since i got my first android a year ago, its made life a lil easier for me....dont get me wrong any smartfone will do(ios, windows) but i'm writing this based on my experience
first and foremost a good android device can save you from a lot of stress and tricky situations,
with an android device you do not need a modem, when u've got wifi and usb tethering: have ur own personal wifi hotspot to connect ur pc to and also help out friends in need of internet connectivity.

utilising ur android device to the fullest is impossible without downloading the right apps...below is a list of awesome apps that can make life easier.
1. camscanner : camscanner is an android app that allows the users to scan documents at very good quality even converts to pdf when u're done (u might need a fone with at least 5mp and autofocus)...the app has helped me out countless times, when u need to fill out an online form and upload documents, u can do that on the go using cam scanner.

2. quickoffice: this is an android alternative to microsoft office on windows and gives u almost all the options u wud get in the windows software. u can create and edit word, excel and powerpoint documents on d go with ur android device

3. tasker: this app is one of the craziest apps i've seen on android.u can literarily turn ur smart fone to a smarter fone.its an app that allows you to programme your fone to do certain things when certain conditions are met.an example of what i did is to programme my fone to be silent whenever it is sunday between 8am and 12pm if and only if i'm in church...so if i go to the church on a monday the sounds are on....if i'm in church on a sunday afternoon, the sounds are on and if it sunday morning and i'm not in d church the sounds are on so it only turns sound off it its sunday morning, between 8am and 10pm and only if i'm in my church environment. there are countless things you can programme ur fone to do

4. gps essentials and google maps: these are gps softwares and we all knw what gps does.the gps essentials gives u parameters such as current speed, latitude and longitude, distance travelled, etc...this really helped me out in my final year project as i needed a gps device for my field work....google maps gives u maps of places and even satellite views so u can never get lost...

5. smart tools; this is a collection of tools that can engineers..it consists of a ruler, diatance measuing tool, angle measuring tool, sound measuring tool, metal detecting tool, a plumbine and flashlight...they all work because an android device has all d hardware necessary to make them work..

6. sensor music player: maybe u're doing serious work and ur hands are dirty and u want to change music on ur fone...no need to worry, just hit the table where ur fone is or wave ur hand over ur fone and the music changes...u can also be walking and u wanna change music without bringing the fone out of ur pocket..just tap ur pocket and d music changes

7. sybla tv: ur own cable tv on ur mobile fone.have access to football matches, news, documentary, music and movies on ur mobile fone..(note the app requires data)

8. viber: very good for internet calling...requires data .requires about 14mb for every hour spent talking..
these are just a few apps that are great to have on ur smart fone...feel free to add what ur android does for you!!

install the launcher on your phone memory and not on the memory card that should stop the problem

Thanks for the enlightenment@op,but please where can i get the free version of that sensor music player with all the features cus i really like it but i can't pay for it,thanks

@Op, how I wished you continue given details on each of these apps, because got a lot of apps dat i delete at will without knowing their functions. Especially go launcher and d rest. Thanks

paid apps can be gotten free from blackmart.....blackmart is an app just like playstore but all the apps in it are free...including those that are paid in regular playstore

The only time you'l enjoy all these android features is when you are using unlimited internet on the go. And its only when you are outside nigeria, u can enjoy that.

Op, God bless you to get a note3 if are not using one. It's a different experience.

I dropped Ios for android with no regrets though I missed few features on the new Ios7.

Nice thread, I'm gonna try some of the apps listed.

I think every android user should try "gotya", a security app that takes snap shot of a thief send it to your mail or facebook.It also allows you to locate, track or lock your phone and wipe your data.

ANDROID (dictionary meaning)

@long as it is not techno or oposso
