I can't get videos to appear and play from the App TheChive is any one using this App that might have some ideas on the cause?
Thanks
Is anyone using "TheChive" app on their Prime? I get the Pictures that are Posted with this App but No Videos it like I don't have a "Plugin" or something. The Page will load where the Video is to appear but I just get a Blank White area.
I think I have figured it out. This App was made for Apple by the original company and the one out for Android it made by a 3rd party company that allows you to access The Chive webpage. the "true" Apple App has 2 version one is Free Version that only shows Pictures and a Pro pay version that has Video Streaming capabilities. This Android version just not a full version yet so No Video.
I recently got the Asus Prime and want to know the best apps for getting and watching tv and movies, i wouldn't mind paying for the app if need be but preferably wouldn't want to pay for every film and programme I watch, however a free app would be even better! Id like to be able to download in a WiFi area and then watch them on the go when i do not have connection. Also, what app is best for downloading and managing music free music, as I don't fancy playing for each and every song! Finally, i need a word processing app which includes word, PowerPoint and the other basic office tools, this I don't mind paying for as I'd like a good quality processing app. Any help on either of these subjects would be very helpful!
Regards Jack

For movies and shows that you already have (as well as movie trailers and youtube clips I think) I recommend the excellent Mizuu. It's like a tablet version of WMC, Boxee, XBMC, etc. The IMDb app is also an excellent representation of what a tablet optimized app should look like.

Nice post! There is just an error :
-Dice Player with Tegra 2 codec -> Tegra 3 on the HOX+
And personnally I find Kingsoft office better than Officesuite Pro HD, more functions, and Free!
And when I'll have my One X+ I'll take a look on this thread!
yeah sorry for that dice player. And these are just suggested apps, Out there are much more better alternatives.

Yes, I changed to adway .. Will have a look ,soon
Screen off ? Are you crazy, that's the worst app. So much spam and ways cpu

I have a few I can't dismiss in my phone, they are:
Smart Volume Control + - don't have to be searching for options and going from here to there to do something, this app has every major option of the phone in such a little amount of space. Volume control, abitily to create profiles, mute, turn on and off wifi, 3g and others.
Easy Money - manage my bank accounts.
Essential apps for Android
Thanks for this comprehensive list.
I one I that I couldn't live without...
#1 is Evernote With Evernote, all of your notes, web clips, files and images are made available on every device and computer you use. What I really like is it's simple and intuitive interface. nice clean design that allows you to make notes with photos and audio capabilities. I must admit it took a little time to learn all the capabilities it has but I now depend on it. It's a free app.

Poweramp. It's been on all of my android devices. No better player IMO.
I'm now using Neutron as my music player. It's not the easiest to use but the sound quality is amazing!
Other indispensable apps for me:
Adaway
Cache Cleaner NG
Root Explorer
Koush's SuperUser
RealCalc
Super Backup
KeePass Droid
Llama
Calengoo
AIX Weather Widget
Ebay
Mybidder Auction Sniper

I'd recommend you to use 'Droid Light' made by Motorola or 'Tesla LED' by the makers of Nova Launcher, because Brightest Flashlight requires ALMOST EVERY permission, from reading phone calls to Full Internet Access, whereas these apps don't use any such permissions

IS there any way to use the HTC One as a remote for my Nikon D7100? I know I've got an IR blaster, Bluetooth, esc... But I'm not sure if there is any way to go about using it as a remote shutter activator. My camera does not have Bluetooth, however it does have to inferred receivers.
Let me know if you guys have any idea.
Thanks
-N
sure, you just need to make a app for that.
Moved to Q&A
Ir blaster on the ONE is kinda pointless.

you can
not true. using it with my D7000 and it works just fine. you just have to create a new remote then when it says choose tv brand you select unkown manufacturer and then you go an manually teach the phone what you want to do. now,providing that you already have a remote compatible with your camera you just pres the remote button and set it to whatever button from the remote you want. there are 26 of them so there are plenty :laugh: i set mine to the OK one because i think it is the easyest one to hit. enjoy!
This app looks interesting for stuff like that: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.remotefairy2&hl=en but I wasn't (yet) aware you could train the built-in remote from HTC as described in the above post.
shameless plug
Shameless plug here, but I put together an app that does exactly this
There are a few on the play store, but search for "SLR Camera IR Remote" for mine (been a long time member here, but been lurking a lot.. so I don't have enough posts to post external links).
I wish the remote app was a bit simpler. Having to bounce all over to control my tv and dvr is rather annoying...
It should just need an update to add the capability to recognize other things such as cameras that have IR sensors (personally I didn't know such a thing existed)
The app needs a squeeze to put as much control as possible into one screen so you don't have to bounce back and forth. A toggle somewhere to swap between as well. Won't happen unless someone makes an app or HTC decides to see their folly.
Still, it's unique, so it's nice to use when I don't feel like gettin up for the actual remote lol.
