I just posted on the woofi blog about some upcoming features. Most of the things have been mentioned in this thread, but this one hasn't:quote:Right now, I'm also doing some experimentation into using Bluetooth to determine if you're at a saved location. If it turns out that it uses less battery to turn BT radio on every so many seconds to check and see if you're near a BT device at your saved location, rather than turning on your WiFi radio to check, we'll add the ability to do this.

I still use NewsRob primarily. I'm starting to try some new ones though because it could use some UI updates but it's still going to be a while according to the dev.

I subscribe to some 100+ feeds and only read maybe 10% of the stories. Seems like I'm fine keeping gReader, then.

Does anyone ever use Swiftkey X? I love the keyboard, but drat sometimes the keyboard is so laggy in some applications. I did a factory data reset recently and it still lags. Anything I should do? Anyone have this problem? Should I switch to a different keyboard? I'm running CM 7 on an Inspire 4G

Newsrob is what I'm still using, mostly because I've already paid for the pro version. Only thing that bugs me is that the unread counter widget is misaligned on ICS. Not a huge deal, though.

I'm running CM 7 on an Inspire 4G I use it, and recently, the drat thing won't show what I'm typing. Just appears blank, I have to exit out of whatever I'm doing to fix it. Other than that, no lag thankfully.

I was browsing wowinsider, and I switched from the mobile version to the regular site because a list of articles in a category wasn't showing up. Now it won't let me go back to the mobile version even when I type it straight into the address bar- it redirects me to the normal site. Is there any way to go back to the mobile version short of clearing all my cookies?

If you clicked on a link that said "use desktop version" or something of the sort it would have set a cookie (which will need to be removed or changed. Assuming it's likely a cookie, perhaps you might have an option in an account page or the like. If you used an option in your browser then just undo that.

Craptacular! posted:You didn't say what phone or browser you are using, but the provided/default webkit browser in ICS has a menu item checkbox that says Request Desktop Version. Sorry, I wan't very detailed. I'm using the stock browser on CM7.2, and I clicked the "use desktop site" link because I assumed that there would be a "use mobile site" link like every other site in existence, or that I would be able to type the mobile site into the browser or something. I only see an option to clear all cookies; is there a way to only delete certain ones? Are they stored like on Windows where I can browse to a folder full of them and delete just the one I want? Edit: I answered my own question. There's no support for fine- grained control of cookies on Android, so you have to go into a terminal (rooted of course) and use SQL commands to delete the cookie you want. It worked though!

Related to this, I use ICS Browser+, and I always have to request the desktop version of a particular site because it's evidently not being stored somewhere. Is this a problem with ICS Browser+ or the particular website (gocomics.com)?

yamdankee posted:Only if you're regularly in the habit of downloading apps from very shady sources Don't trust any app provider to ensure that an app is safe. Especially with Android. Better advice is look closely at the permissions an app is asking for, and only install stuff that you absolutely need. At the very least you should think long and hard about any app that can interact with the dialer or text messages as the most common flavor of malware out there tries to make connections with those to pay services.

I could have worded that better. I didn't mean to suggest there are no shady sources inside of Google Play, there definitely are. But yes, your advice is better. Closely looking at app permissions is a good idea.

Anti virus programs on Android only protect you against old viruses. They are literally useless unless you download pirate apps off the Internet as Google remove them from the store (and remotely from your device) much quicker than the anti virus companies add them to their programs.

However, given that OEMs are embarassingly bad about pushing security updates, the 2-3 root exploits that come out every year have a surprising amount of longevity, much to the benefit of Motorola owners. Anyways, the point being that AV programs are (presumably, I have no actual data on this) effective here since signature updates are much easier to push out. Of course, the Market shouldn't be serving root-exploiting malware these days, but there was a time that they weren't on top of that.

Does anyone happen to have an apk for the previous version of the Audible app? Maybe in their Titanium Backup history or something? The current version is a total clusterfuck and they have been unresponsive to my requests via twitter and email to get an old version to roll back to. The version I need is 1.3.6 (current is 1.3.8). Feel free to PM or post if you can help out, thanks! edit: I found it; if anyone else needs to roll back pm me for a link Syrinxx fucked around with this message at 06:16 on Mar 27, 2012 |

For some reason my galaxy s2 isn't remembering my preference for opening links in dolphin instead of the default browser. It asks me what to open with every time I follow a link in awful or any other app. In the app settings page it shows dolphin as my default app for some actions.I've tried clearing this and selecting it again, but no dice.

Something weird happened to me, I kinda lost the play store  I had the app on one of my screens, but I deleted it, and now I can't seem to find it back. Wtf? Also, is there an app or something that turns up the volume? For some bizarre reason, my media sounds etc. are all super quiet lately, even on max volume.

Lately (since switching to the GN maybe?), I occasionally have trouble using the swipe-to-delete in SwiftKey. Instead of deleting the previous word, it'll just type some letter on the left-hand side of the keyboard. This persists until I send whatever I'm typing.

All the things I've seen about changing the pattern lock screen are like this page which involve decompiling APK files and editing XML. I think to make any changes at all you will need to be rooted. I'm sure there are custom roms out there that have modified it some already.
