Review Summary

Since it's founding in 2012, popular ridesharing app Lyft has taken off and become a household name. With thousands upon thousands of riders requesting rides every day, it is no wonder the app has done so well. While most people only experience the rider side, this review will go into my personal experience as a Lyft driver.

In-Depth Lyft Driver Review

Overview

I drive for Lyft and this is my Lyft driver review…
I have seen a lot when I have driven for Lyft. I have seen people laugh and I have seen people cry. I have seen couples madly in love and I have seen couples fighting like the world is about to end. But most of all, I have seen drunk people. Tons and tons of drunk people. But looking back on my Lyft experience, I have nothing bad to say about the company. They provide me with extra money, and I can work whatever hours I want, whenever I want. All I have to do is push the driver button and I’m in business.

Lyft Driver App

The first thing I should talk talk about before I dive into everything is the actual driver app. the app looks very similar to the passenger app, but is actually facing the opposite way that passengers see. It can be accessed by pressing the steering wheel in the upper right-hand corner of the app, which basically just tells passengers that you are available to pick them up.
From a functional standpoint, the driver side of the app is minimal but very useful. You just flip into driver mode and then when a request comes, it pops up on the screen. You have 15 seconds to accept it otherwise it moves on and offers the request to the next available driver. If you accept the request you simply go to the passenger using the integrated navigation, and then press a button letting them know you have arrived.
Once they get in the car, you start the ride, which the app automatically tracks for you. When you arrive at the destination, you press another button to end the trip, rate the passenger, and you then become available again for more passengers to request a ride from you. Simple enough!
The driver side of the app is packed with resources such as your referral code, insurance and vehicle information, as well as links to the Lyft help center that answer any questions you may have. Overall, it is very well designed, both graphically and functionally.

Customer Support

I have only had a few problems in all my time with Lyft, and customer support has done a great job of helping me through them. The app is reliable for the most part, but is slow or buggy once in a while. The Lyft team is great about updating it though to give the drivers the best experience possible.
I admit it, I occasionally forget to begin the trip or forget to log out and miss a bunch of requests. I simply email the Lyft team and they always fix my issues right away. In addition, if you get in an accident or a passenger throws up in your car (this hasn’t happened to me yet.. knock on wood) you simply call Lyft’s emergency number and they will immediately begin fixing the situation. It is nice to know that I have them there whenever I need them.

Income

The income that I generate from Lyft is a nice addition to the income I make at my full time job. If I drive during the weekends, I usually make $150-$200. Add bonuses to this and it can be quite a bit more some times. The average ride usually nets me between $7 and $10, but I have had rides that have earned me $60+. These are rare, but they happen from time to time. While $7 doesn’t sound like much, do that 15 times a night and you are earning some nice cash by the end of the night.
If you are lucky you can hit what is called “Prime Time,” which is increased rates based on supply versus demand. If a ton of riders have the app open and are looking for a ride, Lyft will charge a percentage more based on that demand. So if a normal ride was $10, for example, with 75% Prime Time the ride would come out to be $17.50. So it is worth it to drive, especially on the weekends.
I have attached a couple of my pay statments for proof that Lyft does in fact generate a decent amount of money.

This is a pay statement from driving one Friday night for a little under 7 hours

This is a pay statement for driving one slow Saturday night and another day during the week

Time Consumed

The nice thing about Lyft is that you can literally drive whenever you want. All you have to do is press a button and you can start making money. I don’t know of a single job out there that allows you this same freedom. You can drive for up to 10 hours at a time, then the app will kick you off till you have taken an 8 hour break. This allows Lyft to limit the number of tired drivers on the road, simply for liability sake.
Personally, I like to drive for at least 3 hours at a time. I usually get off work on Friday evening at 5 and immediately flip into driver mode. I drive for a few hours, make some extra cash (usually about $50) then I head out with friends. In the case that my friends aren’t doing anything, I simply keep driving till I get tired and usually end up with a couple hundred dollars in my pocket by the end of the night.

Passenger Demand

Passenger demand is usually pretty volatile. It all depends on when you drive and what is going on during the week. If there is a concert or sports event in town, demand spikes before and after. But during the week usually demand is not very high. That is why I tend to drive only on the weekends or the night before a major holiday. This ensures that I am not wasting my time waiting around for requests. I drove the night before Christmas Eve and demand was insane. I was on Prime Time probably 75% of the night, which made for a huge paycheck in the morning. Again, it all just depends on where you live and when you drive. For the most part though, you can make good money no matter what.

