About Metaloid Field Detector
Uses the built in magnetometer to show the magnetic field near the Android phone or tablet. Three metering speeds: Fast, Medium, Slow plus Zero offsets, two scales.
Use as a metal detector: pass the Android over a ferrous metal object and observe the needle behaviour.
For example, to test the app, hold your phone near a loudspeaker. Some metals, like Aluminium and Stainless Steel, are not magnetic.
The accuracy of the meter is determined by phone hardware.
FAQ:
Q: What do the speeds mean?
A: Fast, medium, slow refer to how quickly the meter needle moves in response to a change in the magnetic field.
Q: What is "zeroed"?
A: Zeroed and unzeroed are for looking at the difference between the value when the button was pressed and now ... For example, if you are in unzeroed mode, and the meter reads 50, then you press the button the meter will now read zero, effectively subtracting 50 from the reading.
Q: What are "coarse" and "fine"?
A: Coarse and fine refer to the meter scale ... One reads from zero to 50 microTesla, the other to 500 microTesla. The Earth's magnetic field is around 30 microTesla.

Congrats, you're all a bunch of Douches. Did anyone email the dev or you all just wanted to publicly bash a FREE apk? Why don't you just get iPhones..

It works nicely, but when I check to see what's discharging my battery, metalloid takes a big bite even when not run once! Moto Droid 2.1. Uninstalled

Overnight metaloid ran battery from 100% down to 17%. Battery warning popup said metaloid was responsible for 80% of that even though metaloid was off

Sucks the battery even when not running, very irresponsible to leave an app like this in the catalog. Flagged as harmful.

Works well on the Captivate. Impressively accurate readings on and around magnetic objects and fields. Great job.
