Introduction
These instructions tell you how to set up communication between the Android and the desktop components of the notifier. The android application can communicate with your desktop in multiple ways, and you can enable more than one at the same time for better reliability.
Below you'll find details of setting up each method - all methods assume that you have installed both the Android application and the desktop counterpart.
Android application
To easily find the android app in the Android Market, you can scan this QR code:
Once installed, running it will display a preferences screen:
In this screen you can select your desired notification methods and events.
After the application is closed, notifications are handled by a background service which displays nothing on the device. The service can be started and stopped from the preferences screen, and by default, it will be restarted every time the phone is rebooted (to prevent that, simply disable "Start service at boot" in the preferences screen).
Mac note
Mac OS X does not have a built-in pop-up notification mechanism, so you must have Growl installed. Please see their page to download and install it.
Bluetooth method
This method opens a serial (RFCOMM) connection between the device and the desktop, so they need to be paired. Because the device is specifically paired to your computer, you don't need any specific network connectivity, and the bluetooth connection is guaranteed to be encrypted.
IMPORTANT: This method is only supported in Android 2.0 or later, due to the bluetooth API not being accessible in older versions. To see what version of Android you have, go to Settings > About phone > Firmware version - if it's less than 2.0, you'll have to use the wi-fi method instead
To set it up using this method:
- Install and run the Android app from the Android Market
- Install and run the Desktop app for your OS from the Downloads section above
- Ensure the android device is paired with your desktop (Settings > Wifi and networks > Bluetooth settings on Android)
- Enable the Bluetooth notification method on the android app's settings (enabled by default)
- Open bluetooth options in the android app's settings (see below for a description of each option)
- Enable the Bluetooth notification method on the desktop app's settings (enabled by default)
- The desktop app will listen to and start displaying events from the android app - try making your phone ring, or sending additional test notifications.
- You can now exit the android app - the notifications service will be running in the background by default
The presented bluetooth options are the following:
- Device pairing - select this to open Android's system bluetooth options, where you can pair your target device
- Target device - once your device is paired, select this option to send notifications to a specific device. If this is set to "Any device" (the default), the notifications will be sent to the first computer device found
- Auto-enable bluetooth - if enabled, notifications can be sent over bluetooth even if you keep it disabled - every time we need ot send a notification, we'll enable it, send the notification, then disable it again. The downside of this option is that it can take multiple seconds for the notification to actually be sent.
IP method
This method works by sending packets over the IP network - either Wifi or the 3G/HSDPA/UMTS/etc. cell phone data network. See notes below of each of these. The main downside of this method is that the communication is unencrypted (not more than your wifi's encryption, that is), meaning anyone with access to your wifi network will be able to intercept and forge notifications.
To set it up using this method:
- Install and run the Android app from the Android Market
- Install and run the Desktop app for your OS from the Downloads section above
- Ensure both the desktop and the device are on the same network
- If you have a firewall on your desktop, ensure it will allow incoming UDP packets on port 10600
- Enable the IP notification method on the android app's settings (enabled by default)
- Open the IP options in the android app's settings (see a description of the options below)
- Enable the IP notification method on the desktop app's settings (enabled by default)
- The desktop app will listen to and start displaying events from the android app - try making your phone ring, or sending additional test notifications.
- You can now exit the android app - the notifications service will be running in the background by default
The bluetooth options on the device are the following:
- Target IP address - this is the IP address notifications will be sent to. While the default (global broadcast) is sufficient for most cases, you may want one of the following options intead:
- Global broadcast - sends notifications to 255.255.255.255 (should work on most Wifi networks);
- DHCP broadcast - detects the DHCP configuration of your current Wifi network and uses its broadcast address for sending notifications. If no DHCP information is set (e.g. you're using a static IP), the notifications won't be sent;
- Custom address - allows you to type in a specific IP address or hostname to send notifications to (doesn't need to be a broadcast address). This is useful if your network doesn't allow broadcast packets, you want to prevent others in the network from receiving your notifications, or you want to send the packets over the cell phone data network.
