I have seen alot of iphone commercials on tv and the "there's an app for that" commercials bother me because I know that there are android programs that can do exactly the same thing. So I thought it was time for a thread where we list the iphone app and the android app that serves the same purpose. Ready? Let's Go

Iphone Android

SnowReports -Snow Report (http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.reddroid.snowreport)

Posimotion -CarDar (http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.clinkybot.parkmark2)

RocketTaxi -cab4me (http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.cab4me.android)

Tipulator - tipper (http://www.cyrket.com/package/ru.adroid.tipper)

MultiLevel - bubble (http://www.cyrket.com/package/bz.ktk.bubble)

Yelp -Where (yelp is on this app) (http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.ulocate)

Shazam -Shazam (http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.shazam.android)

Loopt -Loopt (http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.loopt)

UrbanSpoon -Where (guess where feature) (http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.ulocate)

That's what I could come up with from the Commercials I just watched on Youtube. If you know of other ones or want to venture into the app store on itunes please continue the comparison.

and just for fun....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZyYjQHcXEU&NR=1
[G1 Apps and Games] delta_foxtrot2:
It's a shame there isn't any real advertising standards, or they aren't upheld in the US, there is so many lies I've more or less given up being annoyed about it any more.

Apple has already had advertising yanked off UK TV because the govt body said that it wasn't truthful.
[G1 Apps and Games] wm1:
What? You mean that I have the real, not watered down, not mobile internet...but no flash? I am always a little happy when the UK takes Apple to task for false advertising. It makes me feel warm and happy...lol
[G1 Apps and Games] sonikamd:
How about instead of "...there's an app for that" we put together "there's not an app for that, unless you have android..."

For instance:

Metal Detector

Overclock Widget

Home screen replacements

Iphone users feel free to chime in with "but I can use -appname- to do that"
[G1 Apps and Games] lamaravish:
i'm waiting for Trapster, so i can finally say...There's an app for that :) haha
[G1 Apps and Games] delta_foxtrot2:
I can block ads on my phone with AdFree, I can run apps in the background, the app I'm running doesn't get killed because of an incoming phone call.
[G1 Apps and Games] f4phantomii:
As one of my co-workers who abandoned an iPhone and got a G1 after he saw mine......

"Yeah, there's an app for that.....only it doesn't cost anything on Android."
[G1 Apps and Games] jmon777:
rofl yeah the only place the i phone as us beats is the games. but emulators are changing that i my opinion.
[G1 Apps and Games] AGx-07_162:
Iphone interface?

Theres an app for that.
[G1 Apps and Games] blackknightavalon:
I showed Nesroid to an iPhone user of a coworker a couple weeks ago and he said "that emulator runs better than mine."
[G1 Apps and Games] imbonez9:
You forgot... "We have a keyboard for that to ;)"
[G1 Apps and Games] delta_foxtrot2:
Not all android devices are going to have physical keyboards...
[G1 Apps and Games] ma3a20:
Now they have this crap at the WWDC:

"Snow Leopard

The World's Most Advanced Operating System"

Bull****
[G1 Apps and Games] delta_foxtrot2:
Considering the actual OS is built on top of BSD, does that mean BSD is the worlds most advanced operating system?
[G1 Apps and Games] delta_foxtrot2:
Actually does anyone know if there is an app that can hook into a desktop PC/laptop and you can use the keyboard on it to type into the GUI on android?
[G1 Apps and Games] ma3a20:
Exactly. It just annoys me so much that they are actually allowed to say that. I will never get locked into Apple's business model like that. When people told me they had to 'learn' Facebook's layout I laughed.

I actually ripped the hardware keyboard from my dad's old Ericsson PDA. I'm working on getting that compatible with Android.

Both OSs have a gameboy emulator :)
[G1 Apps and Games] imbonez9:
ahhh cr@p your right about that, well for the time being in the US we could run that... haha
[G1 Apps and Games] mmafighter077:

[G1 Apps and Games] mak213:
i lie to u not i have 5 friends who just switched this past 2 weeks from iphone 3gs 16gb! to g1s....they seen mine and were like im getting it and completly enjoy there phones bad part is there pc iliterate so ihad to root there phones google ion get apps for them etc..pain lol
[G1 Apps and Games] imbonez9:
Not an app but under the same idea...

