I liked it too but couldn't figure out how to get the Browser out of Mobile mode like you can with HTC Stock browser

Any ideas?

p.s Khaaan! loving the wallpaper :D

What do you mean by mobile mode specifically? Is this why images are horrifically compressed even when opened full size?

Try an app called 'Bedside' I bought it yesterday ~£2 and it's been brilliant. Allows a whitelist of contacts for texts and calls, should be just what you're looking for :)

This was my first purchase from the market (everything else was free) and glad I did.


Bedside is a CRACKING app....

Dont need the clock function so I set it up to keep the screen timeout as normal. Added some numbers to the whitelists of text and calls and then tested it from my home phone and it works flawlessly....

Added the widget to my home screen so I just press it and the phone goes silent but will still sound if ppl on my whitelist either call or text me.... EXACTLY what I wanted :)

For $1.99, great bargain...

Thanks again Micro :)
 
I find the default browser faster than Dolphin/Opera too. Plus it has multitouch zoom :)

Have you made sure the work location is above default in the list? Priority goes from top to bottom.

How have you set it up, what conditions are you using?

Yeah, I had Work at the top and Default just below it. Work had a location with a 100m diameter which lowered the ring tone volume. Default had no conditions and had my standard ring tone volume.

At times both seemed to be bold and at others Default was bold :confused:

I mean if you goto eBay or Facebook etc it opens them in their mobile version of the website. In the stock browser you can turn this off so it opens in the full site and not mobile version
 
Wheres my droid! What a fantastic app!

Also the bluetooth toggle is great too that really bugged me on my iPhone, not any more :D
 
What's a good app for night time clock instead of a bed side alarm clock? I see there is a pre installed one but it times out and screen goes blank after 5 seconds?

Does this def allow a specific whitelist for specific contacts (calls/SMS).

I looked at the site and it says it mutes everything except for calls.... I want something to mute the phone (no vibrate either) unless specific contacts from the phonebook call/text me then it sounds as normal. Having it activate and deactivate at certain times would be ideal as well :)

If it does, then this is ideal but I dont want to buy anything unless I know its what I want....


Edit: Found out that it does have whitelists :)

Whats yours thoughts about this app ??

Yes, as I said it has whitelisting. Anyway, if you don't like it just get a refund. You have 24 hours.


Edit: glad you like it! :)