- Send with UDP - sends the notifications over the less-reliable UDP protocol. This is the only acceptable method if using broadcast addresses.
- Send with TCP - only possible when using a custom target address, this sends notifications over the reliable (but slightly slower) TCP protocol (this is recommended if you'll be sending notifications over the cell phone data network)
- Send over cell network - this allows sending the notifications over the cell phone data network (3G/HSDPA/UMTS/etc) if Wifi is off. See notes below about properly setting this up.
- Auto-enable wifi - if you do not wish to keep your wifi on all the time with the above option, and can tolerate notifications being delayed by a few seconds, then this option will make Wifi be turned on whenever a notification needs to be sent, and then turned off again after it's been sent. The extra delay introduced is the time it takes for your phone to join a network. Also notice this is mutually exclusive with sending over the cell network - only one of these two actions is possible when Wifi is off.
- Wifi sleep policy - this is a system setting from android which controls when the Wifi will be turned off. By default, it's turned off whenever the screen is turned off - if you want to get notifications over Wifi when the screen is off, you probably want to change this default to either "never when plugged" or "never" - these options will consume a little more battery, but will ensure notifications are always delivered. Another option is to use the "Auto-enable wifi" option above.
Finally, you can choose on the desktop application to listen only to specific devices:
- Open the desktop app's preferences
- Under "Notifications can be sent by", choose "Only paired devices"
- Click the add button below the paired devices list to add a new device - it will show a dialog waiting for a test notification from the device
- Run the Android app, then choose "Sent test notification"
- The device is added to the paired devices list - you can edit its name for your own reference.
Sending over Wifi
When sending over Wifi, ideally both the phone and the desktop should be on the same network - if they are not, it's likely that these packets won't reach the desktop. Also, if you use a custom IP, make sure that IP won't change, or make your wifi router serves DNS names for internal DHCP clients and then use the computer's hostname.
Another important thing to notice is that by default, Android will turn Wifi off when the phone is sleeping (i.e. the screen turns off). See the "Wifi sleep policy" option above for details.
Sending over the cell phone data network
Setting up sending over the cell network is slightly more tricky, and in some cases may require more advanced setup on your network. The basic idea is that a packet sent from your device must be able to reach the computer running the desktop application over port 10600 (TCP and/or UDP, depending on which you enabled).
The two most common cases are:
- Computer connected directly to the internet (public IP) - in this case all you have to do is ensure the computer's firewall is set up to allow incoming connections on port 10600.
- Computer connected to a (wifi or wired) router, which is in turn connected to the internet - in this case you'll need to set up your router's configuration to forward packets on port 10600 to the computer you wish to receive the notifications. How this is done depends on your specific router, but will usually involve either setting a static internal IP (in the DHCP settings) for the computer or having your router serves internal DNS names for DHCP clients, then setting up port forwarding to that IP/hostname.
Also, if your ISP gives you a dynamic IP (which most do), you'll also not want to use the IP address directly - instead you want to register a dynamic DNS name which always points to your current IP. There are many free services which do this for you, such as the one at DynDNS. The details of setting this up are beyond the scope of this document.
USB method
This method is still under development, we'll update this doc when it's ready for general use.
is there, or will there eventually be, a method for sending SMS messages from the mac, using the phone as an SMS gateway? that would allow the app to double up as a nice little instant messaging app other than that concern, this app looks really useful and i will definitely be installing it once i get an android phone.
Yes there will. That's already in the TODOs (in the ChangeLog wiki), I just haven't gotten to it yet - I'm trying to get the linux version out right now and will do this afterwards.
Thank you for this helpful app , I will drop my phone in signal area and check my missing call :)
But Where is linux app ?
Any plans to be able to receive Growl message alerts from the Desktop Growl for alerts on Android phone?
