Lately all I use my phone for is open xda facebook messaging and couple of phone calls. All these tasks can be done even by a 3 yrs old htc inspire...what is your opinion? Anybody feels you do not need such an advanced phone cuz all u do is some browsing and phone calls?
Same here but my reason to buy a phone is for benchmarks ... it fills the void knowing that I have no friends to text ...

I text, send the occasional call, check the weather and Facebook, use pulse to catch up on mobile and real world news, browse the Internet, I have around fifteen games on my phone that either currently play or have played through, I take pictures, listen to my music collection, stream pandora, use my Google Calendar and Gmail, and check up on the occasional XDA thread! So yeah, I'm happy I have all this horsepower and whatnot haha But different strokes for different folks!

Typical day consists of a few texts,xda,eBay,email, don't chat much on the phone, dont do the twitter/facebook social network thing(kinda private)music during workouts, no movies, occasional YouTube stream, and Real Driving 2 on my down time.

Little bit of everything, but mostly for Twitter and Kik (girlfriend doesn't have unlimited text but she has data).
Everything includes:
- XDA
- other Tapatalk stuff (Electronic Cigarette Forum)
- calculator for adjusting what wattage I want on my Provari ecig, and for other simple calculations
- playing P90X workout videos
- boxing timer when at gym
- email
- Google Voice for Craigslist purchases
- news (Flipboard)
- printing (HP Home & Biz)
- Pandora when sleeping
- Reddit (before sleeping)
Storm Chasing!!!
And a host of other stuff as well!

I use it to check the facemachine once a week and read from xda once every couple days. I text more then call in my personal life and call guys I work with a lot at work, my work phone sucks and is slow so I use the personal for everything but calling customers (cable guy). I think most of my time is spent just reading the BBC and other news or googling somthing. Occasionally I'll put something on netflix or spotify when I'm in the garage working on something. I guess it's unnecessary for me to have all the power and Ubuntu installed on it but I dig it. Makes up for my lack of manhood the same as people who buy ridiculous things like 200bhp lawnmowers and AR15's with night vision scopes for deer hunting.

Texting, which I used to do for free on gvoice and now pay $60 a month for... Maps so I don't have to ask for directions. Car data logging. Taking pictures. Looking up sports scores.

I'm a pharmacist and use my phone at work a lot for quick access to drug information and whatnot. Theres a lot of great apps and carrying a phone is way easier than carrying a textbook
All kinds of stuff. I take full usage of my data plan....and plan in general. I average around 4-5 hours per day on-screen time. So yeah, a lot!

Check email, watch videos, text, accept credit card payments, make calls, show times, check sport scores, navigation, play games, listen to music, video chat, take photos, check weather, language translator, Facebook, note taking, barcode scanning, remote desktop, eBay, caller id faker, manage bank account, pandora . Lists goes on and on.
I sell cell phone accessories at the swap meets so the galaxy 3 comes in real handy. I go to phonescoop and androidcentral to see what phones are coming out. I already have cases for the iPad mini and I touch 5.

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)
Sent from my Droid Incredible running a random CM7 nightly.
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.

So my SD is toast . I'm having difficulty choosing whether stream my music from the cloud in Google play music or carry around my iPod. I just want people's opinions
Bring the mp3 player. It'll save you a ton of battery since your phone won't have to stream and play music.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Depends on your usage, data plan, ability to charge, et cetera.
I would probably just get a cheap sd card and use that. I've ditched my ipod ever since I popped an sd card in my phone - no extra gadget to lose track of. But I only use it 20-60 minutes a day, so it's not that significant.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
If you're planning on playing music all day then the ipod is probably better, but play music gets me through my daily commute to and from work... Ditched other media players since I got my s3

Just wondering what a good video chat app like facetime for android?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
I've tried Gtalk, pretty decent, haven't tried any other apps, but people mentioned Tango works well too.
yahoo chat works on this phone.
gtalk/Google hangout works pretty well.. There's Skype obviously.. The usual tango..
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
I use Gtalk/Google hangout and tango. I like Google hangout because I can video chat more than one person at the same time.
Tango is easy to use but limited to 1 on 1. Also if you are thinking about installing Tango, keep in mind that Tango has very annoying bug that changes your phone's in-call volume randomly to max and on each reboot.

The only one that I love and use now with the Note 2 and the 25 meg download speed of Tmobile is Skype. My daughter talks to her grandparents almost every day on it and it beats firing up the spare computer which is now collecting dust.
Just curious. I see very few reasons to use this feature. I just hold home for to seconds and hop back and forth. Or copy and paste. What do you guys love it for?

Is it too late to modify the topic before it's flooded with tons of useless pics showing 2 apps running? No offense, but it's an idea as pointless as posting home screens or telling which color phone you bought.
Perhaps we would all be helped by elaborating on, "how have you gotten the most use or productivity using mw"

When I'm editing files on my phone per instructions of a developer, it is nice to have both root explorer open as well as a screen shot from gallery illustrating what needs to be done so I don't have to keep closing and opening the file editing app.

I find it makes it easier to copy text from an app (like browser) into an SMS/email etc without switching back and forth. Don't use it a lot but when i do use it, it's very useful and works very well.
For me it solves the problem of YouTube shutting down whenever the app is not in use. I listen to a lot of music there and many videos aren't even videos but just images with the audio playing. Now I fire up youtube in 1 section and open the browser or whatever else in the other and maiximize its size.
I use it while doing Google chat with people while also Web browsing.

I tried enabling multi-window to use with any apps but it's not working. Anyway I'd use it for a lot of multi-tasking, like watching a Netflix documentary and taking notes, or playing a game and watching a video, etc. Mostly media/texting.
Ditto on LastPass.
