So does Google Books kind of suck and not deal with footnotes well/at all? Because that is my current experience. I bought the new Terry Pratchett, and as fans know, footnotes are like half the experience. e: Well I'm convinced the GB app is crap but I think I'm a big fan of the service. Just went on to the website, I didn't even realize that it would let me download it as an epub that I was then able to load onto my Sony Reader. Pretty sweet.

Jewce posted:Right now I use google voice and the chrome extension to send/receive texts on my desktop at work. However, I'm getting tired of the fact that GV doesn't integrate with my phone deeply enough to show notifications on my lock screen and poo poo. Not actually answering your question directly, but I use WidgetLocker and the Google Voice widget to do exactly that - show GV texts and missed calls on my lock screen. You can even flip through them.

Is there any difference between Opera Mini and Opera Mobile besides the name and the install size?

Install Gentoo posted:Opera Mini runs everything through Opera's servers to reformat them, and runs on most lovely featurephones as well as smartphones. Opera Mobile is a full browser that doesn't rely on Opera's servers. Ahhh, I see. Opera Mobile has an option for "Opera Turbo," which I guess is the only option in Opera Mini. rotaryfun posted:How is it as a wallpaper?

I'm trying out ADW EX - did they remove the ability to swipe sideways to different catalogs from regular ADW? As far as I can tell, the only way to choose a different one is by Menu -> Choose Group. (Also, what the hell - groups or catalogs, which is it?)

AlexMoron posted:Yeah. It's the most annoying poo poo ever and the ONLY thing that bothers me about the EX version over the older one. You have to manually add each and every app you want in that group as you get it. I really wish they'd just kept that as it was in the non-EX version and not hosed it up. What the hell. I love how much snappier EX is, but not being able to categorize my apps and then actually easily navigate those categories is a dealbreaker.

I'd really like to use Emit, but I've never gotten it to work. Running it on a MacBook Pro with 10.7.2, and neither my Touchpad or my Atrix (both on CM7) will stream video. It just fails and says "Something went wrong!"

LastInLine posted:Just a guess here as I've never used Emit but I'm willing to wager it's because of Lion's janky SMB implementation. I never could get it to work properly with my phones (although some registry tweaks got it to work with Windows 7) and finally I ripped out Lion's SMB and installed Samba3. After that I've no problems connecting to my MBA. Huh, I never thought about that. I've got samba installed, how did you go about stripping out Lion's smb stuff?

Boywunda posted:Try this - On your device in Emit, Settings - Uncheck HTTP live streaming. This seems to make my Atrix much happier! No more mysterious errors. I just have to figure out why it's squeezing video into a forced 4:3 resolution... LastInLine posted:This whole thread was the most complete resource I found when I did it, with this post in particular showing how to disable the Apple SMB daemon and have the Samba3 daemon launch instead. Thanks for the links! It doesn't seem to have made a difference in streaming, sadly, but it'll probably be a tweak I'll be happy for down the road.

I've only used it a bit around rural Pennsylvania but it was pretty good

Is the new style just the black Action Bar? Because I was really hoping for an actual Tablet UI like Gmail has, with Voicemails, Texts, Starred items etc in a column on the left, then you could have a threaded conversation column...I've got to stop dreaming, huh.

DrBouvenstein posted:I'm seriously considering ditching Google Voice as my primary texting app... If you're using a phone, you can go into the preferences and choose to also receive texts with the Messaging app. It basically means you get to bypass 90% of GV's weaknesses. You can always switch back to the app if you want/have to send something by wifi, but the cellular forwarding thing - whatever it is, however it works - just seems to work better.

kitten smoothie posted:So if you do this do all outbound texts come from your GV number? No, contacts aren't matched - which is stupid, since the whole thing is managed by Google and it should know better. If you text the "magic" number it provides you with, though, doesn't it come up as being sent from your GV number? I switch back and forth and haven't heard reports of weirdness from people. It's still not ideal, I'll admit, but sending SMS messages is so much more reliable than using the official app.

Doctor rear end in a top hat posted:Isn't this what the unified privacy policy is supposed to accomplish? Google really ought to tie all their crap up in a nice little package. One Google account has all this crazy stuff, email, messaging, social networking, phone/texts, printing, but it's all different platforms that at best acknowledge each other's existences. Why they don't want these platforms under one roof I don't know, but that leaked G+ blog post from a while back made it sound like they just suck at leveraging platforms.

I'm not sure I've seen it mentioned in the thread before, but I want to heavily recommend Skifta as a DLNA/UPnP streaming app. I was looking for something that would let me stream video from one android device to another (first world problems) and found this. The interface is good if a bit ugly, but it has a great Just Works™ factor. It also has a Mac and PC client, and with basically no configuration or worry I've got media streaming from phone to tablet, tablet to phone, and Mac to everything. It's really nice!

Stevie Lee posted:The Spotify app has been poo poo since an update a couple months ago. If you add a song to a playlist (including starring a song), the app will crash about 95% of the time. If you are just listening to playlists you've already made, or playing songs through the search function, the app will barely ever crash. I'm guessing this is her problem. I'm using an Evo 3D, but I think this problem affects all Android devices. The biggest way Spotify pisses me off is that like 80% of the time it insists that I'm offline. NO I'M NOT. Sometimes I can log out and back in and that works, sometimes I have to reinstall the goddamned thing.

big mean giraffe posted:Just setup dropbox, the official app won't sync them onto your phone but you can download the latest version from your desktop, and then upload it back when you're done. There are third-party dropbox supporting apps that will sync both ways but I don't use one so someone else will have to recommend one if that's not easy enough for ya. If you use Dropbox's Experimental forum build, you can Favorite files and they'll download locally and update to reflect changes.