Very nice app! waiting anxiously for the linux front end. thank you!
There is no desktop app for windows in the downloads section.
Seriously need a PC version of the app.
Im awfully new to Mac's and I'm wondering if theres a way to hide the icon in the Mac menu bar? Also, can I force the application to send messages over the web instead of within a wlan?
There is no download for windows in the download section...?
Where is the link for windows app ???
Finally got the link.. its here .. Havent tried it though .. but shud work i guess.. http://code.google.com/p/android-notifier-desktop/downloads/list
Hi, This isnt working for me. I am using 2.1 on a droid x. I have paired my mac with my phone. I have growl installed. And I dont get any notifications. IDk if it matters, but when i look at bluetooth on both my phone and on my computer they say, paired but not connected (basically). Any ideas? Thanks
Is there any way to automate it. Say I'm sitting at my laptop and have it enabled and walk away out of range of bluetooth, will it see that and fall back to letting the notifications come on the phone?
I'm having the exact same problem as xfire.ourcolony and I would really like to start using this application.
Please help!
Work great! Thanks!!!
this is awesome. Will there ever be a way to respond to SMS/MMS messages by clicking on the growl notification? that's my dream app
Notifications appear randomly. When they do, I get battery life updates, and old VM message notifications, which I guess is fine. SMS message notifications are spotty at best. I have a great WiFi? signal on both my phone and laptop.
ooo, hanging for usb notify.
Can I respond to the text on my Windows PC?
@xfire.ourcolony
I'm having the same problem as you. The little bluetooth icon in the menu bar of my mac book flashes the connection icon when I send a test notify, but it seems like there is a disconnect between it and growl. Also tried a few SMS's, to no avail.
Droid Inc, v2.2 Macbook Pro 2.4ghz 10.6
I'm having the same problem as rocktakesover and xfire.ourcolony. I'm on a Samsung Vibrant running, 2.1 firmware.
How can you answer text messages and so on? I just see a notification of them.
I'm having the same "Paired but not connected" problems as the other guys. Droid running 2.2 and Macbook Pro 10.6. Thanks for any help you can provide.
Connected b/w droid X and MBP but test notification does not appear on screen. Growltunes seems to be working fine. Is there something specific you have to do in growl to allow the pop-ups to be displayed from your phone. I'm using the bluetooth connection. thanks.
I am having the same problem as the above 2: (turner.barnes & Preston.Schraeder)
Well, I managed to get it to work. Btw, the directiosn are not clear. The directions for mac would make you believe you just need growl, you do need the app for mac (under downloads) with growl installed.
And after i installed that i was still having problems, my phone had reseted and it started working.
Started working for me too :)
bluetooh not working for me. i can see data is transferring but no pop up. i have an EVO on 2.2 MBP with growl. wifi works but dont want to use it just in case im in a public area with wifi and someone using this they might be able to see my messages.
how do i set up growl to receive notifications? I can see it through the system default but not growl
@scotteik36 : open growl preferences-->Application tab, you should be able to see the "mac notifier" app there. If you dont se it there, the easiest way is to restart your machine. I had the same problem. I restarted Droid X and MBP, now it works flawlessly.
i cant find the app in the marketplace
Try to search for "remote notifier" or simply scan the bar code on top of this page w/ and bar code scanner.
it would be better if we can set the port number instead of default 10600
Excellent found this from Lifehacker article.
If you cannot find it on the Market. Copy the link to the page and email it to yourself or from your phone find the download page from your browser and install it from there.
for USB you can just use a TCP tunnel. $adb forward tcp:PORT tcp:PORT and have your PC app connect to that port.
I'm also having problems with bluetooth. on HTC Desire with 2.1 and Linux Notifier app. Wifi does work, but I'd rather use Bluetooth. Any ideas?
No windows app...
