Yeah, it is that time again.
I haven't seen one of these threads in a while and since most of us have had our phones for several months, I'm curious to see what kind of usage we have here. After all, things change when most of the tinkering and tweaking is done.
Include as many as you wish. I have skipped calling and texting, because it is a phone after all, but feel free to post anything.
Here is mine:
1 - Browsing (stock Opera and SkyFire)
I do this daily and sometimes several times per day.
2 - RSS Feeds (SPB Insight ftw)
I can't imagine how I have lived before my daily news/sports/weather updates .
3 - MP3 Player (mostly Pocket Player and MortPlayer)
Almost every day. Especially when there is travelling/waiting/etc. involved.
4 - E-Book Reader (MS Reader)
At least a few times per week. Sometimes I don't read for a while, but then, I do it all week.
5 - Online Hexxagon!!! (SPB Online)
That game is absolutely addicting and I cannot stop playing it.
games but not a lot

ebooks alot! mainly ms reader
music coreplayer
video not a lot coreplayer

I used to use it for everything that I phone can do.
Now I only use these types of features:
1) Text Messages
2) Phone Calls
3) Dictionary
4) Flashlight
5) Memo and Organizer
I'm not going to use it for entertainment anymore. I need to get a good GPA so I can get grants for my college education. I got a little spoiled during my first year in college.

Can you show me how to play java games and where to get those?
Of course. The ones I mentioned are from GAMELOFT. You can get them right there. Native-WVGA-Examples are Pro Golf 2010, Golf the Open 09, Wimbledon 2009, Roland Garros 09, Sonic Unleashed or SpiderMan Toxic City. Digital Chocolate also offers a few ones, e.g. Beach Games 12-pack.

9. Taking photos - because I am lazy to carry my camera everywhere.
10. Bragging rights - because I am the only one in my class with an X1 [just kidding]
11. Mirror - I have a screen protecter that is coloured such that it turns into a reflective surface when the screen is off.
I've had my X1 for slightly over 2 and a half months and I swear this phone has changed my life - in a good way.

TOP 10
1. Phone and SMS (Of course)

10 Torch Button with registry patch
my list only goes down to 3:
1. phone
2. sms
3. gps
other than those 3, are rarely used. and now i'm thinking of getting a standalone gps because the gps function in the x1 (or any phone for that matter) are SLOW.
standalone gps navigation systems are much faster with better precision and have faster refresh rate. i tried driving with a garmin nuvi and it beats gmxt in my x1.
It's my personal computer. So:

Okay........
Although many of us have mentioned quite a few gr8 apps here, I thought its good for all of us if we can list our favorite apps for our NOTE in one thread so that we can enhance our usability by sharing our experience/links/resources!!!
IMPORTANT: As we all know, its is the CONSUMER BEHAVIOR (and optimizing the marketing mix around it!!) that determines the success/failure of a product, similarly the "FAVORITES" will always be USER DEPENDENT. Thus it would be NICE if we can have a mention of our "USAGE PATTERN" and then enlist our favorites.
I am sure we all can understand the potential benefit of such a listing to the members in general and of course the NOTE users {and potential developers } in particular!!!
So here we go...
----------------------------
I am a BUSINESS USER and have I have following 10 as my fav's (not necessarily in same order!!):
1. Astro
2. Quick Office Pro
3. MyPhoneExplorer
4. Evernote
5. S-Memo
6. SPB Shell 3D
7. ezPDF Reader
8. FlightTrack
9. Skype
10. Angel Dialer Pro
and well some important must have's too...: Gmail, Pulse news, Titanium Backup, Box, Twitter, FB and need I mention Wifi & tether too!!
Here goes my top 10..
1. Facebook
2. Astro
3. Angry birds
4. MX video player
5. Winamp

I'll play.
I'm still going through the honeymoon stage, so I don't see my usage now as representative of what I'll eventually settle into. I want the Note to be my productivity assistant, and I have high hopes for the S-apps and SpeakToIt assistant, as well as Office and remote connectivity apps.
But that's 2012. As of now, these are my main apps:
1. Dolphin HD -- news, surfing, XDA
2. email -- gmail, yahoo, and RR
3. WinAmp -- via BT headset or earbuds w/ play button
4. Games -- GTAIII, Riptide, Fieldrunners, Earth and Legend, Angry Birds, Crayon Physics, Shadowgun, Shinerunner, PacMan, Sprinkle, NFL Pro 2012, Dungeon Hunters, and various trial OnLive games
5. texting, FB (don't do twitter)
6. movies/youtube faves -- NetFlix, Rockplayer
7. GPS -- Navigation app best performing
8. e-reader (Sherlock Holmes, PDFs, Google books)
9. musician apps -- Caustic, U-Loops, RD3, Jasuto, Chordbot, SPC
10. agenda apps -- note-taking, alarm clocks, speaktoit reminders
Oh yeah, I do do phone calls as well...

I bought a lot classicals from amazon, and using that I don't have to download them.
They said, streaming videos, music and pictures could not be done via the OTG (ON THE GO)
the only way this could be done, is saving the media to your device 1st, using up your storage
which can be a bummer.
I will explain the how's
1. First make as sure you are rooted!!
2. Download and install from Google play these files: bubble upnp, nexus media launcher,
MX player (only if streaming to other another android device).
3. Download Lucky Patcher link at bottom of page
4. Open Lucky Patcher, hold down nexus media explorer. Menu appears.
Click, open menu of patches
Click change permissions and activities
I had clicked on save original signature, up to you
Click write external storage and read external storage, then reboot.
Once rebooted, click nexus media explorer or connect your otg cable (auto startup) select media, click play at top then you get.
Use bubble upnp, and hey presto.
If it doesn't stream make sure to set the device rendering, in bubble upnp to stream to your device (not local render). And keep library to local media server
Many thanks for your views.
Lucky patcher download, also do an update
***.box.com/shared/cxtvwbzvx9v4r64dkysg
Why not use 'stick mount' and 'ES file explorer'
Plug in OTG, select mount, in ES find the file and play it.
Am I missing something or does your method allow something more?

Hi all,
I'd like to share a simple way to play video files with super volume boost *(max audio output) without root etc.
1. Download and install tubemate 7.04 latest apk (google for it)
2. In tubemate go to preferences and select play internal player, it will be selected , don't change it.
3. Now download any video from youtube.
4. There are two panels one with left side , where you will find your downloaded videos.
5. Downloaded videos will be saved internal memory - /0/videos.
6. Now open play music and go to settings - equilzer and enable it , you can change equilizer settings if you want.
7. Now play any video file , which you have downloaded in tubemate. , Remember play file in tubemate application, if you selected play thru internal player it will not ask anything and will start playing file directly from tubemate applications internal player.
8. If it ask you for player to choose, you need to recheck and select play thru internal player and if not your video will start immediately.
9. Now feel the difference with max possible audio output of your MI MAX.
10. Apart from downloaded videos in tubemate , you want to play other video files, just paste them into tubemate default download folder ie 0/video. If your pasted files dont show there just refresh via refresh option in tubemate.
Don't forget to disable mi sound enhancer in setting - sound and vibrations - audio settings.
Please share your views.
