Made a discovery about myself. - Vibrant General

Hello
Well if you guys remember I had a thread saying I had a bunch of apps.
Well I have a problem.
I have on Titanium 309 user apps backed up
I hate how it takes like an hour to restore.
Okay here's my problem I use like 1/10 of them and that's it. All the others are apps that are games that I keep because I like showing off my phone and having a bunch of apps and such to my friends and don't want them to say I have a boring phone. The other reason is because I "think they will be necessary at one point" but that point hasn't come. For example I have shazam pro and haven't used it.
I have asphalt 5 and my friend is the only one that uses it.
Almost all my friends have android phones and while most of them have like 2 games compared to like the 150 I have they are happy and don't care. I do?
I would love to use the adwex vertical new drawer but my friends will say "its so gay it looks like an iphone" so I switched to launcherpro.
Its almost like I have all those things to please everyone else but im not pleased with that
So should I delete all my backups and just download apps I use and not care if I don't have cool games and things? Since I don't use them?

Yes exactly maybe its because I like the attention my phone gets and I love to show off the graphics chip but I don't even use any of them.

If you have room stay with them. I myself have delete the game(s) as soon as im finished with it. On the other hand when you get bored and want those games back so stay up them. try to block those negative thoughts your friends gives you. Their legit buyes so even with one game their happy unlike us.

My problem has been atrention i loved it but i was unhappy so Yeah im deleting the backups as we speak and installing adwex now
Wow its like a weight has been lifted and im going somewhat app sober
The other thing that astonishes me is that my friends have like 10 apps and they don't care
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

yeah i do this also.
Always like "OOO i think i'mma need this app to show off to my friend" but that day never comes.
I've deleted all my backed up apps and now have 80 user apps, and i still don't use about 20 of them, but those are games and i need them sooner or later at boredom. I will never go above 100 user apps. that is a promise to my self, and i don't wanna hurt my phone lol.

We should start an "appaholic" support group. I have had this problem for over 2 yrs now. The nice thing about my G1 towards the end was I couldn't install too many apps even with app2sd it would run out of space around 75 or so. Now I clean my phone every 6 weeks and I keep it that way for about a week. But then I fall off the wagon again. I just can't stop so I guess I'll just keep cleaning and reloading because new apps keep coming out and I just gotta have em.
Its comforting to know I am not alone......

That's my story and I'm sticking to it! Amen.

OP, once you have that crap off your phone, ADW EX setup properly and a handful of really good apps... your phone will both look better and run so much better.
If you need some docks/icons there is a good thread in the android theme section (not the vibrant section). I use the Vertical New app drawer and random transitions. Beautiful.

[Q][Sarcasm] NOT another useless thread..ok it is.

Without a doubt the Epic 4g is definitely the most impressive piece of hand-held hardware I have owned to date. I am a long time HTC user and I can promise I will [probably] never go back. There is no other phone on the market that I would rather have for the uses that I use it for. I made my decision wisely after a lot of research. So with that being said, why in the world is so many people so up in arms and worked up over not getting a 2.2 update? Do you really need flash that bad on your phone? If you're spending that much time using flash sites then why not man up and buy yourself a decent netbook? Seriously I don't understand. The only reason I have ever been upset that I didn't have flash was when I was unable to masturbate to my normal free porn site, and instead had to find a mobile version. An inconvenience, yes, but not to the extreme that I cursed samsung. Besides it's much better to have two hands free (for some of us anyway).
So what is it? You want to brag to the girls at the bar that your Epic can do more mflops than a Amsterdam prostitute? Someone please enlighten me here. My experience with 2.1 has been super smooth, responsive, and no app I can throw at will slow it down. In real world use what is the benefit of 2.2? Oh yeah it would be nice to have the new gmail app with the return/forward at the top instead of the bottom, true, but what else?
If you weren't tied to your phone's benchmark like it was the size of your peni$, what seriously is the Epic 2.1 lacking that a 2.2 update would fix?
edit: Keep an eye out for my new rom: Better than froyo. Completely Stock with madthumbs mobile bookmark baked in.

I wondered the same thing for a long time. If you need flash so bad then download the adobe flash app.
Now most of us are on the leaked froyo I'm seeing crap about gingerbread. What's so special about that is what I really wanna know.
I get mad lag on my stock 2.1 phone. This is my second Epic since launch and both lagged after about 12 hours of uptime.
I brought this phone in to Sprint and of course it decides to be all snappy for them. >:-| So my only hope is for the better task management FroYo offers will remedy the lag. That said, sure the lack of an update sucks, but I'm not sweating it.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Fine, but seriously... lack of 2.2 is not what kills it for me on this phone... it's the damn screen that's calibrated like ass. Being a photographer, I just have to ask myself... who the f wants to stare at a screen that calibrated to a very cool temp?

