After over a year of development and lots of user feedback, we are excited to announce that tawkon is now available FREE on supported Samsung Galaxy S devices (Vibrant, Captivate, GTI 9000)!
tawkon for Android (beta) is the only mobile application that lets you see and avoid mobile phone radiation.
Real-time Radiation Indication
Our tiny icon on your home screen changes from green to yellow to red indicating low-moderate-high levels of radiation exposure at any given time.
Live Prompts & Feedback
tawkon subtly alerts you when exposure to radiation rises, with simple prompts to avoid radiation just when you need to. Live feedback confirms that your actions were effective.
Map your Home or Office
Activate tawkon in “prediction mode” to see low and high radiation zones in your home, office or neighborhood.
Personal Stats
Dynamic graphical statistics clearly demonstrate how much radiation you avoided by using tawkon during the last call, day, week, month and six months.
The World’s First Live Radiation Map
The tawkon community is creating the world’s first user-generated radiation map. Our tawkon-enhanced Google Map shares the collective data of radiation exposure levels from our users worldwide. Contribute to this valuable collective information source by just activating tawkon on your Android!
Extensive accuracy testing and RF calibration means we introduce tawkon supported devices one-at-a-time, even on Android We therefore don’t yet support all Android models but we’re qualifying more all the time. Remember – tawkon also supports selected BlackBerry devices and we’re waiting (a while now…) for Apple approval to get tawkon on the iPhone. So whatever phone you have, click on this download button, and if your phone isn’t yet supported, we’ll let you know when we’re ready for you!
Are you protected? Get tawkon and keep talking!
available at tawkon website & android market

We look forward to your feedback!
Worrying about cell phone radiation is silly.
Just Installed it. Really great interface, but the animations are really slow.
I am running the Cog 2.2 Beta 6 on my captivate.
Let me know if you need more feedback.
Nice app! One question though - it seems that ir disabled the screen lock. Now it doesn't lock when the power button is pressed - just turns off the screen.

Thanks for your feedback. We’re aware of the slow animations running – this performance should be fixed very soon. Regarding further feedback, yeh – actually we’d really appreciate other feedback if you’re willing. We’re running a beta feedback survey with a short online questionnaire to make it easier/faster to share feedback. We’ll be using this input to improve the next Android versions. Please email [email protected] and we’ll send you the link to the questionnaire. Other XDA forum readers also welcome to join our beta feedback program – just email me too Thanks!

Thanks Yes, we’re aware of the screen lock issue and are working to fix that in the upcoming update (that we’ll be announcing on our blog at tawkon.com/blog). In the meantime, we’re running a beta feedback program so if you’re willing to share some more feedback, we’d really appreciate this input from the field that we’ll take into account for the next versions. Just email [email protected] and we’ll send you a link to the quick questionnaire.
I'm trying to run Tawkon on my Captivate. It is the Rogers version SGH-i896, but the app says it's not supported. Can we find a work around?
Is this a joke? It must be.. it has to be.
Thanks you for bringing this to our attention Ender666666! We are working on an update that will support your device. The update should be ready in several weeks. We'll make sure to contact you when it is ready.

tawkon is far from a joke Our technology was created by a team of cellular technology & industry veterans and app developers. Based on sophisticated algorithms that consider multiple dynamic factors from within the device and the changing environment, every device is tested in RF labs to ensure that the information and action prompts we provide are relevant and accurate. You’re welcome to visit our site www.tawkon.com for more information, or zoom straight into the technology page to better understand how tawkon works at www.tawkon.com/technology
So, this app essentially monitors things like signal strength and extrapolates from there?

It is really a silly app.
Just to think, how many radiowaves are going through your body right now
(neighbor microwave, WiFi, Local Radio Stations, Radars, Satellite signal...), so emission from ONE cell won't make big difference.
Otherwise, nice GUI and concept, but no.
Seems like this app does an amazing job of addressing a problem which doesn't exist.

THANK YOU!
Why the hell do people worry about the word 'radiation'?
It probably measures based on the RF amplifier level, cell distance and attenuation of different bands.
But it's pretty useless information and there's no way an app can reduce your exposure other than telling you to wait until you have better signal. Yeah right! Plus, it has no way to account for cell signals from other carriers' towers, microwave repeaters, wifi, high voltage power lines, faulty microwaves, sun spots or alien death rays. Gimmick.

EdyTheMighty: Thanks for your question.
While signal strength is one factor taken into account when measuring radiation levels, the algorithm is a lot more complicated than that. tawkon RRI technology collects and analyzes RF-related data extracted from your phone. Our algorithms consider environmental and personal usage factors to help determine actual radiation exposure levels. Results are calibrated in an independent RF lab to ensure radiation levels are accurately monitored and that actions taken (actions that tawkon recommends in real-time when radiation levels peak) actually helped lower your exposure to radiation.

Your device is currently supported so you can download tawkon (beta) for free and try it for yourself – www.tawkon.com/download

Works pretty well. I can't figure out how it actually works though... or if its accurate. The levels increase whenever I actually use my phone, and diminish when my phone is sleeping. Looks cook though! I did run into the lockscreen issue though...

