FISHMANPET posted:About the only thing I use twitter for is to find articles to read (most of my friends don't use it so all I follow is bloggers) so I'm trying to improve my "workflow" for reading. Right now I go through and "favorite" tweets with articles I want to read later, then as I read them (from the web interface or my twitter client) I unfavorite them. This isn't how twitter intended the favorite feature to be used, because people get notifications when I favorite an article and I don't really like my reading list being public like that. Try Plume and see if that works.

Actually Plume is what I was using before I decided on the read-it-later thing, and I love it, except I don't think it integrates with any of the read-it-later services. In fact, I think tweetcaster may be the only one that does, which makes me cry a bit on the inside.

I just saved a Verge article through Plume to Pocket. Make sure you tap the tweet and then hit more and share. Unless I'm not getting what you want to do.

FISHMANPET posted:I'm sending them to Readability, but I think I'm not understanding how to do it correctly, because once I've read something I delete it from my reading list, but Readability makes it harder to delete something than to archive or favorite it, so not sure how I'm supposed to use this. Why do you require deleting the articles? The only time I delete an article is if it wasn't pulled into my read-it-later app and is totally useless. Otherwise I archive everything. Like Skeezy said your best bet is to just share the article or FriendCaster has built-in saving to a read-it-later service.

Just go with Plume because at least you get a good Twitter app from it. TweetCaster straight up looks like baby's first twitter app.

So I was using Readability, and it seems to be a pretty bad app. No indication from Plume that I'm trying to load anything into it, and it would frequently fail to actually save the article. Pocket seems to do a lot better on that front (and adds itself to the top of my Share list, which is nice, but dumb and hacky). As far as archiving and not deleting, why would I want to keep articles I don't want to read anymore? I was imaging Archive as a place for things I've read but want to hold on to. E: I'm guessing I'm supposed to archive what I've read and favorite what I want to find later, that workflow makes a lot more sense, and Pocket does a better job explaining it (the "I've read this" checkbox puts it into the archive, vs Readability which just prevents you with an Archive button but no indication as to why I would want to use it).

I just got a Razr HD Maxx, and I can't get Hulu to work with it. Has anyone else had this problem? The first ad loads fine, but then nothing else will load. This goes for other streaming video apps except for WatchESPN, which works fine.

Probably stupid question. I have used GO SMS for a while now. A few posts back I saw somebody recommend Chomp SMS and decided to check it out. I downloaded it and then uninstalled GO. I've only received a couple of text messages over the past hour but the couple I did get had the Chomp notification and a second, " You have a new message" notification. I click it and it takes me nowhere. I double checked the original "Text Messaging" app to make sure it didn't turn on and the notification settings were still disabled in it. What am I missing.

CancerStick posted:Probably stupid question. I had horrible trouble getting other SMS apps to work after having GoSMS installed. After uninstalling notifications wouldn't happen in other apps, with it installed I couldn't get them to work without also having notifications on in GoSMS, no matter what combination of notification options I set in the other app or GoSMS. Problem only went away after flashing a new ROM and not installing GoSMS again. I don't know how but somehow it fucks with SMS notifications on some weird deep level.

So, anyone else try the new 4.2 keyboard? I'm using it right now and it's pretty cool. I'm not convinced I'll stick with it, but it makes me even more excited for Swift Key Flow. One thing I miss from Swype is being able to swipe from m to space for a question mark (and similar gestures)

I just picked up a Galaxy S III after having the same phone for 5 years, so I am a total smart phone noob. I've got a couple of questions... The OP recommends the App 'Tasker' for things like 'I want my phone to X when Y.' Would this include something like 'I want my phone to mute when I have a calendar event and then unmute when the event is over?' I want to be sure before I fork over the $6. Can anyone recommend a widget that would track my data and texting usage over a specific period and display it on my home screen? And maybe even express it as a percentage? I was thinking Traffic Counter Pro. Any help would be appreciated.

Tunga posted:Yeah this, and good riddance to it as well. MMS really was the shittiest terrible system for sending pictures. A couple of people I know still insist on using it and sending me stupid tiny little pixelated images that for some reasong get displayed as five second long animations (what the Christ). I use MMS all the time, and the pictures are perfectly fine and I can look at them for more than five seconds.

I've been trying to download a free RSA client today to my Nexus (RSA SecurID Software Token), and it keeps coming back with an error every time I try to install it. The error I'm getting is "error processing purchase DF-BPA-10". I can only find one post through Google about that error, but it didn't give any solution. I tried clearing the cache and data for the Google Services Framework as well, that didn't help. I'm running Android 4.1.2 if that matters. Has anyone received this error before, and if so, how did you get around it?

ExcessBLarg! posted:Yeah but sometimes I want arrow keys and not ctrl/esc/whatever. Swype does a good job of that. I do really like the Edit page on Swype. I've moved back to Swype from the 4.2 keyboard, but I'll probably switch back later today and play around with it more. I agree with what someone said earlier that only having three word choices isn't enough. I may have said this already ITT, but one thing I really like about Swype is being able to swipe from M to the space bar to get a "?" and similar gestures. SwiftKey's smart punctuation key (or whatever they've called it) is a close second. I really don't like that the 4.2 keyboard doesn't have long press symbol keys, so you have to switch pages to get to most of them. I do think it's a huge step up for the people that never switch from the stock keyboard, but I'll stick with my Swype in portrait, SwiftKey in landscape combo, until Flow is released. Also, although I use Keyboard Manager to have different keyboards depending on my phone's orientation, I really feel that should be a feature that's built in.

How does DeskSMS work? I'm thinking of abandoning Google Voice because of its lack of MMS but I don't want to give up the ability to send texts from my desktop. Its Play page isn't very descriptive - do the app redirect all SMS and MMS to its service, which then forwards it along to me? That's the only way I can think of it working and I hesitate to give them carte blanche access to my messages.

Question for any fellow UNIX geeks. I use connectbot and Hacker's Keyboard extensively in my daily work, but I can't figure out how to get the keyboard to send the proper backspace signal. Since I'm on AIX, I need to send the Ctrl+H code, but I can't get connectbot to do that, regardless of keyboard. Anyone have a suggestion?

You can definitely hit the 'share this place with others' option from within the Maps app to pop up a Share menu, but it won't create a Calendar event - you'll need to share it to a new SMS or something, then cut and paste over to Calendar.

Does anyone know if you can get Google Now to pull from a second Gmail account? I've got my main/work/serious business account and my secondary/spam/random stuff account, and the second is where I typically put things like flight and hotel confirmations since they like to sign you up to weekly emails. Both accounts are on my phone, but I'd prefer to keep Google Now synced to the first account while still able to pull stuff from the second.

I'd be surprised if you can get it granular enough to pull some things and not all of it, though. A practical solution might be to manually forward your confirmation emails to your primary account (or use a forwarding filter triggered off the word "Confirmation" or similar).
