UK Train Departure Times APK

Anyone got it? I believe someone attached it in a post on XDA but I can't find it anywhere .

Here you go.

Sorry for the late response, thanks a lot.
Has anyone been able to find this in the market? I've tried but I've yet to see it.

It's now called "Train T imes UK" and is now a paid app.

I have to agree, the platform information itself has saved me a few missed trains

Strange.....There are 2 Train Times UK apps. I have a free one installed on my phone and then there's the paid (official) one on the market. The one I have no longer seems to be on the market.
Wonder whether it got nobbled by the official one? Wondered why there hadn't been any updates for a while. Dev was quite active one forums from memory.

I use the UK National Rail Train Departures app v1.04 - free when I installed it.
Works really well providing live travel info....
http://download.nationalrail.ktbm.com/releases/uknrtd_v1.0.4.apk

Has anyone got any up to date ones as only the new ones will provide live information since they updated.

The paid app "Train Times UK" is worth the money, I use it every day. The widgets are great too. Shame about our rail service that stops working at the first fluff of snow though!

I think it is quite silly that I have to pay for this rail app. I already pay a hefty train ticket, with further increases next month. The data is freely available on their website, so to charge £3.49, I personally think is not cool. In my opinion it should be made available free of charge, as part of their service. (my £0.02)

there is this: Train Times UK app which is VERY good...
but the developer discontinued the app, I really don't know why....
but I still got the .apk on my phone... so I extracted it and voilà!
it's a free app (ad supported), always been free, and the credits goes all to the developer:

Does this still work for anyone? Mine seems to have died :O. It doesn't connect or show any rail times.

Why dont you just use the national rail wap site. Its free and always up to date

You need to complete 4 or 5 of the 7 steps and after you are going to have the 23 gbs of free space. I didn't now that so for 3 weeks I had only 2 gbs of free space until I figured out that I needed to go through the 7 steps... Hopefully that solved your problem.

go to dropbox.com and register your account.
Complete as many of the sign up steps that you can, i.e. link to facebook and twitter for extra space. I completed all the steps.
I then downloaded the dropbox app from the Play Store.
I logged into dropbox with the android app.
hey presto 5 mins later i got 23GB of dropbox space.

Yeah, it also helps if you haven't tried to cheat them with a hacked apk. Looking at that thread, some people had problems and they were fixed.
Do you have a point?

I wasn't referring to you specifically, but some people cheated them with a hacked apk BEFORE buying the phone.
I'm not sure what you hope to achieve by ranting in this forum. Nobody here can fix it for you, you haven't explained what you've tried, and you linked to a forum that shows dropbox employees helping people who have a problem.
I can only assume you're trolling.
I'll happily retract that when you stop behaving like one.

This is not a rant I'm not going on and on. I paid for this phone unlocked. Signed into DB with I did the setup. And I have yet to get my storage. I clearly have this device and I did every single thing the set up asked. If u check my post history you'll see I actually help people. Why do I need to troll what would I get out of it. If u cant help in anyway close your face. That simple.

Bad move asking me to check your post history. Oh, helping people to rip off developers is questionable help. And publishing instructions on how to rip off apps shows a propensity for ripping people off.

That's not a great defence.
You may not also be aware that renting DVDs and copying them is illegal.
Downloading games and using a crack to avoid paying for them, is illegal.
Filling your car up with petrol, but obscuring your number plates and then driving off without paying... illegal.
In fact, in general, when something has a price, taking it without paying, is not legal.
Hope that helps.
I don't wish to patronise, but you don't seem to be aware of these things. Good luckout there!

Wow, this one went south fast. I agree with BenPope that an enormous amount of people w/o HTC phones tried to scam Dropbox so their probably a little bit bitter.
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Drop...HTCs-25GB-of-free-cloud-storage-promo_id28784
But it's still sort of strange that with a One in your hands you can't get the extra storage activated. I agree the extra steps are a pain and kind of take away from it being "free" but it seems like most people that plod through them get the extra storage they're entitled to. Why don't you wipe the phone and start over with a brand new Dropbox account? Once you get the promo storage amount you can have it merged back in to your existing account.

That's exactly what I did. Couldn't get the extra storage no matter what I tried, so set up another dropbox account using my secondary Gmail address, got the extra storage, merged it with my initial dropbox account.... Sorted. Didn't even have to jump on xda and have a moan about it
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

When I first bought the phone I thought I was cheated too. But it wasn't the case. Make sure you complete the quick start guide. If I still remember correctly you have to complete 5 out of the 7 steps and the 25GB is credited to your account. It took me a lot of hassle but I assure you that you get what you deserve.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

I didn't have a problem getting the storage... And I originally got it from installing a sense 4 rom on desire hd (!) so don't think the type of one x you have makes a difference. It did take a couple of days and was a bit weird but eventually worked. Just make sure you activate with the dropbox app and do the rest through the computer. I'm sure dropbox will sort it out and a small claims court won't be necessary.
OT: I appreciate that 'stealing is wrong' but let's not give viirus a hard time over that - ignorant and stupid thing to post here, he's apologised, let's move on. I'm sure he's also purchased stuff from the playstore as well... There's is a discussion thread on here about making N.O.V.A. 3 run well on the One X. Lots of well respected members seem to be involved in that discussion and the last time I checked, Gameloft games don't work on the One X. So I'm not sure where they got that game from... I buy things from the playstore, I buy music from record shops but I've also used piratebay. I don't think many people here can say that isn't the case for them (unless they are super-rich ).
I'm playing devil's advocate a bit here so please don't flame me!!!

Cerberus - Is it worth it?

Right now, I have two phones, and tablet. I have yet to use the free 25 dollars given to use by Google, and I was wondering if the app was worth the license.

Hell yes. It's like $5 lol

Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

In my opinion, this is probably the single most important android app to install. Also, one license for work for 5 devices. It's absolutely worth the asking price, and much more.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Imo it's absolutely worth it, and it's really a steal at like $2.50 or whatever it comes out to. Yes the permissions and access the app (and therefore the developer) has can be a bit concerning, but from everything I've seen so far it's nothing to worry about and I personally haven't had any issues whatsoever. The developer seems trustworthy and keeps the app updated, including for JB devices. Honestly you'd have to be pretty paranoid to refuse to install such an essential app onto your valuable devices for this type of reason, and if my phone or Nexus gets stolen I'll have the peace of mind knowing the app is installed and ready to do whatever needs to be done to get it back and keep my information from being accessed.

Personally I think its a little overpriced, given the exchange rate. Maybe as and when they have a sale.

I thought the only way to pay for this was via PayPal? Anyway, I agree, this is now the second app I install on the phone / tablet after flashing. The first remains Tasker.

No it doesn't. It asks for these permissions in order to be able to wipe them (without root) if need be.

I have Cerberus and I recommended it to everyone. I do believe that Cerberus does collect info and sell it. They are upfront about this and keep that info anonymous. Who cares if they see how much porn I watch?

Here it is. In the terms of use and privacy policy.

I recommended this app to a friend who had his phone stolen and he's been very happy with it. I haven't bought it myself, but I'm thinking I will very shortly as it's one thing to lose a phone, but another all together to lose my N7.

Avast Antivirus does more and is free... just saying
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app

+1 for Avast
Avast = 4.7 rating = free
Cerberus = 4.6 rating = lunch

It is worth ... I think this is one of the most amazing app for Android. All those features. Great app!

So how good would Cerberus be on the N7 though? Seems like the power lies in it being able to accept SMS commands, right? Since the N7 isn't a phone, would it still be worth it, or am I not understanding how it works?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

Good Q... I'm using it, but clearly only works if the N7 is connected to the thief's WiFi so not quite as powerful on a phone I guess..

Best security app ever for EPIC4GT

Sorry for the shameless self promotion. But my Security app Root Defense was developed on the Epic 4G touch and unlike any other security app out there, it will allow you to continue to track your phone even if it gets wiped or a hard-reset by a thief.
It's almost impossible to lose your phone and it's completely free. You can subscribe if wanted for additional logging goodies.
It requires that you have a rooted phone (as most people have on XDA)
Please try it out and rate and comment on Google Play if you like it.

Yeah, Cerberus was a program created after ours that has many of the same features. Even including the 5 licenses for the price of one.
Root Defense comes with many many more features though and no user interface on the phone.
Basically its still free but with more features and a stealthier install.
Also ours shows the existing data of logs and location from before a phone went missing so you aren't in the dark when your device is off

Root defense also is free and survives wipes and all the features the $4 a month is only if you wish to keep the logging features. All actually security features are free and always will be.
One of the major differences if the our free edition vs Cerberus is that our free version also keeps track of the last known coordinates.
What this means is that if your phone was stolen or lost and was either turned off or ran out of battery. Our product would show you where it last was and when it was there. Cerberus won't be able to show you anything as it needs to connect to the device each time to read data.
This is true of most fee or one-time fee programs because that's how they can afford it. In order to be helpful to people off-line, you need to store the data in a database which will quickly incur cost to developers (especially storing MMS messages.)
Anyway, different stroke for different folks. But keep in mind that after the trial ends, you still have (any always will have) all the free version features.

Personally I like having a second phone to quickly and easily show off something cool on the new phone via video. I had a d2g that had a bad esn (I thought I could use it in Europe, but was locked out there too) and I used it a lot for that.
Also I use it when going abroad, as it will work in Europe and the states.
Also, I love using my old phones as alarm clocks. You'd be amazed how many days an old BB Curve will last with all the radios turned off. I'm guessing a Dinc2 would be good that way too.

I know GPS will work without data, but if you need to pull up directions for navigation, you need to be on WiFi to download the coordinates. After that if you don't make it re-route it will work. As for the 2nd question.....idk

really on all these ideas. I still have my Eris (though the trackball still scrolls left) as an emergency backup, mp3/Pandora player for in-house and garage (anywhere WiFi reaches), and white noise machine for sleeping baby.
Sometimes wish it didn't have that trackball issue so I could use it more efficiantly, so a fully operational DInc2 laying around would be an awesome thing to have.
What did you end up getting?

Thanks for the advice. I also like the idea of an experimental unit, now that I do not rely on the device daily, I can check out the jellybean rom and try out google now

Yea, I used up all the paper in the house. It only lasts for a short while now, but it does work for a little (usually). I even replaced the trackball with a blackberry one. I was thinking about trying just caking the area around the trackball/circuit board with JB weld to prevent flex which I think is causing the intermittent contact issue caused by the location of the charging port in relation to the trackball.
Ah well, either way it is extra and it wont be the end of the workl if I destroy it!
Yay for extras!

I'll be using mine as a paranormal investigation tool. I have a few apps that actually work, unlike ghost radar.

Navigation now that maps has an offline feature!

htc/Verizon asks that you place your inc2 on end of barrel of a 12 gauge, insert 3in slug, make it rain incredible flakes. now your inc2 has been officially updated by Verizon

Like someone else mentioned, the phone could be used as a VOIP home phone. All it requires is a Google Voice account and an app called GrooveIP (there's a free version, but the $5 full-featured version is definitely worth the money in my opinion). I also take it with me when I travel, since most airports and lots of hotels offer free WiFi, which allows me to make as many phone calls as I like without running up my minutes. I've been using my Inc2 for this purpose for awhile now, and it's very nice to have. I keep the phone in a dock and also use it for streaming music when I'm home as well as for my alarm clock. Just because the phone isn't activated on a wireless plan shouldn't mean that it can't serve a purpose.
Only other piece of advice; I would steer clear of ICS/JB based Roms if using it as a VOIP phone. I had nothing but trouble with the audio settings on GrooveIP. But the stock Rom, or any GB-based Rom should work fine. I use MROM (which is CM7 based) and it works exactly as expected.
