I am, as usual, failing to explain things!
I have d/l some items using chrome on my android, I can see them/access them from the downloads app. There is a folder on the android called "download", which I can navigate to from both PC and using android app File Manager HD. However, that folder is (apparently) empty using both navigation methods. So I am trying to figure out where on the device these files are.

Yeah, that's what I thought you were saying. I'm at a bit of a loss there to be honest, Chrome definitely downloads to the folder Download and you can't even configure that anywhere so it's not like you could have it doing something else. If I look at my Download folder I can see all the stuff I've downloaded via Chrome just sitting there, and that's always been the case across all my Android devices.

The only thing to note is that the Downloads app will show you pretty much everything you've downloaded even if you've subsequently deleted it from the file system using a file manager app but that's not what's going on here because you can still open these files from your Downloads app which obviously you wouldn't be able to do if they were somehow deleted.

As you've got a Nexus device it's not even as if you could be looking at a folder on an external SD card or anything, you've only got one file store to worry about. Let me install that File Manager HD app and see if I can replicate what you're seeing somehow...

That File Manager HD's a pretty horrible file manager in terms of how it displays folders but it still did the job, I could see my Downloads folder and the files in it. All I can suggest is to install ES File Explorer and see if that makes any difference as I've no idea why you wouldn't be able to see your files here I'm afraid.

Well, WTF? I think this might be it. The reason I wanted to access the folder is because the items are ebooks and they keep crashing the apps when i try to load them. It never occurred to me that it is maybe because they aren't there!
What a strange design! Is there any way to clear the list?

There's no way to mass clear it but you can select multiple items using the checkboxes against each item and you'll then get a trash can button you can tap to delete them and/or clear them from the list.

Bear in mind though that unless you've manually deleted anything you've downloaded, or moved the files to a different folder, things shouldn't be disappearing from there.

My general advice would be to just ignore that Downloads app and manage your files using a file manager, then what you see is what you get. I honestly never use it for anything.

Tiny Dice Dungeon is fun and simple and clever, but you it has a "stamina bar" and IAPs so you'll all hate it.

I've got it installed and haven't played it yet so thanks for the warning, I can now just uninstall it.

It's not just fun, it's actually quite brilliant really, at least it is in the early stages, I haven't got the grind yet.

If you like gambling based, pokemon-a-like, dice rpg collect-em-ups then give it a go.

All the same people who play Marvel Wallet Quest are recommending this, so no.

I started playing Ramble Planet the other day, a self-described "scavenger hunt RPG", and am thoroughly enjoying it thus far. It's an odd-looking game as the screenshots there attest but there's a real clarity to it's visual design that helps you in your exploration of the planet you find yourself on. And exploration is what it's all about; you do defeat monsters as you level-up but there's no combat to speak of and the entire game is focussed on the discovery of arcane machines and exotic beasts that help you piece together the objectives the game's design hints at. It's one of those games that starts off almost completely opaque and has you wandering around with only the briefest of explanations but the context and requirements come into focus as you explore in a way that compels you forward. The wonderfully pulpy sci-fi flavour text that appears whenever you interact with anything in the game world adds to the surprising richness of the whole thing. With any such game there's obviously a risk it hits a brick wall of incomprehensibility at some point and I can't promise it won't as I'm not all that far in, but so far the way exploration naturally translates into progress and enlightenment is enthralling in the way the best Zelda/Metroidvania games also manage.

Which is all just so much wanky chat from me--and pretty much guarantees you'll all hate it of course--but it's free and excellent so give it a shot. It's also out on Windows and OUYA.

So it is. That makes sense, as it was the constant ads and hassling you to connect it to Facebook which made the first one so popular.

Well, try Bonza instead. Is a bit like a crossword, but easier.


You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

I'm a few hours into this now and can indeed confirm that it is highly enjoyable.

I can see the IAPs but haven't felt the inclination or need to spend any real money yet, so it doesn't appear to be a total gouge-fest.

As with all the best games, a simple concept extremely well done.

It's drag racing, with 6 tiers of cars, upgrading them and its 1v1 against computer or other players.

Features Quests, Career, Tasks and 2 hour, 6 hour and 24 hour races (races only take 8-20 seconds then when the timer is up, the winners get $ and gold to upgrade some more or buy another car.)

Anyway, check it out its very addictive (and possible to play completely free)

Seems alright, but the mute option doesn't mute all the sounds, so it'll have to be deleted.

