I haven't been able to play videos on Facebook or on most websites for a few days now. Nor html 5 videos through gyfcat etc. Anyone else having trouble? HTC One M8 on whatever the latest versions of everything are..

Does it work on wifi? What network are you with?

O2. Wifi /3g makes no difference. These are the messages I get on vimeo, Facebook and chrome web pages

YouTube works fine on the app and stock browser but not through chrome. I'll try reinstalling but Facebook is still an issue

E: reinstalling chrome didn't help

Hmm, not sure why the videos will not play. Did you disable or remove any of the stock apps?

Nova Launcher has updated, with Android L elements. Using it with the Moonshine icon pack and so far loving it, although the slide up animation feels slower, even with changing the animation speed.

I'm not sure as to whether or not it has been posted yet (more than likely has) but if you want to get up and running without the boredom I recommend Zombies! Run!

Best app to transfer extsd card and device files to another phone (OPO) I paid for TB but not sure I want to root it.

Would you not just plug them in to a PC?

Is NBA Jam any good?

Can anyone reccomend an app for making notes/reminders

mrk · 14 Jul 2014 at 12:04

Google Keep. It's also syncd with https://keep.google.com/

+1 for Keep. The only thing I, and many others it seems, would love to see is the possibility to share notes. I use it a lot as a shopping list, sharing that with the wife would be most useful. We could just add to the list and whoever goes to the shop can tick items off as they buy them.

Swapped from evernote for that very clean and more features.

If you shop at ASDA, their app works this way.

not an app, but if you search on the web version of the playstore without a search term in, you get unicorns

Not that I know of. To add to the problems Google music is now doing this when I try play any music that isn't downloaded to my phone.. Frustrating now.
