Syncme stopped working for me after a while. Back to Haxsync reluctantly. It works fine, but I don't like the fact that it just adds an extra account.

Does anyone know if you can get the apk for Blinkfeed on the HTC one, for my gs3 or is there a capable and similar app, I really like the way you can just scroll your home page to see stuff, a bit like having windows 8 blocks with stuff in.

It's been updated and works perfectly now.

There's some app screenshots of the tablet layout on Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nuance.swype.dtc

And you only need to buy one version instead of two seperate ones if you have both phone and tablet! Only just installed it on my Nexus 10 so will play around with it a bit.

Cool nice one. May as well pick it up then for 65p!

Can anyone recommend a notification LED app which works with Skype? I've tried Light Manager and it doesn't work properly. Does the paid version of Lightflow work with Skype?

Does anyone know if the new Flickr app supports instand upload (from the camera)?

 

[Simian]

Can't find an option to do so!, I think it will only automatically upload if you take a photo from within the App its self!

Unlike Dropbox etc.. that upload (over Mobile of Wi-Fi) when ever a new photo is taken.

Useless then

My friend, you need this side app to do that for you: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rafali.flickruploader

Instagram will also upload to Flickr

And you don't have to process the images with silly filters n' stuff

I really like Sony's mini browser it's fast and simple perhaps a bit too simple but for quick Google is bang on

I recall reading previously about being able to change the 'archive - reply' options that pop up when Gmail is received to hopefully custom options, delete would be much more useful than archive for me!

As an aside, I never archive email? Who needs to in Gmail if it's all saved automatically and permanently anyway?

I've wanted this too. I've looked over the settings with a fine tooth comb and can't find an option for it

I think I read about it as a hack for Android 4.2.2 and in 4.3 you can change it easily?

Trying swype out again and it is quite a bit better than swiftkey and 4.2 keyboard, especially when it comes to swiping, however, it seems to take a second or so to start/pop up, which is damn annoying especially when my pin lock screen uses those keyboards number layout........ Every other keyboard I have tried, pops up literally straight away, no delay whatsoever!

Until they fix that and bring a proper holo theme, sticking with 4.2 for now.
