EVIL Gibson posted:Problem is a lot of the free id databases are not populated correctly in all entries or the entry looks good until you realize a year later a song was misattributed (saying this artist did this track when they actually did this one) . What do id databases have to do with it? You already have the folder structure, make the album artist match what you already decided to sort the album as. Tag&Rename makes it easy to automate taking your existing folder structure's information to determine these things.

My SMS app Textra is using a lot of space. I suspect that's due to things like MMS photos, but maybe just a whole bunch of text as well? Is there some magic way to pull all the photos out from all the texts and not have them stored in the app data? Or to not have this build up in the first place? Kind of an obscure question I suppose.

The main metadata fight I'm in the ring with is really now with Plex because some of their logic is just silly . For music, I'm good with Google Music and my albums fold neatly into the radio system.

I'm still new to Android. Is there a web browser that doesn't have some sort of crippling flaw? Firefox has add-ons but I've been having all sorts of weird issues with it (my top sites on a new tab coming up blank to hard crashes) Chrome doesn't have add-ons (or any ad-blocker) and doesn't let you pick duckduckgo as a search browser Opera requires data-saving to be turned on to enable the ad-blocker and the ad-blocker is garbage. Also the options are lacking.

For the past photos, using an SMS backup app will save all the previous photos sent to you, so you can then delete them. Textra has an option to save all pictures it gets to the gallery. Do that and you'll be set to delete them as you go in the future.

Samsung Internet beta (works on most devices, doesn't have to be a Samsung) & an ad blocker like Disconnect Adhell & Chrome if you own a Samsung device (or Samsung Internet & any ad blocking extension). NetGuard works, but made my Nexus 6 very unresponsive at times. Fame Douglas fucked around with this message at 02:54 on May 19, 2017 |

Anyone have recommendations for a time-lapse app? Looking for something that lets me choose a photo interval and can run in the background and with the screen off. This would be for recording over a long period of time (e.g. 1 hour+ while the phone is in a car mount on a road trip), so I believe the app needs to take take pictures to create the time lapse rather create it from video capture like some apps do.

I signed up for Youtube TV, and so far I'm very happy with it. Just one problem though: when I visit the page for the Android app on my Droid Turbo 2 (7.0,) it tells me that the app isn't compatible with my device. Does anyone know why this is? I understand other phones running Nougat can get it.

Is there a way to set "quiet hours" for a specific app? I installed Outlook to use with my work email (I know I could use Gmail, but I want to keep work and personal as separate as possible). While I don't get a lot of emails, and almost none outside of work hours, I'd still like to set it so it never notifies me after, say 6 pm or on the weekends (I don't get paid enough to deal with work outside of work). It's not a huge deal as I already have it set to not ding or vibrate and anything I get is really infrequent, but it seems like a common use case. I already use Do Not Disturb, but that's only for night and I don't want to shut my entire phone down on the weekends to stop one app.

Adguard has a sale on it's licenses right now and I'm interested, as I would like to ditch Firefox in favor of Chrome. Anyone have experience with it? Should I expect my battery to be drained and my browser history sent to Russia?

Or you could just grab Netguard from github and get adblocking for free (the store version doesn't support adblocking). https://github.com/M66B/NetGuard/releases Netguard ran fine on my old Nexus 5, without a noticeable drop in battery usage or performance, and on the Pixel, there are absolutely no changes compared to a non-Netguard version.

It worked well for me as an adblocker, but certainly ground my device (Nexus 6) to a halt regularly.

Should I expect my battery to be drained and my browser history sent to Russia? I use it on a Kindle HD 8 (not powerful by any metric) without any noticeable performance hit, it blocks the vast majority of ads but I see one or two from time to time; although they are usually sponsored content on news sites rather than banners or whatever. If you only want it to block ads in your browser, I'm pretty sure you just need the free version; the paid version blocks ads through all apps

NetGuard will block 95% of ads, and I never noticed any performance or battery problems because of it. Though, now I use my own VPN with Privoxy now.

hooah posted:FWIW NetGuard never worked all that well for me as an ad blocker. The only issue I have noticed is, if you had already tried out the version from the Play store, you need to remember to disable auto-updates on that, otherwise your manually installed version, the one with ad blocking, will be overwritten when a new version is released. This is normally not an issue, but at times the dev released new versions every other day. There are also a shitload of different settings, but you only need to do three things to enable ad-blocking: 1. Enable ad blocking by going into Settings/Advanced options/Filter traffic (switch from Off to On). 2. Download a hosts file through Settings/Backup/Download hosts file. 3. Enable the VPN in the app There is a prompt for making sure the VPN is not being optimized for battery usage. Follow those instructions (I believe they are shown when enabling the VPN) and that's it.