Same problems here with BT connection. I can see the device sending test notification and it pairing with my macbook at that time but no growl notification. Growl setting has macnotifier on its list and nothing. any ideas how to fix this?
I also tried reseting both the mac and my evo to see if it would work but no dice...
Same problems with Macs/Bluetooth as described. Growl reports the connection, but nothing from the notifier app. App is listed in Growl preferences, phone is paired with Mac.
HTC Incredible running Froyo, MacBookPro? running Snow Leopard.
Same problem as everyone else, Evo with 2.2, MacBookPro? 10.6.4, growl shows the notifier, the only thing I can see that looks like its wrong is that on my bluetooth settings it shows my phone as paired but not connected, when I pair it it is connected at first, but then goes red/disconnects on the MBP side
Installing on Win7 x64, but the app thinks I'm running 32 bit, so the icon won't show up? Anyone?
Wheres the PC-version?
Using HTC Desire which is up-to-date and a Macbook. Paired my Desire with my Macbook, installed MacDroidNotifier? and Remote Notifier for Android.
Opened Settings and tried to select my Desire to be the only phone to send notifications. When i send a test notification i can see the bluetooth symbol in the topbar changing (symbolizes that there is a device connected) but MacDroidNotifier? does not recognize the sent notification.
I think it would be nice to add support for multiple Custom IP addresses (or hosts). Atleast 2, so I can have one at home and at work without using the broadcast options.
Seconded on the multiple custom IPs, or even is it possible to do multiple bluetooth connections? I'd like to receive notifications at my desktop/htpc/laptop, any and all depending on which are on or which I'm looking at.
Great application!
http://code.google.com/p/android-notifier-desktop/ Desktop versions for those having trouble finding them.
Same as everyone else, sends via bluetooth but no notification on the desktop.
First off, awesome work guys! I discovered a small issue with notifications when receiving a call and you're not connected to wifi. Due to the limitations of CDMA not being able to have a data connection and phone call at the same time the notification is never received. Not sure what can be done to circumvent this. Perhaps just resorting to a notification if the call is missed, that would be more relevant in some cases than an incoming call. Works great when on wifi though!
Can't wait for the USB mode!!! Awesome work guys.
where we can found win version?
fyi - android market says it cannot find app using qr code via barcode scanner
so you are using UDp :\\ cant adb foward that. will wait for an update!
Forgive me, but what is the difference between the two protcols? (Growl, etc?) D1 Froyo 2.2
im having problems with the bluetooth. the mac never gets a notification when i send a ping.
Same as the above. Sending through bluetooth but Desktop app not recognizing. Any ideas?
Windows version can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/android-notifier-desktop/downloads/list
I have a problem after install (32-bit Windows) though... an error pops up and says failed to bind to 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0:10600
This didn't work for me at first. When I selected "only receive notifications from these devices" in the OSX app, and I clicked the add button.. it would find the device. However, no notifications would show.
I rebooted both my macbook and android phone and now it works perfectly.
I have the same problem as anthonyf with my PC, I tried to reboot and still the same problem
For everyone with issues, try a reboot of both the phone and the PC to get everything working. Also the device needs to be paired but not connected for it to work. I spent a lot of time trying to get the device to "connect" when I didn't need to, just reboot and everything was fine.
Running windows 7 64 bit, works over WIFI. (Haven't tried bluetooth yet) My phone is the Droid X.
One suggestion, can we have an option on the desktop side to see a list of notifications that came through? Reason being is that if my phone is in my bag and I walk away for any reason, when I get back I can look through all my missed notifications instead of being surprised once I look on my phone.
There is an option to send over cell network and I can enable it but nothing goes through. I set up my IP address and unchecked "auto-enable wifi" but nothing. Is this a soon to be implemented feature then? I second the feature from Mark.Szcz, a list of missed notifications is a great idea.
