Hello- I have an iPad as well as a Nexus 5 and this app called Planner Plus is truly fantastic: http://goo.gl/ve21a
Is anyone aware of an app that has similar functionality? I have scoured through the play store but have often found that it's the non-popular apps that work out the best (and sometimes become the next big app)
Thanks!

I'm looking for a way to have my phone and tablet "be as one" where it has the same apps and information. This is not limited to the Note 2 and Note 10.1. I have a Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 as well. I use mostly the cloud heavy apps such as dropbox, and google drive to keep information in sync.
Will titanium backup be my best bet? Back up on one device and restore on another. Google play does a decent job restoring all apps at start but I download on one wont be downloaded another (with same google account?)
All and any input is appreciated. What are you guys doing with multiple devices? Thanks!

Does anyone know of any apps taking advantage of the pedometer hardware in the nexus 5 yet? I'm currently using noom walk but it's not massively accurate.
Cheers!

There's an app called moves that does an EXCELLENT job of this. The interface is fantastic. Highly recommend it.

Does Moves use specifically the pedometer hardware?

Yes, it was the first to actually support the Nexus 5's pedometer.

I'm pretty sure Google Now does but it only gives you an update once a month.

Cool app Moves

I just saw this and I really hope they can bring this on the Nexus 5, too. I doubt it, though...

have you seen this?
its very simple compared to the "big guys" apps..
http://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus5/comments/1rcd17/need_beta_testers_for_lightweight_pedometer_app/
Here's one that users the hardware step counter on the N5, it has a nice ui and has achievements etc too
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.pedometer
Data collected by Moves can be exported to a variety of connected apps to track fitness over time, visualize travels, etc.
The AIRS ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.airs) recording app recently added the pedometer as a dedicated sensor. It's not specifically focussing on step counting only but more generally on lifelogging. Its companion app Storica ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.storica) lets you view your daily step count, among all the other data you collected on your phone.
hope google develop its Now activity card better with pedometer data
I'm currently using moves app as a pedometer. It is nice looking and good app but consumes way too much battery. At the same time it feels stupid that both moves and google now are tracking my path. Hope moves developers gives options for phones with hardware step counters to turn off tracking path when there is no need for their own algorithms to detect steps but I'm not holding my breath because it is clearly big part of that app's user experience what they want to offer.
So my second thought is that now when android 4.4 and hopefully more devices with hardware step counters will come to market google should develop google nows activity card better. I don't see any point in that card currently only showing once a month. Hope they will develop it more in the way like moves is currently. Google now already tracks the path like moves and now with pedometer they should count steps and give chance to user select how often they want to see that activity card. I think they should give a option to show daily activity card with path, steps, distance and walking/cycling/running time like moves do. Maybe even burned calories.
The S5 seemed relatively unimpressive, however the download booster feature seems interesting where it uses lte and wifi for data. I was curious as to whether someone could port that over to the Nexus 5 or create their own implementation.
P0rn download b00ster. Moar plox google
Anyways I think it's hardware

I think it is implemented in software. There is a demo for using both LTE and WiFi on Galaxy S2 on YouTube already. (Search for "Energy-efficient multi-link video streaming on smartphones")
This would be REALLY nice feature to have. I actually might root for it!
Im pretty sure that it is software related, because I remember reading about an app for android that does this for you, but for the life of me can't remember the name of the app.
Edit: found it http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...s-mobile-data-wifi-for-faster-internet-speed/

oh i am going to test
Any feedback? 4/5 stars on the Play Store from a N5 user.
Unfortunately I have no WiFi connection to test...
My LTE connection blows away my home Wi-Fi connection.... I don't see how I could benefit from a booster. I would think it would utilize bandwidth from my cellular data connection and not touch my Wi-Fi. Just another gimmick to pay twice as much as you need for a device imho.

It looks like an Awesome app. I'll be testing this on my Nexus 5 soon. Anyone with a nexus 5 have any good results?

Does anyone know what shift worker app is the best on the android market? I rely on these apps to plan my months and the one I used to use on my iPhone doesn't appear to be available. Any help would be really appreciated!!

I just bit the bullet and entered all my shifts into Google Calendar. My shift pattern repeats after 10 weeks, so although it took me a little while to get those first ten entered, the "repeat every xx...." function in Calendar means I never have to mess around with it again.
Also, having it in my calendar means that Google Now can give me reminders when to leave for work early if, for instance, the traffic is bad that day.
Plus, if I ever move away from Android (unlikely) then my Calendar can come with me, no issues - rather than facing the same problem which you have now.
To actually display my calendar I like Calendar Pad's widget. Also I have Calendar Status Pro in my notification shade, which is handy because I have a constant reminder of calendar appointments every time I pull down the shade.
I'm always interested in trying out new solutions if they can provide better functionality though, so I'd be interested to hear what other people use too
That's an idea I had already contemplated but my shifts change every 5 weeks. I used an app on the iPhone called 'Shift worker' made by a company called production shed. I've emailed them to see if they have the same app available for android but I highly doubt it! Shame a dev couldn't come up with something that we could really make great use of! All the apps I've saw just look mega complicated. Might need to resort to Google calendar though and integrate it with Google now.

I have used Flexr for about a year. :good:

Arbeitskalender is also a good app. You can find it in PlayStore. I am sorry, I don't have the link right now.

And why? Pro's + cons?
I've always used Google maps just because it's there. Never really looked into others but my friend says Waze is great. My dad says sygic is what he uses.
What's your opinions on the matter?
