- Swype uses up too much screen on the tablet compared to SK Flow.
- Swype doesn't predict next word
I go back and forth between the two especially after major updates. Always make my way back to Swype.

To get the appstore, go here from your phone's browser to download the APK: http://www.amazon.com/getappstore
You'll need to allow the installation unknown sources APKs in your settings since you're side-loading.

So I've been trying to get SNESex 9 working on my FHD Nexus 7 with a Dualshock 3.
Has anyone got this to work without lag or the wrong mappings for the DS3?

Hi, sorry if its been asked before in this thread somewhere.
My brother just recently switched from iphone (3GS lol), to an Android. The default Email app only retrieves emails once every 15 minutes, or manually.
He's looking for one that retrieves emails instantly (Like the IOS; as soon as there is an new email, it alerts him instantly).
I've been using android for years but never really used any email apps at all, as I don't need to check my emails as often as him for work.
May you guys suggest any email apps that can accomplish this? Thank you in advance!

Thanks though~ I'm telling him to just do 15 minutes. This whole email thing never bothered me, like I said, I don't really need to get emails instantly. He does for his job though.

Push notification is a limitation of the email server protocol and the app. If it's accessing email via POP server, you will not be able to get push email notification.
However, the stock email app does not support push email for IMAP even. From googling I've found these possible options:
Runs on one email account only, runs in the background along side stock email app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...dle.free&hl=en
Standalone email app with push notification: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...aildroid&hl=en

| AFAIK, unless you're using Gmail or Outlook - you'll need an exchange server to do proper push email.
What sort of mail server are you using?

Password: <your password... derp>
Incoming Server: m.hotmail.com **Note, if you have a @live.com account... use m.hotmail.com also!
And there you have it! you now have Push notifications setup and a full sync with Hotmail! (if you read something on your phone... it will be marked read on hotmail, if you delete something, it will be gone on hotmail)
If anything, PM me or post a reply! | This is what I use, thanks to Amuro Ray!

If anyone is interested in a iOS7 theme with transitions, iLauncher is pretty damn close. $2.

MTR is rolling out Octopus SIM, using your phone's NFC as an octopus card. It's really limited now - you have to buy a new Sony handset, it has to be through PCCW, and there are only 5000 of them.. but it's a good indication of things to come.
Hang Seng also has a NFC based Visa payment system, but again it's really limited right now

So it looks like I'll be moving to a droid device sooner than expected (either a Nexus 5 or Z1 whenever the sony store offers it unlocked)
Im just looking for some similar type of features with symbian
like the always on screen (sleeping screen) which shows a clock/notifications/pictures (its customizable and you can select as many images as you want they rotate)
I read that Android has something called Daydreams which is essentially the same thing but I read that Daydreams only goes on when the phone is docked/charging (and the only threads i could find discussing this are almost a year old)
Is there anything that's always on in place of a blank standby screen?
this is what i mean by Nokias Sleeping Screen  
here's a video of an early beta version
I love the feature so am hopeful that I can find something exactly like it

I have the HTC one, and I get both my hotmail and Gmail pretty much instantly. Under settings/peak time sync, I select "push"
