The point of this thread is to see what users like the most, so people (the ones who make your phone) can decide what is trendy right now. If they know what is trendy, they can spend a bit more time on improving something that is currently in demand, and less time on the less desirable features. They can also look at the smallest probabilities and see why people do not like that feature. Maybe then, they would understand why people don't use the feature. Then they can make decisions on not what is most beneficial to improve, but on what NEEDS improvement. Keep in mind that time is always moving forward so distributing equal attention and work on all features is probably uneconomical. Of course, this is only a personal experiment. Sorry, people.

I didn't ask what makes a smart phone essential (as in necessary). I asked, what is the feature that is most essential (ahem... useful and most addicting) to you.

Ya know, I am fairly certain that I use PIM more than Communication. If a smart-phone specializes in every feature such as awesome communication capabilities, awesome recording capabilities, and awesome multimedia capability, but fails to implement useful PIM management buttons/software/capabilities, then I would look for another phone. But if it only had an awesome PIM implementation than I wouldn't buy it because a smart-phone is an all-in-one device. So your point is invalid to me, and would make sense on a topic talking about how useless every other feature--except communication--is.

Please, reconsider the fact that I said smart-phone. I said nothing about travel phones, basic phones, business phones, or multimedia/music phones, or camera phones. I mean okay, maybe there is a phone that you like and think that is a perfect 10 for each category. But considering that all features are really good, I WILL still ask you what do you like the most about it? It's so simple, that I am don't know why you have to deviate from the purpose of this poll.

Otherwise, you are saying that your preference on a phone is perfectly and equally distributed. That would mean you love PIM 16%, Communication 16%, Travel and Assistant 16%, Multimedia 16%, Camera & Recorder 16%, and Productivity 16%. This is impossible in the real world.

So my topic absolutely makes sense. I think YOU are missing the point.

Please vote people. Thanks.

Hi all, i al looking for thé msn messenger cab file To install it in MY nexus one. Does. it exist
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pjcforpres:
For Android, a .cab is actually a .apk file. Open up market and take a look and spin eBuddy, HI MSN Beta, Meebo, or MSN Droid.

There is not a preloaded app for this.

Has anyone tried the mapking r12 on Leo?

I tried the mapking r12 on my Hd2 and there is no sound.

Any idea from anyone how to bring the sound back?

Thanks in advance
[HD2 General] leslie lee:
found the answer

FYI of those that may encounter the similar situation I had just found the answer.

I went to the Sounds and Notification under Settings and tick Enable Sounds for Programs

In the case of tomtom I do not need to do the above to have the sound
[Android Apps and Games] plugged_in_now:
How did you try and uninstall it? Was it through Settings-> Applications, etc, or was it with an unistalling app?
[Android Apps and Games] plugged_in_now:
Hmmm, well I would try to install it again, and install an uninstaller called Apex, just search for that, its the first one to come up. If Apex doesn't work, and if another regular uninstall through settings doesn't work, then I would leave it, or wipe your phone again if it bothers you too much to have it.

Remember you can just turn Handcent notifications off and turn on the default notifications, set all the messaging to the default messenger and you'll never even know it was there. But I would try to reinstall then uninstall with both of those methods. Let us know how it goes.
[Android Apps and Games] plugged_in_now:
Well, I'm unfamiliar with the inner workings of Xdandroid and why it wouldn't be uninstalling the apps you don't want, but I'm very familiar with Handcent. So to turn of the notifications, open Handcent and on the screen with all of your conversations press the wrench in the top right. Then go down to Notifications and uncheck the "Display message notifications in status bar" This will stop you from getting double notifications. If you wanted to use Handcent and turn off the notifications in the default, open the default with the conversations listed, go to menu, then settings, and the same thing - uncheck the notifications button.

Perhaps after you uninstall the apps, there is something on your SD card that could be making it still be there. Maybe uninstall the app then mount your SD and do a computer search over your sd for anything dealing with Handcent, or whatever app and delete it. I'm sorry I can't be of more help, hopefully someone else using Xdandroid can give some insight.
[Nexus One General] XfrostX:
Hey guys, first time android user, and been using my nexus for a couple weeks now..

Just wondering what are the best apps to have? I use the stocks app, ebuddy and Advanced Task manager..

Also, where do i get live wallpapers?

*please don't recommend stock apps :p*

Thanks
[Nexus One General] iVisionX01:
Search "Live Wallpapers" in the market to get more.

