Got a question about Pocket Casts, hopefully someone else here uses it for podcasts! When I subscribe to a podcast (in this example, This American Life) it will only show me like 20 podcasts to download, and they're all random episode number, not even in any particular order. I hit the show older episode thing and it just doesn't do anything. Maybe I'm just not understanding exactly where these podcasts are being downloaded from, and the older ones aren't available? I have no loving idea what I'm doing, please help.

You can only download the latest episode of This American Life. Try it with something else.

Some podcasts don't provide full backlogs on their RSS feeds and such, it's more to do with individual podcasts than the app itself.

If you look at the date that should be in sequence. Also they only leave a few past episodes available, they take older ones down. I think you can get them from a paid subscription.

Specifically on the topic of This American Life, I got fed up with their lovely android app for listening to shows, and instead just created a basic HTML file with links to every episode as they become available, all the way from the first. The code is here if anybody wants it, you can just save it as an html file, or host it externally: http://pastebin.com/HEzEGUQG and before anyone asks, yes this is hosted by them, the download source is from their decompiled flash player.

I found an android smartphone somebody dropped on the ground at comic con today. I texted the owners mom and arranged to meet up with the owners dad. They texted me a link, and I clicked on it, and it brought up a map of the local area, and there was a little arrow marker, showing them walking to where I was at, showing an ETA and their movement, like a video game minimap. Forgot what it was called, but it was pretty cool. What was it?

I have this app that adds a second tab to the notification page with these options. I don't know the name of it, but it used to have a button to toggle wifi and is gone now. I don't think it's an app because I can't find one for it, and I'm rooted, but I have no idea what to go to check for its settings. Anyone know about this?

If you click on the four squares icon in the top right. You can edit what appears on the settings panel. You must of accidently toggled it off.

Can anyone recommend a good memo/notes app? Preferably free, and it would need a good sized widget to go along with it, capable of creating multiple memos/notes and displayable in list for or sqipe through. The default samsung app isnt bad, but id also like the widget to display whatever memo I close it on or set. I use my phone for business and I dont need clients seeing my fantasy football draft strategy when I try to use it.

Hi Thread. Hopefully this is a quick and easy one. I use Android for my phone (HTC One) and a MacBook at home, and I've just updated the Mac's OS to OS X. With that came Maps, and I seem to have lost any way of syncing Google Maps for my phone with my Mac. Am I missing something obvious? Sorry if this has been asked before. I really used to like researching places for trips on my computer, saving them as bookmarks and having them appear on my phone. Like magic. I offer this picture of a duck/rabbit in payment.

Because that picture is so awesome, I'll just tell you that no, unfortunately not (also, I'm sure you had OS X before, now you probably have OS X Mavericks or something). The Maps application on OS X uses Apple Maps, which has no integration with Google--very much by design. Your best bet is getting Pushbullet, heading over to maps.google.com in your browser, setting up a route or whatever, and pushing the link to your phone which will then open up in Maps on your device. Also, I've noticed that Google Maps has been getting a lot better about saving pins you've previously visited. Most of the bars I've been to while I've had my phone on me (lol) now show up on Maps even at a pretty high zoom level. f#a# fucked around with this message at 21:54 on Jul 28, 2014 |

As an OS X and Android user, I can tell you that Google Maps in the browser (obviously not Maps the application) and Maps on the phone sync fine just as they always have. I can see why you prefer Maps the application though since the scrolling isn't all kinds of hosed up the way Google Maps is in the browser.

The other day I looked up public transport times using google maps on my computer. As I was walking to the bus stop I pulled out my phone and the Maps app already had the trip I was taking loaded on my phone. Pretty handy.

hooah posted:Could you elaborate on this? In Google Maps in the browser, that action scrolls which is interpreted as zoom so the first thing that I do every time I open it is this zoom out/zoom in thing like a tripping scene in a 60s movie. Grab (click and hold) to move the view is an incredibly awkward move on the trackpad.

Isn't that more of an argument that trackpads suck? They're a mouse replacement and that's how Maps works with a mouse - click drag to pan, mousewheel scroll to zoom in and out Can't you just double tap to click and hold?

LastInLine posted:Except Mac trackpads actually work and as such don't encourage people to use mice like animals. They work so well they encourage trackpads for use with their desktops. I'd say the thing that most OS X users value about it is the consistent user experience throughout rather than Windows' competing UI design among every application and in that regard Google Maps stands in stark relief compared to how everything else in the OS works. Nah, mac trackpads are terrible and you wouldn't have trouble moving around the map if they didn't do the bullshit "no physical buttons" thing. It's a good thing Google Maps isn't coded to only work well when a fraction of the small amount of people who even have a mac (i.e the laptop owners) are using it. So of course it stands in stark relief to how os x stuff works, in order to work well with what you have it'd have to work lovely for the other 96% of the world.

I didn't say I didn't understand why Google Maps works the way it does, I said I understand why an OS X user would prefer not to use it.

Clearly you've never actually used a mac trackpad since mac trackpads are way better than a traditional mouse in just about every way. I seriously hate using mice now whenever I have to.

My favorite thing about trackpads on Windows is the way two finger scroll is interpreted as three line "clicks" of the mouse wheel because using one-to-one motion would break quarter-century old mice so it will never happen ever.

Is there any way to disable the "location accuracy tips: turn on wifi" message in the latest version of Google Maps? They took away the check box from previous versions, and it's annoying to deal with every single time I use the app.

Does anyone know of an alarm app that will show up over WidgetLocker? Right now when the alarm goes off I have to swipe and then enter my PIN in order to dismiss the stupid alarm, kind of a pain in the arse. Right now I'm using AlarmDroid and that has no options I can see that will allow this kind of behaviour and googling this specific problem is doing my head in.
