Contacts 3

Thu, 19 May 2011 04:23:02 +0000

Welcome to Contacts 3

From Honeycomb tablets to Cupcake phones, one app rules them all! You can upgrade or downgrade your phones/tablets and will be able to use the same elegant Contacts3 user interface.

★★★★★ FEATURES ★★★★★
* New Feature – make internet phone calls using popular apps: Sipdroid, Csipsimple or Google Sip. (Note: Google Sip is only available on some android 2.3 phones.) Internet calling is especially useful for many tablets that cannot make calls using the stock android contacts application. Check for additional information on setting up free internet calls using Google Voice at our facebook page http://contacts3.calpanda.com.
* It is the best app for searching your contacts/phonebook and call log.
* Tabbed Browsing – view phonebook/contact list, contact info and notes on different tabs
* With a few taps, you can easily locate friends by first name, last name or any combination of characters.
* It is easy to find all calls made to any of your friends.
* Simple and consistent user interface.
* Four user selectable color themes: blue, pink, green and purple
* High level of security for your notes
* No Call Log - at the end of a call, put you back on your contact screen rather than call log
* For android 2.2 and above, app can be moved to SD card

Contacts 3 runs on Android phones and tablets with Android 3.x back to Android 1.5 (Honeycomb, Gingerbread, Froyo, Éclair, Donut and Cupcake releases). It detects and optimizes based on your version of Android. For latest news, questions and discussions, visit our facebook page. Your suggestions and feedback are appreciated.

Contacts 3 uses a simple and yet powerful interface to manage your contacts (phone numbers, email addresses, IM, notes, etc.). The advanced search functions are major improvements over the stock Android search functions. Another interesting feature of Contacts 3 is that you can dynamically change the color themes. “Blue”, “pink”, "green" and "purple" color themes are provided.

With frequent news about security breaches on the internet, you may feel vulnerable leaving sensitive information in your contacts database. Contacts 3 lets you protect this information by locking (encrypting) the notes for your contacts. Once locked, those notes can only be viewed with Contacts 3 on your phone and not on the internet.

Contacts 3 is a free, ad-supported application. For the ad-free version, check out Contacts3 Pro.

Most of the user interface should be self explanatory. Please skim through the User Guide under Tools/Instructions.

We hope you enjoy this application and encourage us with
★★★★★ rating.

Please contact us (support@calpanda.com) before entering any negative remarks. We will work with you to resolve the issues. Suggestions for new features are welcome. We are committed to provide the best support.

Usage Notes:

Please note that this app requires that your phone/tablet has license for Google applications. If your device does not have a "Contacts" app, this app is unlikely to work on your device.

For Android 2.3 users, this app does not automatically clear "missed call" notifications as was done in earlier Android versions. This was because Google has added further security restrictions in the 2.3 release of Android. Users will have to clear the "missed call" notifications manually.

There was a reported problem of ringtones reset. The problem was investigated and found not to be caused by Contacts 3. This problem was in existence for years before Contacts 3 was available. Please google "gmail sync overwrites ringtones" for multiple discussions of this problem. Or, visit our Facebook page- http://contacts3.calpanda.com .

Network Info II (Donate)

Thu, 24 Jun 2010 20:19:32 +0000

Same as free version but I buy a cup of coffee :)

2.1+ version of "Network Info"
Shows info about the phone and the current network, Bluetooth, IPv6 and Cell connection.

It also shows your public/external IP & hostname.

Only goes on-line to get and resolve the public IP via my own server http://aschillings.co.uk/myscripts/getip.php and to remotely resolve it (see notes below). Initially the application was also using whatismyip.org but, as the server seems to be constantly down it was removed.

No ads.

>> Information shown <<
•Device IP and hostname, both private and public.

•Current mobile Cell and any neighbours, along with their signal strength, location info and type.

•IMSI/ IMEI.

•Information about the current mobile provider (MCC+MNC, current connection, etc.)

•The Android device unique ID.

•Full information regarding the WiFi connection (MAC, current SSID and BSSID, link speed, IP/Netmask, Gateway, DNS and DHCP servers, etc.)

•Your current location according to Android based on your network neighbours. No GPS is needed or used.

•Information regarding Bluetooth status, the current Bluetooth connection(s) and info about past pairings.

•IPv6 device and router IP addresses for all device interfaces (see notes, this should now work for everyone).

>> Notes <<
•This is an expansion of the 'Network Info' application, to support more phones based on the 2.1 Android API.

•I only have a GSM/UMTS phone. If anything funny happens on any other phone type, email me and I will try to fix it.

•This application will connect to the network only to fetch your external IP/Hostname (using http://aschillings.co.uk/myscripts/getip.php and http://aschillings.co.uk/myscripts/gethostname.php). No other information is sent (my policy is located below).

•Please email me about any bugs or features you want. I cannot see all market comments and I am not notified when someone does comment.

•The IPv6 part should now work for everyone. If that is not the case for you, please email me (aschillings.dev@gmail.com) so I can try to fix it. If possible, download 'Under the hood' from the market and send me the results via export.

•If you want to show the Vendor which owns a MAC address, download 'MAC (OUI) Database' from the market (it is one of my applications) and use it to download a copy of the OUI database.

•In version v0.5.2 I added remote hostname resolution which is your public hostname as is resolved by my server. It should be the same as your external hostname, unless there is a record propagation delay or your DNS server is lying (like some home routers which resolve their external address as a local hostname). My server is hosted by 1and1 so this will be unreliable if you use the same DNS servers.

•'Ext. Hostname (L)' is the hostname your device resolves your external IP (local resolve).\n

•'Ext. Hostname (R)' is the hostname my server resolves your external IP (remote resolve).

•'Field Test' is a hidden application which comes installed in HTC phones. The menu item will only appear if the 'Field Test' is installed in your phone.

>> Known Issues <<
Samsung devices do not display Neighbouring Cells. This is a problem in Samsung's Android implementation and there is nothing I can do.

>> Privacy Statement <<
I do not collect any information which can directly and uniquely identify and/or bind a user to a device or any other personal information. When you retrieve your external IP address, my server will log a standard website “hit” which is the same as if you browsed a page on my server using a browser. No other information is logged or kept.

***
Please email me with any bugs/problems/feature requests. I cannot reply to market comments which can make debugging difficult.
