    Random playlists aren't so random

    Anyone have an issue with Spotify where the playlists aren't as random as they should be? My main playlist has circa 500 songs in it, many of them by the same artists. I find it will clump several songs by the same artist together. Admittedly, I should hear some of the same groups on my hour...

    Chainfire announces the end of SU Development

    https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/05/05/chainfire-creator-supersu-announces-end-root-app-development/ TBH, I think most switched over to Magisk when he sold SU to that secret company no one knows anything about.

    Pictures in Sky News

    https://news.sky.com Can anyone using the Samsung Internet browser see pictures on the Sky news site? I've tried with my ad blockers off, and on both 4G/WiFi to no avail. It works fine using Naked Browser Pro and Firefox, but pictures don't load using the default Samsung browser.

    Student takes a photo of a single atom

    https://www.epsrc.ac.uk/newsevents/news/single-trapped-atom-captures-science-photography-competitions-top-prize/ Not only does he take a photo of an atom, he manages to sly in a Carl Sagan reference when he's describing what happened too.

    Fingerprint Validation Failure

    I'm having a bit of an issue with the above. Whenever I try to log in using my stored fingerprint, it tells me it recognises that it's my fingerprint, but when it attempts to validate the log in, it fails, vibrates and asks me for the master password before letting me log in. I did flash a new...

    Google bans apps which put ads on your lock screen

    http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/11/30/google-finally-bans-apps-include-shady-lock-screen-ads/ About time, tbh. :) Unless the app is designed to alter the lock screen, it is no longer allowed to display ads there. Does CleanMaster display ads on your lock screen? I've seen some people...

    Want to take better pictures?

    Use a MacDonalds box apparently.... http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/big-mac-box-photograph-trick-professional-portraits-looking-pictures-a7924471.html Yep, they definitely all look like they've been taken by a professional photographer. I like the way it over illuminates the subjects...

    Anyone have experience with Fossil Smart watches?

    As title really? I'm looking at getting a smartwatch and due to limited availability of a number of brands over here, I'd narrowed it down to the Gear S3 or the new Fossil Gen 3. I'm leaning towards the Fossil as it's Android Wear as opposed to Tizen (and my regular watch is a fossil). Whilst...

    Help Google Voice shortcuts

    I've just bought a fancy bluetooth car kit so my other half can make and take calls whilst driving. She's managed to get the hang of it ok, but wondered if there's a way to change the voice shortcut for calling someone instead of changing their contact name. I'm in her phone as "ICE John", so...

    Free watch and headphones (Three UK only)

    http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/free-lg-watch-style-b-o-play-headphones-worth-358-with-lg-g6-pay-monthly-contract-2724370 Seems a pretty good deal if you're looking for a G6 on contract.

    Android Pay thinks I'm rooted

    Anyone else seen this before? I'm not rooted at the moment (but that will change later tonight). It seemed to work ok yesterday, but I can't access it today. The only thing that's changed is I went in to download mode last night to see if Odin picked up the phone or I needed to install drivers...

    Nougat Update

    Not sure if this is old news, but the 7.0 appears to be rolling out at the moment. I updated this morning, for some reason, I was set to manually update so not sure if this is old news and the rollout has been ongoing for some time.

    Red Tint (But not the issue Samsung fixed)

    I took delivery of the S8+ today! I like it, but I'm not amazed by it. It's certainly fast, the screen is amazing and I'm not finding the finger print scanner location too much of an annoyance. The settings menu is confusing though and it feels as though there are options within options...

    A month (or so) in

    Is the S8+ worth it? Are folk still enjoying it? What are the annoyances etc? I'm due my upgrade on Saturday and for an age, the s8+ was it. However, I had the opportunity to muck about with the ZX Premium last week and my head was potentially turned. The XZ is also receiving pretty...

    Blocked for rooted/unlocked users

    https://www.xda-developers.com/netflix-app-currently-unavailable-for-rootedunlocked-users/ Hopefully this is a mistake and will be fixed soon. A pretty shitty move if it's intentional though. I'm presuming sideloading would still work.
