"Enhanced Push-to-Talk" - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

So I was looking on AT&T's webpage for our phone, and it says that the SGS3 has PPT....
Doesn't that need like a dedicated button for PPT? and how do we access PPT?

Nice wonder if that's an att bloat app.

PTT capable through an App. The button is just there for easy access.
SouthernLinc has something similar that crosses to all platforms/carriers being cooked at the moment.

What is the app though? Must be that is S3 exclusive or something, its outlind as one of the best features at the very top of the details page, the HTC One X says nothing about PTT and the same for the Note II.
I wanna try walkie talkie now....

Voxer is on the ATT site as well as the play store. For the record, I was able to download it on my wifes GS2 as well. Works fine.

My Buddy has this at work on his sgs 2... Same idea as Motorolas Mike system... The PTT service is available through Bell as well for 15.99 per month I think... http://mobilebusiness.bell.ca/solutions/push-to-talk/

See even the S3 is listed on bell as PTT... hmmm i shall investigate after work.

Searched Google Market for PTT, and there's a specific AT&T app, "AT&T Enhanced PTT"
www.att.com/eptt
Of course it is a $5/month add on for the service. However it says the data used for it doesn't count toward your quota. The app has only 17 reviews but gets good reviews. The negative reviews are not performance based as in speed or ease of use, but that it didn't work on their phone. Also it says it is compatible with existing radio systems, which is probably why it comes up as a business service at AT&T.
There's no ios version, and only 6 listed compatible devices. I think a free version like Voxer would work better for most people.
Edit: Also noticed there is also PC version of the software where you can contact and receive from the computer. Can't tell if that one costs anything or is part of the service. Basically you pay for the service on the phone(s) and you can use the desktop client or the desktop client has to be added on. Seems to be included.

This seems to be Samsung only, i just tried this on my LG Optimus 7 and it adds an app called MFT to the app list but requires a password

Same with you. Only show the MFT and need password.
Try 1234, it is for Omnia...
Awesome. Things are starting to look good!
That is really good.
Tethering FTW
works for me!
[As I posted at PocketNow.com]
I used Samsung Focus. This post is such a life saver! My only gripe against Windows Phone 7 was lack of tethering (I rarely used copy/paste in Win Mo 6.5 and I can live without 3rd party multi-tasking for a while at least). I was spoiled by using WMWifiRouter to connect my netbook to the internet.
Now I can thanks to this hidden feature! I was just able to connect my netbook running Windows 7 Starter and I got Dial up Networking just fine (its been a LONG time since I had to see DUN!). My setup was slightly different: I could not see the Samsung Focus in the ‘adapters’ list and so I ran the DUN wizard and, voila!, I have broadband. I tested speed at Speakeasy.net: I am on east coast. Download speed at Los Angeles was 2.54 mbps. Download at Atlanta was 3.84 mbps. Pretty good!
Now I truly love my Samsung Focus!
Can anyone confirm if the LG and Samsung diagnostic app is the same or just similar?
I have a HTC and am curious if this app is a MS one or if it manufacturer dependent (hopfully MS as that would give HTC folks a better chance of seeing it soon!!!).

The Elements - Tablet

I am currently working on a version of my app, The Elements, specifically for the Adam and similar tablets. Currently this app is available in the Demo section or the Android Market. You should be able to transfer it to your tablet if the market is not available on your tablet. Because this will transfer straight into the finished product it does cost 2.99 (price libel to increase with introduction of Wolfram|Alpha API). For those of you who check it out, please send me your thoughts and let me know what you think I need to fix or add. Thanks.
Been doing a ton of work on this lately. Spending all my spare time on it basically. So far I've got the List section near finalization. It still has work, yes, but you can get a pretty good idea of what its going to look like when its done.
Again, please send me all comments. All are welcome.
Check it out here
Features
*All 118 Elements
*Information highlights (click on things like Atomic Weight to see what this is)
*Swipe navigation through elements
*Images of or relating to all elements
*Elements information from Wikipedia and Wolfram|Alpha

*Classic View is now functioning.
*Calculations, more of which if I can find I will add

I've been trying to buy the tablet version for my Advent Vega Tegra tablet running Android 2.2 but the Android market website says it is "Not available for your carrier"
It does not appear in the Android Market on the tablet, although your two phone versions appear there.
My tablet does not have a sim slot and no 3g capability and thus does not have a "carrier".
Do you have any ideas how I can purchase your app?
If it's of any relevance I'm in the UK.

