One of the problems I had with Amazon Instant Video on Android was casting to video to a Google Chromecast Device.
You need to download the Instant Video app which now working officially on Tablets finally ! You can download it from the Amazon App Store.
If you don't have the Amazon App store not to worry , just follow these instructions to install it:
On your device, check the option that allows downloads from “Unknown sources.” It’s usually found under Settings > Security.

I recently subscribed to Amazon Prime Instant Video and discovered issue with playback on my PC.
When I tried to play a video a Contents Permission Error 6036 came up :
This meant one of my cables , the DVI cable between graphics and the monitor was not HDCP compliant. I found this quite annoying having to unplug the monitor anytime I wanted to watch a video on the TV which was attached via HDMI.
The solution I found was to change...

Hello this is a little post with links to information about rooting your Acer Liquid E2 and possibly increasing the internal memory limit.
Firstly though BACKUP everything. Seriously do it!
For Liquid E2 running Android 4.2.2 and above you can use Kingo Android Root . See this thread for full information about it and how to use it. I used this method on my phone and it worked just fine.
For Liquid E2 running Android 4.2.1 and below there are a number of different methods - see this thread for instructions.
As you may have noticed...

I thought I would quickly write up how I got the OK Google Voice search to do the voice detection from the homescreen on Android Jellybean ( v 4.2.2) .
Firstly is to make sure the Google Search app is fully up to date and the Ok Google Detection is enabled in the app. You need to set the language to English US as well.
For those on older non KitKat phones and tablets the way I made OK Google hotword detection was to download the Nova Launcher.

Hello all today I thought I would do a list of all the mobile phones I have had (far too many!). I always very much enjoyed getting new phones as they were a relatively inexpensive way of playing with new tech and gadgets. As such I was an early adopter of new phones and frequently bought phones that others wouldn't get - such as all the Siemens phones whilst everyone had Nokia 3310 phones! As the list below shows I bought some good phones and well...

In honour of Muse releasing the Live At Rome Olympic Stadium DVD / Blu-Ray and CD (and not one of the Emirates Stadium grrrr) I created a little video playlist featuring all the songs from the Saturday 25th May show. This way you can experience the gig without the annoying people, lovely body odours or braving the London Underground home.
Of course you should buy the Muse Olympic Stadium DVD because it will be amazing and to capture the madness...

This a post about some useful android apps that I use on my phone.
My phone is a not particularly powerful , has that much storage space or even has a large screen so the apps I mention below are chosen with that in consideration.
So if you have an older android phone that is what these apps are geared towards.
Given the ridiculous length of contracts in the UK I imagine many are in the same situation as me with an older phone...

One of the wonderful things about London is the way the city lights up at night.
No where is this more true than along the River Thames with its multitude of iconic bridges and tourist landmarks such as the London Eye and St Pauls Cathedral.
I personally very much enjoy walking around the River Thames at night. In the middle of the urban hustle and busy nature of London it is actually quite relaxing. Standing across the London Eye as...

As Autumn approaches new and old tv shows are returning back to our screens.
This blog entry is about my thoughts on a couple of new shows that I am liking so far. Hopefully you will like them as well !
Marvels Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D
As the name suggests this show follows a group of individuals being put together as a team by Agent Coulson (he lives! or does he...) to investigate the cases S.H.I.E.L.D hasn't classified as yet.
The...

In honour of the DVD/Bluray release of Star Trek Into Darkness I am uploading a few pictures I took from the Imax premiere of Star Trek Into Darkness 3D that I went to earlier this year.
This was the first 3D film I had actually been to see in the Imax. The 3d definitely works better in the Imax than at a conventional cinema just due to the size and quality of the Imax screen.
If you have never seen a film in the Imax then all I can say is GO AND...
