Android phones, apps and tablets

cOOL APP BRO.

cool caps lock fail bro

I got the Huawai Blaze in the end, seems a nice enough little phone.

Does anyone have a microSIM to SIM adapter? I did have one, but it's hiding from me.

Found it! Right, quite a nice little phone this.

Is there an equivalent of the iPhone notes application available for Android that does not suck balls?

I just use gmail drafts or google docs so they're accessible off-device.

I've tried a few different notes apps now and they are all bobbins.

There must be a nice, straightforward note taking application?

Evernote?

Catch notes is pretty awesome

Probably easy to do but how do you flag emails on the sensation with the stock email client??

Evernote?

^this.

But it's so, so ugly.

Do not want.

The Blaze is ok, it's a little Android handset and it provides what I wanted- mobile Gmail, web, and G-Maps. Plus you can make phone calls.

But- epic lag. Ask it to display a photograph and be prepared to go and make a cup of tea.

Still, horses for courses, it'll be a good spare phone when I get a job again.

chrome beta now available for 4.0 and higher devices. Seems pretty fast

Oh, and the Blaze has had to go back onto the charger twice to make it to this point in the day.

Too many widgets?

Zero widgets. Just a teeny battery I think.

Is there an easy way of seeing what is taking up memory, and nuking stuff?

Also, the screen is very soft- beware of scratching it if you have one of these.

Dammit and the battery saga continues!

The Battery dies to quickly, Long live the Battery!

Dammit, app called Watchtower does it all but you can see what is using battery in Android settings. It's always the screentime.

Amazed that you don't know this :

Setting - about phone - battery - battery use.

And yeah, it's screen, always. Lower your brightness as far as you can.

Google have finally done what I have been saying they should do for ages: launched Chrome for Android:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.android.chrome&hl=en

It's installed on my Prime and I will look forward to playing with it when I get home...

(Due to some complicated proxy issue I can get internet on my tablet at work and all the apps work except browsers, which never work. I suppose because I haven't got the http proxy working but if anyone cleverer than me has any ideas please shout!).

It's always the screen.

Always.

Dim it, turn it off when not in use. Stop looking at it obsessively. If you play games and have it lit for a while, plug it in.

No smart phone lasts that long when you've lit the screen up.

Chrome isn't running too smoothly for me. It keeps freezing so I'm back on opera for now.

Anyone else having this with a custom ICS rom? I'm using the AndyX 5.1 rom which has been excellent otherwise.

Apparently Chrome is not compatible with my phone?

you running 4.0?

So far it's been super smooth / crash free for me (official build)