Hmmm.... wonder if any Devs know if theres a way to adjust more advanced settings than RGB... thats great, but It would be nice to be able to ISF calibrate this thing, it does have amazing image potential. May even be able to set up profiles for outside, movie, the retarded 'sports' one, oh wait, think its on that... Set up to work well with the lighting at a Sprint store I would assume...
I'd like to be able to use the audio-out function of the expensive factory dock I bought. I'd also appreciate full voice command support.
There is more to Flash than just websites and video. Froyo also gives you the ability to run Adobe Air applications as well as run Flash content. I already have two Air apps that I've been working on that I will be putting on the market once I've got 2.2 on my Epic and can test them myself.
Not to mention that Google has been updating their core apps and some will now require 2.2. I, for one, don't relish the fact that a phone I bought 2 months ago can't run the latest apps.
And please don't tell me to install a custom ROM. I'm new to Android and this is my primary communication device for personal and business use. I'm not really ready to risk screwing it up just yet.

I can see how it would be frustrating if you are using the epic as your only android device to develop on, but don't they have emulators?
I guess my op q was directed more at real world use. Personal and business uses. I've flashed several 2.2 Roms an Always end up back at baked snack for smoothness, reliability, and battery life. I punish this phone as an account executive. I just have never had a smooth experience with any of the 2.2

Smartphones and Non Smartphone people

Is it just me or does it make you mad when you see someone with a $500 Smartphone and just use it for things like Facebook. I know this guy who has a Captivate and only uses it for facebook and nothing else. I asked him to look at his phone and he hadn't even updated the software to 2.2. Wth!!! He was like oh its no big deal. Another girl I know has the Mytouch 4g and has no clue what her phone can do cause its all about facebook. Rrrrrrr that just makes me so mad to see a awesome piece of technology go to waste just cause they want to look cool with a Smartphone. I have a Vibrant and I have Bionix with all of these other add one like 5 signal bar and the 3g icon instead of the H. Its made my phone killer. Its fast as hell and is a million times better then any stock phone. Team Whiskey is the the most amazing Dev. Team. I use my phone for everything from music to road directions and internet and of course facebook. Like most of us on xda we use its full potential. Does anyone agree or am I just looking into this to far??

It doesn't make me mad, in fact it makes me happy. Those are the type of people who call all android phones "droids" because of the commercials. They follow the trend and its what's cool right now. As long as they're happy with their phone and they keep buying its good for the rest of us because the manufacturers and the service providers get their money, and bringing us better phones and software.
No you are on the mark. And it's the masses that don't care about updates and make it hard for those of us who want the latest release on our handsets to have our voices heard. Which is why samsuck will continue making billions and ignore customer support...

I think you're just getting riled up over stuff that shouldn't really concern you. I have a lot of friends like that--they have iPhones and Android phones and barely exploit the potential. But so what? They're getting what they want out of the phone. And they're building up the smartphone userbase, which benefits us all.
As for not updating, why should they if the phone does everything they want already? Not everyone is interested in tinkering with their phones.
For example, my wife has an OG Droid and I don't think she's even changed the wallpaper or downloaded more than five apps. And so? She probably uses her phone for real work more than anyone else I know. She's probably on the phone 4-5 hrs a day and sends/receives hundreds of emails. The Droid works perfectly for her, so why should she care to mess with it? The phone itself just does not interest her.

This is very true.
The world is full of simpletons and absent minded people who are incapable of doing any critical thinking that are just waiting for someone to make decisions for them and lead them around by the nose. It's frustrating in other, more important aspects of life...in the smartphone department though not so much.

You forget not all people are technical. They buy phones for phone calls. Just because someone uses there phone for facebook and phone calls doesn't mean they are wasting a phone. They paid for it so let them do what ever they want. If they want to mod it then they will learn how to. To each their own.
Just because a smartphone can do anything doesn't mean its users necessarily use it for everything.

Heh, I really think it's just us at XDA for the most part. Just remember that everyone has different obsessions.
My wife thinks it's crazy that I would spend $500 on a phone or $2000 on a laptop, but then again I don't understand how she can drop $300 on a purse (and I can imagine this kind of thread among handbag enthusiasts: ("OMG, how can some women carry such cheap-ass knock-offs. Don't they know? Don't they care?").
Last example, my friend has some cheap Honda that he bought for commuting. He doesn't care about cars at all, but he's had multiple guys ask him what mods he's done. I'm sure that to these guys in the rice-burner community, my friend is some luddite dumbass because he hasn't installed some mods that would boost his car's performance. But again, he just doesn't care about turning his Honda into a street-racing machine.
It's their money, their loss if they don't want to learn.......most people are so lame when it comes to techie things it scares me, At work I have people asking me to fix their computers (I'm not I.T.) I look at it and I tell them i can fix it......... uhh 60% of the time it is unplugged........So, that's the people we deal with... but remember as long as they buy we benefit from the volume of sales

.... why doesn't the iphone have widgets? such a fail. Thats the biggest thing its lacking imho.
Hm... Widgets. 'Nuff said. I'd like to see an iPhone search the App Store from the phone's homescreen. Or for that matter do anything besides open its programs. I would have thought the big clock and weather widget on the main Sense screen would be enough, that was honestly part of why I chose the Evo over the Epic. (that and a dislike of Samsung after my horrible experiences with my last phone)
edit: yes, show him custom ROM loading and backup, plus how easy it is compared to the iPhone.
steve jobs.. dont believe in widgets!
Wireless tether, hulu, and Angry Birds. When I first got my evo the Iphone people would eventually default back to "I got angry birds" since that was the only thing their phone could do that mine couldn't. I suppose you could show them qik even though it sucks, it is definatly going to be the future of phone callls.

