apps

[telectrix]

just acquired an android tablet. can anyone tell me how to get apps. ( e.g. cable calc ) on it? bearing in mind that anything with bytes, i'm a dinosaur.

Use the play store and search for either megger cable calculator or the draka one, best 2 i have found. Just click install and it will download and do it all itself. You may have to accept permissions

Another useful tool is the bosch toolbox. I use the measurment app for recording my first fix cables on downlights

will try and help , got my wife a Samsung Tab for xmas she loves it.
Anyway you should find an icon on your tablet under apps called play. It is a google app, you will need a google login / email account to get to the play store. Anyway when you have followed the instructions it eventually takes you too the store where you can look at all the free stuff and search for apps you may want.
BTW the apps icon looks like a 4x4 set of white dots

The bosch app allows you to take a photograph of a room and add dimensions and notes to it, so i take a photo of my cables before the plasterboarding is done and record the measurments so when i come back i know where to make my holes

that's useful for my phone. now i'll have to work out how to get it on the phone. what's the full title of the app?
