General :: Galaxy S3 - GPS Tracking
Feb 21, 2013
I am an outdoors person who really depends on GPS tracking. The only app I have tried is Google's "My Tracks". Although it has potential and some cool features like working with Google Earth. The app itself has been very unreliable. Tracking way off coarse, back tracking traces that never happened. Stats that are insane...
I really hope it is the app and not a inadequate GPS system built into the Galaxy s3.I know there are many other GPS trail apps available.
I have tried using an app called "Gpsfix". I did not notice any change.

I'm looking for a app for Android, that can send me the coordinates by SMS to me. Lets say I send a text to the phone, my GPS-tracking Android phone, hidden in car must respond back with another SMS. Preferably with a link to Google Maps. I've found a couple of Apps that can send the position to their web page, but through GPRS/3G connection.
Is there any app that can auto respond with the coordinates back by SMS?

Is there a way by either an internal file or maybe an app to be able to track the boot log sequence of an Samsung Epic Touch (4G) Sprint (Or any other Android phone for that matter) . so if I have an error or an app is acting up I can tell which app or where in the boot up sequence there is a problem and what is causing it.
Now I have to uninstall the latest apps until I find the one that is causing a problem.
Also is there a way to for lack of a better word to (safe mode) or similar?

Just got my first ICS phone. I'm looking at the data usage analysis tool, and I see that the vast majority of my data usage falls under the heading "Android OS", which sounds pretty generic. Is that some catch-all meaning "anything which doesn't fall under something else", or is it something more specific which I could easily control? What does "Android OS" mean in the context of Data Usage?

I am a developer with an existing android app. Users have asked for a wifi only mode to avoid roaming charges when traveling. I believe I have set it all up successfully but want to be able to validate that theory..
What I am trying to figure out is if there is an app or other way to trap the data coming out of the app via the cell network (lots of background web service calls). Since I do not own all of the web services, I cannot trap from the server side.
I basically want to turn on a trace like you would do in SQL, and look at what is being transmitted on the phone when wifi is off but cell is on. I don't need the actual packets, just that a call was made to one of my https services. If a call is made in wifi only mode, then I know I didn't get everything.

Screenshot was taken at particular time? Is there any app which logs these kind of information.? I heard about logcat extreme app but it is for developers it is complex. I don't requires such complex info app. Just basic things r required. Is there any such app which logs all the activities going on in phone?

I need a time tracking app. There is a lot of time trackers on Google Play and I've tried a lot of them, but in every app I missed one important feature: parallel timers for different clients and jobs.
I need:
- to define my clients, to define my jobs I do for the clients, to define projects.
- to simply choose client, project and kind of job and then start the timer
- to simply start and stop MULTIPLE timers (start and stop one timer, while second timer is still running)
- to export all data in usable form (for billing my clients)
Example of what I mean:
- My job is phone support. I am sitting at home and answering phone calls. I am payed for hours, so I need to start timer and leave it running almost all day untouched (except of lunch time).
- Because I spent most of the time by waiting for calls, I simultaneously do other jobs. I write articles, compose music and do some other work for other clients. So I need to start and stop timers according to actual work - but the "phone support timer" has to be also running. When I am - for example - writing an article and someone calls me, I need to stop "writing article timer", pick up the phone and solve customer's problem. When I drop the phone, I need to start "writing article timer"... etc...
This kind of app with parallel timers I've used on my Psion PDA back in 1998, but I can't find similar app for Android phones.

System settings -> Location services -> Disable google's location service & Location&Google search
Are there any downsides to disabling those? I mean for other apps than googles? Because "Also allow permitted apps to use data from sources such as Wi-Fi andmobile networks to determine your approximate location" doesn't sound all that great to disable. It sounds like this would disable all the apps that want to access those services, not only the google ones, but that wouldn't be true would it?
Basically speaking, I just want to disable all of googles crap (Maps has the most horrible wakelocks ever and from what I can tell none of the other google services I use need my location) without limiting any other apps I might have installed.

So, I've checked 'settings->apps->running' and I see that when I restart my phone the OS turn on Google location Manager, Google Play market, and some other thing.
I would really like if when I turn on my phone- no element could use my GPS unless I specifically tell it to run, then stop the usage when I tell it to close. Part of the tracking prevention, I imagine, will be done by disabling those services which are required for proper part functioning.
I suppose my questions are:
1) What services/elements should I disable?
2) How do I prevent them from running on startup?
3) How do disable parts of android to run on start up, in general?
Also I'd like to note that I would prefer not installing any apps or root the phone.