Conclusion

In conclusion, I highly recommend driving for Lyft. The app is easy to use and you can drive whenever you want, making Lyft one of the best employers you could ask for. It has been a great experience for me, and a fun way to meet new people and make some extra money.

Additional information to know before signing up

These are common questions people ask before signing up. If you are still on the fence, read my Lyft driver review, which details my experiences driving for Lyft! Still have questions? Leave them in the comments below and I will answer them right away!

What is Lyft?

Lyft is a smartphone app that matches drivers with passengers who request rides. The passengers pay directly through the app, which charges a credit card on file for that passenger. Lyft also provides drivers with additional insurance, including a one million dollar liability insurance policy which applies in addition to the driver’s personal vehicle insurance policy, and is active once a driver is matched with a passenger.

How do drivers get paid?

Drivers are paid an 80% commission on every rider fare, which gets paid out weekly via direct deposit transfer into a bank account. Riders have the option to tip the driver, which many do if they enjoyed the ride and felt safe and comfortable during it. This can add up to $50 a week, which is a nice addition to the already great money that you are making when driving.

What type of passengers will I be picking up?

Most of the Lyft passengers are really fun and nice. They are down to earth individuals who like technology and keep up with common trends. If you drive during the week you will likely pick up business people, working professionals, and people that are having car issues. If you drive on the weekends, you will likely pick up lots of drunk people. And I mean LOTS. Most of the people I have picked up are pretty funny and cool, and are just looking to have a good time. There is occasionally a bad egg, but this is to be expected once in a while. Just get them where you need to go and keep driving.

What are Lyft’s requirements?

Straight from the Lyft website: “You must be at least 21 and own an iPhone or Android phone. As part of our approval process, you’ll undergo a DMV check, plus a national and county background check. This will require a Social Security number, in addition to an in-state driver’s license that is at least a year old. Learn more about our background check standards on our Safety page, and our comprehensive driver requirements in the Help Center.
Your car needs to have four external door handles and at least five total seat belts. You must be a covered party on your car’s in-state insurance, and have in-state license plates. We’ll confirm all of this during your 19-point vehicle inspection. Cars have Lyft age requirements too, which can vary by state. See your state-specific requirements.”

Can I rate passengers?

Absolutely! Lyft does a great job of keeping drivers and passengers accountable through their rating system. At the end of each ride, drivers can rate their passengers anywhere from one to five stars. If you rate them below three stars, you will never be matched with them again. However, if you rate them high, you will most likely run into them again somewhere down the road!

Adding extension info to Android contacts

2014-08-29T11:39:00.001-07:00

Most of us have had to call contacts who have extensions in their numbers. They're annoying to enter and the process can take up time.

Fortunately, if you have an Android smartphone, then you have a way of entering extension information in your contact's details and having your Android automate the dialing process for you.
---
Tutorial Notes

Rather than manually entering a person's extension number, there is a way to automatically have your Android dial the connection once the call connects.

First, go to Contacts. If you want to create a new contact, tap the menu key and then tap New contact. Otherwise, long-press on the contact you want to add extension info for and tap Edit contact.

In the phone numbers section, either select the phone number that you want to add extension information to or add a new number.

Now, press the symbols key in the lower-left of the keypad. You'll notice the buttons Pause and Wait here. Pause inserts a two-second pause while Wait will wait until the call connects.

Insert a Wait after the phone number. Now, press the numbers key and enter the extension that you'd like to dial.

Some phone systems require that you enter a number before entering the extension. For example, if you need to press 1 before entering an extension, then you'll need to add a 1 and then a Pause after your Wait.

Now when you call your contact, you'll be asked whether you want to use the tones that you entered for that contact.

[Guide] 4G Toggle With Tasker

2014-08-23T16:45:00.003-07:00

Ok guys n gals, so I've found out how to do this. Before you continue any further, understand that you must be rooted and running a custom ROM that supports 4G toggling (i.e. AOKP).

