I'm aware that Adobe is abandoning mobile development but any website with embedded streaming video is using flash and they are not going to change in a hurry.

A large proportion of them have already moved to HTML5 (or at least provide it as a fallback)

Playing New Star Soccer at the moment, finding it very very addictive

Football manager works really well, definitely worth the money.

Have they updated the screen sizes yet? Was visually very disappointing on tablet on launch.

Works perfect on SG S II. Haven't tried to use it on a tablet.

Recently started using an app called Voxer, its a walkie talkie app that works quite well.
Check it out. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rebelvox.voxer&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5yZWJlbHZveC52b3hlciJd

Try Unified Remote.

Using this now pretty good but couldnt figure out how to rewind on vlc. The buttons youd normally use slowed or sped up the playback speed.

Is it available on the market? I cannot seem to find it.:o

Patsy fyre · 29-04-2012 2:54pm

Just type skygo into the market.

It does work with wifi!

one man clappin · 29-04-2012 2:59pm

I found it on the store through my laptop. When I sent the link to my phone it said that my "device is not compatible with this version". Hopefully it will be updated soon enough.

probably a bit late to the party....

I installed Gmote yesterday... what a great app - now I can control over 1TB of music/movies from the comfort of my sofa...
All I need now is an app to get me a cold beer from the fridge and pour it for me. :cool:

Pretty sure it only works with 4 or 5 handsets.
I have a GN on ICS and it is incompatible.

Does the browser Store say it's incompatible with your phone?

Try Tinyshark it links with your Grooveshark account so you can bring across playlists.

Music junk is great for getting songs.
Better than tunee as you can quickly select a discography etc.
It's not on the any more but easily found on Google.

Airpush supported so make sure you have a blocker if you are rooted

llama is one of those apps that when you install it you wonder why your smartphone wasn't delivered with it by default. It's a location/time based app which changes your phone settings based on where you are or when you are. It's much similar to Tasker, an app which does pretty much the same thing but Llama is free, has more updates and more support from the devs.

Mine is set up to turn on wifi when I'm at home, turn it off when I leave home and turn it back on when I'm at work. It sets the ringer to silent from 11pm except for certain numbers (wife/parents), turns the screen brightness down once the battery life drops beheath 20% and turns bluetooth on when plugged in and charging, turning it off as soon as I unplug.

It's not GPS based (works better in towns) and so uses very little battery life. Well worth the €1 donation if you choose to keep and use it.

Bought this as soon as it came out... but I get the feeling it's not optimised yet.

Battery gets very very hot after a while with this, and the battery drain is much higher than if I was playing games that are much more demanding (graphically)

Haven't seen much about this tho, anyone else experience it?

What device? I have it on my SGS II and haven't experienced the battery getting hot. Haven't passed any remarks of battery drain but I'll keep an eye on it tonight.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that - HTC One X

ED E · 30-04-2012 5:25pm

Heats much more likely to be coming from the 4(5) cores than the Ardueno GPU.

If it were to be programmed without a cap(each phone runs to best of its ability) the X would manage ridiculous rates, but heat the hell up(quad in a phone is a stretch for cooling).

Second Edit, coming up with 'network error' once again.
