I know there are quite a few app threads, but instead of searching through them all (and some of them are pretty long) I'm hoping to get some help in an easy to find place.I'm traveling next week for work but plan on doing some sightseeing and that kind of stuff as well. What apps out there would be cool and/or useful to have while you're traveling?

View 3 Replies View RelatedSo I'll be in Mexico for a bit, and would like to have the phone for emergencies and to occasionally text - but I want to avoid data charges. Will upchucking "data roaming" and "enable always on mobile data" under mobile networks do that? I called and asked Verizon, but the guy I got was completely clueless.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm having some call quality issues but they're mainly on the other end of the line. Those I'm speaking to are picking up some static/background noise. I really don't have any complaints with the call quality on my end. Also, I've noticed it seems to be worse when I'm in the car traveling. If I'm at home and make a call, others tell me the call is clear. Anyone else experience a similar scenario?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a G1 phone and I am very often traveling outside the US. I am a little confused with the solutions that exist for using Wifi access to call while outside the US. My question is: what is the most cost efficient way to call with my G1 while outside the US using access to Wifi and without roaming? A typical scenario would be that I am in France or in the UK, and I want to call a local number or a cell phone number in either of these countries but don't want to roam to avoid huge bills. I have access to Wifi most of the time when in France or in the UK.

View 10 Replies View RelatedOn the Captivate for AT&T, is there a way to set up call forwarding to my home number BEFORE I travel to another country? When travelling I don't want my phone to ring or else i'd get charged international roaming rates for the voicemail if one is left, so I need any incoming calls to go immediately straight to my home phone without the call reaching the Captivate while i'm abroad. While i'm overseas I use my phone for text messaging, no voice to save money. I do this with my Palm Treo Pro all the time when travelling, set up the network so that the call immediately gets forwarded to my home number.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have my original gmail account "slaved" to my google apps account, so when I log in to user@gmail.com it displays my google apps user@domain.com as being logged in. For most things this is great, but now with the android phone there are some gotchya's First was the Market. I had to create yet another gmail account to buy anything off the market, because when I sign in to my 'gmail' account on my phone it signs me in as an apps user.
Second, is my google voice (attached to gmail) has its own set of contacts associated with my gmail account, and they are not synced with my google apps account. I was hoping the phone would sort of mesh them together, however I'm not seeing that. On my iPhone I was using soocial, however they recently stopped allowing unlimited contacts and their new free limit is below my number of contacts. Is there a way for the phone to keep these to contact lists "connected" and synced together?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am trying to figure out what the advantage is to installing to the SD rather than to built in storage.Since my phone has 8GB of internal storage, apps are small, and videos/music are big, wouldn't it make more sense to install the apps to the internal memory, and store media to a 32GB micro sdhc?

ES File Explorer

Google Goggles
Google Maps Update
Golf Channel
Movies (app)
PKT Auctions Ebay
ShopSavvy
TMZ

What about you?
We are all desperately waiting for the Incredible to come out. This excess amount of time has given me an opportunity to seek out which apps I will eventually download.
-Where's my Droid
-Pandora
-Google Goggles
-Gameboid
-PDAnet
Are apps only stored on SD or are they on internal or both?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI wanted to know why certain apps just start up on their own. To clarify, I'm not talking about apps that start up on boot up. I referring to ones that start at random. For example, every so often Pandora will start playing even though it was on pause. This has happen when I'm in another app. So there is no way that I pressed on the Pandora app to play. In addition, when I try to kill apps that are running in processes. Their will be some that I have not opened that day or in a while. I going through Astro and try killing apps that I don't need to use on a regular bases. Does anyone have any ideas?
