Android App requests / Looking for an app that does X - thread

Stellio if you are old school and use folders. Avoid Neutron. Hellishly expensive and very cumbersome to use. PM me if you want a link to my website, where I looked at several.
 
Gone mad music player is also a good one, I use it over poweramp, nice interface.
 
Mx Player Pro is the only player for video, supports one touch to pause(VLC you have to touch to bring up the controls and then press the pause button, what bs is that, it's a touch screen device!), swipe to seek FF or RR, totally glitch free in my experience.
 
I'm looking for a app that you can use to manage/limit wifi usage.

There's plenty of apps that limit mobile data usage, but none of them seem to be able to manage wifi usage the same way.

Any ideas?
 
Yes Guys, hope I can get some guidance here?
I have a retail shop, and a very big part of this business is preparing orders for customers (meat, fruit, veg, groceries). Until now we used the manual method, writing orders in a normal A4 book. But, as business grows, this methods doesn't work, lots of mistakes and time consuming.
I need an app, or whatever, where I can install a tablet in the workplace, which then sync to various devices where orders need to be entered, example the switchboard, myself, walk in customers. Then on the workplace tablet, the person preparing must be able to maybe tick off the prepared items, and enter weights of meat and veg, which then again sync to the other devices for invoicing, etc.

I was thinking of using excel, together with dropbox, but maybe you guys knows of a better solution? Main thing is, the system must allow for order entry from various sources, and editing of weights etc from the other side.

Thanks a million.

Google Sheets?
 
I'm looking at getting my mom a tablet to chat via Skype. I will set it up so it will be plugged in permanently and displayed on her TV cabinet.

Is there anyway to share a photo album with her device that will constantly display a carousel of photos that I share with her.

She is completely tech unsavy, so this needs to happen seemlessly. So it's almost like a live wallpaper that is linked to Google photos.

Android has a daydream feature built-in, when activated and plugged in it will display whatever option you select from the list

What tablet do you have ?

Thanks

I haven't got her a tablet as yet. Was still weighing my options between iPad or Samsung. It really doesn't need processing power, but needs good front camera for Skype. So the cheapie tabs are out.

Drop box shared documents, also there's plenty online storage solutions that offer shared/team document functionality, I'm sure Microsoft Office also has that.

For each new order a new shared doc is started, once the order has been marked fulfilled the accounts team can invoice it. Maybe use a keyword solution, once the order is fulfilled the user adds the keyword "fulfilled" or similar unique word to the document title and the accounts person has an open search tab looking for documents with "Fulfilled" in the title, each time an order is tagged "fulfilled" it will pop up on the search list and they can start invoicing it. Once it's been invoiced the "fulfilled" tag can be changed to "invoiced" etc.
 
Another vote for Google sheets. Remember Dropbox does not handle simultaneous edits. It will start saving different versions and cause chaos (learned this the hard way). Google sheets and some discipline will be perfect.

Ok that would not work great, any online document solution that allows collaboration will work fine, Google sheets would probably be one of the best and works with any device, how much does it cost for business use?

I know it costs a lot of money, and you probably just want a cost saving setup anyway, so this might be contradictory.. But if your business is doing well, why not get a proper product management system In place ie scanners, or auto systems that would do those type of things from an inventory perspective for you. Doing things via excel is going to still give you plenty of errors, as it's still a manual way of doing things.
