Hey guys,
I was kinda bored and i asked myself: What do those guys do with their device?
So i kinda posted a new thread.
Please share what you do with your device.
Im using my herald for work. Appointments, notes, TomTom. All that kinda stuff.
Moderators, you can make this sticky if you want. It's just a thought.
I use it for the phone and the calender (PI8) and the camera and the alarm clock (SPB time) and the generally customizable awesomeness so i can change what i use it for whenever i want.
THAT was a lot of "and".
I used my phone (and hope to use it again because of bricking) for lots of stuff. The most important issue is the phones basic features communication (of course) SMS, the phone itself, recieving Emails trough my private Wlan, also to-do-lists and appointment planning.
Second comes the awefull translator from plecosoft Chinese<->English with character recognition, I think it's a MUST for every chinese language student.
Another funny gimmick for university is to control your laptop through the Herald via Bluetooth. Great for Powerpoint, cause the Herald's touchscreen acts like a computer mouse.
Oh, I forgot Mortplayer for Mp3's and my favorite Video-Podcasts (tough you have to transcode them before viewing).
I use mine to pick up chicks.

I would have never thought of that, but that's a great idea. I use my phone for a lot of texting, gaming, music, movies, internet surfing, and weather updates.
I use my phone for work, ie... contacts and appointments; I also flash about once a week for cool customizations. I try and keep up on all the coolest apps to show off to my friends that paid for a "locked" iphone.
i use it for work and fun i also use it to my laptop as a modem
does tom tom work for the wing?
I use it to do lots of things, the least of which is use it as a phone ahaha.
It's more of a mobile internet and news source for me, I have some games on it (Guitar hero etc)
And I like customizing my themes
It all has to match
Which is pissing me off cuz I don't have the time to make a nice mobile shell theme
All kinds of things
For work: Exchange Push Email/contacts/calendar, Google Maps, VPN access (OpenVPN), Remote Desktop and SSH (Pocket PuTTY), SMS/MMS for network monitoring alerts. Mileage and expense tracking. And voice calls.
Personal: Checks 4 email accounts, weather radar, games, checkbook/cash tracking, stream XM Radio via Internet, MP3 player, severe weather alerts via SMS/MMS. And voice calls.
Watching porn... jk
Use it for a bit of everything

weather radar you say? =o
on the internet or a program? *finding...*
Hmmm...
Good question... Here are the things that immediately jump to mind:
Internet browsing
E-mail
Weather
Streaming talk radio
Telnet / SSH / RDP
TomTom / G.Maps / Live for Navigation
WiFi Site Surveys
Fring for VoIP / IM
Contact and Calendar sync
Remote Control and Notification for LinuxMCE Media / Security Network
And, occasionally, I even make or receive a phone call or SMS...
Ive been looking around for a service like (my phone)
And here is what i did come up with.
www.dashwire.com
Its also a small app that installs on your wm enabled device.
And does the same trick as the latter from MS.
But it does more.
You can log on to your account and browse.
Videos
Pictures
Send realtime sms ! SMS chat !
you can browse your ringtones, and listen to them.
Also you can set a ringtone as primary.
The sync works in both ways, so if you add a contact. your phone will be updated too.
I love this app, and i wanted to share it with you all.
Hi all,
Will be hopefully picking up my Desire HD tomorrow or Friday and wondering if someone could point me in the right direction for:
1) Live streaming Radio App. I want to be able to stream a live radio station in MP3 (and if poss, AAC+ formats) directly (when I mean directly, enter the URL of the stations stream, not via a thrid party). Also, can anyone confirm that any one of these particular apps will definately support streaming from a Shoutcast server.
2) Is there an app (im sure there is) that will allow me to use MSN chat?
3) Are there any FTP apps out there, I sometimes need to up/download small files via FTP.
4) Skype. Is there a Skype client for Android? I currently use Fring that covers this and also my point number 2.
5) Mail. What is a good email app for POP accounts and have it check every 10 or 15 mins and notify me of any new emails?
Finally, what is the opinion on the battery performance, I know there is another thread going on about it, but with reasonably high usage throughout the day, will it get me from 7AM to 6PM without failing?
Thanks for your time!
I've been googling around about running Skype on Android and can confirm that there is a mobile version of Skype for Android smartphones
Here's a list of FAQs on "How do I use Skype on my Android phone"

Hey
Anyone managed to get video chats on the A7 ?
Tried Skype, Mercury (Msn Messenger client),and OoVoo.
i am not able to get video support.
I get my side of video on OOVOO.
Any luck ?
Skype did not develop Video Calls for Android yet
p.s. Fring works, but quality is worst. Got link between A7 and Toshiba AC-100
Yahoo messenger works just fine with the yahoo plugin for video and voice chat.

I haven't been able to get the video portion of yahoo messenger to activate. I downloaded the plugin, but video is grayed out and not an option.
Running Dexter v1.2
Yahoo Messenger v1.3.2
Yahoo Messenger Voice and Video Plugin v1.3.2
You need to use the latest yahoo messenger for windows 10.

Use a windows application on an Android device... and intended for a version of windows that won't be released for somewhere around six years?
I don't get what your itching at here.
I have the same version of yahoo messenger and the plugin on the tablet like yours and the yahoo messenger 10 on my PC and I can do video chat between my PC and the tablet easily. The reason you need yahoo messenger 10 on the PC is because the android version of yahoo messenger disables the video chat feature when it detects the other side running an older version and as well the format of the video stream is only supported by yahoo messenger 10 on the PC and the android version.

Pretty sure his commented was in regards to the windows 10
Sorry for the confusion I might have caused.

Got this working
Yahoo messenger video chat is now working. I tested it from an ipod touch 4th gen and video is coming through on both ends.
Incoming video to the A7 from the ipod was not good, but the video from the A7 to the touch was great.
I know this may be an old issue with Android, but I have searched the net and haven't really found a simple solution other than having to buy an app.
Using the stock email app, I am able to fetch the Magicjack voicemail .wav attachment but for some reason CM7 has assigned winamp as the default app for that filetype and gives the error of "Sorry, the player does not support this type of audio file."
Gmail allowed me to set Remote Wav to default player, but this isn't my Magicjack voicemail address.
Is there a way to change the default .wav attachment app in the stock email program?
I use MJ with Remote Wave, off of a Hotmail address with no problem. I do have to "Save" the VM to disk first though. Then click on it and choose Play With Remote Wave.
