Tawkon Application for Samsung Galaxy S Phones - Vibrant Themes and Apps

Just thought I'd give you guys a heads up about a new application called Tawkon. It's pretty cool. What it does is monitor radiation released by your phone when making calls and alerts you when it's high. It has background monitoring and graphs. It works well and honestly the IU is amazingly polished. The mind the reviews and low stars, because they were given by idiots who can't get it to work for their phone (Droid X, Desire, etc) when it says Galaxy S only.

Finally released?!?!
I remember talk of the release for this app about 6 months ago for Apple but the nazi control iTunes canned the release for them. Great to have it for Android!

So you work there...?
It's fine if you do, but don't act like it's some thing you just happened across....

Quoted from Wikipedia:
The effect mobile phone radiation has on human health is the subject of recent interest and study, as a result of the enormous increase in mobile phone usage throughout the world (as of June 2009, there were more than 4.3 billion users worldwide[1]). Mobile phones use electromagnetic radiation in the microwave range, which some believe may be harmful to human health. A large body of research exists, both epidemiological and experimental, in non-human animals and in humans, that shows overall no evidence for harmful effects.
Don't worry so much.

How could an app even physically measure the radiation? Maybe it just estimates based upon what frequencies you are transmitting and receiving and at what rate?

stupid app, thats why it has a bad rating.

HTC bypasses apple patents and will start in 2012 despite verdict

http://www.slashgear.com/htc-bypasses-apple-patent-ire-for-2012-android-range-27167647/
Whether HTC shares this or not someone should get a patent on the new way found to avoid a run up of this. As much as I like the apple products they are becoming a bully which is just sad.

Considering Apple, Inc. was on the verge of folding just a few short years ago, I'm really surprised by the turn that Apple's made.
/sarcasm
Every company forgets where they were and how far they've come. Take HTC as an example; they just about did it. They went from a company that embraced the developers and then, in a few short years, turned around and locked down their bootloaders.
Without social media outlets such as facebook, I highly doubt they would have reversed their decision to maintain locked bootloaders.
Apple needs the same kind of treatment to be reminded that the mass majority of users out there do not support their products (Android phones are outselling the iPhone, Android tablets have eaten into almost a third of the iPad market, and Macs still don't have nearly the same level of market penetration into the desktop/laptop sectors).

Uhh, yeah. Good luck with that. While I agree whole heartedly apple fans are nowhere near as brand agnostic as, well, anyone else. Drank the koolaide, etc etc etc.
In a recent poll of 4000 consumers 35% said they wanted an iphone 5, even knowing nothing about it.

"the stylus is antiquated to begin with, and doesn't even work well—but the prime offense? It's just too f*cking big. Unless you have abnormally large hands, you can't hold and use it like a phone."
that's funny, 5 million people would disagree with those statements.

Poor guy. Can't believe I actually read the whole article. Haha
The Note fits in my hand and pockets just fine.

This guy is a troll and all his articles referencing the Note are trolljobs. The Note fits in my pockets just fine, and I've never had an issue with it being too big to hold(i'm sure his gf would say something similar about him).
troll articles are what the editors want though... think about it.. it invokes an emotion from you, whether good or bad, it still gets you to read the article, click on links, look at ads, etc.
it's why there's always that a-hole on morning talk shows that you hate SOOO MUCH but you can't stop listening to the show
If it had an Apple logo on the back it would be praised by Gizmodo as revolutionary and amazing. iGiz generally has pro-Apple bias in most of what it writes (I've noticed this with the TechBlock as well, especially if you've ever listened to their podcast). I expect these kinds of "articles" from iGiz, so I'm not so shocked.

This is the absolute truth. If Steve Jobs had waved this phone around, everyone would be worshiping him for creating a middle ground device between phone and tablet.
Thirding that jobs comment. They love their Iphones ... simple as that. If apple came out with it , it would be god to gizmodo. Same thing if they came out with a 7" ipad... they would say it is about time companies did it and more should follow...

