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.

These guys http://lifehacker.com/5611003/build-a-find-my-iphone-clone-for-android give a step by step how to set up Tasker to do this.

Bah, stupid internet. No matter what you want to do, someone else gets there first.

Where's my droid is a great app - gives gps coordinates of phone and also makes phone ring out loud if you have left it on silent.

Don't know if this has been mentioned before but there is a Full Need for Speed game for Android

From what I've heard it works very well on the HTC Desire but people have had trouble getting it to work on the Galaxy S

Haven't tried it though as i'm still waiting on my Desire to be back in stock:rolleyes:

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?

does any one acutally use multi tasking on android? its kinda pointless cause it always auto saves on where you left off...close open close open

you can also hold down the home button for recent apps

Some stuff I use multitasking for are

Use Locale or Tasker to change phone settings based on rules (like location, time, phone orientation, battery level etc.)

Going out for a jog while listening to music while another app is tracking and timing your route.

Leaving a podcast app running in the background that pulls down new programmes when they appear. Multi tasking isn't essential for that but when I didn't have it as an option I always forgot to do it manually and usually remembered when I'd no internet access.

evolutionqy7 · 23-08-2010 05:02PM

meh recent apps do me just fine

and if need em turned of i just hit the kill all widget droid

madmoe · 24-08-2010 04:12PM

Bit off topic lads but I just got me an 8GB microSD card and want to use it with my Nexus One. I have the old 4GB still in there.

What is the best way to go about setting this up? Will I copy all from the existing 4GB to my PC including any hidden directories etc. and then copy all these across to the new 8GB card? Does the 8GB have to be formatted by phone first??

Cheers,
M

PS: What about any apps that are set up to run form the SD card??

evolutionqy7 · 24-08-2010 06:15PM

yup pretty much...copy paste

if you dont feel safe look up titanium back up in the market...can back up your apps and setting if your changing builds or w/e...though requires root access

It was probably mentioned already but must say that gallery3d is v good,, you can sync with your online Picasa account so that all your photos are in the cloud not taking up any of your sd space ,, not available on market,, one thing I found is you need to be logged in on the browser so if you clear your cache the photos disappear and you must log in online again,, doesn't seen to recognize my account on the phone

That was one of the very first apps I downloaded! Seen it on youtube when I was researching the Nexus One. It was my "Oh look at what my new phone can do" app that I showed to everyone!:D

Tub Thumper is also a pretty good one with three different types of drum sounds in the free version and a host more stuff in the paid version, Tub Thumper Pro.

That's freebird, not stairway! I downloaded one before that showed how to finger chords (he he finger) but ended up playing with it more than the real guitar I bought...

Just downloading this from 4shared now.....

On a different note has anyone installed Norton on their phone? Do you think it slows down everything a little?

well once it goes for a scan it should slow everything down

madmoe · 25-08-2010 01:29PM

I am thinking about removing it.....does not seem to really be many threats for mobile just yet.....or am I wrong guys??

I'm on Froyo 2.2 on the Nexus One and gallery3d seems to be already built into that?? The app I found on 4shared.com won't install??

madmoe · 25-08-2010 01:45PM

If you are being careful and reviewing what exactly your apps are accessing when they install then there should be no need for any type of virus software.

Its not in the market (and I don't think its supported by the Hero). Go to http://m.google.com/earth on your phone's browser.

I'm on FroYo on the Hero and it won't let me grab it.
