The Official Android Thread

Some of my favorite apps have already been mentioned (Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons, Sports Tap) there is a Whoopee Cushion app (childish, I know, however it makes me laugh until I cry) I also love FxCamera and the Lightning Bug app.

Tubbs, how many of these are free/charged for? Missed it, but Sunday Times had best 500 apps (pt1) this week, not sure if Android/I-phone or both. Looking for a decent free barcode scanner app as good as Red Laser? for android, and something similar to Phone tracker and I-face fat etc? Zen Timer Lite is good for anyone wanting to meditate for a certain amount of time :-)
 
How can I make the Font bigger on an xperia X10 ie great big 4" screen and I have to put my glasses on to read the bloody messages?
 
You have to download something just to make your messages appear like that in a bubble and to hide the keyboard???

There is currently no way to make the font bigger. Hopefully this is an issue that can be addressed in future releases

Vignette, quality photos app

I even paid for the upgrade it's that good! My photos are awesome on the HTC desire.

Even turns the x10's backlight into a working camera flash!
 
Ok so we all know battery life is a nightmare on smart phones. I used to have Juice Defender but after the recent updates found it made my battery worse.

I have downloaded Battery booster and then the free add on memory booster. Now my battery lasts me all day and I dont even go below 60% (with normal phone usage) and that was from 5am to 1.30am.
 
As for a phone tracker I suggest you use this instead as it does a lot more than just track your phone
