Not limited at all if you just want the Christmas countdown.
It'll become fairly obsolete though on 25/12.

Don't know if this is allowed, but does anyone know where I can get the apk files for free apps?
I'd like to archive my apps that way so that I don't have to waste space updating the market to the play store to get them again if something happens.

Should have mentioned that the phones not rooted, and won't be.

Unless you are worried about internet usage, The Google Play store will automatically download all [most] of your apps, if something happens [factory reset phone, get new phone etc]. You have to configure your account to do this [tick the auto backup and restore options]

The memory on the phone is too small, so I'm not updating to the google play store. I just need something that will cover me if my phone auto uninstalls apps to free up space again. It did it last night so I want to avoid it again.

Try this.

For tablet users this is a must, €2 but worth it for the license:

Rotation control

MoodeRator

Or this one for free?

For anyone looking for a good & free podcatcher, try Podcast Addict (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bambuna.podcastaddict). It does it's job very well. Search is a bit crummy, but grab the xml link from the podcast's site and you can enter that.

Got it yesterday and have it up and running. It's unreal and all I've done is watch the intro! I'll sync up the ps3 controller tomorrow and give it a proper go. Play Store reviews have went up to four stars on average which suggests its running well. They were like one and a half!

Just released on the 11th of December. A nice bit of retro nostalgia.

Is there any App that allows you play your music through the car radio maybe through the bluetooth?

If your car stereo can receive audio over bluetooth, and its paired with the phone it should show as an option on the standard music player, or indeed any sound that comes from the phone in fact.

Most of the stock ones do, just connect through bluetooth first. I use Player Pro meeself.

Sorry for stupid questions
Have an 8 year old car with radio does that make a difference? Does it tell me what frequency it is tuned into?

It's an FM transmitter you're looking for, not bluetooth.

You're looking for an FM transmitter really. You can get them really cheap, like this one;

I purchased this a few months ago. Enabled up to two devices connected simultaneously. Might want to play music from one device while being able to take or make calls on your primary phone.

It's an excellent device. Only downside is that you cannot charge while using it. I tried, it doesn't work. Manual says the same thing. Not a huge thing if you just remember to bring it in and charge it once or twice a week [depending on usage]

Just discovered Samba File Sharing

Basically a Samba filesharing server for Android. Just tested it there on my wdlive and I was able to go through the folders of my phone and play and view any file. Was also able to access my external sdcard which is brilliant. Also if you had a tablet or iPad this could be a very handy app.

I'm using Mantano Ebook Reader (premium version) and absolutely love it! Love the page turning animations, they are as close as you can get to the official Goof Books application and magazines look great on them!
