Henry Krinkle posted:This is an old post but I'm only just going through the thread and haven't seen an answer to this: Thanks for trying anyway. Since posting that request, I discovered that Chameleon Launcher does exactly what I was asking for... but unfortunately, it's for tablets only. There's also a feature request for Apex Launcher which has a lot of votes, which describes pretty much exactly what I was asking for, complete with Tasker support.

Is there any app or set of apps that would allow me to, at a specified time, turn on my Bluetooth, connect to a device, max out the volume, and then play a music file?

If there were some way to activate Now/Voice Actions from a bluetooth headset, it would be amazing. I have a bluetooth setup on my motorcycle helmet and it would be awfully nice to be able to text while I'm stopped at a light.

So if I get a notification about a post (close friends), go directly to the post from the notification, I can't Like it. Have to go back out to the News Feed and like it from there. Rolled the fix in today's first daily, looks good to me. Confirm?

Does anyone know of a good TV guide app on Android? The actual TV Guide app seems full of a lot of ads (and I'm not sure if it works on Jelly Bean anyway) and crap and the TV Listings app is too basic. I used to use Whats on TV? on iOS but I have yet to find anything like that on Android. If it helps, I'm in the US.

My kids (too young for phones) are getting 4g ipod touchs for xmas it goes against everything holy in my geeky sensibilities, but its what their friends all have for imessage. I don't guess there's a way we the Android-user wolfshirt parents can talk to them on imessage but what's gonna be the best thing wife and I can have on Android to do voice or video chat or IM with them? google talk or skype do video on both platforms? edit: and not really the best place to ask but if one of you all knows of any ios for newbs type faq that would be great. I'm interested in how using prepaid cards works and hopefully not using itunes on any pc. Connecting to smb or sftp. But in general I don't know the os that well, going to try and start setting some stuff up on these before they get them. Vin BioEthanol fucked around with this message at 16:40 on Nov 20, 2012 |

I'm just going to assume that I was the first person to report this and feel all special. Still need to get around to getting you logs on a failed photo upload. I had it happen again Saturday night, but I was juggling too many other things at the time. A glance at logcat showed some messages about losing a secure connection, I think. That's another error I frequently see in the app itself when I'm out and about.

I've kind of been assuming that there's not much point in paying attention to Facebook app bugs if the app is being rebuilt from the ground up as a native one to be released soonish. If I've got the wrong idea about that then please let me know and I'll go back to reporting them when I find them.

That just brings up the anemic voice dialer app. There's nothing to remap or customize how Android handles that button? I mean, if you're rooted you can go right in and remap some capacitive/volume buttons to do different things. At the very least I don't see why they wouldn't completely replace Voice Dialer on an OS level with Google Now since it is strictly better; it can do Voice Dialing, Voice Texting, and a bunch of other things sight-unseen.

So I installed Llama based on someone's suggestion in this thread, and now I've got it set up to open certain apps (AirDroid, BubbleUPNP) when I'm at home. What are some other neato things I can do that might not be immediately obvious? Does toggling off the WiFi when not using it actually save a lot of battery?

I have Llama disabled right now because I work within the same area as my house so it could not tell a difference  Is there a way to have it change ringtone and other settings when I connect to my home wifi? I couldn't find it.

I've never understood this huge push to make an alternative to Plume since it's awesome and works well and has legacy API support, but Falcon's tablet interface does look better with it's integrated browser.

Switching off WiFi when not using it at home isn't terribly useful unless you have to leave the phone off its charger for a prolonged period - or you make all of the calls. It'll either resort to the cell network (which takes more power and probably has a cap) or just not use internet access (which kinda defeats the purpose of today's smartphone). While somewhere where you don't have WiFi credentials, it can be useful just to keep it from scanning all the time. But it's still not a battery-killer. ... Unless you're doing data transfers and calls all the time. It depends on how old your phone is and whether it was designed to actually last all day when you use it for most of the day, but batteries and battery usage on today's phones generally suck a lot less than they did even this time last year. Zero VGS posted:There's nothing to remap or customize how Android handles that button? I mean, if you're rooted you can go right in and remap some capacitive/volume buttons to do different things. As for why: Voice Dialer is independent of Google. Google Now, for obvious reasons, is not. Some people (beyond Nook and Kindle users (poor bastards)) use Android devices without a Google account. Seems like the most pointless thing in the entire universe, but it happens.

You have to set up a Profile (third tab) with the ringtone/volume you want, then create a new event with WiFi connected as the trigger (it'll let you choose a specific network) and Profile as the action.

Yeah, I have an S3 and I've yet to see it dip below 30% before I get home so I think it probably won't be worth the effort. MikeJF posted:Is there a reason Llama won't work with my GSIII?

If there any app that will build a map of my cell service quality as I drive around town? I want to see how accurate T-Mobile's coverage map is, because it promised good service at my house and I'm alternating between no service and 2 bars, so I'd like to get measurements from around town more scientifically than trying to check my email every time I hit a stop light.

There was some discussion a few pages back about Photo Spheres and how "bad" the seaming was on them. If you're having trouble producing good looking Photo Spheres, I recommend setting your phone on a makeshift tripod. Here's mine: https://plus.google.com/111364041641324386454/posts/1nh48zfgjKC Yes, the dog's legs are missing. Dogs don't hold still for poo poo. Bear in mind also that these were taken with an HTC Rezound - technically not a supported phone.

Anyone know of an update on SwiftKey Flow? I signed up for the beta when the announcement came out but I haven't seen or heard anything since then.
