    Does anyone know any cool Android apps? "Cool" as in interesting and helpful Android applications. Try not to post any gaming apps, unless it's a good one.

    Transfer files in your mobile device to your PC and the other way around:
    ---Wifi File Transfer PRO


    This app can count and keep track of how many push ups you have done:
    ---Push-Ups Pro

    Apps that help me get GPS connection faster:
    ---GPS Connected
    ---FasterGPS
    ---GPS Status

    Watch TV on your device(requires you to have BELL as your TV plan):
    ---Bell TV

    Please share.

    Sweet, might try that then.

    I use Nova Launcher instead, mix in with the Tesla Unread Plugin to see the notification count.

    Light Flow to control notification light.

    Sixaxis controller to use PS3 controller on my phone

    UberSync to add fb display pic to my contacts. (rarely use it now)

    Yeah, my Nexus 5 has a different setting for the flashing LED than my S3, so stuff like whatsapp, facebook messenger didn't show any LED if i get a message in my Nexus, where as S3 just blinks away at everything.

    I really like Flipp, it consolidates all your weekly grocery/retail/big box type stores' flyers into one convenient location/app.

    A big plus that I find is the search function, it'll grab just the 'clipping' from the full flyer when returning your search results, extremely useful!

    Availble for iOS too.

    I can switch my screen off just by swiping my hand over my phone. It doesn't lock the phone, it just switches the screen off.
    So, the processes running on the phone is still active. It's good for saving battery life. I use it while playing Youtube music while your phone's screen is off.
