Android apps

Click on the app you're interested in to get to the review of it.  Top left hand side click on 'Install' if yer interested in the app.  Rinse repeat until you're finished searching for apps.  Then go to the phone and click on AppBrain.  Click 'Manage and Sync' then work yer way down the list of pending apps to install them. 

Didn't download anything to my computer.  Everything goes str8 to the phone.  It stores a list online of what I've put on the phone too.  Handy for when this one goes missing.

I see.  Still seems like a long-winded way of getting an app to your phone to me!

I find that this does all I need in a music player - Music Mod

And for those that want to see where they've been - My Tracks

And if you want your bad beat stories to be mathematically accurate (and even more boring!), then this is a must have - Poker Odds (€1.00)

Except automatically start playing again after a phone call... Doh! Crap!

Just had my HTC Desire for a week or so, so not too much on it yet. I've just got a 32GB micro SD card to replace the 4GB that comes with the phone. Do I have to go through some sort of set procedure to transfer the data from one card to the other? Or is it just a case of copying the contents of the 4GB card to my PC, then copying it from my PC to the 32GB card?

I understand it is the latter, although I haven't done it myself... I haven't come close to filling the 4GB card yet.

It now does re-start after a phone call... not sure if I was imagining it or if they have sneaked an update in when I wasn't looking.

Just found this one        the SoundHound        Its FREE  on Android apps

You tap the centre and it listens for 30 secs to a song playing on your car radio or in a club

and it tells you the name of the song, the lyrics, which album its on etc

v handy in a pub quiz music round lol

Shazam does the same.  Comes in useful.

Shazam has started to charge after the 5th request each month, so don't plan on using it often.  Came out with the charge in their latest update.

Yes you can just copy to the PC from one card, and then copy it on to the other.

If you decide to root your phone, one of the biggest benefits is the 'nandroid backup'.  http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Howto:_Nandroid_Backup

It basically works like a system restore, and allows you to take full backups of your phone and card so if anything goes wrong, you can go back to exactly how the phone was at a previous point.  That's how I've moved from one SD card to another in the past.

With the SD cards, it's obviously good to have a bigger card - but possibly the most important factor is the 'class' of card. The higher the number the faster it can read/write data, which is important on a smart phone, especially as many of the apps will be installed on your card (rather than the phone itself).

Also important if you want to get smooth playback of HD video on the phone apparently.

In my G1 I tried a class 2 8GB card (that I already had).  The phone ran terribly.  Replaced it with an 8GB class 6 card - and it flew in comparison. I could imagine HD video would need a fast card like you said.

[technolog]

Yes - I read that and got a class 6 card.

32GB + Class 6 = Lottery Winner?
