I can't believe there isn't anyone here that wants to trash ios and tell me some really great features about droid on tablets. At this point there is so much shit out there it's hard for me to wade through it all to find the decent apps and widgets.

Currently, I have the weather set up like I like it, as well as the home page. I also set up the android futures widget. It's pretty handy but I wish there was a way to get July wheat and Dec corn instead of the front month, but that's OK.

I have a few specific questions, though.

Is there a way to make it automatically insert a period if I push space twice? I haven't managed to locate that yet.

Also, which is better, the stock Internet browser or chrome?

Which app is best for running office documents, mostly excel?

How do you shut off apps running in the background to conserve battery?

What other good features, apps, widgets, whatever do you use?

1. I don't think you can do the double-space = period thing in the stock keyboard, but there are dozens of others out there. I'm a big fan of Swiftkey, though I have no idea if it has that feature or not.
2. Chrome.
3. I don't personally do Office on my phone/tablet, but Microsoft has...well...Microsoft Office. I'd try that.
4. I never bother with shutting down apps - that's generally viewed as more effort than it's worth. If you turn off communications (WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.) that might help a bit, but honestly I wouldn't bother with a tablet as long as you're not running into major drain issues.
5. There's a thread in here somewhere that's nothing but nifty Android apps, but here are a few I like that might not be obvious:

• Tapatalk for CP browsing
• theScore for sports scores
• BeyondPod for podcasts
• TuneIn Radio for mobile radio
• Spotify for music
• Chrome Remote Desktop to get back to your PC if you need it

Feel free to reach out if you have specific questions (you know how to find me). I think your thread isn't getting a lot of responses because your initial question is kind of like saying "I just got a computer. What do I do with it?"
