Does anybody else not get notifications when Inbox receives a new message? I wanna like the app, but I never get notified when a message comes in if its not in my main box. I have everything set to notify me when each new message comes in, but I still don't get anything, which kinda defeats the purpose of an email app, if you know what I mean. Mainly just curious if I missed a setting or if this is just a bad bug with Inbox.

It's a setting in the app, you can set notification for each bundle individually. E: it isn't particularly well hidden, Settings > Your Email > Label settings and notifications.

Is it set to only notify once daily? Alternatively you could be quashing them if they're not being allowed as priority notifications.

The lack of notification on most emails has actually been quite liberating for me. I'm only really notified when it's not some random thing I don't have to be aware of or react to. When I open it up and see a bunch of useless emails I thank inbox for not making me bother.

When I open it up and see a bunch of useless emails I thank inbox for not making me bother. This is kind of how I see it - I don't need to know about every email right away but I am compelled to look at and action the mail notification when it appears. Inbox tackles that problem by shunting the half-step-above-junk-mail stuff into bundles quietly and only letting me know about the important stuff that goes into the main inbox (stuff sent personally by people I know, as well as the occasional verification or password reset thing, it's learned well) so I can just zip through the promo stuff, glance at the headers, and pin any interesting stuff for later - gift ideas this time of year, any interesting news, etc.

It doesn't have an "archive all the poo poo in here which isn't starred/pinned" function to go with those tabs, and Inbox is way more focused on the sorting aspect with bundles whereas Gmail is like "eh, we got these tabs." Inbox also allows custom bundles. I imagine you could do nearly everything in desktop browser Gmail that Inbox does, except it's built into Inbox and that makes all the difference on mobile.

I wanted a good music application, or that you convince me that those 60MB of memory that google play takes while idling isn't that big of a deal. I have a huge library that I could be uploading to google play but I really don't like apps that stay on the background even after I force stopped them, and I think I got some performance out of disabling google play entirely.

You wouldn't believe how much is going on in the background with apps. They ain't sitting there in storage waiting hopefully for you to click on them, they're up to all kinds of system shenanigans Just use it! You don't know what's going on in there, be free and upload your music and enjoy yourself

OK, I will give google play another try. Another thing that I don't really like about it is that I seemingly just orders all my library by music name. I'm guessing the most """""practical""""" way to deal with that is uploading the whole thing to my butt then download on my phone right?

You can view your library sorted by track, artist, or album, just like any other music player.

Sorry, I meant it orders each album by music name instead of track order. That's probably because I just copied it over since the album I bought from the play store has the correct track order. I though that maybe it was downloading meta data and would eventually fix itself but it never happened.

LastInLine posted:Does your uploaded music have good metadata? If not you may need to fix it either on the site or by deleting and reuploading once you have it straightened out locally. I didn't upload anything yet, I only copied my library to my sd card with the file browser on windows. most albums I have order just right in every music player, and I've gone through thousands, amarok, banshee, mpd. But it's hilarious to know that even uploading stuff to the cloud might not work.

I have to restart my LG G3 daily because it becomes unresponsive. It fails to wake up, or once awoken won't register icon presses. I don't think the android memory manager lives up to it's marketing. You shouldn't have to janitor your running processes, but there's a long list of things you shouldn't have to do but still have to do. My favorite is the 9 times out of 10 I can't answer a call, swipe, no, swipe, no, swipe, no, swipe, no, now why is my phone so hot.

The only time I ever have anything resembling memory scarcity is when I am viewing a website that is clearly not agreeing with Chrome. I will kill the tab and back out of Chrome, which is as close as I get to force-killing an app. Then again I'm using a Nexus 5 and aren't burdened by Touchwhiz or Sense and the like.

That's rarely, if ever a memory management issue, is the thing. If an app is sitting in memory using up 50 mb, closing it isn't going to do anything at all but waste battery. The problem you might be fixing in that case is a poorly coded app keeping your phone awake and using tons of cpu cycles, and if you're on android 5.x you can see if that will help on the battery stats screen. edit: or maybe I haven't used a Samsung device in 2 years, and that one was running CM, so my experiences don't count! egg tats fucked around with this message at 16:44 on Dec 22, 2014 |

Your thousands of music players are probably going by filename and directory structure, so if you have Now_Thats_What_I_Call_Music_102/CD_1/01_Lou_Bega_Mambo_No_5_BESTRIPZ_.ogg then they'll go with that if there's no other information or if you have it set up that way. That's not how any modern system works, you tag things with data like Artist, Album, Year or whatever and then the library will use all that to group things however you want, so if you want a Celine Dion mix (including her rare collaborations with Merzbow) you can just do that and let the music player handle identifying all the songs she's tagged in. Your best bet is getting something like MP3Tag and sitting down with a drink and just fixing them in bulk. Once it's done it's done, and if you're already pretty organised that's half the work done! Only thing to worry about with Google's system is it's real picky about formatting, so make sure any tags that are meant to match are exactly the same, caps and all

I was a Falcon Pro holdout for a long time, but Fenix is just a better app (that's more actively developed). I think the next closest one I'd recommend is TwittNuker, which I've never seen mentioned in here, but I messed with for a little bit last week and liked it (not enough to move away from Fenix though).

Come to think of it, though, it hasn't done that in a while. However, I only read tweets, so that may factor into my judgement of the app.

program666 posted:I know how to use some tagging apps on bash and all but I still think it would be indefinitely easier to use another music player, specially if it's one that I can order songs by filename and/or directory, specially considering I'm constantly acquiring new albums. I guess everyone here just uses google play which is a bummer. It's literally the difference between everything working perfectly all the time and nothing ever working the way you'd expect. Even weirder to me is that now having a local music collection is kind of niche so you'd think that those who have one would be the ones most likely to care about good metadata but if anything it seems like it's the opposite. My pet theory is that it's because these people were too into tag janitoring that they never let iTunes manage their music so now a decade after everyone else has perfect tag data they're still micromanaging folders and poo poo because they don't realize this has been a solved problem for a long time now.

program666 posted:It's because it just works on my pc and my old phone. Like I said though it isn't just you. I've seen this many many times before and it's very common for people to ask for an app that reads folder structure in this very thread. I just can't imagine caring that much about having music while at the same time not caring that the tag data on the collection is a clusterfuck. It seems to me like either you really care about both having your music and having their metadata be accurate or you don't care at all about your music or how it's tagged. The thing I find weird is that there are people who really, really want local music but really, really don't want to properly tag their stuff. I think this is a situation where I'm confused by people in general, not you specifically.

It was so liberating when I deleted all my music a few years ago and switched to streaming services. It might not be for everyone, but everyone should give it serious thought. No worrying about folders, metadata, syncing, downloading, ripping.

On the google player none of them are ordered correctly. easytag is a good gnu tagger. it can convert old tags to the current if everything else is good. It can also scan based on file structure to pull names if you have a strict naming convention. Otherwise, grab poweramp. It can play based on folders. I retag everything I have on my computer to make sure its in the format I like, and I still prefer to have a nice folder structure. I figure its holding onto the past, but I hate the idea of only using meta tags. The only thing I have issues with on my stuff is the album art. For some reason when I add it to the tags, it only works most of the time. I can't figure out why the ones that dont show album art don't work. Also don't care quite enough to look into it.
