Database Info

So I have 199 apps installed...

What should #200 be?
Come on people, flood me with suggestions! First one to guess an app I don't already have (and is halfway useful), gets a prize!
EDIT: So I've been suggested 3 apps that I don't have and are currently determining whether or not either of the three could be my 200th app.
They are:
Hockey Nations
Bar Tender
FeedR

Tunewiki ^^
i have 229 now...still 133 MB left on phone internals ^^

Tried it... but with all the other music apps I have installed, I didn't need it so I uninstalled it.
I try to only keep apps that I would open at least once a week.

Remember the Milk / Astrid (doing RTM for free)
mobile package tracker
Dropbox
FeedR
Hockey Nations
iTag
SongDNA Search

Google I/O

Slacker Radio

Personal Assistant Pro. If you don't have it, you should.

Remember the Milk / Astrid (doing RTM for free) Had Astrid installed, but I'm too lazy to keep stuff in it. The only "list/task" app I use is Our Groceries, which actually gets forgotten about more than it's used.
mobile package tracker Don't order packages enough...
Dropbox Already have it.
FeedR Gonna give this one a shot, as NewsRob is awesome but way too expensive for a simple news reader.
Hockey Nations Not a hockey fan, but the graphics of this app looks pretty intense... gonna give it a try too.
iTag I usually edit all the tags on the computer before offloading to the phone... but I could see where this would be useful.
SongDNA Search Couldn't find this app...

Already bought it, but hate the ugly UI so I uninstalled it...

FeedR is the best...syncs with google reader and has free configurable widgets
AK Notepad
Bump
ICE
Tapatalk
Tux Rider
Winds of Steel

FeedR is the best...syncs with google reader and has free configurable widgets
AK Notepad If it had Google docs sync support, I'd use it over Gdocs... but that only means replacing an already installed app.
Bump May try this once my wife gets her fender mytouch, but until then it's useless to me.
ICE for the sake of jinxing me, I'm not going to comment on this one... lol
Tapatalk I actually find using one of the many amazing browsers faster and more enjoyable than using Tapatalk or the XDA app...
Tux Rider Gonna try this one out...
Winds of Steel Is it better than Armageddon Squadron?

BarTender
Gesture Search AND Gesture Bar

Mint Personal banking

[REQUEST] [APP] Looking for "TV Forecast" like app

I've been looking for a LONG time for an android app like this. Anyone have any idea where I might be able to find one.
This is a pic from the iphone app which basically shows when the next new show airs on only specific shows you enter in the app.. nothing else is there like on the TV guide app where you browse channel/time..
Thanks for all your help.

I'm looking for something smiliar... Would be awesome if someone could create an app that works a bit like http://www.pogdesign.co.uk/cat/
Of course I could always load up the website, but would be better to have it as an app. If someone has the time and skills to do a proper app with a good UI I'd definately donate a beer or two.

tvguide.com has an app on the marketplace. There's also tvlisting from jersey productions.

I tried those apps and they arent really what I'm looking for, for anyone who has had an iphone and used "Tv forecast" you will know what I mean..
Instead of sifting through channels 1-900ish trying to find the right show you input it into the program and it comes back with the next NEW showing.. nothing more, no bloating of other random channels you dont care about.
I'm just looking for a similar android app, that would make my iphone -> n1 transition really complete!

the tvguide.com one allows you to put in favorites and it shows you the next showings.
Shoot an email to the dev of TV Forecast, maybe they'll port it.

You've got to try TV Junkie, it's for US TV shows (a.k.a when they're available for download)

yup, only basic functionality and a few bugs (beta). But still very useful

Great suggestion, missing some features from tv forecast but the best I've seen yet.
Thanks

Okay, this is bad a**! I always forget when shows I like will be on. Thanks for the heads up on it.

try TV Show Favs from the market, there is a free ad supported version with 14day premium trial inside.
this app in my experience blows tv forecast out of the water, and is so good i opted to pay for the premium version. even though all the features you want and need are free!

Check this App out. Works perfekt for me. SeriesGuide:

google reader . Which is the best

I have tried so many google reader apps. But could not find one thats really good
In iphone i have newsrack - Very good one and has nice preview of images with each icon.
Feedsquare is one with similar fns but sync is terrible
Any suggestions.

I like greader. It reminds me of the mobile site, and is very easy to navigate.

Did you tried Newsrob?

I used to use Newsrob, but now I've switched to using the Reader mobile site - it's great. No good for you if you need offline reading of course, but it gets my vote

I think they all SUCK. I don't have a lot in my list, perhaps 12 sources, half of them news, other tech stuff. And syncing in every Greader app I've found takes forever, often either downloading some X number of total articles and skipping ALL the rest (wtf??) or downloading thousands of articles. Hello, X number of new articles?
So I just read in the default browser, it works great, but obviously it's not offline... Don't try it in Opera, it renders horribly.

Using the Greader site, works ok.
But since I'm using Feedly (Firefox extension) on my laptop I'm really looking forward to their Android app that should be released shortly.

NewsRob works for me.

Newsrob does not give a thumbnail in the list view.
This i find very useful.
See the attached image to see what i mean

Shortcut to the mobile page for me.

gReader is the best in my opinion, tried most everything.

