GN keeps giving me cards with news stories about the Lakers (I hate the Lakers). I dunno, I keep getting scores from a bunch of teams I searched for once. I also hit the information button and "no" every time but they still keep coming back. (So in other words the same thing happens to me)

Is there an "agreed upon" app for keeping contact photos synced? I've never had much luck getting the right pics to show up so I just recently pretty much wiped out my years old Google contacts and am starting fresh. I downloaded and ran UberSync for Facebook and it works well enough - my contact photos are high res once they load but I don't really like that UberSync lists itself as part of the contact (like where you're viewing your contact and it shows you Facebook and Twitter and maybe your phones entry) rather than just making the pics look nice. Is there an app that does this less obtrusively? Is there a way to sync these photos to Google contacts without manually downloading and adding them? am I an idiot?

Haxsync can pull profile photos from facebook and use them to replace your Google contacts photos if you want. It will, however, show up as part of the contact at the bottom like UberSync does. Personally this doesn't bother me all that much, since it's down at the bottom, anyway, but it did at first and I do wish there were a way to disable it. dik-dik fucked around with this message at 04:17 on Apr 30, 2013 |

Would you say Haxsync is a better option than Ubersync? As far as I can tell Ubersync can't override Google contacts photos and I certainly don't want to have both apps clogging up my Connections doodad in the contacts whatsit e: or will simply importing the contacts from android to Google achieve the same goal?

Thanks to whoever mentioned Expense Manager, it's really great so far. The only thing that is bothering me is that, even in the paid version, I can't seem to add recurring income. Am I missing something or is that functionality really not included?

Speaking of Google Now, is there any way to restrict public transit choices to show only subway/trains? I live in NYC and never take the bus but it only ever shows bus schedules. I could have sworn I saw this option in the previous version.

Maybe it can? I'm not sure. Then I bought Haxsync (it's a buck) and figured out how to do that very quickly. I just double-checked from the google contacts site on my computer, and they're all really there. I suppose if I wanted I could just uninstall Haxsync right now and still retain all the photos, but, because I'm running stock 4.2.2, from which Google has removed the ability to sync Facebook contacts (wtf Google?), the Haxsync connection provides a useful link to my friends' facebook profiles (and, you can customize which app it uses, in case you use something other than the default facebook app). It also allows you to change the "fuzziness" of the contact matching, and even manually manage your contacts, in case you have friends who still think it's cool to have Facebook names wildly different from their actual names. Overall, I'm very happy with Haxsync (and I normally hate the idea of using a paid app when there's a free app available with similar functionality).

drat, I love Google Now. Yesterday, I went to a local distillery for a bottling party, but wasn't sure how to get there. I googled it, but, of course, I forgot by the time I actually left my house. Fast forward 15min and I'm within a mile or two, but have no idea where to go. But, all was good because I loving knew that if I opened Now it would have what I needed to know, right there. So I did. And it did. Tldr: Google Now helped me get drunk for free

Tunga posted:Just to cover this, this feature still exists and Facebook can implement it any time they like. In early versions of Android there was a Facebook-specific implementation of contact syncing. Google replaced this with a generalised solution and Facebook refuse to use it because Facebook writing good code is not actually a thing that ever happens. This is the company who had to hack the actual Dalvik VM itself to get their app to work because when you have three million functions it causes some kind of buffer overflow. Three million functions. In an Android app. Really. Well, it was still lovely going from my cheap, awful Virgin Mobile phone running 2.3.7 to my shiny new Nexus 4 running 4.2.2 and seeing that I can no longer sync Facebook contacts directly.

Oh, jeezo, there's two different apps with the same name.  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.expensemanager&hl=en and https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=at.markushi.expensemanager I got the latter and while the interface is really, really slick, I guess the other one has more useful functionality, at least for now. Seriously, why would you include "income management" as a premium feature and have users enter their paycheck every month? Then again, from their Google+ page, the devs seem somewhat active, I guess I'll take my bitching and moaning there.

Any recommendations for an app that will automatically log me on to my work wifi? It makes me log in via a web frontend. I'd like to skip that step and I saw there were a few apps that look like they'd do it, but I was hoping someone had some first-hand experience with one.

What in the gently caress is going on in the diagram? It looks like Facebook rolled up a dude in a rug and ejected him from the Android circle. If I ever have to work on anything that has three million methods I'm going to eat a gun. Like, literally take apart the gun and eat the pieces. Then shoot myself.

For anyone else who uses Poweramp, I was looking through skins to see if they really were all terrible except for the ICS skin/widget combo and I ran into this Metro skin: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ikorolkov.poweramp.skins.simplex.albo&hl=en I think it looks pretty decent, although it might just be because all the other stuff I saw was so much worse. My only complaint after using it for a few days is that the previous track/play/next track buttons seem squished a little, like they're not displaying properly. It's just noticeable enough to bug me, but not so much that I'd uninstall the skin. One of the recent reviews seems to agree with me as well.

I just can't wrap my head around an app having 3M methods. Even with all that FB does, you can only break problems down so far before you're hitting diminishing returns, and that actually happens faster than people imagine.

I was alluding to the fact that Facebook actually has written a virtual machine called HipHop & compiler that generates HipHop bytecode from PHP to run its site. This is actually the second generation of such a thing; previously HipHop translated PHP to C++ and then compiled it to native code.

Is there an app that allows me to do all my messaging in one place (Facebook, SMS, and MMS), but have separate ringtones for each type of message? I'm cool with SMS and MMS have the same ringtone if need be as long as I can specifically silence facebook messages while leaving SMS notification sounds in tact. Oh, I'm running stock (rooted) JB on a Nexus 4.
