There's an app for that!

[Ryzza5]

There has to be a decent number of iSheep and other smartphone users here, and we all know the various app stores make the phone twice as good as when we first turned them on, so share your favourite apps here.

 

Type in Blue for iPhone, Green for Android, and Red for Windows Mobile.

 

 

I might maintain a list here at the start for easy reading, depending on how good the response is.

 

 

Smart Vibrator

I was a little annoyed to find out that my phone only vibrated once for an incoming call, instead of constantly. I found this app, where you can manually enter vibration patterns for incoming calls and SMS message. Type "." for a short pulse, "-" for a longer one, and "_" for a strong one. A space gives a 0.5 second pause. So for incoming calls I've entered "-_ -_ -_ -_ -_ -_ -_ -_ -_ -_ -_ -_ -_ -_ -_"

Radar Detector

This interesting little app claims that most phones naturally can detect radiation, and that this app uses this to warn you about nearby radars (i.e. speed and red light cameras). I tested it out and it definately did detect a few cameras, but there were some that it didn't (unless the cameras were off at the time). Most newer cameras use laser instead of radar, which this won't detect. I wouldn't rely on it, but it's nice to have. There's always Trapster as well.

.nomedia Manager

This app lets you mark folders as containing no media, so that the Android OS will skip checking these folders, so that their contents don't end up in the gallery or music player. Handy if you have images or ringtones saved on your device that aren't proper photos or music/songs.

No Lock

Removes the lock screen when you wake up the phone, so that you don't have to slide things anywhere - just hit the power button to wake it up and you're good to go.

It was always going to be an iPhone user who couldn't understand the bit about using a template and using the correct colour, wasn't it? :cheeky:

[Loz]

I just glossed over the first post and didn't read it all.

 

Edited and fixed.

[Ryzza5]

Edited and fixed properly :fp:

[iLLGT3]

With the above posters, I feel this is an appropriate place for this.

 

[mod edit]: Duplicate video removed

[Ryzza5]

You do realise you've posted the same video as Little Miss Herp Derp up there, which was already de-embedded? :fp:

[iLLGT3]

Oh my. Why was it not embedded? How will I know??!

 

:fp:

[Ryzza5]

Because it partially off topic and partially stupid :cheeky:

If you read the other posts you would've had half a clue that the link was the same, at which time you would've checked. Instead, you were so excited about having another oppuruntity to share your ponies with us a giggling like a 2-year-old you impatiently posted the video without reading the thread.

I think that answers the question sufficiently :D Can we get back on topic now? ;)

We are so smart here, aren't we? :cheeky:

SoundHound

Like Shazaam, only better (according to other reviews, both apps are available on Android btw). Play a song into the microphone and it will identify it for you. If you're a good singer then you can try that too, as long as I'm not within earshot of you. :p