"Battery dead, ya we have an extended battery for that"

"Ran out of memory, ya we have a mirco sd for that"

"Need flash, no need for an app we got that"

"Need root, have XDA for that"
[G1 Apps and Games] LvDisturbed1:
Well...we still need flash. Come to think of it...where is our flash support? I haven't seen any new info on it. Anyone else know if its still being developed?!?
[G1 Apps and Games] delta_foxtrot2:
Flash is one of the most horridly bloated, resource intensive PoS... Why infect our lovely Android devices with it, isn't it bad enough that it crashes the browsers on our desktop/laptops?
[G1 Apps and Games] CBowley:
Stop using windows? Mine doesn't crash ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] CBowley:
Hero has it ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] bittermormon:
browser

A Browser that isn't terribly laggy and can handle multi-touch correctly?

There's no app for that
[G1 Apps and Games] imbonez9:
can't opera do that? And maybe its just me but that screen is to small IMO for multi touch.

-When is the Android OS for computers coming out anyone have any idea? I need my Android... god im sad... DAM YOU GOOGLE!!!
[G1 Apps and Games] CBowley:
Lots of Netbooks comming ot soon, and Canonical is working on running android through Ubuntu. :) Patiently waiting on number 2
[G1 Apps and Games] delta_foxtrot2:
I'm using the 32 and 64bit linux versions...
[G1 Apps and Games] delta_foxtrot2:
There is if you install the JF version, or used to, I don't bother with multitouch cause it seems pointless and annoying, I just want a semi-transparent slider along one edge.
[G1 Apps and Games] nolageek:
What? Your power went out and you need to see in the dark? There's 73 apps for that.
[G1 Apps and Games] delta_foxtrot2:
They're working on running Android "apps" through Ubuntu, not the OS itself...
[G1 Apps and Games] shaneaus:
Could care less about multi-touch. I had it on my Android (Browser was very snappy on my phone as well) but, NEVER used it and didn't care for it.

I'll just be HAPPY when ATT comes out with a DECENT Android device. I hate hearing how great 3G is and can't use it because my G1 was made for T-mobile.
[G1 Apps and Games] delta_foxtrot2:
I didn't find data connectivity in the US to be all that great in general, GPRS is faster in Australia then EDGE in the US, unless you want data at 4am. Although I wouldn't mind a 850Mhz (telstra)/900Mhz (optus/voda) 3G device so it could be used in more places then just metro areas of Australia.
[G1 Apps and Games] tubaking182:
i thought i was the only person that hated those commercials. and i hate that they all end with "only on the iphone." i have a friend that likes to download apps and show them off to me and i just laugh at the fact that he thinks the apps he has are original and no one else but iphone users have them. then i pull stuff out like the metal detector and we start an apps war(but he desn't have unlimited space like i do hahahahaha).
[G1 Apps and Games] wm1:
I worked at a cell phone kiosk in Sam's Club when they got their demo G1 unit and I would come in to the store after seeing those commercials and install the equivalent app on the g1...that way it did the same as the iphone and then some...(Video, mms, etc)
[G1 Apps and Games] smuvman:
rofllmao

best one yet!
[G1 Apps and Games] imbonez9:
While we on this about comercials i can't stand the Crapple vs Micro one's. I dunno i just want to kill them both! Can't wait to see what Crapple does when the Android OS comes out.

Hey we have 10,000 fart sounds and you only have 2!
[G1 Apps and Games] xidominicanoix:
AutoTune?

AutoTune app coming to iPhone ....

Don't know about you, but I would love to have this lol :D
[G1 Apps and Games] RaiderX303:
another one for android

dont like your home screen? install a different one
[G1 Apps and Games] marshallladd:
I have yet to figure out why muti-touch is so big. What is so useful about it? I could care less. So how bout this one.