Step 1: Download this app from the Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.intangibleobject.securesettings.plu gin&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5p bnRhbmdpYmxlb2JqZWN0LnNlY3VyZXNldHRpbmdzLnBsdWdpbi Jd
Step 2: Open the app, go to Options and scroll down to Custom ROM Actions and ensure that "LTE" is checked
Step 3: Open up Tasker and create a profile entitled 4G On and choose your first context, whether that be battery or whatever else you want to "trigger" 4G to be set as "On."
Step 4: Click New Task at the top of the tasks list and name it 4G On.
Step 5: Click the + button and scroll to Plugins and you will see Secure Settings. Click it.
Step 6: You will see edit configuration; click edit
Step 7: Now you will see a list of the options you have enabled in Secure Settings. We care about 4G, so scroll down to LTE and click it. Then it will ask you what state you want LTE to be in. This is the 4G On profile, so click On. Save and apply the task.
Step 8: Repeat steps 3-7, but now choose the context you want for 4G to be off, name your profile and task 4G Off, and when you get to the configuration settings in Secure Settings, make sure you check Off for the state of LTE. Save and apply the task.

Now you're done! Make sure to click the checkmark on your profiles screen to ensure that your tasks are enabled

How to Lock Down Facebook App Permissions for More Privacy on Your Android Device

2014-08-23T11:44:00.002-07:00

It's a modern day nightmare to accidentally reveal too much information on Facebook. I've inadvertently told the world my location more times than I can laugh off, and my friends haven't fared too well either. Just take a look at the requested app permissions next time you're about to click install and you'll quickly realize how much that app can reveal about you.

With social media privacy concerns a hot topic, especially since Facebook's psychological experiment went public, users need a better way to control app permissions before something very private accidentally spreads online.

Today, I'll show how any Android user—rooted or not—can lock down their Facebook app permissions to keep privacy secure. This tutorial is broken down into two sections: those who are rooted and those who are not, so be sure to know which steps apply to you.

For Non-Rooted Users

We'll be installing an app outside of the Google Play Store, so be sure to enable installation from "Unknown Sources" on your device before continuing.

Step 1: Download the Modded Facebook APK

Tap this link to download a modded .apk of the Facebook app. The mods from XDA member elesbb gives fewer permissions to Facebook, that in turn, keeps your privacy secure.

[1] Standard app (only the first page of permissions). [2] Modified app above. [3] Modified app below.

For an even more stripped-down, minimal version of Facebook, tap here to grab an even further modded Facebook app from the same dev. This one has cross-app communication (logging in with Facebook) removed, which may or may not be desirable. Personally, I like the easy login process using my Facebook account, so this version's not for me.

Step 2: Uninstall the Current Facebook App

If you currently have the standard Facebook app installed on your device, go ahead and uninstall it before moving on.

Step 3: Install & Use the Modded Facebook APK

This part's easy. Pull down on your notification panel and tap on the completed download notification to install whichever one you downloaded in Step 1 above. If you happened to clear your notifications, you'll find these files in your Downloads folder (accessible through any file browser or theDownloads app).

Once installed, open the app, sign in, and use like you normally would.

For Rooted Users

We've covered Xposed countless times here, and it's a favorite on our phones and tablets. Those who are unfamiliar with the modding tool should check out our guide to installing the Xposed Framework on your Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Although it's over in our Galaxy S5 section, it works for all Android devices.

Step 1: Install AppOpsXposed Module

AppsOps was once a standard feature that allowed control of permissions on a per-app basis, but was removed in Jelly Bean. Since I'm running 4.4.2 KitKat on my Note 3, I'll need to bring back AppOps so the permissions manager can be used, and developer caspase has the module to do just that—AppOpsXposed.

Just search for and download the app in Xposed, or get it directly from here. To activate it, make sure to reboot your device.

Step 2: Using AppOpsXposed

Launch into AppOps with the AppOpsXposed icon, or through your Settingsapp, then find and tap Facebook to see its permissions. Now just switch off whichever permissions you're uncomfortable with.

Some permissions are essential to getting your News Feed to load, so don't turn everything off. But things like reading call logs, texts, calendar, and contacts are all safe to disable. If you find that something in the app breaks, just turn back on the permissions from Settings.

vGet for Android

2014-03-08T08:59:00.003-08:00

vGet detects videos embedded in websites and allows to download them, stream them with any installed Player, or play them via DLNA/UPnP or Chromecast directly on a Smart TV.

