Mania Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 bumpin this since i got myself a droid.tell me some of the better apps. so far i've got facebook, the lightsaber app, the police scanner, bump, google skymap, google maps, barcode scanner, a fantasy football app that supports yahoo leagues and a couple others. I'm waiting on an official yahoo fantasy sports app, and a Netflix app and i'll be straight. Advanced Task Killer is a very important app to have. Also App Brain, Key Ring, and Bump are awesome.

Skinz4Life12 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 please explain..... well first of all, using ATK can actually kill your battery faster by using it than not using it. Especially if you have things set to autokill tasks.. secondly, i know there have been people who have had to do a factory reset of their phone because something went awry with their ATK. third, you can kill apps w/out an ATK by just going under settings --> applications. anyways, an ATK may work great for some people and i did thorough research about them when I got my phone and most people advised to stay away from them since you don't really need them and problems could arise from using them.

renaissance Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 bump is nice. also, tikl talk turns your phone into touch to talk device (like a walkie talkie) - just make sure to disable it when you're in meetings or whatever unless you want your friends sending you fart sounds during your big presentation, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaSkinsNut Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Task Killers don't work anymore if you have 2.2 Froyo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinz4Life12 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 when is 2.2 getting released for all droids? i want that **** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peeping Wizard Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 There is a pretty good Drudge Ap to make viewing the Drudge Report quicker. There is a cool backgammon game by Odesys. I also like Pandora and I heart radio. Google Listen is also pretty good for podcasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaSkinsNut Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 when is 2.2 getting released for all droids? i want that **** Depends on your manufacturer. HTC phones with their custom UI's and software seem to be really late/lax with the Android OS Updates. Verizon and Motorola have been very good about them with all their devices. All I can say is Google search "Android 2.2 Froyo + <MyDeviceName>" and see what people on the internet are saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinz4Life12 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 great, i have an HTC incredible. probably won't see it before xmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyholetsgogrant Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 when is 2.2 getting released for all droids? i want that **** I have it right now, nothing spectacular on the first gen moto droid. Adds a faster stock browser (its still slow), two more home screens, install app to SD card function, tethering, wifi hot spot mode, possible better battery life and a faster operating system ( I haven't noticed a difference).

Homercles82 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Android's App market will be even larger soon thanks to the app maker Google is making that allows non-techie people the ability to create applications without needing any knowledge of coding. I cannot find the article for the life of me right now but the gist of it said the BETA software was nowhere near ready for release (obviously) and that when Google can get the kinks ironed out that it will be a boon for the ever growing android app market. I for one am excited about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

openallnight Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Don't see how I survived pre-Droid These are my MUST haves: Google Maps Places Navigation Android Mate - app organizer, task killer, file manager all in one Easy Root - works on the Droid X may not work on all phones for apps requiring root Barnacle Wifi Tether - makes your phone a wifi hotspot w/out the provider fees! AndroidVnc - VNC Client PDANet - USB Tether (I have Sat internet so this lets me connect my desktop via my phone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
openallnight Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I use advanced task killer free. I prefer Android Mate. Has the task killer, File Manager and App Organizer all in one. It's free and no ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Walton Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 when is 2.2 getting released for all droids? i want that **** I have an EVO and my phone notified me that 2.2 was available about 2 weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Walton Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Also both of these apps cost some real $$$ but worth every penny ($29.99) Sling Box and Log me in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

openallnight Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 BTW 2.2 supports tethering and wifi hot spot mode. Actually 2.1 does as well. The problem is Verizon charges 20 bucks extra a month to enable this functionality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tethering on my phone right now (because 2.2 added it), the droid X gets both. Apparently, the first droid does not have capability for wifi hot spot.
