pyckl3 radar. hi-def weather radar. nationwide.

Another vote for SwiftKey here. Had Swype and didn't care for it.

Some useful apps I have on my Note 2: AccuWeather, Astro File Manager, ES File Explorer, Fancy Widgets, FoxFi (allows tethering w/o rooting), KeepScreen (blocks screen timeout for predefined apps), MapMyRun (useful if you're a runner), Nova Launcher, Fancy Widgets, Square Register (nice if you want to take credit card payments on your phone & free), SQLite Editor, SuperSU (if rooted), theChive, Wallbase, Zedge, Zooper Widget Free.

+65000 for FoxFi. turns your phone into a wireless hotspot and you can tether your phones internet connection to your laptop or desktop.

be careful though, some wireless providers have it in your contract that you cant do this and you could have your service cancelled for violating the service agreement.

Xda-developers.com for all your rooting needs. Plus download allcast. Wirelessly stream to all your dlna devices.

Yep was about to post this, on newer Androids Foxfi does not work on sprint. I have sprint and used it on my Samsung Epic, I have the S3 now and it does not work.

Flashlight app. It really comes in handy

This. I use my flashlight app 100 times more than anything else on my phone.

yeah, it's a bunch of crap. if you have internet, and you're paying your monthly bill and you want to tether to your laptop or desktop you should have that right. :nonono:

verizon says you're not supposed to do it either, but I do it anyways, and I haven't seen any abnormal charges on my account.

It's amazing how much better this thing is compared to my iPhone, god I should have switched earlier..

Definitely better that iPhone. Welcome to the android circle of life. Try slacker radio awesome internet radio app. Simpsons tapped out is pretty addictive.