I seem to notice many of the 'free apps of the day' have bad reviews because people CONSTANTLY complain about permissions. Always asking "why does this need SD card access, why does this need GPS" blah blah blah. Then they rate it 1 star.

No,launchers(Pro launcher,Zeam,GO,etc..) are just what the name implies.They are light and don't have big imprint on system resources.
Now Home Replacements while similar to Launchers use a lot more ram,cpu and battery.
Home Replacement is not just a launcher but complete android overhaul kinda like Sense,Twiz,Breeze UI etc..
I don't discourage people from using them because they offer a lot of visual eye candy but will drain your battery faster(in most cases).With GO Launcher you can get nice visual effects and good performance-i tried almost all of them and GO is the best i found,Zeam is nice too but don't look as good.
For those that wanna try Home Replacements there is Panda Home,Home++,LG Home,Metro UI just to name a few.
Here is a good article on Launchers/HM Replacements http://kschang.hubpages.com/hub/Droid-Home-Replacement-App-Comparison it has almost all Launchers and home Replacements.

Yeah, it feels bulkier than go, but I figure I'll try for a while. Was getting a bit bored.
I saw it's been around a bit, all the themes and then threads were circa 2009!
Is there a difference between a home replacement and a launcher? (App drawer, screens, etc)

If you bored with Epic try SPB Shell you will feel like you have a new phone.Wave Launcher is another unique one it mimics WebOS.
Where did you learn that "Home Replacements" are different than "Launchers?"
I'm not arguing that you're wrong, but what I've read contradicts whatyou say, so i'd like to be sure I know what I'm talking about

I'm running MIUI, otherwise I'd try it. I went ahead and added it to my paid apps list on Amazon, though.

You may be right idk,but to me there is a difference between two because apps like Dxtop and Panda Home do more things than launchers but with GO,Pro and ADW that line seams to be blurring.

Im bored with my Galaxy S2

I just bought it last Sunday.
Can you guys suggest me things to do with my phone?
Where can I get HD Games for free? Coming from an iPod touch, there are quite some nice games.
Im currently watching movies in it, the screen is gorgeous.
Im not rooted and have no plans at all since I dont want to void my warranty.
Dont reply in this thread if you're gonna act like an insane samsung fanboy
You a gamer? The new Modern combat 3 is outstanding!

Not as easy as you might think! While it's a great device for lots of things, they are very poor at actual calls - you know, their primary reason for existence!
I had to get rid of mine, could not take calls at my desk (Could hear incoming, but outgoing voice was distorted/broken up). Got a Motorola, and can sit in the same place and have a normal conversation.
Try playing Asphalt 6 its free on Samsung App and ShadowGun its awesome too

Samsung Apps offering 16 games free for Galaxy devices

If you're asking for warez, don't wait for people here to take you serious.
Either be happy with the demos which are free, or - as stated earlier already - get a life.
A buddy of mine is looking for a S2, he'd gladly help you to get rid of it again.
Ask netchip, he hasnt rooted his phone but yet he has plenty of fun lol

I'll give you half what you paid for it given it's now second hand. Seeing as you're bored with it and all
Edit - You post a thread like this on a development site and honestly expect not to get flamed ?
Sell it it won't turn in to anything but a smartphone of the sgs2 variety .

When you start a thread like you are bored with your Galaxy S2 you cant really expect people to take you seriously mate especially on the SGSII forums, in the time since ive had my phone ive never been bored quite the opposite actually.
There are many HD games for the SGSII, lots of games in the market, as many apps as the Apple app store and much more for free too just search.
Enjoy your phone.

People say the Android market is not up to scratch but I find it adequate, with the recent 10 billion apps promotion and the free apps on Samsung Apps it's getting decent.
Loads of free apps compared to iOS.
It's actually getting better day by day compared to say this time last year!
As for the phone, best phone still available nothing beats it at the moment and wont until next year.
Enjoy it, grab some apps and start experimenting
Thanks jonny and nikz for the mature replies.
Anyway, what day and time does the android market get updated?
Is there anyway I can buy Android apps without credit card?
Giftcards are the only way I can get them
- You can mod your phone in any conceiveable way
- Get many good and free games via Samsung App
- Play any audio and video format
- Surf the internet with flash (i.e. video streams, browser games...)
... if you are bored with this phone, there was, is and never will be a phone that isn't boring for YOU.
Donate the mobile to me will be useful for testing ICS
It's a phone, primarily bought and used to make calls and texts.
If you're bored than that must mean the obvious. You have no one...to
lol
It's not a PSPVita is a mobile phone.
^

answer me honestly, did you just buy this phone to make phone calls?
use your head.
Install IQ test.
P.S: Let me know if you are >60.