Recommended Apps:

Seesmic/Twidroid/TweetCaster

Places

Beautiful Widgets

Weather Widget - Donate

Taskiller

Astro

Wordmate

Audio Manager

AK Notepad

Amazon

Barcode Scanner

Movies (by Flixter)

Pandora

Radiant
[Nexus One General] SBS_:
This is my first android phone as well, but I've managed to find a couple of apps that I think are pretty good:

Spotify (need premium spotify account)

Dolphin Browser (even after the OTA)

Handcent SMS

RealCalc

Documents To Go (paid)

Linda Manager

Doggcatcher (paid)

Compass

Xe Currency converter

GPS status

Fluid Level

Unit Converter

Battery Indicator

OurGroceries

Weather Forecast

The easiest is to just spend a little time browsing the market and test out apps. If you have access to paid apps there are prolly some good ones there as well (I'm not in the right country and don't have it rooted).
[Nexus One General] StOTTO:
Astrid (To Do List)

Weather Channel (weather from anywhere)

SportsTap (sports updates for most sporting events)

Advanced Task Killer (closes all programs and opens up available memory)

ASTRO (control the flow of files on your SD card)

Documents to Go free (open Word, PowerPoint, etc)

Pandora (music radio)

ShopSavvy (great shopping app)

Mobile Defense (low jack for your phone)

CarSafety (just in case while your driving...)
[Nexus One General] bofslime:
While it seems to be up for debate...

The BAD

Task Killers are unnecessary, the phone is not running windows, and it does not require 70% free ram in order to operate smoothly. Your apps will all be running again not long after you kill them so there's little point. The phone operates perfectly with 20-30mb free mem (even less) Android's mem management automatically ends app's as memory is needed, so 3rd party app's to kill are only for those OCD about their running apps. Btw, I currently have 109 hours of uptime, and I never kill apps (unless something specific gets out of line). The performance of my N1 is smooth and speedy all the time.

(Try "Quick System Info" if you're still curious, it will still let you end an app manually if its misbehaving. )

Battery monitors, widgets, etc are well known to drain battery.

The GOOD

ASTRO - best file manager I've used.

Seesmic - The best twitter app I've found, switched from twidroid as seesmic shows RT and @user public conversations. Supports multiple profiles, and is very fast and lightweight. The best part is, its FREE, and no ad's!

Shazam - Tells you what song you're listening to.

Radiant - one of the best games on android market - and looks fantastic on the N1's screen. Try also "Totemo" if you're into puzzles.

Noodles free - to do list: I like this as a fast and easy shopping list/to do list. I've used a number out there and this is one of the cleanest.

SMS Popup - popup display of your sms that is configurable so it doesn't interrupt or get in your way while you're using the phone.

Phonalyzr - call stats, most frequent called, call length. Can track your billing cycle to aid you if you're able to get away with a cheaper plan.

Ringdroid - One of the best apps on the market, Easy way to clip your mp3 tracks into ring tones, anywhere and any length you choose.

Sidenote:

All the Google apps are pretty solid.

The included gene widget weather app is extremely light weight, yet also provides great detail, stay away from weatherbug. I've tried both weather widget (Paid and own) and beautiful widget (paid and refunded) and found them both to be a little bloated, and/or take up too much screen real-estate. (I know BW has a 1x4 option, but I still found it to be laggy graphically)
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
I agree completely with what bofslime said regarding task killers... I've got over 180 hours of uptime without any performance slowdown whatsoever.

I also second Astro file manager, Shazam, Ringdroid, and Noodles free (definitely the cleanest to-do list out there). I'll also add Pandora, Movies by Flixster, and Yelp if you're going out a lot and need to improvise plans. ;)
[Nexus One General] iVisionX01:
Agreed, Linux handles memory different than windows which people are so used to. I only use my task manager (taskiller) when an apparently starts acting up.
[Nexus One General] <blank>:
Maker of Noodles Free here :D

Craigsnotification - Notifies you of new posts on craigslist of any item you want and it allows you to set a price range. This app has saved me SOOOO much money

cVolume - Volume manager since android method of managing volume sucks ass..especially when youre in class and you think the volumes all the way down because you held the volume button all the way down then you go play a game and its on full blast because you didnt turn down the media volume only the ringer

Easymoney - perfect for managing bills, bank accounts, and all your money

Findmyphone - helps you find your lost phone by emailing you its coordinates (haven't had to use this yet"

Movies by Flixter - best for movie times

N1 Torch - turns your nexus one into a flash light with its led flash (really bright!)

