    Cheers Squire! I was specifically looking at a Top 10 'Free' apps/games list for android, i'm just new here too but it's really nice to know that 'someone' can delete the thread i created and then re-post it to another thread without even notifying me...

    I haven't seen a Legend up close, but I can't see how people think it is a better looking phone? The Desire isn't the best looking phone out there, but it is better than the legend imo.

    +1. Not seen it up close but from pictures it looks like an ugly silver monolith of a thing.

    I actually think the Desire is a great looking phone. In the Android side of things, maybe just behind the Nexus One for good looks. And I love the feel of the kinda rubbery matt finish back to it.


    Anyroad... eh, back on topic... I've finally gotten around to setting up Tasker. Awesome app!

    What kind of profiles have you set up, Goodshape?

    A couple of simple one's so far... it kinda feels like my imagination is the only limiter here :D

    'At home' -- turn wifi on.

    'Plugged in' -- turn on GPS, WiFi, blutooth and auto updates, keep screen active for longer.

    'Battery 20%' -- basically the reverse of plugged in. Also quits certain apps, like Talk.

    I find My Paper Plane 2 pretty good/addictive lite version available for free to try.

    For At home, I presume you are using location. I have this set up too, using network location. Usually switches on fine, but doesn't switch off when I leave home, which it is supposed to happen as an exit task.
    Does it work for you?

    It will still be running the 'at home' profile when you leave, or it will exit the profile but not revert your settings?

    I'll test it a bit more this evening.. the 'at home' profile is the only location based one I've got currently. And the only thing it does is switch on wifi -- which I usually have on anyway, so I wouldn't expect it to turn off when I leave (it will "revert" my setting, which is still 'on').

    I'll turn wifi off before I go home this evening and see how it works when I get there and leave again.

    It's a bit of both.
    I need to use a proxy to use wifi at work (this is my biggest gripe with android) so not on during the day. It always switches wifi home when I get home. When I got into work in this morning, the at home profile was still active so I went into maps (which does have a profile to switch on GPS) to see where it thought I was, it knew where I was, and then when I checked which profiles were active again, there were none active, but wifi was still on:(

    Interested to see how it works for you, and what radius you use.

    I have the legend and the case has a nice feel, comfortable in your hand and i think the one piece aluminum looks great.

    Radius is set to 200m. Using Net and GPS although GPS was switched off as I went home.

    I'm going to reduce it from 200m as that seems like quite a lot actually... but it seemed to switch on the WiFi OK, and switch it off again when I went out. So far no problems!

    Name: Flixter Movies
    very cool, find cinema times & reviews - uses gps to locate cinemas near you
    Url: http://market.android.com/search?q=pname:net.flixster.android

    Are you using Flixster Movies app in Ireland? Maybe i'm doing something wrong but Flixster is not available or even found on the Android Market for Irish users. I'm a big fan of rotten tomatoes myself so a bit disappointed about this...

    It's not available on the Irish Market. What you can do is get the SlideMe.org "alternative market" app instead (search for Mobentoo on the Market). Install that, then you can use it to install Flixster

    Not sure if you got a response on this or not, it's a pretty long thread! In case you didn't try the below out, compliments of 28064212.

    What do you mean one click? Once you link your google checkout account it essentially is one click.

    you wont see one click ordering until its licensed by amazon.com who happen to hold a patent for this - no flies on them lads!
