Player pro also a great music player..

Still the battery problem is not yet solved.

Guys any best app which can be used as timer. For example I would want it to give an alarm after some time.
It's something like for example I have kept water for heating and would want to be reminded to switch it off.

The stock clock app.
Use Google now to set reminders.

Use netqin mobile guard to back up contacts and then import it in Android

I directly sync(ed) with google mail in both phones. Used Nokia Mail 4 Exchange for doing that.
You can also check out Rainbow contacts

Most of time the saved words are those Hinglish words that we type often and want to save.
If that is the case, just use a keyboard with Hinglish dictionary support. Like Swype, which also have come to play market now.

Nope it's tanglish ( tamil+ English), tamil words. There are like thousands and thousands of saved words.. I don't want to lose them

Whoa. "Thousands"?!
I am afraid if Titanium backup is unable to restore the words, you may be helpless.

Only option now is to try to uninstall the existing KB, and try to restore whole application and data from Titanium. Little hope though.

ariftwister · Apr 28, 2013

Both the kb have same package name.. But if I restore data it's not working..

Guys not sure if this is the right thread but still wanted to check I cut my earlier old SIM into small Micro SIM so that it fits into my new Galaxy Note 2. Now the problem is I'm not able to put this back into my LG Optimus Net. The SIM Tray I know is an option but it's around Rs 100 and later may become waste.

^^ I do still suggest a tray. You never know when you will need it again.
But I have seen one of my friend using the outer portion of her cut sim as a tray.

Just make sure that the gold plate is in contact with the golden connector of the phone.

The outer portion broke unfortunately.

I think carrier billing is not yet included by google

. My playstore was updated yesterday to 4.0.25 and still it shows credit and debit card option. I have to pay for whatsapp

but i dont have credit card. Entropay requires at least 20 $ and i am not sure if it works or not. Can someone help ???

thetechfreak · Apr 30, 2013

I haven't heard of the update reaching India just yet. Let's wait.

Food for thought: 75% of Android devices can't run Google Now since it
requires Jelly Bean; any iPhone from 2009 on (3GS and
later) can run it today with iOS 6.

i am planning to buy a cellphone and my budget is 15k
i have selected 2 models,

samsung galaxy s advance and
htc desire x

am really okay with the 480p video recording in htc, but the main problem i have with s advance is the network issues which i have read online. Does it get solved with the official jelly bean update?

my preference is samsung, but if the network issue continues on jelly bean too then i would certainly opt for htc desire x

i dont like the lg l9 as its huge in size

thanks
