I think Im done with Android , after almost two years and 5 different phones all constantly getting buggier as time goes by, I'm going back to iPhone when iPhone 5 arrives, sure their isn't as much customization, but the stability and usability is unparalleled.

Good luck, you probably dont mind paying twice the price of better phones

Anyone else use Tasker? It's the most freakin amazing program ever.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

I installed it many months ago, but uninstalled it cos I couldn't figure it out. Worth another try, you say?

 

[JCK]

What does it do?

We don't have that issue here in the US phones are all subsidized and coat about the same. Also my ATRIX off contract cost more than an iphone off contract

Sheik: Definitely worth another try. It's got a bit of a learning curve, but it feels like a whole new level of awesomeness once you get it.

What does it do?

It basically lets you automate anything and everything on your phone. You define a condition (e.g. a time range, location, connection to a particular WiFi network), and set actions for when that condition is met.

For example:

* When I'm using Maps or Navigation, it automatically turns on my GPS and display auto-rotation, and sets screen brightness to 100%. Also when I receive an SMS while driving, it reads the message to me. If I get a phonecall, it activates bluetooth so I can take the call using my headset.
* When I get within 150m of my house, it switches on WiFi and connects to my home network, and makes notifications + ringer audible.
* When my battery reaches 15%, it dims the display, turns off auto brightness and deactivates autosync.
* When I have classes, my phone is set to silent.

The possibilities are endless! It's a bit complicated to use, but a lot of you guys are geeks and shouldn't find it too difficult.

Other things you might do:
Turn on GPS and record your parking spot location when your phone is undocked
Send a message to your wife saying you'll be home in 20 minutes when you leave work
Turn off vibration when your phone is lying on a flat surface
Poll a weather server, and have it wake you up 30 minutes earlier on cold days so you can warm up the car
