Updates to JW Library (iOS, Android, Windows)

[SUNRAY]

I am enjoying the Concordance! Just go to "Bible" and tap magnifying glass...type in word, scroll in black window..tap word...select "All Verses"...That's our Concordance!!!!

[AH173]

Enjoying new Android update. For morning worship it makes it easy to screencast to Roku the daily text and then the JW broadcasting videos. SEAMLESS INTEGRATION! ☺

[Bosko]

New update is great. Even in my language are lot of publications.

I can't wait for the Bible.

The link to the watchtower article at the foot of the 'daily text' seems to be broken, anyone else have this?

I have a Nexus 7 running Lollipop 5.0.2.

I have a Nexus 7 running Lollipop 5.0.2.

Yes, I have the same problem. Probably another bug for them to fix in a future update.

Unlike the i-products, androids simply change to a bigger SD card. YIPPEE! Mine is updating as I type.....                

Unlike the androids, PCs simply change to a bigger hard drive.

I've got the same problem. For me it's no big deal in comparison to the other features that was upgraded. I'm sure it'll be dealt with. ☺

This new ability to download videos from JW Broadcasting could be of great benefit to our brothers who cannot afford internet access.  They could a use tablet at the Kingdom Hall (before or after the meeting), or another place with free access, and download the latest videos to watch later at home.  Might be worth bringing this to the attention of some of our brothers.

I like the new updates ... however, I will continue to do what I have been doing.

• I d/l the videos onto my computer
• I connect my tablet to the computer
• I copy the files from the computer to the "external" SD card in my tablet
• I play the videos from the SD card
• I do the same thing with the Magazines and KM's

This frees up my tablet memory for things I cannot do this with.

I find it easier to download them to my tablet and use ES File explorer to move them to a folder on my external SD card. It saves the hassle of connecting to the computer, etc. Even "my files" will do the job.

[Stavro]

If you have a terminal app, you can also make a symbolic link from the default folder on the internal memory to a dedicated folder on the SD card, so you'll have room for all the files AND retain integration in the JW Library app.

Well, here's your problem. Your tablet is over 6 months old! No wonder it's obsolete.

Obsolete at six months? He said "Nexus", not "iPad". 

[Joey]

Same issue with my Samsung.Which is 2 months old.

[cmcewen]

Okay, let's look at this.

 

(1) There's a problem.

(2) Whenever there is a problem, someone/something has to be blamed.

(3) It is either with the software or the hardware.

(4) If the problem is with the software, then the blame falls on our hard working brothers. I don't see this as an option. I'm just tickled pink that we have this much!

(5) Therefore it is the hardware.

[GrumpysWife]

Awesome, I love it. Even if the link is broken, seems like everything else is working.

I do the same thing.  Too bad there isn't an option to download to your external drive.

Have to plug it into something to charge it ..... why not do two jobs at once

[SUNRAY]

Any possibility of getting Watchtowers added to the publication uploads?

To each his own

I would guess only if the branch adds it to JW Library like it did with all the videos.

Stavro, which Android terminal app do you recommend? I think ES file explorer has one integrated but I'm not sure and I'm not where my tablet is at the moment.  

[Stavro]

I use "Terminal Emulator for Android" and "BusyBox", though the latter is more of a convenience than a necessity.

 

I thought ES File Explorer had a built-in terminal, though I can't find it in the app, and the app store page doesn't mention it anywhere.
