Essential Android Apps

[ins0mn1ac]

Everything I download tonight is unsuccessful

 

[Hen_Dawg]

Still bad for me tonight, keep getting 'unsuccessful'. Its getting very frequent now as well which is not good.

Also I love the way apps are now showing in £££ but when you buy em they still convert from $$$ to £££ and I still get hammered £1.50 conversion fee per app from my bank...ffs Google just fix it..!

I believe that charge is the fault of your bank and the type of account, not google

I have just got a Samsung Galaxy S, first really decent phone ive ever had and am bloody loving it

If i have more then 1 home screen though, how can i have the wallpaper stay the same, because it kinda centres itself between the 2 which works fine if its a nice pattern, not so well if its some sexy lady!

Is this an app to do this or a setting somewhere that i cannot find

launcherpro will let you disable wallpaper scrolling under appearance settings

Is it always this flaky, so what's the top apps, so far got swiftkey, winamp, facebook, ebay. On a tablet no gps or g–sensor

 

[Rimsy]

market is down for me? anyone else having issues?

yeah was down for me too earlier in the evening but ok now

 

[DampCat]

On the LauncherPro one I'm certain it'll have a little grey mark if you have something on that day.

Yeah there is a little grey mark. Looking for something a little more flamboyant though

Try Pure Grid Calendar. Can show appointments with or without text and very easy to skin.

Only on rare occasions. It's fine now.

anyone explain this, i have my hotmail account setup as my email. i deleted the email on my handset, but then checked in my hotmail account on the PC..and the email was still there.
how do i set it so, that emails gets deleted in both locations.

No, but add hotmail to gmail. Use gmail instead. Problem solved.

Swype. Yet to find a working version for the DHD though.

 

[mrk]

My version linked above not working on HD?

 

[deadite66]

google for : Swype 2.4.44.10912 WVGA

im not keen on the HTC keyboard either, preferred the stock android one, not sure if i like the vibration when i touch a key

 

[modo77]

so turn the vibration off

anyone still having issues with the market today?

 

[Russinating]

Got Swype now, thanks all . And yeah, the market still seems dodgy .

 

[Wicksta]

so turn the vibration off

You can't turn vibration off on the HTC dialler, unless you download and install a hacked version (z0mbi3 on here created one).

Reckless Racing on Desire: you need a calendar to measure the framerate. Not ideal when trying to impress iphone-owning sausage-smokers.

Gonna give this a whirl on my 1.2ghz clocked Milestone which has recently decided to fix all of it's own problems and is a good phone again

Downloading SD card files now.

 

[tbz_ck]

Just ordered a 16Gb MicroSD HC Class 4 card.

Assuming I want to keep my existing ROM, apps and settings what's the best way of moving everything "across"??

Reckless Racing is good fun and runs smooth as a nut on a 1.2ghz 2.1 Rooted Milestone. The overclock of more than 2x base frequency probably aids that, quite a bit

Would quite like the marketplace to stop messsing up, though...
