I think I had it set to a smaller frog than is the new default I guess if that icon option was removed that would explain why it vanished

Kindle Fire update rules, thanks -

also I noticed something I appreciate: this app muscles through a lovely connection like almost none other

my residential internet's been out for a few weeks, and I've been tethering to the 1-2 bars of cell connection I can get in this apartment. Embedded tweets take a few seconds to show up sometimes but it's better than the twitter app's minute or so, when it doesn't just give up

I just got the beta update. It seems cool so far buuuut...

I clicked the play icon on a webm? and it has sound on by default. I swear it used to mute by default. Am I crazy? I can't find a setting for it.

While they're definitely both not muted, do you have video autoplay turned on in the embedding settings ?

Ah yes I had, but I never touched that setting so maybe it's on by default?

Also, it says it plays when videos are "in view" and I noticed when loading a page it first shows the top of the page for a split second, then jumps down to the last post. The video in question was at the top of the page. Maybe that short moment triggers the autoplay.
Just a thought.

In my case I pressed the play button (I already have autoplay off). I was just not expecting it to make noise. Am I crazy or did these used to be muted by default?

I know youtube and twitter vids defaulted to having sound on but I don't remember other embeds being that way.

While I am at it, I guess there is no way to have an option for *all* embeds to default to muted? Or is there some android-way for me to mute the app completely? Putting the phone into silent mode prevents rings and notification sounds but (obviously?) does not prevent sound when the user explicitly plays some media...

There's no stock way to do it as far as I know but several apps on the play store will allow you to control the volume of individual apps.

Don't; there is a lot of the app's customization that's buried a few layers down and not obvious to new (or sometimes experienced) users.

Yeah, one thing to learn about Android (though this is improving) is that there's generally a bunch of useful ways to customize things buried in settings menus

Well, goons, it looks like our time using Awful to read the SomethingAwful.com forums is over.

The Play Store description says it's now a browser for https://www.somethingisawful.com

If you have a launcher that supports customizing icons, like Nova, then I got you.

Uhhh, I'm pretty sure that's been in the app description since, like, 2011? This is the oldest I can find

If you have nova launcher you can also tell it to use legacy icons
