That's the one I'm trying to get working
It says recording, then when I go to play back the recording, its silent. Must see I'd their is anything obvious that needs adjusting

Sorry. I assumed it would/should work on any device

Are those apps in a bit of a legal grey area? I think you have to tell the other person you're recording them or you could end up in a bit of trouble if they ever find out.

Do you really care. I had a **** load of trouble with grants office losing my documents and crap last year. I recorded every single call i made to them.

Hey, does anyone know of an app that allows you to control your phone with your tablet?

For instance, I'd like to be able to send and view whatsapp messages with my phone via my tablet, if that makes sense.

For WhatsApp, just install it on your tablet, login to the App and messages should start coming in on both the phone and tablet.
Same for a lot of different Apps like Google Hangouts/Talk, emails, if you have say a Kindle book your reading on the phone, etc...

A lot of Apps will harness the power of the 'cloud' to sync across devices.

If you're calling a call centre line, they will probably say "Calls may be recorded for quality and training....". So you say "Thanks very much, I will record them then".

I meant more a conversation between two private individuals, not a call center or government agency. I doubt they care if you record something they are already recording.

To bad when you need them recordings, they are nowhere to be found

I cannot seem to hear the other person on the line unless it's on loudspeaker! Am I missing something?

True. I've had this problem with eircom, the sneaky fu*kers.

Thats how I got it to work too

Sanity, available from the Play Store, has a recorder as well as a load of other call handling features.

So is there an app that will start all your incoming and outgoing calls with a message saying "This call may be recorded for Security or Training purposes".

You know you could always just say it yourself don't need an app for that

Can't install whatsapp on two devices at once, unless they changed it recently, it's either on one or the other device if using the same number.

It can be installed alright. But I can confirm it can only be used on one at a time. It requires a text message pin code to enable activation.

Yup. It takes a bit longer as well because you need to leave the app waiting for the text which it wont get and then it asks for the code from the text. It will disable the other instance of whatsapp on your other device.

I'm swapping between phones a lot, I must check the charge for these texts! My HTC seems to never reverify but the BlackBerry always does.

Not for love nor money can I get that to work.

I just had to install it and it worked straight away. What way doesn't it work for you?

Installed it, set it up, it says recording, but when I go to play back the file, there's no audio

just installed this, when I am have selected a stop and change the orientation of my screen i get the "downloading stop data" popup. Only a small thing.

The_B_Man

Good catch. It redraws the screen and re-downloads the data. This only takes a second for most screens, but the Dublin Bus server they have is fairly slow, so can be annoying.

I'll see what I can do for the next release.

Checking out the amazon app store now so. If i 'purchase' an app, i.e. one of days free ones, do i have to download it today? Getting cat 2G reception from o2 the last few hours. Painful.

If you purchase it through the web page, you don't have to download today. It will be in the cloud and be available to you forever (I think).

What app are you getting?

Angry Birds! :P Maybe world of goo as well. Don't really play games on my s3, had angry birds ages ago but the idea of it ad free now is appealing. I've swiftkey paid for a long time ago. Must have a good look through the rest.

Someone posted an app that can be used to sync game data between devices and I can't for the life of me find it anywhere, been reading threads for ages and no sign of it.

So would anyone happen to know the name of the app or a similar app I can use. Basically I want to be able to play a game on my Nexus 4 then when I pick up my Nexus 7 be able to continue from where I left off. Or at least have most of the game data/saves?

Thanks in advance :-)

I think play games does this.

I took a look at that but I can't seem to find a way to sync my data. From looking at play games it's up to the developers to implement syncing. The particular game I'm playing at the minute is hungry shark evo and it's listed under play games because I've logged into the game using Google+ but it's not got any sync data.

This app that was posted is a generic sync app, as far as I can see. That will take any app data and sync it between devices. I might just email the hungry shark guys and get them to implement it :-P

If you are rooted, Titanium backup will do this. But its a little manual.

That looks like the job, thanks! I didn't realise it was a rooted app though :-(

Thanks for all the suggestions

Not sure if it has already been mentioned but the official RTE player app is now in the play store. Looks pretty good as well!

How does one get the free daily app on Amazon? It appears to be confined to US customers?

Make sure you have downloaded the app from the uk site here.

Once you have that installed you should be able to get any free app from either the UK or US promotions.

What happened to Key lime pie?

The next android os is to be called KitKat.

It's for version 4.4 but that still means version 5 won't be called Key Lime Pie either.

If you install the update through the playstore and your on android 4.3, you will need to reroute your device and flash the supersu zip again for this update to work properly.

You will need a uk based VPN to download (and use these here) from the Appstore + The media player has also been update. Manually required update on both.

Apptoide doesn't have the updated version yet.

Thanks for that John but tried using Hola and Tunnelbear as a VPN to hide my location but Google Play still says I am not in the UK, could you advise me as to what I need to do as I'm anxious to update my iplayer so I can avail of the downloads option?

I just connected to BestUKVPN and loaded the Playstore, then I manually found the apps in the list of all apps and pressed update. The store still thought I was in Ireland but still allowed me to update the apps.

If that doesn't work use the link below that Captain Morgan provided.
