I discovered that the Your Phone app in Windows will still let me text from PC. Messages for web relies on the android SMS app but this doesn't. May still be able to text on messages for web but it wont show recent conversations

Any suggestions for an ebook reader app that can connect to a Calibre library? I'm trying to replace Play Books, so something that can 'pin' books to read later would be a great help.

For the love of God Google, stop trying to push YouTube Kids on me. What use is your data mining if you don't know I don't have kids by now.

Is there any way to log into Podcasts on Pocketcasts? I have a few paid podcasts that I can add but it doesn't give me an option to log in and then it won't play. I need to listen to 3 hour wrestling podcasts on my horrible commute every day.

It supports Podcast addict and one other app I can't remember and that's pretty much it.

Have you tried adding it manually with the username and password in the address as per the instructions here: https://support.pocketcasts.com/article/password-protected-podcasts/ That's how I had to do it for my premium podcasts. Edit: Oh, looks like the procedure has changed a since I added them, but hopefully the above works! GigaFuzz fucked around with this message at 15:49 on Sep 6, 2019 |

So I've been using AlarmDroid for years and years, with the main features I liked about it being it have a simple option on the main screen to skip the next alarm event and that it had a simple interface that didn't waste screen space with gaudy effects. But upgrading to Android 10 completely breaks its ability to actually make any sound or vibration when the alarm rings, and the app turns out to have been kicked off the app store a few months ago because Google didn't like how the free version implemented the ad banner. So I have little hope of it ever being fixed, and even if it is I'm not going to rely on scrounging updates manually. What's a good replacement app that has a quick "skip next alarm" feature? This is what the interface looked like:

I use alarm clock xtreme, and it has that on the long-press menu. I like it for its large snooze button and the ability to set up math for dismiss because I have had too many instances of running late for work thanks to "I thought I hit snooze but it was dismiss". Can't speak to how its ads are, as I use blokada on my system to get rid of them.

Answering my own question, in case it helps anyone: I've found FBReader useful, after setting up COPS to act as a 'feed'. It's not as neat as Play Books - of course - as rather than simply browsing your entire library and 'pinning' books to read, the idea is FBReader talks to COPS, to then download books from your Calibre library onto your phone. So, no synced progress/bookmarks/notes etc, but it's functional enough.

Is there a way to make PowerAmp not automatically resume the last song I was playing, or not start up automatically in general, when I plug something into a headphone jack? My personal vehicle has Bluetooth, which doesn't make PowerAmp automatically launch, but my work car has an AUX jack and when I plug that in PowerAmp automatically starts playing the last song I was listening to. But when I'm driving I generally prefer to do audiobooks or podcasts.

Yes, turn off "resume on wired headset" in the headset/Bluetooth settings.

I don't know what the fancy kids use but I reccomend VLC on the grounds that it will play literally any movie file you shove into it. Never try to install a loving codec from weird websites again! Also I poked around a little and MX Player Pro version doesn't mention these coins. I don't know if that's worse or not.

Pocket Casts goes freemiumquote:The iOS app was most recently priced at $5.99 while the Android app was marked at $3.99. Starting today, new users will pay nothing to download the app. In exchange for zeroing out the upfront cost, the company is introducing Pocket Casts Plus, a subscription service costing either 99 cents a month or $10 a year.

They're going to get a ton of blowback for this, their website clearly stated that they would always be a one time purchase with no subscription fees.

hot date tonight! posted:They're going to get a ton of blowback for this, their website clearly stated that they would always be a one time purchase with no subscription fees. Yes but you see they're not adding fees they're just adding a new plus tier above which just happens to have features the old purchase version had like adding your own files.

Seems fine to me. $10/year I'm sure I'll pay out of survey money and that's only if you want the web player, all other features are free. I do question their logic on the change as a paid app "not being in the spirit of public radio" when they're owned by WBEZ, WNYC, and This American Life and TAL charges $6 for their terrible app. MikeJF posted:Yes but you see they're not adding fees they're just adding a new plus tier above which just happens to have features the old purchase version had like adding your own files. The old version did not offer cloud storage for arbitrary files. ClassActionFursuit fucked around with this message at 13:27 on Sep 18, 2019 |

Yes. I don't know if you can link VLC to your share and open through the app, but I browse for videos in Solid Explorer and when I play them, they open in VLC. Edit: there is a button for "local network" in the VLC menu.
