Official Android thread

Thanks to you too Jeff.:slight_smile:

You would think with this hi-tech phone I could just say, “Show me my f’ing contacts and make it snappy!”

found this neat app called slidescreen, it changes your home screen so it is less iphone like. takes a bit to get use to but i think its neat and it shows that you can pretty much change any aspect of the android OS. cant really run any widgets with it right now but they say on their site they are working on that

there is a free version with adds so you can try it out

Interesting…got a cool but congested look to it.

The locale app was suggested to me because I wanted my phone to know by gps location when I’m in school/work/etc and mute the phone. Yeah I can do it myself, but just checking. There were 94 results on the Market when I checked - anyone use it and which one exactly is it?

I didn’t realize they are now charging $10 for locale. You can use an app called Timeriffic to set up profiles based on time of day.

Cool thanks I’ll check it out

This is not exactly a droid question but w/e. What are the thumbs up and thumbs down for on Pandora?

To tell pandora what songs you like/dislike, so that it can learn your tastes.

^Thanks. I missed a song, I hope it doesn’t think I don’t like it and won’t play it again. :frowning:

nah, it will play it again

You don’t have to do it everytime lol

I usually only use the thumbs down when I get sick of hearing a band or something

Ok so I got my HTC hero today and I was fiddling with the youtube app and it wont play. It just keeps saying that its unavailable to play at this time for every video. Anyone else have that issue?

youtube is working fine for me

yeah I figured it out this morning actually, Some videos will play some will not. Idk why exactly but i guess im ok with it.

READ THIS POST…

Holy awesome app!!! Speed Hud

This app has a reverse Heads Up Display so you can place it on your dash and read the speed off your windshield!!! It also has other schweeeeeet features like g meter, speed warning and compass. Better than other speedo apps if you ask me.
If you have a droid and you are on a car forum this app is a must. :slight_smile:

droid question how the hell do you delete folders off you desktop?

Um wat? I’m assuming you want to remove apps off your main screen? Just press the icon until it vibrates, and drag it to the trash.

edit: Blue Eyed Devil, (wtf is your name? ha.) Did you buy it? Or is your droid “jail broken” or whatever the frick. Can we even do that? Am I missing out on something? I’m going to have to re-read this entire thread. Faccck.

thanks dawn i couldnt figure that shit out for the life of me lol

I’m so tech savvy these days. Yikes. HAHA.

My name is Mike. I bought it at the Verizon store next to Mighty in EA. :gotme:
You helped me in post #418.

Why does my GPS only work once in a while? When I click maps it does not find my location and when I am in Speed Hud it does not work all of the time. The little satallite thingy is blinking at the top of the screen but it does not seem to work 80% of the time.
