Anyone wishing to watch US content on Netflix should try Hola.

I've been using it for a few weeks now and it works effortlessly and is worth it seeing as it's free.

Thanks, will give it a go :cool:

At the moment I've got my music synced up using Google Play but this is just for playing from the 'cloud'. I'm going on my holls soon and can't really use this, is there something like Itunes for the Iphone where I can manage my music locally then sync up the phone every time I connect ?

From what I can find so far it looks like its just a case copying the tracks over manually.

In Google Music, just select to 'pin' whatever music you want, it then downloads it to your device.

I used to use an jailbreak tweak for my iphone called Clever pin, which would disable the pin when i was connected to my home network. Any such app on Android? Non root. For now.

I use a program called Llama.
It uses the cell towers first, but you can add a condition that when it's connected to your home network you can disable the pin entry

Cheers, is there any way to specify where it stores the local music as it seems to do it to the phones memory instead if the sdcard

Can't you get a free upgrade to HD box, you don't need to have HD package.

Fantastic recommendation. Literally wasted half hour setting up profiles and tasks. Automation at its finest!

Anyone using the latest version of Nova?

I've got an issue where there's old apps showing up in the app drawer, but they were uninstalled days ago. The only way to get rid of them is to clear the data for Nova, but it's pain having to do this when I uninstall an app :/

On the beta yeah, not the final version though.

Hmm I'm on the latest Play Store version.. odd.

Father Ted · 13 May 2013 at 15:01

I'm running the latest version and have no such issues.

Does anyone know of an app that can open and auto play the standard music player on a galaxy s3, when the phone has connected to a specific bluetooth device?
