Vodafone V845

It sounds like great value for money.

The app is called aDyno

Very cool app, used it on the HTC Dream. Want to check if it works on the 845 before I get one.

Thanks
 
Tried it. It installed. Didnt calibrate for the car thou. Pitch is off. App thinks i drive 130 in town. Will see if i can get the calibration right, then test again. Any tips on what test is nice to try? Dont see how a dyno would work, dont see the phone reading my revs.

The best thing I've found is the Timed Run

Once the orientation is correct, click start and wait for it say - Drive when ready.

This will give you 0-100, 100-0, 1km sprint, quarter mile etc.

You can get more support on the app here: http://www.adyno.net/

It seems very accurate on the timed run, measured a Golf 5 Gti - It timed 0-100 in 7.9sec which is close to claimed figures.

Thanks.
 
Was thinking about buying this phone for Christmas, either this or that nokia with free gps for the same price

dont waste cash on a limited nokia market dude , just get this phone , get navdroyd free and download all the south african maps via pc and save it to your sd card .... free gps and no internet required !

Just a quick update.

1st off, for those that suffer with battery life ( I noticed it isnt phone specific, but more of an Android thing).

Turn OFF Active Sync, GPS, WiFi etc.
Turn OFF "Enable always mobile data"
Turn ON "Use 2G Networks"
Dim your screen to medium (via widget is fine)

I found the above settings to extend my batter by about 150%. Bit of a hassle to get things going once u need access to stuff (internet, facebook etc as you need to enable mobile data and deselect 2G), but well worth it.

On another note, I have rooted my phone with Mr Rom edition 1.9.5.
As of yesterday, it launcher pro gave me 5 days to upgrade, so I looked around for a new ROM. I never liked Mr Rom V2 and up, so I decided to try out The Celestial Teapot.

Guys those of you running this phone and not tried Celectial Teapot, I urge you to do it. Best Rom I have found to date.
