That's a budget phone, the mini has no parts in common with the S4, just uses its good name. Has v weak dual core processor and barely enough ram

Ah. I did not know that. So, would an S5 mini or S6 be the same? I ask because I like the Samsung phones and don't want to go with an iPhone. I'm due an upgrade so maybe I should look into getting a better one?

Yes, exactly the sane, the Samsung minis are not great value. Check out the Sony z3 compact which is high end but smaller screen, has quad core CPU and 2GB ram

Sony make the best Minis in the Western Market. HTCs are okay too. If you're getting H then you should be able to use TuneIn fine on that. There should be a letter if you're connected though?

BandMember

Had a Sony before and didn't like it at all to be honest. Would the normal S6 be ok?

By the way, sorry for hijacking/diverting the thread with my stupid questions!

Thanks for your reply. I may only rarely get an H though - I mean, even right in the middle of Dublin, I can't get anything but buffering!

I can get it fairly handy in the are end of Leitrim now, and we're not technologically advanced down these parts :pac: I'd have a talk with 02 about that, doesn't sound right at all.

BandMember

Yeah, I think I'll give them a shout tomorrow - sounds like it's my phone rather than the app.

Thanks again for all your help guys, much appreciated!

While I'm in the thread, are there any decent YouTube apps that still work with their new protocol?

Having said that I find tune in cuts out every now and again even on wifi. It's not as good as it once was!

Would you have a back up suggestion?

I'd still use tunein but radio fm looks decent!

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 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ie.radioplayer.android 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.
On my 45 minute walk to work tunein would use 16% battery and buffer in the same two places every morning, now with the Irish Radio app it only uses 3% battery and no buffering.

Thanks. Tried it but none of stations I tried worked - kept saying "Station is unavailable at the moment".

I'm trying Fleksy for a while to see how I get on. Like you said, swipe keyboard would seal it for me too.

Deleted fleksy. Swyping is just so much quicker so I've gone back to swiftkey.

NeuroNation is an excellent free brain training app. Lots of different mini exercises, and really well-designed.

That's brilliant. I was thinking "what's the catch? This seems really easy."
Then the joined tiles started to appear.
