Is there a cop radar/detector app for PPC? To slow down when a cop is around, this would be a very useful app if anyone can come up with one.
i'm sure you can make one, but your device doesn't have a radar detector, does it. If they sell bluetooth radars, by all means, try it.
How would your PPC detect a cop? A PPC does not have any type of radar detecting hardware, thus there would be no way to build software for it.
Radar Detector!?!?!?! LMAO!
Well, that any radar detectors are almost useless. By the time it goes off most of the time are already busted.
However...I believe there is an add-on for TomTom Navigator that people report where speed traps are and were, so they are marked on your map as you drive. There are examples of it on Youtube somewhere.
I think it would be sweeter if they incorporated a swiss army toolkit in a PPC.
Come on guys ,
the boy ain't too
bright .
Heres an idea...Don't Speed!
I think it's hilarious when I pull someone over for speeding and they have a radar unit on their dash.....
Sounds like someone had to go back to driving school once or twice
Ummm being a Police Officer I will have to tell you...there is no good radar detectors out there. As earlier stated...by the time your radar detector goes off we already have you. The only time it would be benificial would be when the police officer is running a stationary radar on a main road and has it turned on, just pointing in one direction!
I can see it now...using your Tilt as a radar detector, trying to text message someone while you have a mp3 playing...BAM you smack into a tree!!!

I was thinking something along this line, there is a program like this on Modaco. It's not that great though, looking for something way better than this.
There are many good radar detectors like Escort and many Laser jammer for Cop radars
Only that price is a little high.
Starting from 500 euro

Gotta love the basement troll who still live in his parent basement, to have such low esteem to try to insult someone who he don't even know.
There's Trapster.

You should learn from it and change yours to "Dim Bulb" that would be more fitting. MOD Edit

first question, how how do you want to detect a cop ? Do they send gamma rays
if you mean a radar detector: you should know how they work, here the traffic cops have Laser detecors. And now the Masterquestion noob: what phone do you use that has the hardware to detect laser beams ??? I want it
Maybe you can get help here:

Well i have a TomTom One. and it doesn`t have a radar detector. The only way it anounces radars is if they are posted in the TomTom like POI points of interest like a restaurant a store... but mobile radars sometimes change place. Only fixed ones are more reliable.
I just tried to use the mobile hotspot feature and discovered that ATT expects me to pay a tethering charge (?!?). I didn't have to pay for it on my Tilt2. Does anybody have a work around? Another app perhaps?

I'm after suggestions for a decent STANDALONE mobile phone locator (I don't want it incorporated into an antivirus app). It must make use of maps to locate the position of the phone.

Well there's HTCsense.com. I don't know if it works with the gingerbread update or if you have to root your phone, to get access to it.
Or you could give Prey a try:
preyproject.com (I can't post links -_- )

I bought SeekDroid 2 days ago, just for the same reason. It is THE most lightweight app of its kind, and it cost me only .60 euros.

This looks quite good. Good reviews, features I'm wanting and cheap too. Thanks.
There's also something called Plan B:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.lookout.labs.planb
Seems to work for people.
Ive been using wheresmydroid for past year. Only runs when you text the phone a special keyword. Can be used to find on silent too. Would recommend.
I second Plan B. You can install it remotely from your PC even after you've lost your phone. Provided data is turned on.
An ars article about it.
This is my first time having an NFC device, so please bear with me. I rooted my phone the evening I received it. Now I'm trying to set up Google Wallet, and it says that my device is unsupported. In the help topic regarding this message, it mentions something about rooted devices being unsupported due to security reasons, can I still use this feature? Is it discouraged in any way?
If anybody has some insight or experience with this, I'd like to know.
I have the evo lte rooted with same unsupported device message, yes it will still work

The reason it is discouraged is because anyone (with the now-how) can brute-force access your pin if your phone is rooted. And then skip away making payments on goodies.

Well seems about as secure as having somebody run off with your actual wallet... So off-topic but where are the places where I can actually use Google Wallet >_>

Any place that has tap-to-pay or pay-pass features (forgot what the actual name is). I've seen it at McDonald's, CVS/Walgreens, Best Buy, and a few other large chains around town.

Plenty of you fly to Japan and China, they have been using it for years. You can try looking up PayPass mechant, such as this link: http://www.google.com/wallet/how-it-works/in-store.html
So it doesn't have to be specifically for google wallet? They work on the things like the speedpass at speedway or your creditcard where you just tap it to the machine and it gets your infO?

Awesome! Looking forward to trying this out in the next few weeks. Hope I remember to try it when I see it...
I tried to use this at Walgreens today. They had the translucent blue PayPass terminal. I sat there for about 30 seconds and nothing happened. I even tried to enter the app and still nothing. NFC was on, and my card is attached in Google Wallet.
I think I set up wallet, then unlocked and rooted, then had to re-set up Wallet. Am I doing something wrong? The clerk was staring at me like I was crazy, just holding my phone next to the terminal....

I had that happen at Taco Bueno. And a McDonalds. But at some McDonalds it works. I think that so few people use this system that when its broken no one complains. And its probably never even tested when they set it up.
Typically you can just tap your phone to the thing (no need to be in the app). It'll prompt you for a PIN. Then you can pay.
If it's not working you may have a poor data connection? I think it requires data to work.

I'd still say it's more secure than that. Anyone can swipe a card and charge it as credit. Relatively few people would know how to brute force hack google wallet on a rooted device.
Everyone.
Google wallet does not require a data connection.
If its not working , I read on the wallet website to "hold it about an inch" from the terminal. Without placing it on the terminal. Try to see if that works.

Yeah mine didn't work at the gas station the other day, though I didn't log out of Google Wallet before I flashed a rom and rooted recently so some say that it'll never work again after that because of the secure element getting locked or something like that. Hopefully that's not true.
I've flashed and reflashed a lot. All you need to do is delete the data, connect to high speed internet like WiFi, then open it up. Worked for me.

Hey guys, as you might know, the "OK Google" hotword detection is not able to be used when the screen is off. I thought this was odd given the sheer amount of sensors packed in the Mate 9, so I wanted to see if I could find a workaround. And find a workaround I did! Best of all, it does not require root and does not drain any extra battery as it takes advantage of one of Huawei's native EMUI features
I'll post a tutorial on the XDA Portal so keep a look out for it!

No. OpenMic+ stopped working awhile back because Google told them to stop. Plus using OpenMic+ leads to excessive battery drain.
