My best Android Apps :)

Just wanted to shere some of my best apps that i use on my Samsung Galaxy S2. It's more of the everyday apps as opposed to the technical operational Apps. First of all i just have to show you my home screen. The apps i use more frequently have widgets or shortcuts on the homescreen. If you look on the top left, you will see 6 degrees in blue. This is the accuweather app whick i have found to be very reliable. Although android phones come with accuweather, you will need to download the one from the market which seems to do a lot more.

I use ebay, facebook, twitter, foursquare, formspring and google plus a lot and have these apps from these developers as opposed to third party. Infact, Google+, twitter and facebook recently got new look updates and i'll be the first to admit that they now offer a very intense user experience.

My other apps are the LLoyds and natwest banking apps, lottery results, bible, bbc, Flashlight, groupon, argos, nectar, premier league, linkedin, google translate, british gas, paypal, PAYE tax calculator, Loan Calc, Redlaser, dictionary and RAC traffic. I also love the Filmon Free TV app which also works with 3g.

My latest app has really impressed me. It's wikitude and brings everything that little bit closer to you. It shows what's around you, even closest twitter and other social network users.It also uses Augmented Reality navigations system where your Navigation takes place in realtime in the live-camera image of your smartphone. Next to a conventional 3D map view, Wikitude Drive has a spectacular Augmented Reality camera view, where driving directions are directly drawn into the real road you are driving on.

Advantage
The system works by attaching your mobile phone on top of your dashboard with the camera facing the road. The application then overlays video captured through the camera with driving instructions. This allows users to literally drive through their phone, watching the road even while they are looking at directions

My Frustration with O2 and lack of understanding of support for the 4G version of Samsung's Galaxy Watch 3

Image
I have made a video  of how to connect to O2 or EE if that is where you would like to start.    Context I have owned both Samsung and Apple smartwatches since the first issues of both. I review tech on YouTube so know a little bit about this subject. My last network-enabled smartwatch was an Apple Watch connected to O2. Setup was straightforward. Query I want an eSIM plan to use with my Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 (4G version) and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. I am already on a phone plan with O2. Contact and advice Phone call – Screened as not urgent. They are only taking urgent calls during the pandemic. Advised to visit website www.o2.co.uk. What they do not know is that I always start with the website before I make contact. There is no plan for the Galaxy Watch 3 or information for the 4G smartwatch except for pairing. I decided to use the conversation feature within the MyO2 app. Conversation feature (a feature like instant messenger within the O2 app to talk to tech support) Cannot help with

Galaxy s2 battery drain after ics update (Poor battery life)

So if you have now got your ics update you will be over the moon. I have had mine for a few days and i have to say, it's the best mobile phone operating system i've ever used (yes i've used ios longer than i've been on android). I'm not going to go into this though. I've noticed one problem which is battery drain. Now i don't know the technical stuff apart from things like turning off bluetooth, wifi, etc saves battery. I'm gonna tell you that you don't need to change any of the settings you had before the upgrade. What you need to do is let your battery go flat and then charge it fully from the mains not bluetooth. Do this a few times (usually takes a week of using ics to sort the problem out) and the system seems to optimise battery use and should be back to how it was before the upgrade.
