    I do love skydrive, but the fact that it lacks automatic photo upload vs drop box or Google + just kills it.

    This might be what you are looking for. I use it and I find it works really well. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fi.ohra.impetus&hl=en

    Pushbullet is a great app. Like Chrome to Phone but sends more than links. Will send files, lists, addresses and notes to your phone too.

    You can get the Android 4.4 (Kitkat) keyboard on your Jellybean device (via APK installation).

    Improved space between keys makes it easier to type, you can now swipe through the space bar (so you can enter whole sentences without lifting your finger off the keyboard), and there are emoji icons built in.

    How does it compare with Swype or Swiftkey?

    I loved the Google keyboard, but what made me go back to Swift key was the lack of using the space bar when swyping, will definitely be my new default keyboard with this new feature.

    why cant google keyboard have numbers at the top line instead of having to keep a letter pressed for a number. samsung have this in theirs. i installed the new google keyboard and liked it but had to go back because i found this annoying.

    just to put in the google suggestion box!

    On my HTC One running 4.3, Hangouts running fine.

    The launcher was running fine along with Google Home.
    Search was not working, then when I went back to HTC stock. Google voice is not working. It wont allow me to say ok google.

    Anyone able to sugguest a solution to get Google search back working thanks.

    That fix works thanks.

    Something I only noticed now, if I select English UK the ok google command does not work. Is this normal?

    I full recommend avoiding Pocket Mine if you like to have free time. It is too addictive.

    I know we've had this debate before but I dont get how people get by using Swype or the Google keyboard compared to Swiftkey? Swiftkey reads your mind! It often types out whole sentences for me especially if its work related and Ive sent similar texts before. I think it is literally 5-10X faster than other options.

    I TOTALLY agree.....SwiftKey always has been and continues to be the best IMHO.....now that they have cloud integration and as I change devices a lot all the learning I have accumulated on it so far just automatically transfers to the new phone....killer function for me!

    Only works when the system language is set to English (United States). :)

    Hi folks,

    Just picked up the first Smartphone yesterday(Xperia Z)

    Would someone be kind enough to do a list of apps/games that's up to date or point me in the direction of such a thing?

    Many thanks.

    It's up to date seeing as we are posting in it now.


    And the list for most popular or top free apps on the play store is where I'd start.