See below for pricing options.
Now also available for Chrome: http://goo.gl/ETMNa3

Play Videos directly on your Smart TV

vGet supports DLNA/UPnP to play (cast) videos directly on a DLNA-Device in your local network. Many devices out there support DLNA, for example Smart TVs, XBox, MediaCenters, AllShare Devices etc. As opposed to many other DLNA-tools, vGet does not relay the video stream over your mobile device but streams directly from the internet. This saves battery life - the video even keeps playing when you switch off your Android device completely. So vGet offers Chromecast-like functionality without requiring additional hardware.
It also supports Chromecast.

Download Videos

Download any video for later offline viewing. vGet includes an integrated download manager that supports multiple concurrent connections to speed up downloads. It automatically increases the number of connections as long as this improves the download speed, if supported by the server.

Stream Videos

Play embedded videos with the player of your choice. Choose any installed Video-Player (e.g. MXPlayer, VLC, etc.) to stream them directly without downloading. This even works for flash videos.

Supported Videos

vGet works as a simple web-browser and is therefore able to detect HTML5-Videos on any site. It can even detect some flash-videos, without requiring flash player to be installed. Note that support for flash videos is limited, so don't expect it to work on every site. But it has been reported to work quite some sites, including putlocker, sockshare, movshare, novamov, filenuke, played, nowvideo, clicktovie, nosvideo, videozed, faststream, nowvideo, potlocker, putme, bitshare, streamcloud, movreel, vidstream.in, xvidstage, billionuploads, primeshare, ginbig, ...

Pricing

This is a trial version that is limited to a 14 day trial period. The trial can be unlocked inside the App (in-app billing) for ~3.30 € plus VAT, if applicable. You'll see the exact price in your local currency before you buy it. Buying it removes Ads and allows to use it for a unlimited time on all your devices that use the same Google-Play account for installation.
Alternatively it can be used for free by recommending it to others using the integrated referral feature. Each successful referral earns you one additional month of free usage. There is no limit to this rule. So you can use it free indefinitely by referring enough users.

Why don't you offer vGet completely for free without requiring referrals?

Developing and maintaining an App costs money. For some very popular Apps, Ads can cover these costs. Unfortunately that doesn't work for vGet. We think that the 14 day trial period should allow you to figure out if actually want to use it. Charging for vGet is the only way to keep working.
But it's way too expensive: Well, you often don't even get a pint of beer for that amount. Also be aware that we've to spent at least 2/3 of the price on transaction fees and taxes.

Limitations
- Youtube is not supported due to terms of service restrictions.
- No support for any streaming formats (HLS, rtsp)
- Flash videos are not detected on all websites

Reasons for App-Permissions:
- Full network access: required for downloads and DLNA.
- WLAN-Multicast: required for DLNA to detect local devices.
- USB-Storage: required for saving downloads.
- Start at boot: to resume downloads automatically after rebooting.
- Prevent sleep mode: required while downloading to keep active downloads running.
- Accounts (use accounts on the device/find accounts): Used as authentication for the optional referral feature.

If you experience any problems or have suggestions for improvements, please report them on http://vget.w69b.com/bugs.

Samsung Milk Music Streaming Service Overview

2014-03-08T07:58:00.000-08:00

Samsung's Milk Music Internet radio app is a free download in the Play Store. This will allow you to stream music with no ads. That's right. So what's the catch? Milk Music is only available for Galaxy devices. I'm sure Samsung released Milk Music intentionally alongside it's Galaxy S5 announcement to grab a hold of the streaming market. Who knows if they will be successful, but ad-free music is a hard thing to pass up.

[ROM][D2VZW][TW 4.3]VRUCML1_Stock_Root_Deodex (12.31.13)

2014-01-03T08:09:00.000-08:00

THIS IS ONLY FOR USERS ON MF1 OR EARLIER BOOTLOADER WITH CUSTOM RECOVERY (cwm or twrp)

THIS WILL NOT AFFECT BOOTLOADER OR MODEM AS THEY ARE NOT INCLUDED.

GENERAL DISCLAIMER : YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT YOU DO TO YOUR PHONE!

This is a stock, rooted TW 4.3 rom based off of the recent ML1 update. It does not contain a bootloader or modem. KNOX has been NIXED too. ThePagel was able to grab the .tar which made this possible. Go throw a huge thanks his way. Also send some thanks to decimalman for allowing me to use his kernel. As a few others have figured out, the stock kernel doesn't play well with the earlier .TZ firmware causing wifi to be borked. You can check out decimalman's work here. Remember to thank him while your there.

