Cheers, I played around with this, but I hated Lollipop, reverted back to Cyanogen 11, plus Lollipop is an absolute disaster on Oneplus Ones!!

Not if you install Exodus with the Xposed kernel, You get serious battery life with Xposed modules and great Lollipop ROM without issues

Have you enabled the 'Do not disturb' mode, under [Sound and notifications]? Works well for me. Have set everything to 'do not disturb' with exceptions for calls and alarms. It's scheduled to turn on at 11:30pm, and off at 7:30am. Is that the same as 'quiet time' on your oneplus?

Yeah they're pretty much the same thing, whatsapp (and FB messenger I think, although i've never used it) are two apps that just don't behave though!

It's only a few euro! My sleep is worth it! :pac:

I think i've found an Xposed module that solves it though, no idea how I didn't get it before. I'll install this and see how it goes. Here's the link (I know the rules re posting dodgy .apk files etc, I presume this is ok though? Nothing illegal here!)

While you're on the tune in radio topic guys, if anyone uses tune in to purely listen to Irish Radio stations then I'd recommend getting the Irish Radio Player App it is one of the best designed and user friendly apps that I've used.
Also it supports wearables and the battery consumption compared to tunein is minimal.

but how do you switch it off/exit ??

its constantly playing in the background even when i go back to home page

Anyone know how to integrate a voip app into dialler? It doesn't have an option to sync with the contacts list. Viber shows up ok but I want to be able to select it for some contacts. Thanks.

What good casual games are people playing?

Need something to pass the time. Just uninstalled Fallout Shelter in a fit of rage because 5 dwellers died in a fire.

I thought that was an Android feature, rather than a phone ?

Anyway, in my case (note 3) enter call mode on phone /settings/call/call rejection.

The option to automatically reject unknown numbers is the first one you I'm presented with.

I use Avast, there is an option there to block all private numbers, any number you want really, sends them all to voicemail, works a treat

Not native to the Z3 you need an app, or you can save a number then edit to divert to voice-mail. Not ideal.

I agree Greenify is great and well worth a go. I have it and have found it great up until lately, however the last few weeks I'm loosing 10% ever hour even if the phone is idle. I think there must be something draining so I was wondering if theres an app to keep track and see where the problem is?

Am I the only one who would like a separate 'games' thread and 'apps (not games) ' thread?

No but I imagine if we did that one of those would fall into obsolescence very quickly and there'd just be individual threads started on app/games questions then.

It's taken 6 years to get to ~8,300 posts so is there a need for separate threads?

Android has VPN builtin, all you need is the server details for it!

Lara Croft Go is out now and it's one of the best mobile games I've played in a long time. It looks absolutely stunning and plays great. €4.99, but it's a premium price for a premium quality game.

Whats hitman Go like?
Worth 0.99€?

Mr E · 28-08-2015 7:59am

I liked it but found that it got quite tough. I never finished it. Must go back to it.

+1 to this. Great looking game and good fun but got tough and never finished it.

Lads any recommendations for a password manager?

Been using Lastpass on Desktop, but wondering are there any other Android/Desktop Chrome ones worth looking at for under €14.

Lastpass, it's now free, the app will sign you into all apps and games. There's also an add-on for the Dolphin browser

I'll have to go back to Dolphin. The app is €14 a year. Thanks!

€14 a year isn't a whole lot to be fair. That's less than €1.20 a month for something I use every single day

Its actually $12 a year so about €10. That's a bargain to be honest.

Any recommendations for a Calendar app that gives you a widget for a month view? Sol calendar is excellent by the new smart manager keeps on giving out/giving notifications that it's slowing the phone down and there's no way of disabling the notifications

I like aCalendar - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.withouthat.acalendar
I only really use the month view widget and its pretty customisable.

Business calendar is pretty good.

Mr E · 01-09-2015 11:02am

Today is the calendar I use at the moment. It has a monthly widget.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.underwood.calendar_beta

It can be installed for free, but it's basically a demo - you'll need to upgrade after 7 days (for about €5) if you want to keep using it.

Can someone explain to me why HUKD have offers for apps/games going for 10p yet when I check they're full price? The latest is Ultimate Guitar Tabs but it's showing as €3.25 for me! Any way to get it for the 10p?

UK prices maybe?

?? Works fine for me (albeit not much of a selection). Did you download the app from amazon.com/underground or amazon.co.uk/underground?
