Great App/Service!

I have EasyJoin running on my Android 10 and Windows 10. If i get a message on my phone and interact with it in the popup on my PC (mark as read, delete Email, etc) phone display goes on. How can i prevent this?
[Android Apps and Games] easyjoin:
It' s acting like this because it's the only way to get the action done when the phone screen is off. Due to how Android works since version 9 - I couldn't try it on version 8 but it's possible that it happens in this version too - if the app doesn't turn on the screen the action is not triggered.

Hi, I contacted Microsoft and they told me they're trying to fix the problem. Now, when I try to download the Pro version (an msi file) it doesn't give me any warning. But the Go version still gives the warning: for this reason, only on Edge browser, when you click to download the Go version, you download a zip file containing the msi file. Can you update me if it works the same way for you?

Feature request: If try to send a file like a picture to an offline device it gets aborted on Android. Maybe caching files and send automatically if device gets online?
[Android Apps and Games] easyjoin:
I tried it, but it seemed to cause more problems for the users than the convenience it offered. For example, some users complained that the app sent files to devices without being requested and only after analyzing the case with them they remembered that they sent the file when the device was off line.

Sorry but hey, if i want send something than it is.. and if i forgot this, ok. My problem or?

That's also same behavior like with Pushbullet.

Maybe another Android notification with:

Device offline, waiting for device...

Cancel sending | Hide Notification

Little mistake in the Windows registry: Software/EasyJoin
[Android Apps and Games] easyjoin:
Hi there!

I would like to share with you that from now on this version of EasyJoin will only receive security and stability updates.

Considering the features that this version offers for free and without ads, I believe that it already has everything a person could need to connect a PC with a phone to transfer files, share notifications and clipboard and all other available functionalities.

For now, you can get the latest version from XDA-labs.

Since XDA is in renovation and it is not known if XDA-labs will be available in the future, if it will no longer be available the apk will be published on another site and I will keep you updated about it.

I would like to thank you all for the support and suggestions that have allowed me to improve this app over time.

Hello [MENTION=8401881]easyjoin[/MENTION]

Your app is really lovely. However I have a one issue. I use Essential version with four devices: Windows PC, Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e, Xiaomi Mi Note 10 and Xiaomi Redmi Note 4. All of them can be easily paired except the connection between Redmi Note 4 and Mi Note 10. Whatever I do, they don't detect each other. I read the online FAQ, but still I can't find the cause. Are you able to provide me with any hint? I can provide some more additional info or logs if necessary

Have you tried to renew encryption keys?
[Android Apps and Games] Lord Sithek:

[Android Apps and Games] easyjoin:
I presume that they have never connect with each other and are not in the "Trusted" list. Try to reboot all devices and also the access point. If still doesn't connect you can try to uninstall and install the app on the devices.
[Android Apps and Games] Lord Sithek:
Yeah, they have never seen each other even. That's weird, no problem with other devices... Thanks for the answer, I'll try what you advised

---------- Post added at 04:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:44 PM ----------

Nope. I did everything and unfortunately they don't want to get along with each other ?
[Android Apps and Games] easyjoin:
The last thing to check is if they are both connected on the same SSID. Most access point keeps devices isolated when connected on different SSIDs, i.e. one at 2.4GHz and the other on 5GHz. And with that i'm out of suggestions.
[Android Apps and Games] Lord Sithek:
[MENTION=8401881]easyjoin[/MENTION] Figured it out finally! The one thing I didn't do before was to manually type and search IP number. Once done, they found each other instantly! :D

Sorry for bothering and thanks for the great app. I'm going to use for some time and if all be suiting my needs, I consider buying pro :)

By the way: I wonder if I'll be able to use EasyJoin in my workplace. They have a strict safety rules and I won't be able to install any software on the PC or even a browser extention. I found portable version and it looks promising, but I'm not sure if I'll be even allowed to run executable file there... (will check on Monday) Any chances for browser-page only solution? I know that some similar apps use that kind of solution

One last question about the Windows app:

If i want to add a new device then its ok if i can then enable the discovery.

Also the devices which i use is limited and under known devices accepted so i didnt need a new ip scan. Would be good if there is an option to disable/enable auto discover devices.

I submitted an update of the app to receive the following email from Play store:

As you can imagine, this is an error on the part of Play store. The app does not send the data in question, or any other user data, to a server.

The data, specifically SMS and contacts, is read by the app to allow the user to share it with another of his/her devices, without going through external servers but directly.