More about the firmware now. DON'T JACK WITH IT!!!!! I know in the past it was common practice to flash the newest firmware along with whatever rom base you were upgrading to but as Invisiblek "discretely" informed us here, that is no longer the case. You will brick your phone if you try! While your reading invisiblek's thread, go ahead and grab the new modem. You'll be glad you did.

Ok, back to the rom. I was doing this blindly as my S3 is on vacation with my son at the moment so I owe a huge thanks to jlyle and prdog1 for testing it out for me. Give them credit for the kernel find that fixed wifi.

Decimalman goes out of his way to support Trickster MOD which is available in the Play Store but states most other tuning apps work well.

Features:

decimalman's TW4.3 dkp kernel
Pre-Rooted
Deodexed
Zipaligned
Busybox
init.d support

To Install:

Must be on MF1 or earlier bootloader
Place .zip on ext. sdcard
Wipe data, cache and dalvik cache (if you don't wipe, don't bring up any strange rom behavior or quirkiness here)
Install rom
Upon reboot, you will be asked if you want to fix recovery, always answer "NO".
When booting for the first time, it may take up to 5 minutes. DON'T PANIC!

How To Update Galaxy S3 to Android 4.4 KitKat (CynogenMod 11)[CM11]{I9300}

2013-12-05T13:59:00.000-08:00

Android 4.4 is here for the Galaxy S3 in the Form of CynogenMod.
Here is this video i will show you guys how to update to Android 4.4
It's a Stable Version so go for it and don't forget to hit that like button.

ROM:

Gapps (4.4):

KitKat look any different from the last version

Android cleaner and simpler than ever before. Google has dressed up the Android interface, with visual tweaks like finer support for full-screen mode and more flawlessness effects.

On the leaked pictures of Android 4.4 KitKat, they were pushing the transparent navigation and status bars and white icons, so we should not be surprised to see them in the final version on the Nexus 5.

The horizontal line separating the home screen the dock is gone in its place, you now have a multi-dot display showing which panel you're currently viewing, similar to what many OEMs had already employed in their own Android-based UIs.

One thing that Google really concentrated on in Android 4.4 was performance. One thing they really pushed was the ability for Android 4.4 to work efficiently on low-end devices; ones with as little as 512MB of RAM!

(source : Techcrunch.com)

There's a new launcher, It's not nearly as glaring a change as iOS 7 was, and commonly speaking KitKat still airs a lot similar Jelly Bean, but the design directions feel very similar.

Google just released the latest version of the Hangouts App that integrates SMS and MMS.

Voice activation really an internal part

Not Fully. KitKat does introduce a new voice command -- "Okay, Google" -- that swiftly takes you to Android Voice Search. But the command doesn't wake the phone on demand, as it does with the Moto X; it works on passive way.

Dialer get smarter.

Google's essentially built the Yellow Pages into its dialer app. When someone calls you and they are not one of your contacts, the phone will automatically check for the number against local listings using Google Maps and will let you know if it is a local business.

Photography smarter.

A new feature called HDR+ will take a flurry of photos, then use high-dynamic range technology to combine them, allowing for better images in tricky lighting situations and less motion blur.

Wireless printing

Android 4.4 KitKat will bring wireless printing support to Android users. As we have already seen in leaked images, users will have the opportunity to print documents and pictures directly from their handsets, and customize the print jobs from the phone and/or tablet.

HP ePRINT

Wi-Fi TDLS Support

TDLS, for those that don't know, stands for Tunneled DIrect Link Setup.

One more KitKat feature , it's Wi-Fi TDLS., Wi-Fi TDLS, as Google describes it, is

"a seamless way to stream media and other data faster between devices already on the same Wi-Fi network."

According to the Wi-Fi Alliance:

“Two TDLS devices automatically use their highest common performance and security features, regardless of the feature level supported by the network. TVs, smartphones, cameras, printers, PCs, projectors, and gaming devices, for example, can connect directly to each other to transfer content and share applications quickly and easily.”

Google Wallet

Kit Kat brings support for Host Card Emulation (HCE), which means any Android NFC device could be used for mobile payments without needing access to a secure element. With HCE any app can emulate an ISO/IEC 7816 smart card that use the contactless ISO/IEC 14443-4 (ISO-DEP) protocol for transmission.

