Thanks :smileyhappy:

 

The app/widget is called 3G watchdog. Its fully customisable - quota amount, at what % to pop up a warning and even auto disable data after a set %.

Also records usage per day, week, month and plan cycle.

Ok mines pretty basic but it has some good stuff. i used accuweather cause it looks pretty and its pretty bloody acurate better than the guy on the news. I've got 4 vodafone apps that tell me my different usages so i can just see everything all a once and dont have to switch. The dissapointing thing is the background is actually a gif image i used as a live wallpaper.. (i've been using it since my first symbian phone) all the green sprites move.


I also have a torch on every screen cause i'm constantly walking around the house in the dark XD

 

I dont know if this makes a difference to you guys but i also have a custom app launcher cause smasungs standard one was annoying me and i like the one on the right cause its more htc style

Cool... I like the torch on every page... mine is close to the homepage for the same reason :smileytongue:

 

I dumped the clock from my homescreen as there is always a small one in the notifications bar anyway. I keep a large one on my lock screen, so one press of the home button brings it up.

 

Have a look at BeWeather for graphics. It doesn't show them in the widget as much, but opening up the app shows weather graphics just like live wallpapers. It even adjusts for day and night. I will correct my first post, as I have just checked and you can size the widget up to 4 x 3 and even include the clock in the widget.

 

That gif must look pretty cool with the sprites moving around...

 

Cheers,

Yea its pretty epic and best of all it uses less power than a standard Live wallpaper.

 

Ohh and i also added a note in my original post cause i have a customized app viewer cause the stock one annoyed me

Well, not everyone would find them easy. I do agree they aren't anything like the 12 labours of Hercules. But our experts have earned their kudos (and their GALAXY S III) by answering real people's questions and providing support.

 

Our challenges are around how someone would use a phone day to day. But there's a few twists coming along the way I promise.

Would you prefer I post the challenge for the next day the night before?

 

And harder challenges with other prizes? I have no idea what you are talking about. No clue. No idea whatsoever, move along.........

If they made this forum available on tapatalk it would be awesome. I would do every challenge but I can't be bothered going to my laptop to post images and attachments.. and the mobile site doesn't support that..
