What is the latest and greatest shareware for grabbing mp3's using my desktop? I used WinMX back in the day, LimeWire, I have FrostWire now but searching doesnt bring up much, besides LimeWire court settlement crap. Leads me to think not many ppl are using it anymore. I really dont want to go the torrent route, unless thats all there is (that works good) right now. Yes I know, not E3D related, but it can be, watch. Also is there a app for p2p that will run on my E3D? If so cool, if not my PC is good enough

I use Tunee to get mp3s on my phone. The downloadble .apk from the market is here.
torrents, sir, are the way of the future. Swarm is amazing. It's a paid app, but I feel like it will pay for itself...
I use mediafire. They have an android app now too

Just tried swarm in android market and it still works.A bit buggy.
For mp3 I get mine at mp3sale.ru. yeah its not torrent and you have to pay but at least all my songs are tagged correctly, decent download speed, only download what you want, great bitrate. Not sure what prices are now. I paid $50 for like 1500 downloads. Haven't logged in for a few years. Just did and my credits still there, account active. Plusu you can redownload anything you previosly downloaded for free.

It's been a while since I reasearched this and now that I upgraded to a decent phone I thought I'd check in here,. is there a decent TV app out yet? I mean to watch local TV digital stations or some variation there of? thanks
Not that I am aware of..bitbop is the only thing I know of. Best bet to just do a search online for a specific livestream..there are lots of flash sites out there.
Slingbox of course. Kinda pricey getting everything setup but most definitely worth it.
Buy a slingbox great hd easy install. i love it! The app is $30 buutt you can find it for a "cheaper price"
i just stream using flash from phstream.com (i think thats the site )

So what is everyone's favorite security app of 2011- and why? I know some people think security apps are not necessary. If you feel security apps are not necessary, let us know why. Any security apps that don't work on the 3D? Don't keep that info to yourself! In light of the recent news reports about phone hacking, news about malware in the android market, and criminal activity concerning phones in general, I thought it was a timely subject to discuss. Please don't let the thread devolve into a flamefest! We are better than that!
Edit: I know the poll is kinda big but I made it big on purpose. I had no idea there were this many different security apps out there until I did the research for this poll and I figured I couldn't be the only one so I put em up here so others could find out about them too. If I missed your favorite app, I'm sorry! Just give a shout out for it in the comments!
Lookout is what ive had on my phone since evo4g release date. The guys know their stuff that make it. They were on cnbc special one night showing hacking in open wifi areas.

Ive used Lookout and SmrtGuard on my 4G. But have not used any on my 3VO as of yet
Mobile Defense is probably the most reliable one I've used, it sucks that they are in limited beta though.

It's nice to know you can access methods to: remote lock, track, alarm & wipe your phone when its not in your possession anymore.
That whole virus & malware mess (if we can even call it that) is easily avoided with the common sense app, I agree.
As for malware you don't really have to worry about anything atm. HTC has done a god job of patching all of the security holes they all use.
I think htc also may have something built into the phones to track then if they are lost but I doing know as I haven't set it up myself yet.

I think you need to put AndroidLost on that list. That app is great.
Isn't there a setting in our devices by default that allow you to find a lost or stolen Evo 3D? I haven't played with it and know nothing about it. I just remember disabling it because I heard it sucks your battery down pretty quickly.
Htcsense.com website is the one built into phone... Right now its a huge disappointment as many have reported it not working. It is in beta and when it works 100% it will be a great asset

look out is good tho only reason you would need a anti virus is if u are going crazy with the random apps on the market which have spy ware in them. Linux is pretty much virus free the only way you could get something is if you give it permissions to do so. I never need a anti virus.
Anyone familiar with "Phone Locator Pro" (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rvo.plpro)? It looks pretty nice, too bad they don't have a trial. :/
I use AegisLab Antivirus Free, the option Appscan is outdated.
Scan is pretty fast and lightweight, and according to author, they will support SD card scan soon.
I got Seekdroid on the amazon app store when it was the free app of the day and it seems to work really well. Plus, the website interface is very good/easy.
I believe they also just released a free "lite" version of the app if any want to check it out.
I was using lookout, but am trying myphone without it to see if it saves any battery..but may end up putting it back on, even if it doesn't work as some say, having that sense of mind that you're phone is "protected" is kinda relieving
Just came out today guys.....tell me what you think.Tektrak works on iOs and android. Can't be removed from phone.Awesome

Great deal for some, that's .99 more then what i paid
root explorer vs file expert
I'm currently using File Expert, which is free, has root access, and sysro/sysrw. What, if any, would be the advantages of spending money on Root Explorer? Or is it simply personal preference and old habit?
Greatest deal I seen on the market lately! I choose root explorer because it's simplistic and yet still has a lot of customizations. If you purchase it for the $1 try it for the 15 minutes you got
Edit: so yes it's personal preference, to me.

