F*ck, so jelly bro. Take care of it.

I dropped my Galaxy S5 in Sydney Harbour last Friday when I went fishing, went and bought a Google Nexus 5 the next day. Decent phones.

I'll be getting the S6 when it comes out!
Got the S4, my contact finishes when the S6 comes out, can't wait.

I thought the S5 would float to the surface, fly in the air, shake itself off and put your bait on your hook for you haha

Catch any fish mate?

Press your power button and home at the same time ;) - should take a screenshot (works on HTC's).

Some of these apps depend on if you drive, and your own lifestyle, but here goes.

Note: These are on my HTC M8.

MR I's MUST HAVE APPS
Astro File Manager - File Manager.
Barcode Scanner - for grabbing item serial numbers.
Battery ETA (decent battery widget).
Coles - Not bad for when you want to ninja shop as it'll tell you exactly where to find something.
Emergency+ - Must have for emergency services!
Footy Scoreboard - Because score updates when out are important!
Foxtel Guide - If you have Foxtel hooked up at home to internet you can link straight into your own box and tell it what to record when out!
Gumtree AU - If you use the site.
Live Traffic NSW - This is a godsend if you are out and about on the road. Tells you traffic and roadworks, etc.
NRMA - If you are a member this is invaluable.
Official F1 - If you are a fan, this is well worth buying, but watch the data usage!
OnePunch Notes - Notes and widgets.
Toilets (its the app from toiletmap.gov.au) - because sometimes toilet breaks come up at the wrong time!
Vehicle Log Book - Just got this and it's bloody awesome for logging vehicle kms, etc.
Woolworths - like the Coles app.

As you are in IT, you'll love the Android OS. It's very "tech head" based I find.

Speaking of which, tech based apps you might want to check out:
Google Authenticator - for sites that use Two Factor Authentication.
Fing - Bloody handy network mapping tool (put the phone on, go searching, voila!).
InSSIDer - Wireless network monitoring / analyzing software.
Overlook Whiz - Server Monitor
PingTools - Ping/Tracert/etc etc
WiEye - Another wireless network scanner.
Wifi Analyzer - as above.
Server Monitor - Server Monitoring App.

So if we have a server or a service on a server fail, my phones (personal and work) let me know very quickly what's gone down, and where to look.

Fing is an awesome bit of kit. Quite a swiss army knife.

As I have the HTC One M8, Scribble, Flashlight and HTC TV are built in, and all are kickarse applications.

Both my phones though, are not rooted or customised from stock OS.
Cheers man, Ill be sure to check them out :D

I use the Tech21 cases on everything I have now (Ipad, Note 3, Macbook). They're not overly bulky and have some of the highest drop protection there is.

Looking at replacing my htc one for Sony Xperia Z3 in a couple of months time.

My htc one has served me well, no issues, very stable and great battery life!

@ Özil: Knowing Sony, in a couple of months time the Z4 will be released. They have a 6 month cycle on their flagship phone so keep that in mind.

Extremely underrated phones though.

Very rarely does someone say "ive just made a change and fucked up". So spare me the "android is better" shit.
Nearly everyone i know, who switched to android, did it because theyre cheap (contrary to what they'll have you believe), said the same shit youse are saying now and have nearly all gone back to iOS.

"Rarely" and "Nearly" aren't words that will win you any argument, let alone one regarding which is the better between Android vs iOS.

Nice troll bait attempt in this thread though. :grinning:

I'm not saying Android is better, just that iOS is worse.