I don't like gReader, it's too damn iPhony. This is Android, no clue why the dev follows Apple's GUI guidelines here lol
Anyway, my vote goes to FeedR, slick and fast. Although if I haven't purchased it, then I would just use the mobile site.
Looking forward to an official app from Google.

Yup, another vote for the mobile site here.
The big problem for me with the Android apps is that they only do the feeds and not the shares from friends (e.g. shares from Google Buzz).

have u all try feedR? i think it's the best from all google reader apps i've tried

Maybe because Android doesn't have a good GUI guideline? Have you noticed how inconsistent Android apps are?

There is a good ui guidline for Android. There is one also for icons, widgets, and what not. Check out the Android Dev site. It doesn't have to be very detailed and covers everything, but it sure preserves the Android style and atmosphere which is NOTHING like gReader.

Did you guys try the mobile site optimized for the iPhone?
http://www.google.com/reader/i/
I find it displays the feeds fast and big enough to comfortably read without zooming in.

What are your show off apps??

Your Apps that you would show people that are interested in your phone..
I just got mine and have a good amount so far and always looking for more..
Here are mine so far.......
Floating images..
I love the way it lays the pictures as if they were scattered on a coffee table, and as it "floats" by you can click a picture to see it bigger..
Totally cool
Instant Heartrate
Just like it says, it accurately (The few times I checked) checks your heart rate by "lightly" putting your finger on the camera lens.. It was accurate each and every time I compared it to my real HB monitor.
Barcode Scanner/google shopper
Both do about the same thing, only google shopper will scan image as well as bar code, kinda cool.
Those are some of the many I have tried, but I am sure there are more.
So what are your go to apps to show off with?

The "Pure" widgets. Especially to iPhone owners.

I just show off my phone haha. I don't have many apps, I'm not an app person, I have more keyboards download installed than market apps.

I like to show off with Slingplayer. Watching live Tv and controlling my DVR who can resist. Then Droidlive for my Howard Stern Bootleg streams hehe. And Speedtest to show how fast 4g is to 3g

30 bucks for the slingplayer app huh? Still cool though!

I usually end up pulling out my ipod touch to show wicked apps/games.
I get "cant you do that stuff with your EVO?"
My answer is, was and continues to be... "uhm... no"
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

Can your iPhone/iPod do this?....open up MusicJunk3 and start downloading mp3's for free, then open up gmob and download some pirated apps, browse a few YouTube pages all at the same time....they're like, oh wow FLASH! Also go into recovery and flash a font on a whim, then a theme, flash it all back to normal again...can your iPhone do that? Um well no...ok then. Hey what movie should I download for you, I have a torrent client and I dont need to worry about data caps...Iron Man 2? Ok good call! Well watch it on my EVO since it has a bigger brighter screen. Video games? I have a few, but lets grab a 12 pack and go to my place and play some Halo Reach on my 53'' screen.
I was showing off my EVO to my dad, Google nav in satellite view and the sky maps and he was pretty impressed, but he's not as much of a phone geek as I am. My mama is too attached to Blackberry to care lol

Hey, hows the slingbox work on 3g? Of course using SD, but does it work "ok" for the most part?

well its not out just yet but if your savy enough you'll find a way to get it
vlingo. it takes speach recognition to an entirely new level
put it in car mode and it waits for you to say the catch phrase its waiting for then
it pops on and awaits your command, call, text, nav, search
blows me away at how accurate it is
this is what we all thought speach rec software was going to be, cant wait till its finished
for me currently, when in bluetooth mode, if i turn bluetooth device off before
killing bt on my evo it will force a restart

[Q] Is there a Zune controller?? Like the iTunes controller?

Hello again everyone,
Always come here when all searching fails! So thanks!
Subject sort of says it all...but is there one out there?? Can't believe theres one for iTunes and not a proper one for Zune....I mean one that looks built in so we can get some WP7 and Windows 7 integration going on here.
Thanks again all!!

I use Zune on my PC religiously and if I could use my phone as a remote it would be awesome!

Any news out there devs???
I think theres a lot of people who want this!!
thanks

yup Zune desktop is awesome, I now use it religiously for music and videos.

Remote Control on the Marketplace does it and even shows the album art in the background. It also controls VLC, WMP, WMPC, Sound Mixer, and PowerDVD.

Theres an app called remotely possible. You can control most media programs. It costs $5. Its not as responsive as youd like but it does work

Which one are you talking about I cannot find it. The ones I've seen none of them look as slick as the iTunes one....
Hopefully someone out there is making it

Ah, one would think that MS integrates across platforms. They don't and this is a major cause of frustration by users. Save yourself the aggrevation and only think of MS as providing stove-piped solutions. This will make your life better. Of course I haven't been able to do this and I get frustrated at least once a day because of it. I'm guessing that I'm too far down the caring path and it's going to take a major effort to get over this affliction.

its called remote control and the icon is a broken up antenna in white on a black background. Dev. name is Jerome laban I believe. It works great and looks fine. I don't give a crap what it looks like. It works awesome for all the programs it controls and is easy to setup. That's what matters.
