Electronics Killer apps for Android? - Page 9

Since there's an iPhone version, I figured I'd start a Droid version. After being handcuffed by Sprint's SERO plan for the past two years, I finally ordered my LG Optimus S last night. It'll be here in about 24 hours. So, what toys should I play with when it arrives?

Akinator is unreal fast.

Nutsie Top 100s by year is pretty cool. Goes back to 1947. Streaming music.

Got it wirelessly tethered. Very excited.

The speeds weren't great. If you do the wired tether with a USB cord, do the speeds improve?

Yes they do... 3g you should get 1-1.5 Mbps. 4g I average 4-7Mbps but have seen up to 12Mbps....

So I have to download this onto the laptop I'll be using on the trip? Do I need to DL any files to the Evo?

other way around...

Download this to the EVO .. if you're running vista/7/osx then you're good to go

if you're running xp you might need to install something..

see the FAQ for more info http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/wiki/FAQ

Didn't see it in the app store. I keep seeing the codes like you posted, but have no idea how to access those.

Awesome it worked.

However, it says my SD card is busy. I tried accessing the SD card menu in the settings and for the total space it says it's unavailable.

Could the rooting have fried the SD card?

**007** · 04-23-2011, 07:56 PM

TuneIn is awesome.
