Galaxy phones do have a switch that says "Auto download over Wi-Fi" under Software Updates. That's the thing, there is no way to choose auto-download on cellular. Cellular is always going to prompt to download while wifi has to option to prompt only or auto-download. You think maybe you accidently brushed against the notification and initiated the download by accident?

It doesn't seem to have eaten into my cap by much anyway, but that was still less than ideal. Out in the middle of nowhere, my phone adamant that now is the time to download a security update with seemingly no way to cancel. Ugh.

So, got the s21 ultra and set it up. Thing is absolutely massive. Coming from the iPhone, the 120 hz screen and the fingerprint sensor are super nice. Also, android has really come a long way since when I last used it in like 2014. No iMessage really sucks though, as SMS/MMS just doesn't feel up to par in this day and age. I get that Apple doesn't play nice (nor does Google- RIP windows phone), but hangouts would have been a perfect replacement.

Interesting - thanks I'll have to check those out. Would be a lot easier if Apple just had a subscription fee for iMessage and FaceTime. The amount of $$$ saving on an android phone value iPhone makes up the difference pretty easily.

You can also sync up with the Your Phone app on your computer and do your texting and stuff from there, you can in fact control the whole phone from the computer.

Does anyone know how to get around the "screenshot is disabled due to security policy" thing? I use a stock trading app that blocks it for I guess my own protection but I usually swap stuff with friends but I can't take SS's now with the latest app update ☹️

The closest thing in the android ecosystem is WhatsApp/Signal/Telegram/FB Messenger- but it's obviously not preinstalled, and different regions and groups prefer different ones. I personally like Signal - you can set as your default SMS client, and then it smoothly upgrades if you talk to another Signal user. The one complaint I've heard is that it's not great if you routinely send SMSes to groups, but I can't remember doing that the last decade.

I still don't understand Google's reason for axing Hangouts and Google Reader. 2 perfectly fine products, but apparently something wasn't right for the overlords, I'd be really curious what it was.

Use of RSS for end users peaked in like 2006 and awareness today is very low. Everyone gets their news updates from Twitter and Facebook or the curated news app on their mobile platform of choice. There may be a hardcore group of users that trade in apps and RSS is still used in a lot of machine to machine communication, but it's not surprising that Google dropped it when they did.

Google Reader died because Google wanted to move the Reader community (and their browsing) into Google+, and couldn't think of any way to convince people to use Google+ instead other than killing Reader and touting Google+ as the way forward. From the third link:quote:While Google did technically “own” Reader and could make some use of the huge amount of news and attention data flowing through it, it conflicted with their far more important Google+ strategy: they need everyone reading and sharing everything through Google+ so they can compete with Facebook for ad-targeting data, ad dollars, growth, and relevance.

I finally took a look at the SD card on my computer today, the songs still weren't there, no hidden files I could see, and the space used on the SD card seemed to match the contents. I just copied all the music back on and it's fine. So the moral of the story is I don't really know what happened or why but the issue is resolved.

But Hangouts I still don't get: they had a one-stop solution that could have rivaled iMessage, Whatsapp, FB Messenger, etc. but they tore it down, and split all of its features across several apps: SMS Messages, Allo, Duo, now Chat... Is there really such a huge benefit for them to have it split up like this?

I have a bunch of sites producing blogs, news etc. How the gently caress am I supposed to learn about them posting new content if not rss? I check my feeds daily with Inoreader. Do people, like, manually go to every page they want to follow, every day, just to check if there's something new? Or how does that work?

Nah, you're supposed to follow all of those pages on FB, IG, Twitter, etc. and then check everyone of those pages manually; the algorithm will decide what content you crave

I use a password manager (bitwarden), and far too often I have to resort to copying and pasting the username and password. Occasionally the autofill API will pop up in gboard suggesting that I have a password in bitwarden, but far more frequently nothing pops up. Is there a way to trigger this that I just don't know? On the desktop you can just click the bitwarden icon but obviously that's not a thing mobile.

My understanding from a few engineers who worked at Google, the only way to get promotions is to ship a new product or "large" feature. There's zero incentive to maintain and improve an existing product. So that's one reason every app gets it's own chat application (you forgot Google Photo chat), it's an "easy" feature to ship and get a promotion. What happens after that? Deprecate it and pretend this is a good system for users

I've been using a Pixel 5 for a while and I'm mostly happy with it, but there's one persistent issue I can't figure out. In some apps (but not all), the bottom of the screen will be unresponsive, unless I swipe up to make notifications visible. I use gesture navigation rather than the three button nav, which is definitely what's causing it, because when I switch to 3-button, it works fine. It seems to be only apps that hide the navigation by default; other apps that leave it visible work fine. What I can't figure out is if there's anything I can do to make it work, or if it's just a problem with the apps themselves. I haven't found a setting in either Android or in Nova Launcher that affects it. Am I just out of luck? In most cases it's just a minor annoyance, but I've run into one or two games that become unplayable because the navigation buttons are both along the bottom and small enough they're entirely covered by the dead zone.

I use 1Password and it integrates with Gboard so even if an app doesn't autofill (and 1PW seems particularly bad at associating apps with passwords if I'm being honest, especially compared to LastPass) then the opportunity to search 1PW is in the suggestion bar. Does Bitwarden not do this?

LastInLine posted:What does this mean? Is this some kind of shortcut you're using in Nova? It's not a feature of gesture navigation. The best I can describe it is some games "go fullscreen" and hide the nav buttons/swipe area at the bottom and the notifications bar at the top (+ bubbles like Messenger's chat heads). It doesn't seem to be a Nova feature, as it still happens when I switch back to Pixel Launcher and test it. I dunno what the behavior is specifically called or if there's a setting to tweak it anywhere, I haven't found it in poking around. It seems to be entirely in games, though to be honest I don't use my phone for too many apps other than games.  This game (Shootero), for example. Left side is normal operation, right side is after I swipe up to reveal the nav/notifications (and make the buttons more functional while they're visible). The red boxed-in area on the left side is approximately the area that's non-responsive until I swipe up or down. Some other games do it, some don't, and all of the non-game apps I regularly use (Blink, my bank's app, Awful) don't.

I think that's because "full-screen" can display over the navigation area, but it can't prevent input because if it did you wouldn't be able to leave. I think full-screen apps that do it properly hide the navigation line until you swipe up, so you can interact with that part of the screen until you do that.

I've never used that tool but if you can find one that goes into Immersive Mode (that's what that mode you're referring to is called) that'd be best. Maybe that term will help you search for others with the problem too, but personally I'm out of ideas.
