    Hey guys any eBook readers out there might wanna try FBReaderJ as an alternative to Aldiko, I find it a bit faster opening books (though not as polished) on my Galaxy S. :)

    Looking for something similar to Wavesecure that allows for remote shutdown of the phone when lost but free, basically im a cheapskate

    Has anyone got any good running/jogging app? I'm using RunKeeper at the moment but I'd like one that allows me to play music and put in audio ques. (I'm aware RunKeeper Pro can do this but it's a little pricey)

    I have wavesecure for free, for life, because I signed up when it was in beta. I told some friends about it, but they never signed up & now they are pissed off they didn't listen to me.

    In summary, I am deadly, you have to pay for wavesecure...

    SportsTracker is good. It doesn't play music, but allows you to use the music player at the same time.

    The Pro version of sportypal which is free in beta at the minute does what you want i think. All the features aren't enabled yet, so i'm not sure....

    Does it allow q's? I'm doing C25K at the moment and I'd like to know when to start running/jogging.

    I dunno what a q's is. It has all sorts of stuff I don't use, like heart rate stuff & things...

    I've just had a look and I dont think it does. Boo

    What I mean by q's is, I walk for 5 mins, then run for 90sec then walk for 2mins. I'd like to know when to stop and start.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,713 ✭✭✭Bluefoam


    I don't think it has that. but it will replay your journey on a map showing real time speeds - usless but fun.

    why not just have a good jog and push your limits :)

    I find it much easier to stick by a program such as C25K. That way, I don't die.

    where's the "i hope u lose your phone and wavesecure doesnt work" button :P

    ill prob end up buying it for piece of mind, does it work well (ie is it worth the $20)?

    I had Wavesecure on Trial and now that is over.

    It is in Limited mode which still allows me to back up but not restore or wipe etc.

    Can I just leave it like this and if I ever lose my phone, pay for it then to wipe the phone and restore my data to a new phone?

    It might be possible to set up Tasker so that if it gets a text from a particular number that it fires up something like Google Latitude and the GPS service and then turns on a pinlock on the phone. Interesting. I think you just gave me my project for the weekend. :)

    I'm pretty sure that they class 'for life' as only as long as you keep the device you have WS installed on now, once you move to another device, you have to pay for it. So ha ha to you? :)

    I think it's well worth it. From their website you can kick off a remote backup and then either lock it with a custom message, remote wipe it or lock and track it. If you chose to lock it, you can also lock it and have it turn on an alarm on the device which essentially makes it scream non stop at full volume. :)
    It also auto backs up your contacts, call log, sms messages once a day to their website, when you plug in the phone. Also, you can set up to 10 'buddy numbers' and wavesecure will text these numbers with the mobile number of any sim card that is inserted in your phone. So if someone nicks your phone and sticks their own sim in there, your buddies will get a text with the thief's number. That's a lot of features for twenty quid. Fair enough, you may never need to use it but if you do, you may be damn glad of it.

    There is an app called 'pintail' that allows you to send a text to your phone from another phone and it send back its GPS position...

    I haven't really looked into it, but you pay for the subscription, not the app. I can change my phone details online...

    Nice one, I'll have a look at that too.

    Hey ignore my sour grapes. :) Don't get me wrong, I hope you have it free forever but seeing as WS is soon to be owned by <spits> McAfee, I'm sure they'll be doing what they can to revoke the 'free for life' clause. I hope you can stick it to them, though. :)

    Hi all,
    For those using Tasker, have you guys seen much of an improvement in battery life?

    Cheers,
    M

    Not really but that's because I haven't really used it to improve the battery. I'm sure if I set up some different profiles, I would see a difference though.