Want to hack your phone and not have the wrath of an oppresive corporation coming after you? There's a phone for that. Only on the G1, from HTC.
[G1 Apps and Games] delta_foxtrot2:
You tell me and we'll both know, I just want sliders that appear when you touch the screen so you can actually zoom in and out without being a contortionist, similar to the slider in the contact list would be perfect, needing to hit the +/- buttons repeatedly sucks.

If only it did 900Mhz 3G it'd be perfect, it seems the samsung bigfoot will have a keypad + do 900Mhz, but it's not out till next quarter :(
[G1 Apps and Games] Luca_Dream:
almost fell out of my chair laughing

Lol alright I was on my ipod touch looking for a lyric search app and I found one exactly like the one on my g1 and was gonna download but I decided to read the comments first. Lol posted by The Man, The Legend "this is the reason the iphone is the best phone out there!!! No other phone has apps like this" lmao
[G1 Apps and Games] delta_foxtrot2:
He's been drinking the cool aid for a little bit too long... Go on, shatter his illusions about the jesus phone ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] anddep:
YES!! T-pain auto-tune app, video here.. i remember when i first got my g1 they had an app where u blow ur phone to make noise like whistle.. so i know this could be done.
[G1 Apps and Games] mak213:
EPIC IMPORTANT UPDATE 3.0 out? need to backup ur stuff so u can install? no computer with ****Tunes around that sucks...my g1 syncs to google AUTOMATICLY :)
[G1 Apps and Games] imbonez9:
Can someone please answer me why the h€ll there so many dam fart apps? Seriously why do we need them at all? Cr@pple wants to claim so many apps its because of the dam fart sounds/ringtones.
[G1 Apps and Games] delta_foxtrot2:
The only time I found a fart app to be funny was in this video

http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1899978
[G1 Apps and Games] benmyers2941:
I try to stay clear of anything that invloves me blowing my phone. Don't get me wrong I really like my phone, just not that much.
[G1 Apps and Games] sonikamd:
haha, the "Blow *into* your phone" app was/is called the Magic Flute... yes that's the actual name, I'm not insinuating anything else here..

Want to type commands directly into your phone's Linux shell, we've got apps for that :)
[G1 Apps and Games] CBowley:
Wow I want that tpain app so bad
[G1 Apps and Games] andyjeezy:

[G1 Apps and Games] roguestatuskat:
"have you ever wanted a phone that turns you into a douche bag, there is a phoen for that .... iphone 3GS, just keep adding letters and numbers to make it sound even more badass, but its really just the same ****, and plus thousands of costly apps, youll be hobo in no time =]"
[G1 Apps and Games] brummiesteven:
Lol, that was because either the 3G or 3GS advert was boasting about the phone being "really fast" showing web pages and downloads etc instantly loading within a few seconds.

It wasn't pulled off, it just had to be edited to have a "Shorter than real life process... Certain sequences shortened" notice at the bottom.
[G1 Apps and Games] delta_foxtrot2:
It was also yanked because it didn't have flash... So it's not a true internet browser like you get on a desktop PC...
[G1 Apps and Games] ohnoezmahfone:
Yeah, well, there's 92,500 apps, but half of them are tip calculators...

and the other half are flashlights.

Speaking personally, the core functionality of the phone does everything I need it to. The other apps I have are toys like Shazam, Google Sky, Wikitude... neat stuff, no doubt, but definitely toys.
[G1 Apps and Games] delta_foxtrot2:
I thought most apps on the iPhone were fart apps?

Most of what I do is data related, and the app I use the most is wifi tether...
[G1 Apps and Games] lpasq:
...post error...
[G1 Apps and Games] enderx1:
Sorry to dump water on one of these, but there is a metal detector avialable for the iPhone 3Gs. (they have a magnometer)

The one thing I like most about android over the iPhone after it is open source and I can make stuff for it and post it to the market easily, is the notification bar.

iCan't be notified quickly of email, SMS, twitter, or IM without an annoying popup.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cynic64:
Hi All

Recently received my TD2 and am slowly coming to grips with it. Sooo much better than my old i-mate JasJam (Hermes).

