I've never understood why Twitter can't just force the sponsored tweets into the API. It's hard to monetize users when you drive them away by being loving lovely.

Does Press have a web reader? One of the reasons I use Feedly is because of the Chrome extension (and now cloud reader).

I do not think I could live without PocketCasts (podcast app). I used to use DoggCatcher, but man that interface got old...

Vine was updated, and now has the ability to search by hashtag and people. Also fixed the video/audio sync issues. Anyone who bitched about those things and deleted it should give it another try to see if they like it. It's a fun little time waster.

My biggest issue with the app is that I can't even watch vines without logging in and it won't log me in via Twitter. I get a generic error has occurred message and it never works.

I see vine being pretty irrelevant at this point. They messed up by releasing a partial app with massively frustrating and basic functions straight up not included. Instagram does video... and longer ones at that. I've already got everyone established with that app, why would I use Vine. For real question.

If you don't use Instagram already or use Twitter more, it might make sense to keep using Vine. E: Actually, can't you link Instagram videos on tweets easily? sourdough fucked around with this message at 14:33 on Jun 22, 2013 |

rotaryfun posted:I don't see how Vine is more integrated with twitter. I can post my instagram stuff to twitter/fb with the press of a button from within the app just as easy. Vine is more integrated with twitter, because vine uses the Twitter Card system and all vines are visible to anyone using an official twitter app, the twitter website or tweetdeck (or any other app that uses the twitter card api). Tweetdeck removed the ability for their images to be displayed in the twitter card system, so it all just appears as a link unless you're using a third party app. edit: I'm not trying to say one is better than the other, just pointing out the differences in twitter integration.

Anyone else using the Google keyboard available on the Play Store? After the latest update, haptic feedback is practically unnoticeable. And I can't figure out how to make it the way it was before. I'm on a Galaxy S4.

This. A lot of people currently get around that with IFTTT recipes, but I don't know if that'll be possible with videos. Also, a number of people (myself included) use Instagram and Vine very differently. Vine is connected to my Twitter account which is anonymous and full of dumb poo poo, butt jokes etc. Instagram is connected to my FB which is where I share stuff with friends and family.

I see Vine more as entertainment than social networking, whereas Instagram is the reverse. Most of the people I follow on Vine are just celebrities who usually post funny videos. My friends also sometimes post Vines but honestly they're usually not that good. By contrast, most of the people I follow on Instagram are real life friends of mine who almost uniformly post boring photos of their pets. If I wanted to see a hundred photos of your dog, I could just go through your Facebook albums. If James Urbaniak ever moves to Instagram, I'll follow him there, but until that happens I'm keeping Vine. In other news: I got the Current Caller ID app after someone posted it in here. It's pretty good, but I wish there were a way for it to only show up during calls with people who aren't on my contacts list. As it stands, whenever I receive calls, it puts itself on top of the normal incoming call screen, which is annoying and redundant. Is there a caller ID app that's only activated by unknown numbers? dik-dik fucked around with this message at 17:27 on Jun 22, 2013 |

I just picked up a Nook HD+ and now have multiple devices I use twitter on. Is there an app that will sync my last read position in my twitter feed? I currently use Falcon Pro. Any other must have tablet versions of typically useful Android apps?

You actually can't blame twitter for this one. Instagram didn't want their pictures to be shown directly on twitter. They wanted the click throughs so that they would get more users on their own site. Plus Instagram is owned by facebook. But mostly, I think they didn't want to give away their images for free.

In the last few days, I've gotten a couple of notifications from Facebook saying that one has friend had updated his or her status. A different person each time, and the statuses were at least a day or two old. Why would I getting the notifications?

Has there ever been a point in Android history where the Facebook app didn't suck? Use the mobile site, it's fairly robust.

I turned off facebook notifications a while back. Recently, the changes to gmail made facebook notifications somewhat hidden. Life is better on this side.

Can anyone recommend a decent alarm app? Something that can gradually fade in ambient sounds over a period before the alarm is set to go off would be great. I remember hearing about an app that would use your movements while sleeping to determine when the best time to wake you would be, which sounds awesome, but I'm not sure if it would work with a partner in bed. Thanks in advance!

I use this one, and while it won't fade in prior to waking up, it does allow fade in over a relatively short period at the set time. It's fairly robust and has a lot of options (number of snoozes allowed, stuff like that). https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alarmclock.xtreme.free&feature=search_result e: I really like the look of Gentle Alarm, actually.

Thanks for the suggestions! Trying out Gentle Alarm tonight, looks like it's exactly what I want. Warmly looks a bit nicer but it seems it has less options - I'll give it a try if I'm not happy with Gentle Alarm.

I finally paid for it after Amazon demanded I log in to their store again to turn off my alarm. I realized that Gentle Alarm was the only reason I still kept Amazon around and I figured it was time to pay the guy. I do wish he'd update the interface but I see it once a day when I'm groggy so I can live with it. The pre-alarm gimmick sounds so stupid and works so well and Gentle Alarm is the only app that does it so even if it looked like Cupcake I'd use it.

This might be better suited to the games thread but since it's more tech support-oriented, maybe I can get an answer here. A a couple of games (Real Racing and Scramble with Friends) will pause on their own from time to time. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas why it's happening?
