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. OK, well I've updated it there, but I have to say I'm kind of sceptical that that's going to make any difference. It seems like just a freeform text field - it didn't do any searching, drop-down suggestions or any form of validation on the address that I could tell.

Anyone know how to keep an app out of the share menu? Today's pushbullet update added "direct share" on marshmallow which clutters up my share menu with a bunch of crap i will never use. I hate it. I stopped using messenger for the same reason.

I know you can replace the share menu with alternates, but I don't have any specific recommendations. The only one I'm finding (I guess searching for "share" is too general!) is this app that hasn't been updated in almost three years, but it lets you hide apps. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andmadesoft.share EDIT: Here's another I've read about in the past. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oakstar.fliktu Uthor fucked around with this message at 20:01 on Nov 3, 2015 |

With Android Pay v1.1, it is possible to use the app without having a credit card attached to it.

Most of my surveys are location-based, usually Target or CVS. It was fun when I was in Memphis on a work trip and I got like 4 surveys asking if I had been near a Hilton. During a 2 day trip. Those questions are typically followed by "rate your experience", so I suspect they may be using those ratings to generate overall star ratings on Google Maps.

I don't know if this should go in the app thread, or the regular Android thread. I've tried googling but am failing badly. With an Android phone that has caller id set to not send, is there an app, or a way, to override that for specific numbers? There are certain people that I call who won't answer if the number is private, so I'd like to have it so the number is shown to them without having to go through the faff of disabling and enabling sending of caller ID.

I've noticed there are annoyingly two different share menus on marshmallow/Nexus 6P. 1.) Go look at a picture in your gallery (in my case Photos) and click the share icon and you will see a list in order of most used (it appears). 2.) Open the camera app and click the last picture you took (bottom right). Now click the share button and you will see a different menu. The second option is the one that has the annoying Pushbullet and Messenger icons now. I really only use pushbullet to push things from my computer to a device and to monitor notifications. If I want to send something to a device I would much rather click the pushbullet icon than have all of these annoying ones visible at the top of the share list. I don't use Messenger at all and I would love to remove that row of icons. This is the annoying one that we're talking about. Maybe it's only available inside the camera app?

I'm having trouble setting a reminder in Google Keep. I have set it for a specific date (December 6), it has then reminded me about it at 9am the next day. This has happened twice now. Is the app just broken? I never used to have any issue with it.

Looks like the same menu to me, just using different Intents. Apps can register things called Intent Filters, which let them handle events that other apps trigger, like wanting to send a photo to something or browse a URL. That's how the menu gets populated, it's all the apps that are registered to handle that particular action. So it looks like Pushbullet is responding to a particular Intent by spamming a bunch of handlers. And since there's no real difference between sharing a pic from Photos and from the Camera gallery, the lack of spamming on one of them is probably a (temporary) oversight

Nah they're totally different menus. They look different, icons are in a different order, one says "share to" at the top and one doesn't. e: on stock marshmallow, anyway.

You're right that the layout's different (the font in the main thing, the title is optional) but they're both populated the same way, cos that's how it works on Android. I get a different set of apps for both, so they're using different intents that get different responses Apps like camera and photos don't have a whitelist of all the apps they want to work with, they send out predetermined messages that say they want something to handle a specific task, and all your apps can register as a handler for that message. Those are the ones that pop up in the list. So even if they look different (photos looks like it rolled its own share tray to fit the MD guidelines) they still really work the same

I'm going to want to migrate mi familia to some kind of messaging app with our new baby and photo sharing. Mostly Android and iPhone with one BlackBerry in the mix. What is the recommended messenger that won't screw with the photos too much, if at all? WhatsApp? Telegram? Signal? I'm ok with leaving the BBM out in the cold if the alternative is a superior solution since they need to upgrade anyway.

I was just bitching to my friend yesterday that the Facebook Messenger app sucks, especially since it was bugging out displaying photos that he was sending me. And it often crashes when selecting it from the app switcher. I don't know about the Messenger app, but the Facebook Groups app likes to downsize images that I upload to it. Edit: to be fair, my friend said he never had any problems with the app. I use a Moto X 2014 and he runs a Galaxy SIII. Uthor fucked around with this message at 05:47 on Nov 5, 2015 |

I agree with sharing via am album and links, but that isn't the greatest end user experience to look through a chat history with just a list of links. Also, I have the trump card to move people from SMS to something else, so if it makes sense I can force the issue. Everyone is reasonably tech savvy and local so getting apps installed isn't an issue. Also, for lots of reasons, gently caress Facebook. WhatsApp maybe, but FB messenger no chance.

What is the recommended messenger that won't screw with the photos too much, if at all? WhatsApp? Telegram? Signal? I like Telegram a lot and it's got the option to send full-sized or compressed photos, plus a "media history" section that will show all the photos sent in the chat. There's no official BB client but there are unofficial ones since it's an open API, can't speak to their quality though. WhatsApp is probably the best bet for all three platforms, but it's still a Facebook product so depends on why and how much you hate Facebook I suppose An alternate solution is Carousel by Dropbox, it does have chat built in but it's not ideal for text communication but if you use DB for photos already it's worth a go Geektox fucked around with this message at 06:27 on Nov 5, 2015 |

What's the difference between looking through SMS history for links and looking through Chat App X's history for links? If you use Google Photos they added a sharing system where you can create albums and add people to them. Then they'll get update messages whenever you add some new photos, and you can let them add their own if they took some you want to include. Plus you get the benefit of having all the pics in an actual photo management and sharing system

Like many things, I can change WHAT they use to do something easier than I can HOW they do it.
