This is a subverse to share news and discuss everything Android related.
IRC
To keep things clean around the sub, there are going to be stickied threads every Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
- Screenshots on Sundays | Latest
- Apps & Games Recommendations on Mondays | Latest
- Support on Wednesdays | Latest

- Phone Reviews/Recommendations on the first Sunday of every month. | Latest
^These will be updated with links to the latest sticky. All stickies will be archived somewhere. Maybe a subverse.
Stickies will be posted at 11 am GMT+2.
Once the sub gets a decent amount of users, there could be a sticky for developers to promote their apps.
Rules.

SwiftKey. If Google were to implement SwiftKey's prediction engine into a Chrome extension, or Microsoft into Windows, I'd buy it immediately. It makes typing that much faster.

I've given swiftkey a go but never noticed a huge difference, maybe I'm doing it wrong

You're definitely doing it wrong. Use the swipe feature

I bet you don't have fat fingers. :(

I've used it on a tablet with an external keyboard. The predictions get better with time, once it learns your style. Which keyboard do you use?

Well, there is always BlueStacks App Player.

Yeah I love it, I used to copy the files from my phone to my desktop but the file names were all gibberish so it was a massive pain in the ass.

Google Play Music. I mean, the website is pretty decent, but I wish there is a better way to manage music (e.g. make changes to several files I uploaded at once), and to keep some music files offline.

I really wish the Google apps were available on my computer. They're the main thing I miss on my Surface Pro.
Using the website for GMail or Hangouts or Calendar is fine, but they're no native apps by any means, and lack things like persistent native notifications. Plus Chrome is a huge resource hog these days, so keeping a tab open for those things actually swallows hundreds of megabytes of RAM.

This may be relevant to the discussion. For a consistent UX across multiple devices, services will need to expand. In fact, I think it's pretty weird that I. the day of the internet , so many apps and services still don't fully communicate with themselves across platforms.
Thankfully, that's changing.