My apologies. I have not been able to get all the countries information entered yet into the market. I will work on that later and you should be able to get it by tonight. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Just so you know I expect this to be comparable to the iPad app but this is NOT the same. Nor am I affiliated to the creator of the iPad app. I do realize that they have the same name. I have not looked at whose came first nor am I sure that it matters seeing as I am on a different platform. Just want to clear that up. I intend to make it a great experience though and thank you for your support. I hope that I still have it.

GrooVe IP suspended from Market

RESOLVED - app back in Market!
Looks like Amazon still has available.
It's a great app!
That's right it is still available on the Amazon Market but many of us have already purchased it on the Android Market, that is the issue.
Yes, I understand that as I purchased there also. Stinks that it's gone, probably carriers pushing for its ban.
I'm curious as well. Great app.
It's definitely the best voice over IP client for Android. I'll make sure I keep my copy backed up.
Y'all take a minute and write/call Google about it! Let's make them explain themselves! It's not right to do a dev like they did.
Here's the response I got from Google:
If you'd like additional details about why the app is no longer on Android Market, we recommend you contact the developer directly - we cannot provide any more information as to why the app is no longer available.

That seems like a borderline dishonest reply in this case.
Looks like it's back up in the market.
Sweet, I was looking for something exactly like this! I can now natively use my Google Voice account in Canada without having to worry about forwarding numbers, etc... Just bought it for less than any other US to Canada service out there

Yup it's back in the Market. Apparently Google took issue with one of the lines of description, something like "Google Voice VOIP". Thankfully this issue, or non issue rather, has been resolved.

Tapestry App On GNex. Answer To S3 Share Shot???

Hey guys. I was browsing Google Play Store (like I do every night at work ) and I came across this app called Tapestry, It's pretty much a photo sharing app and I was wondering if It could be the equivelent to the S3's share shot feature. Here's the links to play store and Google I/O interview for app below. Seems like a pretty cool app and kinda similar to S3's share shot feature

Hey BigSmooth. A few of us on the forum stumbled onto the app just like you. They've since updated the app to offer support back down to Gingerbread. Great move, because previously, with Jelly Bean only support, it would've been hard to get users. I think the reference you're making to Samsung is the Galaxy SIII's "Group Share" feature. I have many friends w/ GSIII, but none of them use it because they tell me it takes like 15 clicks to get it setup. I wonder why Samsung keeps advertising this feature when it works so poorly on their phones. I guess they think it is a cool and popular use case. But based on how I've been using Tapestry with friends and family, I think it is easier to use (3 clicks to setup vs. 15), and works on 85% of all Android phones (instead of just GSIII) now that they have Gingerbread support. Tapestry also has synchronized pinch/zoom/panning, as we as real-time P2P download of images. My wife thinks it is pretty nifty she can grab whatever images she likes right then and there.

Two ways to do this...root and no root...
I was looking for the same to provide support to clients. There are two ways I've found to do this...
1) My Mobiler:
Not sure if ypu guys remember this from the good old WinMo days, but My Mobiler is now available for Android users for some time. Must be rooted and config is a little tricky on Samsung phones (easy on HTC and Moto), but once you get it working it's great for local control via USB or WiFi, or remote control via VPN or some other virtual network. Google it. Unfortunately you have to be rooted so not for everyone.
2) Teamviewer:
For Samsung devices only...no root required, free! One click install! Works great on GN2, GS3, and GN10.1 (those are the only three I tested, may work with others). Just go to the Play Store and search for Teamviewer Quicksupport. With free Teamviewer app on desktop or another Android device, any user with a compatible device can send you an invitation to allow you remote control desktop sharing of their device. According to Teamviewer, this only works on stock rom. I'm running stock MA7 rooted on my GN2 and it works great. Easy reliable connection, setup couldn't be simpler, and Android to Android remote control is great. And since no root is required, if you happen to buy a Samsung smartphone or tablet for your mom or dad, it's a great way to help them out when they call you for help!
