Thanks

I personally prefer Shazam. I have tried the paid versions of both (since both were offered for free on Amazon). Shazam just seems to be a little quicker and identifies music even in noisy environments better IMO

 

[nwh10]

I like Soundhound because I can sing to it! You wouldn't believe the horrible singing it recognizes!

Sound Hound takes longer to find a song and uses much more resources to do so.

 

[Sahan321]

Anycut indeed!

 

[riskaa]

Does anyone know of an app that will read a page aloud, a webpage. email, basically anything that is open on your screen at the time? Something that i can control through a shortcut or widget?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
riskaa

hummm sorry not that i know of... there has to be something for that is out there because the blind users would probably be using this

 

[android-game]

I'm a big fan of AnyCut from China.

 

[bamhm182]

I found this program the other day that I REALLY like. It's called Folder Organizer. It's basically a 3rd party desktop folder application with TONS of sorting features. Worth checking out.

(Needless to say, I'm also a fan of ShopSavvy now that I have a phone that can do QR codes. )

I think you have that backwards.... Soundhound works MUCH faster than Shazam for me. I have no idea how the resources compare. Soundhound is also able to go off humming and what not, so if you have a song stuck in your head and don't know what it's called, it can help you figure it out. Shazam cannot.

 

[blkbeltkid17]

I want the new phandroid app lol

 

[esthernrob]

gotta say NETFLIX... been waiting for this for a long time...

FACEBOOK
ROOT EXPLORER

 

[chrlswltrs]

gotta say NETFLIX... been waiting for this for a long time...

Same here, I love NETFLIX. I got an account because they finally released an Android app, and I am now enjoying watching on my phone and computer and PS3 and pause and resume between devices!

 

[golfingator]

Just a little list:

Tweetcaster Pro
Business Calendar
Go Launcher
Gas Buddy

 

[blkbeltkid17]

I third.that but I have to say its a killer on my batt lol

One thing I don't use/don't get all the hype and fuss about...

SMS drop-ins. At one point or another since I've had my Optimus S, I've installed GoSMS, ChompSMS and Hancent and I just don't get the hype. If I wanted my text conversations to look like I were having them on an iPhone, I'd buy an iPhone. The standard Android 2.2 messaging app works just fine, in fact, I actually prefer it's predictive text to any of the 3rd party ones I tried.

The thing I like about Handcent is that new texts appear and can be replied to through the lock screen.

Try go sms its like handcent with out all the lag

The best thing I picked up from this thread is No Lock. The icon is a Master-lock. It sits on my home screen.

No Lock enabled prevents the phone from locking. This is great at home, office where I check things a lot but don't worry about accidental key presses. I hate having to go through the slide-to-unlock routine every time I want to check a score, email, whatever.

 

[blkbeltkid17]

it sounds nice but its such a habbit having to unlock it

 

[ludlum]

Pips - Handy reminder beep at top of the hour, configurable tones and times...

Cheers for this suggestion.

Handy is right! Perfect for driving and you want to make sure you don't miss the top of the hour news on the radio; sometimes [when driving or whatever] you might be listening to a podcast and loose track of time

One of the simplest, but must have apps to have....IMO.

*** Note: if you are not aware of it ALL paid Apps in the market can be purchased and then, if you are not satisfied, you will be AUTOMATICALLY refunded if you uninstall within 24 hours of your purchase.


Cheers all

I came across one that will only give a refund if un-installed within 15 minutes!!

It's called Karaoke a-Go-Go

Actually this is one of my favourite paid apps and does what it says.

I also like:

You Version; best Bible app I have seen so far.

Tricorder........trekkies will know what this is.

No Lock......works perfectly.

Scanner Radio......I am here in Co Tipperary Ireland yet can listen to police chatter all over the world. I find I listen a lot to what's happening in NYC. Busy place....

Evernote. To me this is invaluable and syncs perfectly with the version on my laptop. For those who don't know it helps organise everything and anything that can be written down.

I have more but I'd only be repeating many of the cool apps already mentioned in this great thread.
