Based on your suggestion, I downloaded anycut app but where do I get instructions on how to use it? I am a new droid user.

I had this problem also. Beyond just turning off the notifications, I made the Handcent my default. To do this, go to "People," and select someone to text. It will then ask you which of the two applications to use and you can set Handcent as the default.

Maybe you already knew that part, but it took me forever to figure that out since I was trying to make it the default through Handcent itself.

Sorry to get off topic.

-Smart Unit Converter (for cooking)

-Dolphin Browser

Does anyone know whether we'll be getting a Yelp or Urban Spoon anytime soon? Where is horrible.

Maybe this is not politically correct, but I wanted to suggest my own application. I'm sure you'll find it unique and useful on your phone. Works perfectly all the way from G1 to Moto-Droid:

UltimateFaves lets you organize your most frequently used items (such as contacts, phone numbers, bookmarks, applications, etc) in beautiful 3D carousels for quick and comfortable access along with a unique and highly customizable user-interface.

* Create home-screen shortcuts to specific carousels
* Clear the clutter on your desktop!
* Beautiful 3D OpenGL animations

LOVE this! Please tell me how to get it. I just got my eris and launched the Market and don't see any way to search other than scrolling through hundreds of apps and hoping to find it. Please tell me there's a better way!

When I open the Market, I see "Featured" apps on top and then 4 other options: Applications, Games, Search, and My Downloads.
 
Buffman and GearJamminHank, did you find a good arm band or anything to use with the cliq while running using My Tracks OR Cardio Trainer? I'm looking on amazon and google, but if you have a recommendation, I'd appreciate it!

Also, can you listen to music while tracking the run?

thanks!
:)

I would have to say that locale is my favorite app so far. I had some trouble with it being inconsistent last week, but now it seems to be running smoothly. I'm saving battery power by having it turn off my WiFi settings while I'm at work, during work hours.


The second best would have to be Bonsai Blast, which is a more complicated and challenging game than I expected.

How do I get Locale on my Hero. I don't see it in the market.
 
Others may already know this but I jsut discovered how to speak my text message and the phone types it for me!

I use Handcent. Open the contact>press MENU key>press SPEAK.

Yep, a nice feature while driving!.... once you learn how not to slur and speak clearly.... must be my accent.
 
My new favorite app is dPod! dPod is a podcast client. Similar to Google's Listen, dPod can download both audio and video! Best of all, this app is completely free!

The biggest downside is that there doesn't seem to be a search option. But, to make up for it, the app syncs with your Google Reader account. Which makes everything really easy!

Right now, I have G4's Attack of the Show, Gadget Pr0n, The Feed, and a couple XPlay podcasts. Plus some of CNET's podcasts. The app is clean and works well.

Does anyone know of a better program than "snapit" to capture text and utilize it for saving to documents or sending etc?
Click to expand...

1) Google Goggles - all around awesome app, scan business cards and add to contacts, barcodes and get prices, paintings and get info on the painter/name etc....

2) Evernote - Nice, but I don't like how they force you to store everything in their format and make it kinda un-exportable.
 
Ultimate faves is my favorite so far. I have only had my HT-03A for a few days so that may change. Do people use it with aHome or any of the home page mods?

Hi, is there any Calendar application that I can call from directly?
Exemple: note in calendar: call N.N number: 123456789
Is there application that allows me to click on number and call it?
 
This thread has been well worth my time to read so that I could get some great apps based on your recommendations. I am absolutely loving the Dolphin browser. I glance through our local newspaper website daily for my kid's sports team write-ups and the old browser was making me crazy trying to use the zoom while navigating. The pinch zoom now is fabulous! Thanks!:D

Editing to include aldiko! I hate having downtime while waiting on children, doctor's appointments, etc. Now I can just whip out a book and read. Love it!

Just Uninstalled for the second time. The free version doesn't allow you to see more than 4 of you contacts, add another carousel, or access other options. I like the idea but I'm not paying for something that has a free app that represents it so poorly. How do I know if the free version is a teaser or that is the quality of the paid app as well?

This works alright. Not perfect but very promising. It will also read a text to you. If you long press on a message it will give a "Speak Text" option that will read it to you while you drive.

I just use the armband that I used to use with my iPod with my Hero. Not sure if there's a huge difference in size between the Hero and the Cliq. Yes, you can listen to a playlist through Cardio Trainer while it is tracking the run. It will even give you updates on your progress while the music is still playing.
 
As a man that spends more time reading about politics and viewing blogs, I really enjoy Flyscreen quite a bit. It never freezes on me, and I can put some of my favorite news sites right on the front for me to read quickly, and I can tag them to read them later on. Very enjoyable app.
 
My favorite app(s), as of right now, would have to be FeedR News Reader, GDE - The new home experience!, and Home++ Beta.

I know 2 out of my 3 faves are home replacements, but I like both too much to choose just one.
 
I don't see the UltimateFaves Pro version in the market? Is the upgrade available through the free version?
