Doesn't that work by default on stock dialler (note3 here)?

If I go to dial 'Mick' for example, I simply start tapping in 6,4, 2, 5 and a selection of Mick's/or numbers that have that sequence of numbers in it, eg, 08-6425 etc comes up.

Yeah every dialer does that. The beauty of dialapp is if I start typing say, 'McDonald's' it brings up a list of 'McDonald's' in the area that can be dialled straight away by pulling their phone numbers from the net. It's worked with pretty much any type of business I've tried in Dublin. Very handy

Ah.... Sorry, I completely misunderstood you, that sounds extremely interesting actually.

Must give it a go here.

What is the story with Greenify?
I recently rooted my phone especially so I could buy the donation pack and greenify some system apps. However when I try I get a message saying "this app is ungreenifiable" , that's everything from samsung apps to google hangouts.
I have followed the instructions and enabled "experimental features" in greenify. So what am I doing wrong ,any have any advice?

What apps are you trying to Greenify?

Wipe data
Wipe cache
Check what mode you have in options
Check exposed installer
Try beta versions
Uninstall/reinstall

I never knew my N4 could do that. Pretty cool.

Dialapp is pretty awesome. If you have a nexus it does it already by default but basically you can type the name of a business directly in the dialer and it brings up the number ready to call. I have it set up with nova launcher so my regular phone app is on the home screen but if I flick up it launches Dialapp. Extremely handy for ringing takeaways, work contacts etc.

Which one ? There seem to be a few in the play store

Thanks for that I've been looking for something along the lines of this for a while. I will give it a go and see how I get on with it.

Anyone else getting a bunch of errors on the Play Store devices section? Was checking out the Chromecast and Wireless charger and keep getting errors, and a message saying it's not available in Ireland.

+1 for dialapp. I really like that you can search for the nearby businesses and then call them directly or get the directions...

I used to run a Google Play Edition ROM on my HTC One, have since switched back to Sense. One of the things I missed the most when going back to Sense was the dialler - the Kit Kat dialler is excellent. This app has solved that issue, nice catch!

Monument Valley only €1.80 at present!

Be warned there is only 10 Levels at present, so short game play!

More bonus levels are in the works.

ustwo is now spending some of its unexpected MV windfall on building out some new levels. There’s no confirmation on exactly how many it will build yet — although Gray says the aim is to roughly double the gameplay time with a sequence of ‘lost scenes’. (Average gameplay time worked out at around 90 minutes.)

Quote taken from here.

Edit: Amazon.co.uk: - Shuttle+ Music Player (chromecast supported) - Free App of the Day!

Or 68 Cent on google play

Amazon app store are doing their $100 worth of free apps again, here's a link to the list of apps on US store, assume UK is largely similar:

Anyone know of a good TV guide? Looking for one with sports guide if possible, but has European and American listing. TV Guide has them, but you have to keep changing the settings to go from one to the other so it's not great. And tv24 only has UK stations. Basically looking for a guide that goes with certain streaming apps

12 of the best new Android apps from July

The best of the year so far and last year in link aswell.

loklok is in the list again this month, POS wouldn't even install right last time I tried it.

Will give it another whirl.

Monument Valley is currently on sale for €1.80.

Absolutely stunning game.

Highly recommend.

AlanS181824 · 06-08-2014 08:10PM

Double posted.

My apologies.

Thargor · 06-08-2014 08:49PM

Visually stunning or good to play aswell?

Both, it looks amazing.

The controls are simply and elegant.

Tap and the character moves!

Guys does anybody use or know of an app that can link my contacts quickly ?

This is the 3rd time in the last few months I've had to re-link my entire contact list. For some reason they just all separate every few weeks and it's a pain to do it manually.

daytob · 10-08-2014 08:02AM

constantly updating the facebook app?
are you backing up to google every week or so?

No linking my contacts together. I could have 2 or 3 numbers for the same people, email address and Facebook and in my contact list on the phone the same person will show up as 4 or 5 separate people.

AndroidGuys did a breakdown of the best browsers on Android at the moment, and one that rated highly is one I had never heard of before - CM Browser.

It's a tiny download, small memory footprint and very fast. Worth a look.

Get your contacts sorted. Just add people as Google contacts only, don't use SIM or phone. You can easily merge double ups when they are in Google contacts. Export your phone and sim contacts to your SD (you can do all at once but concentrate on either SIM or phone seperately) and then import them from SD to Google, then you can edit them on your PC. After you can stop your phone showing SIM and phone contacts or even delete them like I did.

There are then apps that allow you link Facebook and Google contacts to give you thumbnails etc, someone else will suggest one, I don't use FB myself

I've been using the CM browser for a couple of months now. I find it's lightning quick compared to others, and very easy to use.

Loving it, shame you can't change Amazon, eBay etc to UK version. Minor gripes. That and the little a to z tab doesn't appear when searching on boards like it does on chrome. Think it will become my default. Why is chrome so huge an app in relation to CM?

Probably because it's the most used one in the world, made by Google, works really well and and comes pre installed on almost every phone.
