Monument Valley can be got for free through amazon underground!


The Talos Principle is another great game for your device.

The above link is for the full version, but you can also buy by the episodes: -



Don't forget "The Room" series and/or "Oddworld - Strangers Wrath"

I did. Regardless of whatever else you had written, you still came across as trying to be a smartass. Just like you are trying to be a smartass again.

Leap top up National Transport Authority

Works well, using NFC to check balance on a bog standard, picked up from a newsagents, Leap card. I can top up too, using Payzone, in combination with a valid card, Visa, Mastercard, Visa Debit card.

Apart from using tags at home, I think this is the first time I've ever used NFC to interact with an active 'commercial service'. Pretty neat.

I've blurred out the card's unique identifier, below the remaining credit sum.

The absence of Apple/iOS support is due to the lack of Apple Pay services currently available in this country. (Ireland)

Might have came across as a smartass but I don't think that was intended, in fact it was quite a good suggestion. I got an S6 Edge last week. I've had an Android phone for years but I still went and Googled best apps for S6 Edge.

There really is a few good websites dedicated to the best apps for your specific device than other general apps etc.

They looked like they were trying to help to me!

I don't know if this has been mentioned before (and as the search function is still down, I can't check).

When Llama stopped updating and started having issues on some devices I went looking for another.
I saw it around November I think and thought similar but gave it a go under someone elses recommendation.

Believe it or not, it's kind of fun! - and relaxing setting them up. But it's not complicated, and nowhere near as daunting as it looks.
Definitely recommend downloading it and trying.

But it does take a bit of getting used to. There are quite a few preset ones that you can follow and edit and the guides are very handy.

What apps are you using to access your SD Card? Is it formatted in a supported format and also doesn't exceed the size limit for the device.

Can you trying using an app like "ES File Explorer" to copy a file to your card.




Couldn't find your exact device on XDA. At your own risk, you could try rooting with the steps for a similar model.

I can copy a file from my internal storage to the SD card no problem it's just that I download every thing in 1080p and it can be 6 ,7,8 GB which will fill up the internal storage in no time.
If I copy it to the SD card it takes ages or often fails to do it at all

I believe FAT32 filesystem of the SDcards are limited to file size < 4gb.

You could try formatting your SDcards to exfat but then your tablet might not support that format.

You didn't say what app your using to download (don't mention illegal apps).

I found that Advanced Download Manager or the Pro version can download to sdcard (although a temporary folder on Z1), i use it to download directly to an OTG stick.

You should try other sources for your videos, you can get High Quality videos in mp4 format that have a small video size.

I download with say some one was sick they would have the flu and then some one added a d.
It doesn't matter what size I try to download like the xfiles 350mb it will not rite to SD card.

Will try the ADM to see will it work

Are there any?

Thanks

Any recommendations for a cloud photo gallery that lets you sort photos by album? I've backed up to Google Photos already and while it does let you create "collections" it still shows all your photos in the main gallery. This makes trying to sort into albums hard when you can't remember if you've some of them put into albums already.

Got 90 days free Google music so I switched over from Spotify. Awful to say the least. Slow, skipping songs, constant crashes, battery hogging and unintuitive. Really terrible.

Really sad that a company with the resources of Google can't design an app Atleast as good as Spotify or a messaging service as good as whatsapp.

Hence the saying jack of all trades, Master of none.

Ironically the Facebook Android app is utterly horrible too. WhatsApp ease of use and brilliant design has nothing to do with them. It was like that before they were bought.

Was surprised how bad play music is. Was making a playlist and it was so difficult. Even though it was free it was driving me nuts.

Hangouts is another poor app, as is Facebook.

I've seen apps designed by guy's in their bedroom in a few hours to work better than some of those mentioned.

Same here. It imported all my music and playlists. And who looks at a music app anyway?

What tablet is it? Are you sure there is enough space on the tablet.

Do you have the movies saved on your laptop? If so just connect the tablet to the laptop and create a movies folder on the tablet if there is not already one there and copy the movie file over.
