ARe there any apps that will send flight deals to my phone? I've found a couple so far, but they always want me to put in the EXACT day I'm leaving and returning.

Even if I could search month to month, as the other option is so tedious and takes forever.

Not an app, but what you can do sign up for daily personalized email deals from whatever site and forward them all to an RSS via this which you could read in Google Reader.

What phone do you have? Older phones have a limited app data partition and so it fills up quickly after you install a lot of apps. The HTC Incredible has an ext4 mod that increases the partition size and its easy to flash, I don't know about what phone you're using.

I don't know what the datadata partition is on that so either you'll have to clear out the cache from a lot of your apps, delete some apps, find a way to move the app data to your SD Card, or find a way to expand the partition. NotEnoughSpace can analyze your partition and figure out what's taking up space and then move app data to the SD card with various degrees of success.

If your friends have tight privacy settings, Haxsync can't update their picture. You have to remove your Haxsync account and log back in to force an update. The developer said he is working on a fix.

Does anyone know of an app that will set off a notification every hour? It doesn't need to do anything else, just make a sound at the top of the hour.

A Pinball Wizard posted:

Is there a good guide to tasker somewhere? I can get as far as "fire off a notification when time equal to" but I can't figure out how to set it off every hour, let alone find a way to toggle it when I go into and out of work (I work at different times on different days, or else I'd just use an hourly chime app off the marketplace).



Contexts:
1) Time, 0000-2300, repeat every 1 hour
2) State-Variable-Variable Value: %WORK = on

Task: Media, Music Play (file)

You'll then have to set up a profile that sets the WORK variable to "on" when you get to work and off when you leave. If you have a specific work wifi you connect to can create a task that sets the variable WORK to "on" when you get to connect to that wifi and off when you disconnect. Or you can set it up to detect when you are at your work location. Or you can set up a manual toggle widget on your desktop.

Just made the switch from iOS to Android as I found a deal on a HTC One S that I couldn't pass up. I'm a bit confused with the whole contacts thing. I use the default app next to the phone on the taskbar. I set it to sync with facebook but it turns out having all of your facebook friends appear under your contacts is just plain irritating. At the moment I have it set to 'Remove Facebook data' under the Contacts Sync page on the facebook app. Using 'Sync with existing contacts' doesn't seem to do anything which is annoying, and when I use the remove all data option and then try and link a contact to their facebook account, their account doesn't show up? Am I just being an idiot or should I be using a different contacts app?

I don't know how Facebook sync works on your phone but its had problems with ICS, you might look into an app like HaxSync or use another facebook sync solution.

If you are on a newer phone or tablet and want higher resolution contact pictures you can check out this app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ryosoftware.contactphotosupdater

The donate version has an option to double the default ICS contact picture resolution (needs root). It can pull pictures off of Facebook though I've been using the semi automated process of using a source image folder with images named for a contact. The difference is obviously striking.

This isn't an app, but another way to get a weather forecast without an app that I found. If you go to Weather Underground and copy the link address for "Download iCal" (the blue arrow next to the RSS icon) you can add that iCal to Google Calendar (add by URL). It'll show up on your calendar widgets, etc with no other app needed.

Google Calendar has the ability to do this natively but the forecast given isn't as detailed.
