Find My iPhone/iPod
Ever misplaced your iPod or iPhone and couldn't figure out where it was? Well you wont have to worry about that anymore, not with the app developed by Apple themselves called "Find my iPhone."
Find My iPhone is free for anyone with an iPhone 4, iPad, or 4th generation iPod touch (iOS 4.2 or later required).* Just sign in with your Apple ID on your qualifying device and turn on Find My iPhone to allow you to locate it. Then use the same Apple ID to turn on Find My iPhone on your other iOS 4.2 (or later) devices including iPhone 3G, 3GS, or iPod touch (2nd generation or later). Find My iPhone is also included with a MobileMe subscription.
They say you need another device on iOS 4.2 (or later) to locate your device but all you really need is an internet connection and a browser to log on to their website and locate your phone. I have a little sister who constantly puts the iPod in random places, like in between the couch or in her play area - but with this app, we no longer need to worry as we would be able to locate it anytime, anywhere - as long as there is a WiFi connection. For those of you who have an iPhone or iPad, you might already be on a data plan so that shouldn't be a problem.
If you would like to download this app, links are available at the bottom.
After you have installed the application on your phone, you can follow the steps below to get it up and running:
Step One:
Download and install the application on to your iOS 4.2 (or later) device.
Step Two:
Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar
Step Three:
Click Add Account
Step Four:
Click on MobileMe
Enter your Apple ID and Password
Step Five:
Verify your account.
If your MobileMe account says “Not Verified,” check your email inbox for a message from Apple. Click Verify Now and sign in with your Apple ID.
If you don’t see a verification email in your inbox, select your MobileMe account and tap Resend Verification Email.
Step Six:
Go to the MobileMe option and switch on Find My Phone
When the pop-up message appears, click on Allow
Now your Find My Phone application should be up and running. If you would like to test it to ensure that everything is working accordingly, you can do one of the following:
Must get App – Viber!
Well, I never thought I'd see the day when I would find an application that could beat WhatsApp, but here I am.
Introducing Viber.
Viber App
Viber is an application for iPhone® and Android™ phones that lets you make free phone calls and send text messages to anyone who also has the application installed.
So far I've been using the app to communicate with friends down in Malaysia and New Zealand and the quality is amazing. Not only can you make calls, but you can send SMS messages to them for free too.
With that said, I have yet to uninstall my WhatsApp messenger. Why? Simply because WhatsApp still provides a little more features in the free SMS/MMS section. Unlike WhatsApp, Viber's messenger service does not allow you to attach files to the messages, though I'm sure that will be added in no time.
Another thing is that Viber is not available on BlackBerry and Nokia yet, but is currently under development. It looks like they will be providing a version for not only BlackBerry, Symbian and Windows phones; but also a desktop version which is great.
I do hope that they consider integrating video calling as that is one item that most users on phones like HTC Thunderbolt are frequently crying out for, as Skype Video calling is not available on that yet.
If you would like to download the application, click on one of the following links:
Monitor Data Usage on Smart Phones
Want to keep track of your phones usage? Well look no further! I have found a couple of applications that will go a long way and save you a lot of money in the future by letting you keep track on your phones usage.
First up, we have Stats for Android phones. With Stats you keep track of various usage informations about your Android phone, separated into calls, text messages and data (Network and Wifi). As soon as you download and install this application, it instantly begins collecting data from the first moment you open the application. The main screen displays the following items including the date that it started monitoring:
Calls:
- Incoming minutes
- Outgoing minutes
Text Messages:
- Incoming messages
- Outgoing messages
Data:
- 2G/3G/4G Network Data
- Wi-FI Data
By clicking on any of the above options in the home menu, you are directed to another screen which gives you the option to: Set Limit, Reset Counters and Set automatic reset.
In the preferences section, you are given the choice to change the following options:
- Update Interval (A lower value means higher accuracy)
- Usage Thresholds (Sets the notification level of Medium, High and Critical usage)
- Call Rounding Policy
- Import/Export stats from or to your SD-Card
This application will definitely come in handy for those of you who are not on an unlimited data plan and would like to be in control of your usage. This app is free right now with ads, however if you make a donation, the ads will be removed.
Download links to the app are located at the end of this post.
Next up we have My Data Usage Pro for the Apple users among us.
This app supports iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. This app enables you to count every last byte you download and hence fend off that scheming telecom provider who is waiting so that you exceed your monthly data limit and he can bilk your hard earned money as outrageously overpriced penalties.
If you don't use the data limit to the fullest for fear of exceeding the limit and hence waste the money you pay anyways, this app does the work of counting every byte for you, making it super simple for you to know exactly when you might exceed the limit and hence saving that precious money of yours, month after month, every month.
This app includes with Data Doctor with Smart Analysis and Early Warning System Features. Like the Android app as well; it separates your Network and Wifi connections data usage.
This app costs $0.99 in the iTunes store. Download links at the end of the post.
WhatsApp Messenger – Free SMS Service!
With more and more users using the new smartphone ranges available, it is only a matter of time before SMS becomes a thing of the past and gives way to the internet based messaging systems. One of the best applications I have used so far would be WhatsApp messenger.
This application uses your data connection on your smartphone to send messages between you and other users who have the same app on their phones. What is so great about this app you may ask? Well, unlike BlackBerry messenger and Ping for iPhones; WhatsApp works on all mainstream smartphone types such as Nokia, Android, iPhone and BlackBerry. So you can send messages, audio and video's to your friends around the world on any of the other phones for FREE!
But something this good has to have a drawback, so what's the catch? Well,
JailBreakMe 3.0 for iPad 2, iPhone & iPod Touch on iOS 4.3.3
If you've always wanted to jailbreak your iPad2/iPhone/iPod Touch but couldn't be bothered dealing with the process of it, then you should try out the new JailBreakMe 3.0.
JailbreakMe is the easiest way to free your device. Experience iOS as it could be, fully customizable, themeable, and with every tweak you could possibly imagine.
Safe and completely reversible (just restore in iTunes), jailbreaking gives you control over the device you own. It only takes a minute or two, and as always, it's completely free.
Please make an iTunes backup before jailbreaking.
All you would need to do is go to the following website via your iPad2/iPhone/iPod Touch and follow the instructions there. The installation basically takes advantage of a PDF exploit in Safari, then executes the commands and jailbreaks your phone for you. Hassle free!
To jail break your phone, click on the following link via Safari:
