I think it's the result of a buffer overflow from all the poo poo in the notification area. Seriously, get your poo poo together, get it all together and put it a backpack. All your poo poo, so it's together. And if you have to take it somewhere, take it somewhere you know. Take it to the poo poo store and sell it or put it in a poo poo museum, I don't care what you do, you just gotta get it together. Get your poo poo together.

Depends on if it's a legacy card or not. If it's a fully supported card, it's supposed to act just like if you had swiped the card.

I'm having some sim card read errors. The error is a pop up that says along the lines of "sim card removed, please restart" and the only option is to restart. I have a Galaxy S4, I've replaced the sim card reader and the sim card itself and this still happens. So now what? It is a physical problem, if I leave the phone untouched on a table, most of the time it won't happen. If I have it in my pocket the chances increase. Positioning the sim card differently may help.

So as someone who is about to move from a Galaxy S4 to the Moto X Pure, how's the size increase? The S4 is the biggest phone I've ever used and I'm nervous about the Pure being Galaxy Note sized, but in reading reviews people say that you get used to the larger screen and that you don't need to worry. Is that true? I'm afraid I'm going to hate my new phone even though I'm really excited for it.

Now I find myself lusting after 6 inch screen phones. Basically, once you go big... Edit: I'm also A Tall at 6'3" and have large hands, so I might just now be approaching a hard limit at a 6 inch phone. Lusts for Nexus 7 a year from now.

I think the Xperia Z Ultra, with its 6.44'' screen, is a bit large, but a little bit south of that's perfect. Of course, nobody makes giant phones, so we're stuck with old hardware.

Does anyone still use a music manager to sync with their phone? I'm thinking of switching back to an Android after two years, but I have an 8,000 track music library and have come to depend on iTunes's smart playlists to manage them without a lot of manual intervention. I need something on the desktop and phone side that can: 1) Track and update playcounts, date last played, etc. [This part's easy]; and 2) Support complex playlists - iTunes lets you make Boolean-like playlists (e.g.: Last Played is NOT in the last month AND (Rating is > 3 stars OR (Rating = 3 stars AND Playcount > 5))). The second one seems to be the hard part - I guess not many people make complex playlists, so most developers don't get more complicated than 1,000 tracks of "songs I like." In the worst case, I still have an iPod classic that I can use for music, but it would be nice to have everything in one device. Alternatively, has there been much development in the doubletwist/iSyncr world?

Yeah. me too. I've had both (I went Moto X 2014 to Nexus 6) and that's the one thing I really miss because it was so much cooler and way more responsive. I'd also really like to use the double twist to launch the camera.

hooah posted:Turns out they're just deactivated initially. Does anyone know of Android Pay still causes problems with cards by severely obfuscating purchases? I know people here have complained about that in the past. Android Pay uses a tokenization system, contactless EMV, to process the transaction. So, like Apple Pay, it requires the financial institution to support the technology so you have to have a participating company for the system to work. If you have a card from that company then they issue a virtual card number then tokenize the payments from there, everything looks like you used your physical card. The old wallet payment system was supposed to work similarly, but Google couldn't get everyone to play nice, so they built a virtual proxy card system. Under that system you used the proxy card, google then charged your designated card and paid off the virtual one. This lead to all kinds of issues including rewards not tracking and complicating returns. Old cards still in the system can for a time being continue to be used with the proxy card if they're not supported properly in Android pay. Obviously, this system was costing Google money so I'm not at all surprised to see it go. The new Wallet is just a stored value system for sending money to and from people and bank accounts. Similar to a PayPal kind of system. You can still get a Google Wallet card issued and add THAT card to Android Pay if you want to use that balance for NFC purchases.

Note that it only works with password-protected lock screens - pin and pattern locks aren't affected (though they are less inherently secure, of course). Still yet more evidence that the platform is pretty flawed from a security standpoint, though.

I don't know, most platforms are insecure when you have the physical device. Problem with phones is it's easy to get hold of the physical device. That is a pretty glaring flaw, though. Especially with the upcoming Blackberry phone where typing in a really long password is easy thanks to the hardware keyboard!

Edit: The video of this talk claims that you are correct, so I don't dispute that it is a fact, but I'm struggling to see the obvious reason for that to be the case. I understand that arranging x discrete items into all possible combinations gives the same number for x and x-1, intuitively, but the lock pattern isn't that simple because not everything links to everything.

You can draw the pattern over previous nodes freely, so any 8-length pattern has a corresponding 9-length pattern that is drawing from the last dot in the 8-length pattern to the only remaining dot.

Speaking of Moto Voice, when I'm in the car and it goes into driving mode, should I be talking to my phone via the car's microphone or do I need to have the phone out of my pocket and speak directly to it's mic? Both seem a little unreliable. Also, please post your hilarious launch phrases, I need to replace "OK Moto X" with something inspired

It's a bit of a bummer that there's no easy way to switch the double-twist camera gesture to open the Google camera rather than the Moto one. I've done without it for years so it isn't an inconvenience but it's pretty cool except for the fact that the moto camera app is a dumpster fire compared to the Google one, when it comes to my X Pure. It's got a legit good camera, it's just saddled with the ton of poo poo that is the Moto camera.

Well, I felt the phone got a little laggy after almost two years of use with KitKat, and I don't think that Lollipop made it any worse. It feels like some apps take longer to initially open. I can't tell if its affected the battery for better or worse. edit: Can someone give me advice on car mounts? I've been using a vent mount for years now but it has always bothered me to block that vent (no heat/air coming from that vent kind of sucks). The vent is near the top of the dashboard and I like the phone near there because its easy to reach and glance at without blocking my view of the road. I tried looking at window mounts and it just seems that wherever I'd put the phone it would block my view, a lot. So, can someone tell me more about the mechanisms to attach a mount to the top of the dashboard? I don't think the ones that look like sandbags would stay put at all, but I can't screw a mount in because its a lease. The only other type I've seen is where you have a smooth plastic base with adhesive on the bottom, and then you put a suction cup mount on top of it. Does the adhesive hold up well? Is it easy to remove with something like Goo-Gone? Doctor Butts fucked around with this message at 21:35 on Sep 17, 2015 |

Edit:^^^That^^^ should've read like this: Make 1 playlist with your second two conditions as a "Match either of the following conditions", then have the 2nd playlist set to match all conditions, and have it just pull off of the first playlist and also match your first condition. I'm smart - S M R T. Of course, you could also do the double twist route. I haven't ever used it, so I can't advise of how well it works or not, but it is definitely still A Thing. I'd imagine that it breaks every time you update iTunes without updating it along side. A third option would be to use Media Monkey as a dumb pipe to just track your play counts on your phone, then sync all of your played counts back to the computer, then pull up iTunes to do the heavy lifting.

Thanks for the suggestion but the slot for the CD player is almost all the way down by the cupholders. I don't want to take my eyes off the road that much if I have to look at the screen, and the mechanism would probably get in the way of things I stow down there.

Mounts that use "nano-suction" cups work really well for most surfaces indefinitely, and pretty much all surfaces for short periods of time, and they leave no residue. iOttie uses them, and the new Tylt wireless car mount uses them. Not sure who else.
