Anyone have a good up-to-date alarm clock app rec? I used to use Timely, but apparently it's so old and abandoned that it's not officially supported by Android 12.

I love the Google Calendar integration where you can tell AMDroid to scan your calendar and set an alarm ~1 hour before every event named "Work", it's a lifesaver if you live the kind of schedule you can't describe with a simple daily pattern. Maybe once a month an alarm will get created in the disabled state for inexplicable reasons but I've just learned to check for that and it's definitely in the black considering all the times it's woken me up when I forgot I needed to be. Realize Google Calendar can set a pre-event alert by itself but little touches like the fade-in volume on the alarm AMDroid offers are a huge difference. Worth paying for imo.

After a few years of using Solid Exploer it stopped extending my trial period. Does anybody have a recommendation for a free file manager app?

Speed Software Explorer is just no bullshit, no ads, free, multi tab, with smb client integrated. No complaints, not anything missing as far as my needs go. E: I guess I more accurately mean tabbed instead of multi tab Flipperwaldt fucked around with this message at 17:20 on Jul 29, 2022 |

i don't know how to check the price now but it was two bucks when i bought it. if you've been using it for years then throw them a few bucks. if you really want to be cheap you can earn that through the surveys pretty quickly

Looking it up it costs 6€ which is several years worth of surveys in my location. Anyways, I tried Total Commander and it looks good.

Absolutely, but you can just ignore / turn off all of the features you don't need. That said, I love that it can talk to my Hue lights to slowly turn them on when the alarm goes off Tamba fucked around with this message at 22:04 on Jul 29, 2022 |

Any recommendations for an app to crop and resize pictures? Also, I realized it'd be neat to get a sound alert when the phone is charging and at maybe 90% and then 100%. Does anything like that exist?

Honestly, I'm after something with less features than Google Photos. I can't remember last time I needed anything more than cropping and perhaps scaling down a screenshot or photo for posting on Discord. My ideal flow would be something like opening the app immediately gives me the 6 latest pictures on the device, pressing one immediately opens it for cropping, and pressing the Save button on that gives a list of a few options for saving at original resolution or a few predefined smaller sizes. Maybe I should just use this as an opportunity to learn to make Android apps.

I wish there were a similar app for compressing video to a target file size or resolution but all the ones I found were abysmal with ads.

A lightweight gallery app that is able to crop images and a few other goodies.

I'm looking for timers that chime every 30 seconds, for exercises/stretches and whatnot. And that I could leave on and have that continue, but also could reset easily etc. Any cool ones? Also preferably the sound isn't annoying. I've been doing mississippi seconds in my head like an animal. Ideally, for an extra fancy example, maybe I could set it to 35 seconds, have a 5 or 10 second break to get in position for the next one, then have 35 seconds go again. So I don't have to mess with it all the time.

I've been doing mississippi seconds in my head like an animal. TABATA is the search term for what you want and there are a billion of them. I use one called 'tabata timer: interval timer' and it works perfectly for what I want with custom intervals so never really looked around.

Can't figure out my problem with Android Auto since getting my 6a. It works fine on another 6a I got for someone else at launch. I've tried uninstalling the app and then updating it (since I guess you can't truly uninstall it anymore) and now the app isn't even showing on my phone, but it's supposedly installed. Tried in another car where Android Auto was working with a 6a. Phone still charges and I've used an official Google cable as well as the gas station one the other phone works fine with. So it's not the car and not the cable. I don't get the notification anymore to change how the USB reacts (which I got on the other 6a) and I've gone through the developer options to set the default to File Transfer / Android Auto, but that didn't work either.

Android Auto isn't a separate app on Pixel devices, it's integrated in with the settings and should show up if you search for it from within settings.

I can find the app under Apps in Settings, but the icon used to also be on the app folder and it's gone now. Still can't get it to actually connect to the car though. It worked when 1st got my pixel 6a and then it just stopped working while I was driving one day. Maybe 2 more times it loaded when I started the car and then stopped. Now I can't get it to recognize it at all and can only charge.

I'm not sure what you had installed, but Android Auto hasn't been an icon under the app drawer for a long time on pixel devices. Whatever goofiness that was going on there is likely the root of your issues, but I'm not sure what it is. I'm also not talking about android auto being under Apps in settings. The app itself is in settings. Connected Devices -> Connection Preferences -> Android Auto bull3964 fucked around with this message at 18:10 on Aug 11, 2022 |

I had it just stop working in my mom's Honda. There was some pop up that I hit and I could never make it connect again. Her phone was fine, mine never worked until I got a new phone. I think that was an issue with the car, not the phone, though.

Oh geeze, it IS there. I could have sworn it moved out of the app drawer when it went into settings.

It kind of seems like the app drawer icon just links to the settings menu, though (or vice versa?). So maybe you're not entirely wrong? I didn't realize it was contained within settings now. I haven't even thought about how to access on my phone in ages, I guess.

Does anybody know a way to have whatsapp (and possibly other apps) use a different notification sound while my phone is connected to my bluetooth headphones? I have it is vibrate a bit with no sound normally, but don't notice that if I have my headphones in. I want to play a ding or something through the speakers if it is connected. But, no sound if I don't wear headphones. It is a MiA2 on stock Anroid 10.

A few updates ago the Google Authenticator app made a change that I'd never thought about but seemed obvious once I saw it -- instead of displaying all your codes as soon as you open the app, they were hidden until you tapped on the item you needed. Aside from mitigating an unlikely but not quite impossible shoulder surfing attack, it was just way easier to read the code you wanted when it wasn't in the middle of a dozen other six-digit numbers. Then after an update it went back to showing them all at once. Why?
