As much as I hate doubleTwist when it comes to the desktop app, they got really decent with the Android app. So I've been using them for music and podcast. It's really really basic stuff though.

I'm having a problem with instagram and maybe the stock camera app as well. The most immediate issue is that whenever I add a photo to instagram from the gallery or a new photo, the image flickers between visible and invisible (mostly the latter) on the effects screen (after I crop it). It shows up for a second or so at a time, then seems to disappear until I do something else with the interface at which point it shows back up briefly then disappears all over again. I've tried clearing cache and all data for instagram, force stopping the app, and even uninstalling it / reinstalling it. Phone is a Sprint GS3 running the latest nightly of CM10. Could this be caused by the ROM? The other issue I've seen ( though I can work around it if instagram decides to show the image to me for any length of time) is that images passed to other apps haver incorrect rotation applied, i.e. I'll shoot a photo in portrait, send it to instagram, and its on its side. What causes this?

You can try fiddling with the GPU-related options in Developer Options, but this isn't isolated to Instagram. It shows up mostly in games, and either they get a situation-specific hotfix or yeah you have to resort to developer options. Something about the CM10 GPU driver for the US carrier "Galaxy S III" variants is broken, and either there isn't a good one that exists or the maintainers don't give a poo poo. You could switch ROMs, but TouchWiz ROMs are, well, TouchWiz, and not-TouchWiz ROMs are probably using the CM kernel, or at least the same graphics driver. Or CM9 - at least you're using one of the three (of six) variants that even got a CM9 - but it's been abandoned for close to three months because of new hotness and who cares about graphics. Yeah, the d2 is stuck in a bad place right now. dont be mean to me fucked around with this message at 08:13 on Dec 1, 2012 |

Thanks, disabling hardware overlays in the developer options fixed it, though I found a report or two of that causing the phone to get pretty hot due to some setcpu bug that may or may not have been fixed by now. I guess I'll keep an eye on it. I could just go back to the backup I have of the stock ROM and stay rooted, but I really like the simplicity of CM10.

I've been using Chomp, but all my friends have iPhones and whenever a group text is sent out I have no clue that the text I just received wasn't just a text to me unless there's a "Hey you guys" in there or something. Is there an app out there that'd let me see the other recipients and their replies as well, sort of like a textual group video chat? I'm actually not even sure if that's how it shows up on their phones, but it's kind of weird to feel like the "C" in the "A-B" conversation and have no idea what the other guys are replying to.

I don't want to completely replace the stock messaging app necessarily in my GS3, but the old standby of SMS Pop Up doesn't seem to work as well as it did with my Evo (multiple pop ups for 1 message, etc).

I've tried a couple different messaging apps that are supposed to do group messaging, but they all seem to do so in the most clunky way possible. I know this only works if you can get people to go along with it, but what I've found to be the best solution is using Facebook Messenger.

I'm using Handcent and it works decently, but it is somewhat clunky. If you use it, make it your default, turn on group message threading, and delay notifications until after retrieval; only very rarely will you get a message that doesn't show up properly in the thread. FWIW I'm on an HTC One X Plus.

Sir Unimaginative posted:You can try fiddling with the GPU-related options in Developer Options, but this isn't isolated to Instagram. Nearly of the corruption issues were fixed in time for stable, in fact, the Instagram one is the only one that I'm aware of that still exists. Corruption in games is likely EGL issues, again old blobs. In any event, 4.2 is a complete rebase for d2. It's now using a JB-based kernel tree and blobs which should eliminate those issues. And of course, introduce new ones, which is why it's happening after the CM 10.0 stable release. Don't run CM9 on d2 though. It was never a complete port. The reason it was abandoned in favor of CM10 is because much of the framework code needed for new Qualcomm devices would have had to be backported late in the CM9 development cycle, but had already been folded into AOSP for Jellybean. sirbeefalot posted:The other issue I've seen ( though I can work around it if instagram decides to show the image to me for any length of time) is that images passed to other apps haver incorrect rotation applied, i.e. I'll shoot a photo in portrait, send it to instagram, and its on its side.

ExcessBLarg! posted:All photos taken with the SGS3's camera are natively in landscape orientation. What it should do is apply an EXIF Orientation tag based on the device's orientation to ensure programs rotate the image correctly. However, as far as I can tell none of the photos taken actually have this tag, but somehow the Gallery knows the original orientation. I've had Camera Orientation applied from SGS3 shots. At least, I think I have; the thumbnails in Windows are on the side but the full-sized in irfanview are correctly oriented; I assume that's EXIF in action.

Mobile telephone numbers in Australia currently all exist on the 04 area code. Given that most people in Oz will port their current number for the rest of their lives and there are 5 times as many numbers in 04 than there are people in Oz, it probably won't fill up soon, but if it doesn't they'll most likely activate one of the unused area codes like 06 or 09 as a second mobile phone code.

rolleyes posted:Is the UK unique in having a different prefix for mobile numbers then? All mobile numbers here begin with 07. Actually, I am in the UK, but all my numbers are stored as '+44 781', etc, so it's not a 'first glance' job to distinguish This particular contact had the following numbers: Off: +44 870... (one of those special rate landlines) Mob: +44 780... (standard UK mobile) Fax: +44 709... (some kind of fax/mobile service?) So, you can see it is a bit of a hassle if it just lists all three of them without their header. For that matter, why are landline and fax numbers showing up in an SMS app anyway?

No this doesn't happen in the US or Canada, however both ends of the call are charged, not just the person placing the call (which is I believe how it works in a number of places outside of NA). Mostly you just have to worry about long distance charges, calling someone in another area code or out of state -- though these days that's generally less of a worry because most (all?) cell companies treat long distance as any other kind of call, as do a lot of landline packages.

I'll admit that I am something of an edge case: I have to use the +44,+1, etc country code prefixes, so it is harder to quickly read a number. But still, would be nice if more apps were a bit more intelligent about this. But then, hell, my latest version of Outlook still insists on listing fax numbers as separate entries in the 'address' window for my email application. Why?

I'm sure Tasker would probably do all this better, but Llama's free. Maybe I should just get Tasker. Can Tasker do something like "When leaving home wifi - enable lockscreen"? One problem I'm having with Llama is that it uses the cell towers, and I live too close to work for it to always be effective. Like right now, I'm at both home and work. But that's not the same issue really.

That's pretty much exactly the profile I have set up - when connected to my home WiFi, it's supposed to disable the keyguard. And it does, about 90% of the time. But then sometimes it will re-enable...and I haven't narrowed down exactly why yet. Tasker is an awesome app (there's a full thread on it somewhere) that can do a ton of cool things, but it is a pain in the rear end to use. Not very user friendly. Well worth the purchase price for me though, if for nothing else than the "When at work automatically turn on vibrate" profile.

http://cliffmass.blogspot.com/2012/12/can-smartphone-observations.html Apparently most modern android phones come with an atmospheric pressure sensor - certain organizations are trying to use that to understand and predict local weather better with realtime crowdsourced data from potentially millions of devices. I think it sounds super cool, and could help us not only have more accurate short-term forcasts, but could expand our understanding of small-scale weather patterns. There's an app in this link that grabs the data from your phone(hourly, I believe), and puts it on a map that you can view. Pretty neat stuff. E: 10 minutes by default, but configurable to whatever. I set it to an hour to go easy on my battery. Taffer fucked around with this message at 19:15 on Dec 2, 2012 |
