Thank you for linking to that My Life Scoop article, Kellex. I’m going to spend some time checking those out when I get home from my shift at DISH later tonight. Out of all the apps on my phone, there is only one I can’t live without, DISH Anywhere. I use it to stream live TV and DVR recordings to my phone. I didn’t think that that was so amazing until I got stuck at the DMV last week. I was there for 3 hours, but put on one of my favorite movies, and the time flew by.

Friends and I don’t really text anymore and it’s just used to share some long stories or gossip that aren’t really time-sensitive. We just like to tweet each other or use Facebook Messenger. It’s faster, more efficient, and we are more likely to respond as soon as we get it. Plus, it makes group convos so much easier, especially since most of my friends have iPhones.
Besides, I’m a teenage girl. We need to talk to our friends constantly and as much as possible.

EDIT: would like to note that texting is mainly used with family nowadays, and only if I can’t call them at the moment.

Apps I can live without? Hmm.. I’d go for social and photo app such as Pinterest, Tumblr, Instagram and of course, Facebook. For communication app, I useTablet Talk. For games, I’m currently addicted to Temple Run 2 and Clash of Clans.

Exactly the same thing here Raven. Non personal contacts email, friends and acquaintances text. Unl data and text plan still, with minimal amount of minutes, $78 a month

Need some enlightenment please. How does one use Google voice for texting w/o having to give out two numbers? My point is, I’ve had my Verizon number for over a decade. I’m also a huge texter. I really don’t want to have to give out a second number (for my friends, family’s and coworkers convenience) in order for them to know it’s me texting them. I have a ton of contacts and text a larger portion of them.
I suppose this issue is what’s really holding em back from utilizing Google Voice for text. Any feed back or ‘revelations’ greatly appreciated.

Sorry, I was just being a smart ass. I agree though if GV did support MMS, I would use my GV number a lot more than I already do.

This weekend I discovered a new combination of apps that has blown me away. I have long been a fan pf PowerAmp as the best on device music player and I have recently gotten into connecting my phone or tablet to my home theater receiver and big screen via HDMI for playing movies and music. This weekend I discovered projectM which is an Android port of the old Winamp favorite MilkDrop. This cool app turned my humble little phone into an instant Audio and Video DJing device with awesome visuals. It supports controlling both Poweramp and Google Play Music. I would highly recommend everyone to check it out.

Personally, I have had unlimited texting along with unlimited data since I got my OG Droid. I figured everyone around here still on Verizon would have basically the same thing. That being said, I would say that 90% of my contacts only use txt messages for 1 on 1 text chats and emails if it is a group thing. I don’t really know anyone that regularly uses anything else.

Hey, whatever works for you, I’m just stating one side. I wish google voice was MMS capable – would really make giving up a text plan quicker.

Mine would be:
-Pulse
-Amazon MP3(I despise the fact that Play Music doesn’t let you play your mp3s bought in the play store on other music players)
-Apex Launcher
-Glass Theme
-Cerberus (hopefully I’ll never have to use it)
-Tasker
-Amazon
-Google Drive
-StumbleUpon
-Youtube

Top 10 apps in my life are definitely:

Google Voice (basically has replaced carrier text messaging for me)
Apex Launcher
Tapatalk
Gmail
ES File Explorer (greatest file explorer ever and great for playing videos from the NAS)
ZArchiver (great for creating flashable zips or modifying zips on the fly)
Chrome (Beta is on the N10)
Netflix
Currents
MX Player (best video player ever)
