(android) tips/tricks and useful apps go here

---

This is by no means trying to take over tatnai's faqs thread this Is simply a thread just to post your tips/tricks or favorite apps that you find verry useful/helpful on android.


Here's my 2 tips.
#1- I noticed that I was loosing memory space more and more everyday and I wasn't even downloading stuff, so I did some looking around and noticed that my browser was taking up 24mb! So if you go into settings/application/manage applications, and clear the cache in the browser it will go back down to 0.98mb.
Ps. Clearing cache will not erase your bookmarks or saved paswords.

#2 if you go into spare parts and set ( window animation & transition animation ) to fast it makes a big difference on how fast the applications open and close.

Please don't be shy, if you have any useful tips and or apps that you know then post them here to share with everone.

DroidLive by far the best streaming application I've used. I use it to listen to my premium AAC+ feeds on www.di.fm

PS if you like clearing your cache, I've found CacheMate useful. Can clear cache for every app you want from the home screen

If you have a data plan 2 words come to mind: Blapk Market (v1.06 to be exact).

Don't forget Better Keyboard. Reminds me of the HTC keyboard.

Here's something useful I've found: a lot of websites have iPhone versions that use the "webkit browser". Android uses the same protocols, so lots of websites designed for iPhone look great on Android too. i.wund.com is one of my favorite
