Just got an Android phone..Recommended apps for it. (1 Viewer)

[Gambra]

And I personally would reccommend Winamp as a great replacement music player, AndroZip for opening zip and rar files, Adao File Manager for browsing files, AK Notepad since there's no stock notepad for some reason and I'd also recommend installing the market versions of the Facebook and YouTube apps as they're far far better than the stock ones.

I'm not sure what ye mean in that you can't buy off the Android market? I've been buying off it for months.. You just need to set up a Google checkout account with the same email you set up the phone with.

Sorry I just reread my post I meant 'The Android Market place is now fully functional in Ireland now - I'm right in thinking this..'


Thanks - good info on those apps - do you know can WinAmp play Mp3s from a shared folder on a networkdrive?

Does anyone know what I've done wrong?

Facebook keeps crashing. It loads as normal then suddenly quits.

Anyone know how to fix this?

The app or viewing it through a browser? Yet installing the app.

 

[therealjohnny]

I launch the browser then go to Facebook

it's been working, though not very well since I got it...now it crashes all the time

Did you mean 'try installing the app'?

question for yas,

is anyone running a satnav application on android, and is it any use. if so, which one? google maps or a paid one or what?

 

[therealjohnny]

The facebook app seems to be doing the trick--thanks people

Try not to use the browser for sites that have dedicated apps like Facebook/Twitter. If you've been doing that clear the browser cache as even the top phones only have a few hundred MB internal memory and the browser cache can take up most of that. I'd reccommend Dolphin Browser & move it to the SD card, much better than the stock browser.
