So...could you guys share the apps you've got installed? The good ones.

They could be anything from games to utilities, just try to give some information about what the app is about. I'll start with some recent ones I've installed:

- Airdroid: You connect the mobile to your computer through the wifi and you can control your phone on it. You can send text messages et cetera.

-Paper Camera: You can add filters to your camera like sepia and other crap.


I had a thread like this some months ago...but apps are added daily so it was time for a remake.

Do I need to post suggestive pictures of myself to get some replies?

When you posted it was the wee hours of the morning on the west coast, and people on the east coast were still pretending the alarm clock wasn't going off Doesn't help that many people probably have the day off so are sleeping in, either.

Also: Do you want people to post stuff or are you trying to keep them away

Anyway

http://code.google.com/p/android-notifier/ - sends your notifications to your PC so if you have headphones in (or are like me and constantly leave your phone on silent) you can still see when someone is texting you and whatnot

https://market.android.com/details?id=xcxin.filexpert - feature-rich file manager and file transfer app.

https://market.android.com/details?id=jp.xii.relog.pcautowaker&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImpwLnhpaS5yZWxvZy5wY2F1dG93YWtlciJd - Sends WOL packets to your PC so it turns on before you even get to it. I use it at work on a few of my coworkers phones so that their workstations are on before they get inside. I'm happy to not have them complain about their PC being off, the boss is happy to save on the electricity bill and productivity, and they're happy because it seems like magic

Thanks, that PCAutoWaker is pretty cool.

Moar guise.

Any good remote access apps to suggest?

Remote access as in what? ssh, telnet, rdp, nx, VNC, or proprietary third-party solutions? preinstalled solutions or one-click technical support? For personal or for commercial use?

telnet, vnc type, for personal use. preinstalled solutions.

What I want to do is to wol my home computer, then download files from it, or vice versa. Then start up some software when I feel need to.

This could probably be merged with http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1292077-unofficial-android-discussion-ii/. KeePassDroid shouldn't be over looked, it is the Droid port of a Windows application to generate and store passwords. Also Taskos seems to be a decent to-do list type of program.

That's awesome, now tell me how to use it without destroying my computer.

1. Enable wake on lan in your BIOS.

2. Enable WOL in your OS

2.1 Windows: Right-click My Computer->Device Manager->Your Network card (whatever it's called)->Advanced. Exact wording will be different for every card, but look for anything labeled "WOL", "Wake on LAN", "Wake up", "Wake from shutdown", "Magic Packet" etc, and enable it.


2.2 Linux -- use ethtool and add a script to run on startup after your interfaces go up: http://wiki.debian.org/WakeOnLan

2.3 Mac OS X: http://lifehacker.com/348197/access-your-computer-anytime-and-save-energy-with-wake+on+lan

3. get your NIC's MAC address (ipconfig /all on Windows, listed as Physical Address, ifconfig on Linux, listed as HWAddr), enter it in the app.

4. Set the app to automatically send packets on network connection

To note: Your BIOS needs to support Wake-on-LAN. You need to be using an ethernet connection to use WOL (There is WOWL, but I have no experience with that). I've found that on the first time using PCAutoWaker, you have to manually wake up the PCs by pressing the button to send the packets in the app after connecting to the network. After that it should do it automatically.

Now, if you have an SSH server on home, install wakeonlan on there and create a bunch of files containing your computers MAC addresses (format XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX) and now you can ssh in and simply type wakeonlan -f filename and turn on your PCs remotely (I do this when telecommuting)

Mr. Number:

Great app for whitelisting/blacklisting calls. When I had AT&T while in the states I got this app since AT&T didn't provide me an option to block restricted/blocked numbers nor blacklist certain ones from annoying me. To me this is an essential.

How the hell can I forget Teamviewer? lol

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.alphonso.pulse&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5hbHBob25zby5wdWxzZSJd (amazing news app) and https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mufumbo.craigslist.notification.android&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5tdWZ1bWJvLmNyYWlnc2xpc3Qubm90aWZpY2F0aW9uLmFuZHJvaWQiXQ.. are two apps I'd recommend.

Pulse looks cool, I'll take a look at it.

Jefit is great too if you work out, I spent a couple of hours yesterday setting up my routine etc.

Just downloaded that Teamview non-commercial use app for my phone so I have remote access to my laptop. Works pretty well and it's very smooth having little to no sluggishness on it. Friend recommended it to me saying he used it to help him log into a game so that when he got home it was ready to use.

I use Teamview to fix any problems with my aunty's computer. Very very handy. I would think it's a bit hard to control it using a smartphone though?

It's actually pretty responsive to be honest which really surprises me. Tested it out on my laptop and dang well tempted to put it on my main Desktop to help load up games when i'm about to get home. Only sluggish part about it is if you view a website through the phone as it won't properly load videos and such. Used it to have some fun with a relative to try to scare her but it didn't work as she knew what I was doing.

I've got:

Catch
GO SMS
K-9 Mail
Drop box
Dolphin
Flashlight
GO Keyboard
Quick Pic
Root Explorer
Superuser
Gingerbreak
Weatherbug
Document Scanner (Honestly wish I didn't, I've used it maybe twice. And I paid for it.)
Antek App Manager
App2SD
Battery Minder

I rooted my phone and deleted all the bloatware. Its still a POS though, and I hate my phone.

For my browser I use Opera and am currentlyusing Handcent SMS for text messaging but I may test out GoSMS. I can also recommend AK Notepad for notes, it even allows you to export the notes to .txt files for easy sharing with any PC. I also like using ConnectBot to help remotely administrate my Linux machines, though sometimes it is hard to read the text.

What phone do you have?

Who is this aimed at?I myself am using a Droid 2 using the stock firmware but Android 2.3.3 according to my phone information. I am thinking of switching to Cyanogen, but probably will not.

I enjoy:

LG Ally running Rooted Android 2.2.2.

Biggest POS phone I've ever owned. It has absolutely no internal memory. Anything I download has to be SD compatible. But half the time it uses up phone memory just downloading stuff. It reboots for no apparent reason, freezes, uninstalls things by itself, deletes all of my contacts. I hate this phone. The only good thing about it is, that once my upgrade is due the iphone 5 should be out next fall so I'll be getting that.
