Does anyone know of an app that will keep a database specifically of vinyl record albums?
Thanks.
collectorzdotcom has a music collector program that comes with an app for your phone. i know all it talks about are cds but i put my vinyl in there as well
That is fantastic and exactly what I was looking for. It's just sometimes you're in a store looking at some vinyl and you really can't remember if you have something or not. Thanks!
Now I just wish I could try it on my phone instead of paying $11.00.
Mobilismdotorg go to android then software. Someone posted it

New Android Discogs App
You should try this app which was released last week. The App contains all the Discogs features : manage collection / wantlist, advanced search, barcode scanner, release suggestion, etc.
We have very good feedback from the users. As of today it\'s the best rated Discogs App on the Google Play Market, and we continue to work on it to make is even better.
Please look for MyDiscogs on the Google Play !
So i like to try new apps all the time and I'm making this topic the way we can share apps for new and old members, maybe is an app you never use before and you guys can try it out and same for me alright so let's start
Read it later, I believe 99cents in the market
Really great app, what it does is if you are in the web browser reading and article, press menu / share and add to read it later, it will save the whole article with pictures but no adds the way you can read it later when you have time use this app in daily basis and is one of my favorites

Tweetdeck for Android / free
Nice app for Twitter and facebook, I don't check Facebook often so this keeps me in the loop about Facebook updates, you can also comment as well, in the Twitter side it supports twitlonger, translate, etc. Anyone with tweetdeck on the computer will definetely check this out

Acar/ free and pro version available
Really cool app to keep track of gas mileage and check ups for your car, I try no to use it daily lol, but is really good and can tell you how many miles you getting per gallon , and more info about your car, really cool I been using for almost a year now

Appbrain/ free
Great app to see recomendations base on your curently installed apps and if you link it to your Google account it will memorize what apps you have downloaded before by device, actually helps a lot sometimes when you switch phones or you flash a lot of roms , use it daily as well