Seems like Gizmodo is still trying to win Steve Jobs' forgiveness even after his death.
Seriously, I'm sick of his stupid articles, even in something totally unrelated he posted about the note, I guess they want to generate traffic out of hate? I have removed gizmodo from my RSS, about time.
Gizmodo has gone down in quality big time in the least couple of years. This article was the last straw for me, I deleted them from my RSS feed.
I posted this on my Facebook wall (hey, I just don't post the good stuff, I can post "bad" as well) LOL!
Wow, I hardly ever take anything posted on Gizmodo seriously, this is one of them, but I DID find it entertaining at the very least.
Even if I don't totally agree. Just because 5+million people (world wide) bought this phone, does not mean that it will be the defact-o standard at all! Samsung went into this area KNOWING it was going to be a Niche Market at best. They got lucky and that Niche was pretty big.
Other manufacturers are jumping on this bandwagon to make their own "Phablets", but the demand (on a global scale) is so small in comparison to the mainstream handsets that they will not suddenly abandon the "normal" sized handsets and just go huge.
Oh well... This guys always been a tool on here with his articles, taking things out of context to twist to his own agenda, it's just now comical anytime he writes something.

Seems excessive and gimmicky. It's like having a cell phone for my cell phone. Why mount this watch on my bicycle when I can just mount my cell phone on my bicycle? Waste of money in my eyes.
Already a backer
I'm already a backer, can't wait to get one.
I won't lie, it's a niche accessory and a little pricey.
But i think we might find some really novel uses for this.
and if they become popular prices could drop for similar
watches in the future.
I really have no use for one even though I'm a huge gadget freak. I'll admit it would be cool to have but it'll probably be one of those things where the novelty runs out quickly and after like a month or two you'll be like why did I buy this? I can't even imagine trying to type on that thing.
Honestly, I think I would take the MotoActv over the Pebble. MotoActv runs a full Android OS, and has better integration with Android phones and more features overall than the Pebble watch does.
It'd be nice if it also integrated with wireless heart rate monitors (common for runners). My fiance has the monitor and it comes with its own watch, but its entirely observational - has no recording capability. Since this thing connects to your phone, it could store your exercise stats in an app.
But thats IF it could connect to both your phone and heart rate monitor simultaneously. I wish the monitor would connect to the phone, but no app available and pretty sure its RF instead of bluetooth.
ooooooo. i need the red one.

okay let me clear some stuff up.
"JP Morgan you there? you believed in tesla and financially backed up tesla 100 years ago. honor his legacy and help him out again"
While yes JPmorgan financed tesla... it was JPmorgan himself that pulled all finances off of tesla. JP had a monopoly for copper wire used in electric lines. he realized teslas technology could transmit electricty without wires. he then pulled all funding from tesla. His lab was then burnt down and he was ostrisied. So personally, I wouldnt want JP morgan chase's money. they can F right off. you have to realize that if we did (and we can) pull off a clean free energy for everyone it would disrupt the largest money making industry in the world. energy! you would have to say goodbye to ExxonMobil, Oil, Coal, and liner transmission of energy thorugh powerlines. it would be all gone.

Yup ! Usual govt. BS.
In jp Morgan's day there was a running bounty to the first man person who successfully sent a wireless radio message over the Atlantic ocean. Tesla is very underrated in history.
He worked for Westinghouse and basically came up with the idea to use AC current in direct competition with Edison's DC. Edison went to great lengths to gain public disapproval of AC current by showing it could electrocuted a human being, ala, the 1st electric chair.
Westinghouse and their AC current won out obviously. Tesla had to invent a new lightbulb that didn't use Edison's patents at first to be able to showcase AC current bc Edison was such a **** he wouldn't allow them to use his lightbulbs. He did however get rich off of AC current eventually bc his lightbulbs were more efficient.
Thing is that Tesla worked for Edison as well before Westinghouse and invented his fair share of breakthrough devices that he never got credit for.
Anyways, Tesla became obsessive compulsive much like Howard Hughes and lost much of his mental clarity that made him who he was.
Around that time was when he was wanting to build the wireless energy devices. The first in Colorado springs which was debatebly successful and there was the one in long island which jp Morgan funded. However funding was pulled before any extensive testing could be carried out.
He lived the rest of his life in obscurity living in the same hotel room and died virtually penniless.
Sorry for the history lesson, that's just what I remember from history channel. Pretty awesome guy though. One of the few great born geniuses this world has ever seen.
Ask me about my ability to annoy complete strangers!

