Must Have Android Apps and Games?

youcancallmeal · 06-05-2010 10:40pm

I found a little app called "Call Confirm" which makes you confirm if you want to make a call. I've had a few incidents already where I have accidentally initiated calls so this comes in handy.
Thread on the app over here at XDA

This reminds me of Drunkblocker.
You select the numbers you dont want to call and the time period(say from when you start drinking until midday the next day) and once its on you have to solve math problems if you want to call them(and at the right difficulty setting these can even be a whore sober)

EStrongs file explorer

Great app for managing and accessing folders on your PC and phone

Installing the Nexus launcher on the stock rom made my phone very very unstable and sluggish. If you want it to run like the Nexus One just install cyanogenmod

Yea I skipped the nexus one launcher myself, i personally think the HTC Sence is much better looking anyway, the voice to text link works brilliant tho, and the nexus gallery app is really cool looking.

"Princess leah money speech to text to voice cessna 202 "

What I was trying to say was
I'm testing out my new speech to text function and it doesn't work too good!

I don't have much of an accent, isit for Americans only?

lord lucan · 07-05-2010 10:04pm

I find with the speech to text that you have to speak slow and deliberate for it to work. Makes you look a tit in public so i never use it when i'm out but i use it at home a bit and it works fine.

I'd say over the next year or so we're going to see any and all pretense of respecting user privacy go out the window.

Anyway, Dolphin HD browser is now out and looking pretty cool. Check it. Very smooth and flash on my Desire.

That is slick. Sites look about twice as good as they do on my laptop.

Just played the Wings of Steel demo, pretty impressive. Controls are actually reasonably good because the planes fly quite slowly.

Also I'll be trying this out later tonight - http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/wii-controller-demo-gets-active-android-and-wiimote-handle-donk/

Shows 15 recently opened Apps rather than the normal 6.
I haven't tried this yet but seems like a good idea

Got my UK sim today and im looking at the paid apps, when i seen doodle jump i was very excited, but the price of it is unreal and the comments turned me away from buying it (No tilt controle.

)

Anyone suggest some of the new updated apps or games that are worth the money.?

Professey Chin · 19-05-2010 10:44pm

I love Blow Up
Theres a light version with 10 levels I think but the full has about 65 or somethin.
Theres also iDemolished which is based around the same thing

Don't know if it's been mentioned.

EStrongs File Manager - Connect to shares on your LAN to transfer files, FTP shares or Bluetooth devices.
And it's a pretty decent file manager too.

for some reason it is running really slow for me, i just want to try out different ones and see which one i like best.

Brian · 22-05-2010 12:07am

Do you have GPS and 3G enabled? How about the wifi location setting too?

mkennedy · 22-05-2010 1:36am

I've got Copilot installed but anyone know any good basic map app for Android (something like the old mapopolis say).

With Copilot (much like Tomtom) they always seem geared to merely getting you to a destination which of course is great but i like to easily browse the map as well (which always seems a secondary concern on these apps).

I know there's google maps but i'm not mad about the way it does POI's and you can't really use it if you find youself offline.
Any ideas?

Really wish this blocked texts, as they're usually the way I make an idiot of myself. Anyone know off an app that does??

There is an app called next dart or somethin like that.
Whats iCopter?

Wats_in_a_name · 22-05-2010 11:54am

Sounds good. I only just got an iPhone and now I want a desire!

icopter is a game and it looks like throttlecopter does the trick.

Just started messing with AndNav2 now. Not managed to get the navigation working yet, but you can select from various different renderings of the OpenStreetMap data as well as the Google Maps/ Satellite and Terrain maps as well.

+1 for Locale, I find it excellent. You don't specifically need to use it with GPS, it will work off the cell towers too.

One handy use for this (I found), in order to stop the missus constantly ringing me to see did I make it to work ok (its an hours drive over crappy roads) I setup locale to send an automatic SMS when I arrive in range of the mobile tower closest to the office

Yea, Locale is def worth the $10. You can set it up once for a given situation, and then not worry about having to change settings. Before I got it, anytime i out silent on in work, I always forgot to switch it back, and ended up missing loads of calls in the evening.

Now, no worries.

Also love that I can set it so that if its turned face down any time between 11pm and 9am it won't ring or vibrate. Brilliant!

Google Translate was just updated. Text messages can now be translated aswell.

I love all these little updates constantly flowing in.

Just looking at the sky map app, google earth and street view of google maps on youtube and the way they work with the orientation thing (g sensor?) is incredible.
Is street view available anywhere in ireland.

Abelloid · 23-05-2010 9:08pm

Not yet... I was caught twice in March '09, not sure how much longer we'll have to wait though.

Yeah the "orientation thing"

that i mentioned

No, for some reason i had it stuck in my head that the whole positioning/velocity sense of these devices was governed by one instrument (serving as both compass and accelerometer).
