Android apps

[ST^]

I don't use any Launcher but Launcher Pro is the undisputed (...probably disputed) king of launcher apps.

Well it's entirely possible to dispute it, but the app drawer of ADW.Launcher is significantly better than Launcher Pro. Aside from that, they're more or less the same, the only difference is the dock for which Launcher pro has a *very* minor edge. Overall though ADW is much better though.

In my opinion.


But if you disagree you're wrong.


And have herpes.

HTC Sense is the best one anyway.

Ah the naivete of youth. I remember when I liked sense, I remember when I used Norton anti-virus too. Both of which are bloated, useless pieces of shit.

I disagree. Launcher Pro is the best and you smell of wee

I really hate the shortcut doc on ADW as well as the app drawer

HTC owners may find this of use. It supposedly calibrates the phone a little better, to get the most from the battery.

The following steps should significantly extend the battery life on your phone. Please connect the phone to the charger with the phone powered on, and allow the phone to charge until the notification LED is green, indicating the device is fully charged. Disconnect the phone from the charger, and power it off. Reconnect the phone to the charger with the phone powered off, and allow the phone to charge until the notification LED is green. Disconnect the phone from the charger and power it on. Once the phone is powered completely on, power it off again and reconnect it to the charger until the notification LED is green. Disconnect the phone, power it on, and use it. You need to use this sequence only once. If the issue of battery life on our phone persists, I recommend you contact our HTC accessory department directly.

That guide sounds like a wind up, some guy at HTC tech saying "hah, lets see how many hoops we can make them jump through"... but I'll give it a bash .

This could be worth keeping an eye on. The phone location service if fine for weather ect imo. Looks like its worth checking for Galaxy S users, but if its a Google thing it could hit everyone after updating.

"Use wireless networks" is now turned off by default, but even with it on, the phone may be slow or unable to determine even a rough location. Originally, we'd believed this was the only problem. Samsung tells us that it's a new Google mandate that Android devices be shipped with the "use wireless networks" option disabled, which means you're relying on traditional GPS alone to determine your location -- a lost cause indoors, in urban canyons, or under dense tree cover. Indeed, we discovered it was turned off on our Captivate, Vibrant, and Epic 4G after fresh hard resets, and there's no indication to the user that it's probably in their best interest to enable it; we're accustomed to being presented with the option during account setup on other Android devices, but it doesn't happen here. After enabling it from settings, we found that both the Captivate and Epic 4G were able to get our location with 1,000 to 1,500-meter accuracy practically immediately in Google Maps, though the Vibrant still never came through; it had the weakest signal of the three, which may have accounted for that (though it never dropped the signal altogether).

I don't have a webcam thingy but I might just buy one for this:

Tiny DVR for Android brings your security cams to your Android device

Its awesome. You can set it to run anything. On startup it'll find a load of random cameras. And its free.

Once Mozilla tweak it for speed, I might give it a look.
Does anyone know if Firefox Sync 1.5 will sync bookmarks, cookies and stuff with it?

swype installed but you cant type anything, it just beeps also ;s

Reboot your phone.

Go to applications > manage apps > running tasks > swype > force close

Go to a text entry field, hold down in field, select input method. Swype.

Should work now.

However, unless you are in the official beta program, you have a hacked copy, and it may have expired. Usually the beeping happens when the beta version has expired or it needs a reboot.
