Android :: Want To Switch To Android / Are These Apps Available?
Nov 27, 2010
Current iphone owner, considering moving to an android phone as I am fed up having to jailbreak the phone to do things I want.However, before I make the switch I just want to make sure that there are two things that I can currently do on my iphone that I am just wondering if I am able to do it via android. They may seem very very petty, but really they are so useful I cant imagine a phone without them.
1) An equivilent of the iphone app 'wikipanion plus'. Basically I MUST (!) have a good wiki app which has the same functionality as this app- namely, that it allows me to 'queue' articles that I want to read but dont want to just now. This may sound so irrelevant, but I use it ten times a day! I understand wiki plus is not available on android itself for some reason, but perhaps there is an equivilent?
2) An equivilent of the jailbroken iphone app 'auto silent' whcih can disable any on-board silent swithces and put silent mode on a timer (of course, with a manual overide). I am staggered that I must jailbreak my iphone to get this.

Have the Eris. One of the things I liked about Nokias was you could download an app that would let you pull up a task/application switcher from any application by holding down a key.the Eris pulls up last six opened apps when you hold down home button, but there should be a way to open one of the various task switcher/kiillers and open apps using a similar method.Cant seem to find that in app store. am i missing something?

I have published a free trial application on Android market.
Since there is a protection method now (LVL) I want to upload also the full version of that application. Unfortunantly when I try to upload the full version on the market it tell me that there is just another software with the same package name and to update that package.
When I update that package it doesn't let me choose to switch from free to payed. How can I do it?

Seven ways PC World is wrong about the iPhone-Android matchup
This is very pathetic, obviously written by an iPhone fanboi. When you get to the multitasking part watch how he can only switch between 4 very small apps and that's all he does.

I think I know the answer to this, but, I am returning my Incredible for a EVO..When I do this, and download AppBrain, and have it sync my apps, will everything I had downloaded/purchased for the Incredible show up and be available for me to download/install on my EVO?
I assume 2.1 is 2.1, and I should be able to get all the "offiicial" stuff; things like Swype, and others may take awhile to show up for the EVO.

I downloaded launcher pro and switch pro apps. Then I installed a non-market app I got from xda (gallery3d if it matters). After installing that app, launcher pro required a force quit. Now I have my switch pro widget near the bottom of the screen on the home screen. When launcher pro reloaded and put back all my widgets, it looks like it sort of mirrored the switch app on the bottom, behind the dock where the phone and contacts buttons are. It's sort of half on and half off the screen. I can't long press on it, or interact with it in any way. I have tried reloading the switch pro widget, but that doesn't do anything. I have also tried restarting launcher pro, which also has no effect. Rebooting the phone also does not solve. Weird, huh? What do you all think?

Is there a quick way to switch between apps ? While some programs you just click on the icon again, that doesn't always work. With podkast for example it'll just run the program twice.

I purchased apps, via Google Play, and now can't download them. Not just to my Xoom, but also my SGS2. I've tried all download fix options on the Google site, even talked to a tech (who asked I do them again, and then respond via email).
Another option would be to do a factory wipe/reset. Since I'm playing around with ICS, I decided to revert back to factory on the Xoom and try again. Still no luck. Just stays at "Starting download". No percentage. No little "downloading..." message under it. Can't even cancel it from downloading.
And I've tried the following options:
Cleared the cache and/or data
Uninstalled updates
Logged in and out of the "Talk" app several times
Rebooted
Tried requesting from the store web page on my desktop
Tried over different wifi networks
Tried over Verizon
Tried over AT&T
Tried with ICS 4.0.3
Tried with Gingerbread 2.3.6
Tried with Honeycomb 3.2.6
Tried with a factor reset/wiped Xoom (using .img files directly from the Motorola web site)
I have plenty of free space available
I know if this doesn't get resolved, both of my android devices will have become useless to me.

I currently use a Nokia E71 and quite like a lot of the features I have setup on it, although in the next few months my contract is up and am interested in replacing this device with a htc desire or similar, since I think Nokia haven't delivered enough with the E72. Although, before I do I'd like to understand a bit more about what the Android platform (2.1)

Can anyone recommend an app to remotely switch off a PC (e.g. over wifi)? Off Remote does this for iPhone / iPod, and I'm trying to find an equivalent for the Nexus One.

So I made LP my default launcher by checking the "make default" box which of course disables the choice. I'd like to switch back to ADW. Without un installing LP is there a way to switch back to ADW?

Does anyone know whether there is an app that could automatically switch between 2G-3G? Or if anyone is working on such app. Idea would be that user could define which apps can activate 3G mode ie. browser, etc that require higher speed and after application quit's (for example with automated task killer) the phone would switch back to 2G. This would save battery without a hassle to switch manually. I know that there are widgets that takes you to switch option with few clicks, but still. Is there any technical issue that would prevent to make such app? I am not a programmer so take it easy.

Work pays for my phone and we are switching from Sprint to At&T. I just bought a Samsung Moment at the end of last year. I'm not real hip on getting an iPhone. It looks like I'm down to 2 choices: Nexus One and Motorola Backflip.So can you help me out here on pros and cons or what would work better for me? I don't know very much, or anything at all, about cell phones.

I wanted to know how to switch beteen GPS and Network providers.Iam now busy with making a program that shows the location of the phone holder on the google map. I want to make use of both the GPS provider and the network provider. I prefer using gps. When gps is not temporarily unavailable then the program chooses for the network provider. But when the gps is available again I want the program to use the gps again.At this moment my program is only able to switch to network provider when gps is not available but it cant check whether gps is back again.

I hope I am posting this in the right area. I am a current BB user and looking to move to Android. I would like to know what the group thinks on this question. I am looking to get either a Evo or a Galaxy Tab. I basically live on my BB. Web surfing, email (personal and work), music player, text etc. which would the group buy evo or galaxy tab. Also any idea as to what the pricing will be from Sprint on the tab?

On the 2nd of this month i switched to the Eris and I absolutely love ALMOST everything about it. The main problems I have are the lag and the no flash. The lag is a lot worse than i thought it would be. I didn't think I would mind no flash when I bought it but didn't realize how much I was going to miss not having it. From what i have read it seems like the incredible would fix both of these problems. I got the phone for only $29 because i signed up for a new two year contract. What are my opinions for switching to an incredible since i will still be in the first 30 days when the incredible is released. about how much extra will it cost me? Thanks for any tips or advice.

OK, here is my dislike about this phone. I switched to the Evo cause my DH was obsessed with getting one. I had a Blackberry for the last 2 years and one of the things I liked about the phone was ie: If I was on a call and needed to get a phone number for someone, I could put the phone on speaker, switch applications and access my address book, find the number and then go back to the phone screen. It also worked with any other application I wanted to view while on the phone. It seems that the Evo is not capable of this function.
Not sure if this was the right thread to post on but figured I'd try it. The other down side to the Evo is not having the cut and paste function. Or, is it that I just don't know how to do this yet.

If only the ViewSwitcher could take more than 2 views.