I'll take a shot at this. This is not any any particular order. Just the order that it popped up in my head as i thought about this.
1. Google Music (free) - google music is one of the handiest apps that I have. I'm able to access all 15,000+ songs in my library remotely, and my computer doesn't have to be on. I used an app called subsonic before, but it required you to run your computer as a server which meant your computer had to be on. With Google music, you upload it to their servers once, and then you can access your music from any mobile device/computer. the downside of this service, though, is that it takes a long long long time to upload. perhaps it got better since i first used it but just know that it'll take a few days to upload anything if you have a large library of music
2. Pandora (free) - If you ever get bored of your own music and you're looking for new artists, pandora is great. I'm sure you already know about this service and everything they do already, but one of the things I really like about pandora is that the sound quality of their songs are pretty great. sounds good when i'm biking with my headphones on or if I plug it in the auxiliary. I always catch myself being impressed with the quality.
3. Power Amp ($5) - my last recommendation having to do with music. This is a great music player with lots of customization and sound control. You can't go wrong with buying this app. I especially enjoy the ability to fade in and fade out of songs when i'm skipping through them. pay for it and support the devs that put the time into this app because he definitely deserves it. free trial is also available.
4. Netflix (free with subscription) - Why wouldn't you get this if you already have a netflix instant account. free app plus you get the entire netflix library from wherever you are. I've been having some A/V sync issues with it lately but i haven't tested the new update. I'm sure they'll get it all straightened out in time. I have definitely been waiting for this app for quite some time and I'm just really thankful we have it now.
5. DoggCatcher ($7) - This is a bit pricey but if you listen to a lot of podcasts, this is the best app by far. keeps everything very neat and organized. does a lot of cool automatic stuff like only downloading podcasts when you're on wifi, or when you're on wifi and charging. This also supports Presto ($4) which allows you to listen to podcasts at variable speeds.
6. Amazon appstore for Android (free) - You can't get this on the market but just google it and get it on your phone because they give you a free app everyday. it's like woot for apps on your phone but it's free. the free apps can be very crappy or very good. Another plus is that all app purchases, free or paid, are linked to your amazon account so you own them forever.
7. Paypal app (free) - My friends and I always cover each other for food and expenses and this app makes it easy to pay each other back. Requires you to have a paypal account linked to you checking account but as good as cash itself. BTW, make sure you link it to your checking account and not your credit card or else you will get transaction fees. no fees when you use your checking. Also, the app comes with a bill splitter so you can easily split bills, even if it's not split evenly.
8. Handscent (free) - I use this app over the default texting app with the metallic theme. Looks nice and you can also do a lot of customization. my favorite thing is the quick reply texting feature.
9. Alarm Clock Plus (free with ads. $2 ad free) - alarm clock that's a lot like other alarm clocks in the market but i like that when it goes off, you can change the snooze timer right after you hit it instead of setting the snooze before you sleep. sometimes, i just want 10 more minutes of sleep.
10. Thumbkeyboard (one of amazon's free apps but about $3 on the market) - keyboard is really based on your preference but i like some of the layouts for this keyboard. It was weird at first but i found myself typing really fast using the "split - Compact layout" with a lot less spelling errors and autocorrect errors"
1) ES File Explorer
Allows easy access to every file on your phone as well as access to LAN connected computers to easily transfer files over WIFI. Does everything you'd want a file explorer to do including everything Root Explorer does.
2) Ringo Lite (or Pro)
Allows you to change not only the ringtone for individual contacts, but also the SMS notification sound for contacts as well. Many different apps do the former, but this app is the only one I know of that can do the latter.
3) Voodoo Control (or Plus)
Tweaks the sound system on Galaxy S phones to be more on par with a true audiophile experience. Allows crystal clear headphone amplification far beyond the phones meek default levels. Under MIUI/CM7, also controls the color settings for the screen allowing black and white level tweaking and color balancing. If your kernel doesn't support it, the plus version will give you access anyway.
4) SetCPU
Voltage tweaking program that has allows for the creation of profiles. Common profiles are screen off or low battery settings that reduce CPU levels to conserve battery. Works well for undervolting and overclocking the CPU as well as changing around the governors. See my signature for my own personal settings after hours of tweaking.
5) Stopwatch & Timer
Self explanatory, simple program.
6) Swiftkey X (paid app, price varies in the $2 to $3 range)
Keyboard that not only predicts the current word with great accuracy, but the more you use it, the more often it correctly predicts the next word, and the word after that. After a month or two of use it will frequently predict entire sentences correctly beginning from only a couple letters. An excellent keyboard for those who prefer being correct over being lightning fast.
I can't even keep it to 10. I think all the Google apps are must haves for Android, Google Music, YT, G+, GVoice, Maps, Chrome To Phone, Docs, etc, so I won't include them in my list; which is in no particular order.
Zeam Launcher
Twitter
Pulse
GPS Status
Barcode Scanner
Gentile Alarm
PicSay Pro
Quick Pic Gallery
SGS Kernel Flasher (although I'm pretty settled now)
Swype Installer for Beta
Postagram
Evernote
Handcent
I'll add one, almost, guilty pleasure app: TV Listings. I don't watch much tv, but when I do, I check out the listings here instead of my cable box.
While I like and have most of these, they are mostly "tweaker" apps (no pun intended). What about some fun apps? Games, videos, themers...
One of the apps that isn't in the above list that I have is Moboplayer. It is an HD video player that has decent GUI but great video res and playback. My video player of choice.
Another one is ZipThemer. It lets you take downloaded metamorphs and cluster whatever grouping you want and packages it into a nice clean single update.zip. It also creates an undo.zip in case what you made doesn't turn out like you thought it would. I've used it on other phones and it works on vibrant too. Can piecemeal your own theme by taking pngs and xmls from others and creating your own customization.

Hello everyone been searching For a while, for an app, to send video files, of at least 50mb,from Android to android. My wife and I both have galaxy s3,s,but going on the play market, it's a jungle, and most of those apps, cant seem to push past 10mb. The reason, I need this is app, is because I work away from home, and most contact with the family and kids, is by video and picture messeging, so any advise, and recommendations is very much welcome.
Every day i wake up to my phones built in alarm clock. i usually check the weather once a day with it. i get on facebook/twitter. when i go to the gym i use the key card app to sign in. then use my phone as mp3 player. IM constantly shazamming new songs, then downloading them. i also check my checking account daily with it. if i need to take a pic, its there. constantly using the maps as GPS.
basically what IM saying is i use my phone for everything in my life now, and still feel like there is more i could be using it for. Just wondering what some other people are constantly using there phone for besides the basic phone usage.
I use mine to check and respond to all of my emails. Check my bank accounts, transfer money if I need to. Schedule classes for college. I bought a bluetooth keyboard that I use to type some of my papers on. I sketch some of my designs for stuff I want to make.
However, I still feel that sometimes I spend too much time modding it to make it the "coolest" or most aesthetically pleasing phone, that I never get the chance to actually use it the most of its abilities. I feel you on this one OP.
I have a lot of music videos so I use it as an in dash in my car
A flash light
Navigation/GPS
Music player

