Yep, as I said they're all pretty bad. Pulseaway is the most professional looking, but not really geared for what we want (temperature monitoring).

Any games recommended for a long flight? Had a look on the play store and most look pretty pants!

Score hero very addictive though once you run out of lives you have to wait a short while

All excellent. The only one I would add to that is The Silent Age.

Ignore the in game upsells and Peggle is pretty good. I finished it without needing to buy an extra lives etc. It does time you out but can over come it by changing the clock on your phone

Yup peggle is a great time killer and can be completed without purchases if you're patient

Just a heads up for those that didnt szee it.

Teamviewer has updated some stuff so now you can take full remote control of a mobile phone. I tried it and it works brilliantly. Its like you have the phone in your hand and have access to everything.

I plan on putting it on my dad's new phone as I just bought him his first smartphone. It means I can fix things should he get mixed up and changed a setting etc.

Thanks for the recomendations, will check some out.

Also, Solid Explorer is 50% off at the moment.

The iOS version looks like a glorified chat program.

Richie · 25 Dec 2015 at 23:41

So I see.... I used the Android one on my own phone from my desktop PC... Its brilliant :cool:

I guess iOS is too locked down.

Hi guys, just over over to android in the last few days and have installed a few apps mentioned in this thread. Im looking for an app that will allow me to change what's is shown in the bar at the too of my screen when I drag down. Also if I can change some of the icons like battery for example, I'd like it to show battery percentage c

Battery percent enabler works on the su6.

Gives you the percentage in the battery icon.

Best app for backing up my tablet? Going to buy a 64gb micro sd so can point it there

Thanks

Hoping this is another simple request... On its I have an app that I fill in whenever infill up with furl called Road Trip. I input my odometer, fuel price per litre and how many litres and the app shows me mog, £ per mile and stuff like that. Is there any kind of Android app that does the same? I've had a search for the same name on lavatory but nothing came up. Annoyingly I,'ve paid for the premium app on its too,
