Android App-Widgets Thread.......

Jerry Pease · 07-26-2010, 11:04 AM

Please post apps - widgets you like, can't do with out, a must have, etc.........

( as the thread gets bigger I will list them here)

Jerry Pease · 07-26-2010, 11:08 AM

Some that I really like.......

DropBox (DropBox Inc.) - used for transferring files between any pc or mobile device without connecting the usb cable

Ulisse Gizmo (Binary Toys) - This outstanding utility delivers beautifully rendered tools that include a compass, GPS monitor, bubble level, inclinometer and magnetometer

WiFi Analyzer (Farproc) - This tool detects activity in the Wi-Fi spectrum and displays a real-time channel strength graph, a graph of channel activity over time, a rated listing of channel strength, a list of access points, or a signal strength meter. I recently found this application invaluable when I was setting up a Wi-Fi network

FaceBook - (not the Motorola version)

FoxNews App by FoxNews

Michael Mitten · 07-26-2010, 11:46 AM

Excellent idea!

Apps:

AppBrain - backs up all apps, search app database online, send apps to phone from website.

Keyring - load all reward cards onto phone. Use bar code to scan at register.

Bump™ - makes sharing photos, contacts, and apps with people as simple as bumping your phones together.

ShapeWriter Keyboard.

Michael Mitten · 07-27-2010, 08:08 PM

Swype keyboard.

And PDAnet, since I'm using it now!! My internet went down at home so I tethered my phone to my computer. 3G!! Not quite as fast as 25MPs.

Places Directory by Google - much better than Where or Yelp IMO.

Yes, only the app that sends info on the now 500 million Facebook users.

Not interested in my little pony wallpaper.

I have added a few more apps that I like....

Mashable Anyone who enjoys mashable will find this free app great.

the weather channel - its great for looking at live radar

KeePassDroid - it keeps all my passwords secure ( I use dropbox to keep the data base insync) Great combo

IMDB - I love to have movie info at the tip of my finger

Michael Mitten · 08-04-2010, 11:52 PM

Jerry, do you have AppBrain? If you do, post the link to your apps. See mine in my sig.

I love IMDB on the phone too.

Troy Seufert · 08-06-2010, 06:59 PM

WordFeud

It's Scrabble for Android.

Jerry Pease · 08-06-2010, 10:26 PM

Regulars that I use:

Not an app/widget, but a new launcher:
LauncherPro

Widgets (I use very few)
Android Agenda Widget
Smooth Calendar
Weather Widgets (Free)

Apps
EStrongs suite (File Manager, Security Manager, Task Manager)
OSMonitor
IMDb
Chrome to Phone
xScope Lite (browser)
Wireless Tether (for root)
Titanium Backup (root)

Michael Mitten · 08-07-2010, 04:27 PM

A cool one I just found and is an eye into the future. As the US embraces this kind of pay method, we'll follow others to use our phones for transactions rather than whipping out the credit cards. I know I'm ready for it to be here!

PayPal Mobile

Michael Mitten · 08-08-2010, 09:57 AM

Android Tapp claims to have 90K+ apps

Jay Brown · 08-08-2010, 11:49 AM

Downloaded and installed "Chrome to Phone". This would be a cool feature if the Google Chrome already had this feature built into the browser, rather than installing it.

Jerry Pease · 08-09-2010, 11:50 AM

cjd mentioned in another thread about LauncherPro. I saw a good review today

Looks cool, but I'll stick with Swype. I'm really getting use to it and getting pretty fast if I do say so myself.

Troy Seufert · 08-17-2010, 12:02 AM

And I'm stuck on ShapeWriter....love how it works and don't really see a need to change.

Gotta love all the variety of choices though.

I have played with swype and I have turn on and off several times. Not sure what to make of it. I am actually typing using it right now. I really use voice to text the most.

I installed "SlideIT" last night. Similar to Swype and other keyboard swiping apps. Takes time to get used to but it's pretty accurate when texting.
