A few days ago, a kindly gentleman from Smart Android Apps asked us if we’d like to review its AudioManager Pro Android sound app. We Googled it quickly to make sure it wasn’t some absolute piece of trash, discovered that it wasn’t, then said “Yes please”.
So here’s a little look at AudioManager Pro.
And when we say “little look” we mean it – it’s a rather simple tool. You install it, then set it up as a widget on your home screen – picking from a range of ‘graphic equaliser’ style visual formats, that illustrate your personal volume settings for all your Android sounds, ring tones, alarms and alerts.
The smartest feature is the ability to save all your sound settings as a number of unique Profiles, so you can have a minimum noise sound config file for at work, max volume and noises at home, or any combination of alarm, notification or button-press sound alerts grouped together you fancy.
It is quite good, and certainly much less of a pain than navigating the cumbersome Android “back end” and trying to find out how to stop your phone beeping at you when you’re supposed to be working, plus who can turn down the chance to have a stylish graphic equaliser bar on their Android home screen?
Head off to SAA if you’d like to get the official party line on it.
Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.
