    This integrated message app looks like it has loads of potential.

    Until you can respond natively within the app, it's a bit useless. The notification panel in android does the same thing.

    I'm horribly addicted to Clash of Lords 2 and Castle Clash atm, if anyone has suggestions for similar or better :) Not Clash of clans though, I exhausted that last year.

    Agreed. Will be worth watching though as I suspect that critical feature may be developed.

    Amazon FAOTD are so atrociously bad more often than not. It's a terrible app store.

    go to your laptop or desktop.
    click the link http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JFZB5DM
    sign in and install it to the cloud.
    then log into the amazon app store and check my cloud and its there.

    just checked it again and I was able to do this


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,756 ✭✭✭Thecageyone


    It shows up here for me on the amazon app I have installed, must have the US one then, that'll explain the dollars :D

    How do I change to the UK one?

    you dont need to uninstall any of them. just log into the amazon account from either .com or .co.uk and change the address of your device.

    Devils Attorney is free if you sign up to Humble Bundle Newsletter

    Quite a good game and well worth downloading for nothing, couple of quid on Playstore and gets good reviews.

    Can you explain that a bit further? Signed up and.......nothing, got a email saying download their app and sign up, nothing about the game after entering email address.

    EDIT: the direct link for the apk is hidden under 'show android binaries'

    Is CM browser playing up for anyone else today?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 7,527 ✭✭✭G1032


    Last app switcher. Does what it says on the tin and switches to the last app used. Very handy.

    AVG Pro only 59p on Amazon Appstore:

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B009361C5O

    Not sure if an AV on Android is necessary but €11 and lots of good reviews on Google Play though!

    No need, google scans everything. Even untrusted sources.

    In actual fact it can be detrimental to the android os to have these anti virus and app scanners on a phone or tablet.

    Gives you the anti theft locator type thing too. I have a couple of apps that do that already, but a good enough price for it I think.

    That did the trick, cheers ;)

    The Amazon store may not be as good as the play store but I got some good freebies off there already, like Threes and Riptide 2. No harm checking it once a day to see if there's anything nice :)

    Why is this?

    I think its something to do with interfering with the way android works. I read an article about it somewhere, I will try dig it out.

    what about web protection?

    Any bad stuff I've read about needs User input to infect the device, ie, ya have to click OK when it asks you to.

    So if you didn't click on something to get asked something like that then don't click and you'll be grand.
