Note

This is the last version (for Windows, Linux and macOS versions) that you can use premium features without having bought the Pro version for Android.

Also, from this version it will no longer be mandatory to update the application periodically. If you want to continue using the premium features without buying the Pro version of Android do not upgrade this version to a newer version.

Thanks for the update, we're working on an article about the issue some indie devs are having with Google Play. Will add your experiences.

Thank you so much.
[Android Apps and Games] jed84:
I would suggest splitting the functionality into two apps: one for file/clipboard/notifications sharing and one for managing text messages.

Or, if possible, to turn messaging functionality into a "plugin" (in addition to the main app), which would require different permissions?

Also, to restrict some functionality for file/clipboard/notification sharing in order to monetize it (And I am happy to pay!).

And please don't say, you are dropping the project - as for now, it puts a question in peoples mind if they should support it.

Google might be a ****, but hey, finding a different way and making additional adjustments is, unfortunately, a usual thing - shouldn't push you back on working on your great project.
[Android Apps and Games] easyjoin:
This will never happen. All features that are free now will remain free in any future update. I found a (partial) way to make features that are not free on the Android application not to be free on the Windows application as well (only on the future updates of the app), in order to align the various versions on the various operating systems, but that's it.

I'll evaluate the possibility to create an "empty" paid app for those who want to support with a lower price from that of the Pro version.

That's not gonna solve the problem.

You are right about it. I was so upset the other day when i saw Google's decision and i wrote this.

I'm gonna make a second request to have the needed permissions.

I'll try to find alternative ways to support the paid users.

I'll keep updating the free versions.

But i need your support. Send an email to Google Play team (googleplay-developer-support@google.com) saying that you use the Pro version (the app id is net.easyjoin.pro) to send SMS and you need the app to keep having the SMS and phone permissions. Send emails to Android sites to make them know that you care about it. Ask your online communities and forums to do the same.

SMS/Call Log permissions vs EasyJoin “Pro”: Round 2 - Some good news

After the first denial from Google (https://redd.it/9v84c7) I submitted a second “Permissions Declaration Form”.

Yesterday I received this response:

If I understand correctly, English is my third language, so please correct me if I'm wrong, the app was allowed to use the READ_SMS, SEND_SMS and RECEIVE_SMS permissions but has not allowed to use the permissions PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS and WRITE_SMS.

The good news is that a person checked the application and not a bot. He/she was right in denying the WRITE_SMS, was correct in giving the other SMS permissions and was wrong on denying the PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS.

Based on the use cases of the app, the WRITE_SMS permission is not used by the app. I thought, based on the documentation I had read back in time when I developed the SMS and phone call functionalities, that this permission was necessary but after I tested the app without it I verified that it is not. So, is my mistake that I included it in first place. In the past I had removed another two permissions from the app once I was sure that they was not necessary and i’m happy to remove another one.

The deny of the PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS remove two functionalities from the app: the user can’t mute the phone ring and can’t answer. The only available functionality is to hung up but i need to verify it better.

The bad news is that even if an application is in the group of applications that could get an exception this does not imply that it will get the exception.

Case close? No because the not granted permission is a problem that must be addressed.

hey found out about this app on reddit, and it looks very promising! i have two questions. when im not using the app will it still be running in ram (even if it is swiped from recents) and am i able to send links between android and windows/mac with the free versions. sorry if it ís a dumb question but i have not found a list which shows which features are available in the free version and which are available in the paid one. :cowboy:

I do not get any notifications (e.g. from WhatsApp) from my smartphone on the PC.

Both devices are marked as trusted in the settings (I have followed the steps in the FAQ)

Sending files works without problems.

A few more questions:

- Is it possible to reply directly to a WhatsApp message on PC (like in the app Join)

- Is it possible to get the position data of the smartphone and open a map with the marked point on PC (like in the app Join)

- a german translation of the windows app would be nice

- I think the second icon "File Browser" is not necessary

app: EasyJoin "Essential" 1.5.2

[Android Apps and Games] easyjoin:
The FAQ points that are related with the notifications are this (https://easyjoin.net/faq.html?3) and this (https://easyjoin.net/faq.html?8).

Yes.

There is no need since all devices are on the same network and in the same place where you are. The less data you share with an application, the better it is for your privacy.

Any contribution will be appreciate.

You can hide it from the settings.
[Android Apps and Games] update.freak:
Thank you. I found the mistake. This was the solution: Open the Android settings, select "Apps and notifications", expand "Advanced", select "Special app access", select "Notification access" and enable the switch for "EasyJoin". In Samsung Stock ROM it was not that easy to find.

Your right. That makes sense

[Android Apps and Games] easyjoin:
Start app on boot

Currently, the application always starts during startup, without being able to prevent it, except by removing the permission RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED, but not "permanently": the application could be stopped by the operating system if there are too many applications that start in the background.

Moreover, when the application captures a broadcast signal related to the arrival of an SMS, the connection to a WiFi network or if there is a notification, it starts the application in order to connect the device with the other available devices.

All this to make the application "install and forget" which is what most users (including me) require.

One of the new features of the next version of EasyJoin "Essential" and "Pro" will be the possibility to choose whether to start the application during the device startup and when it receives a broadcast signal.

If you choose to start the application during the startup the application will continue to work as it does currently with a single addition: the application will automatically start in the foreground and try to position itself in the background to show the home page of the device. This will further extend the "install and forget" feature.

If you choose not to start the application during device startup, the application will not only not start automatically during startup but also when it receives one of the broadcast signals mentioned above.
[Android Apps and Games] easyjoin:
WiFi hotspot & Android

One of the improvements in the next version of the application will be the management of the WiFi hotspot.

For versions 7 and earlier the behavior is like the current one: you can create a hotspot directly from the application, defining the name, password and other settings.

For version 7.1, since you can not open the hotspot from the application, the behavior is like the current one: when you choose to open the hotspot from the app, it opens a new popup activity where you can open the Android settings related to the management of the hotspot. You can configure the application to open the Android settings without going through the popup activity.

For versions 8 and above, since you can not open the "normal" hotspot from the application, there are two possible functionalities:

if the application has permission to use "coarse location" (ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) opens a "local hotspot" which has no internet access. For the local hotspot, the operating system does not allow to choose the name (SSID), the type of authentication and the password. To note that it's not possible to create a "local hotspot" in version 7.1 because the APIs are different.

if the application does not have the permission "ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" the functionality is like the one of version 7.1.

For versions 7.1 and newer all settings that cannot be used are hidden in the settings page.
