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
Depends on the rom. With all this sometimes I go from 8 am to 9pm with single charge.... For some roms have to.charge in.between. YMMV though.

I am on dill's aosp rom. I have used almost all from dev forum. Love.them all.
Inspired from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
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.

All I see is little android guy with paperclip.
Why is it that so many things that should work out of the box on this phone requires a forum post? Maybe I'm just slow today.
Did you install the free office viewer? Search captivate in the market.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Quickoffice for Captivate.
I tried that.
But thanks for your post I gave it another go, and now, I have found my issue: .... the email attachment I used for my experiment was a PPTX and it doesn't recognize it ... only PPT
I re-did the experiment with a PPT attachment and it is fine.

You can download the free (read-only) version of Documents To Go app. This one supports PPTX. The QuickOffice app leaves a lot to be desired by it gives you capability to edit office docs as well as PDF viewing for free. So I had both on my phone.
Why does android not have Facebook with chat. Android has been out for some time now but still nothing.
There latest update is by far the best and performance wise it actually works better than previous versions.
I don't know if its possible but has someone tried to insert chat. There is so much rom development so there must be people capable of modifying this app.

The Facebook app isn't open source.
Is there no way to modify it. Everything is possible these days
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
I use Pairing. Works flawlessly and also ties all other chat programs in.

go! chat on the market works well
There's a version of bloo that has chat enabled that's floating around. It doesn't have the fancy new photoscroller or inbox features, but it DOES have chat if that's what you want.
Was supposed to say Palringo. It's free in the market and works awesome.

The AIM app works really well too. Can check FB updates from within the app as well.
if you use ninjamorph you can alter the .xml files in .apk's. can't someone create a .xml file that adds chat support? Or can't someone take the facebook app piece for piece via astro and add chat support and add an icon in one of the blanks on the main homepage? that seems do-able.
It's about time! The iPhone has had this for ages. It's free, works on 3G, you don't even need to sign up to anything, automatically checks phonebook to see who has Viber installed, and you can call and send text messages over the interweb instead of using your cell providers minutes/text allowance. You can even tell your android to set it as your default dialer! It'll also work cross-platform so any people you know with iPhones, tell them about this (but I suspect they already know all about it).
It's in Beta so is not on the marketplace yet, but it's got millions of iPhone users so it's trust-worthy. Get it from here...

Follow the instructions (you need to tell your phone to accept installs from outside the market first) and check it out!
What do you think?

If you want to watch a feed from your phone camera using your PC, IP Webcam is a great app.
If you want to watch a feed from your PC webcam using your phone, I'm not sure. But I'm sure there are some kind of remote desktop apps you can get a hold of. Or download a program which lets you stream your webcam, then connect to that stream using your phone.

I have that one on but it just shows what is being seen from my phone, I want to be able to use my phone to see from my web cam on my PC? I remember I had one that did that but that was last year, I believe something like 'Jumi' or something?
Edit/ I found JumiCam and it works :thumbup: also followed the steps to allow it to work over 3G/4G networks while away from home through my router modem settings but how do u at ur phone to show 3G or 4G signs in status bar instead of 'h/+h' with Wi-Fi off, this is my dilemma
