Must Have Android Apps and Games?

Does anyone use the last.fm app? I can't seem to find it on the android market

And if anyone does use it, how much data per hour or whatever does it use?

Thanks

I got it using a UK sim. Its free.

Data usage is pretty decent.

Didnt want to start a new thread for an app so thought I'd throw it here

Foursquare

Good few of my mates use this and it can be useful but mostly just a habit of fun. You essentially check in to locations so friends can see where you are.

I was wondering does anyone use it?

I've no idea how to about setting my current location specifically, for something not recognised in their database. My job for example, isnt an option to select, so wondering is there a way to manually insert new locations( there has to be)

Just cant find a way to do it

Seems like you'llsee this lsited with Pandora with pretty much every top 10 android app list.

I know Pandora is no longer available, but I can not find last.fm on the market, and their website seems to only offer a desktop download.

Also anyone with experience in its data usage, would be tremendous

I've been using it for a few days now.
No idea how much data its using. I've been scrobbling haven't been streaming yet. I'll run a test for you now and let you know.

did you get it from the market

Nope. Downloaded it directly on the phone.
File was called....
fm.last.android.1.5.5.apk
came from a site called csmarshal.com iirc

Having a problem streaming over 3G here in work, reception is sh*t at my desk at times. Working perfectly over wifi. I'll try the 3G again in a few mins.

OK, so 7 mins of streaming via 3G used up just under 3mb.
Thats a lot!

I ran up something similar.

Grand job if I'm somewhere with free wifi, but wont be using it on 3g thats for sure, especially on my data pln : /

Handcent seems to have disappeared from the market today (posts all over the place about it). Anyone have a direct link?

Also, love that gmote app.. now I can hook the laptop to the telly and control the playback from the other side of the room

I know there's no VLC player yet, but anything that would play most of the common video formats in the interim?

There is a program called yxflash but it's pretty buggy and can stutter from time to time.

Coreplayer (VLC for phones) is being worked on but as of yet it's unreleased.

Gmote also streams your music to your phone over wi-fi (although this is still beta)

Handcent I stopped using

It wouldnt allow me create a new message, as in select a contact so I had to go back to htc messaging

Weird..

My Handcent went loopy after i installed 2.2 so i stopped using it and went back to the stock SMS app. I installed an update for Handcent a couple of days ago and it's fine now. I've had 2 more updates since,including one a few minutes ago.

My most recent ego boost, i thought my head would explode.

"Hey man, you got an iphone?"

"Yeah, whats that?"

It the new HTC desire".

"What can it do?" (Condescending tone)

Start gmote, turn on laptop..... wait for reaction.

"Holy ****!!!....ugh... how????? OMG!!!"

Go cry little apple kid.

I got the HTC desire a few days ago.
It is a great phone and i am well impressed with it.
I had the iphone for 2 years with the appstore, installous/app tracker/appcake. So i had access to any app i wanted for free.

I have to say i am let down big time with the android app store.
The top games are solitaire, connect 4 etc.

I know the iphone apps have had a good few years head start on the android one and we dont have access to the paid apps. I just feel massively let down by the choice of games.

Give it time.


Im going to get the new iphone when its out, ill use my dads upgrade to get it on the cheap.

Then ill decide which one i will keep.

I can see myself keeping the android as it has more to give than the iphone. So much potential that i hope wont be wasted.

I agree completely, it has so much potential. Plus i hear that there are more apps getting submitted to the the android app store than the apple one.

Just felt let down when i opened up the android app store.

I played alot of games on my iphone. 70% were useless but 30% were gold. Seems like 99% of the games on the android market are useless.

I took a peak at the Paid games on the net and it dose not look much better.

Time will definitely bring quality games to android. I just miss angy birds, peggle, doodle jump, gta etc..

You install a server on your pc and Gmote on your Android device. When they hook up, you can use the device to control the mouse and use the keyboard. You can also browse and control music on your PC.

Brilliant app

Brill!!

Had the logitech version on my ipod so this sounds the same, tis a brilliant little thing

installing that minute i get home.

Anyone come across a VLC remote for android?

I can play music through the phone.

Can anyone get videos to stream to the phone?

gmote +1

i succumb to the hype here, it's a sweet little app. . .oh how it will aid my laziness

johnp wrote: »

How do you do that?
I can only use it as a remote to play music on the PC?

In the file explorer part there should be a box for On Phone at the top

The gmote app is savage!

Typed this on phone to laptop. Seems very smooth.

Nice one.

Cant get gmote setup, wont connect to my pcs gmote thingy.

Very annoying as ive tried all possible fixes...o well : /
