hooah posted:Oh, fantastic. I knew when I got the phone in May that it was an issue with 5.0, but didn't know it was Motorola as well as (at the time) Android. At least in a year I should be out of school and have a job so I can afford a new phone? You can force Android to keep apps resident if you're rooted. I use an Xposed module called App Settings for it.

Dracula Factory posted:My HTC one is about to kick the bucket, and it's always been just a little too big for me to use one-handed. So I'm looking for a smaller phone and there seems to be slim pickings these days with all the phablets around. The Xperia z3 compact is looking like my best bet, but I would have to but that unlocked. Are there any good smaller phones on AT&T now or in the near future? The Z3C is as good as it gets at that screen size bracket. The 2013 Moto X and Nexus 5 are the only other small devices worth considering, but they're even older than the Z3C, which is no spring chicken itself. No matter what, you're probably not going to find one that you can buy through a carrier subsidy.

TraderStav posted:5.1.1 on the Z3c did NOT fix the audio pausing, but did improve it. The phone doesn't seem to suffer from the lag it had before but the pausing continues. No, my headphone jack does not have lint in it. Strange thing is, it almost feels like it's tied to the accelerometer. If I stop, accelerate, or turn sharply I can nearly guarantee it to pause. Is there a linkage between the two similar to how audio pauses when you pull out a set of headphones? Bear with me while I spitball for a bit. Could a short in the headphone cable be causing it? In the settings for your media player of choice, look for an option to automatically pause when headphones are disconnected, and see if disabling it fixes your issue. Also, try connecting to a BT headset, preferably one with good reception, to see if the issue is something hardware related, like the headphone port's connection to the mobo, or software, like horrendous memory management/a random bug or something. Good luck Z3C buddy.

The Modern Leper posted:Does anyone still use a music manager to sync with their phone? I'm thinking of switching back to an Android after two years, but I have an 8,000 track music library and have come to depend on iTunes's smart playlists to manage them without a lot of manual intervention. I need something on the desktop and phone side that can: Media Monkey can wirelessly sync between its Windows and Android versions. It can easily do the first requirement, but it can only make 'and' or 'or' playlists, so you'll have to gently caress with it to get it to do exactly what you want. Edit:^^^That^^^ should've read like this: Make 1 playlist with your second two conditions as a "Match either of the following conditions", then have the 2nd playlist set to match all conditions, and have it just pull off of the first playlist and also match your first condition. I'm smart - S M R T. Of course, you could also do the double twist route. I haven't ever used it, so I can't advise of how well it works or not, but it is definitely still A Thing. I'd imagine that it breaks every time you update iTunes without updating it along side. A third option would be to use Media Monkey as a dumb pipe to just track your play counts on your phone, then sync all of your played counts back to the computer, then pull up iTunes to do the heavy lifting.

Odobenidae posted:Does anyone know what could be causing my Galaxy S4 to freeze almost every time I open an app? It can be any app, it's happened with every one I've tried to use since this started. Some will work until they get to something like a .gif that will trigger a freeze. Even lowering/raising the volume will freeze the phone unless i'm lucky. I can't use the touchscreen or back/settings buttons when it's frozen, my only input is to mash the home button until It goes back to the homescreen and tells me that the app has crashed. You can try a factory restore, but it's probably caused by the S4 not having the horsepower to run Lollipop. I hope you're upgrade eligible either now or soon.

The partial StageFright fix in .580 was extracted from the actual release and packed into a flashable zip, but it doesn't fix the vulnerability completely so who gives a gently caress. I also read that the .200 release is actually a step backwards, with 0/6 patched, but a bunch of other unrelated bug fixes. "Source": http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3177351

TollTheHounds posted:The camera app matters too though I think. I have a Z2 which I bought at the time ( when it was first released ) because I figured they ( Sony ) make all the sensors so they must have the best pictures right? I suppose might have an older module, but unless I'm taking a standing-still full daylight picture, the picture quality is rear end using Auto ( point and shoot ) settings. I agree with the entirety of this, but would like to add that when and if Camera2.apk is ever implemented, this would become a thing of the past.

loquacius posted:Hey, longtime Windows Phone user here, just got an Android phone for the first time and I have a question about playlists. There are a bunch of different ways to do this, but I wouldn't say that any of them are particularly easy. The problem you're having is probably caused by the app(s) either not being able to access the location of the new playlist, or not being able to read the format that it's in. I recommend syncing an .M3U, and you should definitely not be using Winamp to do it. It hasn't been supported since 2013. Even when you're able to move the playlist over and have it be seen by the media app, you're probably going to find that it's empty, because the playlist was copied over with references that use your file path structure on your computer. I recommend MediaMonkey for Android and Windows for this. It's a giant pain in the rear end to get syncing properly, but once you've figured your way around the original fuckups, it should be able to sync (wirelessly!) without problem. I've got a library that no longer comfortably fits on 64GB SD cards, and I can wirelessly sync anything without issue now.

The intent handling on Android has been garbage for as long as I've had Android devices, probably forever. It can be 99% eliminated with a couple root apps, though.

Astrotrain posted:Doesn't using digital output for headphones necessitate a DAC to be integrated into the headphones? That seems lovely That is exactly right. Having the DAC be on the headphones will either inflate the cost of the good ones, or make the cheap ones even shittier. Not to mention making analog cans obsolete without external DACs, with the same problems on top. You could go Bluetooth, and most would. The downside for that is the same as it ever was. Namely, 2 steps of sound quality degradation, possibly flaky connection, and having to charge. Given that the only thing you gain is a millimeter or two of thickness for the trade off, it doesn't make too much sense to me.

SwissCM posted:Basically every phone post-jellybean supports USB Audio DACs over USB-OTG already. You can get pretty tiny ones for super cheap. I don't think losing the 3.5mm audio output on a phone would be a big deal. While you're right about the 3.5mm going away not being a big deal, I'd still rather keep the DAC on the phone. I can't hear a difference between FLAC and 320k MP3, but I'd imagine that I'd still be able to tell the difference between an onboard DAC and a cheap external one.

Whizbang posted:Because if your use case requires 130+ gb of storage on your phone, your use case is stupid. Put all your music in the cloud! Not on a plan with unlimited streaming? Get on one! Don't live in an area where it's supported? Move to one! There are tons of reasons one could use to justify not needing ridiculous amounts of storage. It still boils down to different people needing different things, which sane people typically understand. What I don't get is why it's so important for the ~IYG SD CREW~ to come out of the loving woodwork every time it's brought up to let us all know how the only possible use for big SD cards is giant anime collections. You sound just like Cremnob. Only instead of preaching the Apple gospel, it's the cloud. Ditto for RZA and his weird anti-root fetish.

Is there any way to turn that off? If you're rooted, Autostarts by Michael Elsdorfer (on the Play store) can deny the media key pressed event to any app you like, so you can just keep anything from happening that way.
