We’re not entirely sure DroidAlone is a completely new idea, but it’s certainly a good one – it generates a log of missed calls, then automatically sends an email to a registered account. So if your phone’s somewhere else, DroidAlone will tell you if the debt collectors have been ringing all day again.
Here’s the description from the maker:
“DroidAlone notifies missed calls and sms by reporting caller’s name and number by email to an email address or by sms to a phone number. There are also a configurable “I’m away reply”, and a remote contact number picking function through sms. Every functionality can be enabled remotely by sending sms containing commands”
And a couple of screenshots:
The bad news is DroidAlone’s a paid-for app, so you’ll have to part with €1.50 for it if you like the sound of the thing. A search for “DroidAlone” on the Android Market will bring it up for you.
HTC’s 4.3″ dual-core Android model, powered by Qualcomm’s all-new S4 processor. It’s smaller than the enormous One X, but is it as nice as its bigger brother? (SPOILER: Yes it is).
HTC is very much B-A-C-K at the top of the Android world with this, its quad-core flagship for 2012. Great camera, huge 4.7″ display and Android 4.0 running beautifully well.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?

/ July 31, 2010Hi, I am the developer of DroidAlone.
To be honest, it’s a bit different from calltrack.
It can be toggled remotely, so it doesn’t need automatic sync to be active, it offers automatic reply and address book browsing from sms.
It also ships sms notification so you don’t need to be in front of a computer if you forget your phone at home.
And I lowered the price to 0.99 Euros.

/ October 28, 2010I tried and and can recommend it, especially for just 1 Euro. I like the fact it can send an SMS or e-mail.
Syncing is great and all but not when you “are stuck on the road”
