[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sixteen2nd:
Thanks for your reply!

I kept the question broad on purpose. I have been using my iPod Touch and my wife's iPhone for years so I could come up with a list of my "Must Have" apps for those. The way I figure it is a smart phone is similar to a computer, but probably doesn't have dozens and dozens of apps installed (or at least not used daily). So I was hoping people would list their 5-10 most used (useful) Android apps.

My co-worker who has been using his Android device for a few years suggested:

- LookOut antivirus (like it so far)

- Android Assistant (dito)

- Launcher Pro (haven't taken the time to customize, so sticking with Sense for now)

- Barcode Scanner

After a little Google'ing I installed the following:

- Facebook App (just because)

- Angry Birds (loved the iOS version)

- arcMedia (seems decent, lots of codec support)

- ASTRO File Manager (UI seems very intuitive)

- Google Music (I got an in invite to the Beta)

- Pandora (use this on my laptop a lot, thought I'd try it on my DINC2)

- ShopSavy (again, loved the iOS version)

- xda
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sk0t:
A few off the top of my head:

Titanium Backup - Requires root, but great for freezing bloat and backing up the device

Root Explorer - Doesn't necessarily require root, but is handy for going through the file system

EverNote - Keeps a LOT of my recipes handy, as well as notes for other things

DropBox - I occasionally need info there, so it's really quite handy for that

Google Reader - For reading my RSS feeds

Skype - Not critical, but handy when I'm without cell signal but have wifi

Titanium Media Sync - Keeps my pics backed up to Dropbox

XDA and DroidForums apps - Well, gotta be able to catch up when mobile

There are others I use, but honestly, I have found the stock apps cover most of what I need nicely. I will say that although I doubt I actually need it, I am playing around with JuiceDefender.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] NCARCER8EM:
Clipper is one that I use a lot. The free version works excellent. It is a quickly accessible clipboard you can access from your status bar for all your log on data and different email signatures. I have to use several different email sigs depending on the level of security required for the recipients.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
Well if all you want is a list of apps that people use regularly...

LauncherPro - Launcher/home replacement (paid version)

Slacker - Streaming music (the latest version blows, though)

Winamp - Better than the stock media player

Waze - Social mapping and realtime traffic

OnTrack - Diabetes oriented health management

eBuddy - Multi-protocol IM client

Arity - Advanced calculator

DriverDiary - Vehicle cost tracking tool (fuel, etc)

File Expert - File browser (I liked this one better than the other common ones)

Package Buddy - Shipping tracking tool (as in shipping packages)

Tweetdeck - Social networking app primarily used for Twitter

I don't do a lot of gaming, but I do some.

Wordfeud

Angry Birds

Live Blackjack
[HTC Inspire 4G] BAleR:
Hello all, Im having some trouble figuring this out. And I need a lil help if someone could. I would like to be able to file share between my computer and my phone, and even stream movies, music to my phone via wifi. I have a dsl modem with wifi built in, its connected to my laptop with a wire. So is there any thing I can do to achieve this? ES File manager has FTP and LAN clients built in, cant I use that somehow to connect to my computer and transfer stuff? Thanks for any help
[HTC Inspire 4G] danielsaenz:
You can always use DoubleTwist with AirSync or Winamp. They are the 2 apps that I know will allow this. Also, try Dropbox.

Sent from my AT&T Inspire 4G.
[HTC Inspire 4G] SuicidemMyk:
plug in the usb.. click disk drive
[HTC Inspire 4G] steevod79:
if you would like to transfer files wirelessly you have to install a media server on your pc.. i use serviio. then you have to find a program from the android store that will see the server on your pc from your phone and transfer files.
[HTC Inspire 4G] BAleR:
ok, i installed serviio and its running, i chose which files to share, now what do I do? do I have to go into network sharing center and give it a name and pass or something like that?

I also have estrong file explorer and file expert which is supposed to connect to servers also.
[HTC Inspire 4G] hyun18:
Well you can just use Dropbox, its an app and also a program for PC...just sign in, and anything you put in it, you can access, whenever, anywhere (by singing into the app of course) .
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wywywywy:
Hi all,

Basically on my P1000, the screen gets woken up whenever it receives a notification. I personally receive a lot of notifications from eBay night and day, so it gets pretty annoying very quickly.

What I would like to know, is that is there a way to prevent screen wake when reviving notifications?

I don't think it has ever done that on my HTC devices, so it must be something to with how Samsung implements it I guess.

I am on Overcome 2.0.0 RC1.

You help would be much appreciated.

Many thanks.

EDIT -

Or better yet, is there any app that would allow me to change the screen wake, sound, vibration, etc of each notification in the system? I googled and also had a look in the market, but couldn't find anything obvious...

