The Android thread

[RedinSweden]

Probably been mentioned before but Seek Droid is a brilliant app. Basically if you lose your phone you go on your computer and enter you name and password which you've setup, you can then locate your phone by GPS, it opens up a google map and shows you where it is.You don't need your GPS switched on all the time for this as Seek droid will turn it on for you when you need to find it.

 

You can also wipe your phone over the computer if you think your phone is in the wrong hands which is brilliant.

It's 99cent and it's a must have app to secure your personal info.

 

The 2 dollar version allows you to remotely discharge knockout gas.

Ha that would be great, taking your phone out of the robbers pocket while they're lying unconscious on the ground.

You can do that with the new HTC Sense for niche.

Ahhh didn't know.

 

Found another app that doesn't need an internet connection switched on to find your phone and it's free. If you lose it you text your phone with your code from another phone and it sends back a link for google maps to the whereabouts of your phone.

It's called Pintail.

[Guest simon]

Seriously why are people opaying for apps when applanet gets them free you just need to root you phone with z4 root

[Guest simon]

Just got Pes11 decent game

[Lucky Pierre]

You don't need to root the phone, Simon. You just tick the box that says 'allow third party applications'.

[stevienando]

Why do people buy stuff from the store when you can just steal?

Pro Evo 11

Download PES 2011 Pro Evolution Soccer .apk android games Free

Any problems let me know basicly you download the cache save that to sd/android/Data then download the actual game by logging in with FB or signing up little green button says Download.

 

Then install load and let it download the 50 mb it needs. Its a cracking game.

[stevienando]

The root is needed to store the files in the sdcard partition of the phone, not to actually install the APK file. You still haven't answered though, why would people buy stuff from a store when they can just take it?

[RedinSweden]

Spotimote. Control spotify on your PC using your phone as a remote. Sweet!

 

Piss easy to set up. Works a treat.

Some apk's will not uninstall unless you have superuser control to get this you need to root. And in answer to your question. Android have give one way to pay for an app and for some people. Like me find it impossible to buy a app. Why the hell you can't pay with credit is a joke..there is my answer..

Juice Defender is a great app for extending your battery life; I have tried a few apps, but this is the only one where I can see any tangible difference.

What it Rooting, what benefits are there to it and how do you do it?

[Guest simon]

Its means you have superuser privelages. Search for Z4 root on google if you want this.

[rondeco]

My desire hd just deleted all of my text messages even though automatic deleting isn't selected. Pain in the arse.

[dirty_sanchez]

Why exactly do I need super user privileges on my phone again?

so you can install anything also youi can make your phone allot faster you can do anything i would not recommend deleting stuff that came with the phone though. As this can effect system updates.

How can I fully optimise my porn viewing on the desire hd ??? Discuss.

I can install anything I want on my phone already. I can do pretty much everything I'd ever want my phone to do already. I can do full internet browsing, I can listen to music, I can watch Youtube, I can play games, I can make phonecalls, send texts, use it as a Sat Nav etc. It's a phone, what else exactly do people need it to do?

 

Rooting phones is mostly just a massive dick swinging competition for people to show how clever they are and make them feel like they've got the better of software and hardware manufacturers.

Angry bird St Paddys day seasons released today, begorra we'll have mighty craic!

My Weigh is one app. It basically turns the phone into a scale, using the touchscreen. Put it on a flat surface and stand on it with one foot and it'll tell you your weight.

 

Nah, only messing. Don't do that.

 

Got the HTC Desire last week and am chuffed with it like most of youse seem, bar the battery life and I've got the app killer and turned the screen brightness down now.

 

Sky+ is a handy app, I thought - you can link to your own Sky+ box, set stuff to record etc.

Go to Menu->Settings->Accounts and Sync and untick 'Background Data'. Doubles your battery life.

 

Though the one downside is your phone won't update the weather, so you'll just have to look out the window instead..

I'll try that. My desire HD eats battery too fast for my liking.
