    Can I ask a slightly OT question please? All my paid apps...how many devices am I allowed to install them on? I currently have a N7 and GNex. Was thinking about getting one of those Android sticks.

    It's not limited. I have my Gmail account on three different phones at the same time.

    Had more than that at certain times when testing phones. Fire away

    Coming to that I just installed the trial there yesterday and it seems to be way easier to type on that, than swift key.

    Liking it so far.

    Don't suppose there's a "essential" list of Android games anywhere? At the moment I have Plague, Dead Trigger and Where's My Water. I was going for Asphalt 7 but baulked at the 1.6GB size!

    Have you tried "the room" ?


  • Posts: 8,317 ✭✭✭ George Hissing Ape


    Ah I forgot about that!!! I noticed it's highly rated and very popular but I'm not a big fan of puzzle games...find them a bit dry.

    The Room is a great game, although you'll have it finished in a few hours.

    There's no official app, but there is one on Play.
    It's not great though.

    Hi,
    I came across itube on my buddies iPhone which is a quality (I think) music app.

    I searched for it on the play store with no luck. I have an SGS2 Android 2.3.6

    Is there any similar app on the Android market?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,632 ✭✭✭smilerf


    Lads is there a app that turns the accelerometer on only when you need it. Watching video etc

    I'm really getting into Rando. It's like Chat Roulette but without the porn.

    For what device. I know on Samsung units, it's built in. In the notification bar you can lock the screen to a certain orientation, horizontal/vertical.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,632 ✭✭✭smilerf


    I see thanks not looking to lock it just an automatic turn on/off if one exists

    Tasker can do that, you can set the rotation lock to turn off when certain apps are active.

    GTA Vice City is €1.79 for a limited time.

    Oh I want it, but I can guarantee it, I will never play it once I get it. Controls are way too awkward for a touchscreen device. It's even awkward on a tablet

    I agree, It looks great on iPad but the controls....... You get stuck on certain missions that you'd fly by on console/pc
