    Apps WYSIWYG app maker that supports http API calls?

    There's a bunch of noddy websites out there to help quickly throw apps up. My intention was to call the phone contacts and submit to this: http://www.callwithus.com/API#callback ...but the only service I find that supports this custom http API call is AppMachine. If I was looking to monetise...

    Help List of Apps that don't work on the mini?

    I've had enough of big screen phones. I don't need so much in a phone. I wondered about getting a x10 mini pro. I've heard about the back key problem. But what apps have you found that don't work on the small screen?

    How do you use you filemanager? (not Astro, ES, Ghost Commander)

    Astro: I used to like it but the adverts now take up a lot of screen estate plus I don't really like the new layout. Seems to take up too much space for me. ES: Can't order files by size. Ghost Commander: Can't make desktop shortcuts to commonly used folders. Would like to show thumbnails...

    Is this strategy for security&privacy good enough?

    I'm starting to make purchases with my phone now and I think really I need to assess whether I could do more. This is what I do: 1) Any dodgy app I download, if there's any doubt as to whether it might be a warez'ed copy, I run it through an online scanner first. I have forgotten to do it a few...

    A screen that works outdoors! (transflective)

    My Nokia E55 used to be visible in bright sunlight. Now with the Galaxy I have to choose between using auto brightness draining the battery or risk not seeing the screen outdoors. Surely there's a Tablet or phone out there with one of the older, less detail but Transflective LCD screens...

    Alternative to TitaniumBackup freezing to address wake locks & cpu drain

    Fring, Skype, Google Maps. Even the Google Play store. All these come out of sleep to drain battery. Some also run services too. They're not things you can easily avoid. There's a million and one battery apps but I've never found a task killer that does it properly, I mean the idea is flawed...

    Chinese phone without any software?

    I just wondered if there's a company out there offering a phone but without android on it already, so they don't have to pay Google or anyone any licensing... for people who want to flash what like like on it... like CM7. I know there's some pretty cheap phones out there but I don't think...

    XPRT might be easy to improve battery life. Some theories

    I just switched from a NokiaE71 to the GalaxyS and I miss the blackberry style a lot so I'm thinking of going back to Symbian with a NokiaE6. While comparing the phone specs here: Motorola XPRT VS Samsung Galaxy S VS Nokia E6 - Phone specs comparison I noticed regards battery life that the...

    Downloading from Market or AppBrain without phone

    I have a phone on order which will arrive at home in the next few days. When I get there I will pick up the phone and get travelling to my next destination ASAP. I don't want to waste time loading apps onto the phone over WiFi while I am at home and finding internet access is hassle too...

    GNote for sysadmin and webadmin?

    I have a Nokia E71 so I'm looking for a new phone anyway. If I spend twice as much for a Note instead of a galaxyS can I realistically expect to be able to do remote sysadmin tasks like ssh and cpanel? How much difference does that screen make? Is it a smooth browsing experience with...

    Want GPS,Cam,ebooks but don't want to get mugged

    I've just had my NookTouch stolen. I still have a Nokia E71 and already I could use a new phone with a good camera so I wondered about getting a Samsung Note to fill all needs. But, - I wouldn't be able to use it for fear of getting mugged. I'd be constantly worried about it - the screen...

    Versioning, vendor lockin and other annoyances vs iPad

    I've been trying out an iPad. It's ok but not as great as I expected. The main thing is that the my eyes go blurry after a couple of hours. Mirasol screens are being held back while these kindles are being pushed so I thought I'd look into cheap android based eink ereaders. Like most...

    A different development approach

    All this custom software and effort. It all seems a bit ambitious, especially in hindsight. What if another approach was taken: - supply a tablet with no software at all! ...and expect hackers to assemble the screen and load software themselves. At the end of the day all I want is a...

    Kindle beater?

    I was going to get a Notion Adam, but then I heard that the screens, while better than a LCD, are nothing like an ebook reader like the Kindle. I just want something that can read .pdf I'm a patient guy. Do I search for a Kindle competitor that can do .pdf or should I wait for a phone that...

    Chinese copy phones -could be interesting actually!

    Baggy actually asked a similar question back in 2010: http://androidforums.com/other-phones-android-non-android/209291-chinese-phones-i-e-sciphone.html but I thought I better start a new thread. The thing that interests me about Android, the major thing that interests me is that it finally...

    Android will save me... or will I wait forever?

    I've just had my Nokia E55 stolen. I bought this as a stop-gap while I wait for bright sunlight compatible, low power PixelQi screens or ability to turn 2/3rds of the screen off to save battery life. The great thing about the phone was that the battery would last over a month in offline mode...

    Apps Turn off sections of screen to save battery?

    Is this technically possible? If making the screen black that will save some battery... not sure how much... can sections of the screen be fully turned off? I guess there probably isn't a phone out there with the capability is there? Come on Qi screens... I bought a Nokia E55 to tide me...

    Notion Adam vs Netbook & android software questions

    Being used to linux I want to have full control, install whatever I want, do what I want with my new tablet. I have been waiting for a long time for the Notion Ink Adam for one main reason - to have the Pixel Qi screen. The device seems pretty sweet so I have been waiting out for this instead...
