Hey everyone, it's Elisabeth from Soleil Tech Princess,
and welcome to my summer edition of What's on My Android Phone 2013
I decided to do another one because the one I did back in March
had a generally good response
so I decided to update you all on what's on my phone now. Some things have changed, not a lot, let's get started.
Starting with the outside of the phone the case I have now is the eForcity Hybrid Armor case. I got it for $3.55 from Amazon,
and it's a pretty good case, I use this more than the other cases I bought,
I talked more about those in my May Tech Favorites video
which I posted at the beginning of this month. I'll put a link to that in the description or an annotation on the screen.
It has a really nice volume rocker, and power button on the right.
The camera cutout doesn't interfere with the camera, neither does the charging port or microphone ports and headphone jack.
Overall, it's a pretty good case, I won't go into too much detail, I talked more about it in my May Favorites video.
Turning on the phone, here is my lockscreen. Here's my wallpaper, I got it from an app called Zedge.
I don't remember the name (of the wallpaper) or if it even had a name, but I really like it. It looks like a starry night in the woods.
Also, I have these app icons down here, I made a tutorial on how to get these on the screen.
Swipe over them to open the application. If I didn't have a password the app would open immediately.
Starting with the homescreen, this is the Tumblr widget. All you can do with this is start a new post on your Tumblr blog, right from here, text, photo, quote, link, chat, or video.
Here's GYRO, an app I talked about in my last "What's on my Android Phone" video, Chrome browser, I hardly use the regular Internet browser, this one is so much better.
Play Store, Beam (Twonky Beam) which is an application that I believe I mentioned in the last video.
Basically, if you have a Roku player, or any media streaming device,
The main reason I got this app was to watch YouTube on my TV, without buying a smart TV.
The Roku application, controls your Roku like a remote.
Temple Run 2, everyone knows what Temple Run is by now.
Phone, Camera, YouTube, Messaging.
Before we open the app drawer let's look at my other home screens.
Here is my widget screen, with all of my main widgets. First is Pandora,
then a widget for an app called gAnalytics (Google Analytics), because the normal (official) Google Analytics app is pretty bad
it constantly crashes. Here are the stats for one of my other websites, just to give you an example.
Feedly, which is kind of like Flipboard, but I like Feedly better. It gives you access to more sites,
the sites you read from aren't picked for you. Also, it is the replacement for Google Reader.
Finally, down here is the any.do widget. I talked about any.do in my last "What's on my Phone" video,
I will put that link in the description. This widget lets you scroll through all your tasks. I have one right here that says
write for my blog. You can add a new one by voice or by typing.
My final widget screen has Go Power Master, which lets me enhance my battery usage, you tap this
and it automatically optimizes my phone to use the least amount of battery possible.
Then I have T-Mobile My Account, Messaging, Play Store, WordPress, and Skype.
Then there is the Swagbucks Widget, which helps you earn SwagBucks on your phone, you can search, watch videos,
search for products and search by voice as well.
Now we'll look into my actual app drawer.
411 & More, which comes on all T-Mobile phones,
it's something you can't uninstall, I kinda wish you could but you can't.
7 by 7, which is an interesting game.
It's a mash between Bejeweled and Connect 4
It's kind of hard to explain,
but it's pretty addicting sometimes. It's a really fun game to play.
It's one of those time passing games. I'm not gonna
go too much into it, like I said. Check it out.
Adobe Reader, Amazon Kindle, which lets you read Kindle books,
pretty self explanatory. Then I made a folder for
all my analytics-based apps, because I tend to collect a few of those.
In my analytics folder, I have Adsense Dashboard,
which is one of the best AdSense applications,
and one of the only I found that actually does
everything I need, so you can view CTR, CPM, and CPC.
If you don't know what any of that means, it's all AdSense and AdWords terminology,
you can Google it. Analytics Center,
which is stats for YouTube, Twitter, and AdSense.
There's a free version of same app, I upgraded to the premium
after downloading the free, but I didn't wanna lose
my data that I'd saved on the free app, so I have both.
gAnalytics, the widget I just showed you. And StatSheep,
which is interesting, it's kind of the same as Analytics Center, but instead of giving you
day by day stats, it's just an overview of the past
24 hours, and you don't have to log in to access
account stats, it shows you more in detail about
YouTube earnings, by the way it's only for YouTube
and it shows you more in-depth YouTube earnings.
If you wanna know how much your favorite YouTuber makes
or how many views they get per day, how many subscribers
subscribers they get on a daily basis, that's
an app you can use. There is an online version,
statsheep.com. Next is any.do, we talked about that.
Assistant. There are all these "Android rivals to Siri"
I haven't hand any user experience, so I can't
say for myself. They're pretty decent. They can be kind of annoying.
Everytime you get a text message, it says, "Can I read your text out loud?"
and I'm like, "No." and it won't work without an internet connection.
Then I have BatteryGuru, which is an app I did a full review on.
