Speaking of Pocket Casts I now have two entries for it in my app drawer. I'm using Nova but it's there in the Pixel launcher too. I'd uninstall/reinstall but I don't want to redownload a podcast I have fifty eps saved up on.

Hi Thread, I use Regularly to get reminders to do things on a regular basis, like replacing air filters, checking oil levels and stuff like that. Regularly's main functionality is perfect, it reminds you daily, of things that are now due, it reminds you again until you do them, and records when you actually marked them as done so you have a history. The only thing that is sorely missing from that app that was literally last updated half a decade ago, are (cloud) backups and a way to share tasks with others. I have tried to find similar software, but have not found anything that was as focused on this particular niche, and wasn't a huge bloated mess of an app. Do you know of anything that would fit the my needs?

Am I crazy or does the new Pocket Casts not have a cast button? e: Closed it and opened it and it came back. e2: Update today fixed the duplicate entries in the app drawer.

Why does the Twitter app force me to press back and go through all the individual tweets I've looked at before it gives me the ability to go to the home page? I usually end up closing and reopening the app to get there because it's faster. Am I just dumb or is there really no better way? e: and yes I've purchased both Fenix and flamingo but don't care for either of them Stevie Lee fucked around with this message at 00:56 on Nov 21, 2018 |

So does anyone know a call screening app that does things like the really neat Pixel call screening thing? It sounds cool since I've been getting a ton of calls lately for some ungodly reason.

Crossposting from Android Thread since I believe this was talked about here too 9to5google is getting called out for shoddy reporting by a Googler on the Hangouts team for sensationalizing the Hangouts shutdown and throwing out dates that were never confirmed. https://twitter.com/happyinwater/status/1068861340800958466?s=09

Got the Auto update. I noticed when I tap to view my current playing playlist in Google Play Music in my car, it takes me to the beginning of the list instead of the currently playing track. Since my now playing queue is really long, it locks me out from scrolling to the current track. It works fine when I'm just running the app on my phone.

So they shut down Groove, and I'm looking for an alternative. All I want is to play music from my desktop library on my phone. I took a look at Google Play Music which got mentioned in the OP, but it seems like you have to pay either way?

No, you can upload your personal library to Google's cloud and playback for free. Amazon has (had?) something similar. Or you can manually sync your phone and your desktop. I'm sure there's a lot of services that could do that. I know MediaMonkey has one.

Things like Subsonic/Airsonic have apps as well as something that you can use a browser for when at other computers. I use Airsonic since I'm a cheap bastard.

Unless it's hiding behind one of the thousand similar-looking links on their site. I know every effort I've made to add custom songs to my Christmas playlist for Alexa has been in vain.

So, take this with a grain of salt considering the inaccurate Hangouts report mentioned within this very article, but supposedly, based on "a reliable source"... Google Allo will be shutting down soon. If true: lol

Why is google messaging a total dumpster fire in tyool 2018? I have an idea google. Shitcan everything and make one (1) good app. Maybe call it, oh, I dunno, gchat. j/k, just call it gmessage. Make gmessage-gmessage bubbles orange and texts to iPhones grey. Make it baked-in to Android, and make it fallback gracefully to RCS, or SMS if gmessage and RCS are unavailable. Make a desktop app that lets you gmessage from a computer. Give it a .gif library (and AR emoji if you absolutely have to). Don't abandon it after 12 months. There, I solved messaging for you. I take payment by venmo (get it, because your venmo clone is also a dumpster fire)

But messages literally does all of that now except for I guess the gif library which is basically in most keyboards by default and on pc you can just dig up your desired gif.

couldcareless posted:But messages literally does all of that now except for I guess the gif library which is basically in most keyboards by default and on pc you can just dig up your desired gif. I admit it's been a hot minute since I looked at the messages app (it was a trash fire, and I'm on fi so there was no reason to use it over Hangouts), but last I checked there wasn't a standalone app (that's not tethered to your phone) for desk/lap tops like there is for Hangouts, is that not still the case? Also, looking at it now it seems to use SMS for everything and that's a massive pain for group chats etc. Hangouts lets you know when someone is online and will use data to send hangouts-hangouts messages like iMessage does. It also has iMessage like features as a result, like read receipts and typing indicators that SMS lacks. It does seem to have integrated some of the better features of Hangouts (location share, gif library) and added some compelling new ones (integrated google pay) that it didn't use to have, so that's nice to see. I admit that these responses are gonna make me take another look at the messages app, but I don't think me describing Google's approach to chat and messaging on a platform they control as a hot mess makes me a "weirdo", it's not a particularly novel or controversial position SuperiorColliculus fucked around with this message at 02:55 on Dec 6, 2018 |

I messaged my wife with messages to see what would happen  Apparently it's cool and good to split messages from the same contact but a different chat app into two threads? This is what I'm talking about. It seems to me that they have the bones of a good app in messages, now all they have to do is kill all their other, competing messaging apps and integrate their feature sets into messages. At which point, you've recreated Hangouts on fi. SuperiorColliculus fucked around with this message at 03:46 on Dec 6, 2018 |

Google Allo will be shutting down soon. I just want them to buy out Cisco, and awkwardly kludge both Duos together into a tragic remote video 2FA helpdesk experience. And then they keep and tweak G Authenticator, just because. The future is bothering some Google intern to reset maybe a third of my 5-part 2-tier login/auth super combo. Then my account will lock because I failed to convince a fellow human that I wasn't a deep-fake phishing attempt.

rivetz posted:I've wrestled intermittently with this on and off for years (via Subsonic and other services), but caved in and just dumped everything to Google Play Music a few months ago and am generally glad that I did. Only major drawback I've encountered is Shuffle doesn't accommodate larger libraries well and invariably picks from the thousand or so tracks in the alphabetic vicinity of your first selection, i.e. start with the first track in your whole library and every successive track's title will begin with the letter A. Other than that, it's convenient, desktop interface is excellent, mobile app is not as good but still OK. You can upload 50,000 tracks for free; I have a library about that size and virtually nothing was horked/miscategorized/etc in the upload process. Join-the-club nagware to become a paid subscriber is minimal, maybe one "Subscribe | No Thanks" box a day or so. All things told, recommended. I'm trying to upload my music library, but it keeps saying it can't establish a secure connection. I turned off my Windows Firewall and BitDefender. Holy poo poo, this is annoying.