Root ur phone and flash custom recovery and then flash Franco kernel...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dislplin01:
Do what he said its a touch screen lag and franco our miks kernel will fix it if you want to see a real performance boost I suggest flashing a good rom and overclock the CPU maybe void, miks cyanogen, metrom ROM or andy gingerbread then use setcpu to over clock it will make a big difference
[Optimus One, P500, V General] jjjkkklll:
omg, i dono what u all talking about man.

what does Root means?

besides that, my phone running low in phone storage. =(

ok,the moment i have time, i will go there and have a look.

btw, i receive a notification about update of firmware.

if i update the firmware, will it clean all my previous files n stuff?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] agzorig:
you've got a lot of reading to do. good luck!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] 4silvertooth:
If don't want custom rom. May be you should update your phone from LG PC suit. Lg people have redduced the touch screen bug. You should take backup of all important things like contacts.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Hanny:
bro, IF YOU WANT GOOD PERFORMANCE AND A BETTER PHONE, YOU MUST TAKE THE TIME TO READ :)

I was a noob before, but reading really improves your knowledge in everything about android, and you will handle flashing your phone at a breeze ;)

of course, xda forum is the best

good luck!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] deadcode00:
yup like yesterday i was a real noob but tday atleast i can comment here :) .. xda forums can make u noob to expert in no time if you read carefully... flashed cyanogen mod 7 with franco kernel... performance is good but disappointed cause of few bugs 'specially the netwrk issue'.. i may switch to devoid ..
[Optimus One, P500, V General] jjjkkklll:
yaya, i get it, due to lately assignment, once i done, i will do it...haha...

really sad with the default performance of the phone. scared to modify the phone. =(
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dislplin01:
Done be scared just be careful and fallow instructions if you don't understand just ask someone will know its not hard once you do it once you will see and out makers the phone much much better
[Optimus One, P500, V General] jjjkkklll:
thx a lot man, i will ^^
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Vip_blast:
To be scared is normal, but trust us, once you try the steps indicated correctly, you will be more than satisfied ;) First Read, then Root, add a Recovery, then get a ROM, then Relax :D (the 5 'R's lol)

Depending on your ROM, you can also flash a kernel and a theme maybe afterwards. :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] voyager20021:
I've noticed lately some lag on answering the phone when it is locked? Dragging the bar to answer to be more precise. Anyone else has this problem? Also some lag on using the pattern unlock style. Some unresponsiveness turning alarm clock off or touching snooze button too.

I have root and void echo rom installed.

Problem solved. It was the SetCPU foult. I used low freq profile for stand by and it was very lazy coming back from that state. So don't use minimum freq on SetCPU profiles or you'll end up not being able to answer your phone.

Maby devs could make it more snappy?

Hi,

I have spent close to 24 hours trying to put BeatMod's ROM on my DHD. and i appreciate zFr3eak taking the time out and helping me. But after using teamviewer when we were trying to Downgrade the DHD we did not get the "#" that is spoken about in this thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905003

I have an unbranded DHD....Purchased from an HTC retailer in India. I have never attempted to install anything on it either. zFr3eak spent close to 4 hours over two days and we were unsuccessful.

Does anyone know what the reason could be ?

Appreciate any help, tips or suggestion on this.
[General Questions and Answers] zFr3eak:
the problem is after we did that lines:

(I think) I have created an extended partition from the Recovery mode, but is there any way I can check to see what size it is so I can confirm I've done it correctly?

I've set it to 1024Mb, but when installing apps I keep getting a warning that I'm out of space, and that can't be right as I had all these apps installing in the internal memory before flashing this new ROM.

Any app management help gratefully received.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] gotbst05:
What is the difference or is it the same phone? I've been pondering this for a while now, but never ask the question.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] SuperDeform:
if i had both i would tell you:D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] gotbst05:
ha ha... two different phones... got it :D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
The difference between the Droid and the Milestone is that the Droid has a slightly higher clock speed (600MHz compared to 550), but the biggest thing is that it has an unlocked bootloader. That enables the use of full custom ROMs, whereas the Milestone is quite limited due to its locked bootloader.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] grot84:
Offcourse milestone is worst as the Droid is already unlocked and 600Mhz instead of 550 in mIlestone
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] daria55:
as said above. droid has other radio and unlocked bootloader.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] magiman7:
Each device requires a different kernel, and each has different options / modules. For "identical" phones, it is surprising how much has to be changed in a rom to port from one to the other.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Ricfil:
Multi touch support

Also i do believe the Droid (stock at least) did not come with multitouch suport, whereas the Milestone does come with it. Apart from that, all as been said.

So I do the complete load and restart of the EURO firmware and everything loads just fine through Odin, but the phone will not stop shutting off within 3-5 mintues, every time.....So I attempted to do a recovery reboot and data wipe, that way to get it started fresh and I get the notification that's in the 2nd picture.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkPal:
Can you take out the SIM card put it back in any other working phone say the Galaxy S and make sure its working? I can only suspect your sim card got fried since the tablet was working as a phone for 2 days. If there is any error in the modem or firmware it shouldn't work at all to begin with. Also if your line got blacklisted by your operator for one reason or the other (it happens) the sim will not work anywhere.

Your carrier probably removed your voice plan. A tablet is not a phone. The US carriers are greedy and want you to have 2 seperate devices.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmcollins001:
If you want to use your tab as a phone, you may want to try downloading the google voice app and the groove ip app. I know this works for me with the Sprint Galaxy Tab and it uses voip so you don't have to have minutes or a calling plan. Been using it for a week now and the only issue is the groove ip app sometimes needs to be restarted so I get "registered" again. Works well on both 3G and wifi.
