I don't know if this is the right thread, but: I have a 2014 Moto X. I have encryption turned on. I just noticed that if I turn the phone off (or the battery dies... Oops), the phone doesn't ask for a code to unlock. It just boots like normal. There was a system update not too long ago. I wonder if that screwed something up. What can I check to get encryption to require a code before the phone boots, like it used to? Edit: Figured it out. Turns out LastPass, of all things, was preventing it. To allow LastPass to auto fill app passwords, you need to enable it in Acessibility Options. Enabling anything there turns off the ability to ask for a password at startup.

Does anyone use one of the sky map apps? After google open sourced it years ago, half the ones I try are just the same app with added ads. Anyone know the best current one?

Can anyone suggest any good writing apps? Something that tracks written word count/character count would be ideal. It doesn't need to be like Scrivener, but something with a nice UI that encourages you to write would be ideal.

During the Eclipse, I tried using Google Sky Map and StarTracker, but they were both wildly inaccurate on my 2014 Moto X. I don't know if something is wrong with my phone, or if the technology just isn't there, but I couldn't get either to even face the right direction.

Isn't there a way to calibrate your direction sensor on your phone? Usually by doing figure of 8s while rolling the phone? SkyMap worked great for me in Hawaii and BC

The original SkyMap works for me without problems. I guess the sky doesn't change that much.

I have thus concluded that phones compasses are all garbage and don't understand why there isn't a manual calibrator buried in the OS settings somewhere but there we go.

If anyone is annoyed with Chrome & Firefox and looking for an alternative browser, try Lightning. It's based on the Chromium system browser, but is open source, integrates ad blocking (pro version), has a slick tab interface in the sidebar, and seems fast and sane. Now my default. Now to get them to add sync to Firefox and its perfect.

Is there like an online grocery-list that works for both android and iPhone. My wife and I are always forgetting to pick poo poo up at the grocery, and I figured I might look for something like this. Remember the Milk might work, I'd have to mess around with it. But I wanted to see what my options are.

For what it's worth, this stopped synching between my wife's iPhone and my Android. No idea why, nothing I could do to get it working again. We just use the Kroger app now.

Is there an audio player which will let me stream an audio file to Android & PC, and sync playback location between the two devices? Sometimes I like to listen to podcasts on my PC, and sometimes I like to listen to podcasts on my phone, and its annoying as poo poo when I want to switch mid pod-cast. The audible player does this nearly flawlessly for audio books, and I'd like to be able to do the same with podcasts.

I believe the web sync is a paid feature, but it works pretty well for me.

I started the trial but 9$ is very reasonable considering how often I listen with pocket casts on my phone. Immediately having a synced list of all my unlistened podcasts is marvelous.

Zom Aur posted:Yeah, same. Occasionally it works or corrects itself, but it's usually about 90 degrees off. Interesting, I've noticed the same thing with my phone and just figured I just got a bad compass. So there's no solution for this?

Yup, that's basically it. It CAN work. I just did it recently with my phone. It was about 120 degrees off and I did some mystical phone movements and now it's dead on.

The waving-it-around thing has never made any difference for me. Sometimes the amount that is is wrong by changes a bit, but I've never had an accurate compass on any phone.

I've had it with Youtube. I need an alternative to the stock Youtube app that has a hard switch that uses one resolution that I define on mobile, and a different one or automatically adjusting on wifi, so I don't loving go over on my data again.

The compass on my N6 needs calibration almost every time I use it, on the other hand calibration works every time.
