#33656 — Must Have Apps

I have a Lenovo Phab Plus, the model was made for the Chinese market but I 
got it (new) for £200 from eBay from an enterprising seller who seems to 
have shipped a load in to the UK.

I have installed Facebook Messenger on it to keep in touch with daughter. 
Anything good or bad known about this app? In theory it works over the 
Internet so no charges.

I have also installed Pushbullet which links my laptop and 'phone together 
so that I can send & receive texts from the laptop which is quite neat. 
Again I think it is free but if anybody knows different I'd like to know.

I have used computers since the Commodore Vic 20 and the BBC Micro but 
since this 'phone is the first that is actually big enough for me to use 
comfortably I'd be interested by any recommendations for "must have" apps 
to make it even more useful/usable.

My deal with BT gives me free WiFi pretty well anywhere in the UK so I 
have Internet access most of the time without using mobile data.

Thanks.

I use Whatsapp for mobile communications to the family - we have a group
set up that echoes round. The new Google Duo sounds good and does video
calling over WiFi - but it may be difficult to stop it using 4G when
there is no WiFi signal.

There are so many useful phone apps it's quite hard to pick out the
best. However, I wouldn't like to be without:-

WPS Office or similar - you may already have it as standard.
Dropbox

As you have BT WiFi:-

The BT WiFi app
BT mobile app (if you have their Mobile SIM too )

If you intend to use Wifi a lot:-
Wifi Analyser (by Kevin Yuan).
SWIFI (free) to optimise connections.

Barcode Scanner (by ZXing)

I have several others which I use extensively, but they are all related
to specific interests of mine, or specific firms or products.

The only one for which I paid significant cash is the CoPilot satnav
app. I prefer this and my phone to any of the dedicated Satnavs I have
tried, and is more efficient since I always have my phone with me anyway
- even in other people's cars. The European map set and voice navigation
has a lifetime licence costing about £20, from memory.

None of these may be of interest, of course - but they all work well.

Many thanks Bob :-)

I have the BT Apps but had a look at the others you suggest. I think I 
have to follow my daughter on messaging or I won't hear from her!

The WiFi scanner and barcode analyser are very neat and work well.

It's new territory for me as this is the first 'phone that is big enough 
for me to operate while still portable. I do have an AnTeck (Chinese) 
device with a 9.6" screen which takes a SIM and identifies itself as a 
'phone but I feel a real pratt holding it to my ear!!!

Thanks again.

Forgive me smiling (you wouldn't know that - but I was) - the mental
picture of you using your giant phone reminded me of a chap who used to
sing "Mule Train" whilst bashing himself of the head with a tin tray in
time to the Mule Train whip cracks. The Internet knows everything - here
he is (Bob Blackman) on Utube:-

A few apps I find useful on my phone .  .  .

ES File Explorer: Useful for seeing what's where, and it also has a 
built-in FTP server which I use a lot for copying files (e.g. 
photographs) back and forth to my PC

K-9 Mail: Enables me to monitor multiple email accounts when on the move

MySupermarket: Compare prices for all your regular grocery purchases at 
Sainsbury's, Tesco, Morrisons, etc. and decide what to buy where

OsmAnd: Download maps for anywhere in the world, and find your way about 
in strange places (assuming your phone has a GPS) - in which case

GPS Status: Shows strength of GPS signal plus current position, speed, etc.

Fantastic app IMO. What I especially like about K-9 Mail is the ability 
to have six lines of the message shown on the incoming mail list. In 
most cases I can then just scroll the list and read the mail at the same 
time. If there are no replies then a simple select all/delete finishes 
the session.

For Gmail users like me: It's a little tricky to first set up since you 
need to obtain a special app password in settings but that's a one time 
thing and from there on works flawlessly.

Whose GPS Status?
When I search for GPS Status in Play Store, I am offered:
GPS Status & Toolbar  MobWIA - EclipseSim  4.5
GPS Status Test & Fix - No A:  Mark Pfluger  4.1
GPS Status PRO = (legacy key) MobWIA - EclipseSim  4.7
GPS Status  Pizza Entertainment  4.1
GPS Status  espresso3389  4.1
and 50+ other apps.

I sometimes have GPS location issues and NOW know that it is possible to
check signal quality.

ES is still useful, but it has become so bloated in recent releases, 
with tools that don't really belong in a file manager, that I hesitate 
to recommend it.

