Does anyone have anything for automating tasks I. E turning off cell and sync at a certain time of night / day of week? Free if possible. I've seen one free called automateit....

Tasker is a very popular one. It's £3.99, but it is capable of doing loads and loads of things

Did you not see what the process involves to get a US Amazon account?

I haven't been questioning the morality of it either. You and the other one just didn't understand how this was fraud so I was happy to show you.

Unless I'm wrong?

You are wrong. It isn't fraud, not even close.

What's the best method of using your phone on a PC via USB?

Ideally like to be able to reply to texts and such without touching my phone.

Oh, and new AB is awesome

MyPhoneExplorer is quite good.

Also there is a beta app knocking about called Texty (you need to be accepted into the Beta program) for just texting from your browser, if that's all you need it for.

Thanks, I've applied for Texty Beta, can't download MyPhoneExplorer but I can't download .exe files at work

I've been using MPE but for some reason SMS that I send via the PC do not get saved on the phone. They used to on my old K800i but not with the Desire Z.

I've just started using Picme to send texts from the pc. Amazing app!!

Awesome dude, I've been after something like this for ages. It works great! Android just gets better all the time.

Anyone know why I can't get a calculator widget with Launcher Pro?
With HTC Sense it works fine? Just the stock one.

If it's a HTC widget, then it will only work with the HTC Sense framework.

Otherwise, I'm not sure!
