Is there any app ( like reQALL, which isn't that user friendly) in which I can send reminders to my friend ( of course if they've installed the same app ) .
e.g: If I've to remind him to call some one at a particular time
I'm using the good old method now, Saving reminder in my mobile and calling him to check with that person
I think I 've asked this question at wrong time.
Looks like i've asked this question at the wrong time where in every one ( including me ) were closely tracking ICS instead of the forum
I'm surprised
I'm surprised to see no replies from XDA . I really thought I will get some answer
Ummm, send a text message. If you need, there are apps that allow you to type a message and have it sent at a particular time.
I'm a bit confused about why you would need an app for this? Can your friend not make a note/calendar entry/alarm for themselves?

Thanks for the reply Jane. Say Suppose if I want to send it to a group of people ( with Android phone and the app installed in all their mobiles), where in I set an appointment and send it to all of them , a notification pops up whether you want to update your calendar Yes/No . Clicking a Yes makes an entry in his mobile? some thing on this line.
And to answer your other question, Yes he can set a alarm /reminder as well. All the Apps are the just Ideas of making things easy isn't it?
Replying again to push my thread up , Really sorry for the spam I just want the thread to be seen by developer who knows about this .
Suggestion:
Make a Google account, let your friend(s) to sign in. Once you set reminder, everyone will get.
A yay for you?

Thanks for the replies.
I thought I will get some real answers, instead all I've got was workarounds and suggestions. thanks for that anyways.
I will Keep the thread alive for one more day and I will close it, i don't want to spam .
I think this is one kinda app which is not in existence, Developers can take this idea and they can build one if they want it

Hello guys,thanks in advance for the help.
So,the thing is this:I installed facebook app on my new galaxy 2 (android version 4 something,icecream sandwitch I bellieve it is).
Soon enough,I see that people one after another keeps adding me as friends when I didn't send them no friend request.It was really weird,and I only understood that those are folks from my phone book after the fifth person who accepted my friend request.
Naturally,I really don't want the app to do that,who the hell wants their folks in their facebook?Moreover,I have people there which I really have no desire to have on my facebook.
Is there any way to stop this madness,or at least have a choice whom to add and whom don't?

Personally, I dont use facebook app on my phone, because it's crap.
However, try to disable, facebook contact sync in the app settings. that should fix the problem
I have been trying to get Google Now to tell me what my next appointment is but all it ever seems to do is web search and not actually look at my google calendar. I do get cards that show me what my appointment is when i open Google now but it does not speak them to me when i ask. does anybody know what i am doing wrong?
It will speak to me if i ask it "how tall is Barack Obama?"
I have made sure that everything is set to English US, even though it does speak to me in the Australian voice if i have it set to English (Australia) it still does not answer my question? When is my next appointment??? I don't know where i need to be next so please help??
Seriously, i am not overly impressed with google now at the moment and was expecting a bit better integration with the rest of the phone and accounts on it.

Svoice will do it but that means using 2 different voice apps when it should all be in the 1.

They're both on your phone anyway no? Just use whichever one suites your needs at the time. Google now to find out how tall Obama is, lol, and svoice for the other stuff.
I'm sure it'll work fine either when it's updated or when official jb is out and Samsung have coded it properly or whatever needs doing.
I'm experiencing similar problem but worse. Everything I'm asking to do or just ask simple questions - Google Now do simple web search... I set everything in English but with no luck.

Same issue here.
Just a thought;
do you use 's planner' and does it sync to google account? If it doesn't sync, google now might not have access to s planner to get the data from phone directly. Hence why s voice would work...
me too i'm not that impressed of google now as of now
been trying earlier all it can do is search in the web for pretty basic things like how old,how tall,who wins, who this is.etc but can't add an event to my calender

Hi all, u need to speak "when is my next appointment?" Instead.
I just had the same problem which is how I found this, and when I tried again saying "when is my next appointment" rather than "what is my next appointment" it worked. A lot of times its about ur word choice. So try when instead of what.

Sweet you were totally right on with this. I got to this thread because Now sent me to just a web search when I asked "What is my next...". When I followed your advice GNow did exactly what I wanted. Thanks!

Correct me if I;m wrong, but isnt the point of Google Now to automatically bring these appointments to your attention, and not have to ask or search for the information you need? I should not have to ask Google Now when my next appointment is, it should be there like the pesky how far it is to my home in traffic card, that i dont need since its the exact same drive every single day 5 days a week. Why will these appointments now ushow up on their own cards by them selves as they should via Google Now?
Sintax error
The problem is how you word the question I just tried it myself instead of saying "what is my next appointment" say "when is my next appointment" and it will work perfectly.
"What's my next meeting" is working :cyclops:
It gets better

I know when I tried it didn't work but because google is constantly improving the service I would say that the vocabulary that Google now understands is constantly expanding. Like the other day I found out if you say "what's the weather" it will only give you the current temperature but if you say "what's the weather today" it gives current temperature and the daily forecast.

