Atorrent beta

Only used it a 3 or 4 times over the years, but it's so simple, I never had any issues with it!

Does anyone know the URLs to add to your Adblocker whitelist to get a certain "SB" app working? Feel free to PM me if you don't want to post here.

I had it set up and working but lost the list when I put the L preview on my device.

Not exactly what you asked, but adfree (just using default settings) works with certain apps with no issue for me at present.

Boards.ie app. Really nice first step IMO.

Very lacking, too early for release imo, cannot quote and does not go to last unread post. Back using touch

Edit, I see you can quote, just didn't work for me first time. Another issue is that you cannot see who thanked posts. I'm trying to like it, but I'm finding it hard work

For minimalist puzzle fans who want something fresh, Blek came out recently for Android (Google Play / Amazon)

The Play version wasn't available for my Kindle Fire HD, so I grabbed the Amazon version to use on my phone and kindle.

Didn't even bother installing when I spotted this.

We will be rolling out a range of new features over the next few months including:
- Jump to first unread post in a thread

After so long in development, How is this still missing???

I'd consider it on of the most important functions of the App!

It makes it unusable. Open a thread and it takes at least 3 clicks to get to the last unread post.

Surprised to find no mention of Wordfeud. Scrabble type game. Play with friends or strangers. Ultimate time waster.

Anyone have an older version of the rte player prior to 1.0.34 ?

chrislad · 02-07-2014 11:22PM

The Boards.ie app looks great but it's very buggy.

I'm getting double icons for syncing, it won't go to the last page, just reloads the first page and won't let you scroll on, and links to some forums are broken.

That said, when it does get updated, it will be a much better alternative to the touch site.

My HTC One m7's battery life is appalling lately. Have Greenify and had Battery Doctor but uninstalled it. Any good battery apps? I have about 25GB of music on it, I wonder if I delete most of it will that improve the battery life or is it irrelevant?

No expert, but I'd guess the amount of music is irrelevant.

Most likely it's a rogue app. Have you updated the software or changed any location services settings recently?

I think in most cases like this it comes down to an app or service running in the background that you're not aware of. If you have rooted the phone, check out the Wakelock Detector app, just to see if anything is keeping it from going to sleep properly. Also, think about apps you installed around the time the battery started being an issue, could be that one of them is not behaving.

+1 for Lean Data. Haven't used the others

jeffk · 03-07-2014 11:34AM

Also which Greenify?

If you haven't the donation pack then you cant hibernate system apps

Haven't rooted it. Might be the world cup app alright, it's the only one I can think of.

Thanks both of you, will download those apps.

@Jeff - the free version, yeah it's very limited but better than nothing I suppose.

You’re welcome
I know it’s annoying to have poor battery life, especially when older phones lasted days. A new habit I got into was a top up charge if you can.

Most apps will charge for the full features, at most its around €2(plus most refund if you aren't happy), so even say €10 for a few apps, compared to paying to charge the phone twice or more a day.

Hi. Can someone recommend a free anti theft app? Something that I can use to remotely disable or wipe the phone if it's stolen. Cheers.

Android Device Manager is built in to the phone.

Other popular apps include Lookout & Cerberus
