How smart is your phone?

[greall]

I was just wondering what most people use their smart phones for:normal browsing,sole Internet connection,vid uploads,streaming media,enterprise equipment,etc.?

I was watching my brother-in-law do his entire project there on his IP from typing it up to sending it to his work team members for comment before uploading it to the group head.

Emails, browsing, music & videos, chat, pictures and upload, games, memopad, calender.

At one point in time it was my only source of internet. I don't really use my fone for calls.

The smartness of a phone is directly proportional to the smartness of its user.

Hmm...I use it to check my e-mail. BBM is a regular thing as well as the Facebook and Twitter apps. I occasionally surf the web if I need to check something on the go, but that's not the norm. GPS with Google Maps has come in handy before, as have apps for the weather and currency conversion...

100% voice commanded over the bluetooth deck in my car, this includes sending texts, emails etc through voice.

When i get home it knows that i'm home, then proceeds to turn on wifi, disable data, bluetooth and dim the screen.

When i leave home it also knows and turns on bluetooth, connects to the deck in the car, turns on data and enables automatic screen brightness.

Reads all my texts and emails when i want it to.

When i have get down and dirty to enter text physically, there's swype which makes it a breeze!

It's perfect for me right now although everything took a while to set to up properly.

I can tell that wolfie has a marriage made in heaven

Nice one Wolfie. I forgot to mention my phones (together with in-car equipment) know when I'm in the car and automatically sync to bluetooth. One phone is synced to a voice command hands-free unit to dial and answer while the other is synced to the car deck and can be operated via the deck's touchscreen. If you don't mind me asking, is the feature to read and send texts and e-mail through voice something on the phone by itself or is it supported via a hands-free device? Sounds like a pretty nice setup.

It reads through the deck but it can also dual speak through the phone speaker if you wish it to. Everything is A2DP.

I was considering purchasing an extra unit to do voice dialing, however i choose a Sony deck with A2DP built in. I think it's a bit more elegant and easier to hear than the other separate units, for e.g. it will fade out and pause your audio when a phone call comes in and when it hangs up, it will fade in and continue playing. Heck, it even came with an external mic.

I just wish we had 3G or 4G so i could stream audio too, then i'd be set

I'll be upgrading the the Galaxy S II this month so i'd have to reconfigure everything. It should not be a problem once i get the phone rooted and import all my profiles(hopefully).

Queens mom Erum Malik said when she told cops her stolen iPhone had emailed her a picture of the thief, they thought she was joking.
"They didn't believe me," Malik told the Daily News Thursday as detectives chased tips about the bandit captured on camera by an anti-theft app called iGotYa.
"Now he's in the newspaper, and everyone's going to know who he is," she crowed.
Malik owned the black iPhone4 for just four months; it was a replacement for one snatched out of her toddler's hand in a grocery story in the spring.
Almost on a lark, the mother of four downloaded the third-party $5.99 app, which snaps a picture of anyone trying to open a locked iPhone and emails it to the owner.
She wasn't even sure it would work - Apple does not recommend installing outside software on its phones - but she soon had a chance to test it.
On Monday, as she walked to her parked car, a man jostled her, slipped the gadget out of her pocket and hurried away before she realized what happened.
She tried calling the phone, and it was switched off. She started sending texts, offering $200 for its return. Then she remembered the app.
"My husband said it was not going to work but when I checked my email, there was his photo," she marveled.
There was also an approximate location of where the phone was, thanks to GPS. She went to the neighborhood to see if anyone knew the robber.
"I didn't want him to be in trouble. I just wanted to get my phone back," Malik, 31, explained.
Finally, she called the police
"When I told them I had the picture, everyone was surprised," she said.

I got this from my e-mail. I don't know how effective it is.

4 Things you might not have known about your Cell Phone

For all the folks with cell phones. (This should be printed and kept in your car, purse, and wallet. Good information to have with you.)
There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies.
Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival. Check out the things that you can do with it:

FIRST (Emergency)
The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile network and there is an Emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly, this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.
SECOND (Hidden Battery Power)

Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370#. Your cell phone will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell phone next time.

THIRD (How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone? )
To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following Digits on your phone:
*#06# .
A 15-digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe.
If your phone is stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.
And Finally....

FOURTH (Free Directory Service for Cells)
Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411 information calls when they don't have to. Most of us do not carry a telephone directory in our vehicle, which makes this situation even more of a problem. When you need to use the 411 information option, simply dial:
(800) FREE411 or (800) 373-3411
without incurring any charge at all. Program this into your cell phone now.

This is the kind of information people don't mind receiving, so pass it on to your family and friends.
