New essential Android apps thread

Anyone else noticed a surge in surveys on the Google Opinion Reward app? Seems to be mostly asking if I've been to this or that place. Easily got a good amount in the last week. Now what app to get :p?

I did, but then it was immediately after I'd spend three days travelling back and forth to Perth for work so I just assumed it was picking up extra locations. Probably a bit of both really.

I do get some rather odd and amusing surveys sometimes too, asking if I own an all-electric sports car or whether I've recently participated in a polo tournament.
 
I set my mum up with this some time ago. She told me last week she has about £14 now! Can she 'gift' me things through the store? Could get a few movies...

Just gotta love the swish animations in Solid Explorer. The Floating Action Button is just simply the best =)

Thought you were an ES File Explorer guy? :p


Actually, quick file question - Moved to Z5 so now have Lollipop... I use SyncMe Wireless to sync my music and other files with my PC. Is there a known fault with lollipop that wont let you create folders on the External SD Card of the phone?
 
Since KitKat they have changed access to the SD, by default apps can only write to the app folder. In Lollipop you should be able to grant access to allow the app to access all of the SD - but I think the app has to support it. To be honest the implementation is a bit rubbish.
 
Lollipop SD support is just fine, any app not supporting the correct permission isn't worthy of being installed anyway. All the apps I have which have the ability to write to the SD card were perfectly usable in 5.1, in 6.0 they have free roam, though, which is nice.

ES sold out, so got uninstalled :p
 
Any OneNote users here? Decided to migrate my notes over from Keep to it, but the app seems to crash after logging in, on both my OP2 and N10. A shame, it integrates with Win 10 so nicely as well...
 
Looking for a app that lets you screen mirror over Bluetooth. I want to see my phone screen on my galaxy tab out of my house, so no wifi.

This possible?

My plan is to watch sky go on phone and screen mirror to tab so no need to use tethering data.

If it's not possible, Ive only got 2gb, How much would an hour of sky go use in data terms? I get 4g at work so should get the best quality stream.
 
as far as i understand mobiles can talk to each other via wifi? if i'm right it might be possible to screen mirror over wifi, though streaming sky go on mobile and then passing it also onto a tablet may be too much of a task for a phone given how much it'll be doing at once.

why would you want to screen mirror sky go from mobile to tab? is your tab rooted so can't havesky go? only explanation
 
i figured at first it was because he planned to be using the wifi to stream sky go, so couldn't also use it to push the mirror image to the other device, but then he said he's at work and gets 4g, so i would assume wifi isn't being used at work. i can't figure it out. come on we can work it out before he comes back online.
 
i dont have wifi at work, we arn't allowed to use it.

i wanted to get sky go on my tab for the bigger screen without using my tethering data from my phone. so plan was to sky go on the phone and screen mirror some how to tab.

im not sure how i can set up wifi between phone and tab and it not think its tethered, so i was thinking bluetooth.
 
Bluetooth will still count as tethered. What network are you with and what tariff is it? So far only Samsung SideSync will do what you want. Looking on it further you just need to use wifi direct, which is a direct connection between the two devices (they won't share the internet connection). Not sure on the steps for your devices but on stock Android it's Settings -> Wifi -> Advanced -> Wifi direct.
 
Fairly sure the answer is no said:
yeah it's happened over the last couple months. silly thing is it almost always is the same store. sometimes i get 9p, sometimes 40p~. i'm nearly at £9 now so happy

I've been getting 1 a day sometime 2 for the last few months. Yet my wife and son have had nothing.

I've got around 8 quid in a few months.

I want to spend the money on something but there's really nothing I fancy :-/
