Is it a video player or sound only?

Sound only. It just loads up a thumbnail of the video and plays the audio.

Edit:just realised there is an option to view video too if you choose so I'm not sure if it downloads the video regardless of whether you want to watch it or not.

Yep, that's a shame, it's a fairly handy app. Doubt it's in googles plans to bring in a feature like that. At least not for free anyway. Google music key is probably coming soon.

This does the same, allows you to play youtube vid in the background so you can listen to it while browsing through your phone.

New Gmail material design app is available (not on PlayStore yet for me).

Just got it there, certainly looks better than the dated old one and adds support for non gmail accounts.

Not sure but try android settings (not the app) and go to accounts and sync menu and try turn it off there.

How do you mean....'do to your phone'?? It's just a launcher?? Something different for a change...........

Loving this launcher by the way.

It's a new approach and at least it's something different to the others.

I've been using Nova Prime for as long as I can remember but going to stick with this for a while.

One home screen (although more will probably be added for widget support judging by the demands).

Access all apps/contacts/websites etc via gesture support on home screen.

Hi G1032

I looked up a review of Nokia Z launcher and I really like it. When I clicked on your link it asked me to join the trial which I have done so, and they will be in touch with me soon.??? Did you have to do this? and if so you obviously got it in the end if you are commenting on it. Anyway I was just wondering.

Watched the video, didn't like it, seemed like extra work for no reason same as that facebook one. Also Nokia are a dead brand more associated with Microsoft now, wouldn't want them on my shiny new phone.

'do to your phone' is just an expression, if I put a massive spoiler on the back of my little Micra that would be "doing something" to my car

Just personal opinions, glad you're happy with it...

After seeing a review for Desert Golfing in Eurogamer (9/10), I had to grab it. Minimalist, but more-ish - a really good mobile game! The clever thing is that there is no reset button or way to start over within the game, so you have to live with your mistakes (and try to recover from them). A bit like real life I suppose.

I'm still playing this, nearly a month (and 750 holes) later! Stupidly addictive.

Getting trickier now though. One hole last night took 35 shots!

Ya. It took them a day or two to get back to me. You shouldn't have a long wait I'd imagine

Cools little app I've been using recently is Djay 2

Links into your music on your phone or even spotify and allows you become a DJ

Some cool little features, I find myself just playing around with it for hours, highly recommended.

I used to have a windows phone and though I didn't like the lack of apps at the time I loved the live tiling of the launcher. I've now got this back on my Android through this App. I loved it so much I bought the paid version. It's really cool and updates the tiles so at a glance you can see tweets, fb posts, gmails etc just by looking at your phone.
