Sorry for the double post. I had posted this in the vibrant section by accident. I think it would be best placed here. Anyway. A gtalk widget, One that shows the last 2 or 3 messages and has the ability to answer back. It could look like a twitter widget in all actuality.
Anyone know of one or have the knowledge to make one? I would pay and im sure others would too.

This is a great idea. I know I would use it as I mainly GTalk, not text.
Yeah, I never use texts. All of my contacts and I use gtalk. Is there anyone out there with enough coding knowledge to do it? I'm sure it would be profitable. Gtalk is built into almost every Android device that I've seen and having a widget would be awesome.
Bump!!! I'd love a widget!! I pretty much only use gtalk

There is a demand for it. I'm sure of it. I am not a coder and I wish I was. Argh.
Final bump. I guess this is just not meant to be. Imagine a widget like this with gtalk, aim, facebook, msn, etc. A dev could charge 99 cents and make thousands.
Oh well.
BUMP: Seriously, why isn't there a Gtalk widget of any sort? I primarily only use Gtalk instead of texting and I would love to reply without going into the app.
Money can be made here people! If I was a developer, I would be all over this. We have billions of battery/calendar/clock apps but the one thing that hasn't been touched is something as common as Gtalk. I would definitely pay for something like this.
Also bump. This is a great idea.
bump. a gtalk widget would be great!
Love this idea!

I think without hacking the google talk apk the only way to do this would be to write a independent app with the google talk api.
So you would have to use that app instead of gtalk and maybe not have it integrated into android as well.
Buba BUMP. Please someone create this app, I am really surprised there is nothing out there. Come on Google get your finger out ya @#*
I knew there would be a market for this!
I really wish I knew how to code, this would be the first thing I would make.
Any takers? I don't know how hard it would be to make, but there are people willing to pay.
One last bump for bumps sake.

What are the best office apps? (docs, spreadsheets, etc)
I am compiling a list of the best apps of each category, so leave your opinion and a quick reason to help out the community.
If the app costs $, be sure to say so!
I have not tested any but here are some good ones I've read about to get started.
Documents to go
Quick Office
Office Suite
Hopefully some of you guys have tried them all and know the best!
Docs to go seems best for me

docs are pretty badass
Docs to go +1
I have docs to go and quick office and quick office is the only one that allows you to edit docs with headers in them.
+1 for Docs to go too.
The free app is useful, but if you want to edit them or create a new one, it'll cost you $15. But it's money well spent!
i have all the 3 . -
PROS -
office suite has better editing options and the only one that can open password protected docs .
Can insert images in documents.
Quick office - i mainly use it as a search tool.. fast search and opens files.
Documents to go.. i wasted my money.. really dissappointed ( coming from windows mobile ) . hopefully their updates in future will add more options.
I've tested Docs to Go and Quick Office. Docs to Go was the best but I find it isn't as good as WM Office Mobile for the moment.
There's also OliveOfficeEditor and OliveOfficeViewer. I can't say I really tested them. Just installed, didn't like and uninstalled within 5min.
Bump guys

nobody mention thinkoffice yet?
it comes with my LG stock froyo, which i can edit.....but now i flash a custom rom without backup it.....from the market seems that i can only get lite version, which is only a viewer.
Polaris Office
The one that came with GSII, does any one have the working apk?? My room doesn't have it, and I kind of miss it for fast viewing docx files...
thanks in advance

I'm looking for the one that came on my cappy (at least, I think it did) but it's not on my rom. I'm using OliveOffice right now and it's okay, but if anyone has the apk for the cappy or SGSII and wouldn't mind sharing, it would be greatly appreciated.

I love Smart Office from times when i was using Nokia phones.
Still love it on Android. Nice UI which i appreciate much. Dont know if other apps have more features. Smart office has enough features for me

I didn't try version 2 (which is on marker) yet. Only used vs 1.9.2.

If anyone comes across any interesting apps, let's share here xD
Couple apps I'd like to share is:
Sony panorama camera... Works pretty decently on our phone you need to install the sony propriety files first xD
Text notify.... Kinda replaces the purpose of the ticker.... :/ if you trade the continuum in for the fascinate, that app would be a god send.. Basically it makes toasts for your messages xD
Sent from my Continuum
Ubermusic, SwipePad, adbWireless, Bible, Brightness Level, Cloud Print, Opera mini, Gallery Excluder, eBuddy, Dropbox, FriendCaster (Facebook alternative), Hoccer, iTag, QRDroid, Root Explorer, Shazam, Selective Silence, Screen Filter, Screenshot it, Ringdroid, Twicca (Twitter alternative)
Yup, I think that's pretty much all the ones I use
Permissions denied is one of my favorites it took the ads out of angry birds! Something that adfree couldn't do...

I just kind of accidently discovered this but if any of you guys use the vuze bittorrent client on your computer it supports device playback on our phone through the allshare application
Soo allshare has a purpose for me now

The Amazon App Store is a great app to have. Why? Amazon features a paid app each day they let you download for free.
To get it, go to Amazon's website and download the .apk.

So the update was supposed to bring access to pages. I don't see it anywhere. Where is it?
So its out that no one knows, or that its obvious and I'm retarded? Just curious why no one has responded.
I see no difference either.
Feel better?

facebook needs to stop favoring iphone and give android some love. The app really sucks...
Just tried to email their app support and they won't even accept them. I post an screenshot later
Video upload is not reliable at all too. 8 out of 10 videos I tried to upload end up getting stuck.

The FB app by FB is garbage its plain and bland.
I started using another app for FB called Flow (There name is changed to friendcaster now the dav partnered with handmark makers of tweetcaster)
The app is excellent in nearly every aspect except one, the fact that you cant send a message from the application itself (Due to FB removing that portion of the API to only acknowledge the official FB app)
Theres a free version and a pro version on the market and its worth a try.
Why the heck facebook takes 100mb ram??
Because its coded very poorly. FB is like crack to most of its users, so they don't care it uses a ****-ton of resources, so FB has no reason to bother coding it efficiently. Like a ton of other apps too. As the phones get more powerful, the devs get sloppier since they don't have to optimize. Same with computers, or any electronic, so few users are going to notice it doesn't matter to lose the few who do over sloppy code when compared to the money and time it might take to write it efficiently.
It doesn't pay to pay attention to such things anymore, there are just way to many of the clueless around out-spending the discerning consumers at a break-neck pace (i.e. the success of the iPhone). Join the herd or be forever disappointed.

yeah u r right, good point! that background detection is pretty bothering though.
Worse still is that even their mobile website is so poorly done that it sucks ever so slightly less than the app. So the only way to use Facebook reliably is with a computer. And morons were surprised when the ipo tanked!
Now ask yourself, did I really just read that? Yes you did.

Thinking about just using the browser instead of the app, it's so frickin bloated.
Try friendcaster
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using Tapatalk 2
Friendcaster is a really nice replacement, but it lacks permissions to show all the content, so often you get redirected to the browser. Facebook doesn't only create s crappy app, they also stop third party apps from making better ones :/

Dolphin Browser with the 'Desktop Browser' Addon and Full screen mode does a Facebook just fine. I find the mobile web version a bit more sufficient than the app. Justmy opinion...

A little convoluted, but if it gets the photos to load every time, worth it. That's really my major gripe with the app, after you look at a few photos, they stop loading. I have to back out, force close, and clear cache to get them back.