i also just bought a pebble watch to pair it with, i also seen the other night on shark tank where i will be able to buy my dead bolt for my house with bluetooth enabled locking. where when i walk up to my house with my phone it will automatically unlock.
I am always looking for ways of using my phone for more and more. And why not, we should all be doing it. It makes sense right? We have forked over a considerable amount of money for this phone, whether in the form of green cash or by signing a contract and paying for it over the months to come. Folks have worked hard, many for no other reward then to make a successful free app. They have toiled to make our device into soo many things. Life would go on without my phone, but it would change drastically.
Alarm wakes me up.
I check the weather.
I browse through emails picking out important ones.
(all before getting out of bed)
I dock it in bathroom and listen to news in the shower
I look up whats on the menu for this morning at the cafeteria at my work to decide if I want that or something from home.
I listen to slacker on my drive to work
No signal at my desk, so I listen to music on and off at work
I use it for its calender to keep tabs on things
When I am up and out of the office, I use it to assist in wireless scans.
I use it for work email when not at my desk.
I keep an eye on it for folks broadcasting private hotspots (prohibited at my work)
I go outside at lunch to the outdoor eatery and browse FB, multiple forums via tapatalk, and so on.
After I get off, I walk do to the gym for a workout before leaving. there I use it for music and tracking my workouts.
Afterwards, I call the wife on my way across the parkinglot to see how her day went.
Get in truck, some more FB for a few minutes, then slacker as I head to pick up kids.
If I'm feeling creative, I have apps that help me pick whats for dinner and how to cook it.
I then goof around on forums on and off through the night and read a plethora of aricles I've been meaning to catch up on with Pocket (formerly read it later)
Kids want to watch some cartoon, why look for remote, I have google TV Revue box, will use the remote app.
On top of all that dailey use stuff I also:
Take hundreds of pictures a week
Read ebooks/PDFs
Practice for tech exams with test sims and "studyblue"
Watch movies while traveling or waiting on appointments
Use the flashlight feature (awesome easy on King Kang)
Remote access to my home server for music, movies, pictures, and other files
Kick off torrents to my home machine remotely
Remote view home security cameras
Use "MyTracks" to map my weekend hikes and cycling
Oh and lets not forget the hours of Temple Run and other games while in the bathroom.
More that I can think of...
Navigation on trips
jump drive
porn
What key card app are you using op
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Me? Kind of.
I use my phone for e-mails, pdfs, documents, internet activity, etc.
However, the iPad I have...now that is pretty much just an e-book reader. Explains why I'll be listing it on eBay shortly!
I have a couple app suggestions to get more use:
Llama - to automate your phone for example when I connect my headphones the music player opens and volume turns up, when I disconnect them the volume goes down
Super video- allows you to do the pop up videos like on the gs3 so you can do other things while watching a video (great for listening to music videos
Go sms pro - really cleans up the messaging interface much better than stock
Also if your running out of battery, I bought 3 batteries and a charger for like 15 bucks

there are so many uses for this device, there are not enough hours in the day, so I have to say no.
Also...we have a S-Pen which most of us forget about.
-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke
NOTE user:
"take a deep breath, make sure to get a good look at it, relax and slowly take it in, the size is overwhelming at first but you will have a happy ending afterwards".

Drawl something, screen shot then edit, and one or two other things. It's a nice to have when needed feature, but I really havnt come to rely on it yet. Perhaps I need to play with it a little more.
s-pen is good for people to sign a receipt(square or intuit) looks more like real signiture then using finger so they cant say it was forged. and just seems more profesional then signing with your finger
