In Google's stock "Photos" app, is there a way to unload or disable certain folders? I don't want it loading a bunch of folders just because they have images in them.

Question regarding Google Play Music. I wanted to listen to the new Black Keys album today. I searched for it on Google Play and it wasn't on there. I checked Spotify and it wasn't on there. It is for sale on iTunes. I don't recall having an album, a newer one, not be on Google Play the day of release. Is this fairly common? Do they probably have an agreement with iTunes for a limited time? How am I able to find out when it will be on there? Just randomly check?

I couldn't find OneRepublic's rerelease of Native or Lindsey Stirling's new albums on Google Play Music for a while and, just last week, they finally showed up.

It often takes a few weeks for new albums to show up on All Access. And sometimes the deluxe versions never show up at all even though they are available to buy. It varies a bit.

Looks like Swype updated today and among the fixes is the insane amount of location calls. There's a good chance that this will fix the terrible lag that has plagued the app for so long.

Delpino posted:It reminds me of the message I used to see in iOS if I clicked a link in the app and it tried to take me to a page I didn't have permissions to see. Have you tried logging into Facebook on Chrome and then going to the link directly from there? I logged into FB in Chrome and then tried opening links from the FB app and it works fine now. Dumb, but whatever, I guess.

On the iPhone, the visual voicemail and dialer were under a single app. Is there any way to do this on my moto x? It's pretty nice to have everything under one roof.

Donald Kimball posted:On the iPhone, the visual voicemail and dialer were under a single app. Is there any way to do this on my moto x? It's pretty nice to have everything under one roof. Right now if you use Google Voice for voicemail the transcription shows in the Google Voice app. If you check the option in Google Voice settings to show voicemail in the dailer it will show the entries there but clicking on the notification when you get a voicemail will no longer lead to the Google Voice app but instead into a playback pane in the dialer where you can't see the transcription but you do have a shortcut to call the party back. I find it better to use just have the Google Voice app handle the voicemail so that I can have the transcription and when I need to call the party back I use the Missed Call notification to take me straight to the call. Of course Google Voice should be integrated into Hangouts by I/O so this workflow might change. That said, Voice is way better than carrier voicemail so if you're still using your carrier voicemail you may want to switch.

The latest update for Facebook for Android included a new interface design. It is dogshit. I'm not real tech savvy, but is there a way to go undo this update (or the interface change)? Or am I just going to have to deal with it?

It's always the same with FB interface updates. You bitch, you moan and 2 weeks later you get used to it and will have forgotten what the other one even looked like. It's been the same with this for me.

Ugh.... Google Now and Google Music are starting to piss me off. I use the handsfree 'OK Google Now' function on my Moto Droid a lot, especially when I am driving, to select songs. Lately, I have had the following happen a lot: 1: I say "OK Google Now" and my phone wakes up and waits for a command 2: I say "Play "Used to love her' and Google Now correctly matches it to play Guns n' Roses 'Used to Love Her' 3: Google Now launches Play Music with Guns n' Roses Used to Love Her in the search bar. 4: Play music starts to play 'Used to Lover Her' as covered by Ella Es Tan Cargosa even though the Guns N' Roses version is right loving there! I keep seeing this, that Google now matched the right song and tells Play music to play the right song, but Play Music plays a cover (or in some cases just the wrong song all together) even when the correct song is on Play Music.

Doctor rear end in a top hat posted:Really hoped it would be done by now since today's the last day my Obi100 will work. FWIW, I just completed switching my Obi over to one of their approved service providers (Phone Power) which costs $40/year and it was painless. Since I transferred my landline number to Google Voice when I first set it up, I left that as is and forward calls via the Google Voice settings to my new Phone Power number, and Phone Power automatically sets the right number for outgoing Caller ID. Not as good as the $0/month + $1.50 I was paying for E911 before, but it's still hard to beat 3 bucks a month. Plus, now with Phone Power incoming faxes are automatically emailed to me, so that'll be useful 2 times in my life.

This might be a generic android question now than an app question there any way on this earth to make email stop notifying me that it can't sign in to my work email? It changes every few months and the password needs reset by management because our tech people are nonexistent to incompetent. Right now I'm waiting on mine to be reset, but I've had to put my phone on silent because it keeps telling me every few seconds that it can't sign in. I don't want to delete the account because it's a pain to get it working again, and telling it to stop syncing or updating doesn't help. Argh. If a new app is a solution, there's the possibility of patient information being in emails so it needs to be compliant with security policies, no third person servers.

You might be able to long press the notification next time it pops up in your notification bar, and select app info. It should give you a check box to stop notifications. That might work, depending on if the notification is coming from the app itself or Android system. If that works, just don't forget to turn notifications back on for the app under settings > apps once they give you your new password.

So, I have three music players on my Nexus 5: Google Music, which I never use Doubletwist, which I use solely to airsync my playlists from my home iTunes library to the phone PowerAmp Pro, which is what I actually use to play music Is there a way to tell the first two to gently caress off when I get into my car and they start bluetooth autoplaying? I'd like GMusic to go away entirely, but deleting it is not, apparently, an option. If I could at least get them to completely piss off unless I specifically invoke them, that would be nice. Is there a way to accomplish this that anyone knows of?

I'll be traveling this weekend and I'm trying to determine the most painless way of syncing movies/TV shows to my Nexus 7 (2013). I use the Plex Media Server app to stream to my Xbox and I've used the Android app as well. Anyone here have a Plex Pass subscription and would you recommend it? I'm thinking I'll just get the $3.99 sub for one month so I can sync videos to the tablet. I'm open to any opinions or other recommendations on this. the reason I'm considering this is because in the past I've attempted to sync media files and have the proper playback apps, but there is ALWAYS some loving file that won't play due to encoding or filetype. I haven't had any trouble with Plex yet.

Doesn't Plex still offer a free month? Edit: Did I invent this? I swear I got a free month of Premium when I first installed Plex but now can't find any mention of it ever existing. Weird. Anyway, Plex should be good for what you're trying to do. Tunga fucked around with this message at 00:32 on May 16, 2014 |

I don't think it has a free month of plexpass, but you can always just get a free month, see if you like it, then upgrade and they will just have you pay the difference.

Tunga & kri kri posted:Plex love. Nice. I pulled the trigger on the $3.99/1 month. I've encountered a problem when initiating file sync from the tablet itself. It would say 'Syncing' in the notification panel, then stop. When you check the status within the Plex app on the device, it would say 'Device Idle'. I've managed to get files synced by initiating it from the media server app in the browser though so it looks good now.
