I have been having some trouble with the Y5 battery saver I read about on here. Do i need to set the wifi to off and then the app will turn it on? I have tried it both ways and it doesn't seem to do anything. Please help.
 
I've had my Droid Incredible for a couple weeks now, so I haven't explored a lot of apps yet. But so far my top 2 have to be Gameboid and Handcent. Love playing some old school GB and GBA games, and the customizable features with Handcent make it the best text/messaging app I've found so far. Much better than the stock one.

As far as a perfectly running functional app...you can't beat LauncherPro Beta. Don't be scared off by the beta, it updates all the time and has never crashed out on me. It is an alternate home screen and page setup for your phone. You can add additional screens to your home screen and after you default LauncherPro with the home button, everytime you hit home it will bring up a thumbnail of each of your pages! Completely customizable! Check it out you won't be dissapointed! AND ITS FREE!!!!

Can you change the apps on the bottom yet? The last time I used it you couldn't which is why I prefer ADW.Launcher.

ADW.Launcher - Android app on AppBrain
 
my favorite apps are:

swype: even though I use it like a regular keyboard, and just turn off the word prediction, I seem to be really accurate and and able to type much faster with it...

tvguide app: helps me find programs on TV easily, especially since I have no cable and the converter box guide says no information half the time.

red box: i've easily saved about $10 using the codes, but unfortunately the codes seem to have stopped working as often, but this app does nothing but save you money.

meebo: awesome, i'm connected on all my messengers, even Facebook. This app does seem to work better if you go to meebo.com and create a profile and log in to all your messengers there first, now all my facebook contacts show their profile picture.

red poker: free poker game that looks nice and you play against real people w/table chat.

touiteur(sp?): I think its the best twitter app.

color note: you can put mini post-it type notes on your phone screens.


those are my favorite apps pretty evenly because theyre all important to what I do.
 
I was using Handcent and have tried a few other sms apps which I do like better than the stock sms app but I can't figure out how to disable the stock sms so that I don't get repeat txt msgs. I know this may have been addressed in another forum but I wasn't able to find it so if you would be so kind as to point me in the right direction of how I can disable that function I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

You would just get notifications from both unless you disabled one of them. I personally like Handcent better.

My most used app is Bar Control. Bar Control allows you to put links to apps in the notification bar (status bar). This allows you to switch to your most used apps quicker without going to the home screen.

For Me it does after i did the 2.1 update most of my apps randomly launch. when i use task killer to try and close them all, it will freeze up my phone and sometimes cause it to restart. i have approx. 80 apps give or take.

This is why I didn't upgrade & I still use 1.5 :cool:

I remember someone mentioning a alarm clock app that would slowly play the song/alarm and not just go all out. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I can't seem to find the post T_T

I use "Alarm Klock". it's a lot better than default. and you can choose what percentage you want the music or tone to start off at, and end at. For example, I have mine set to 0%-30% over a span of 60 seconds. It's awesome.

MixZing - Not sure how many of you use this app, but it's a fantastic media player. It supposedly keeps track of the music you play most & builds you custom playlists using the music you have on your phone. I haven't used that feature, but in general, it's a great app. Best of all, with the latest update, it now has a graphic equalizer!!! This is the only app I've found so far that has this.

...the only problem is that according to the developer, there's an Android defect which prevents the equalizer from working if you switch to another app. If you do, the music skips for a second as it disables the eq. Once you go back to MixZing, the eq automatically kicks in again. The other cool thing is that you can apply custom eq settings to albums and songs, which is AWESOME!! Hopefully they'll add the ability to save eq settings based on genre soon.

you can change apps, icons, dock background ect now with LP. Oh and puch notifications. ADW....LOL

I've tried all of the other launchers and I think I've settled on LauncherPro. I was looking for a slightly more customized version of the stock launcher and I found that LauncherPro actually works better than stock. It's unbelievably smooth and I like the bottom customizable dock plus other custom settings.

I've recently come to enjoy Juice Defender/Plotter, Vampires Live, Mixzing (after EQ addition).
 
my favorite Tool is Theft Aware. I didnt buy it via store but on their website Diebstahlschutz und Datenschutz fr Ihr Handy - Theft Aware fr Android und Nokia Symbian

You can retrieve your lost/stolen phone with this software. I liked it because of its nice functionality, invisibility and because it is (or at least i feel like it is) reliable - which is necessary in case of emergency:-)

android pit wrote a very nice review in german: Theft Aware Trial - Android Apps im Test - AndroidPIT


Keyfeatures: - SMS Commands are received by the phone in silent mode - the
thief wont get suspicious.
- Invisible
- Get the current GPS location of your phone if available
- Get online map services links to Google Maps, Yahoo! Maps or Microsoft Bing Maps
- Lock the phone remotely
- Activate a loud siren, customize the siren sound
- Wipe the phone and erase all private data stored on it
- Retrieve all your contacts to another phone
- Retrieve SMS that are important to you to another phone
- Let the phone call you back (the stolen phone calls you on sms command
and you can hear what happens on the other side :-)
- Implement your own SMS commands

There are a few, the most popular is Locale. Is this what you're looking for? It switches based on time and location using GPS. Locale for Android