Here's a good reason:
Root Explorer DOESN'T export your personal information every time you run it.
File Expert....
(yeah, it does.)
Ever wonder how an app as 'popular' as File Expert managed to be free in the first place?

It doesn't link to the market, so you have to got through amazon every time. This alone, is enough reason for me to shell out the extra $1.
I got swiftkey x for free, but haven't re-installed it because it I didn't back it up, and I don't feel like messing with amazon apps. Just earn the extra dollar at work -it the time spent will pay for itself
Thanks for the heads up, tor new comers about it long time ago , but now I'm no trusting the amazon app store , they rip off developers and i don't think is right

XDA members don't care, they are so cheap there asses squeak when they walk. If they can't get it for free then they don't want it.
I tried the app mentioned earlier and found it more difficult to use. Root Explorer works and it works good. It has been around a long time and is well respected and is well maintained. I also tried a free app called Total Commander which is supposed to have rw abilities, but I found it confusing and hard to use, so I was like f it, I'm just gonna buy Root Explorer. Checked on the Android Market $2.99, then checked on Amazon Appstore and it was on sale for $.99 so I bought it from them.
Not all apps are updated slower on Amazon. I have several Amazon Appstore apps and some of them update faster than the Market apps.
To the guy that says he won't use the Amazon Appstore because they ripoff devs, what are your sources on this? I would be interested in reading where devs have been ripped off.
I honestly think this was one of the very first apps I bought. Can you believe I paid full price? CRAZY!

It sucks for the free app of the day for developers but for the consumers I guess is good, but sometimes you have to think how much work they put into their apps
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
Actually, for a good app, the free app of the day deal is really good for the developer. It's advertising. Imagine, you write an app that is marked $3.99 and hardly anyone buys it so you don't really get any reviews. It hits the free app of the day deal and you get about 200 reviews. If they are positive and talk about how great the app is, when it is no longer free, people are more prone to buy it.
So don't feel too bad for devs on that deal. Without it, their app may never be purchased otherwise.
The only part that pisses me off are the idiots that think any good review of an app *they* don't like means its fake, so instead of rating the app what they truly feel they decide it is their moral imperative to "correct the balance" buy giving a decent app 1-star to counter someone 5-star app they think is fake.

Actually devs get a hefty percentage of the full cost of the app,paid directly from Amazon, when their app is chosen to be the daily free one. It's either 40 or 60 percent, but is usually a HUGE windfall for the developer. Personally, I get the free app every day, even if I have no plans to use them on any device of mine right now. I'm sure I'm not the only one who does that, and most of the time, they're apps I would NEVER have downloaded if they weren't free for me. The developers LOVE the free app system, 'money-in-their-pocket' wise.

Why not purchase the app then navigate to system, data, apps and copy the .apk to your sdcard go back to the market uninstall and get your refund...then go back and install the .apk from your card and voila you have the app. Thats what I do with root access!

See, it's tactics like that that make me want to ***** slap some people. The whole purpose of buying an app is to support the developer and encourage growth. These are not major companies producing these products. They're regular people like you and me with an idea. ****in support them if you like what they're doing.
And their prices are equivalent to a cup of coffee or a beer at the bar. It's not that bad.
As for the .99 for Root Explorer, it's a steal. Go get it! An excellent program for the price of a candy bar.
This may be a bone head old news post, but it's something I just noticed. I usually check for the free amazon app on my phone each morning but forgot to this morning so I checked online. This is when I noticed a "Test Drive" button as pictured below. I havn't had a chance to play with it yet, but wondering if others have and if, in fact, this is nothing new and I just failed to notice.
Nothing new. .. But still good for those that dont want to install the app before hand and see how it is

Actually, this is a goddamn con. Look at it.... you're number 105k. Now the site clearly states they are giving away $100,000 worth of merchandise. That means at $20/unit only the top 5000 people get it. If they include the bogus $10 s&h then that's $30/unit so only 3,333 get one.
Way to give up your info guys. Now they can spam you via email, text AND USPS
its not a con, but it doesnt work like you guys think. It doesn't have a GPS radio in it. I'm guessing but it works via bluetooth only. Any other radio (besides maybe NFC) and it would kill the battery in a matter of hours. On top of that, if you truly lost something that is miles away or further than bluetooth radio, it would only work when other users with the app get near it...which renders it useless because practically no one will have the app.

Agreed. This has NO actual GPS. It uses a crowdsourcing data platform through their app on a nearby device to "pinpoint" the location of the tag. In theory, this could prove very useful if everyone had the app/tags. In reality, until this is ubiquitous, good luck finding a (really) lost item.
On a side note, I'm gonna order up a few of these to use in Search and Rescue operations for field rescuers. They all have smartphones (data) and these can mesh to track where they are/have been. Might work...
