Let's get an app list going...

I would like to see an app where you could, say, upload various locations of either police speed traps or cameras in your city/area, based on the idea that you saw either the officer or camera and could upload that info. Then your phone would notify you when you are approaching a known area using your gps. Probably not legal...

Waze. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.waze&hl=en

Been using it for a few weeks now. I've driven over 2000 miles and in 4 states and it's worked perfectly in identifying speed traps and just areas where cops are. You'll get a verbal alert when you're approaching a cop, as well as the visual icon. You then can confirm on the app whether the cop is still at that location or not. It's basically a Nav app that allows people to report hazards, traffic, police, etc. It also works great for red light & speed cameras. I've reported a few that were new in my area to assist other commuters.

Calculations - The calculator that should be the standard for ICS devices. Comes with a full-featured calculator, measurement and currency converter, mortgage calculator, and even a tipping calculator. Worth every cent!

I upgraded to Pro for $0.99 to support the developer (and get rid of ads).

Pretty cool Android browser that I came across...it allows you to open multiple windows for true multitasking ability. Check it out in the market, it is called OverSkreen. Seems to be pretty quick as well.

+ 1 for air droid. For transferring files via wifi, I swore by wifi file explorer and still do, but air droid is also excellent at doing that and so much more. The ui is very intuitive and user friendly. Must have app.

Not much different than truckers reporting sightings. Although in order to report anything with something like the Waze app, you have to break the law tweeting while you're driving. So I don't hold out much hope for something like that.

What apps are out there that will let me monitor which apps are running in the background keeping my phone awake when the screen is shut off? I loose a lot of battery life because my phone "is kept awake" because of some application(s) and i dont know what apps are causing it. Thanks in advance.

BetterBatteryStats works great for this. Make sure you read the instructions included though.

OK guys, this looks like the place to put this. I need an app.

I came over from a touch pro II, Yeah laugh and remember, but anyway I loved the notepad that came with it, I never thought I would miss it so much.

I have to take night calls for work, with that phone when I pulled the stylus out during a call notepad would open up and auto populate the date and time, the contact name that I am speaking with and their phone #. I would then add my notes and save it. In the morning when I was back in the office I would sync my computer and there were my notes in outlook.

Now I understand there are some things mentioned that are probably irrelevant or imposable but I don't see why an android app could do the important part here. I.E. no stylus and no outlook sync, I can live without them.

I have pulled down and tested over 10 different notepad apps and read many a forum trying to find a app that would work for me. No luck so far.

Any help would be appreciated.

Can I suggest you try out Evernote? It has no handwriting but is very powerful for note taking.

I will check it out again, I tried it back in beta I believe and on windows mobile. I haven't tried it on android yet so maybe it will be what I need.

Thanks for the response either way.

I had to reset my phone today. Unfortunately I can't find an app that I used to use that worked great for cropping pics and images for the screen on the GNex. Any recommendations?

For wallpapers. I don't care for the built in tool. The one I had used allowed me to have it automatically fit images.

Was it "Crop Wallpaper"?

Not sure if any of these are what you're looking for, but here's a link to a thread that mentions several cropping programs.
