    Rain Alarm

    One of my favourite apps that I have been using for years has excellent Wear integration. Rain Alarm (free) and Rain alarm Pro (about $4). I live in Brisbane Australia, so we get alot of storms in Summer, and this app is very useful for warning me when a storm is coming. It's linked to weather...

    Favourite features

    These are some of the things I like about the Smartwatch 3, and why I think it is the best watch on the market. Top of the list has to be the waterproofing. I have been wearing watches for 25 years and they have always been waterproof so that I can jump into the pool or take a shower without...

    Annoyances

    There are only a few things that bother me about my new watch. The first is that the vibration motor is not as strong as it could be. My last watch was the Sony Smartwatch 2, and the motor in that felt stronger to me. Although I did have it in a metal band, and the rubber band could be...

    wear mini launcher

    One of the best apps I have found for wear. Basically a much less clunky way of starting apps on my watch. It creates a icon tray that you can swipe in from the edge of the watch screen, and if you swipe again you get a settings screen. Personally I found it easier to use by using watchmaker...

    card previews

    This tip works on all wear devices, but I am trying to make this forum more active. If you turn off card previews in the Google Android wear app on your phone, you still get notifications like normal, but they do not stay on the screen after the watch goes back into standby. This means your...

    backlight vs battery life

    Since this watch is viewable with the screen off, I tried the backlight in it's lowest setting instead of auto. I found that it still looks good and figure that it will improve battery life a little. Using the same principle, I set the screen on time to it's minimum of 3 seconds. This can be...

    weather app with alarms?

    does anybody know of an app that you can set alarms on the phone for? for example: If there is a weather update with a severe hail storm warning an alarm goes off on my phone even better would be something that I can set conditions for the alarm to trigger. Like if the weather forecast is...

    daylight saving

    Anyone else in Queensland have the wrong time since the rest of the country went into dst? I know how to manually override it, but if I travel anywhere it won't auto update.

    Shazam started charging iphone users!

    Shazam recently released a premium version for AU$5.99 for the iphone & updated their basic app to only allow 5 songs per month. I'm not posting to be smug about it, I'm posting because they will likely do the same to us. So if Shazam push out an update for their Android app, make sure you...

    audio bookmarking with remote integration

    Just checking. My own research has told me that, currently, I can either have an app that supports bookmarking, like google listen, or I can use the integrated music player that supports the headphone remote and control buttons on the drag to unlock screen. But I can't have both? Btw, it's...

    Question for Australian Telstra users

    So I just got my desire a few days ago & I'm pretty happy for the most part. I'm a little disappointed by the battery life & think that HTC should have given it a bigger battery, even if they had to make the phone a little bigger. The could have made the phone with a much higher capacity battery...

    Batteries explained

    After some further research, I've discovered that I have made a mistake. It doesn't really change the way most people use the phone, but it is important to know. Since this forum has no strikethrough option & I want to be transparent about my corrections, I will put incorrect information into...
