hooah posted:Were you able to find a way to view your feeds in a list view (preferably filterable by feed)? The lack of that was why I only tried feedly for about 5 minutes yesterday. On the website: In preferences select "Condensed". You can do this by feed (top right gear) or globally (in select list on left side down at the bottom). In the app: Go to Advanced Settings in the menu (swipe in from the left or click the feedly icon on top left) and select Default View and change it to List. Anyway, let's try to keep this Android app-related!

Boywunda posted:Yes, click on the green icon in the top left corner, choose "Uncategorized" view and all the feeds with their count numbers appear. Click on the feed you want, then a new settings icon appears, to which you can choose "Mark All as Read", which is a feature I wish all Readers have. Ok, that's close. Can feeds without any unread items be hidden in the uncategorized list?

I can't find an option to hide any feeds, but you can remove them through the app. If no unread articles are in that feed, it shows up as "none" for the count of unread articles. Edit: Also int he App, under Advanced Settings you can change Default View to - Detect, List, Magazine or Cards. if that helps as well.

What's up with the Facebook app pushing its own updates through the app instead of through the market now?

Anyone else having weird issues with google calendar? My wife and I use our Calendar a ton and today I noticed some of my events are screwed up, One recurring event I have went two hours back and another went back an hour, somethings have not changed at all. This has to be a DST bug but we live in AZ so nothing should change. This is really messing us up since now we have no idea if our appointments or schedules are correct.

This might be what you're looking for.

I just thought it'd be humorous if they busted their app with the google play workaround that they did.

Google has pulled the official Google Reader app from the Play Store. http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/03/14/well-that-was-fast-google-has-pulled-the-google-reader-app-from-the-play-store/ AP claims it's only cached, but you can still install it from the store so who knows. e: I just installed it on both my Nexus 4 and Nexus S so I'd say grab it while you can if you want it.

I wasn't really into technology during the RSS/Podcasting boom, and I'm generally pretty curious why it's so essential to people's browsing habits. The few times I've tried to get into it I generally just got annoyed either at Reader's UI or the fact that the articles were truncated anyway so I still had to visit (usually Gawker's) mess of a site. Basically, what are you all subscribed to that makes Reader so good? Also an actual app-related question, earlier there was talk of Facebook Messenger being able to display SMS, is this a US only thing? e: WastedJoker posted:Contacts+ is basically amazing. I don't think I'd trust an app like that with all those permissions. Why would it need "READ SENSITIVE LOG DATA" and "CHANGE/INTERCEPT NETWORK SETTINGS AND TRAFFIC"?

The few times I've tried to get into it I generally just got annoyed either at Reader's UI or the fact that the articles were truncated anyway so I still had to visit (usually Gawker's) mess of a site. If you have a few specific interests, RSS is a great way to keep up with them. For instance, I have a few feeds dedicated to style (Put This On, Dappered, Well Spent), a few for art (but does it float, 50 Watts, Hi Fructose), a tech and gaming blog a piece so I kind of know what's going on in those worlds (The Verge, Polygon), a few pop culture things (Gawker, Mental Floss, io9, AV Club), some general interest articles (Readability Top Reads, Longform) and a few News/commentary related ones (Slate, Salon, Atlantic, New York Times). It allows me to stay current. That isn't to say that I always read everything because that would be ridiculous, but being able to scroll through a few times a day, getting headlines, skimming and reading allows me to be more informed. It's kind of like having a periodical filled entirely with things you kind of or very much give a poo poo about. This YouTube video gives a pretty decent rundown. To be honest, I was in your shoes until about a year or so ago when I started using RSS, which also happened to be the time I got into podcasts after spending a few years thinking it was kind of a silly medium. I would find it difficult to do without either at this point. And while we're on the topic, does it kinda bug anyone else that in the wake of all of this, some folks are saying Twitter is a suitable replacement for RSS with what I assume to be a straight face? Maybe I'll pull a 180 one of these days like I did with podcasts, but Twitter just seems kind of awful to me.

The few times I've tried to get into it I generally just got annoyed either at Reader's UI or the fact that the articles were truncated anyway so I still had to visit (usually Gawker's) mess of a site. I don't make massive use of it myself, but there seem to be two main uses (people had some advanced sharing and commenting thing going on in Reader too, but that got killed earlier I think). One way is to basically collect all your interests in one place, so instead of touring all the websites you like to keep up with, you can get them all 'delivered'. Like you say, often you just get an intro or summary, but even then it can be helpful to be able to scan through all the headlines and jump in if something seems interesting. The other way is similar, but instead of having a regular digest of articles to dip into, you can follow specific blogs or items where you want to see every entry or update. Subscribing to something like Gawker will probably get you hundreds of articles a day, which you're probably happy to ignore a lot of the time, but for other stuff you might want to at least look at every entry (so unread counters are useful) or get notified when an update occurs. So it can be episodic and organisational too. Plus people often save articles and file them away as well

Since people seem to be looking for google reader alternatives, I'd suggest NewsBlur. Unfortunately, they've been swamped since yesterday, and free account creation is temporarily suspended (and those of us who already had free accounts are limited to 12 feeds for now). Seems like it'll be another week or two to fully recover. I switched about 6 months ago, when it was obvious Google was going to abandon Reader. They have an android app, though its pretty underwhelming at the moment. The website is great though.

If one of them hurries up they could probably cut deals to develop a backend and sell the software or service with an identical API to Google Reader to all the previously-dependent software, rather than everyone scrambling to implement their own. Or codevelop, since they're all doing it.

So in the wake of Reader's demise, someone tell me all the worst things about the current version of Pocket Casts. I've moved to Feedly for my text RSS needs, but Reader was the backend to GoodNews too and I really really liked how great it handled podcasts. All the other podcast apps are Gingerbread as gently caress and I'm not interested in that at all. Go Holo or go home.

Am I missing something or is it not possible to have the Android Feedly app display oldest first ? Googling suggests it was an added feature some time ago but I can't for the life of me find it.

Auto-downloads have seemed spotty since the big update. A few patches since then have improved it but I've had a few failed downloads overnight. Settings aren't super-intuitive but once you know where they are it's fine. Now, keep in mind that I am not picky when it comes to podcatchers. As long as the app can fetch and play the file, I'm happy. I'm far from a "power user".
