Best HTC Apps 2012

Do you have a HTC phone? Looking for some exciting apps? Congratulations you are at the right place. We will be discussing 5 best Htc apps in this column.

Ankidroid For Android

If you want to talk in another Language other than English then this is definitely for you. You can also keep in mind the facts, and just practice the mind to process and remember more facts. It is just like doing mind exercising to work out your memory. This program has a really high paced high repetition algorithm and you can quickly keep in mind the names, scores and even complicated terms. This is definitely the best HTC apps if you want to brush up on an existing language or understand a new one. Go on what are you holding out around for?

TweetDeck For Android

HTC gives its own Twitter app along with HTC Sense, but it's hardly a next-gen and life-empowering. Which is why you need TweetDeck instead.

Using TweetDeck you can manage multiple twitter accounts. You can also add facebook account to it too. and can also handle Google's Buzz. All in one place makes it extremely easy to manage your profiles and timelines. Plus you can set beeps for new notifications so that you can be notified about the new tweets or comments. I use TweetDeck for Desktop.

HTC - Games Miner Speed

This has been downloaded so many times, and has to be the best gemstone game on the Android industry currently. It is relaxing and interesting at the same time.  This is very fast moving, has an addicting schedule along with amazing design. This is truly one of the best HTC App that you can have for no cost.

You can even connect this up to your Facebook so you can contest with other people and publish your ratings. It is set to become one of the best HTC App in the marketplace and don't ignore you can obtain it for no cost.

IMO Chat for Android

If you like to use your Android cellphone to talk with buddies using IM programs instead of easy sms, you most likely see that you are auto shuffling between Facebook, GTalk, and AIM, or some identical mixture of programs. While most of those personal programs for Android are excellent themselves, IMO Chat reduces the problem of holding on several interactions on different IM programs. IM on Facebook, GTalk, MSN, AIM, Google, Jabber, Skype, and more with this app. The IMO Chat app also can handle speech IMs, team talk, and media attachments.

HopStop

Those of you who never reside in a town, this will not be an app for you, but those of you in Cities or other places complete of challenging train and bus tracks, HopStop is one of our preferred solutions. The Android app (m.hopstop.com performs as well), but it’s the most precise train and bus routing program. You do have to know the address of your place, but HopStop does a good job directing you to more general places like an intersection. It also charts out how long it will take you simply to move around, functions a lot of versatile alternatives to alter your path, and allows you save tracks  so that you can view them even when offline, which is beneficial if you are underground. Try it.

Review For You: "HTC Wildfire"

"HTC Wildfire", Some say it is good others say its a waste of money. It depends on you, what you are looking for and how much you are willing to pay. Due to not so much powerful processor, HTC wildfire mobile phone may battle a little at low quality display when displaying some of Android applications but if you want to spend less, there are lot of features to really like about this HTC style.

HTC Wildfire Features

Its  a budget-friendly cellphone. The Wildfire comes with Android 2.1 and the latest edition of HTC Sense. However, it will receive the Android 2.2 Froyo upgrade and HTC has already started to throw out the upgrade to some devices, according to some reviews.

Aside from the conventional Android functions, HTC also punches in few extra applications, such as its Twitter client, foot prints and etc. More applications are available through the Android Market, and there's even an App Giving app on the Htc wildfire that allows you deliver links of your favorite applications via e-mail, Friend Stream, and Twitter.

Social Networking With Wildfire

Htc wildfire deal with contacts will combine all your contacts, such as ones from most popular social networking sites and Gmail contacts as well. More than that, You can actually check out the images of your contact’s FB and flickr images straight from your contact lists, also when the cellphone rings, caller’s photo (including Facebook's status) and even birthday will be shown with caller’s images. you can scroll up and down to see the complete status.

HTC Wildfire Unboxing

The Good and The Bad Things

The good features about the HTC Wildfire are: the camera and all its functions, the Android operating system, the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 3G connectivity and the fact that this device was designed to be affordable.

The Bad things about HTC Wildfire are: limited amount of internal memory. 512MB for both operating systems and all the installed applications does not seem adequate.

Best Free Apps for Android 2012

Below is the list of 3 Best free Apps for Android for you to download and use. Enjoy.

1) Merriam Webster Dictionary 

After experiencing a good run on the iTunes App Store, has at last arrived on the Android Market. The user interface of the Android edition is changed, though similarly effective and easy to use, comes a little bit behind that of the iOS edition in looks. Everything else is approximately the same. You can look up descriptions, definitions, word and phrase replacements and antonyms for terms both by entering them in or via speech. The app’s dictionary, as it seems, is downloadable at set up and instantly moved to external storage area. So you never need internet connection to get definitions, synonyms or antonyms – only to listen to pronunciations, use voice search and for the Daily Word option.

If you don't know the spelling of the word you want to search the meaning for, its not a problem any more. When you type in the search bar. It automatically starts giving you suggestions which makes it extremely easy to use. You can always use the Voice Search feature, which displays a list of possible words matching your voice input, provided your device has an active internet connection. It also has one more cool feature, it keeps the history of your recent search queries allowing you to view them again. You may also remove selective words from the log or the delete the entire history with a single tap.

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary App places one of the globe's best dictionary in the palm of your hand. It is free to download. Download it from Android Market.

2) TouchRetouch

TouchRetouch is an recommended multiplatform (iOS and Android) picture modifying app and certainly one of the very best in its sub-genre. The app allows you to remove undesirable content from images without making a trace, save the picture to your system and discuss them with your friends and family. And if you own an Android devicce, you can experience the app with (almost) all its functions for no cost.TouchRetouch Free, a no cost (ad-supported) edition, is now available on the Android Market. Moreover to ads, the no cost edition comes with a few limitations.

From the app’s home screen, you can snap a new photo or import one from the gallery. Once that is done, pinch to zoom in and drag to move the picture around until you have a good view of the area to be edited. select the brush tool from the tool bar at the bottom of the editing interface, adjust its radius (thickness) using the slider that appears just above the toolbar and paint over whatever you wish to remove from the photo. While the brush tool is easier and faster in usage in most cases, you may want to use the lasso tool for when you want to cover more area.

Once you are done with your choice, tap the go option and let Retouch perform its miracle. The app requires a while to procedure the outcome. The app swithces chosen pixels with the ones instantly around the choice, providing the impression that the eliminated item was never there. When the app finishes its handling and if you are satisfied with the outcome, you may preserve it to your system and discuss it with your friends.

3) Hearing Saver

Do you listen to a lot of songs on your Android device? Then you probably know how much of a problem it is to adjust the volume whenever you connect in your earphones and again up when you remove them. Well, no more. Presenting HearingSaver for Android phones – a small yet extremely useful system that allows you to set individual press amount levels for when your earphones are connected in and when they are disconnected, helping you save the trouble of touching that volume rocker each time. In addition, the app can be set to automatically mute ringer and notifications whenever headphones are plugged in – once again, very useful. Haring Saver is free and open source.

The app is incredibly easy to use. Opening it shows a simple dialogue box from within which you can set preferred volume levels for both mentioned circumstances. Hitting the Set Levels option at the end of the conversation box helps you to save your choices.

Once that is done, the app starts to run in the qualifications awaiting earphones to connected in or disconnected.The only way to quit the app from automizing amount control would be to remove it.

Camera: 8MP rear, 2MP front

Details: This phone is better than most of the Android phones. The battery life is solid, Samsung has spruced up its TouchWiz interface, the specs are best, and the camera is as good as ever. Super thin and super light, 16GB of internal storage, TouchWiz UI is much improved. The bad things about this phone are Plastic construction and AT&T’s “4G” data speeds are unimpressive.