[Q] A Good Day For Samsungs Sales

This is a discussion about the Gs3's future sales after the announcement of the most popular phone on the market, there have already been numerous 'comparison' threads closed, lets not turn this into one of those.
After today's underwhelming announcement of the iPhone5, the people sitting on the fence about whether to switch to the Galaxy S3 or Note2 (or something else) have to make a decision.
I've been reading comments on Android fan sites, Apple fan sites, and 'Neutral' tech sites, and the general feeling I got from all of them is that the iPhone5 just hasn't done enough to persuade a lot of people to stick with them.
Now, obviously, this thing will sell like hotcakes for the people that don't know any different to make an educated decision / that actually like the iPhone anyway / have bought too heavily into the apple ecosystem to switch now.
But those that are in the know, like everyone who watched the olympics... the S3 was plastered all over the place ... and the people that were keeping up with the patent trials (anyone who reads the news) will now know that there are better offerings out there and most likely opt for a Gs3.
So, do you think we will see a significant boost from the already 20m phones already sold?
.
Samsung has done a wonderful job with the SGS3 and I'm sure the sales will keep up for some time, but it's not easy to convert Apple fanboys to Samsung. I don't think the sales are going to rise much further. The iPhone caught up pretty good (at least in the eyes of casual users).

Even those that have been sitting on the fence the last couple of months to see what Apple has to offer?
Also, a personal insight, my mom and sister got a gs3 shortly after release, and genuinely with no persuading from me. They aren't tech heads, but they knew a class phone when they seen it.
The guys waiting for today to make their decision i think will go galaxy.
i think so, seen people taking 99$ deal on amazon right now
it will not be huge spike but there is going to be one.
for me the new iphone disappoint
no new tech or old favorites like fm radio, xenon flash, still LCD and only 4'
i mean 4.5 would have been fine
I wouldn't under estimate the loyalty a large percentage of smartphone users have towards Apple. Most of us probably had an iPhone at one time and moved to Andriod because we expanded our knowedge to include other smartphones and made an informed decision. There are a lot of people that don't realize there are options and will still buy the iPhone 5. Not sure if they will sell 20M after what I saw today but I have learned to never under estimate people with loyalties...