I find it very limiting that you either have to accept all permissions for an app, or none at all.

What? When you go to install an app pm Android it says, "this is what's going to happen." It's very much a 'like it or lump it' approach.

How would the alternative make any sense? The app's asking for whatever permissions it requires to function, if you grant some but not others there's no way to guarantee it'll even work. You'd get all sorts of weird failures and nonsense when it tried to do shit and hit a permission error. That's just madness.

With each permission, you're adding both a testing requirement and also a development need to code for the missing permission, which may or may not be met due to budget requirements. And with each permission, the number of permission combinations increases on something like an exponential curve.

It's just asking for bugs to be introduced.

Apple added a permissions prompt into iOS6 to allow access to your contacts (without warning, between final GM release and public release, cunts). The app we use for access to email on iPhones didn't know how to handle a user saying no, so it completely crapped out. That was fun.

I genuinely don't understand how you think it's even vaguely possible to expect a functional app if users are able to arbitrarily deny any combination of permissions. My mind is boggled that you think that's at all reasonable.

I would feel more comfortable if apps said why they needed it, and if the categories weren't so vague.

You want ALL my texts? Or just one for verification?

You would make it not run if any of the permissions are missing - much like if you try and install something that requires a camera on a device without one, for example (it shouldn't even be able to install, I don't think, although you could probably force it).

Why offer the choice of denying individual permissions if you're just going to stop the app running when they refuse any of them? What does that accomplish? I think I must be missing something in what you're suggesting.

The thing is, the app isn't asking you, so it can't give you this information. The OS is telling you what the app is asking for access to.

How is this all handled on the iOS side? The only time I've installed iOS apps is my team's shitty iPad app and it never asked any questions or gave any indication what access it needed but I don't know if that's usual or not?

Luckily none of us need to worry about what weird shit we'd have to do just to get by if we lived in Mypworld.

iOS has a run-time prompt (as opposed to Android's install-time list) for each permission an app requests. However, it's a much smaller set that Android's permissions; off the top of my head, access to: the microphone; the camera; the photo library; contacts; calendars; location; probably a couple more I've forgotten. This can result in a deluge of permission prompts when you first open a big app, particularly as the number of permissions has increased over iOS's life. Apps have to be coded to degrade gracefully when a permission is declined.

Some Android permissions don't exist on iOS because all apps get them by default, like the "allow app to access the Internet" permission. All iOS apps can always access the Internet. Other Android permissions are things iOS apps can never do, like access SMS or call a phone number. This allows Android to have classes of apps iOS cannot have, like custom diallers, message clients, launchers, and many more.

iOS 8 tightened this model in a few places. For example, rather than requesting read/write access to your entire contacts list forever (the old model), an app can now say to iOS itself "I want one contact." iOS throws up an OS-level screen where the user picks a single contact, then the app only receives that contact's details and nothing else (and only once, it doesn't see any future changes you make.)

There are third party hacks in some custom Android ROMs that bring an iOS-style permission system to Android. This can expose numerous "bugs" in third party apps when you decline a permission it was expecting to receive. In general, the workaround is to feed the app dummy data when it asks for stuff behind the permission; an empty list for contacts, a black square for the camera, silence for the microphone, and so on. It still makes a lot of apps go bang, though.

No one knows what you're talking about. I don't just mean this time. I mean every single time you express yourself.

Currently playing Light Shadow Racing.


As with all the best games, a simple concept extremely well done.

It's drag racing, with 6 tiers of cars, upgrading them and its 1v1 against computer or other players.

Features Quests, Career, Tasks and 2 hour, 6 hour and 24 hour races (races only take 8-20 seconds then when the timer is up, the winners get $ and gold to upgrade some more or buy another car.)

Anyway, check it out its very addictive (and possible to play completely free)

Seems alright, but the mute option doesn't mute all the sounds, so it'll have to be deleted.


I've actually played loads of this over the weekend, it's really addictive,and racing actually has a skill element to it.

Fucking hell but Botanicula is a good game. Beautifully designed and flat out just fun to play with some of the best sound design I've ever heard on a game on any platform. I've caught myself twice on the train standing there giggling like a loon at the comedy sound some random insect or other has made; it's doing wonders to brighten up my morning commute and I'll genuinely be a bit sad when I finish it.

Out There is pretty cool. Kind of life FTL but prettier, although not as good and more shallow.