Shazam - when youre listening to a song on the radio, or at store and you want to know what its called, just open up the app and your phone will analyze the song and tell you who its by and who sings it

Shopsavy - great barcode scanner (also saved me a ton of money)

Taskos - a task switcher/killer that implements the palm pres card ui to switch and end applications..just hold the search buttton to switch apps..android already shows you the last 6 apps open by holding the home button but this is nice too :)

Games

Raging Thunder 2 - This game has the best graphics out of any game on android. It is a full 3d racing game with tons of tracks and cars. It has online multiplayer mode so you can race your friends, or random people all over the world even people with iphones. Best game ever

[Nexus One General] existonz09:
i live near Nepal (near China) and just got my hands on my Nexus one.. i was wondering how i can download apps from the androidlib website from my computer... i do not have data connection on my Nexus one YET but i did try using GPRS data connection yesterday and the phone ate up all my prepaid balance on my fone while downloading the new multitouch update in the background TWICE !! i am still wondering how to stop all unwanted data connection running on the background (i have all sync off in settings) because i dont have unlimited data transfer .. i am thinkin of getting a wi-fi router soon.. LOL... in the Androidlib website there is no DOWNLOAD link except for the QR image even after registering for an account.. and my N1 dont come with a pre installed barcode scanner.. so what are my options ? can someone send me .apk files for the Free Advanced task manager and Home++ .. i need these 2 applications badly at the moment.. And finally is anyone experiencing any battery weakness after the OTA update ?
[Nexus One General] teddy_ballgame3:
after having continued MMS issues i finally set my nexus one up correctly to send and receive MMS. then i updated to cyanogen's latest ROM and i was back at phase one. i set up my APN settings again and now all the pictures i receive are very blurry. i searched around a bit and tried a few different APN settings and the problem persists. i thought i saw a thread on here with a discussion about proper APN settings but i can't locate it. i even used the list provided on t-mobile.com but it didnt make a difference. Whenever i search i get zero results on XDA and google's support forum didnt yield any results.

if anyone could help or point me in the direction to fix these blurry MMS id appreciate it.

oh, and im currently using T-mobile US and on Cyanogen's latest beta rom.

i have a sprint hero running on boost mobile cdma, which doesnt use visual voicemail, how can i remove visual voicemail? and is there a way to have a regular voicemail type notification?

im using fresh 1.1

and i tried uninstalling the com.corebobility.app.vnotes but there isnt the option. only clear data and force stop.

any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
You'll have to remove it from a shell or command prompt in Windows.

I can give you the steps to remove it, but you really shouldn't. It'll cause your phone to force close like crazy, believe me, I've tried.

If you want to try it anyways; here you go:

**DO A NANDROID BACKUP FIRST!**

1. Open command prompt (Start - Run menu - cmd - ok)
2. Change your directory to your Android SDK tools folder (Example: c:\androidsdk\tools)
3. adb remount
4. adb shell
5. rm com.coremobility.app.vnotes
6. exit
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] 27s:
You could always flash the AOSP 1.6 or the 2.1 rom if you want sense. Neither include Visual Voicemail.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilkro:
I've installed maps from both the market, and the thread in XDA dev, but although the app says it's 3.4.0, I'm not able to multitouch.

I'm on CM 4.2.14.1 with the 10meg hack.

Also, the main application I use (GeoBeagle) is now crashing with the new map. I'm wondering what I can do to make sure I've got everything installed correctly, or how to revert back to a previous version where I can at least still go geocaching.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macrophage001:
You can either rm by going into the Terminal emulator and typing this in:

$ su
# mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# cd /system/app
# rm Maps.apk
# mount -o r,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

This will remove the modified version.

afterwards go into the Market and download the newest un modified maps application.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilkro:
thanks, yeah, i did that... however, when I go to market, it says that Google Maps is "installed" even though the options for "open" and "uninstall" are greyed out.

I am indeed in a pickle.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macrophage001:
Try rebooting.

if you can download the maps from the market then hoorah

if not:

Then try to flash the modded maps back in.

if it still doesnt work after you flash it and try it again, go on the market and you should be able to download the original maps 3.4.0.

otherwise the last resort would be to wipe and re flash the rom.

sorry if this causes any inconveniences.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilkro:
Yeah, I did get the 3.4.0 from Market working again, but it still does NOT perform multitouch. Is this only available in the moded version on G1?

*edit* I did get multitouch working by installing the update from market first, and then adding the modded version afterwards. Geobeagle is still crashing, however.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macrophage001:
Happy to hear it.

and yeah ive been seeing some posts where people have been saying that somethings have been crashing.

but it should work out fine. and maybe the dev of this app will make a modded ver that wont crash GeoBeagle
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MLonon:
Lucky you, how about me?

I ahve the same setup and got the same result. Which map version did you flash? What method did you use?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilkro:
I used option 2 from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=627582

Okay, so now I'm wondering if i've destroyed whatever file lets applications access the maps program, because none of the geocaching apps work when I try to show the map. I had done some wildcard deletions in my desperation in trying to fix the maps.

Can anyone point me towards what I can do to fix that? As in what files might need replacing? I've already re-flashed CM 4.2.12.1, but that didn't repair any associations afaict.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macrophage001:
Depends on what you deleted.

2 Options.

1.Find out exactly what you deleted and maybe we will be able to help you out.

2.Full Wipe and Re-Flash

These are the only options I see at least.
