Thumb keyboard is great, definitely try it! It has many themes too so don't dismiss it based on the default look as it employs the Honeycomb KB style!

mrk how have you decreased the gap between the current and forecast bits? did you make a custom skin?

looking better...

between the forecast and launcher bar i've stretched the Torch icon to the same size as the whole gap and made it transparent with Transparent Launcher.

Torch (Tiny flashlight + LED doesn't work with Transparent launcher): https://market.android.com/details?id=com.colinmcdonough.android.torch&feature=search_result

I didn't no, just apply the sketchy theme and it just sort of fitted nicely.
 
please someone help me with this. i currently use k9 mail to receive email from 10 different accounts. all i seem to get all day long is junk as there appears to be no filter. thunderbird is marking it as junk fine but the phone isn't as often it's perhaps not junk like spam but advertising rubbish that keeps coming and only way to stop is mark it as junk.

what can i do?
 
As I just posted elsewhere, would it be an option for you to let Gmail handle it all? You can add Pop3 or IMAP accounts in the web based Gmail, which of course will then work on your phone.

It's spam filter is very good, you can set filters to put labels on things from different accounts, it's better on the battery as it uses Google's own Cloud 2 Device rather than K9 connecting and checking 10 accounts.

The only real downside is I think it will only check your accounts once an hour (or maybe 30 minutes)
 
i may give it a go but i want seperate accounts clearly not them together with just different colours. i've not used gmail so may be it's better then expecting, however i'll hold out if anyone can suggest something.

also as mentioned it's not that it's viagra spam i'm getting just general advertising rubbish which i have to mark as spam myself on thunderbird but then it knows in future

Thanks just installed it.

Is it just me or has anyone else NOT had the last version or this version pushed to their phone automatically. My old Desire and my new SII didn't receive either update.

I didn't either and even the previous release too.I wonder if it's anything to do with some custom roms...

Just a plug for tunein pro. I didn't even realise there was a pro version and it's got some neat stuff like recording and pause.

The Llama app basically allows your phone to know WHERE you are within defined zones based off cell tower references (no extra bat usage).

Once these zones are established (I only have HOME or WORK atm), you can define in betweens for the zones, and what happens when you arrive at the zone. By standard this is setup to just make your phone silent / normal / loud, but you can then customise it to do cool stuff.

At the moment I have it automatically turning on WIFI when in range of my house, then automatically syncing all my data. For work arrival I have it go to silent etc until I leave work for lunch and it should turn to loud when im in the town.

This is what I bought my smartphone for... automation, now I've found the app to do it!

I discovered this app last night and can confirm its fantastic.
 
I'm looking for an RSS reader for Android with push, purely so that I can add an RSS feed from a bargain site and it will notify me each time a new bargain is posted.

Anyone got any recommendations?
