Yeah, it is that time again.
I haven't seen one of these threads in a while and since most of us have had our phones for several months, I'm curious to see what kind of usage we have here. After all, things change when most of the tinkering and tweaking is done.
Include as many as you wish. I have skipped calling and texting, because it is a phone after all, but feel free to post anything.
Here is mine:
1 - Browsing (stock Opera and SkyFire)
I do this daily and sometimes several times per day.
2 - RSS Feeds (SPB Insight ftw)
I can't imagine how I have lived before my daily news/sports/weather updates .
3 - MP3 Player (mostly Pocket Player and MortPlayer)
Almost every day. Especially when there is travelling/waiting/etc. involved.
4 - E-Book Reader (MS Reader)
At least a few times per week. Sometimes I don't read for a while, but then, I do it all week.
5 - Online Hexxagon!!! (SPB Online)
That game is absolutely addicting and I cannot stop playing it.

Now I only use these types of features:
1) Text Messages
2) Phone Calls
3) Dictionary
4) Flashlight
5) Memo and Organizer
I'm not going to use it for entertainment anymore. I need to get a good GPA so I can get grants for my college education. I got a little spoiled during my first year in college.

Can you show me how to play java games and where to get those?
Of course. The ones I mentioned are from GAMELOFT. You can get them right there. Native-WVGA-Examples are Pro Golf 2010, Golf the Open 09, Wimbledon 2009, Roland Garros 09, Sonic Unleashed or SpiderMan Toxic City. Digital Chocolate also offers a few ones, e.g. Beach Games 12-pack.

10. Bragging rights - because I am the only one in my class with an X1 [just kidding]
11. Mirror - I have a screen protecter that is coloured such that it turns into a reflective surface when the screen is off.
I've had my X1 for slightly over 2 and a half months and I swear this phone has changed my life - in a good way.

8. Facebook Panel
9. Youtube Panel
10 Torch Button with registry patch
my list only goes down to 3:
1. phone

3. gps
other than those 3, are rarely used. and now i'm thinking of getting a standalone gps because the gps function in the x1 (or any phone for that matter) are SLOW.
standalone gps navigation systems are much faster with better precision and have faster refresh rate. i tried driving with a garmin nuvi and it beats gmxt in my x1.
It's my personal computer. So:

2. Calling, sms, mms
3. Email (with amazing Profi Mail app)

7. Games a little
8. Flashlight
9. Office a lot (with DocsToGo)
10. Calendar, tasks, notes alot
11. Sketch drawings
12. Ebooks (Mobipocket reader)
13. Google Maps

15. Converters
16. RSS (BeyondPod)
17. Podcasting (Bambuser)
18. Blogging
19. Twitter (PockeTwit)
20. Stopwatch
1. Opera Mini
2. E-mail, Calendar, Tasks
3. Opera Mobile 9.7b

Nothing special - add me on google talk [email protected]
Mine does that too whenever i restore a rom. The market auto restores all apps but they download to /sdcard/download first. Even if you delete the files from download. Reflash a new rom and let it restore your apps it will re-add the "downloadfile*.apk" to your downloads folder. Weird but nice.
Never thought of it but buying an app, flashing a new rom and letting it restore will put it on sdcard and then you can get a refund and it will still be there.
Wonder why it does this?
After failing miserably at trying to partition my 16GB SD Card and using Apps2SD - I upgraded to Froyo which as we know is the only ROM that allows us to move apps to the SD Card. My question is which type of APPS can I actually move, because after going through all of the installed apps on my EVO, the only one which allowed me to move it was ACT 1 video player.

Hi all,
I'm looking forward to get my Tab 7.7 16Gt 3G/Wi-Fi and I like to get some app recommendations, free or non-free.
It will be mostly used while travelling so apps should work without Internet connection and in flight mode.
So far my list has:
- Kindle for Android
- Astro File Manager
- Sygic GPS or NAVIGON for Android
I want to:
- View photos
- Watch movies
- View PDF documents
- View/edit Word 2010 documents
- Play some games
As noted they have to be usable in flight mode.
Other must have apps ?
TIA

Some MUST HAVE apps for the Samsung 7.7:
The stock Gallery is good enough to view photos. File Expert is also an option.
VPlayer, MX Player, Dice Player can play almost any media files you throw at it including mkv files.
Polaris Office is an inbuild app to view or edit Word documents. You can get 3rd party apps like Quick Office Pro and Office Suite too.
For PDF: EzPDF, Repligo
Games: Angry bird is everyone's favorite, esp angry bird space. Pool 3D pro, Shadowgun, card games like solitaire.
Must have apps if your Phone is rooted:
Titanium Backup pro
Root Explorer
Superuser
Busybox
Ditch the Stock touchwiz launcher and install ADW launcher EX
^ agreed. Touchwiz sux.
You may also want to invest in a quality SD card (if you haven't already). Depending on video quality(Mbps)...expect about 300 min worth of movie storage or 500 min of music @ 13mbps. You can store more than this but you will degrade quality with lower transfer rates.
If you do decide to root your device, you can also save on precious battery life by adding a battery managment app like JuiceDefender.
I would recommend you to perform the following first before everything else:
1. Get root
2. Install GO Launcher HD (Beta) and make it as default
Some would recommend ADW Launcher EX, but I found GO Launcher HD (Not the EX one) more responsive with less memory footprint. You may compare before decide.