Of course, they'll sell shed loads. But the huge advertising campaign with the Olympics, the recent trial and those already on the fence should have the gs3 planted in their heads! I think Samsung will steal a good few of them.
Htc might get a wee jeg too if they get in the news regarding the lte patents (if that even happens)
Exciting times for sure.
I've cleaned up the mess fellas. Please remember to be polite and let's not get too far into the "you know what" discussion. :highfive:
A guy named John Pirsig (sp?) wrote a book titled, 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance' a couple of decades back. In it he proposes there are 'Romantic' and 'Classical' people. He and a friend rode across the US (in the book & maybe in real life) on bikes. He had a Harley and the friend a BMW. (patience, it's coming... ) When they rode up the Rockies, the bikes started playing up and while he stopped and worked on his bike, and finally realised it was the reduction in atmospheric pressure needing just a tweak to fix, his mate went and paid a small fortune in a town garage to get his BMW fixed.
Pirsig talked for a bit about those who want an end-result experience and those who wanted to enjoy the journey. Some people forever focus on the end result and miss all the learning and fun along the way, 'big picture' people for whom the nuts and bolts are a horror to be avoided at all costs - literally in the case of his BMW mate.
At the time, as a Helpdesk person, I realised most Mac users are Romantics, people for whom computers are very much NOT fun and who use them solely to get a result and because they have to. Windows users were often some of the same sort, using Windows simply because their work said they had to, but far more of them would, if the subject was explained in terms they understood, become interested in the process and learn to fix their own printer/Word/Excel issues etc.
Apple have polarised the world again with their same-old, same-old tactics. The recent court case against Samsung proves Apple have not lost their litigious attitude towards protecting things they stole in the first place. (WIMP from Rank Xerox) And again we are shown the division between the Romantics and the Classicals - these forums are full of Classicals - look around and you will see lots of people who post about how wonderful this or that version of a ROM is, only to upgrade instantly a new version or even a different ROM comes along.
For most XDA'ers, I think the journey IS the end result - we tend to be travelling along with no particular goal in mind apart from a nebulous 'perfect phone' concept, and if all the developers stopped producing new ROMs to try we'd be heartbroken.
The Apple is good enough for most Apple users, be it Mac, iPad or iPhone. We will never convince them otherwise because they have sipped at the Kool-Aid fountain and like most religious people, they cannot even SEE the contrary information. It doesn't matter if the new iPhone has an A5, A6, A15 or quad or dual, it will be better in their eyes because it powers an Apple. They don't MIND buying expensive corsds ands connectors of all kinds because it is for Apple.
And they definitely don't see an ongoing development process as being a thing of benefit - Apple has spent far too many dollars convincing their world that you don't ever upgrade your device software, you just buy a new device. It is the proud boast of many Apple users that their product is far more stable than Windows, but my old enemy Microsoft constantly produced product that would work (most of the time) on any PC made across a spread of about 10 years, while Apple only ever made software for a very specific hardware platform - if you like, MS made an OS while Apple made glorified Firmware.
The same scenario is happening right now with Android. Android is being made to support all kinds of devices, with a legion of eager supporters providing updates and fixes. (on more of a Linux model than a MS one) Apple will not produce an iOS6 for their old phones, just for the brand new one you have to pay a small fortune for. Samsung (and other Android vendors) are producing updates so you get more life from your phone, providing a level of support to their clients Apple has never tried to match.
And eventually, the numbers will tell - just as in the PC/Mac wars, Apple had to compromise in both hardware and software, (Intel chips and running Windows on Macs) they will find eventually their tactics fail them. In my opinion, Android is the up-and-coming world of phones and pads, and Apple is the dinosaur relying desperately on massive programming... sorry, I mean advertising to keep their victims... I mean customers, loyal.
I think there will be a swing away from Apple as the actuality of the new phone falls far short of expectations and even the glitz Apple will give things will not hide the fact that all they have done is copy what is already being sold for hundreds less. But don't go expecting those weaned on the Kool-Aid to be coming over any time soon - the religious always resist the encroaching reality checks of the real world.
And on a personal note? I LIKE Apple for their litigiousness and mean spirit. If they had been sensible back in the late 80's/early 90's, we'd all be using Macs and locked down so tight I wouldn't have had a 25 year computer career helping others. For more than 2 decades I've had a job description of, 'I'm a bloke, and I fix stuff' that would never have been possible if Apple had treated their customers as anything other than sheeple to be fleeced to the maximum. Their greed allowed PC's to develop and become what we see, and now Apple's greed and contempt will allow Android the space to grow and become the new ubiquitous OS for mobile devices.

*grins* In 1987 I bought an XT clone (1MB Ram, twin 5.25" FDD's - envy of the few I knew with PC's because I could put my programs floppy AND my data one in at the same time ) to write books. I was sick of having to re-type a page or more just to change a sentence. 3 months later the PC got me a new job supporting WPO's at 3 grand per year more than I was getting. and I still haven't written my SciFi books. Working on it now and of course, along comes bloody Samsung S3 with Android and I'm fighting against techo distractions again... le sigh...
Forums like XDA will help greatly with selling Android; some older members need to recall that they once didn't know stuff but mostly folk are very helpful and there is a LOT of info to be had here. Mind you, it suffers a bit from popularity - search for something you want to know and you get like 5000 threads to look through. Needs an Advanced Search function, or maybe I just haven't found it yet. And why can't I search on the entire Samsung S3 forum? le sigh...
I think the reaction from a number of sites about how the court case showed Apple users how they could get everything Apple offered for far less if they stepped away from the Kool-Aid spigot shows an interesting facet to the competition. I haven't seen such comment before, even for Mac/Pentium battles. Usually it was about the differences, not the fact you could get the same thing. It could make a difference, particularly if the members here make a point of posting such a view on any/all forums they are members on.
5th column... the ONLY Army to join...
It is surely a good day for people that knows stuff from the gadget world but for common people they are still awed no matter what. The power of Apple's marketing can even turn a pile of scrap metal into gold.
