what internet radio are ya'll using? always been a pandora person but tried slacker and it really works well until u figure out that its in no way free. prefer something that is both PC and Droid based. dont really care to pay a monthly slacker fee, maybe i am just cheap. thanks for all opinions. just dont want to keep creating accounts to try different apps. info is kinda out dated or vague on all searches.
thanks
I love slacker. I use the cache option a lot. Download loads of music from radios stations and play then without a data connection is a big plus for me because I work out in the rural areas where data connections are spotty.

I use last.fm...*yes* I know it's subscription-based, but it's not too much and it's worth it to me. It's more personal than Pandora if you have enough scrobbles...I have five years worth of them, so it knows me real well.
I also use Stitcher for podcasts.
Pretty much set between Google music beta (instantly streaming any of my 8k songs is nice) and Pandora. As long as I have a data connection that is..
Slacker for me. I don't like that they got rid of the "next song coming up" thing, though. (For free at least)

Pandora, TinyShark (links to GrooveShark). Would like to try Google Music Beta.
For a couple hours there was a post in the thunderbolt forum with a modded Pandora app which allowed unlimited skips but was removed.

I love ICS, especially for the small things like the Google Music controls on the lock screen (even the secure lock screens). but, it makes their podcast app Listen look even more dated than it already was.
i know there are quality third part podcasting apps, but you guys think Google will touch this soon? Will they add features like speed control, drag-able organization, and quick controls on the lock screen? Or will they finally integrate podcasts into Google Music?
Anyone have any insight?
As far as I can tell, Listen is dead. A good replacement which I use is Pocket Casts. It's well worth the low price.
BeyondPod has my vote for best podcast Manager.
I just have it use my Google Reader feeds to transition from Listen.

Beyond Pod is what I use as well. Not a real polished app but definitely gets the job done. Easy to setup and can automatically download new podcasts and delte old ones from storage.

What makes BeyondPod so much nicer than Listen? I mean i'm open to paying for a great app and such, but Listen has yet to demonstrate any huge flaws that I've felt the need to replace it.
Very curious what has made others dump Listen/pay for a replacement.
i love listen but since labs has been shut down so is further development of listen. i still use it though. im just very used to it.
Just use Pocket Casts best app on the market for podcasts and they have just amazing support team,,,, amazing support team... I can't say it enough.

I got it for free via Amazon's App Store promotion. However I feel bad for getting it for free now. Apparently, Amazon asked them if they wanted to be a part of the Free promotion; Amazon gave them a bunch of numbers about why this would be good for pocket casts, how it would increase sales overall, yadda yadda yadda. Well after the promotion, they obviously had a TON of new users (all of whom did not pay nor did Amazon pay PocketCasts), but they really did not make any money and instead had to find ways to support all these new users. With that said, I probably never would have downloaded (and tried) the App, so while I didn't specifically give them money, I recommend it all the time and encourage users to buy it. I'm super upset that Google cancelled updates/support for Listen but I can at least hope that 3rd party developers such as pocket casts can cash-in.

So sad that Google doesn't support Listen anymore.
I've tried almost every similar app but I always go back to Listen for one reason: no other app lists podcasts by date/time added.
I hate the way some apps place the number of unlistened items next to the podcast's name, forcing you to check every item individually. I just want a single, chronological list.

Listen was abandoned long before Labs was axed. The affiliated Google Groups page was forsaken by the developers 12+ months ago.
This is especially curious since Google Analytics must show how widely used it is.
Just saw that poweramp is on sale in the market for $1.99. It's normally $4.99. It's a great app to play music for those that don't have it. There's also a trial version available if you're still unsure about it. Gets my approval though :thumbup:

this was one of the better usic players that I found awhile back. But sadly when I got into Google Music Beta it just no longer was worth it anymore. If the music players could add the option to use Google Music I would most likely start to use some of them again (I hate having to keep music on my phone at all times to just use the music player)

