Hey, what's so funny? LOL
The part about sticking it in water and finding fish and doing sonar, or the sad part being that that's my favorite app?

I came from a dell streak and it didn't work for crap. Restored apps always force closed. Does it work normal on the infuse like I remener it working on my old hd2 way back? I know it will run and create, I just have yet to restore and I'm not willing to risk it right now.

No. It flashes your screen to let you know you have a notification.

What does everyone use to back up contacts? App or computer?

$50+ Worth of FREE Android apps from Getjar (Including SwiftkeyX!)

Not Affiliated, just saw this on Slickdeals.net:
SwiftkeyX [getjar.com]
These are all the free apps [getjar.com]
But please note that this requires the Getjar application. (which I believe you can uninstall after you get the apps you want!)

Thanx for the link...

Interested, but a bit leary. There's gotta be a catch. Anyone have experience with getjar?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

I tried it out, yeah you have to DL their getjar app. However you can uninstall it afterwards.
You can't download the apps for free from the market at a later time, though, if you uninstall them. IDK, this is just what I've observed

Getjar has been around quite a while. I used apps/games from there on my old Nextel phones and feature phones using java. Its probably setup the way Amazon does their app market.

I Doubt there's anything to Worry about!

Thanks. Yeah, I downloaded it, but didnt really even see any of the apps I was hoping to find, namely LPP.

Cool app - iOnRoad

I read about this app at Android Central, and I wanted to give it a try. When I tried to install it from the Android Market, supposedly the app is not compatible with the Sensation. I searched a little bit more and found a direct link for "unsupported devices", I downloaded the apk and installed the app and it is working.
Here is the link: http://www.ionroad.com/download-ionroad
Enjoy

Very usefull app

wish everyone had this lol cool app thanx

great
Great app thanks for this

Site is gone when I click the link.

Just download it from the market. It is already listed as compatible with the sensation.

I can't find it in the market. Possibly removed?

Very cool app

Interesting concept.

Cool app but the thing kept making my phone reboot. LOL. I had to uninstall. Sux cuz I just racked up some points the first day lol...

This app is a good idea but seems kinda contradicting don't ya think? If you were watching the road instead of your phone you wouldn't need this app anyway lol.
I cant say much, I text and drive practically everyday..

Great app thanks for this

looks like a good idea.
i will give it a try

The phone runs really hot when this app is left running.

I clicked the market link and this app is not compatible with the Sensation.... at least that is what it is telling me....

Are you in the US? That may be the reason.

To those of you who use and like this app, what car mount are you using?
Also, does your car mount let you keep your phone in it's case?

Android Market - 10 apps for 10 cents each, for 10 days

just FYI for anyone who didn't notice. Android Market is celebrating 10 billion downloads by offering 10 apps for 10 cents each for 10 days. It's actually been going on for a couple of days already, but there is still a bunch of days left to scoop up some deals.
Apps change every day as well.

Man, I just wish I knew about this when ADW was still there. I wanted to see if ADW Ex lags for me. LauncherPro redraws too much, even with the edited script.

Kinda late to respond to this, but you can buy VISA gift cards from a lot of pharmacies and stuff. That works as a debit card.
I used to do that when I wanted to pay for something online when I was younger.

Thanks for heads up regarding Android Market special.

[req-app] Best multi-downloading Mp3 [music] downloader

not sure if the applications are legal or if this actually piracy, if it is then close the thread if it isn't feel free to help me with this
So everybody knows that there are many mp3 downloading apps in the market but I am looking for the best one.
one that has fast multi-downloading.
good and human-friendly interface.
hopefully free? if there is a paid app ill look into it, maybe if I am satisfied with the results ill buy it.
Again, excuse me if this is warez... its just bit different than cracking a paid app..
