Thumb keyboard has a cool multi touch feature where you can hold the symbols key then tap numbers or whatever and then let go and it returns to the main keyboard. Nice!

Edit*

Scratch that, so does ICS keyboard!

In passing conversation with the wife I mentioned Barcode Battler from the 90s, we now have Codemon installed.. why oh why!

I still don't really have a clue what's a good monster but it passes some time on.

For phone tracking software Cerberus or AndroidLost are best, the latter is free and is only missing the ability to be installed as a system app.

I guess no one got my Cerberus joke....

Why don't you store them all on Google?

Just uploaded them to google and when you get your new phone just sync your gmail and all your contacts are synced !

 

[Solz]

You mean on gmail account? Didnt know i could do that!!

Not quite essential but I found this hilarious, be sure to watch the sample video.
Oh I got my manager and colleagues to create a rap but I shan't be sharing it on here

https://contacts.google.com

If you tell us the device you're going from (assuming it's not already an Android) I can advise further but in general it will be export current directory to csv, upload to contacts.google.com, clean up and then login to google on your phone and it will sync.

For the SwiftKey users, does this actually work?

 

[mrk]

Yes, but only if you have spacebar to “always complete prediction”.

For the SwiftKey users, does this actually work?

Yes, apparently.

 

[Skeeter]

Cool, SwiftKey users should post their default sentences

 

[Locke]

I'm not sure if mine would be forum friendly..

For the SwiftKey users, does this actually work?

According to reddit 'i am a beautiful person' is default. I don't think i've used my phone enough to set anything new and hilarious

 

[Begbie]

Wow, that is clever. THough, mine uses a word I can honestly say I've used once. Infact the phrase it uses was sent to me ages ago!

Hi,

Is there an app to remove the text from the icons or to change the icons? I don't want to root at the mo but if I can't do this without rooting I'll look into it sooner.