Emoji everywhere

Until now, using emoji in parts of Android besides Hangouts could be a little tricky. Thankfully, Google has spread "Emoji everywhere" with Android 4.4 KitKat, integrating the set of awesome emoji with Google Keyboard for easier access. Users can now spice up their text messages, emails, and other announcements with fun Japanese-inspired characters and mood icons.

Step Detector and Step Counter

Google really worked on this new operating system to make it lean and fast. They also included many new features that will allow app developers use these new features as easy as possible.

The Step Detector examines accelerometer input to identify if the user takes a step and triggers a follow up event for each subsequent step the user takes.

The Step Counter will track the total numeral of steps taken until you restart the device; then it will start over keeping count.

Audio Tunneling to Save More Battery

In KitKat, Google has introduced audio tunneling into DSP. Instead of using the application processor to decode audio or respond to audio output requests, this responsibility is offloaded to the onboard DSP. The DSP is now much more efficient at such tasks than the CPU, and now Google is estimating that the amount of power used playing back audio on your phone could decrease by about 50%.

(Source:appeared first on AndroidHeadlines.com)

when will KitKit actually come to my phone?

Google has said on their announcement post that “KitKat will soon be available on the Nexus 4, 7, 10, the Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One Google Play Editions.”

In an interview with Engadget, HTC's Jason Mackenzie revealed that they aren't beating around the bush with Android 4.4 KitKat. The goal is to first push the update to the HTC One Google Play Edition within the next 15 days. After that, the unlocked and developer editions of the HTC One should see an update within 30 days. As for U.S. Carrier variants of the One? While delays can obviously happen, the goal is to push out the update to all carriers within 90 days or less.(Source :appeared first on androidauthority.com)

Ubuntu for Phones vs Android Jelly Bean Comparison

2013-10-26T09:32:00.001-07:00

Ubuntu for Phones is the newest official platform on the market ... sort of. It's only available as a developer preview, and Canonical, the firm that created the platform, has yet to iron out some pretty large kinks. Android is the reigning champ. Ubuntu for Phones and Android Jelly Bean go toe to toe in this David and Goliath comparison video.

Description

** Themer beta requires an activation code! You can sign up to get one at: http://themerapp.com and you will be added to the wait list. We currently support Android 4.1 and above.**

FAQ:

1. Why are you guys so slow to send out codes? We're a really small team, and all the themes get downloaded from our servers. We need to make sure they can handle the demand! We are very very very sorry we can't go faster.

2. What devices do you support? We support most devices with Android 4.1 or above. We do NOT support tablets, the LG Optimus G, Xperia J, Note 1, or Ascend Mate. We may support them in the future.

3. Why can't I see themes on my Galaxy Nexus or Nexus 4? If you don't see any themes it's because you are running a custom ROM or some app that is changing the screen resolution (getting rid of soft keys or increasing the size of the notification bar). The themes are tuned to the device's stock resolution, and you need to restore your device to its original configuration to see themes.

4. I changed ROMs or switched phones and my code won't work! Please send us a support ticket on http://support.themerapp.com. We will respond very quickly if we are awake.

Themer is more than an app. It will transform your homescreen to something that is beautiful, functional, and designed to fit the way you use your phone. Just choose one of our many free themes from the in-app browser and press apply. We have sports, sci-fi, nature, minimalism, movies, music, and games. Dozens of themes to choose from and more added daily. Based on the Android theming website, MyColorScreen.com, Themer does all the hard work for you, setting up wallpaper, widgets, and icons in one click.

Features:
- The app is free and themes are free.
- Easily go back to your old homescreen setup (though we doubt you'll want to!).
- All themes are customizable, or you can use them as-is.
- New "Favorites" tab in the app drawer lets you quickly access your most-used apps.
- Themer Actions technology learns your app preferences. It doesn't matter if you're using Pandora or Spotify for music, WeatherBug or AccuWeather for weather, or TweetCaster or HootSuite for Twitter. Themer will get it right.

