Motorola Droid : Apps For Phone That Are WORTH Paying For?
Dec 3, 2009
I haven't paid for any apps yet though I have bought smartphone apps in the past, plenty actually (former Crackberry user). The thing that I love about the Android platform is that there's so many choices for anything you can think of in terms of everyday use and the free versions are actually good and well maintained.
With that all said and done, what are some apps for the Motorola Droid that you feel are worth my money? So far I've considered a few...
1. Beautiful Widgets (Love the clock look + it has weather which I like and toggle buttons for wi-fi/gps/etc)
2. Abduction (free version is fantastic so just to support the developer I'm considering getting the paid version)
3. GDE/Dxtop, haven't decided which I want, but I will be trying them out individually before I decide on a purchase, the moto droid forum seems pretty split on which is better/more stable.

I just downloaded the trial version of Poweramp and it looks really cool. But before I pay for it I was wondering if it was worth the money or is there a free music player that is better or as cool as Poweramp?

Is there a way to pay for apps with something like paypal, like BB or does it just go straight to your bill?

The title says it all: has anyone had any experience with Worth Ave phone insurance?Googling doesn't turn up very many discussions of the insurance, however it does look pretty good on paper.If you've had an experience with in, please give some details. What did you insure? How much did you pay? Did you have to make any claims? If so, how did the claims process go, and what was the result? Have you noticed anything about Worth Ave insurance that you think may go unnoticed if not looking closely Any and all information is helpful.

Whilst looking at an app demo on youtube, the presenter gave an off the cuff remark that from July this year ALL apps for android were going to be purchase only.Is this true?

I have a Droid which is also my first smart phone.I have downloaded some free apps but I have a question about apps you pay for. How does this work? Do you use Paypal or a similar service? Does the price of the app get applied to your Verizon bill?

What applications might soon be available once they can charge for them? Personally, I wouldn't mind paying for few- if they were worth it. I'm kinda anxious to get some good apps. Also, does anyone know when these new apps might start rolling out?

This may sound dumb, but in couldn't search the answer (partly cause I don't know how to phrase it)I've finally got the courage to root my hero, but I don't know how to get my paid apps again without having to pay for it again. I just assumed because it was associated with my email, google would have the record on file?
any help is appreciated.

I was wondering if someone could confirm one way or another if I can use my paypal account to pay for apps?
I'm just about to get a desire and don't have a google checkout account and would rather keep online financial details to a minimum.

With new apps coming out all the time now I thought the forum could use this Thread. Just found and downloaded BUZZDECK app. This is a app that kinda makes a lot of individual apps obsolete because they can all be in this app. Buzzdeck updates you on subjects such as Technology, celebrities,news ,funny stuff etc. It also allows you to add your own cards like every and any social networking sites. Its in beta and its free. I love it already,check it out. Add your finds here.

Ok. First things first, I am simply in love with my Droid. I learn new things everyday. For example, yesterday i took a picture on a trip, and on the ride home, went to look at the picture in my gallery, and under the picture it read Dayton, Ohio. It knew where I took the picture!
Anyways enough of my droid love, i've got some questions for you droid gurus.
1. I want to root my phone so badly. Im afraid of it bricking though. But the thing is, ive done a lot of research, and it seems bricking hardly ever happens. I want to overclock and i really want some kick ass ROMS! Should i do on pc or my pro?
2. My screen, when closed, when you tap on the screen near the lower left corner, the screen taps. Like the screen is loose. I wanna take it to verizon. But i wanna root. But i want my warranty still usable.

Just curious for an opinion or two I've been tempted to download Open Home from Better Android because of all their cool icons, skins, and other things. At the same time, I see comments about it slowing down the phone significantly or causing all sorts of forced closes, etc.Are most people using and liking Better Android apps? I've got an HTC Dream, so I'm on the old operating system. Not sure if that makes a difference.

I have a serve case of adhd. and i do not want to BRICK my phone. I met a guy at my store who had a rooted cyanogenmod 6. ON his EVO. So now I want it. So I found a guy to do if for 20. Says he can't go lower in price because he uses a program that he pays a membership for. Is this legit or not?

I did a factory reset last week after reading some of the posts about it here. I had some lag issues, and the Verizon tech also suggested that. I also did the *228 tip to reprogram the phone as was suggested. It was OK for a few days, but I'm having similar problems again. Before I go to Verizon, I thought I'd list them here and see what you good folks thought.
1) I still get terrible lag from time to time, and at all different times. I know that when I'm trying to do something with the battery low (under 25% lets say), its slow, but I chalk that off as understandable.
2) Sometimes when I send a text message out, I see that it takes at least 5 minutes to get sent. During this time, I do notice that time in the notification bar is anywhere from 3 to 5 minutes behind. Then, after a few minutes, catches back up to be in sync with the time shown on the HTC Sense widget on my home screen. BTW, that frozen time has occurred when the phone is just sitting there, not necessarily during a text message being sent, so SOMETHING is bogging it down.
3) Sometimes, and this has been increasing over the last few days, when I try to type something, either in a text message or in someone's contact info, I get the text box up and the virtual keyboard, but no text shows up at all when I'm typing. I see the characters that pop up, but nothing ends up in the text box. I have to exit out of that app and try again later. Very frustrating when you're trying to text someone and you have to wait 5-10 minutes to do it.
4) I know about the battery issues and how poor the battery life is. I've tried to remedy that by only checking my email, Twitter, and Facebook once per hour, but my battery still drains pretty fast. Today, for example, I took the phone off of the charger @ 7:30am. It was at 28% left @ noon! Granted, some of the issues that I describe above were going on and probably had a lot to do with that (clock lagging behind, texts taking 5 minutes to go out), but still, almost 75% of the battery gone after only 4 hours SUCKS! I've done the usual remedies (power the phone down then back on; battery pull; factory reset last week, etc.). It seems to help for a very short period of time but reverts back to the problems I describe above. So, is a trip to Verizon in my future? If they replace it, is a refurb acceptable to get? I've read varying stories ranging from "my refurb works like a charm" to "my refurb has the same issues as my old phone". I don't want to inherit the same problem, or someone else's problem. Am I basically stuck here until my "new every 2" is up in November 2011?

I remember seeing apps in the market that you could install to have your Droid look like the Hero or iPhone.Specifically the lock screen.I was just wondering if there are any apps yet to make your Droid look like the Incredible?Not just the lock screen,but in general.

Just curious, I ordered a new Droid X and it will be here in couple of days and I wanted to know if I can either uninstall my paid apps from my original Droid and then install them onto my Droid X or is there a way to move them over to my new X. I only have a few paid apps. Documents to Go Pro, Weather Bug Elite, Remote VNC Pro, but didn't want to have to pay for them again, if they can be moved over.

My Droid seems to be running a little slow/hesitant. If readers can list apps that have slowed there Droids down maybe I can catch the culprit.
