Hey guys,
Are there any (simple)tablet specific apps you guys would really like to see? I'm no star programmer(2nd year software eng. student with no experience before university) and I'm certainly not an android pro(really just got into android development in January) but I'll see what I can do. I've been working on some simple phone apps but I'd really like to get started with some apps for honeycomb.
If there are any fans of theoatmeal.com, I'm thinking my first honeycomb app will just be a simple viewer for his comics. Nothing complicated, just a list of comics on the side, with an image view which you can swipe to change panes in the comic and then some tabs at the top to filter(all, cats, grammar, food, animals, tech - just like on the website). I wish I could work on it this weekend but I'm leaving for my parent's in about half an hour and I don't have my laptop with me(just my galaxy tab 10.1).
Anyway, let me know what you'd like to see.
Automatic about :debug desktop view app.
A deviantart app so I can see images quicker and easier.
that's actually a good idea. It's really frustrating to have to put that in every time. Not sure how to do it exactly, but I doubt it would be too hard.
I've never used deviantart myself but that is something I could look into.
I'm thinking of trying to make an app that can send text messages when connected to a phone via bluetooth. Not sure if it will happen but it should be an interesting project. I was originally planning on doing it with google's push api but that would be more work and probably isn't necessary(do you really want to receive text messages on your tablet when it's not in range of your phone? I wouldn't).
That would be useful. Heck even away from the phone would be useful for many people. When "away" SMS gets forwarded to email or gv.
I believe blackberry playbook has a lot of functionality between phone and tablet. Anything to increase the handshake between android tablet phone would be great. Even if its a chrome2phone style sending a map or website back and forth.
Data recorder
For some reason the 3G watchdog app doesnt work correctly on my galaxy tab 10.1v. A working app designed for the tablet would be nice, unless other people have other suggestions I could try out.

I'm a student and would like to see more apps that I could use like the notebook app for the htc flyer. Something that looks professional and simple. Like having a word document on your tab. There's a few out there but none that are entirely convincing. From what i've heard there are apps for other tabs that can record lectures, have word recognition, among other really awesome things. Assus has a decent app for it too I guess, but i'd like to see it on the galaxy tab 10.1 forsure.

You can turn the word prediction on in keyboard settings for Samsung's keyboard. it's called XT9 prediction. Even the stock honeycomb keyboard does have prediction.
I wasn't entirely convinced by the stock keyboard nor Samsung's keyboard so I bought Thumb Keyboard from the Market. I haven't looked back since
A Flipboard style app would be pretty nice, it's about the only app I miss from my iPad (besides Netflix & HBO Go).

I'm developing an app just for this purpose. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133277
Netflix Netflix and Netflix please
oh and maybe Netflix?
Swype 3.0 is awesome on the SGT, few bugs but great features. I have a challenge for the college student. Create a lockscreen replacement for honeycomb where you can define app shortcuts to place around the unlock circle similar to the unlock icon and drag the smaller circle to each shortcut to launch the app. Similar to sense 3.0 but for honeycomb!

How does this compare to SMSSync? Can you post screenshots?
An app that can read ebooks and comics. Has a notepad feature and has flip page animation for all of them.
A decent effing sports app that has favorite teams, a working widget, and is usable in both portrait and landscape.
I play scramble with friends, draw something, and words with friends with my wife. Are there any of these games on the wp7 marketplace? If not are there third party apps that are like them?

I moved on from my mytouch 4g slide. I cant stand not being able to play games with my friends
There is an app called "Spell it" on the market that is similar to "Words with friends."
"Words By Post Free" is almost identical to Words With Friends and is available on Android, iPhone, and WP7 so you can play all of your friends, despite their platform. "Wordament" (also a free app) is very similar to Scramble With Friends, except you don't play with one person at a time...you compete in a live game against everyone else playing at that moment. Your score determines your ranking and you can see how others scored, common/obscure words, etc. To my knowledge, there is not an app like Draw Something available yet, but there probably will be soon. Hope this helps!
Edit: I have found an app similar to Draw Something--though the reviews note that it is a bit glitchy. Hopefully this will be fixed by future updates. It is called "Draw and Guess."
This is perfect,thank you. Hopefully the windows market market will catch up with the others

Hey Guys,
Does anyone know how to or which keyboards offer word shortcuts? Like for instance on my iPhone when I type "omc" and then space i get the "On my way".
Same way I've setup the word "eid" so whenever i type eid i automatically get my email address inserted.
Cant find any info on this and i refuse to believe that IOS offers this and android doesn't.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Basically this is what i am looking for but for android

Smart keyboard pro. I've just downloaded on play store & have got all my old apple shortcuts saved

This is what you're looking for. Just installed it today. Keyboard shortcuts, and gesture typing!
Gear S is fancy a very portable device. However I discovered one of Tizen limitations while having the watch paired with my Galaxy Note 4 phone.
When I switched the sms app on my phone from the standard app to Google Hangout, then Gear S cannot relay messages from the phone to watch.
I realize this is do to Tizen os and not the phone and that there isn't a work around for this currently.
But theoretically how could you get Tizen OS on Gear S and Google Hangout and an Android phone to talk together?
Yea I'm wondering that as well, I hate the stock samsung message app

Its in many ways an awsome device. Talking to someone on the bus or train via the watch makes people stare. I even experience that after having recieved a call via the device while on train. This young woman approached me afterwards to ask about the device
However I wish some talented programmer could make an Android wear rom for the Galaxy gear S. So we could get rid of that awful Tizen OS.

Agee with that
What I did was delete the stock messaging apk or rename it by adding .bak to the end of the file name. Example xxxxxx.bak.
I then added contact widget for the most frequently text contacts. I read the incoming message then slide screen over the reply from the widget.
I'm really discouraged by the fact I'm locked down on this TIZEN crap. Today I shattered my phone, and could have really used the email app 'cloud magic' (my default mail app) so I could limp mode until I got a new phone. I needed to look at some past emails, no way to do this because the cloud magic app isn't available on tizen.
neither is my viper smart start app.
So, it's either time to replace with mainstream, or hack this thing.
What options do I have ?

Thanks. I did the same thing in that pinch of a moment, but it was cumbersome.
I'd still like to know if 1) I can hack the watch so it can utilize android wear or 2) what android wear watches have the ability to receive texts/emails when host phone is off.
