yeah thanks! exactly what i was looking for.

with that app you have to add your friends manually. It can't read your XBL account and pull your friends from the list.

search for gsDroid in the Market. i use that. Sign in with your windows ID so no need to add all your friends

This is a great app, but does not work if your friends have privacy settings enabled.

No, you can't send messages through it. It does still work if your friends have privacy settings enabled. gsDroid is by far the best Xbox live app imo.

don't get gsDroid
I have to say gsDroid may work really well and all but I wouldn't get it! You have to give them your Microsoft sign in information which violates x box rules for a good reason. That person would have access to your account and possible credit card info. No matter how much you may like the app we really don't know the developer and this could be an opportunity for that person to get your info and scam people.

[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:

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"

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!

+1 Surely one of the devs on here could come up with this!

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.

[Q] How to do video chat on this tablet

Please help.
Very new on Android and I'm trying to figure out the basic stuffs. Bought 2 of these tablet so I can do video chat with my wife and kids.
People have posted that Google talk works but I don't know how to set it up. I looked in the market and didn't see any Google talk app in there so I'm assuming that it's web-based. Googled it and didn't find any link that will set it up for me. I setup my browser (Dolphin HD) as either Android or Desktop and still can't find any link that will launch the app. I Also looked on these forums but can't find a set of instructions that work, just some posts that fix the issues.
An Idiot's guide will work for me.

I believe Google Talk was already loaded on mine. The icon is a speech bubble that says "Talk" in it. It works beautifully for video chat.

Check your installed apps, it should already have been installed on the device. It's apps called 'Talk.' It's one of Googles default apps, also one that can't be found on the market.

Look on the next page if you have more than one. Just swipe your finger across the screen when looking at your Apps screen. My icon for Google talk is on the 2nd page of installed apps.

If for some reason you dont like google talk, tango is another free app in the market, and i like it quite a bit.

Tango an fring are cross platform.

They may be cross mobile platform (iOS, Android), but not on PC. With google talk you can go tablet to PC. And soon it will be available for gingerbread phones. And hopefully it will get iOS support eventually and work on all platforms. Or, maybe skype will eventually get Android support.

Don't count on getting skype video for android now. They were working on a video chat version, but now Microsoft has just bought them.

Thanks akashhhh, for pointing out the Chat app on the TF. It looks promising. As soon as I can snatch the new TF back from my wife, I'll try it out. I may have to buy another one. She has taken possession of it, and won't let loose.

R.I.P possibility of Skype Video on Android.. Google talk is nice, but no match for skype

Google talk works great for me. TF to desktop all the time.

Fring works but sound is not brilliant
