Syrinxx posted:I see Mighty Text has gone the route of Pushbullet by trying to become a lovely monthly subscription service and severely limiting the number of texts you can send as a free user. Are there any alternatives out there? You can use Join, but the apps aren't nearly as polished as PushBullet or Mightytext. It works but...they're quite ugly. Especially the Windows 10 app.

Never understood why Google didn't just make some sort of API and force OEM's to bake it into their stock messaging apps. I guess it's probably because they wanted full control of the environment for ultimate data-mining/selling of poo poo to you.

The Duggler posted:When using Android Pay, do I need to open anything before using it or is my phone just always ready to be tapped on stuff? I would like to know this too. I've been using it on the vending machine at work, and the behavior seems inconsistent. Sometimes my phone screen can be off and it works fine, other times the screen is on yet it still wants me to input my pin and tap it another time afterwards.

datajosh posted:Has anyone had any issues with e-mail notifications lately? I'm using Inbox and my wife is using Gmail and 95% of the time we won't get notifications on new e-mails coming in. Sync is on, notifications are on, I even set the apps up as "not optimized" in the battery optimization settings. Uthor posted:I routinely don't get email notifications in the morning. I'll wake up and not get any, then get an email later in the day and see emails from hours ago in the notification that I didn't know were there. It happens sometime during the day, but less often.

maltesh posted:Yeah, podcasts have to be officially submitted and approved for Google Play Podcasts, and without any sort of user rating or review process, most podcasters don't seem to promote it. Is the only thing Podcasters are getting out of it increased visibility, because they show up in GPM searches? I think GPM also rehosts the podcast files, which many podcasters don't like for various reasons.

Anyone wanna recommend an RSS reader? The Feedly app runs like a dog on my tablet for some reason, and Greader is *almost* perfect except there doesen't seem to be a way to turn auto-playing youtube videos off so every page that has a youtube video on it starts playing automatically over and over again until you scroll past it. Looks like the dev on Greader abandoned it also so there's no chance on that getting fixed

Vykk.Draygo posted:I wish Google had a live wallpaper that mimicked sunrise/sunset, so the sun would come up in the wallpaper when it does in your location, and gradually get higher, then lower, then sunset, and then maybe a moon? They sort of have this wallpaper already except it uses your battery % instead of the weather. The old Beautiful Widgets Live Weather wallpaper was awesome. They just stopped updating it years ago though. A shame.

underage at the vape shop posted:Whats better between spotify and google play music? Honestly, GPM is nice because it's "google" and has Youtube Red included, but that's really the only leg up it has on Spotify right now. Spotify has a much better UI and is just more pleasant to use, I found. I stick with GPM though because of the Youtube Red.

Wrist Watch posted:Chrome updated on my phone (MXP, so I'm still back on 6.0) and now there's a bunch of "suggested content" taking up half the screen when I open a new tab that basically mirrors the same stories I get through Google news or in google now. Is there any way to disable it? It's really obnoxious. I don't need three different ways to see the same stuff. Can't help you with the Chrome stuff, but the MXP finally got 7.0 (lol) a month or two ago so maybe you should check in on that.

As a Google music subscriber I'm really interested to see what the supposed hybrid YouTube music/Gmusic app is going to be like when it launches this spring. I love the ability to upload my own tracks to Google music and have it integrate seemlessly into my library, but my fiance just got Spotify and god drat does it feel miles ahead of Google Music in terms of features and quality of life.

Party Boat posted:Is pocketcasts still the podcast app of choice? I've used beyondpod for like ten years and until recently it's always worked well enough but it's started being really inconsistent about downloading metadata. As far as I can tell development on it is virtually abandoned so I'm open to a switch. NPR bought Pocketcasts. PocketCasts is a great app, but I'm not really sure it'll have the hardcore filtering and playlist features you're looking for - it's not really that type of app.

zer0spunk posted:I wish they'd notify you of this stuff...just give me a heads up that things are expiring instead of vanishing them out of playlists and hoping I'll notice 3 songs out of 400 are missing and buy them. The caveat of streaming I suppose..just don't hide it from me. I believe Spotify greys the songs out, which is definitely a better way of handling it because at least you can see what's not available.

Uthor posted:Anyone using Cricket, maybe only on Pie with a Pixel? My visual voicemail app isn't pulling up new messages, just flashing "no connectivity" at the bottom at a rapid rate. Dunno if it's because of Pie or the service itself being screwy. The Visual Voicemail app for Cricket has been messed up for quite some time. I've had what you're describing for about two or three months now. I gave up awhile back and just use voicemail the old fashioned way People have been complaining about it on Howard Forums for awhile now. It was messed up when my pixel 2 XL was on 8.1, still messed up on 9.

hooah posted:Pushbullet has gotten more and more flaky for me over the last year or so and their support seems to be nonexistent. What's the next best thing for SMS mirroring to a computer? I use Textra so the web Messages is out. I tried Join two or three years ago and it was a bit of a faff to keep everything signed in properly. I used to use MightyText; can't remember why I stopped anymore. You probably stopped using MightyText because they changed their payment model and it stopped being worth it for a lot of people. I've been using the Phone features built into the Windows 10 October 1809 update. I grabbed the update before Microsoft pulled it to fix (lol) but it works well. Only thing is it doesent show MMS.
