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.

Hello xda world.. A week ago I bought my sgs2 and I couldn't be happier.. It is indeed the best smartphone on the market and since the battery life lasts twice as long as my previous htc hd2... I think i will stick with this phone for a long time. There is only one annoying
That keeps me from being absolutely satisfied with my smartphone: The Calendar.
I am using google calendar for work, private and other things. Meaning I have a separate calendar for the separate categories. As most of you know sometimes you make a mistake when creating a new event by saving it on the wrong calendar and I just do not understand why android phones dont give you the option of moving an event from one calendar to another. Once I was reminded of this fact on my sgs2 I felt a bit frustrated. So maybe there actually is a fix for this that i am not aware of? If anyone has any Information about this subject... Please let me know. You developers out there.. I would donate good money if anyone can fix this

Please, add better & more relevant thread titles, "ANDROID BIGGEST FLAW!!!" is really for eye-catching & getting attention for your problem, but it's really annoying to see such thread titles for problems like that, I don't want to reply to your problem just because of that.
Something like "My problem w/ Android calendars" would be 100x times better.
Something like "My problem w/ Android calendars" would be 100x times better.

Your biggest flaw is the ability to select appropriate thread titles
I've been using Jorte for half a year now. Best calender app there in my opinion. Anyway - don't know about the stock calender, but in Jorte it is easy to move an appointment from one google calender to another.
I know this is rather offtopic but you mentioned having an DHD before your Galaxy S2. Since you have both phones, I'd like to get an opinion. Do you prefer the Galaxy S2 over Desire HD?
And what about the difference between HTC Sense and TouchWiz?
You see .. I'm ordering a new phone next Monday and can't pick. First I had the Desire HD on my mind until I read about the Galaxy S2. Now I'm having trouble deciding.

I didn`t have a Desire hd but an HTC HD2. I guess it`s a matter of taste but if you wanna know my opinion: between the desire hd and Galaxy S2.... its not a hard choice... I would definitely get the Galaxy S2 if I were you.
I have never been a big fan of Sense in the first place... have been using launcher pro so far but after trying touchwiz for a week I must say its growing on me.
Here's two other calendar irritations I have observed -
1. my phone / tab syncs with my office Exchange server and frequently receive calendar invite for calls with the ppt attached to the invite...even after accepting there is no way I can see the attached ppt unlike the blackberry
2. Even after accepting the calendar invites, when I access my Exchange emails the invites still remain there in not accepted stage...

Well I've used Jorte for a while, I also used a lot of other apps. I prefer Calengoo when it comes to my Google Calendar. While the widgets are not the best, the app is near perfect.

Hey there guys.
I know a lot of you folks have been highly impressed with Siri but i have not seen/read anybody mentioning that Android has an as good or an even better personal assistant called "Speaktoit" and it's free in the android market as well. I have tried all, if not most of the Voice Command apps in the market (Iris, Voice Action, Vlingo, etc...) but Speaktoit is by far the best in my own personal experience. Check out the video embedded below if you are not yet aware of it. I love Speaktoit so far!!!
Since i only seen people who upload apps and/or their own themes in the apps and themes section, i posted this thread in the "General" section. I Hope that i did not post this thread in the wrong section.

I thought you had to download trial versions of some software in order to change the voice? Speaktoit itself recommended two apps from the android market and one of them is free but you have to pay in order to download the voices. You can hear samples of the voices though and they are absolutely human-like.
Anyway, here's another awesome video to show how awesome this app is.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myE498nyfGw&feature=related
I like the "Grace" voice from SVOX, I have it set as my default voice for all apps. There are a few new ones I like too but I bought Grace first and am happy with her.
I downloaded Iris earlier and thought it was a joke. It recognized everything I said fine but wasn't able to answer not one question I asked it. I like the "smart ass" answers it gives, but not when asking "What is the weather?", it should be able to answer something like that! I know its early beta, but it sucks.

The voices on Svox are pretty awesome.I like Victoria's voice as well as that of Grace. Too bad they are not free though. "p.
Iris was only programmed in 8 hours and that is mighty impressive. Its still just in the Alpha stage but you are spot on; it's pretty useless so far.

Personally, I don't see what's the hype around Siri, as voice assistants have existed on phones for years.
It seems that whatever feature Apple announces - it immediately becomes very cool and highly wanted by everyone.
Imho, voice assistants are only useful if you use a bluetooth headset.
Otherwise if you need to take the phone out of the pocket and press the button to activate voice input, you might as well do everything by hands.
I personally don't use bluetooth since it sucks for listening to music.
I like Speaktoit, but sometimes it doesn't hear me in the mic. Voice Actions is fantastic, although not providing an actual conversation, it recognizes my voice perfectly. My only bug with it is that it fc's while your in a call for some reason.

As much as I love Iris and Android in general, that video is not a real Iris performance at all, not even close.
It clearly shows video editing trickery to make it seem fluent and funny.
Iris in its current alpha state does not perform like that.
Voice Actions and Speaktoit do perform close enough to Siri though.
By the way, you can create interesting responses for video performances like that with the Speak it app.

Iris isn't ready. Although for now I don't see a particular need for it. Voice Actions does mostly everything I want it to do already.
Do any of you guys actually use SpeakToIt? Or is it just a cool party gimmick?

I was using Voice Actions until I loaded Speaktoit.
Speaktoit seems more mature and robust in my opinion.

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.

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?