I agree. Im solely using Google Music now, so I opted to not buy PowerAmp, even though I love it. Useless since I dont like storing music on my phone. My entire 50gb music library is on Google Music. If only it could play my Google music somehow, then that would be beast!!!
Is it still on sale? I already own it so I can't see the price. Want to give a heads up to a friend if it still is

Does anyone know of a way to use streaming google music content with another app? I really like having all my music on google music (although I wish there were more features, especially with the manager). I would really like to have my streaming music in a better made app like poweramp, but I dont know if its possible.
I read about a month ago that Google was releasing the Music API. At the moment its Gmusic stream and nothing else from what I understand...
thank you for your reply. I have come to the same conclusion, but I figure I'd throw it on the forums

I have two incredibles Verizon branded. What can I do with them? I use att now. So reactivating them isn't really on the to do list. I've looked into rooting and flashing and seems a bit more complex than with my Samsung captivate. If there is something really neat I could use it for it might be worth the trouble. Ideas? Anyone wanna help a fella out?

You could use them as an mp3 player, use wifi only and play games and surf the net, or download a gps app that stores the maps locally since you don't have service on them.

I know the GPS is much better than on the cappy I use now so there is a wonderful idea. I wonder if I could use it for data logging on my motorcycle. Like as a accurate speedometer (with delay for changes in speed) a way to log top speed and as a HD video recorder. Do you have any suggestion as to which GPS nav software to use?

I would do this, and use it as a dev phone for testing (or learning how to compile, if you don't know how) ROMs.

The only navigation app I know off the top of my head that store maps locally is navigon. I have never used it and I see mixed reviews for it.
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda app-developers app
As I have 0 programming knowledge for computers at this time and with God's good grace starting school for it in the winter quarter it does interest me however I fear by the time I am proficient enough the development of this phone and thereby this thread will be long dead. I do want to root the phone and perhaps install a ROM that removes everything but the core of what it needs to operate and a very few apps. As I have two I could use one for GPS/MP3 duty for the motorcycle. So all I'd need is the basic operating system wifi a MP3 downloaded and a good local GPS software. I would think that the GPS software alone would take quite a bit of space.

CoPilot GPS stores its maps on your sdcard (North America maps take up about 1.3 Gb) and does a mostly acceptible job of navigating without using mobile data. The free version is a bit crippled, but what do you expect for free? Street address searches and POI searches also work well even without mobile data, ideal for a non-activated phone.
Another app I use sometimes is Navfree USA. It uses Open Street Maps, so they can be hit or miss. Also, searching by street addresses is mostly broken (Open Street Maps doesn't seem to handle postal codes well). Maps are downloaded state-by-state.
So what can be removed without destroying the os? I need only GPS functions bluetooth WiFi and audio.
Perhaps gmail and the play store. Unless I can use the play store without gmail. Is there a ROM I can flash that is already slimmed way down.

I probably wouldn't remove to much. This is what I am going to do to this phone when my contract runs out with Verizon and I switch to sprint. I'm going to run cm7, which has already been suggested and use the wifi only script which can be found here:

Removing any system apps or parts of the os won't get you anymore space for storage since those are in the system partition.

Looks like an app I may pay for. Even if im not on a track it will still help as there are a few places on my commute I tend to open up and ride hard. Makes my ride home quicker. Seems it could also be used to log top speed and 1/4 mile times. So a lot of useful features.

Hey does anyone have issues with streaming Pandora? My issue is that my phone seems to just stop Pandora. No force close message or anything. And I've reinstalled, cleared cache and data etc. It happens on AOSP and stock. I've got the D851 variant. It's terribly frustrating. Also was just listening to it and got a SOD. I had to pull the battery. Weird. Just wondering if other people experience it also. :banghead:
Sent from my LG-D851 using XDA Free mobile app
Use Spotify. I think it's better than Pandora and it's also free.
I guess I should have clarified that I am totally aware there's a TON of different music streaming services. I don't want to really make it a thread about that. I've used all of them and just don't find that any of them match Pandoras algorithm for matching music to what you want to hear. IMHO.
