Android App requests / Looking for an app that does X - thread

Any productivity apps that allow you to define goals/tasks and the amount of hours per week you'd like to spend on them? As you complete the task you can check off an hour and see what remains for the week. Would be cool to go into an overview mode of a selected task to see how many hours have been completed.
 
Hi all,

Looking for an app to track data usage (wifi & 3G) and voice calls. So far I've found apps that do this separately.

Thanks
 
I'm looking for an app that does the following:

  • Have a seperate dialer function where you input emergency numbers (police, ambulance etc) and just press the relevant button to dial
  • It must switch on the GPS.
  • While it is on the dialing screen it must show the current location coordinates where you are calling from (with different coordinate types, so you can just look at the screen and get the information

this is to be used when making emergency calls for accidents etc

If that app does exist, it will require the device to be rooted

Yes, but without a rooted device and Secure settings you cannot toggle the GPS since JellyBean.

This is odd then, cause I'm on kitkat on my Sony Xperea and Sygic can toggle my GPS without being rooted?

Oh wait, my location service is on but my GPS autoswitches when I open an app that uses GPS. Moving on....

Ya, core system software (anything google or manu installed, mostly) can also toggle it, its just market apps that cannot.

Sygic is installed from the app store. But I dont think the GPS part is going to be the problem here...

Anyway, as far as I know, and i speak under correction, all the dialer apps that you get, uses the phone dialer in the end, they dont replace yet. Yes you can browse your logs and contacts, but when you press dial, it interacts with the phone dialer and not replace it completely.
 
The phone dialler is some of the weakest software on the system. I would love a replacement but, yes it is locked and I haven't really seen anything exciting. . There is a new one for iOS ironically that looks interesting
 
I hope Android supports this :
I am looking for an app that will act as a bluetooth audio receiver or Wifi Audio receiver through personal hotspot created by the receiving phone.

Use Case:
My car does not have Bluetooth Audio (that will be the last time I buy one without).
So I thought I would use an old android device to receive bluetooth/wifi audio and run a stereo jack from that phone into the car audio.

I failed to find an app that does this on bluetooth. I found a few that could work on wifi but it did not work so well using wifi hotspot.

I ended up investigating Bluetooth audio receivers such as these http://www.banggood.com/buy/Bluetooth-Audio-Receiver.html , which is probably more practical.
Being a techie though I still want to prove the point :=)
 
IIRC I looked into this a while ago and it is a hardware limitation so no app could help.

I bought a Plantronics K100 which works well
 
Hi,

I'm looking for an app with a widget that allows me to quickly change/flick through APN's and also shows which APN you are currently on. Would be great if it showed in the status bar which APN you're using.

I juggle between Vodacom and FNB Connect APN between the month and find it quite annoying that I have to click through Settings, More, Mobile Networks, APN, and choose.

This app shortcuts directly to the APN selection screen - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.appando.app.changeApn&hl=en

Assistance is appreciated.

Looking for an App that will export S health data, to TCX, Fit, GPX or Polar HRM format. Only formats that Di$covery Health accept.

Or is there another sports tracker that will EXPORT workout data.
I see almost all of them mention importing data and share via social media :(
