Hi all. I've just put my app "Snapmute" to the Google Play store. It's a remote for your phone that does one thing - mute and unmute your Samsung Smart TV. Think of it as The Clapper for muting the commercials. 2 important features: It lets you mute / unmute your TV handsfree, using a snap, a...

I recently got an OTA OS update (Nexus 5) and I've been finding some days that the battery seems very slow to charge. It corrects when I restart, but I'm wondering if there's something going on in the OS to cause that..?

If only there were red. Doesn't really matter though, because my case is going over it 5 minutes after it's out of the box...

It is very much a personal preference thing at this point. There are far more similarities between the platforms than there are differences. Most of my friends who are artsy types naturally gravitate to the iPhone, while my friends who are software developers go Android as their primary device...

Sometimes an app can have background processes that may hang or run amok, and can be a drain on your battery. If you're finding you have lower battery life thank expected, that might also be a good reason to find out what apps you don't need.

I've been interested in Pebble for a while. Can anyone give me a sense of how they like the Timeline interface?

I agree. I've got a N5 2014, and I think my next will be another N5. I really like Nexus for the direct OS updates, but the 6 just seems a bit too enormous to make me feel comfortable with it as a phone.

There are also PCs on a stick, if you want even more functionality.

False, though I do think it's pretty derivative. The next poster has had a broken bone at one point.

iMediaShare is another good app for sharing media from your phone to your Samsung Smart TV.

Are you sure you have the correct HDMI cable types? As with most tech things, the "standard" of HDMI has 3 sub-types, none of which fits the other. Type "A" is the type you usually see, while Type "B" is a mini version. Type "C" is in-between the other 2 sizes. If it turns out the TV has an HDMI...

I would love 120/240 fps on Android. Is it just a software thing, or do the CCDs tend to be too slow to sustain that kind of a frame rate?
