HSBC Fast Balance

Indeed! So much quicker than logging into the online banking on a PC.

Few of my favourite apps are (click the name to go to the store page) :

Flick Kick Football I think the paid version adds multiplayer support but the free version is great
Tower Defense I am sinking some srs time into this game!
Map My Ride Useful for any cyclists, tracks anywhere you go via GPS and provides detailed feedback afterwards for any routes which you do.
 
How do you set it up in ICS+? I can't find an option for in in settings, and in bookmarks I only have local, no option (that I can see) for anything else.

Probably missing something completely obvious!


Mine is just there under bookmarks - in the dropdown of my gmail account - this is in ICS+ Browser

It works with my google account. Really confused the hell out of me when I first went on the browser seeing all of my bookmarks from the PC there. :D

Check that you are signed in on Chrome on the PC, it should say in the bottom right corner under other devices 'GT-I9300'. Then on Chrome settings go to Advanced sync settings, make sure bookmarks is ticked.

I really need to work out how to delete the bottom one it's doing my head in being able to see my previous handset on everything :o
 
Get swiftkey 3 beta on! :) :p

Better than the normal version and has a ICS style/theme, still not very nice looking IMO but better than the default choices in the standard version.

Plus you get some nice features; inserts the spaces for you in between the words in case you forget or miss type as well as other little neat things.
 
What's a good screen locker app? The latest update to Go Locker randomly crashes on me every now and then. Something that will allow me to have music control with the default Sony music app and allows to me unlock it similiar to this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...uZ29zY3JlZW5sb2NrLnRoZW1lLndodGZvdXJrZXkiXQ..

EDIT: Decided to pay for Widget locker. Oh wow, this is amazing! It's so customizable! Why did I not use this before?

That feature is on ICS+ Browser and stock ICS Browsers.

Finally got this working!

For anyone else that might be having the same issue, here's what I did:

In account and sync settings, my Google account had "Sync internet" ticket, however it was encountering an error each time and not syncing. It turns out that this "Sync internet" feature is the syncing of passwords/bookmarks/etc from your Google store to browsers *other than* Chrome beta, which apparently has a separate sync going on within the program.

To fix this I had to go into my Google dashboard (you can get to it from chrome, by going into settings, and following the link, or just through Google probably) and hitting "Stop sync and delete data from Google". You can then sign back into Google through chrome, and it will re-sync all your data from your computer. Note that when it deletes the data, it only deletes the data stored centrally by Google, and NOT the bookmarks/passwords/etc saved on your computer.

After this, re-sync your google account from your phone, and all should be well!
