I do. But I find it to be a pain in the butt, so I don't play it much.

Just found an app where you can dl music for free its great.
Use lookout too to make sure I'm not downloading anything viral.
It's called music mate. It's magic.

Any issues with music mate so far? I'm thinking about downloading it.

No, I love it!

As for LockOut... I had to uninstall it. My battery just couldn't take it.

So, should I call in yelling at Verizon so I can get out of my contract to get a new Thunderbolt ?

Alright dudes, I JUST got the droid incredible in the mail this afternoon after not having a phone for five days. Had a verizon trance for 2 years. Ew. IDK wtf I'm doing, i figured out the basics but don't know how to browse free apps, I want to get on this gaming scene so I have something to do while on the bus on the way to classes and stuff.

Tips, suggestions?

njx9 · 02-17-2011, 06:58 PM

hit the market button, download like crazy

Brent · 02-17-2011, 06:59 PM

first: Advanced Task Killer.
second: anything and everything that you want which is free.

BuckeyeDan17 · 02-17-2011, 07:10 PM

Regardless of what carrier I have most apps are free?

Brent · 02-17-2011, 07:27 PM

never pay for an app. ever.

NOOOO. Biggest joke of an app ever. Resource hog and most Androids should already have a task manager that works quicker and a lot lighter.

only thing that's there on your phone is the 'manage applications' under settings, but that is so painfully inefficient for the user.

I have the task manager running on the 3rd page of my Samsung Vibrant. Easy breezy.

Brent · 02-17-2011, 09:06 PM

eh, I have an HTC Incredible, not worried about ****.

bigbluedefense · 02-18-2011, 07:21 AM

Yeah is it true you shouldn't have a task killer?

I noticed when I downloaded my advanced task killer that it saved my battery by a significant amount. But I read that it's actually worse?

I'm confuzzled.

meh. it's fine. it's better than leaving every program running in the background.

BuckeyeDan17 · 02-18-2011, 09:13 AM

Dude I can't even get past the ******* security verification where they make you type those trippy ass letters. **** that ****. I can't interpret the tiny things. Sucks to be me right now. Do things I download off my internet browser (pdf files) etc get saved to the phone? if so how do i access it because i downloaded an app and it's not on the apps screen

Who is excited about Bionic or Apex phones?

Should I be waiting for the Bionic or just get the Thunderbolt?

eaglesalltheway · 02-18-2011, 10:09 AM

I'm probably getting the Evo in may (its when my cancellation fee drops $100). Does anybody on here have one or know anyone who does, and what they like/don't like about it? So far from the looks of it, it'll either be the Evo or an Iphone, but I'd would be majorly disappoint in myself if I ended up getting an Iphone.

ryno626 · 04-06-2011, 03:38 PM

Does Google Voice use minutes or does it run off the data connection?

njx9 · 04-06-2011, 03:57 PM

data.

for anyone still reading this, the amazon appstore thing is terrific. free paid app every day, lots that are worthless (such as today's), but some that were nice to have (paid version of soundhound, for instance).

Nalej · 04-06-2011, 09:12 PM

I have the Evo and I love it. The battery wasn't anything to brag about though.
I had a friend root it and gave me some UV type processor (???) and my battery life has been great ever since

How do you get the Amazon App Store... ??

njx9 · 04-06-2011, 09:58 PM

go to amazon. you need to be able to install non-marketplace apps. they'll email you something, iirc, then you can download it.

Nalej · 04-06-2011, 10:02 PM

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to njx9 again
