Mail...what's better than the native

Looking for a better email client than the native..free would be nice, the default one doesn't seem to refresh correctly. The Hero native one looked promising but went back to cupcake instead
Any suggestions since you guys have been using it longer than I have (since Sunday)

you can try K-9 seems to work really well. is based on the native client but seems to work better worth a try.

I'd recommend K9. Had it since it was first released onto the market, it's an excellent app. in my opinion.

the htc mail app is excellent. see the rogers rom.

Another vote for K9 Mail. Latest version that's not yet on the market has nice improvements and fixes.

The HTC mail app was pretty nice when I loaded the Hero rom on but I took it off since it ran to slow, is there a way to get just the mail app?
I tried out k9 and I like it and works pretty well...don't really care for the icon but that's something I can live with lol

Likely origins of the icon: link. The devs must be Doctor Who fans

Ah yea looks pretty similiar...works well though, much better than the default with my 4 other email accounts

im app

well im looking for the app that has "im yahoo n msn messenger" i saw it in one of my friend rom but cant find it... where can i download it.. i remember android had it but cant find it...

I'd like it as well

i think the name of the app was "androind client... forgot the rest...

Android 1.5 had that built in. 2.1 doesnt. I'd use Meebo. Thats the only halfway decent IM client out there for Android.

eBuddy does Facebook chat along with all the others all in one. Might check it out.

the app is Android IM... it is in Enomther's latest ROM. its ok, but use meebo, its much better and has more functionality.. i wish digbsy would make an android client... that would by far be the best.

attached!!! have fun!!

Android to Android free messaging?

I have a friend in the UK and I'm in Canada. We had Google Voice but hers got hacked and it's a nasty situation but anyway we want to be able to text, or do something similar to text. We go on ebuddy now but it's obviously not as nice as texting or alike. We can't text because we don't have international plans and a lot of apps like textplus aren't available in the Uk market.
Can anyone please help?

PingChat! check it out here http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.enflick.android.ping
Plus it works cross-platform incase you have any friends with iPhones / Blackberries

Seriously?

Just use google talk, which is also cross-platform (even more so than pingchat!)

But I can't set up google talk as a push service like I could with Google Voice. It's not the same.
PingChat isn't available for my friend in the UK, she's on tmob.

Since when is Google Chat not push?

Have you tried TiKL?
Have you tried TiKL? Turns your android into a Nextel. Works pretty good.

She has a wildfire. It's not showing up!

strange... I have it on my Nexus One, but I don't see anything about device restrictions anywhere.
direct link if it helps at all -
http://market.android.com/details?id=com.enflick.android.ping

Why not use email?

use Kik messenger. it's whole point is to emulate BBM type chats, it's in beta, and pretty basic, but it looks gorgeous and they're adding features.

nimbuzz , fring for voip or chatting .
pingchat works fine too and there's an unreleased beta version of whatsapp it will be released soon.
cheers

KiK and pingchat don't show up for her. Any direct APK?

Try textplus.
Free messaging to anyone in the US. If you're not in the US or the recipient isn't, its free as long as they have the app installed.

kinda odd that she cant see most of these apps we r mentioning that most if not all of us can access to. is she rooted? n like someone stated, email is probably your best choice if everything else isn't working

You want to see this tablet at it's best check out

The xScope browser. After reading about it here earlier today I grabbed it and can't believe how it shows the ability of this tablet. I set the browsing agent as a "computer" and every site I've checked works flawlessly, including those with a lot of flash that didn't work before. Youtube videos look amazing and the speed is second to none.
The reason I wanted to mention it here is because so many people are working hard to make this tab the best it can be and I thought this shows what we have to work with. Personally this is going to allow me to do a lot more business work and makes the purchase a great move for me!
Sorry for getting a little over excited.

Can you please check www.bankofamerica.com? It fails for me using stock browser, and Dolphin HD and Lite. I have not tried other browser such as Xschope and Skyfire.

I use xScope also. Rothnic recommended it. Works very well. I went to the Bank of America site and it looks like it works. You didn't leave your account # so I can't really tell though It looks different in xScope than the stock browser.

