Does anyone know any GPS tracking tool that hides in the background and doesn't show up an icon when its in use?

Cerberus does this, as well as loads of other features if your rooted.

Latitude does this...

Well, actually, if you want a GPS lock, I don't think any app does this without the GPS symbol showing up. But they track without an icon of their own.

Does anyone bother with Antivirus on their S3?

As long as your rooted Cerberus will track without gps and its own symbol, the app can also be hidden in the app draw

I agree, especially as it's free, and advert free, as well!

I have just downloaded it onto my Nexus 7 also.

Whatsapp is asking to pay now

Whatsapp has always been long term free trial, mine expires in Feb 2013 although it was meant to expire in April this year but it auto extended itself before then so it may extend again.

Mine doesnt expire till...02/08/2020

According to my payment info and ive never paid for whatsapp since i downloaded it onto my S3 or any of my other Android handsets. Only time i paid for whatsapp was a couple of yrs ago on my BB and that doesnt expire till 4 Apr 2020.

Mine doesn't expire until 2020 - I wonder if it's because I did pay for the iPhone version when I had one.

Yeah I think you purchase it for a particular number.

Deep · 8 Nov 2012 at 21:05

I've had if since it came out for Andrioid. I don't mind paying for it tbh, never had an issue and it does all I want it to

What games are you guys playing ?

Also what's the best organiser app out there

Addicted to Broken Sword at the moment (classic point and click adventure)

Humble Bundle 4 is out, Crayon Physics looks good.

Also just purchased http://www.humblebundle.com/ loads of games that look decent for whatever you want to pay.

I'm looking fora good calendar with reminder notification any suggestions

AndyCr15 · 9 Nov 2012 at 02:19

Is there a reason not to use Google Calendar? Certainly my fav calendar.

Richie · 9 Nov 2012 at 07:06

I use the S3 stock calendar myself... works well.

EniGmA1981 · 9 Nov 2012 at 07:16

Calendar app or calendar widget?

If it's an app you want, then S Planner is perfect IMO (just carp colours lol) if it's a widget you're after, try Pure Grid Calendar for an actual 'calendar' display - or Smooth Calendar for an agenda type widget

Was never that keen on the original angry birds game though.
