Android users unite!

Let's keep this thread alive, shall we?

Anyone has any good apps to recommend? I'm looking for a decent music app with good audio quality (can be out of the box or tweaked using EQ, but do post some tips on what EQ settings you use)

Yup I've tried both. I like the interface of cubed, but I'm looking for a player that can actually make my decent pair of earpiece play songs better than the stock Samsung one...What EQ settings do you use for MixZing? Somehow when I play with them on my own, I tend to just screw up everything

For Galaxy S users, there is a Voodoo lagfix available.

HTC Desire HD and Desire Z announced/launched/etc etc!

Sigh, why did HTC have to make my life difficult. Now I have to choose between a 4.3" screen or a hardware keyboard.

I'd say go for the hardware keyboard. I find that even the best soft keyboards on Android phones still can't work well enough.

 

[Evilmerlin]

I'm inclined in that direction too. I use a HTC Snap for ICT and typing on a hardware keyboard is quite the revelation. Now to see when Singapore will get these phones, my Magic is decidedly feeling it's age...

OpenFeint has arrived on Android! Finally, awesome games on Android! I highly recommend MiniSquadron and Fruit Ninja!

These are paid apps so you need to use Market Access which requires Root.

My ID on OpenFeint is Evilmerlin, feel free to add!

Edit: You need to either root your phone to use Market Access or get a pre-paid US sim card (which I understand is sold at a bookshop at Changi Airport) to access paid apps in the Market.

I just updated my HTC desire with 2.2 (froyo). What's the difference? Also, I didn't know that there was an update already. all this time I thought that the updates are for unlocked units only :bsmilie: looks like Im the last to know :embrass:

Supposed to have increased speed. Other changes I not very sure, but I think they're minor.

We can finally access paid apps (soon)!!! http://techcrunch.com/2010/09/27/android-market-international/

Not that I would buy anything though. I'm a sucker for free apps

 

[Evilmerlin]

Some apps are well worth paying for though. But paid apps coming to Singapore! HIP HIP HOORAY!

They are, but I still can live without them. But the thing is that even some free apps are not accessible in SG, that's more irritating than not being able to buy apps imo.

 

[scholesville]

I wonder how the payment method going to be, Google Checkout?

 

[Evilmerlin]

Steps to start purchasing apps.
1. Go to checkout.google.com
2. Sign into your google account
3. Register a credit/debit card to your account
4. Buy apps on market

There are some people on HWZ reporting that they still can't see paid apps. If you can't, try rebooting the phone and go to the individual sections to see if the "Top Paid" tab has shown up.