I'm not sure what to recommend in its place, though.

> K-9 Mail: Enables me to monitor multiple email accounts when on the

Definitely. The stock Android EMail app has many shortcomings, and K9 
is much more functional.

[FWIW the one that annoys me most is that the stock Android app doesn't 
create an "In-Reply-To" header when sending a reply, so desktop clients 
like Thunderbird do not see the message as part of the existing mail 
thread.]

I'll also put in a plug for RealCalc, which is an excellent and 
well-featured calculator app with scientific functions and base 
conversion features.

I'm also quite fond of the Google Docs family of apps, especially 
Google Keep as a note-taker (but then I'm not paranoid enough to worry 
that the boys and girls in Mountain View are nosy enough or sad enough 
to be interested in what I keep in their cloud -- were I so, I 
shouldn't be using Android at all -- YMMV).

I have been put off Google Keep because there seems no easy way to
backup the notes. They are not routinely backed up by my phone's
backup application. The problem is explained and a clumsy solution is
provided here <http://bevhoward.com/droid/keeptips.html#backup>.

Yes, that's true, and it is a concern.

The things I tend to use Keep for are not (generally) things that 
require long-term backup, though, so I can live with it. Keep isn't 
well-suited to long-term storage of a database of must-have facts.

Keep came with my phone when I got it, and along withb a bunch of
other pre-installed apps I had no idea what it was or what it was for.

Now that Evernote is being restricted, I've become more interested,
and wonder how easy it is to get notes entered into Keep on a phone
transferred to a desktop computer running Windows.

Just sign into Google on the Windows desktop machine and browse to:

https://keep.google.com/

The thing I like about Keep is I can access the notes from any device
with downloadable apps for Android and iOS, and using a browser on
Windows and Mac OS. Everything just synchronises seamlessly by itself.

If you are a Gmail user here is just a simple alternative to 
Keep that may be useful. I've used it for several years now 
(before Keep was around).

I simply keep my notes as *permanent* drafts in Gmail. 
They're easily edited. You can attach photos (and other 
items)as saved files. They're synced and can be accessed in 
any browser on any OS. Further they can be accessed in most 
any email client that Gmail will work with. (I use K-9 
Mail.) They're easily copied to another document using 
copy/paste. And there are several formatting options.

It couldn't be any easier. Just open a web browser on your desktop computer 
and go to keep.google.com. As long as you login to the same google account 
on both the browser and your phone, everything is just there, synced 
automatically. Create or edit a note on any device and it immediately syncs 
to every other device.

One of the best features of Keep is the ability to share notes.  My Keep 
has a list I named "Groceries" and have shared with my wife's google 
account. Either of us can edit the list. In fact, we can even add items 
with voice commands, ala, "Okay, google. Add milk to my groceries list." 
When she later stops by the grocery store and pulls up the list on her 
phone, any items I added are automatically there on the list.

Continuing from my last post on using Gmail drafts for 
keeping notes:

Gmail drafts are synced so just open the browser or device 
to Gmail and there are your notes. Use copy/paste to 
transfer them anywhere.

Though the wife and I have separate Gmail accounts they can 
both be on one device and either edited. So your grocery 
list thing should work, however Keep would probably be 
better for this application. (I do share her Google Calendar 
using the above method so that I know what my plans are for 
the coming week.)

Yep, I can talk to my devices too. Problem is (like the 
wife) they seldom understand me. So I end up bringing up the 
keyboard for corrections. Progress? YMMV.

But I don't want it to be "just there".

I want to know if it can be "here" as well, on my computer, accessible
when I have no Internet access (such as when I'm travelling with my
laptop). Evernote used to be so accessible, and still is to a limited
extent.

I do the same ... I don't know why I bother because she NEVER looks at 
the list ... probably too busy organizing events for the First Church of 
Ludd the Martyr!

Somebody mentioned just saving a grocery list email draft...

OK, I'm saving a 'grocery list' draft with my computer using 
Thunderbird.  It's not showing up at the gmail website and I can't see 
it with my phone.  Does it have to be written at the website?

All my sent mail (written with TB) gets saved at the gmail site 
automatically -- which I kind of don't like.  Why not drafts?

Junk mail envelopes are a good Luddly grocery list medium.  She probably 
already knows about that.