Using stock and dolphin HD/Lite, login app falls behind some flash advertise, and no way to move the login applet front.
Yes, you can use Android App for BofA, but it is horrible. Too many crashes, and it works when it wants.
Damn, i left my tablet at home today since don't have decent carrying solution yet.. Really sux..

ah ok hopefully its fixed by the time i get my tablet since i do use the app alot.

I really didn't feel this thread needed to be moved. It's relevant to those of us working non-stop on the roms like TNT. It's important that we know what apps are making the most of the roms as a lot can be learned from that. I wasn't simply looking to review the app.

People love Dolphin and I don't know why. I have been using Xscope since it was free and I even paid for it now that it isn't and it just gets better with every update. It blows the other browsers out of the water!

On the contrary, this is related to a browser APP, which can be used regardless of which ROM is on your gTAB. Apps is the perfect forum for this post.

Tried the free version. Fancast didn't work for me in this one either. Flicker slideshows did working landscape...didn't in stock.

You're right had it been app review, which it wasn't. I was addressing those of us using certain roms.

Just a heads up. When I last used Skyfire the webpages were all generated on their servers. So unless things have changed I'd avoid using it for things like financial transactions.

Don't want to go on anymore about this too much, but this absolutely belongs in apps. You didn't say anything specific about a ROM, or development. You did give an app review about how it runs on this device. There currently is a lot of app related posts coming into development pushing down threads, and our mod is rightly so moving them.
On another note, I am on the list of of people who don't understand the hype on Dolphin and love xScope. I encourage everyone to try it.
Love loading webpages up, then hitting menu to go fullscreen. The toggle makes it great. Also nice swiping between tabs.

Can any one tell me where to find the xScope browser. Of course the crappy gmarket site the gtab has built in doesn't carry it.

I like XScope 6 a lot. Today I was able to watch a rental movie (from Amazon digital store) at full screen and no issues at all. The browser agent was set to "computer" with XScope and Amazon who needs the iTunes store?

Sees it fine using the original market hack using Titanium.

How can we get Google to develop a Honeycomb Google Voice app?

One of the main reasons I went with an Android Honeycomb tablet versus the iPad 2 is the deep level of Google account integration with Honeycomb. I was willing to overlook the lack of Honeycomb-based apps, knowing that Google would push it as they did O.G. Android (and that certainly paid off).
Oddly enough -- one of the few apps that you cannot even download for Honeycomb even though there is a pre-3.0 counterpart, is Google Voice. GV users on HC have to download an old, hacked version of the APK (to give you an idea of how out-dated, it is from before the GV app had push notifications).
How do we go about pushing Google to get HC users a working GV app, one that we can download from the Market??
I hate starting things like this, but the situation is dire (okay, not really, but still!). My plan is to tweet "Please @googlevoice push out a #Honeycomb compatible #googlevoice TODAY!" or "What does #Honeycomb and #iOS have in common? No native @googlevoice app!"

Well, the latest version in the market works fine on the xoom with out [email protected] anything. You have to download it on your phone, then move it - or I can post it for you if you want. Then side load it. No big deal.
Second, I don't think we can really complain, its a free service and a free app. They'll release it when its ready. I don't want a big pile of crap software because they released it to early, it's what got the Xoom into a lot of its mess in the first place.

I agree, and I use GV on my Xoom with no problem by doing what you described above.

I agree with you. It's shameful that the ipad has a Google voice app and we don't.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

Yeah, while I support your efforts, I just gave in myself and pulled the APK from a rooted phone. It's here, if you want it, too.

Using the above app on my wifi only xoom I can text, but I can't make calls. Has anyone figured out a way to make calls with their GV number on a wifi xoom?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

Eh. Couldn't care less about calls, only texting (when I'm outside the US, for example).
You can't do it with GV as it stands anyway; the way it works now is it makes a standard voice-call to a Google number.

Groove ip in the market allows for voice calls, I'm pretty sure but not positive it works on wifi xooms

I've updated the APK in my Dropbox link above to reflect the new GV released today (0.4.2.32).

Sorry if this has been asked and answered before but how come the refresh options for google voice on our xoom tablets is different than the same version on a non tablet android device?

It's been asked, but that's OK- there's no reason for it, and I'd like to know the rationale for this as well. It's the only thing really lacking in GV right now.