The Rogers Captivate is hardware identical to the AT&T Captivate, including radios. Unless you are planning to disassemble one in a lab, this model can be supported immediately.
Sent from my Rogers Captivate
it looks like it just shows your radiation as the inverse of your signal strength
not terribly usefull
Hello All!
I want to share an idea with you all.
First off let me tell you about myself so you can get an idea of why I want to do this project.
I am a 24 year old ms patient. I go through things like morning sickness and memory loss just to name a few. Its a terrible disease but unfortunately there isn't much I can do about it. My name is michael. I used to be able to remember everything fine, and this disease is just starting to get to me. Besides the random agonizing pain, I'd have to say the memory loss is quite the most annoying part of the disease. I also have autism and don't recognize faces at all. Essentially in a nut shell my daily social life is not great because of these problems.
Now instead of waiting to die, like most do, I'm going to ask for feedback and suggestions or even help if you want, which I would appreciate ever so much.
I know how to program some and have time. I see a few things that would make my life and hopefully many other peoples lives easier, that suffer from the same problems I have, and maybe some other problems.
I essentially want to hook up a kinect to a hat, have the hat contain the processing equipment, such as a low power x86 board and big ssd for storage. Essentially I want to have another "brain" and "eyes". Now I admit this won't be the prettiest thing but, as long as I can make it work, I won't care. I got inspired and thought, hey! What if I could make a device, that would help me recognize faces, places, objects, and sounds! It could be a assistive device and would help me when my memory gets worse. I know Microsoft released more code for the kinect that would help to program for this stuff too.
I want to get some glasses, like the Google glass ones and have them and my nexus 7 be the interfaces for the information stored in the hat, such as pictures matched with names and other important information I have in there. In a perfect world I would want to be able to do a gesture if I was confused and didn't know who someone was and the device would go to archives and be able to show me whom they are and any information I have about them. I would also like to be able to keep my heart rate in the HUD as well, its important to know when you have ms.
I would also like to utilize object recognition to prevent myself from getting run over again, because it hurts, haha. I would program it to recognize objects outside and perform calculations and warn me if I am "blind walking" again.
I think I could also use this contraption to recognize temperature so I don't burn my mouth while eating or touching something that's too hot. My body just doesn't respond the way its supposed to sometimes.
I think I could also add a accelerometer to it, which would let me know if I were off balance , would save me from falling over and I think could help with my posture as well.
I'm thinking of more things this could help me with but if I had these, I would be the happiest guy on the planet, even with the agonizing pain of ms. I would be able to fight back against the problems I have that put me in more pain, or just plain make me look like I'm stupid. It would help me hold an job for sure. I would explain to my boss a million times, of why I have to wear such a contraption if I had to, doesnt bother me.
If you want to help, please let me know. I'd gladly accept donations as well, as my meds are not cheap, and take most of my income. Ideas are just as welcome too. If you helped me, I promise we'd be friends for life. I just can't go another day knowing I have these ideas and I am not putting them to use. Maybe if I got a prototype I could get a more fashionable device built for the other unsung heroes that have the problems I do. I appreciate your time so much.
Interested but a little hesitation

Well I was searching ideas for my final year project of BS to work with kinect. The idea you gave is very good but the thing is its scope. It is covering a big scope problem while I have to make the project within a year and I don't have much knowledge of working with kinect. But I am interested in implementing this idea. If you will share more briefly, this could be implemented.
my email id is : [email protected]
P.S. Do mention proper subject of the mail i.e. related to kinect project
Thanks
Figure Soccer is a game for everyone who loves challenging levels. Try to place all figures on the playground at the right position within the given time limit so that the ball will reach the goal. You think that´s still a way too easy for you?! Definitely not! You must touch every single figure at least once before it reaches the goal and if time runs out the level will start from the beginning.
If you still think you are able to complete the first ten levels without cheating and much work, try it out by doing it yourself. You will be surprised how such an easy game can make you go crazy within the first levels.
*if you wish to get stuck in more levels, just leave a comment or give the game +1 / the update will be published very soon*
To download the game please search the Game "Toxid Rain". The game is from the same developer (3-60 Mobile GAMES) I´m sorry but I can´t post links. May someone else could do it.
Cool
Tat's nice... Cool
Hi
I have been thinking about how strong a online development team could be therefore this post.
I think it could be a great way to comporate around the world, with different time consuming and knowledge sparepartners.
Developers with
Android
Raspberry
Arduino
IOT
Building knowledge from a project to prototype and finish product
Testing
MCU
PCB
Contacts for manafacturing
I think you know what I am try to say.
I think a networkgroup of 3-6 persons from different countries and ages.
The reason for this are
I know if 1 person should do all the work it would take long time for develop and set in production. This would be a long time consuming work. Before a person get an idea become a true product.
About me
I am a Danish mid-age male. I have a lot of ideas in tecnologies of different kinds.
Access to
3D print
cnc
Laser cutter
and more
A generel WWW knowledge and development in different Environments.
If you thinks this sound interesting - please leave a reply.
So we can make an online working networkgroup and discuss the contents and make a brainstorm together.
If you ever need the audio assets, - I'm at you service
Back in the mid 2000s I was abducted and forced to administer forums and work with Moderators at XDA.

For context... @MikeChannon is 109 years old and he still has a 56k modem, so please, don't post any high resolution picture here or you'll use up his bandwidth for the year.
JK....Mike has been around longer than anyone (he clearly has no friends) and he's been the glue that has held the community together for a decade. As much as we joke, I appereciate Mike's involvement and work over so many years. He is a _true_ OG!

Really!! 56k is a thing now and what... you don't have to dial up.
Wowsie. Not to worry I actually get by very nicely with 28.8 kilobits per second which I find goes about the same speed @svetius speaks.... and sounds very similar actually
