    Best apps for recording telemetry while driving race car?

    In a few days I'm going to drive a race car really really fast. (The Rusty Wallace Racing Experience, I've done it before and it's a blast!) I'd like to record as much data as possible. I'll have multiple Android devices in my pockets to accomplish this redundantly. They are low-end devices...

    Call forwarding on Virgin Mobile USA

    When calls (and texts) come in to my Virgin Mobile USA (CDMA) Android phone's number, I'd like them to be forwarded to another number (my Google Voice number, but that's not important). I found these indications that it is or may be possible: April 2013: Currently on...

    Looking for simple screen orientation toggle`app (not toggle for autorotation or orientation lock)

    My rooted Nook Simple Touch lacks an orientation sensor. I want to rotate it two ways: 1. Tap an icon on the status bar (or in notifications, but I'd prefer status bar). I don't want a menu from it, I just want it to switch between landscape and portrait immediately. 2. Run it from app...

    Underclocking/undervolting when idle for battery savings

    Lately I've seen a few posts mentioning that underclocking and/or undervolting when idle, using a CPU control app that is made to do so, helps with battery life. I installed AnTutu Battery Saver based on the logic that Dracable trusted AnTutu CPU Master enough to put it in DrAndroid Lite, and I...

    ES File Explorer: Using "SD Card Analyst" mode on /data

    ES File Explorer is great and I keep finding features I didn't notice before. One is its "SD Card Analyst" tool, which provides a list of directories and files sorted by disk usage. Unfortunately it seems to only work on the SD card. ES File Explorer supports root access in general but I can't...

    Battery went from normalbad to worse

    Suddenly my battery suddenly only lasts 2-3 hours of doing nothing. That's not making calls, GPS disabled, screen off, full bars with tower visible through my picture window (well, in the winter anyway; now that the trees are leafy it's not quite visible, but still full bars). Battery usage...

    Silencing the camera, revisited

    I dislike gratuitous noises. I have keyboard ticking and other such sounds turned off. However, the camera sometimes makes a sound. In another thread I wrote: I've come to realize that the "boop boop" sound most likely is telling me that there is insufficient light. It intermittently...

    Bricked...no wait I figured it out. But now, no mobile data connectivity.

    This morning I woke up, unplugged the charge cable, noticed it was powered off, powered it on. Appeared to be booting up normally. A few minutes later I noticed it was off again. Then it wouldn't turn on. Tried removing battery for 5 minutes (while unplugged of course), no luck. Trying...

    link2sd not re-linking dalvik-cache at boot

    My Venture, with its puny /data internal storage, benefits greatly from using link2sd. However, when I reboot, the dalvik cache is full of real files, not symlinks, and link2sd doesn't automatically re-link the files. I'm not sure if it's wiping and re-creating the dalvik cache or just doing...

    Stumbled on something else here...

    Was googling for specs so I can stop saying "I don't know, really low resolution" when I found one site calling it the ZTE Venture. A friend asked if it's the same as this: ZTE Style Q - Full phone specifications Well, the first things I noticed different are GSM vs. CDMA and ICS vs...

    theholycow...kinda.

    Hi everyone! On most forums I'm theholycow but here somebody already had that username. You may remember me from such forums as All Offtopic Forums or you may have seen my car, an ugly 1980 Buick LeSabre that I massaged a 5 speed manual transmission into. For a long time I've avoided...
