    Did the exact same thing. Using Swift key with something like Evernote was painful. Stock keyboard not as handy but no real lag.

    Yep, exactly! I'd prefer to have swiftkey back but it was just too slow. I had terrible lag with Twitter and Facebook Messenger too. Its a shame cos I loved it.

    I had on my S3 and Swiftkey Tablet editon on my Nexus 7. It was a pretty common complaint after an update a couple of months back. Not sure if it affected all devices or what was the story.

    Reminds me a bit of Battle Garrega with a nod to Ro-Type Delta for the PSX (3D Bosses..) Enjoyable, but quite difficult to impossible in places.

    Possibly the most lush and polished sideways shooter on the Android Play store. Visuals you'd expect on a home console.

    I'm using a Tegra 3 Nexus 7, no issues with lag.

    Hey, does anyone know of an app that allows you to control your phone with your tablet?

    For instance, I'd like to be able to send and view whatsapp messages with my phone via my tablet, if that makes sense.

    How many of us have got tasker but never figured it out? The only thing I could get it to do was launch spotify when I plugged in my earphones.
    Thank god, thought it was just me! I installed it a few years ago and couldn't (be arsed) trying to figure it out. After reading this thread I tried it again about a month ago. Couldn't be arsed putting in the time trying to figure it out!

    Using Action Launcher on my HTC one and am loving it. The only one I've paid for and am still using. Shutters etc really add to the Android experience.

    Using it too and like it. One problem is sometimes a shortcut disappears from my home screen. Do you get that?

    That's the one I'm trying to get working :)
    It says recording, then when I go to play back the recording, its silent. Must see I'd their is anything obvious that needs adjusting

    Are those apps in a bit of a legal grey area? I think you have to tell the other person you're recording them or you could end up in a bit of trouble if they ever find out.

    For WhatsApp, just install it on your tablet, login to the App and messages should start coming in on both the phone and tablet.
    Same for a lot of different Apps like Google Hangouts/Talk, emails, if you have say a Kindle book your reading on the phone, etc...

    A lot of Apps will harness the power of the 'cloud' to sync across devices.

    If you're calling a call centre line, they will probably say "Calls may be recorded for quality and training....". So you say "Thanks very much, I will record them then".

    I meant more a conversation between two private individuals, not a call center or government agency. I doubt they care if you record something they are already recording.

    I cannot seem to hear the other person on the line unless it's on loudspeaker! Am I missing something?

    Sanity, available from the Play Store, has a recorder as well as a load of other call handling features.

    So is there an app that will start all your incoming and outgoing calls with a message saying "This call may be recorded for Security or Training purposes".

    Can't install whatsapp on two devices at once, unless they changed it recently, it's either on one or the other device if using the same number.

    It can be installed alright. But I can confirm it can only be used on one at a time. It requires a text message pin code to enable activation.
