Agreed, bar their dodgy pronunciation of Irish street names I've never had an issue with the navigation on google maps

I loved the pronunciations - OK Google, show me a map of Dun Laoghaire.

I like how in some cases they read both the Irish and English names... Both of which they get wrong.

I miss the weather app chat.

exercise is great for that, just make sure and check the weather before you go out so you don't get caught in a shower...

Could you possibly recommend a weather app for such an activity?

I can try and recommend 7 but not sure which one I'm looking at, at the minute that says it's not raining or might be in 20 minutes..
Anyone else got any I can add to my phone?

Again-- speaking of Google Now -- I didn't realize that if you had locations turned on on your photos, you can say "show me my photos from Spain" and it'll show you all the ones that were tagged as such.

Plus some pretty interesting stuff being reported over on Reddit right now.

So I was just playing around with learning some new voice commands I've never used before. I was reading this article from cnet who have put together a decent comprehensive list of commands you can try.
I was playing around with the 'OK Google, show me some of my photos from...' So I tried some places I had recently visited, San Francisco worked perfectly. Then Spain, all good, this is awesome!
Then I get emotional. Google made me cry. I went for 'OK Google, show me some of my photos from Nice, France'.
She came back saying this to me:
"According to Gmail, firstly let me express my deepest sympathy to you, your mum and the whole family at your loss. Your dad was a fantastic man, as I am sure you already know."
Mind. Blown. I'm sad, I'm amazed, I'm taken back. What a lovely moment for some automated robot voice to express it's sympathy to me.
It turns out she read out a snippet from an email I received from a family friend soon after my Dad's death. But the fact that she knew to say it was pretty staggering, it was in the 3rd paragraph of an email sent to me back in December 2010.

They then attached this video as proof -

The Google pranks started at the beginning of the day in Australia, so yesterday to us & one has seriously backfired.

Any Pushbullet users on here?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pushbullet.android&hl=en

I find it a great app for sending links, pictures files, between my all my devices:

My android phone, my ipad, my windows desktop and laptop.


Its also handy for mirroring notification from your phone to your desktop.

Brilliant app. The only thing that doesn't seem to work is the reply button for KIK

Used to until they started stripping features for premium (after saying existing functionality would stay as is and premium would be new).

Using Join at the moment which isnt as polished but does work well.

Personally, I like airdroid. Any advantages to using these over it?

Does anyone know of an app that would get me out of difficult situation ie make the phone ring on command, I know there is app that you can programme to ring at a certain time but looking for an app that would ring maybe by pressing power button etc,

Thanks

You could probably get tasker to do it but a fake call app would be much easier to set up.

I used a garmin for years, arrival time was always ridiculous, out by hours sometimes. Google Maps is amazingly accurate

Seeing as I can't install the stock LG Keyboard on the Galaxy S7, does anyone know of a keyboard that lets you move keys around?
I need to offset my space-bar to the right like I could on the LG to stop.everything.coming.out.like.this.

Can't go wrong with SwiftKey, best keyboard in the store. Very customisable also, worth checking out!

Havent used airdroid in a long time so I'm not sure how it is now. I just couldnt get used to it being a full suite. Found it overkill. Thats just my personal feeling though.

Been playing a bit of Idle Warriors: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.orca.dungeon&hl=en

In-app purchases haven't encroached at all so far. You don't really "play" it so to speak. It's a clicker game without actually clicking so much.
