled all my notifications on my phone. Also would suggest Suggestions for misspelled words, like if I spell dfg, it should show me options dog, dig etc but doesn't seem to give me suggestions for misspelled words only for completing the correct spelled words. Also (and I'm sure its in the works for future release), swipe would be an awesome feature. will continue using this beta version as it is very well stable version for daily use. (Using it with Asus Zenwatch 2)

We are glad that you like Drextee Messenger! Thank you very much for your feedback! Regarding bundling notifications, that part is still a work in progress and most probably will change in future versions.
Misspelling which happens because of the small size of keys (i.e., fat finger errors) can be easily corrected by dragging finger on the keyboard. Please see the demo: https://youtu.be/Bvlk3_4MOvA?t=28s
Using this technique for correcting errors is much faster than pressing the backspace and retyping, specially when the error happened a few letters before.
We are working on a technique which makes typing much faster. Please stay tuned and let us know your feedback. We are listening!

Don't want to replace Lumia 640XL -- Any fix for WhatsApp after 2020?

Hello everyone! My mom is currently using a 640XL. She's very happy with it. The phone works well, looks good. But there's a problem. WhatsApp will no longer be supporter after 2020. I'm looking for a fix, some way that she can keep this app. Does that exist?
Worst case scenario, can Google store be downloaded into the phone so she can access it from there? I know there's a way to do this with Kindle tablets but unsure if it applies to windows phones.
I'm not a programmer or even programming literate but will try and follow instructions if there's anything to be done.
Thanks for any tips.

Don't get it. Sure that's how it works. You'd need a second device to scan and authenticate. Then you should be good to go in theory...

Hi there,
I tried it on a Lumia 950XL WoA, and it works. Not sure, that notifications will come with a new message.
I tried the same on a Lumia 710 (WP 7.8) and it sent me to the Store and recommanded WhatsApp. When I tried to install WhatsApp (knowing it can't be installed anymore), the store told me to update my phone.
So you allways will need an Android or iOS device to install your WhatsApp and keep it running, and you can hope that WhatsApp will update their Website in order to prevent you from getting to the App store.
Best wishes, Joachim

If someone is interested, whatsapp web works in windows 10 mobile using Monument Browser, which is a very good browser you can find in the store.
You'll need a master phone with android or ios app to setup the link.
It seems to me that notifications won't work, but maybe changing some setting in the browser can also fix notifications.

Do you intend that there is a patched version of whatsapp that can still be used on windows 10 mobile as an app ?
If yes where can I download it and how can i install it ?

That sounds great... Could you please tell us how to patch, or provide a download link?
Monumentum works, but, as already stated by Sigfrid, without notifications?

After a hard reset of 950 XL Whatsapp no longer works.

After a hard reset, for me a new installation, I would not get WhatsApp any more. If WhatsApp would run once more, I would suggest to make a WpInternals Backup...
Just to read old messages: Turn on flight mode and reset date to January 13. Do not try to answer an old message...
So for me, patching WhatsApp would help.
Regards, Joachim

I've been using that method for a few weeks now, but needed a few tweaks to get it working at it's best (which isn't perfect!). I've put a guide HERE https://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-10-mobile/whatsappweb-w10m-t4036235

Thank you, it works for me as for you. 65% zoom was a good suggestion. Pinning to my home screen did not work, but I use Monumentum only for WhatsApp, so there is no problem.
