    Vijayakumar Parthiban · 1 · Last reply by C. Coates

    I believe you would have already heard of Cerberus https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lsdroid.cerberus

    We don't need all the features very basic ones like

    Remote locking using pin

    Take picture

    Speak to the mobile holder

    Hear them remotely

    That's all i remember now will add some more as soon as i get it on my mind

    Deduplicate Clipboard Sync Notifications

    Tim Lewis · 0 · Posted

    I use two computers at work (yes, it's a frustrating situation due to a few different unavoidable things) that have their clipboards synced both to each other and to my phone.  As a result, whenever I copy something on my phone, I get two notifications on both computers (one from syncing the clipboard with the other computer and one from syncing it to my phone).  I know it would be possible to sync two of the devices to one device but not to each other, but because of a spotty internet connection, I'd prefer to have the redundancy in case

    Remove shared devices

    Fred Schauß · 4 · Last reply by Josh

    Currently only the owner of a shared device can stop its sharing. Without access to that device, it is not possible to remove it from the shared list, eventually staying there forever. This request is to be able to any party (the owner of the device, or the people that had it shared to) be able to stop the sharing.

    A function that allows it to work in China as well.

    Nathanael Horn · 0 · Posted

    I'm in China and if I don't use a VPN then I can't use the app. 

    I want an app that doesn't require me to turn on VPN every time I want to quickly send a message from one platform to the other.

    A scheduler for the notification sound to play on the computer.

    Austin Brown · 0 · Posted

    I would love it if Join for Chrome/Windows/Browser had an option to only play the sound that occurs when a notification is pushed on certain times of the day, and only on certain days. 

    I am in school from 6:30 to 3 and my parents work from home. They don't like constantly hearing my computer making the happy little sound that it successfully received a push all day, and I often forget to mute my pc. If I could schedule Join to be muted on certian hours during certain days, that would be great!

    stock android toast theme

    Dante Walters · 0 · Posted

    i think it would be better to have join use the stock android toast theme rather than its custom themed toasts. it's unnecessary and breaks the consistency of the android ui in my opinion.

    Ignoring double notifications

    Nicolai · 1 · Last reply by Tony Crimando

    Apps like Google (reminders) or YouTube (new videos) are sending notifications to both of my Android devices with exactly the same content at exactly the same time.

    Couldn't these be combined?

    (it might display "Tablet & Smartphone", my devices' names, as sender)

    Add setting to hide SMS content only

    TerDale · 0 · Posted

    Hi,

    A feature I really miss is the capability to be aware that a new SMS has arrived, but without displaying a notification by the browser (for privacy purpose). Currently :

    • either you enable notifications for one's SMS app, and SMS are displayed on PC screen (contents can be hidden, but it applies to any other, non-SMS, notification, which is annoying),
    • or disable notification for one's SMS app, but then one's has to check regularly phone or open the extension to verify if a new SMS has arrived.

    What would be nice is something like this:

    • a supplemental setting in

    Add the features from the Chrome right click menu to the Android share menu ("set as screenshot" for example)

    The title pretty much says time all.

    A drop down in the devices popup might be a good way implementing it

    Chrome plugin: ignore encryption when pushing to a device that was shared with me by another.

    Rob Leonard · 0 · Posted

    When using encryption and posting to a shared device:

    -From an android device: phone ignored encryption setting and send plain text to shared device.

    -From chrome plugin: plugin encrypts data before sending so the receiving device only get encrypted string.

    The phone to shared device workflow makes sense as I wouldn't necessarily know the encryption key to a shared device. The chrome plugin to shared device (when using encryption) feels broken in this case.

    Upload SMS only when connected to WiFi

    Anthony C · 3 · Last reply by BL

    When an SMS comes in and the phone is not connected to WiFi it uses data connection to upload SMS when there's no need for it as no computers or other devices are present/available. There should be an option to only upload/sync SMS when connected to WiFi as to not waste data pointlessly.

    Restrict Unsent SMS Text to its Message Thread

    Nathan · 0 · Posted

    Currently entered text (an unsent SMS message) persists when navigating between different contact threads on the web portal. This causes a high risk of accidentally sending sms text to the wrong person--just did this!

    - If SMS text is entered but not sent have it only appear for that contact as a sort of 'draft'. Even just clearing the text when navigating between threads would also be preferable to current implementation

    Improve Device Naming

    James Coyle · 1 · Last reply by kori zamora

    Device naming is currently really annoying IMO so here is how I'd fix it.

    • Prevent devices receiving the same name.
    • Expand grouping system to allow custom groups.
    • Add device auto naming system based on device group. 

    Preventing duplicate names is a good idea as it's currently possible to get into a situation where you have two devices named the same and can't push to just one of them. While its great you can push to multiple devices, there are better ways to implement this functionality. Custom groups would allow devices to be grouped more logically than the current name-them-all-the-same tactic.

    Allow ads but only for WiFi

    I'm cool with supporting the developer with ad use but I wish there was a way to allow ads only when on WiFi.

    Compatibility with Signal database

    Brian Grissom · 8 · Last reply by Dan Christensen

    Signal is a secured messenger by Open Whisper Systems. Join successfully forwards the message to the PC and sends responses...but it doesn't seem to add the responses to the Signal message database. FYI Signal is open source, and can be found here (if it helps) https://github.com/WhisperSystems/Signal-Android

    Add muting for specific SMS recipients

    Lori-Anne Sernoskie · 1 · Last reply by M B

    It would be great if you added a way to mute specific people from the SMS screen. If I mute someone on my phone, my phone won't notify me but my join extension in Chrome still detects a new message and displays it. If we could mute directly from the join app, we would still receive the messages from the muted person (which is fine, it's a mute, not a block), but they wouldn't disturb us.