I have looked in the market and found several applications that will track your phone and plot a route. However, I was hoping to see if anyone has any suggestions on what the best app for this is? I need something that will plot a route and then allow you to follow it back for hiking and such.

Ever since I can remember, I had severe lag when rotating my home screen under 2.1 (usign both the stock launcher and LauncherPro). Basically, we I would rotate from vertical to horizontal or horizontal to vertical, the shortcut icons would display almost instantly, but the widgets could take up to 5 seconds to show up, during which time, the phone was unusable. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling apps, redistributing widgets, etc. and after not getting anywhere, gave up. Two days ago I went to the 2.2 update, and before hand did a complete reset/wipe on the phone. Since then I have reinstalled my apps and manually reconfigured all my settings. Guess what, I still have lag! I read threads all over the place where someone discovers XXX application was causing their phone to lag (K9 mail, Swype, and plenty of others have all been blamed), but without manually going through every possible combination of apps, how can I narrow it down? If this was happening on my computer, I would look at the task manager for something using a lot of RAM or showing CPU spikes, is there an equivalent I can do on android?

I need an app that will allow me to track my kids Moto Droid. Not just his current position but track where he has been as well. I need to be able to access this info from my Incredible or from a computer over the internet. Is there anything like this out there? I don't care if it costs a little $ as long as it works. It needs to be able to run without his noticing it.

Looked around, but haven't found anything that's like this:
Does anyone know of an app that can track one's sleep and mood and overall energy level day to day? I'm looking for something that'll let me rate my fatigue level from 1-10, my overall (i.e. "How do you feel today") from 1-10, the hours of sleep I got, the minutes of exercise, that sort of thing, and then export to CSV so I can keep a record.

I'm looking for an expense-tracking app-specifically one that has catagories, a budget and deducts from those catagories when you input expenses. Can anyone recommend something like this? I downloaded iSpend but it wasn't sufficient for what I was looking for. It wouldn't let me deduct from certain catagories and track spending.

let's say i want to build a smartphone app that tells a user when/where to get off a subway station. i can think of two ways of doing this:
1) using GPS and map of the subway routes, track the location of the user and notifies him when the destination is reached
2) have him press start when he gets on a train as the train starts (which may not be realistic because the user could simply forget to do this), use the known travel time from starting station to end station, and simply notifies him when the time is up.

I've been using an app called Driver Log to track my mileage I drive for work. The app is simple, but it works. It has a start button and and end button. You press start and gets your current location. You press End when you get where you're going and it gets your end destination. Then it calculates the distance and uploads it to a Google docs spreadsheet. Again, it's simple, but it works.
The problem is that under 2.2 it doesn't work well. I gets your starting destination, but if the phone sleeps before you get to your destination, this is lost so your whole trip is a bust. The app is no longer in the market so I can assume the developer has no plans on fixing this. Can anyone suggest a similar app?

I wanted to introduce to you the expense tracking app, ProOnGo Expense. It simplifies the entire expense recording process by letting users create their expense reports just by taking pictures of their receipts. Users can then export their expense reports as an Excel spreadsheet or they can sync ProOnGo Expense with an accounting system like QuickBooks Pro. We also offer the ability for employees to export their expenses in their company's expense report template.Users can also use our Web Portal to access their previous expenses, make changes or delete them, or if their business is signed up with ProOnGo, they can submit, approve or deny the expense.The web portal also let's users customize the expense categories in the app. If there are unique expense categories, such as Horse Feed, users can make the changes via the Web Portal and the app will be updated.And just recently, we've added a new feature that allows users to submit their receipts to the Receipt Reader from their email. So a user just has to attach the receipt images to an email and send it to ProOnGo, and the merchant name, date and total amount will be extracted from each receipt and generated as an expense.

Since the "If you've got it, Flaunt it" thread has been hijacked, maybe a poll would be the best way to track this update. When you get the update, let us know which version you were running before. DO NOT VOTE UNTIL YOU RECEIVE THE OTA.
The approximately date/time you received the OTA and your location as a reply. Let's try to keep this thread free of any other chitchat.

I'm training for a marathon so I am using SportyPal Pro and Cardio Trainer a lot
Usually they ate pretty accurate, but on a longer run, the discrepencies are more pronounced. For instance, I went for a 14 mile run today and Sporty pal told me that I went 14 miles while cardio trainer said I went 15... That's a big difference.
