Does that allow to set a shift pattern and replicate it for the future? Or do we have to add each day?

Ad blocker is enabled, so did not see the worst of them, plus can not collect some rewards due to it being on.

Does anyone have a preferred dialler? Or are you just using the stock dialler?

The one I was using for a long time (Metro Dialler) has become a bit glitchy lately and is no longer listed in the Play Store.

On a Xiaomi and just use stock TBH.
Granted I'm using a different launcher to MIUI but the stock dialler and recorder integration is great on MIUI imo.

Any recommendation re an app that can cast/screen mirror a HTC 12 to a SONY TV?

Miracast is'nt working and I've tried a number of alternatives to no avail.

Lacking information on the Model of your TV?

Is it Android TV compatible? If yes use 'Google Home' app to cast/mirror.
Does it support DLNA? Plenty of DLNA apps (eg. BubbleUPnP/localcast) that should be able to cast content, not mirror.

Depends on what content you want to cast?

Thanks corkie.

Forgot about Google Home.

Worked a treat.

After a recent update WhatsApp is taking longer to open and now also shows the icon whilst opening. Anyone else getting this?

Aurora and Yalp anonymous logins are being blocked by google.
Hopefully they will find a way around it.
Some of the token dispensers have been taken down voluntarily until it is sorted. Tor is still up but not working.

haven't noticed it been any slower, but have noticed it showing the logo first. first open after a restart etc can take a second but after that it is pretty snappy.

I have a problem that audio pocket isn't solving for me and I'm hoping someone here can give a steer as ye have so here's hoping.

So there are some videos on YouTube that are particularly useful for revision.
Ideally there would be a podcast available via Spotify or his webpage but can only find it on iTunes or on the ivoox app.
I can get the videos to play on audio pocket, but need to keep the screen active.

Apart from paying for YT premium?
What options are available on root or Magisk to sort this?

Install YouTube Vanced and let it play the videos in the background?

Would you believe until you mentioned this app, I'd never heard of it.
Thanks

Job done

Some videos on YT are crazy for the amount of ads rammed into them. Vanced is a god for blocking all that shíte! Black theme (not dark, black!) is much easier on the eyes too.

If it is the audio you want, why not grab it using JDownloader2?? You may need access to a PC to do it!

Access to a pc isn't a problem but it does add another step and time to a process I'm already a bit time starved for.

YouTube Vance does exactly what I'm after, screen off playback with playlist and honesty a top class and seamless UI that is near indistinguishable from YT.

Anyone know any family based quiz or board type games for the Nvidia Shield?

Mr E · 30-11-2019 12:42PM

Witcheye is a great game from Devolver Digital.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devolver.witcheye

€1.09 at the moment (66% off for BF). Lots of levels, 3 skill levels, extra modes (time trial, boss rush) and lots of secrets to keep you coming back. Great music and graphics too.

It's basically just swiping your finger to move the character, tap the screen to stop. Find 4 gems per level, get to the exit. Great design and a lovely 16-bit aesthetic.

Mr E · 04-12-2019 04:34PM

Free icon pack today. I really like them.

Good masking for missing icons too.
