This is to get a understanding to what people do with their android devices. This is also another way to express what we do that some people are not aware of (ex:video streaming,etc). Maybe open up paths for others that may just use their devices to just browse internet and play angry birls. Just feel free to enlighten the forums with what "special" apps that without,you couldn't live with. Thanks and god bless

Damm u do quite a bit. Good to see that your using it to the mac. Question is, how often are you on the charger
Sent from my HTC Inspire 4G using XDA App

I am on dill's aosp rom. I have used almost all from dev forum. Love.them all.

I use gmail, twitter/fb/reddit, engadget, tapatalk, andchat, various weather/clock widgets,
Either play music locally with winamp or stream with last.fm
I'm currently experiemting with the app called Tasker. Right now i have it set to for when on wifi, turn auto sync on and turn mobile data off. When i turn off wifi it automatically enables mobile data and turns auto sync off. There's so much more that this app can do it's well worth the money. (Takes a bit of learning but well worth it) Cause im forgetful when it comes to turning auto sync on/off when on mobile data/wifi. Currently gonna try setting up gps to turn on when i open google maps/navigator and turn off when closing them.
Here's the market link for those interested.

I just browse the internet and play angry birds.
Mine is used as a complete mobile office. I receive email and faxes via email in the morning. The faxes come in as tiffs so I use tiff2pdf to convert them. Then I use printer share to print them out at the office printer 20 miles away or on the home wireless printer.some of the docs must be filled out, signed and returned, so I use camscanner to take a pic of the form and can send it back via email. If the recipient needs a fax,i use pamfax to send it from the phone as a fax. I also send all these files to drop box so everyone in the office has all these files and all the computers I use throughout the day all have what I need.
I also use the map software to get miles and rates for people. My main office programs are:
Thinkfreeoffice, docstogo, officesuitepro and quickoffice adobe reader and fast image viewer.
If my phone can't handle it, I will use wireless tether to hook up the laptop to the internet, but honestly, the laptop is getting a bit dusty lately
My old tilt 2 was pretty good at all this stuff, but was much slower and couldn't handle all the above so a computer was necessary when traveling. With this inspire and the android revolution rom I'm in my glory! Exactly what I needed.

I should mention that I do use facebook and friendstream to keep up with friends, and do have 20 or so games to keep busy at night.
Also use the calender and agenda for appointments and sync with outlook. This phone is the bomb.

Yeah I use mine to take notes at school and those professors talk alot. Check my email with the k-9 app. Play modern combat for fun. I use quickoffice to write my term papers and email them to myself. I love to use my video chat from Google to say hey to my gf wwhile I'm out and about. I use current widget to kill battery time in half. I love how I can be on phone with my dad and bring up Google maps to help him find a location. I use movie stream to watch a movie or so while on lunch at work. I use frame grabber to watch a movie and capture a certain image out of the video. Very awesome app. Ill use Justin.TV or ustream to watch the mavs in play offs or watch ufc. Videotofacebook is a helpful tool to upload straight to your account.alot more as well

Read xda, check email, internet, text, games, remote control for music and media players in my house, stream movies, piss the wife off when I hijack her mouse on her laptop from my inspire, watch occasional adult movies, netflix, hulu, Pandora, maps and navigation, camera, videos, and on rare occasions use it as a phone.

Hello everybody.
So I finally ordered a HTC Trophy, so I'll be leaving the 'droid forums to join these more agreable, more magical lands. I wanted to ask, what are the first things I should do/download/check ?
Thanks in advance,
Kim.
Sent via my magical HTC Wildfire S.
First things on my list:
Setup the security PIN and whatnot
Download the Zune desktop software, connect up, make sure everything is up to date and setup wireless sync
Setup all your accounts (Exchange, Windows Live, Facebook for now, soon there'll be LinkedIn and Twitter too)
The advantage of the Zune desktop software is that it means you can browse the marketplace on your computer, which is always easier than on a phone. You can easily find the Windows Phone versions/equivalents of the software you used on Android, and you can install it via Zune- if your phone is connected by a cable, it'll install automatically and if not it'll install the next time your phone checks for app updates.
The only thing that annoys me at the moment is a lack of a quick WiFi switch, so I've pinned settings to start as a bit of a workaround. Also, when you're on WiFi and know you will be for a while, switch off the 3G data connection as Windows Phone has a habit of reverting to it if you put the phone onto standby.
Is having the zune desktop software an obligation, I don't have regular access to a computer ?

Well yes. In order to use your phone with computer, you will need Zune.
By using Zune, you can transfer music, pictures or videos to/and from your phone,
and also you can browse for apps.
USB mode for data transfer officially doesn't exist. You can not transfer Word, Powerpoint, Excell or any other "Office document" using Zune. For that, you will need to send them to your email, and then download them using your phone.
P.S. You need to have Zune if you want to update software on the device.
Ah, updating. Okay, but otherwise I can browse the market via the phone, like any other ?

Once you upgrade to Mango, try some apps using live tiles (The WP equivalent to Android widgets). Two of my favorites are WeatherLive and Smart Tile.

Yes. Zune desktop is for syncing pictures/videos/music from your computer to your phone. But its also used for official updating of the phone.
Other than that you have no 'need' for it.

What is the best phone to pc app? I want to be able to access my apps like dolphin browser...is this possible?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
What exactly do you want to do? Use the apps on your phone through an interface on your desktop?
if your going to use it the way i think you are then wifi file explorer is a good one to use you dont have to connect the device to the computer all done over wifi
Hope this is the right place. I am wanting to find an app that will automatically backup my photos and videos to my home pc server while not physically connected to the pc or at home on WiFi. I have been trying to find something but nothing really cones close. You guys are my last resort. Thanks millions in advance!