I have read through the manual, searched the Topaz forum, looked through the wiki, "googled", and still have a simple question to which I hope someone out there has the answer:

How can you change the time interval between weather updates (in AccuWeather on the weather tab) ??

The TD2 manual (pdf version, page 83) indicates that if "download automatically" is ticked in the Settings for the weather tab, then "weather information is automatically downloaded whenever you select the Weather tab, if the data has not been updated within the last three hours"

I'd like to reduce Vodafone New Zealand's data plan profits a little and change this time interval to 12 hours - but I can't find where the "3 hour" figure is stored in the registry (or whereever).

Can anyone help ?? If I have missed something obvious, please accept my humble apologies, but put me out of my suffering.

Cheers
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harolds:
Why not just set it to manual?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cynic64:
That's what I've done at present, but given that there is the capability to update automatically, I hoped it would be possible to modify the time interval. Every 3 hours seem a little to frequent for most people. Some of the 3rd party packages offer this functionality, so why not this one ?

Hi everybody,

got anyone Bluesoleil-Stack (v2/1.63) on PDA as NAP or GN-Profile on wm2003SE working, as a gateway to the world outside(tethering), like ICS on WM6, that means to provide NAT/DHCP/DNS???

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duds44:
Hi there guys

Long time reader, first time poster... I live in Australia and am with the 3 Network down here. Our frequency is 2100mhz and I work for the company.

We do not have either the G1 or Dream with us but are soon getting the Magic. I purchased a T Mobile G1 (not Dream) from eBay, unlocked with Android 1.0 (not Cupcake). When I put in my 3 SIM card and try to set up my Gmail account, it can't connect to the Google Servers.

Was I incorrect in assuming that the G1 which works on 2100mhz frequency, won't work on Australia's 2100mhz network?

Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated guys. I have done a search but couldn't find a solution to a problem for Australia :(

Thanks in advance
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duds44:
PS. I don't get past the "Signing In" phase right at initial start up. It displays the following error msg:

"There is a problem communicating with the Google Servers. This could be a temporary problem or your SIM card may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call Customer Care."

As I work for 3, I have more data packs than I can throw a stick at. Thanks again guys, please give me your advice!

Default APN's are linked to the number of the carrier in your case 50502 this is set in the global properties. You can view the information by typing "getprop" on the phone.
[G1 Android Development] ravenge:
It seems like the issue may be carrier related then?

Any ideas what files/configurations etc will need to be modified to allow for AU carriers when applying the apns-conf.xml?

cheers,

[G1 Android Development] Shellite:
When I first began the process to root my G1 I backed up my apns-conf.xml with the default Optus/Virgin APN's as I wasnt sure what to expect.

All I do each time I switch builds is overwrite the existing apns-conf.xml, reboot phone, goto Wireless Controls -> Mobile Networks -> Access point names and hit menu, do a 'Reset to default' and my APN's list populates...

Is this what your trying to achieve?

I did find this buggy in 1.1 builds and the list was often blank, though, in 1.5 builds I've never had any problem.

If you want a copy of the original Optus apns-conf.xml let me know.

VirginMobile Broadband Prepaid

Hi guys,

recently, I bought a prepaid SIM card (VirginMobile Broadband) for my G1 to surf the internet with the phone.

However, I am unable to get any data service to work. Here are my default APN settings [1].

Any experience with Mobile Broadband on the G1 in Australia? Any help is highly appreciated.

Best regards and Happy New Year,

hazel

[G1 Android Development] hazel3k3:
hi,

thanks for that hint. unfortunately, these apn settings only work with a "normal" voice sim card with an internet package on it. however, this solution is quite expensive. so i got this mobile broadband thing which normally comes with a 3g usb dongle as a modem. i thought it would be quite easy to get it running with the g1 but it isn't.

anybody knows how to use the g1 as g3 modem (ie replace the modem dongle)?

another option would be to use the pppd daemon on the g1 to connect to the network.

any thoughts about that?

cheers

hazel
