Does anyone else know of a similarly pretty (yes I'm shallow) weather app with a decent 4x1 widget? Just quoting myself in the hope someone might be able to help me out!

Not in a central setting (which is something I hope they fix), but nearly every major App (Gmail, Hangouts, Fenix, Textra...) has it under Options->Notifications. There you usually can set tone, vibrate and often enough LED blinking and other stuff.

Thermopyle posted:His do you know of it wastes "so much" power? I assume it does because spinning a weighted wheel every two minutes all day must use some amount of power. Besides, the vibration just annoys me and I've turned it totally off on every other phone I've ever owned because I think it is obnoxious. theres a will theres moe fucked around with this message at 11:57 on Sep 23, 2014 |

Why are PDFs so slow on mobile devices? Both my Nexus 5 and 7 take forever to actually render a page. It's only a 15mb document. Tried the default Google Office app or whatever it's called and the Adobe one which was only marginally better.

Tried the default Google Office app or whatever it's called and the Adobe one which was only marginally better. I just tried a 14mb PDF on a Nexus 5 with adobe reader. It took maybe 20 seconds to render all the pages, though the first few were done earlier, maybe 1s per page, so if I was actually reading it it wouldn't have been much waiting at all. After that, I could scroll through all the pages smoothly with no issues or rendering. E: Actually, that's not quite true. Looks like once I got to pg 17 or 18 out of 19, which had very large images on them, then scrolled quickly back to the beginning, the first 4-5 pages had to be re-rendered. If you're doing a lot of flipping back and forth through the pages, I could see why that would be really annoying. For just reading, though, seems good enough. sourdough fucked around with this message at 15:12 on Sep 23, 2014 |

Active else getting a swarm of Google surveys lately? I guess they're testing out some new business-location tracker, because I've gotten asked "When was the last time you went to Target?", with the actual day I went as one of the options.

Took me a while to figure this out too as I don't think this is documented anywhere. I'm having trouble with this technique - even with someone listed as a contact at contacts.google.com, they still don't show up in the magnifying glass search. Pretty frustrating.

I'll try and add a little more detail, and get some screenshots when I have more time: Click on magnifying glass: the text box should say "Search for people" and then there's a phone icon to the right of the text box Click on phone icon: the text box should say "Name, phone number" and I have a US flag to the left of the text box. This is where you type in who you want to SMS.

Miscreant posted:I use a PwnPad, pretty nice tool the phone version is newer but IMO running command line is hard enough on a tablet. There is a community edition you can use on Nexus 7 and Nexus 5 if you don't want to buy the full version. The main (only?) difference is direct support. I talked quite a bit to the Kali team and they are working on abstracting the mobile hardware though so in the future it should be available to load onto other rooted platforms but it's not there yet. If you get a chance Kali does their Dojo events at a lot of security conferences including Derby Con in Kentucky next week and they usually do a session on mobile that is well worth attending, they'll even help you build a community edition device if you bring your own. To add to this, Kali just released their new build that they are calling NetHunter today for Nexus 10, 7 and 5. Rooted only, really you won't get want you want without rooting it. http://www.kali.org/kali-linux-nethunter/

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good timetabling app or something similar. Basically I want an app that I can fill in what I've done for each hour of the day and give two independent ratings out of ten for it. It'd be great if I could export the data as well, but not really that necessary. Obviously I can do this with a spreadsheet but that seems quite cumbersome, especially from my phone. Thanks.

I'm trying to set places in Google Now but every time it tells me that it "Can't reach Google at the moment". I've been trying for a couple days and it doesn't seem to matter if I'm on wifi or not. One suggestion I found said to clear Google Search's cache but that hasn't seemed to have any effect. Anybody know how to get this to work?

Technically you don't need root to get the battery stats, you just need to be a system app. Practically, you can't install an app to the system partition without root, so you need root. But once you've done that, the app itself doesn't need root access.

Are people actually answering the survey questions with any consistency? In recent weeks, I've been an expecting mother of four who runs her own construction business and visits car dealerships based upon the year they were founded (STRONGLY IMPORTANT) and a young-ish twentysomething that has never heard of Gucci but does have some very strong opinions on wages at big box retailers. Ever since I decided that every survey question I answered should be as though I'm a different individual, I've gotten a survey practically every other day. I'm contributing to some very interesting marketing demographics, I'm sure. Currently sitting on $10.15 of credit, still trying to decide what to spend it on.

According to Google, it's all "anonimized" anyway, so I can't see why there's any harm in answering how you want.
