Homer Thompson Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share Posted August 5, 2010 Another app with decent potential Wyse RDP Connects to your home PC over wifi or 3G using windows remote desktop Currently, in beta until the end of the month - so its free until then. Took me all of 2 minutes to set up and looks pretty good so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Since I updated to 2.2, I'm unable to download apps from AppBrain using my PC. Anyone else have this problem? I can download them from the AppBrain app on my phone though. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingscot Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 What is the best football latest scores app? I have Soccer Livescore but that has gone downhill fast recently. I use that and thought it was O.K but did notice the skipping of L2 in England yesterday despite having the blue square leagues scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mybitchunderprotest Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 My SE X10 mini pro arrives on Thursday and to save me trying and discarding browsers etc, whats the best to use for viewing P&B that will allow posting? I've been a bit behind in mobile phone technology over the years preferring to take discounts on line rental as opposed to upgrades. The X10 is only running android 1.6 at the moment with an upgrade to 2.1 scheduled soon. Cheers in advance all you geeky tech guys (I love gadgets) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers in advance all you geeky tech guys (I love gadgets) Usually, the stock Android browser that comes with the phone is good enough. You could try the Firefox Alpha release - if you're brave enough! - and when you get the 2.1 upgrade you can try Opera. Other than that, there arent really any stand out browsers that are significantly better than the default one, in my opinion anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Thompson Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 Thanks very much for that, I'll no doubt be back on looking for more info come Thursday! No probs. Just have a look through this thread and you'll find lots of what you need. My one bit of advice would be to install App Brain and the Fast Web Installer, then you can browse and install apps from your PC. Two from me today. I like the look of Tasker Does what things like Locale do, but at a fraction of the price. And, Kindle. Turn your Android device into a Kindle reader. Works well, the book I bought appeared on my phone almost instantly, and you can change the font size etc to suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Thompson Posted August 27, 2010 Author Share Posted August 27, 2010 Having had tasker and Kindle for a while, I can confirm they are both great Another one from me today. RadioTime - Stream live radio to your phone, including the BBC stations. I tried Radio 1 and Radio Scotland and both worked fine Also, has a nice little feature that uses your location to tell you what local stations are available in that area. Costs $1.99 but worth it if you want radio on the go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breaking Decency Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Is there any way of turning off the vibrating feedback when you select a letter when using TouchPal/Android Keyboard?

Think I'll reboot it and see what happens as I have both Sound and Vibrate unchecked. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