@dlaciv12 thanks man. It only makes sense, right when I set my phone up I walked away to get a glass of water and I recieved a text message but didnt see the notification application on my desktop indicate I missed anything but my phone was blinking. =\
galaxy s + macbook pro 10.5.8 + bluetooth
no notifications recieved
Tried to use it with Android 2.1 and Windows XP over WiFi?, but I don`t get notifications, there is just a short sound. Restartet both my Motorola Milestone and my computer.
Cool application. Seems to work well with HTC Hero 2.1 + Ubuntu 10.04. But translation to russian is very poor. I can offer my help with it, if needed.
Not to be a downer, but I don't want to leave wifi or bluetooth on all the time; its a waste of batteries, and if it were nearby enough to work over bluetooth, I coudl just pick up the phone and look at it. Sorry, but until this can notify my pc over 3g, its pointless.
Yea alitman86, cause 3G connects to your comp.
You can change settings so it only send to you when you're home. If bluetooth is too short of a distance for you to justify it, then use WiFi?.
Great app,
It'd be amazing if it could send texts from a PC.
Reporting similar non-functionality. MBP 10.6.4, Droid Incredible 2.2, devices are "paired but not connected", notifier app enabled in Growl. No notifications seem to be transmitted from phone to computer. Restarting both devices did not help.
Reporting similar non-functionality... Motorola Droid 2.2 & Mac 10.5.8. Devices are paired, will connect and send to Bluetooth on the Mac. Notifier app is enabled in Growl, no notifications are received. Have restarted both devices and recently upgraded to notifier .3.
Problem: Norton Security Smart Firewall blocks this Android Notifier from working... When I disable Norton Security for 15 minutes the android Desktop notifer works perfectly on my Windows XP Pro 32 bit computer How can I keep Norton Security Suite "Smart Firewall" "ON" and have the android Notifer "ON" adn function as well ???? Any Help would be appreciated... Thanks
I get an error that I need 64 bit java on my mac (make sure you are using the correct version 32 or 64 bit for your system. Both the operating system and java have to be 64...), but "java -version" indicates, I think that I have 64 bit. java version "1.6.0_20" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_20-b02-279-9M3165) Java HotSpot?(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 16.3-b01-279, mixed mode)
If not, any suggestions how I might upgrade. I already rely on Growl for other notifications and would love to get notificatons working.
It would be great if this could integrate into desktop functionality... e.g. do something when found/connected/operation happens.
turn up volume, pause a/v shrink open apps, home automation functionality (x-10, smart home, etc.)
Very nice start though!
BlueTooth? multi-tasking need on HTC EVO (wish-list) my android EVO phone has Blue-tooth active for my Plantronics 975 Blue-tooth ear set and when I'm home for my Panasonic wireless home phone system with has Blue-Tooth connectivity active so my HTC EVO 4G mobile phone , when home is connected via Blue-tooth to my new panasonic home wireless landline phone system , but only (1) bluetooth connectivity can be assined to work at once and hooking Android Notifier via Blue-Tooth would not work becasue the higher priority is my wireless Panasonic Deteck 6.0 corless home landline phone / bluetooth enabled
Wish Somebody could PLEASE invent provision multi-path or multi-function Bluetooth functionality on my Bluetooth HTC EVO android mobile phone , who know maybee that path would be blocked by Norton Smart Firewall as well... Thanks !!!
Like vilshoefer, I only here a short shound when using WiFi?, but no notification. Bluetooth does not work at all. Have paired the bluetooth devices, and rebooted. HTC Hero 2.1 and Windows XP SP 3.
I'm having issues with my desire and macbook running 10.5. The bluetooth icon changes but no notification :(
MBP running OS 10.6.4, Samsung Captivate running Android 2.1.1. Same Bluetooth problem as everyone else. Been using Growl for a while now without problems, and I can send files back and forth between my Android and Mac via Bluetooth, no issues. Test pings haven't worked at all.
Uninstalling until devs figure out how to read the comments on their app. If it works unpredictably for one half and not at all for the other half, to me it's effectively broken.
