Android Useful Apps

[Park@82]

Does anyone know of an app that tells you what app is currently sipping data on your device (as in, currently using data, not the normal Android data usage statistics in the settings menu)

Not sure if anything will do it in real time but "My Data Manager" can show the last hour's usage.

Any one know of any good voice recorder apps? That doesnt use too much battery?
MP3 format will be preferred.
Im going to an all day workshop, and would like to record the lecture.

Im using a note 3 if it makes any difference.
Or will the stock one suffice?

This looks interesting:

Send links, pictures, files, checklists, notes, addresses, and more right into your phone's notification tray, to your computer, or to a friend, really fast.

Looks like chrome to phone on steroids.

You need to install the Browser extension. On Firefox there will be an icon bottom right. Click it and click "Push it!"

For Chrome:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pushbullet/chlffgpmiacpedhhbkiomidkjlcfhogd

For Firefox:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pushbullet/

Looks like it is at the top right on Chrome, see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKA6BXIFaCs

One can also use it from their website but that is just an added step each time: https://www.pushbullet.com

Also once you have it signed in you can select any text in your browser -> right click -> push this selection to...
