  • Alright since my last question went so well. Anyone know anything about making notification LEDs actually notify you of things? Mine only tells me when it's charging, which is a great bloody help since I PLUGGED YOU IN YOU IDIOT.

  • I use the paid version of Lightflow to control the LED on my N4.

    There's a free version here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflowlite

    Citymapper, for those bikeless times.

  • ^^locale/tasker/on{x} seeing as all phones should really have that kind of intelligence built in by now

  • I am trying.. but... relevance?

    Time Out London
    Worth Watching (basically Rotten Tomatoes)
    National Rail
    London Coffee

    "more than" - I read it in the sense of getting a new phone that is now faster.

  • Yes, but the threshold was so low as to be irrelevant.

  • How? It's very close to the same question as photoben.

  • Don't talk back, Mrak...

  • Juice defender - keeps your battery going for a lot longer by turning 3G etc off when the phone is idling.

    • QuickPic (so much faster than the stock picture viewer)
    • TuneIn (for radio listening)
    • AK Notepad (to keep different lists as widgets on your home screen - i find this very useful :-)
    • FXCamera (used to be good, now seems to be an Instagram clone)
    • Strava (!)

    Yeah, found that before.. doesn't work.

    Factory reset, doesn't work.

    Root, doesn't work.

    Dafuq? Guess I'll have to learn to live without it...

    Guardian?
    OpenApp the economist gets you all the articles, rather than the few offered by their official app, but it's not on play store any more so you need to get an apk from somewhere
    errr miniclip 8 ball pool (guilty pleasure)

    I like Cyclestreets for bike journey planning but must confess never tried anything else

  • Yes, but the threshold was so low as to be irrelevant.

    Sorry for my insufficient megahertzes.

  • Whatsapp

    Whatsapp has a worse security record than Microsoft, Adobe and Java put together.

    Fuck that shit.

    How much you after and does it work ok?

    I tried that, but then tweaking the phone does the same thing.

    Google Maps?

    Yep it works... just upgrading to a Nexus 4.

    £30 with the spare battery and charger?

  • Done.

  • Google Maps?

    I find its journey planner engine whatsit rubbish for cycling - sometimes suggests ridiculously slow routes that involve every segregated lane/towpath even if nowhere nearby, sometimes suggests massive danger, sometimes just inexplicably meanders off. Doesn't know certain things e.g. the greenwich foot tunnel.

    Fine for driving and walking, in my experience.
