New essential Android apps thread

someone help me out here please. How do i turn on HUd mode in Navmii, I've managed to enable it once, now for the life of me I cant see how to do it. I'm probably being dumb and blind here.

edit - nvm got to tap your speed, not intuitive at all. Only found that due to a tweet by them.

unless your battery is dud, or you're a heavy user, then the s8+ better should be fine. if you're finding you need to save battery to make the phone last, wifi being on is the least of your issues. screen brightness, perhaps apps that are forever running etc. the latest versions of android do a good job of managing battery and get better each year. go ahead if you like having apps auto do stuff, but if it's battery saving llama is unlikely to do anything for you, may even increase battery use with the constant checking of your location.
 
Fairly sure the answer is no said:

My battery life is great, I just wondered about trying to squeeze every bit out of it. I'll try leaving WiFi and mobile data on together and see how I do.

Thanks.
 
Does anyone know of an Android app or a workaround that does this...

In a WhatsApp text message, I type a word, the auto-correct changes it to something not even close. I want it that if I type the same word again it just accepts it and not change it a second flipping time. I know I should pay more attention to what's being changed as I type, but it's usually several words per message, and I send a lot. Drives me potty
 
No issues with Google keyboard Gboard, when it does that and I go back to fix it to what I type, it doesn't "auto correct" it back.
 
I like this app, but then I might be a little biased...


Just a simple app to help calculate how long it will take you to complete something, or how often you will need to do it to complete on time.

For example, I want to watch all of the current Game of Thrones episodes before the new season starts. It will tell you how many a week you need to watch to be done in time.

Or, I'm working through an online course. It has a number of lectures, I've watched 20 so far in 4 weeks, there are 154 in total, how long will it take me at this pace?

Are there any apps that allow me to play music from my Android phone through my car stereo without any extra hardware? Looked but can't see.

no app is going to help you.
you need some hardware, but its likely your car already has the hardware needed. blue-tooth or aux in is the most likely.
if it has bluetooth just connect the phone up.

Thanks, car radio doesn't have Bluetooth. Oh well time to burn some discs.
 
As much as I love chrome, ads are killing web browsing for me big time now, getting ridiculous the amount to the point it even slows browsing down a fair bit so using samsung internet browser with adblock plus and it is pure bliss :cool:

Might want to have a look at this:

Found out you actually can access your Samsung bookmarks on desktop Chrome with this extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/samsung-internet/epejdmjgfibjaffbmojllapapjejipkh?hl=en

Also comes with an option to import your Chrome bookmarks.

Although you will need a Samsung account. I don't know if I can trust Samsung with that :p.
