I've gotten collection calls for other people quite a few times. They would call me like 8 times and give up.

This reminds me of when I first got my phone number from Verizon 6 years ago, and I had bill-collectors calling me leaving messages in Spanish for a few months. That was fun.

Fortunately I don't get many poo poo calls, but that's a good idea for the future. I wouldn't have thought of that. Been debating about whether to switch up numbers when I activate FI on my 6p. I'm known for switching numbers and I wasn't going to this time, but now I'm not so sure. Guess I'll see how annoying this gets.

Also if you are getting debt collection calls not for you follow the FTC guide. If they keep calling you report them, the FTC can force them to pay out compensation.

Spooky thing: I bought a suit from Men's Wearhouse a while back and the guy who had my number beforehand had the same measurements and first name as me. Never set foot inside a MW before, but I get in there and after picking the suit they just took it right back for tailoring and brought it back with a pretty good fit. I think I needed the pant cuffs let out a smidge but I'm one of those weirdos who is picky about how the cuff rests on the shoe.

One of the managers told a story where the company wouldn't come out to fix the sign when a light blew out. Finally she called them and said, "Just want to let you know, we're the Men's earhouse." Apparently that was enough to get them to fix it.

I have a question about Action Launcher 3. I have an N6 and I can't seem to get the QuickPage function to work. I have the pro edition of AL3 and it's enabled in the menu. I can also drag stuff onto the quick page icon but I can't get it to display no matter where on the right I swipe. Am I doing something wrong or is there a bug in this version? Edit: Nevermind, a reboot seemed to fix it. Ochowie fucked around with this message at 03:21 on Oct 31, 2015 |

I just read about an app called CLONEit, which migrates data (including installed apps but I think not data) to a new Android phone. Since we all know Google's solution is still half-baked (on Lollipop at least), this sounds like a right helpful tool. Can anyone see any suspicious aspects of this? Obviously you wouldn't have the app back up contacts, and you can use some other app to back up and restore texts if you don't want this developer possibly getting that information.

Could be they are trying to collect a debt from family or something, but whatever the case, gently caress em. Sometimes when you close a checking/savings brick and mortar bank account (like BofA) about a year later you will get random calls from collectors saying you still owe BofA money for a check you wrote and then closed your account before it cleared. That happened to me about 8 years ago. All you do is ask for the paperwork to be mailed to you and they never bother you again. gently caress you BofA for selling them and gently caress you whatever scumbag collection company bought the old closed accounts and tried to milk former customers for their credit card numbers.

I use Google Photos to back up my camera roll online. When I use the app to open a photo that has been backed up, it only loads a low-resolution thumbnail and I have to zoom into the image for it to load the full-resolution version. The full-res version is stored on my phone so I don't know why it doesn't just load that in the first place. Is this how it's supposed to work? Can I change it?

Probably just going to swap the crappy ISP router out since it doesn't support 5GHz or 11ac. Turns out there's no modem and my ISP claims I can just connect any random router to the wall and it'll work so my flatmate's Airport Extreme should do the trick. Edit: Also just realised this is the app thread, no idea how I ended up posting about Wi-Fi here, sorry.

I changed jobs about a month ago, and manually set my work address to my new place rather than waiting for Google to notice it. My company is listed on Google Maps so I was able to choose the exact location. My start time is the same as in my previous job. So far, Google Now has not ONCE reported commute time to work, although it did so every day before I moved. Anyone know why this might be, or how to fix it?

From my experience, Google Now does whatever it wants. When it works, it's almost magical. And then it doesn't and you feel like an idiot trying to fix it. At the moment, my "home address" when adding location based reminders is a place I'm driving by often but never ever have been to or even stopped once. For everything else (commutes, navigation in general, weather, etc.), Google has the right address. But for reminders, it's hosed because NOW.

Yeah, Google Now decided to make my home address some place I drove by on the way to work also for about a month or so randomly, even though I have my home address set in google maps. It eventually fixed itself, but it was pretty drat annoying seeing Now cards leading to some random rear end place. I say this all the time but we really need a  emote in the form of the  one.

"Hi, honey, Google says I live here. Guess I'm your husband, now." Google Now reminds me to watch Gotham every week and every week I tell it I'm not interested in the show.

All those reasons are why I hate google now. I'd use it if it would let me select specific "things" like "I want to see traffic from this place to this place, but only on thursdays around 4pm" but no, google wants it to be smart enough to know without you telling it, well guess what, computers just aren't there yet. I almost missed a flight because when google added stuff to my calendar from a confirmation e-mail it didn't do the timezones right on the return journey. Good thing I double-checked.

It's annoying because you used to be able to add TV shows manually and now it goes by your search history, I guess? It's kind of a moot point for me anyway as I never watch TV "live" but a day or a week later on Hulu, but I liked the reminder when new seasons would start. Google Now also gets confused when I'm driving and will tell me that my car is parked 1-2 miles away at a place I drove past (not stopped, not even for a red light) once every week or two.

Once you're in the About part of your profile it's in the Contact Information card. If it's not set there, I would add it. My problem was with my home address, but I wouldn't be surprised if the same or similar dumb thing was happening to you. When I moved, I corrected it in Now, but using Now I would always get a card prompting me if I wanted to use my old address - even after two weeks of daily commuting, without going back to the old address, and daily correcting the address in Now. When updating other info I finally got to my G+ profile and saw it had the old address; I changed it, updated my privacy settings, and that was that.