Basic Instructions:
- After install, you must enter your code after which Themer will apply a "welcome" theme to your device that explains how to find themes.
- Once you've applied your first theme, long press the homescreen and choose "Browse Themes" (or click the Themer icon in the app drawer) to return to the Themer menu.
- To make Themer your default homescreen, go to the Themer menu and choose "Set Home." Click "Themer" and "Always."
- To get back to your old homescreen, go to the Themer menu, choose "Settings," "Themer," and "Restore Old Homescreen."
- After applying a theme, swipe down anywhere on your screen to see your notification bar. Swipe up to hide it.

Please check out our video tutorial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqfkumDYD2E) and blog (http://www.themerapp.com/blog) for more info.

Please note that Themer supports most but not all devices running Android 4.1+. We are working hard to bring it to more devices and older versions of Android. If you are using a custom ROM that affects DPI or alters screen dimensions (such as the removal of soft keys), you will not be able to see any themes. Please restore to original configuration for Themer to function properly.

Below is a list of screen resolutions that we support:

1920x1080
1776x1080
1280x720
1184x768
1184x720
960x540
888x540
800x480

How to take a screenshot on the Samsung Galaxy S3

How to take a screen shot on the Samsung Galaxy S III

HOW TO

By Gary Mazo | Jul 06 2012 | 6:16 pm

Capturing the screen is a great way to save something for posterity and show it off to your friends.

You just got your brand new Galaxy S III and you want to capture some of the cool stuff you can do with a screen shot, but it doesn’t work the same way as other Android phones, does it?

If you came to the Galaxy S III from a prior Android phone, you are most likely familiar with the “Android way” of capturing a screen; you hold down the Power button and the Volume down button simultaneously and the screenshot is captured and saved.

Saving a screenshot on the Galaxy S III: Method #1

There are two ways to capture a screenshot on the Galaxy S III; neither of them are the same as previous Android devices. For method #1, think iPhone – that is the button combination that will work on the Galaxy S III.

Find the screen that you want to capture
Press and holdboth the Power button and the Home button together
Screenshot will be captured and saved to the Gallery app

Saving a screenshot on the Galaxy S III method #2

Samsung has built a bunch of innovative “motions” into the Galaxy S III – we will cover them all in time here on Android Central

One of the innovative motions is the ability to use your palm to swipe over the screen to capture a screen shot. This just needs to be enabled in your Settings app.

NOTE: This might already be enable on your Galaxy S III, if not, follow the steps below:

Pull down the Notifications tray and touch the Settings icon or simply go to the Settings app on the Home screen
Scroll down to the Motion tab and tap it
Make sure there is a check mark in the top Motion activation box
Scroll down to Hand motions
Make sure there is a check mark in the Palm swipe to capture box

That’s all there is to it. From any screen, use the side of your palm and just swipe across the screen. It doesn’t matter if you go from right to left or left to right – either way will work just fine.

Go to your Gallery app and look in the Screenshots album and you will find the screenshots you just captured.

From there, you can email them, post them to Facebook, send via messaging, upload to Dropbox – whatever works best for you.

**Addendum (anticipatory computing):

In the morning I have a card showing the time to get to work factoring in the traffic. At quitting time, I have another card for the trip home. It lets me know if I should leave earlier or try to find another route.
When my plane lands, I am greeted with the currency exchange rate, nearby photo spots, places of interest, helpful phrases.
If I search for a restaurant on the browser on my laptop or desktop, a card will show up on the phone to let me navigate there with one tap. No need to search for it again.
It would send a text to the wife that I was on my way home when I left the geofenced area I set around the office.
When connected to the home network, it would disable the device lock. This was before I got Pebble Watch.
When connected to the Pebble watch, I never have to unlock my phone. If I get separated from my phone, it will lock itself.
If the phone gets lost or stolen, I can control my phone from any browser and do things like take pictures of the thief. It will also take pictures when someone tries to unlock the phone and quietly send them to my email account.
From the calendar it knows when I’m in a meeting and automatically mutes the phone for me.
It knows when I’m at home, and if I plug it in the charger past a certain time, it will mute all notification sounds because I’m going to sleep.
It watches for swipe gestures so I can launch any app (or perform phone functions) while I’m in any other app.
When I plug in a headset, it gives me a selection of my favorite media apps. If I’m using my bluetooth headset, then it launches my preferred listening app when I hit the play button on the headset.
Ever run into a video saying that it is not available in your country? I can fire up a VPN proxy on the phone and bypass that restriction.
The phone can also listen for your voice and it can launch other apps.
