This doesn't work with Google Music. The Marketplace identifies my phone as Japanese and won't even let me start the download, even if connected through a VPN.

hooah posted:Does anyone have a good suggestion for viewing sheet music on an Android tablet? I'm currently viewing PDFs in ezPDF, but it's a little slow to turn pages. Is there another format that might be better, or a program that's geared towards this purpose? To answer my own question: MobileSheets is amazing. Pages turn quicker than any other PDF reader I've tried, and there are lots of great options for musicians - creating link points (repeats, D.S., Coda), bluetooth pedal support, auto-scrolling by line with variable timings. Seriously, this thing kicks rear end. hooah fucked around with this message at 01:00 on Feb 18, 2012 |

I thought Mixmuzik was going to work for me, but no dice. The interface is kind of clunky, which I can deal with, but it's doing weird things like playing music when I disconnect my headphones when I wasn't playing music at all before unplugging them, and randomly starting and stopping songs without force-closing or anything. Any other music player suggestions? I'm thinking of trying Google Music or Pandora, since my 8gb SD card is filling up pretty fast. Which is better? Can one shuffle in my crazy Japanese rap music that I'm sure they don't have available for streaming?

AlexMoron posted:While we're on the subject of Spotify, is there no way to join that site without a Facebook? I put off signing up for a few months because I didn't really care, but now that I'm curious to see what it's like, it looks like there's absolutely no way to join if you don't have a Facebook. That just seems.. really dumb. If you have a real facebook account, watch out if you sign up. Spotify's default settings are set to post every single song you play on your Facebook wall. They're advertising the service that way.

I'm not sure I've seen it mentioned in the thread before, but I want to heavily recommend Skifta as a DLNA/UPnP streaming app. I was looking for something that would let me stream video from one android device to another (first world problems) and found this. The interface is good if a bit ugly, but it has a great Just Works™ factor. It also has a Mac and PC client, and with basically no configuration or worry I've got media streaming from phone to tablet, tablet to phone, and Mac to everything. It's really nice!

I'd like a camera app that can take a burst of photos (ability to choose speed a plus) & spit out a gif. I can do that at present with 2 free apps but it's cumbersome. Any suggestions?

Does anyone have any troubleshooting tips for a constantly crashing spotify on a Samsung Galaxy S-II Epic 4G Touch WiMax by Sprint? I have about 3 weeks of experience with Android on my HP Touchpad, so I haven't had to deal with anything like this. I know this has been happening since the day she got her phone, and sometimes it reports a force close, other times it just silently closes but still reports as playing. I'm guessing something about clearing some cache or something like that, but I don't know the standard steps. Phone is bone stock.

You can probably get some more nuanced troubleshooting from someone else but the IOS version of the Spotify app is a crashy, buggy nightmare as well. If you suspect that the stock ROM has something to do with it, just flash a stable ROM like MIUI or Cyanogenmod. Samsung is supposedly rolling out ICS for the Galaxy S II on 1 March but I wouldn't hold my breath.

The Spotify app has been poo poo since an update a couple months ago. If you add a song to a playlist (including starring a song), the app will crash about 95% of the time. If you are just listening to playlists you've already made, or playing songs through the search function, the app will barely ever crash. I'm guessing this is her problem. I'm using an Evo 3D, but I think this problem affects all Android devices. It pisses me off that I pay them every month and they can't even put out an update for Android. Other platforms have had several updates since the last update for the Android app.

Sometimes I can log out and back in and that works, sometimes I have to reinstall the goddamned thing.

Has anyone had any issues with the new Google Voice app? Each time I get a text, it activates...but then sticks around using RAM even after answering and it doesn't close. I'm not sure if it's because I'm using the Nexus S 4G with GV integration but I'd really like for it just to close after texts are answered or just not open at all except for voicemail.

Two points: 1) This isn't Windows; the app isn't consuming any appreciable amount of resources when it "sticks around using RAM" 2) If you do manage to find a way to continually force it to close, you'll get delayed texts/voicemails as well as decreased battery life as the app keeps trying to restart after it's been killed.

I'm having trouble with my Google maps / navigation app on my Galaxy Nexus. For the first month I had it, when I navigated it would give me a 3/4 overhead view of my arrow / location, and the view would rotate so that the direction of travel is always up. Now, the navigation is a straight up bird's eye view, with north always being up. I had this issue a few times with my old Droid X as well, and I never figured out how / why it eventually fixed itself. Did I flip a toggle somewhere to change this? How do I change it back?

This is actually a pretty common misconception; I have to thank you for understanding the explanation rather than getting mad at it. (For examples of the latter, see: the entire XDA forums.) chocolateTHUNDER posted:Windows hasnt used RAM like that since XP. Mac user here. I've seen that example used often enough that I figured I'd just parrot it.

Undead Zombie posted:Yeah, you can't use Spotify without Facebook. You also have to keep the Facebook account active at all times because you will be logging in with it. Holy poo poo, I was jazzed about this last week from the description in this thread, but didn't look into it yet (real busy). This breaks the Paid Services Code; either something's free and coated in adverts, or paid and ad-free. gently caress paying $10 a month for something that does that, I don't care how nice the service itself is. That's the kind of heads-up it'd be appropriate to have added to the OP for the Spotify thread.
