I wondered the same thing... why so many used "Tapatalk"... I am going on blogs almost daily to learn about everything from battery issues to apps... so I tried "Tapatalk" and now I understand the why... so much easier to look at forums etc! Thanks again to all the bloggers!)))

I wondered the same thing for a long time. "why pay for an app when I can do the same thing on my phone for free?"

Try it out you will not be disapointed, worst case scenario if you dont like it get a refund.

Tapatalk is free if you get it from getjar.com

When I try searching for Tapatalk using getjar.com I find this app called Convo. I also tried to go to getjar.com and follow the directions using the quick download method but it says that there is no compatible version for google galaxy nexus. Am I doing something wrong? Any other way to get tapatalk free?

That's funny. I still have it in my apps but search the long and short way turns up nothing. Let me try again.

I did a little work around and I am good to go. Thanks anyway!

There is a free version of tapatalk, but that lets you browse, not post to forums I believe.

[radgatt]

I managed to get the version of tapatalk I need where I am not just browsing. I appreciate all the help.

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...

[thebignewt]

I just got Remote for iTunes ($3). For anyone playing their iTunes library using Apple TV or the Airport Express this is great. I have it on my iTouch (free from the App Store) too. You can select and play anything and control which system is playing (or play both at the same time) and volumes. Works great.

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.

Has anyone noticed that Light Flow (Lightflow) is using 20MB RAM? It is a 1.5MB app.
Is there anyway to reduce that? Maybe disabling notification monitoring for stuff that we don't need to monitor?

Could be one of those types of apps that you need to go into Settings/Manage Apps/LightFlow and clear the data/cache on it from time to time as it builds up...

[hyde49314]

Ok, as of now, according to SystemPanel Lite, it is at 46.10MB Resident, 34MB effective.
Thanks for your suggestion, but it has only been running for 1 hour or so..
Do you have any suggestion for light notification app? I just want a red blinking light for my e-mail notification and Low-batt notification. That's all.

[Dracolan]

Got some awesome app ideas from this thread thanks guys. Also here is my must have app list.

Chomp SMS for messaging
Pandora, Tune-In Pro and Music Download Pro for music apps
Docs to go for my word and excel docs
Andy-83 for my calculator
Amazon app store for the daily free paid apps
Jetflicks and MX Video Player(since ICS doesn't seem to play avi files) for my movies and tv shows
Wireless Tether, Titanium Backp and Superuser for rooted purposes
Sportacular for sport scores.
Memo Pad for quick notes
Angry Birds (all three), Cut the Rope, Peggle, WordFued, Homerun Battle 3D and Where's my water at for games.

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!

Vlingo - Think Siri except without all the little quirks. Comes with a nice car mode too.

Flixter - Great for getting movie showtimes and tickets.

MoreQuicklyPanel - Amazing add-on to the pull-down notification panel. Activate stuff like WiFi, airplane mode, bluetooth, screen brightness, battery life, and GPS much faster than having to navigate your settings.

Mixology - For when you're looking to try some new adult beverages. Almost 8000 drink recipes, plus you can input the alcohol/juices you have on hand and shows you all the possible drinks you can make with what you have available. Desperately needs an ICS update though.

Pulse - My go-to news app. Shows multiple news outlets at once in a clean, swipe-centric interface.

Wolfram Alpha - Think an encyclopedia on steroids. Does word definitions, advanced mah calculations (like integrated calculus), and can dig up information on almost anything you tell it to look for.

Stumble Upon - The best way to kill time ever. Just download it.

Waze.

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.

I cannot find this app on android market or appbrain, any ideas ?

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.

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.
