lol Well at least it'll still 'work' in the meantime. Newpipe's alright for just watching but actually having the playlist/subscription/history stuff is nice.

Haha. I only really watch stuff on my phone when cooking so I've been happy enough with just the adblock in Samsung's browser. If I could get a mobile browser with sponsor block, that would be that. I have a cheapo Android head unit in my car, it works great, but I have some issues pairing some BT devices. Specifically an OBD2 dongle and a BTLE remote control. I was hoping to use the latter as a hardware remote, as the HU only has capacitive buttons which suck when driving. But it won't pair with these, there's a weird custom UI which detects the devices, but nothing happnes when I tap them. Is there a way to bypass this and use either the normal Android bluetooth settings or some custom, 3rd party way to try to pair these?

If you're looking for a replacement for Vanced, Newpipe works great. Not sure if it has all the same killer features as Vanced does but I've been happy with it for a few years.

I like having my history, ability to comment, etc.

For ad-free and screen-off playback, NewPipe does something that Vanced doesn't: you can download stuff. (You get a range of choices: video (webm) and audio, audio only, and your choice of resolutions/bitrates and in the case of audio only, codecs (m4a/aac or opus).) For stuff you need your account for, eh just use the official app or a browser I guess. Less convenient obviously, but it's not that big of a pain to switch back and forth between apps.

The download ability was the big draw for me, as well as getting away from Google services as much as I can.

I have it running with uBlock Origin + Sponsorblock and it works great if you're okay with watching YouTube on the browser.

I could have sworn that it had the ability to just import subs from an actual account but I might be mistaking it with something else. Or I'm blind. In the settings though you can choose to have your watch history and search history saved.

You can use Google Takeout to download a JSON of your subscriptions, and NewPipe can import that.

You can do anything you want in the actual YouTube app and I guess at any point share a video to NewPipe to actually watch it. That seems vaguely cumbersome and your play history wouldn't be stored on your account, but it definitely works otherwise.

Is there an app to automatically move old pictures and videos from a phone to a computer? My dad keeps filling his phone storage regularly and he doesn't have the aptitude for connecting the phone to a computer and manually transferring the videos. It would be useful if the app could do the transfer over house wifi, the internet connection is slowish 4G.

You can set up both OneDrive and Dropbox to backup individual files when the phone is on WiFi.

I use DropBox, but I haven't noticed a feature where it would delete the files from the phone.

I'm 90% certain Google Photos does that on my phone, but I actually can't remember if it's a Pixel system level feature or Google Photos itself. I also can't find that setting now, even though I'm confident I saw it previously.

Oh yeah, it does have the "Free up device storage", but of course his Google Drive has been filled by photos since forever and he has enough money problems without adding upgrading Drive storage, I would probably need to pay it. To make this solution work conveniently it would probably need the 2TB subscription to have room for his full photo collection, I would loath to pay that much just to solve this silly problem. I might be willing to set up a Nextcloud server, but I haven't seen evidence the Android clients can do the automatic moving instead of normal syncing.

I solved the issue for my dad doing the same kind of stuff by getting the basic google one subscription. It's 1tb and $20/year. If it had cost more I'd have done some tedious bullshit with a Pixel 1 as an in-between file uploader due to the unlimited google photos uploads they have.

According to their website the $20/year plan is only 100GB. You might have got an earlier pricing tier? https://one.google.com/about

What's the best mp3 player app these days? I don't mind if I have to pay for it, I just want to set up a simple playlist. (Yes I have Spotify, but I'm thinking of exiting their ecosystem).

It has no problem accessing my NAS, and the interface is better than the desktop app would have you expect.

I use MediaMonkey because that's my main computer app and it makes sense, but it's not exactly the best Android app (a little old and not perfectly enabled). It just mostly works decently because my desktop app and phone app are the same.

Setting up playlists is a little clunky, although I might just not be doing it right. It also plays nicely with the Bluetooth car stereos I've used it on, and I can control it from my smartwatch.

I use Poweramp for local music and plexamp for (host-your-own) cloud. They both have Android Auto apps if that matters.

Thanks for the solid suggestions everyone!Pvt. Parts posted:May I ask why you wish to exit Spotify? I can't imagine going back to fiddling with downloading, organizing, and moving music. Different user case. I really only listen to the same music every day, it's also $10 less a month. My playlist is relatively small, so I'd only have to fiddle with organising once and then I'm done. Spotify was good when I listened to podcasts all day but I no longer really do that either.
