    GT Racing HD tips?

    This is a great Gameloft racing game, the most racing sim type game on Android currently, I really like it but I'm not very good. Are there any other GT players out there with any tips? What cars should you use for what events etc?

    Any way to make Gameloft website detect Captivate as a Fascinate?

    Top Android Games, Download HD Games for Android - Gameloft has a daily $.99 sale for the next few days, but since I have a Captivate I'm told I don't have any compatible games after visiting the SMS'd url. I would just buy the game online and sideload but the only way to get the discounted...

    Gaming on Android is getting good!

    I've been on a big game shopping spree, I don't know really how it compares to the iPhone releases, but now I have enough good 3D games to fill out my library. I just finished my first tournament in Pro Evolution Soccer, am at the last boss level in NOVA, am struggling through Modern Combat 2...

    Skies of Glory, how to unlock all the planes?

    I am loving the game, played through all the missions, 51 dogfights, and some online games, but so far I am stuck at 5 planes. On my pilot achievements it still shows Mission 2 undone, though I have completed it twice. It also shows an uncompleted mission 11. Anyhow, this is such a great...

    DroidTV Primetime on a Captivate?

    The app is great, until Hulu is supported on Captivate (I guess we'll need 2.2 too) this is cool. So I don't mind $6 for the next 6 months, just I get a 'Not Found' error when trying to buy the service. Is there any workaround for this?

    App idea: emergency camera

    It would be cool if there were an 'emergency camera' app that could be a one-click way to launch the camera and start quietly taking pictures per a set duration and time, say every 10 seconds, and automatically email the pictures to a defined address, like the cops or Facebook or something. So...

    Write Hulu and tell them you won't get Plus until they support Android

    I wrote them, told I would cancel in a couple months if no app is announced, this was the reply. It seems worthwhile to bug them IMO: Thank you for your email and for your interest in Hulu Plus! You're not alone - we've gotten lots of requests for Android. I'm afraid I have not heard anything...

    Budgerigar, cool Midi sequencer!

    Budgerigar - Midi Sequencer - Android app on AppBrain This is a pretty good little sequencer and uses midi instead of being sample-based like other Android sequencers I've tried, and it supports GM sounds so what you create are portable midi files you can play elsewhere. I sort of wish there...

    Notification launcher like BarControl only better?

    I like BarControl well enough except for two things: 1. Each app takes up one whole notification bar. 2. If you hide the notifications, there is still a bar that 'covers' them and youcan tell easily it is there. It looks ugly. Anyhow, I would rather just use this area for a quick launcher...

    Atomik keyboard for Android?

    There used to be a wonderful keyboard for Palm OS called MyKbd that used IBM's ATOMIK layout and worked like SWYPE, but instead of using QWERTY which is designed specifically to be SLOW (for old manual typewriters so they wouldn't jam) it has really useful honeycomb layout that maximized space...

    PowerAmp vs default music player?

    I am looking at PowerAmp and besides the awesome EQ, what else makes you think it is better than stock? I like the stock big buttons and text especially in the car, and like the stock notification bar controls. Just looking for a good reason to upgrade if there is one. If the stock EQ was easier...

    How to get absolute best Android performance?

    I am trying to go widget-free, using Zeam launcher instead of LauncherPro which seems to randomly have issues for me, I'm just wondering what tips you all may have for getting the best performance possible from your phone.

    Android environment to run inside Windows?

    I was just wondering if there was an Android environment that would let you run Android OS inside/alongside Windows, like Virtual PC basically, and let you have full connectivity just like if you were using your phone. I'm not sure what the utility could be right now :) but it sounds interesting...

    Photo editors?

    I have Vignette and PicSayPro, between these two I have a lot of editing power on my phone already, but I am looking for more filters via another app, something with artistic filters like oil, stained glass, etc. Any ideas?

    Default Launcher setting not sticking

    I'm using Launcher Pro and just yesterday I started having the issue where if you long-press Home and switch apps, you remove your default launch choice and then need to reselect it the next time you short-press on Home. It remembers the setting until I again long-press and use the app switcher...

    I LOVE my task killer. It is necessary on my Captivate.

    I know a lot of people say it isn't necessary on Android, but I have found it completely is, 1st to kill all the crap ATT loads at start once I reboot, and definitely to kill the Market which bogs down my machine if I don't kill it manually. I also need it to kill graphics apps like Gallery...

    What do you like? I like Vignette, Kaleidoscope Pro, Sketcher is cool, what else do you find lets out your artistic side? I always have my phone and I'd rather make some art than play a game, just wondering what is good, especially for making music. Any suggestions?

    What kind of SD card should I get?

    I am thinking that my old SD card may be responsible for some slowdown on my Captivate and since it is just an 8GB card I figure I may as well upgrade and see if it helps. Just what kind of card plays nicest with the phone, and once I get it how should I proceed to move the necessary stuff over...

    Android app I'd like to see

    I would like to see a Calendar data-entry app, nothing to replace the current calendar itself nor any of the lovely widgets, just something really well-thought-out that gets your data in quickly and lets you move on as easily as possible. Necessary features: frequently used text strings...
