He said "ie: if a battery app wants dialer prems". It doesn't, it wants permission to read & write to external storage.

ie: if a battery app wants dialer prems its a hell no
Speaking of which, I saw an update to the YouTube downloader app Tubex/Tubegod (not in g-play) wanting permission to make phone calls just the other day. I also said hell no & went to find another app. I still have the old apk lying around though.

Erm, I was just giving an example of what to look out for. No clue what the app you mention need/wants.

Maybe reaching here...
I am busy playing an old classic game on my PC called Gabriel Knight. In the game you carry around a tape recorder. For every discussion you have in the game a new tape is created as per person or topic, and when you open each tape the contents of the tape is bookmarked in sections allowing you to play back the relevant parts.
I thought...maybe a cool idea for an android app?
So with a nice retro-ish interface you start a new recording (i.e. for a meeting or interview), and you get to file it, play it back afterwards and bookmark the parts of the audio to label accordingly. Maybe even to save time it has voice detection to skip past long gaps in the recording.
Anyone know if such a thing exists even in part? I see a tonne of recorder apps already and haven't checked them all yet.

Hi all
Im looking for an app that I can control which cell tower I connect to, kinda like a white/black list.
Does something like that exist?
Cheers
edit: I have root

Llama does just that. It's kinda like a mini Tasker app. I guess Tasker does that too, but Llama more natively in my opinion.

Under recent the towers are listed. You can long press and select ignore.

Thanks pal this is exactly what I'm looking for. Let me see if it really works though...
I think that just makes Llama ignore it for event actions.

I think you are correct. It doesnt stop the phone from connecting to the tower
damn
I also tired to find an app that will force connection to a specific tower once. I could not find anything. I think your phone should connect to the closest signal. I think cell towers controls this to an extent e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_breathing_(telephony)
