schondie Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I bought an i-mobile IQX3 (my first smartphone) and I've been playing around with it for the past two weeks. In that time I have found these apps to be worth having. Xprivacy (free) Airdroid (free) Opera browser (free) All in one toolbox (free) Greenify (free) DU Battery (paid for) Lenovo Super Camera (snagged from a Facebook page) * * Use with caution as it contains a virus. I use Xprivacy to stop it connecting to the net. What are your favourite apps? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRinPDX Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I have many, here are the faves or most-often used. All are free although I find the small fee for cross-platform LastPass to be invaluable. And I upgraded Prey to accommodate more devices. Snapseed Google Earth Google Sky Magisto Orienteer Bubble Metal Sniffer LastPass Prey Astro File Manager Currents Backgammon I also use Google Drive and Google Now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my GT-N7100 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app I'm running 4.4.2 on my S3 (i9300) The first thing I do when I buy a Samsung phone is to root it and put on an AOSP ROM In no particular order: * Maps * Greenify * Better Battery Stats * Dolphin Zero * Google+ * Tune in Radio (listen to my favorite radio stations from back home via BT in my car * PDF viewer (dev joseph paul cohen) * Swiftkey (best multi-language predictive keyboard ever) * Ad Away (only available as APK via XDA dev.) * Boeffla config V2 * Snapseed Nice list.

bobl Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I see a few people like greenify... Personally I gave up on the idea of tweaking the thing to get more battery life out of it simply because it's pointless (for me) - being a heavy user, what consumes most of my battery is the display - which there's naff all you can do about short of using the device less... :-) Meanwhile though, for you battery tweaking fans, I do like wakelock detector... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shurup Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Is there a good free one that can lock the phone securely in case it is stolen? Avast in its free version can do it and I'm sure many other Internet security apps can. You'd need to be rooted though to give such powers to an app.Sent from my SM-N900 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thibk there's a free version and the Pro version allows you to do a data wipe if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shurup Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Yeah, data wipe, remote lock, unlock, activate alarm even when the phone is on silent, send its GPS location, take and email a mug shot of whoever is trying to unlock the phone, lock the phone if SIM is changed, etc... most of these are standard features of most free security apps, some features are paid. Regardless of a free of paid version, the phone needs to be rooted or none (or very few) of the mentioned features would work. By default Android doesn't give this sort of power to any app so root access is required.
