Good Apps for Android Phones?

Just one quick note.. Before you download ANY apps to your phone, make sure it works fine with your model handset. Remember, the Android Market is for all makes & model android based phones & I have see phones become bricks. Some you can recover, others must be swapped out. Besides that you'll be getting FC "force close" errors, meaning the app has crashed or the phone's OS is crashing. Before downloading any apps, read the comments! There you'll see if anyone else has had any issues.

 

How do you copy and paste?
I haven't figured that one out yet...the old phone was easier but sucked in too many ways.

I was thinking about getting the moron test glad to hear it's fun....so I'll be getting that one.

How do you unistall stuff like the ap killer. I'd like to see if my battery will last longer w/o it, as stated in an earlier post.

 

Good to remember...I didn't with the first few but have since looked before leaping so to speak...so I know what's really behind the rankings and the issues with the app/ or the app/phone combo as I've been reading.

 

ComputerJohn:

I see you and I are the only Sprint customers on this topic...anyway I can get the 3reef discount from you for the extra $$ they charge me for having an Evo. ;D

 

Apktor is an app from the market you just have to add repositories found on the internet and you can download them similar to a market.

lol... Not a bad idea. I can get discounts for Sprint customers depending where they work & such. Anywhere from 10% to 30% off your monthly bill.. Let me look at it tomorrow at the office. It used to be super easy to add, but they changed it. I work the service department & not the billing so much. I'll let you know tomorrow.

The author then changed the weather graphics. Still good, but the original was amazing. Well worth the $1.98, plus it come with other tool widgets.

This should keeps you guys & gals busy for awhile..

I'll post more next week. Enjoy!

 

copy and paste is easy to me - all you have to do is hold down your finger for a second and the menu comes up. Might be a sense though (incredible).

Also, gameboid is an awesome app. Let's you play gameboy advance games. There's also an app that takes a gps location and makes your phone silence in a movie theater etc automatically. I forgot the name of it though.

Edit: also, shuffletone 2.0 which can randomized your text sound and/or your ringtone.

 

I found the COOLEST app last night! It's called Lightning Bug. It has various relaxing scenes (day and night) and has relaxing sounds that go along with them. Waves, wind, birds, thunder, rain, etc. It is so fun! You can install the "plug in" and access more scenes that cost 99 cents. I bought the beach and forest scenes as well. Last night I fell asleep to the waves...it was really relaxing!!

You can black out the screen scene to save battery life too, and still have the relaxing sounds going.

It has an alarm clock feature too.

 

Oh yeah, I also have the anipet aquarium live wallpaper which is a pretty cool customizable reef wall.
