Not trying to start a fight, but you're saying that any non-open source system is questionable?

thats pretty neat. I didnt know anything about it and just did some reading. Looks like they have a base-station as well, and I dont know how legal that is unless they are broadcasting on public spectrum. When I made that statement, I was speaking more about an arduino DIY phone or a raspberry pi based phone. If one thinks the sim or GSM module are compromised, it can easily be replaced compared to destroying the entire phone (burner phone). understand, and I appreciate the discussion. Quote:

I just discovered MightyText. Basically, it syncs your texts with an online interface so that you can read/respond to your texts from your computer. I was getting tired of Google Voice never updating anything, and it's a nice alternative.

Set it up after seeing it on Lifehacker last night... I'll probably drop it if Google ever does the same with Hangouts or Voice (assuming it supported MMS, too), but I'm liking it so far.

Yeah, I'm in the exact same boat. I'd rather use Voice and keep it all under one system, but I've grown pretty tired of the lack of development on it over the years. There are plenty of rumors suggesting that Voice will finally be integrated into Hangouts in the summer, but for now, this will do nicely.

is MightyText better than AirDroid? I see a lot of their functionality overlaps.

Here's a decent review that compares a few similar apps. (There are many other reviews online, but both have added features lately that have made old reviews obsolete.) http://www.greenbot.com/article/2102...r-desktop.html Last edited by DaFace; 05-10-2014 at 09:14 AM.. |

In the last month, my S3 has slowed down to a crawl. It seems as if the memory is full, but its not. Apps taking many seconds to open. I don't want a new phone.

You might have an app that was updated and is now using more resources. Hold down the Home button, then select Task Manager. It will show all running apps, and how much RAM and CPU it's using. Monitor that and see if you notice any apps going crazy. Also go to Settings\Data Usage. Scroll down and it should show you a list of apps that have been using OTA data. See if any apps stand out as using considerable data.

You might try to uninstall it, then reinstall it. You can go to Chrome settings\Bandwidth Management and turn on "Reduce data usage".

Has to be an issue with Chrome unless you watch a lot of video via the browser or something is refreshing a lot... I'd make sure you're on the most current version and use the compression as Fish said. Syncing between devices crossed my mind, but that's still insanely high for a mobile browser.
Google Now will show up as Google Search under data usage.

Once the Android version of Cyber Dust is made available, I'll give it a try.
It automatically deletes your sent message 24 - 30 seconds once it has been opened by the person, and can block screen shots being taken of your message on most phone, but if one is taken it, it alerts you that one has been screen captured.
