Must Have Android Apps and Games?

AFAIK you can't schedule reminders in Keep, so I guess it's not really a task manager in the usual sense.

Ah right, will stick to GTasks so.

Thanks

This has probably been answered before but is there any app to block other apps running in the background like maps etc. Phone is rooted.

Try Google Keep. It can do more than you're looking for, but the checklist function is really good in it. Nice widget too.

Thanks, I downloaded that and like it.
What would make it even better is if it had a password protected section. Then i wouldn't need a seperate app for sensitive info.

I just read that Whatsapp processed 27 billion messages in one day! Bloody hell

I’m looking for an app that’ll put an icon on my screen (like icon for any other apps) and with 1 press it’ll quick dial a pre-selected phone number.

On the S3 you can put a contact shortcut widget on the home screen, I'd imagine most android phone have such a widget.

a few options here:

the pro version of an app called Shake is free on appgratis today

you can choose an app to launch when shaking your phone vertically, horizontally or forward (this one is a pro feature, maybe the only one, not sure yet) as well as other stuff like toggle 3g, wifi, change ringer mode, etc.

Do you guys ever download from the Amazon App store? Every day they give away a paid app for free. it is a bit hit and miss, but I have got some decent apps for free, today is Node beat which is quite fun and worth a go for free!
Check it out here if you want

no i don't have, meant to be but never did

its like what appgratis does, well a lot of the time they're paid but it's hit & miss too, more miss i'd say. Node was on it not long ago

appsales is a good one for, well checking whats on sale :pac:

Always check the reviews before downloading - most of these apps are recently released and the developer is looking for some exposure. Most of the feedback is pretty awful so its easy to spot the worthwhile apps from the pointless/useless

Anyone know a good app that tells you how much time you spend on your phone and how long you use apps each day?
Wife is complaining I am always on my phone. I would like to prove how right she is cos my phone controls my life lol

Google announces a Cerberus rival

Wouldn't call it a rival, but basic ring, find and lock function has been omitted for a long time. Even windows phone had it...

Hopefully they will make it great with time. Its still annoying that the likes of hard resets wipe out data. Some one should make it that you can't wipe it without a user password in device or recovery. They shouldn't even let you flash firmware without removing the password lock.
