Must Have Android Apps and Games?

I just installed the Deezer Beta, get it here:

seems to be a streaming music service, you can sign up but I haven't and it is working OK so far on my phone. I assume there is some sort of limit to the amount you can listen to or the music is less than perfect quality.

Its free in the start, have to pay for 9.99 euro for it after wards. I tried it before and its sucky, i tried the beta last night and it was extremely buggy on my note 2. They got rid of the terrible interface, it looks like spotify now.

Should your playlists not be linked to your account? That's how my work anyway. When I Uninstalled they all just came back

They should be!
Seem to have disappeared.
Will log in on the desktop version later.

Try Jango out. Its similar but it plays suggestions based on the artist entered. I. E. Enter Metallica, and it'll play tunes from them, System of a Down, Anthrax etc

Its telling me not compatible (Sony Xperia S) is this because they have no more registrations? The paid version isn't showing compatible either - any good alternatives? Maybe its my carrier?

Well I eventually found that it was the Baidu rom I had on the phone was the culprit. When I put the CyanbogenMod 10.1 on it, Hullomail came up on the Play store for me:)

donspeekinglesh · 04-04-2013 10:47PM

I had to give up using Hullomail on Meteor - couldn't forward to the 076 number.
Could dial it and it would connect, but if I rang my phone when it was forwarded it didn't work.

Yes indeed - it looks like its Meteor that is not compatible with Hullomail.

Are there any alternatives?

Mmm my Note 2 did not handle it well at all, like for a moment or two managed to get 35 FPS, rest of the time 10-20 FPS. I stopped watching it after a while, it got really choppy at times.

Ice Storm 3251
Ice Storm Extreme 2492

Its a bit weird tbh. Ive always found that games used to run the smoothest on Galaxy devices. Now I haven't had a Qualcomm Android powered device since my HTC Sensation, but from messing around with various devices I always thought games worked better on S1 vs HTC Desire (gf's phone)

S2 always performed better than the Sensation as well. HTC One X is Tegra and its the same story, it always seemed to perform better on an Exynos processor. All these quad core Chinese phones somehow seem to have better performance

Tegra is shíte..in fact the Tegra is a complete pile of crap and just about competes with the gpu in the ipad 2 etc..
I have the HTC One X (Tegra 3),iPad2 and iphone 5.
Temple Run 2 stutters on the One X and ipad 2 but flies on the iphone 5 due to it's more powerful gpu.

Hopefully the Tegra 4 will be a lot better but Nvidia dropped the ball on mobile GPUs big time.

Or, maybe, sloppy porting to the TEGRA3 by the devs.

nah....I follow video cards closely as I'm an avid gamer and when Tegra 1 was released it was so far behind the Ipad1 it wasn't even funny.
By the time the Ipad 2 came out Tegra 2 was being hawked around and still crap..by the time Tegra 3 came out Nvidia was raving about the 3x performance of Tegra 3 over Tegra 2 while omitting the fact that the gpu being used in nearly a 9 month old ipad2 was still slightly more powerful than the Tegra3 in my Motorola Xoom thus making the Tegra obsolete before it was ever released.
Say what you like about Apple but their GPUs are excellent in their mobile devices (made by Samsung

) and Nvidia would want to get the finger out and start matching or beating them.

Thanks, I will. I don't like them as a company and business practice but their products can be exceptionally nice to look at.

Their non mobile devices are unsurpassed. Their mobile dominance was mainly a win on marketing and solving software issues rather than hardware superiority.

Having said that, you get what you pay for. You pay a premium apple products. Some of that premium is the brand but, undoubtedly, some of the premium is towards the premium specs [sometimes]

Fanboism aside, even the iPhone 5 is bettered by the older SGS3 on most technical points. It's just a fact. However, I admit the OS flow to the casual user is just that much easier on the iOS. Apple concentrate on use for the non techy. Android is "OMFGGIMMEEVERYTHING"

We seem to be in the doldrums for the last while when it comes to new must-haves tbh, dont know when was the last time I saw a game I wanted to play besides the most recent Humble Bundles...

Cossax · 06-04-2013 03:13AM

Tasker is currently down to €1.99, get it while it's cheap!

Is it similar to Llama??

A quick look at Llama would suggest so, yes.

Llama performs tasks based purely on your location. Tasker is so much more. Eg. Start your video player and automatically set your brightness and volume to your own preset levels. ....
Tasker is difficult to use though but there are good guides available to help us along!!
