You can upload your FLAC collection to Google Play Music and stream / cache them on the phone so that you don't have to micro manage.

Do you honestly believe that telling someone who uses FLAC that they don't have to micro manage would be perceived as a good thing? It's like you don't even get autism, man.

Anyone have a suggestion for a 2-port adaptive fast charge S7 compatible charger? Both for the car and for home/travel. My SO and I took advantage of the BOGO verizon deal and are happy owners of some S7's, so I want to take advantage of the charging speed possibilities.

Well I just used it as an example of something I'd consider "sensitive", because I found another thread where one of the guys said:

Dev guy posted:


The logs we aim to capture don't typically contain sensitive information. Anything is possible though, so we have a system that scrubs log files for possible personal infomation before the log is accessible, and then access to logs is generally restricted. The security of all of the information is proctected by your program agreement with us, and more generally by our privacy policy.


I just don't like how vaguely worded it is because it implies to me that they can't really tell what exactly kind of info they will get.

You act like ever touching your data plan is the world's worst thing.

Pin a bunch of music you listen to regularly, and if you want to stream to something else JUST loving DO IT. This is a solution good enough for 99% of the population. Stop pretending edge cases are the majority. If you REALLY need to have your whole collection available for whatever reason a MotoG takes mSD cards and is cheap/usable/doesn't-need-a-data-plan/you'll-spend-more-on-the-SD-cards-anyway.

If you go in the Fi thread, it's a bunch of people min-maxing their data use because making sure you're on some terrible free wifi before doing anything with data is better than spending more than $20 a month for service I guess.

Here's an interesting thing I discovered about my Note 5 charging issue.

When plugged in it is taking about twice as long to charge as it does when I wireless charge... like any wired charging is just usb powered charge like you'd get when charging from a computer port.

Right now I'm at 26% battery.

4 hours and change to wired charge to full

2 hours and change to wireless charge to full

I'm ready to just do a factory reset on the drat phone and see if that fixes it.

Are you using the same wall-wart and cord on your wireless paddle and your direct charge? Just because the adapter isn't plugged into a computer doesn't necessarily mean that it's providing a full 1A+ to the charging port on your phone.

Additionally, android and apple use slightly different wiring for AC charging, so oftimes car-chargers will only give you the USB rate if it was made for high-current charging for an Apple phone or vice versa.

Actually I got another system update today and that seems to have fixed things. I couldn't even connect as a usb device to a computer but everything seems fixed as of now.

Cricket has an unlimited plan for $70, including taxes. That comes down to $65 if you autopay. Seriously if your phone is that much of a fixture in your drat life that you need 4 obesity batteries plus hotswappable SD cards then maybe you should consider cutting back on the pocky and ramen and getting a decent data plan.

This.

I remember when I got in on T-Mo's unlimited family plan where it was $100/m for two lines of unlimited everything (pretty sure it's more now) and despite the fact that I previously never exceeded 1GB/m, it was so freeing forgetting all those saved wifi networks with their captive portals and not giving a gently caress about data.

Of course on T-Mobile music is free anyway but still, what kind of life must one lead to have that much time and energy to devote toward min-maxing your data usage? gently caress that, I've got poo poo to do.

I live in Canada. A data plan that would allow me to stream everything comes in only two options:
1. A lovely network at a reasonable price
2. A good network but a monthly plan that runs $100+ (and that's probably a low estimate).

My 6p without quick charge still charges very fast using the included charger. If it charged any faster it would have no real world benefit to me.

Crap, my bad, somehow deleted that info. Galaxy S6. No voicemails in my Voicemail program.

When I click on the notification it takes me to the Voicemail inbox where I have no messages. I can turn notifications for the whole program off but I don't want to do that in case I do get a voicemail?

Sprint, yup, multiple times. I thought it would go away once I set up my voicemail message since the notification still says "Getting Started" but to no avail. Oh it also says there are 2 notifications from the Voicemail app, but trying to expand it shows only the "Getting Started' notification.

Go to Settings, Mobile networks, Network operators, Search networks, and when it scans, select a different operator than you're with. It will not be able to register. Restart the phone and see if that helps.

No, seriously... what kurds?!
So, I have this 32GB Nexus 5X. I ran the N Beta until recently, then flashed Marshmallow back because N Beta 2 was unstable as gently caress. For some unrelated reason, I tapped into the Storage settings and noticed that it says 10.55GB storage. Like with the 16GB model. What in the gently caress happened here? I had to flash things back manually, because things kept loving up. Where's my storage gone?

--edit: Apparently this happened because I flashed every .img separately instead of doing a flash-all. Which I can't because the all images together are too large to load into a 32bit process in Windows. Goddamn, Google!

It depends. Prior to Marshmallow, you could only have media on the SD card. That would mean music, pictures, videos, caches, etc. On a per app basis, some would allow you to move large assets to the SD card but again that would mean the app (and let's be real, these are games) would have to support that. This would all be managed by the user and I would consider it to be a hassle. This does not help you with apps in any way.

Post Marshmallow there is the option for married storage where the SD card is treated as permanent storage and is symlinked to the internal storage. This would allow you to not have to manually manage things and would remove limitations on how you could use your storage with the tradeoff that should the SD card be removed or fail you'd lose everything in the user partition. Only the Moto X supports this mode if I remember correctly and Samsung and LG do not have the option for this.