MBP running 10.6.4, HTC Incredible running Android 2.2, remote notifier version 0.2.5, macdroidnotifier version 0.2.7
doesn't show any notification over bluetooth. device paired but not connected. hae tried sending test notification, nothing appears. it is enabled in growl.
also, the menu bar icon for macdroidnotifier intermittently stops showing "settings" as an option when you click on it.
Same problem as a lot of these guys have mentioned.. nothing over Bluetooth despite device being paired and connected to my Macbook and Growl installed. Frustrating. I could be doing something wrong tho
I have the same problem, I'm trying to connect by HTC Evo to my laptop and it says Paired but not connected, same problem with the bluetooth in my car :(... my husband also has the same phone and both of us are having the same issues.... :( any answer for this problem?
What exactly I'm affecting or changing when I tick or untick the box "Private mode" on the Desktop Notifier Preferences? Thanks
Private mode will not show contact details like name, phone number, etc.
Instead of commenting in this page, you can send emails to our user group: http://groups.google.com/group/android-notifier
works when i send a ping but doesnt work when i try with a text (sleeping or not sleeping)
You have to make sure you download the Desktop Notifier as well or else it wont work.
Nice piece of software. Keep up the good work!
This IS awesome, good job! :thumb up: note: It would be cool to have a log of all the notifications. i.e. it would show that phone rang at this time from this number etc.
Notifications do not work on Growl for me. They'll show up using the default display, but I like the look of Growl better. I've tried both wifi and bluetooth. Any ideas?
MacBook? Pro/15, Snow Leopard, MacDroidNotifier?, Remote Notifier 0.2.8, BT only, auto-enable on, customized Growl 1.2.1, HOW DID I EVER WORK WITHOUT THIS?? Great job, guys.
Works fine on Incredible with 2.2 and Windows 7 Pro. It only displays a little popup on the taskbar, but that's better than nothing.
I'm having trouble getting notifications over WIFI. Running Froyo on an EVO with Mac OSX. what do i have to do?
I've tried just about everything... But I'm also having trouble with the BT... Just wish I knew what I was missing.
nothing works. really unreliable. worked for 5 minutes then stopped. tried everything. mac
Get ping so know I am connected but nothing else
Took a few minutes of fiddling but works with my N1 2.2 & laptop with Win7 64 bit. This will be extremely useful.
they are not a zip version I have lost the administrator password...
please help me...
Firstly GREAT JOB!! I LOVE THIS APP!! I have a question though, I have a lenovo and was wondering if I can reply to texts (SMS/MMS) from my laptop?
I'm using it on WiFi? and have an EVO.
THANKS in advance! And again GREAT JOB!!!
Fantastic work, well done!
I have an Android 2.2 on a Galaxy S with Android Notifier 0.2.8.
It seems it's reporting only the battery state and the incoming calls. The SMS is not displayed.
Yes, the SMS has a checkbox as well.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance, Adam
it will work with internet enabled samsung tv (40c650)? thanks
For Growl windows with Notifier: 1. Install Growl for windows http://www.growlforwindows.com/gfw/apps.aspx 2. Install Android Notifier on PC & Workstation 3. Enable WIFI & BLUETOOTH ON NOTIFIER ON PHONE 4. In GROWL SECURITY - ENSURE THAT YOU CHECK ALLOW NETWORK NOTIFICATIONS & FROM WEBSITES 5. ON PC ADD DEVICE BY CHOOSING RECIEVE NOTIFICATIONS FROM THESE DEVICES 6. SEND TEST NOTIFICATION FROM PHONE 7. VOILA 5.
Great stuff. You should get this on flattr: https://flattr.com/ ...and include a button inside the app: http://www.dafer45.com/android/for_developers/including_a_flattr_button_in_an_application.html :)
My nexus S and my laptop are both connected to my wireless router and I have internet access on both devices. I want to setup the notifications to run through my wireless router. It just doesn't seem to be working, but would love if I could make it happen. I'm also running linux right on my the computer right now.
