Features And Accessories For The HTC Evo

Because it is a bigger device than most users will be able to enjoy viewing capabilities as it has a nice wide screen. It makes it simple to view websites, and the on screen keyboard is very easy to use. The home, menu, back, and search buttons make it easy to navigate the phone’s features. There are not too many accessories that come with the phone, however. Little more than chargers are included. Not even a holster is included with the package.

MapMyRide is similar to CycleMeter, but it benefits from the parent company’s online history with route mapping software. The app is better equipped for tracking not only rides but your nutrition, weight and more, but it can also get you where you need to go. The premium version gets you training plans, more advanced routing options and live tracking you can share with family and friends. Also, and perhaps equally important, the premium version ditches the advertisements you’re stuck with on the free app. While Google Maps is great for roadies or finding your way to the trails, this mapping app is really useful for mountain bikers who enjoy a bit of exploring. It’s free to download and comes with a very usable and free OpenCycle base map of the entire world, so you’re able to free yourself from ‘navigational uncertainty’ whenever the need arises. In addition to that, you can buy super detailed large scale topographical mapping for over 20 countries around the world.

The maps are stored on your phone and it uses your phone’s GPS, so it doesn’t need a signal or data connection to work. You can create and share your own routes in the app and also download other people’s tracks or just explore the riding around you. There’s even a live tracking ‘Buddy Beacon’ function that allows you to share your ride with your adoring public or just selected friends, as well as seeing who’s around you. In a perfect world, you’d get very little use out of this app, but if the worst should happen on a ride it pays to be prepared. While it’s hard to beat going on a proper first aid course, this is probably the next best thing. Using a range of videos, quizzes and step-by-step advice, it aims to help you learn how to deal with common first aid emergencies as well as being an invaluable reference when things go badly wrong. All of the information is stored on the phone, so it’ll work just fine when you don’t have a data connection too. Mechanically minded fettlers tend to love this app. Bike Gear Calculator does what it says on the tin, calculating speed and cadence figures from tweakable virtual drivetrains. Feed the app information on the tyre size, crank length and gear ratios of your bike and revel in the immense data this app will provide. It's ideal for those who want to optimise their bike's gearing for their strength or riding style. Got another app you love, Let us know in the comments below.

When my office’s internet connection went dead for five hours recently, I used my Galaxy Note 8’s hotspot abilities to keep my office up and running. It wasn’t as fast as I’m used to, but it kept the emails and data exchanges flowing. The key was configuring the hotspot with the network’s name and passcode. 9. Is the setup hard to do, Not at all. In fact, it’s one of the easiest configuration changes you can make. It’s different for iPhones and Androids but should take no more than a minute or two. A word of advice: For security purposes, be sure to set the network name and password. 1. Start on the Home screen and tap the Settings icon. 2. Open the Personal Hotspot section. 3. Tap the slider switch to turn on the hotspot. 4. The network name will be the same as the name of your device.
