About TpSol - your solar time APK
Table Of Contents
Description
The main function of TpSol is to give the solar time according to the legal time and the GPS location, but TpSol makes much more:- It supplies the equation of time and the solar declination
- It indicates the azimuth and the altitude of the Sun
- It draws the shadow of the Sun on a sundial
The sundial can be drawn according to the orientation of the smartphone or the tablet. In this case, TpSol uses a magnetic sensor that it is necessary to calibrate in this way:
- Be sure that no metallic object or magnet is in the surrounding of the device (think to the magnetic lock of the smartphone protection)
- Activate the dynamic drawing of the sundial (button 'Auto' of the group 'Towards')
- Turn slowly the smartphone or the tablet on the three axes: 2 to 3 revolutions during about 10 seconds per axis.
The calibration is finish. The parameters of the sundial orientation (inclination and declination), which are computed and supplied by TpSol from the magnetic sensor, are then less erratic and more accurate. However, the accuracy is not better than some degrees.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
