Yeah, I deleted Weather Timeline and just got Dark Sky. I have like $18 in survey money so...total non issue there.

spincube posted:I don't understand what that feature is for in the first place - is there any advantage to turning off wifi when you start driving? Echophonic posted:My wifi still picks up in my driveway at crappy speeds, so dropping it lets Spotify pick up more quickly before I start driving. So there's that, at least. Uthor posted:I get fine service in my driveway, but I'll ask Auto for directions as I'm pulling out and need to wait a minute for the phone to switch to LTE after losing signal and finish the request. It's mildly annoying. This, plus if you connect to those "free" (free with cable subscription) wifi hotspots that your ISP/TV provider puts up in places sometimes it has a habit of connecting to them whenever you stop at a redlight. Most of those require accepting terms at a captive portal, so your phones data goes dead for the duration of the redlight. Annoying.

Vykk.Draygo posted:Hasn't Android, for several years now, checked for a valid data connection before fully connecting to a wifi signal, specifically to stop that from happening? Like, if you connect to a hotspot that requires login, it still falls back to LTE until you login and start getting data from it. I knew someone was going to bring this up. I've seen this work, but in my experience it takes a little bit of time for Android to recognize that there's no data flowing through the wifi connection. It works most of the time, but the redlight scenario like I described is one where it doesn't recognize it fast enough.

Ola posted:I've wished for but never seen that functionality. Mabye it's the cheap-o phones I buy that don't support it. I have a Pixel 2 XL, and it takes awhile to recognize and switch. It's not just a "cheap phone" thing. I'm not really sure there's a solution, I mean they could speed up the time it takes to recognize no data flow but then you might get into a situation where your phone starts ping-ponging back between the two and chewing through your battery even quicker.

BisterdDave posted:And that'll be the day I start using Spotify. The ability to upload your own music, and ad-free youtube have kept me from switching to Spotify. I've also thought about rolling my own Plex based music library since I already do that for movies but...the plex app really sucks for music. I have too much lovely metal that's not offered on Spotify/GPM that I've uploaded to GPM over the years.

I know some hotels offer "free" wifi that restricts what sites you can reach (and thus what apps work) unless you pay for it. I would double check your hotel wifi to see if this is what's going on. It's a really lovely thing to do.

Wacky Delly posted:I know this is what they're going to do, but hopefully the in car integration stuff holds it off. Android auto's UI is way better than the default. They're just getting rid of the AA app for your phone. Android Auto for your head unit will remain, and is in fact getting a pretty big upgrade this summer. spincube posted:For some reason Android Auto's been iffy for me as of late - it's pulled incorrect album artwork from Google Play Music for ages, and sometimes it'll absolutely refuse to answer to OK Google until the app is restarted. The incorrect album art is some sort of deeper underlying problem than just Play Music. I moved off of Play Music onto my own Plex server, and the same bug happens while using Plex through AA also. They definitely messed something up with the way it caches album art or something like that awhile ago and never fixed it. It'll happen across apps also. For example, if I recently listened to a station using TuneIn it'll sometimes take the art from a TuneIn station while listening to a song through Plex

Internet Explorer posted:Honestly, I'm not sure there's anything Google could do in the messaging space that could be impressive at this point. They have so completely lost the plot and are so far behind. Copy imessage, tie it to your Gmail email account. Make it an API and force your OEMs to integrate that API into their lovely stock messaging apps. Done. I have solved the great google messaging problem.

Does the Android swipe navigation play nice with third party launchers like Nova launcher now, or is that still broken? Running on a Pixel 5 with latest public Android OS if that matters.

Not all apps allow you to disable. Try a few different apps, if you see the option in other apps but not that one it might be the case.

Even Apple only has between 20-30% of the smartwatch marketshare. Ok, but are all of those watches on WearOS3? What about WearOS4? Or are half of them stuck on Tizen or old versions of WearOS that nobody cares about or bothers developing for?
