Jinnigan posted:Is there a better music app than google music? It really is a terrible design all around, and more frustratingly it won't let me Chromecast my sideloaded music I've been using doubleTwist for a few weeks, and I enjoy it. Not sure how well it does or doesn't work with Chromecast, through, since I don't own one.

Who knows more about her than Google? You? Pffft. Google's precise relationship algorithm has decided to keep her removed from your messaging for a reason. It's not a bug, it's the future of relationship matching, brought to you by Google Relations.

The Dominos app already has voice ordering, and Google Now has the new updates to tie into third party apps, so I doubt it'll be long until you can order pizza from across the room without having to nervously talk to a real person.

Are there any whitenoise apps you recommend? I need something to drown out my ear ringing. I like rain noises the most. I just need it to play for like 30mins until I fall asleep.

In the Facebook app, did Instagram pop up under the favorites section on the rightmost page for anybody else? I know you can configure your favorite items from the desktop site, but the desktop site doesn't have an Instagram item. I've never used Instagram and have no intention to start. This is dumb.

Apparently, even Google isn't so keen on Hangouts being used for SMS. http://www.droid-life.com/2015/05/06/google-actually-recommends-that-you-use-messenger-for-sms-over-hangouts/

In some respects it's surprising to me that it takes so long to get Hangouts up to speed on full SMS/MMS support. It's not like they're implementing a fully general artificial intelligence...

Hangouts works fine for me including group texting but it doesn't hide the fact that it's a slow bloated mess I dislike using.

Weird, I’ve had better luck with group messaging in Hangouts that I ever did with other messaging apps. Regardless, my messaging habits are about a 50/50 split between Hangout messages and SMS, so there’s not much motivation to split it between two apps.

Messenger is a much better looking app than Hangouts, by such a huge margin it isn't even funny.

I have a random request- is there an app that lets me change the media/app volume with no apps running? On my Galaxy Note 3, I was able to change the media volume at any time, but now on my nexus 6 the volume buttons only affect the system volume unless I have an app currently playing sound. I'm always scared to start an app up at work lest it start blaring music. Is there a default way to change this that I'm missing?

You can go to sound and notification settings and change it which is a pain in the rear end but you can make a settings shortcut widget. There's also some things you can install that will override the default volume pop up to give it more sliders but the ones I've tried have been janky.

Hangouts is an exceptionally poorly designed app, it's visually cluttered, clunky to use, and generally just ugly and slow and bad. Actually hangouts is just really bad in almost every conceivable way. And to think that for a time Google tried to make it the flagship for all messaging needs. Dozens of developers working by themselves make better working, more consistent, and more visually appealing SMS/messaging apps than the entire Google app developer workforce. It's pretty sad honestly.
