Q. I just got an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S2 and this is the first time I have ever had a smartphone or android. I have been searching on Google for apps but much of it is outdated, such that old "tweaks" or apps are already incorporated into the latest Galaxy S2. What are some good/must have apps for entertainment and better yet, productivity or phone management (stuff that keeps the phone running smooth). Thanks.
A. good and free android apps, also dont get task killer- on the new android phones they end up killing the battery.
âdouble twistâ sync your itunes songs to your android
âDrop boxâ- move files wirelessly from your pc to your phone
âUnified remoteâ- use your android as remote for your computer- play movies, view your files, etc.
âYouTube mateâ- download YouTube videos(sometinge gets rmoved from market, you can google it though)
âIP webcamâ- use your phone/tablet as a webcam
âAlgeoâ- a scientific/graphing calculator similar to a TI 89
âAdao file managerâ- manage your phones files
âtv. comâ watch tv programs using wifi
âtune in radioâ- listen to the radioâ¦.
âWhereâs my droidâ- never lose your phone/tablet again, just send it your attention word and the volume maxes out and even receive its location on gps
âgo keyboard- my personal favorite keyboard (try the black or iphone theme for it)â
free android games- this also depends on how good your phone is, some of the lower end phones cant use them (mine isnt that great)
lane splitter- traffic racing
death worm (demo)- play as a giant worm and terrorize people
asphalt 5- high graphics racing game
angry birds- it think you know....
dragon fly- like the iphones version of tiny wings
atilt labyrinth- guide a ball through a maze by titling your phone
winds of steel (demo)- flying shooting game
Jet car stunts
fruit slice
Alien invation
Office jerk
Where is the red
cubes- like cube runner
abduction- like doodle jump
fall-down
speedx
Fun random apps
âgoogle sky mapâ, know the position of stars using augmented reality
âgoogle googlesâ search the web my using images
âshazam/hound soundâ record a piece of a song and shazam will tell you the name, artist, etc. of the song
âcircle launcherâ(widget)- store more apps if running out of room on home screen
âfunny jokesâ great jokes, by community⦠(secret community? lol youâll get it.)
âscreen filterâ using your phone in the dark

What is the best Samsung Galaxy S2 US variation device?
Q. the Samsung Galaxy S2 for T-Mobile, the Samsung Galaxy S2 for AT&T or the Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic Touch 4G for Sprint.
I am a AT&T customer and the AT&T phone has the smallest display out of the three but seems to be the smoothest and most fluent one.
A. All three U.S. variations of the Galaxy S2 will have the same screen resolution of 800x480, which is also known as WVGA (Wide Video Graphics Array). The screen size does vary between 4.3" for AT&T (and International) and 4.5" for T-Mobile and Sprint.
The problem with just increasing the screen size without also increasing the screen resolution is that the pixel density, and thus the quality of the image to your eye, is degraded/reduced. In lay terms, the same pixels are basically "stretched" across a larger physical space.
The metric that describes this is PPI or 'points per inch' which is calculated by combining the screen size and screen resolution.
For those geeky enough to care, the calculation is PPI = diagonal_pixels / diagonal_inches where diagonal_pixels = sqrt(pixel_width^2 + pixel_height^2) - basic Pythagorean theorem.
Doing the math reveals that the AT&T version will have a pixel density of ~217 ppi compared with ~207 ppi for T-Mobile and Sprint. That is approximately a 4.6% difference in pixel density.
The tradeoff between the two is pretty even from a mathematical standpoint - a 4.4% increase in diagonal size compared to a 4.6% decrease in pixel density, so it depends on what matters most to you as an individual.
I am going with the AT&T version for two reasons.
First, I like the way the 4.3 inch size feels in my hand and I can do just about anything with the phone without needing two hands - the 4.5 inch Infuse started to get a little unwieldy and I have large hands (I'm well over 6' tall).
The second reason is that pixel density below 300 ppi is still noticeable to the human eye, which is why companies like Apple refer to displays with > 300 ppi as 'retina displays' or other trendy terms like that. Put another way, as displays improve toward 300 ppi, they will look increasingly good to the eye but increases beyond that don't matter much. It is unlikely Apple will release a phone as large as 4.5" without retaining the 'retina display' qualification as they consider visual quality vital.
If T-Mobile or Sprint were to increase the resolution to qHD (960x540), then the density would shoot up to ~245 ppi. AT&T doing the same would jump to ~256 ppi.
For those willing to wait, the Nexus Prime is rumored to have a 1280x720 (720p HD) resolution with a 4.65" display. That would qualify as a 'retina display' with a whopping ~377 ppi. To put that into perspective, iPhone 4 has a 960x640 resolution for a 3.5" display and ~330 ppi density (Apple's site actually lists 326 ppi since the screen size of 3.5 is probably rounded up slightly).
What are the best apps to get on an Android phone?
Q. I have the Samsung Galaxy S3 If there is any difference between phones). Anything in general, I guess. I also have a younger sister about 8 yrs old that always plays games on my phone but she's getting tired of Fruit Ninja and Temple Run lol