Hehe cool, any other hints like that one?
Google just recently in included this question along with other features such as gmail integration in the latest iteration of Google now.
First go to the Google play store and search "Google search"; update if avalible
Next go into Google now (swipe up from bottom) and say "Google!" (Wait for the beep) "When is my next appointment?"
Do not use conjunctions like when's or what's my next appointment; Google will not recognize these.
Hope this helps!
Dear All
I'm sure everybody had this already that he got calls from unwanted numbers, and they don't stop.
I usually use blacklist pro (bought version) with android 4.1.1 it doesn't work currently, probably it has something to do with pdroid, i'm using a cyanogen rom.
Anyway..
So far i'm more intrested in call forwarding instead of blocking.
I am locking for an app which can forward this annoying caller to another number, or all numbers which are not in my contact list.
so far i couldn't find an app doing exactly this what I wanted to.
(It does not matter if the forward counts on my own phone bill, because i've got flat anyway...)
so does someone know an app for this?
would this anyway technicaly be possible?

well all those so called 'Call blocking or forwarding' apps available on stores are not compatible enough to wrk efficiently with JB based roms, due to lack of upgradation of those apps from there developer's
so ICS based roms r better for ur issue, since they can support those apps

I try staying nice and calm but it's hard not getting mad..
So listen, I don't post stupid questions in a form because i'm lazy or i can't use google. In reality i've been searching such an app which exactly supports my needs for few hours, i've also tested few apps, but sadly my search was unsuccessfull.
Considering that the world is full of noobs posting sometimes unhappy,not well explained or just unintelligent posts I can partially understand your replies.. PARTIALLY!
But this is a Question and Answers forum and you do NOT have to write me "use google there are lot of apps and search the one for your needs"
If you CAN'T give a competent answer do not reply!
If you do not understand what exactly has been requested, read the topic until you do and then reply only if your answer is competent!
Now please do no more post reply on this thread you're not hitting the topic anymore and you can't help further!!
If somebody knows an App which exactly fullfills my needs, feel free to post it..

Have you found such an app? I am also in search.

Same here @ OP
Would really appreciate a response.
The OP's outrage at being told to use Google is just as hilarious as it was almost two years ago.
I just want to be able to forward calls from specific contacts (not send to voicemail). I currently have all undesired callers automatically hung up on.
Hi frnd,
I found out a method which works perfectly for me....Hope this will be useful for u as well.
first add the particular number from which u don't want to receive calls to a call blocking list app.( i used cm security app)
second, go to your call settings, and enable 'call forward when busy' to your any other number or to which number u want the calls to forward
That's It...now if the blocked number called u, it will get hang up and automatically redirected to another number..
I'm looking for an application that answering machine for my Galaxy Note, but I can not find it.
You know of any application that works well?

voicemail lol
Google?

Not google. Voicemail of your provider!
I already look for that.
I dont think you can.
Voice mail is the best choice you have.
some japanese android phones(like my sh-12c) have build in answering machine , not sure but maybe someone already made some good port !?
u can set the answering machine time when to pickup and to 3 different modes (normal,drive and manner)
there is an example video http://app-coming.jp/ja/articles/detail/64
i really love this function and miss this on my galaxy note T_T

Yes that would be great i used to have this on my Simbian phones voice mails are recorded straight to your device
someone attempted this on windows mobile but not Android yet (perhaps to many restrictions )
I was also looking for this type of application recently. Used to love this on my symbian but was shocked when i realised this had not been done fro droid as yet.
Is there a reason why it seems "impossible" on Android? Many of us have to PAY for voicemail and PAY with our minutes for retrieving voicemail!
And to those who would replay that this is a legal/privacy issue (like I've read elsewhere), I say, why should I trust my voicemail to my phone company or, God forbid, to Google?
Ridiculous omission
I want the same thing for my Note2, and for my S2 before that. It is a complete joke that Android does not have it built in. It is one area where Symbian is superior to Android. At the moment my only options are to have my provider turn off voicemail and refuse all messages, or to have them pile up which is incredibly inconvenient - if I have a meeting with somebody and they leave me a message there is no way I can go through a dozen messages to get to the latest one (especially without pen and paper to hand). Not to mention my provider does not even give me the phone number of the person that left the voicemail.
I've been waiting years for a simple voicemail app. It's pathetic one hasn't appeared. Even my Sony Z5 had it over a decade ago.

so my already saying in the "sh-12c root thread" lets make an own answering machine apk based on the japanese sharp one which worked fine for me in germany.
if everyone have same network talk flatrate and just my answering machine app take the call instead of me and record the saying... its free for everyone. ..

and again I'm not alone in this search...yeah I'm a precious symbian user too
and here I was thinking that I'm prolly not using the right keywords to search
BTW we even had a software to set up an IVR on our phone in symbian
Count me in, I tried a couple of apps... They don't work quite as you expect though
+1 for answering machine app.
Sadly, I don't think it's an option on regular Androids due to either hardware or programming constraints. Doubt it's due to lack of user interest.
Hmmmm, maybe it's conspiracy by telco provides so they can rake in more $$$$.? (reaches for tin foil hat)
Again, for the benefit of the head scratchers out there ... Voicemail is NOT a free god given right to all phone users in the world. It costs money with some service providers. Hence the desire for "in phone" answering machine application.
hullo mail is a voice mail app that I use. It works in Ireland, the UK and America I think.

Voicemail
you should be able to use your voicemail.
It's said in the thread name. Is that normal or what should I do to get it right? I tried to search this subject but it's impossible to search as the search words are too common and I can't filter out the results I need. Please enlighten me in the subject matter...
Thanks in advance.
P.S. It was also hard to put this thread in appropriate forum, so if I have mistaken in that regard, mods please relocate the thread.
So nobody even knows is this normal or not?
Nobody uses Google Now?
So, 53 views - from which I guess 3 I can write on my own account - and nobody from 50 people uses Google Now... Really? That can only mean two things. Google has seriously f..ked up with the service, I mean if even one out of 50 people doesn't use it, it's definitely a fail. Or, a more probable reality is that not a single user from those 50 who actually has ever tried Google Now bothered to answer my question. This is EPIC fail, dear XDA-Developers Forum. It's not the community it used to be, where it was meant that users support each other. And that's really sad.
When I say view email it opens the stock mail app.
