Must Have Apps for the Android Platform: Part 2
Welcome back to my series on Must-Have applications for the Android Phone OS platform. This edition will cover useful utilities for using your phone as more than a phone.
If you haven’t had a chance you can read Part 1 here.
This app lets you analyze Wi-Fi networks around you to find open networks and to determine signal strength anywhere you can bring your phone. Use it to determine where to place your router in your home, use it to determine what channel your router should be on in the busy Wi-Fi airwaves of today.
PDA Net allows you to connect to the internet on your computer through your phone. With PDA Net installed… as long as you have internet on your phone, you can use the data plan on your phone through your laptop for no additional charge!!!
That means if you have unlimited data on your phone, you can use your phone to access the internet as much as you want through your computer.
The droid light is exactly what it sounds like. It can be used top control the LED for the camera on your phone turning the phone into a pretty powerful flashlight or signaling device with one click.
Chances are when the powers out you will not have a flashlight on hand but you may have your phone with you. Now all you need to do is turn on the droid light and you’re all set.
Ring Droid allows you to create any ringtone you want. Literally anything you want. It will allow you to modify wav, mp3 and voice recordings with any start and finish time code you want. The possibilities are endless!!!!
GPS test app is great for testing your phone’s gps feature and seeing real-time data from the GPS. It can show you what satellites your phone can see, which ones it can communicate with, the speed, position and altitude data raw and more.
Neat for figuring out problems or for navigating in the woods with a map and no cellular service.
Stay tuned for more killer app coverage. Up next… GAMES!!!
