So, I've got my Fuze... customised... flashed numerous roms, downloaded tons of games and other software... I've figured out a few tricks... And it does a lot of really handy stuff... I can edit schedules for work, carry around all of my information etc... But people constantly ask me... "what do you need a phone that does all of that for?"
So I was wondering if anyone uses their phone to do anything exceptionally cool...
Just looking to get the most out of my device and always looking for new things to tinker with...
Didn't really see a thread dedicated to ideas like this so I thought I'd post one...
i use my phone to play xbox live at work.....oh yes!!!! thank god for internet sharing
I bypass my work's proxy to play online games at work and browse websites they won't let me
Oh, and I sometimes use it to call.
mostly use internet to stream music at work, but that's if i can get a dadgum 3g signal
but i have used it as a level to hang a pic before. that drew some wtfs
I use it to provide near instant support for my Web site's readers. (It's a news site... serves a very general audience.) With my mobile device, I take readers who are angry because they can't find something and have all but given up, and turn them around with my quicker than quick replies. We use exchange, so the real push notifications make near instant replies possible.
Other than that, I use it for true mobile podcast listening. No need to synch my device with a computer to have the latest podcasts.
I also use the device to run our news organization's twitter and facebook updates, as well as live wireless video reporting using Qik.
So, for a newsie site operator, this is a damn good device. With a keyboard.
Play NES and Gameboy ROMS. Browse flash websites with skyfire. Draw using mobile paint programs.
Most exciting, four days ago pocket Blender3d was revived after a two year break.

There are no phones out there that can do this. Its mostly handy for showing off your work in a 3d environment, but you could feasibly create something on the spot as well.
Oh and taking panorama pictures.
whats the best snes or gb emulator for us anyway?
I use Winamp remote to watch tv/movies...decent quality too.
I use it as a graphing calculator.
well, it makes a dandy paper weight. it's also a very cool alarmclock, I use it to read books, I have even used to for a "avoiding irate wife" tool, and it's always been an awesome "irritate wife" tool. it's a gps thingie, a great money eater, and it works awesome to awe and cow the technically illiterate.
lets see
- upload pics of my one year old to facebook, as soon as I take 'em - instant share with all my family and friends!
- upload videos directly to facebook using the new Facebook app
- my defacto ebook reader when I travel
- my MP3 player for my gym work outs
- watch hulu.com on skyfire to catch missed TV epsiodes (on the elliptical)
- podcasts, newsfeeds
- FM radio for listening to the TV in my gym
- i use OneNote Mobile to make all my lists - grocery, shopping, important numbers etc
- English-Spanish dictionary, when I travel
- traffic updates on Google maps
- Weather and Stocks on TF3D
- Tomtom navigation, when I really need to ASK for directions

With this, I can use my phone as a remote control to Windows Media Player or Itunes on my computer. It's great if you link up your computer to a big screen or stream music through an Apple Airport. I don't even have to get up to change a track, pause a video, or fast forward.
Wake On LAN is great too so I can turn on my computer from virtually anywhere in the house using my phone
Have it Fart!!

Let's see:
- Watch movies / series in the train
- Listen to music
- Check internet for information / news / train delays
- GPS in Google maps let me find things easily. With lattitude
my wife knows where I am without calling, which can be good and bad
- ScummVm plays me Monkey Island 1 and 2
- I can use it as a lightsaber
- Appointments & tasks
- Notes
- Use it to control my home computer with remote desktop
- Oh wait, it can call and sms too.
How did you use it to level a picture? Is this an app?
Thanks,
Dave
I'd love to use mine for some of this stuff. Now if I could only find something to get rid of those 40-50 calls I get a day.

ooh ooh and you can use the fuze to read them 2d barcodes. i grabbed the quickmark freeware one. and i found a code on a box of insulin. it only had the lot and expiration date but it was dang cool

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Start -> Settings -> System (Tab) -> G-Sensor
Just don't hit the calibrate button! hit ok when done.
wonder fuze powers activate! form of... an ice banana!
My Stuff
Well, I use my Touch Pro for fun and work:
Custom software that hits databases, including SQL Mobile and HandDBase, to maintain expenses/income and clients for partner's business, and my own wine list, cocktail/mixed drinks applications, and such
Update serveral blogs directly
Goof off on the web, and TV, and Instant Messenger
Use to get several different emails, including work, so I can pretend I am working from a bar
Used as a flashlight with "Torch" - comes in handy when sneaking around in the dark, or looking for dropped items in dark areas
it has my music on it so it is my portable MP3 player that I connect to my car and everything
Stream TV, some movies, video clips (yes, even porn)
Edited Microsoft presentations, Excel files, and documents for work and clients
use as GPS navigation in my car, in case you didn't know, some software will work with the GPS in the phone but will use a "voice" to read the directions, and if you just plug your phone into your car Aux. port, it will come across the speakers in your car. Pretty cool to show off.
Of course use it as portable storage, no longer carry around the stupid USB drive sticks
So, some is fun, some is cool, most is work stuff. LOL
Hi,
My wife has Samsung phone and old Active Watch. In galaxy store there are some quite nice (and free) watch faces.
Is it possible to connect to her account to just download watch faces and back to my phone but without factory reset?
Watch faces are not the same on the Active as the Watch4. The watch faces on the Active are Tizen and Watch 4 are Wear. It is not related to your account but the OS of your watch. It is possible that Samsung converted some of them but if that was the case they would probably show as available on your Watch4. I had some faces I was using on my GW1 (Tizen) which the developer had to convert to Wear for Watch4.
Dear all.
I just bought Watch4 classic LTE (did not have Watch2/3 so far) and I wanted to upload some fancy i.e. r*x or om* faces that I have in .gwd formats (I have also some in .watch). Is it even possible? Do you know the steps? are there any tutorials? Gear watch studio does not work with Watch4
thanks a lot
You need the new Watchface Studio for Wear OS. In this app you can also import old watchfaces. I believe .watch is the format for watchmaker.
Here you go for the Studio:
