FastCustomer App

Calling customer service for anything is a chore.  You have to wait on hold until the next representative is available listening to annoying music and looping voices.  Wouldn’t it be wonderful if customer support called you when they were available.  That is what FastCustomer does.

You open up the app and select the company you need to contact and then when they get through to a person your phone will ring.

Dropbox for Android
avatar

Dropbox is a very well know file sharing service service.  It works across all major operating systems include mobile phones.  I use it to keep my projects in sync across the multiple PCs I use in different locations.  With Dropbox after you make a change to a file it is then uploaded and distributed out to your other machines as soon as they are connected to the internet.

With the mobile app you can download any the files in your Dropbox on your mobile device.  You can also upload files to it as well.  I upload my backup files for different phone apps right up to my Dropbox.  This allows me to be able to wipe out my phone without losing a thing.  If you don’t have a Dropbox account and want to get one you can follow this link:   http://db.tt/L1fAyGt

Droidlight LED Flashlight App

There are hundreds of different flashlight apps out there which had all sorts of bells and whistles.  I like the plain and simple interface of Droidlight.  This app just displays a simple bulb in the center of the screen, which when you touch it, it lights up and your flashlight turns on.  It also has a neat little feature where if you leave the app open without the flashlight on and turn off the screen, when you turn on the screen the flashlight will turn on.

ConnectBot for Android

If you are like me I have systems which I am responsible for 24×7 which are running Linux.  A great little app which allows to do connect to Linux servers using ssh.  The app allows you to setup port forwarding and it can even use certificate authentication.  This is one app I use quite frequently.

Busybox for Android
avatar

Android is based on Linux, but most of the Linux functionality you are used to is missing.  Busybox allows you to add those missing functions to android.  Unfortunately the busybox installer will only work on a rooted android phone.  It is a free app though and I highly recommend it on any rooted device.