I've gotten it to work through Bluetooth, but would rather much have it work through both Wifi and 3G. Firewall is off and I followed the guide exactly. Can anyone help?
Sounds nice, run without problem, but notification via bluetooth doesn't work. Computer don't receive any information from phone.
What's the ETA on USB method? Thanks.
Dear Rodrigo - I hope all is well! I see on the Market comments that many others have had the same problem with Remote Notifier App that it stops working after a while. I think i have the SOLUTION! I think Android is killing the service after a period of time because it is running in the BACKGROUND. i think Remote Notifier needs to run in the FOREGROUND in order for it to not be killed! How is this accomplished? i'm hoping that selecting "Show Notification Icon" in Menu-->Notification Service--->Show Notification Icon keeps Remote Notifier running in the FOREGROUND. Can you confirm this? (I am still testing). I know that the App "Tasker" works the same way. Tasker gives you the option of having the notification icon but it mentions that for the application to run in the foreground Android requires a a notification icon, and that you might want to have tasker run in foreground as it make it less likely to be destroyed by Android if resources become constrained. This is probably the reason some other applications must have a notification icon.
What do you think? If this is the fix you should keep it in the foreground as DEFAULT and you will see less complaints about the app failing.
THANKS AGAIN FOR THE GREAT SOFTWARE AND FOR YOUR HARD WORK!!!!!
JDS
Having the same issue with it not providing notifications for anything except battery.
Notification via wifi isn't working for me... Set up everything as described. Samsung Galaxy 3.
hi. i use wifi and cell network, both ways are working as described. i wrote some extra batch stuff to define more specific actions. everything is possible :) but one suggestion: i would like to start the app automatically once wifi or cell network ist startet. vice versa if i stop wifi or cell the app is stopping too. if you know a way to do let me know. thanks.
hi, thanks for this great app! just wondering when gnome 3.0 support will come. or if it is already working?
Hi guys, app worked great so far but after updating my ubuntu to 11.04 there is no icon in unity and now I am unable to set up desktop side. Is there any chance to set it up without GUI?
if usb, just need listen to the port created by adb.exe forward....
Get the test ping ok but nothing else.
Trying to use WiFi? and IP
It seems to work with everything except google voice... and no luck on gmail either...
Make it two-way...
When an SMS notification arrive, there is nothing that can beat the feeling of replying back via the same interface (by clicking that same pop-up notification or something
I am new to Android. Loaded desktop on PC. When phone rings or email is delivered, I get what looks like a mini mp3 player control with play/pause, ff, rw, etc. Is this what I'm supposed to see?
scott
I install android notifier, and I have a mysterious problem. My log file, is right and all notifications are there. Example:
2011-09-06 03:12:50,512 INFO NotificationManagerImpl? - Notification received: notificationId=40528958670803887, type=Battery
But in my PC, the notification doesn't show
i'm having so much trouble connecting the remote notifier from my phone to the desktop. i can't work out how to do it. could i have abit of help please??
I am a developer of Android and Mac OS.
Is there anything I can help?
Very nice ap! Any plans to do Twilio or an Open VBX plugin? Notifo was useful for that, but is going away.
Nice! but one problem: the windows desktop client (v0.5.1) listens on port 10700; how do I change that to 10600 (better yet, can I change ports on the server device? and the client desktop?)?
Notifier stop to send notification after a while, even if the "foreground" option is enabled. Really sad :/
I would like to customise the notify delay and the time before it disappears.
Maybe it is a very simple thing to implement.
I use Ubuntu 11.04.
Bye
Would you guys be able to implement using a Google account with the phone and desktop to communicate?
Instead of a using a specific IP, use a specific device on an account?
Thanks...
nope, no dice... android 2.1 ==> vista via bluetooth, wireless