One of the reasons people pay to have this app is precisely so they can share their data without going through external servers. This is very clearly highlighted at the privacy policy, app description, and site.

Can I be ironic by saying that maybe this concept, i.e., that you can make two devices talk to each other without going through a server external to them, is not clear to Google since they live from user data? Yes, I can be ironic (I got you, the question was rhetorical) since instead of sleeping at this time (23:00) I am dealing with Google's bull****.

Now I have to wait 2 to 7 days to know how it went with the appeal. In the meantime, "New users can't find and install your app, and existing users won't receive updates.".

And who knows how that might affect the positioning of the app even if I win the appeal.

And what if they should continue on their path and not accept their mistake?

Play store at its best (again and again and again).

I followed the FairEmail case and made a post in a Reddit sub of which I am a moderator:

https://www.reddit.com/r/android_devs/comments/utn850

I found the response of some of the users of that app so depressing, they were more concerned about not losing a free app than what its developer was going through.

I believe that ultimately the problem with FairEmail was that the domains of the email addresses were being sent to an external server so that the "favico" could be found. Although the developer solved the problem, half the Internet had to be mobilized for Google to accept his solution.

In my case, however, there is nothing logical I can do to solve the problem since no data is sent to external servers. All data is sent from one user's device to the other, without it going through an external server, mine or someone else's.

So I find myself in the position of either hoping that the people at Google understand the problem - which doesn't happen easily without help from the media - or of declaring that the data is being sent to a server of mine just to keep them happy.

June 16 at 22:48 the Pro version of the app has been removed from Google Play store and remains unavailable until this moment. Meanwhile, no revenue for me and users cannot download and install a purchased app.
[Android Apps and Games] easyjoin:
After appealing (16/6/2022 22:59) [4-0703000032350] Google's decision, they sent me an email (21/6/2022 3:28) explaining what they think is wrong. I won't go into detail at this time so as not to distract from the real issue which is restoring the app to Play store.

I made the changes that I thought they were asking for, explained them to them by email (21/6/2022 11:59), and after that I published a new version in beta channel.

Even this version was rejected (Jun 22, 2022, 11:20 AM) without any information being given to me about it, just a generic "Not adhering to User Data policy"; the previous description was "Not adhering to Google Play Developer Program policies" so it seems that there is something else that they don't like. I asked them to have more information by replying (22/6/2022 12:14) at the first email they sent me.

Since I got no response from them I appealed [5-1613000032400] again (Jun 23, 2022, 10:03). I don't know if that's the right method because it's not clear what the right process is in these cases. Do you respond to the email and wait? Do you have to appeal again otherwise the first appeal is considered closed and you won't get any email response?

This whole situation is very stressful especially because communication is difficult.

I've been there, but I did it :) https://www.xda-developers.com/google-restriction-sms-call-log-permissions/

The problem now is that they want me to declare that I send SMS and contacts to a server that is mine or a third party, even though this is not true since users send them directly, without using external servers, from their devices to their devices. And I have been stuck in this situation, with the app removed and no revenue, since June 16.
[Android Apps and Games] easyjoin:
And I am still stuck at square one. At this point maybe it's appropriate to post the email they sent me about the first appeal [4-0703000032350] to get a better sense of where I stand.

The first thing to note is that after the appeal, the app went from "Your app is uploading users' Contacts list and SMS information without a prominent disclosure." to "Malware."

At this point it's helpful to read what they mean by "Malware" because it's not what we normally think of as malware: https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/9888380

In addition to the normal notion of "Malware" other cases are added, some of which involve not only malicious intent on the part of those who wrote the code but also cases of unintentional malfunctioning of the code (bugs). For example, in the following case involving the defunct Google+, the title of the article should have replaced the word "bug" with "malware.": https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/08/google-bug-exposed-the-information-of-up-to-500000-users.html

However, upon reading the follow-up to the e-mail, after the "malware," which for an honest developer is a shock to read that his or her app is "malware," one realizes that the problem encountered is still the one stated in the first e-mail.

[Android Apps and Games] easyjoin:
Continue from post #345

From what I understand from their email it must be declared that the app accesses SMS and contacts to allow the user to send them from his device to his device without going through external servers.

Again, I won't go into this request now because it's already a lot I have to describe to explain this point and I don't want to open other fronts that will divert attention. I'll explain what's wrong with their request in another post.
