Back to Nova. Hyperion is close to as good / great in functionality, but something about its performance is really hosed up. It can lag, and hitch, I think it's even crashing sometimes and reopening. It gets stuck frequently which is beyond annoying. Hyperion makes it feel like "bad android phone" but literally none of the performance problems with Nova.

What's a good app for calls? Google Meet inconsistently reaches my mum's phone and it's driving me off the wall. I tried checking battery conservation options over the holidays to allow everything with regards to Meet but Samsung's battery options are slightly different to what I'm used to. She has a Samsung A54. Signal's and WhatsApp's voice quality are inferior. edit: I don't believe the problem is not *ringing*. I legit believe it's just not reaching the phone outright. I've gotten a bunch of the "sonar" sounding tone while calling from my phone to hers, sometimes it resolves after a while to have the normal "ringing tone". I haven't tried calling a lot from my PC to make sure it's not related to *my* phone. Dessel fucked around with this message at 17:58 on Jan 11, 2024 |

Maybe they're trying to call from a different country

I knew that was going to be smartass answer, we both specifically prefer VOIP for voice quality, and I'd rather dodge some phone bills. Also PC-to-phone calls is another failure point for connection via Bluetooth and windows' phone connectivity app whenever I might want to make the call there. Also she already has mild hearing loss so clarity matters. She has trouble understanding me on my shittier BT headphones for calls for example (so I do avoid them when possible). It was a bit of a relief realising that was the case and not my enunciation or her hearing.

I'm not sure about VOIP, although Google Voice has been fine for me the infrequent times I've used it. Maybe try Skype or Signal? Or Facebook Messenger if you both have that?

Zoom has a free option, see if you can call people with it. I know you can on the paid version - it's on be default and makes this horrific noise and a bunch of other bullshit stuff. Can you text each other and then have her call you on google meet? It's less convenient but if texting is reliable (use Signal) you can make that ding and have her google meet you back. Or zoom. Etc.

Skype works well for me. It always rings through to the other end and if someone calls me? It rings on all the devices I have Skype on.

Yeah I suggested Skype to her in case, but reinstalling Meet on both ends seem to have done the trick mostly *knocks on wood*. Might have something to do with the Duo/Meet merging, we both started on Duo instead. We actually used to use Skype, I'm not 100% why we moved away from it.

What's the best list app that works with Google Assistant (i.e. "Add apples to my shopping list", "Add laundry to my to do list") The absolute psychopaths at Google abandoned their lists platform and integrated with Google Keep

I add stuff to lists in Google keep with assistant all the time

I only recently got the "hey your lists are available in keep now!" message after months of "your lists are moving to keep", and yeah, it works fine. google keep rules. that which is dead can never die, or something.

Keep is actually a good Google product. So expect it to go away soon.

They haven't even added a chat feature to it yet so it's probably safe for a while yet.

You can collaborate on a note so you can use it as a chat already

Since the OP was last updated 4 years ago, what's a good current music player and podcast app? I'm not adverse to paying 5 bucks one time or whatever if need be. Music I just need it to play local stuff and podcast I similarly don't need anything fancy. For podcasts I've been using the default one but google is shuttering it soon I guess so might as well head that off at the pass.

I can't recommend a music player since I just use a youtube music sub.

For music, I still use PowerAmp. I don't do webcasts, so no recommendations there.

Been using PocketCasts for years for podcasts. I'm using the MediaMonkey beta, mostly because I use MediaMonkey on my PC and they sync. Not super smoothly, need to mess around with settings to set it up, but works for me.

PowerAmp/Podcast Addict here. Used to use PocketCasts but then swapped over to PA for reasons I forget.

Foobar2000 / Podcast Addict. I use Foobar2000 because I really like a little crossfeed, and it was the first Android player I found that had it. Podcast Addict because I bought it when it was cheap and it had the flexibility I wanted to control playback order and downloading.

I'll throw a suggestion in for Synfonium it shines at accessing a music server (Plex, Jellyfin, Subsonic), SMB share, or cloud storage with music on it and pulling that locally. It has folder view.

Does anyone stream audiobooks from Plex to their phone? I was using Chronicle which would allow me to stream or download directly from Plex, but it's been acting wonky and reading reviews of the app it looks like it was abandoned, so wondering if there are alternatives

# ? Jan 29, 2024 23:55 |

If you're running your own plex server then I'd just throw up an audiobookshelf container https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf There is an android app and it works well enough (caveat, I don't listen to a ton of audio books but for the little bit I used it it seemed fine. So maybe there are issues I'm not aware of. But I assume it does audiobook better than plex anyway)
