Anyone tried out SoundSeeder?
I've been trying to get it working, streaming music from my N5 to N7, both with KitKat, and I get very choppy playback. It's the streaming app I've been looking for, and I can't get it working :(
You tried speakerfy? Think it does what you want. When i tried it, a while ago, it worked really well

Doesn't look quite like what I want, not sure.
Actually, what I REALLY want is a way to stream spotify from my phone to tablet or vice versa. I tend to plug either into my amp via the headphone port/phono in on the amp.
Seeing as there's no way of doing this with spotify, the SoundSeeder sounded like a potential candidate as it now works with Google Play Music (even though I can't get it working very well). If this worked, I might consider ditching Spotify again and giving Google music all access a chance.

Google and android are starting to piss a bit on my chips. Still prefer it over the iPhone 5s I think. What's the best android phone out there right now. Need to choose a new work phone and dunno to get a N5, HTC One or a S4.
I think the S3 is still a great phone and cheap nowadays. However if work are paying for it go and splurge the dosh.

On Nexus 4, I just decided to go back to using Google keyboard(s) after using a third party one for a while, but on the English keyboard* it will only autocorrect on swipe input (which I don't want to use) and neither of them show suggestions. I have all the right boxes checked in setup, what gives? Does it just suck?
*on the English input on other language keyboards it gives suggestions but doesn't autocorrect

Am considering buying my auld and untechy mum a Tesco Hudl for Christmas. Will be almost solely for skypeing us so she can talk to her grandson and for looking at pictures of said grandson. Hopefully it will get her more into internet and emailing as well as she gets put off by using her rubbish PC.
Seems to get some good reviews for being good but not flashy. Anyone used one or have any thoughts on how a 65 year old mum would cope with it?
I have one, I think it's great. There is a dedicated Tesco menu/button but I've managed to ignore it quite happily. It would be useful if you used Tesco for online shopping.
The hudl itself is more than enough for my needs (mainly Netflix).

My gf wants to get upgrade from her 90's brick to an android phone. Doesn't need to be top spec but what has a good battery life and a decent camera for not too much money?

I had one for a year after losing my S2 and wasn't too impressed. Slow browser, sluggish to do any multitasking and a bit unresponsive overall. I did root mine and install CM10, so that might not have helped.
If I was buying new right now I'd get the Moto G for a non power user and a N5 for someone who likes to play with options.

Compared to a 90s brick no smartphone has 'good battery life'
They 'all' have decent cameras.What is your budget?
Minium you can enter android for is £80ish
I'd recommend you spend at least double that.Budget is less than £80 so I was going for second hand and then unlocking if needed. I know battery life is rubbish but was looking for the best available.
I'll look at the Moto G mashton mentioned. What about some of the older Samsung models? Anything worth looking at there?

So something weird happened yesterday - I got an alert fro Google to authenticate a phone number I did not recognise. Naturally I did not, anyone else had this?
After my gmail got hacked in summer I changed my password and switched to 2 step thingy with the numbers that change every minute, i assume this is the same person, anything else I can do short of binning the account and starting again?

I'm looking at getting a tablet for someone, but I'm not really sure where to start and what to look for.
Are there any decent online guides - I'm not finding anything that helpful on cnet? Also reviews for tech stuff just seem to get shitter, as tech moves faster. It all just seems to be old or marketing blurb regurgitated.
I basically just want to get an idea of what I should be looking for and how to find it.
Wants are:
sub£250
android
good in the sun / limited glare
robust
some sort of expandable memory - usb port?
Not too big
-
Nexus 7, it's sweet.
-
That's what I keep thinking. Not really for any reason than it has good reviews and is small. I guess to make a tablet a bit more rugged you just add a rubber case.
I should also add that this will basically only be used for:
- email
- photos / managing photos
- skype / IM
- backgammon and possibly some other media
Also does anyone know if there is likely to be a successor around Feb? Because I could also buy it then rather than for xmas.
- email
