Require More Fire posted:Podcasts in Google Play Music is going live. It's already up on the web side, and it's rolling out on the app side (to US and Canada). https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2016/04/welcome-to-google-play-music-podcast.html Hmm, I wonder if it will properly handle resuming a track if you play a song or something. I've tried to use Music for audiobook files, but it kinda sucks because you have to keep track of where you are in the chapter if you want to play something else before you're done.

Atomicated posted:I skipped to the half way point in a podcast and hit reload and when I got back it seemed to remember where I was so it seems like it. My concern was if you listened to half a podcast episode, then wanted to listen to music for a bit, then went back to the podcast. Would it start the podcast over or would it remember where you were? Seeing that podcasts are broken into their own section makes me think it won't be an issue though. But, this being a day 1 Google release, I wouldn't be surprised either way...

She neither owned soap nor used it for months at a time believing that it was impossible to require it if you simply avoided dirt itself. Wait, are you trying to say this ISN'T how it works?

The Ferret King posted:Did removable media kill your parents? People frequently post about issues with SD cards (card failure, things getting hosed when you move data to them, etc) and most all of those issues could have been avoided by buying a phone with enough internal storage, like Endless Mike suggested. I understand that I might be an outlier since I can stream everything without worrying about data caps, but I'll never go back to using an SD card.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/06/16/new-skiftkey-beta/ They just added a clipboard manager to SwiftKey Beta and I already think it's a great feature. Being able to pin something that you say a lot then copy it to your clipboard quickly is really nifty. Plus, it'll be even better when paired with PushBullet's universal copy/paste (which I initially thought would be useless, but I find myself using constantly).

Agoat posted:If they give it SMS support it will be a direct upgrade to any other app. An actual all in one messenger with extra features would be great. WhatsApp and the others only work if everyone gets the app, making it useless for me. If Allo does SMS, I'll probably switch to it immediately because the handful of people I talk to via Hangout messages would also gladly switch. I just want one app that handles both, which is why I use Hangouts. If Google stands behind Allo more than they did Hangouts (fat loving chance, I know), then I'll use it.

The only issue I have with Hangouts is that, since the last update, it refuses to display contact photos in the message thread. It'll show them in the conversation list, but not in the messages themselves. Still, my communications are 50/50 between Hangout messages and SMS, so I'm not switching apps just over that.

I just love Google's insistence on splitting things into single purpose apps. Why use Hangouts for data messaging, SMS/MMS, and video calls when you could use Messenger for SMS/MMS, Allo for data messaging, and Duo for video calls? Or when they removed functionality from Drive and made you install apps like Sheets, Slides, Forms, and Docs which then tie back into Drive anyway. I'm sure it has to do with ease of maintaining the apps, but goddamn.

What the gently caress is up with the way the latest Gmail update handles notifications? Now when you delete an email from the notification it repeats it or some poo poo, so you briefly get a second notification in addition to the one that says deleted. Not only is it annoying on its own, it fucks up the ability to interact with them via Pushbullet.

actionjackson posted:Is there an as app that does screen brightness adjustments like f.lux but doesn't cause problems with the screen overlay? I can't use twilight because of that. Try Lightflow and use the Use Alternative Overlay option. Not sure it'll work for you, but it's worth a shot (it's also a really good app). I know that most apps that use an overlay gently caress up your ability to install apps (at least without disabling said overlaying app first), but I don't have any such issues, so maybe it'll for what you're doing.

No, Strava isn't a pedometer. You can track how far and fast you walked, but it doesn't run in the background and count steps. That said, I use it daily to track my commute (by bike) because I like seeing if I can beat my best times and it's far from the biggest battery drain in my life. I can't say I've ever noticed it being in the top battery use unless I'm doing a 3+ hr ride.

LastInLine posted:What bugs are you all seeing? Hangouts works great for me. If I have someone on G+, it overrides the photo I've set (all five or six people in my life that have G+). All the images are correct in the Contacts app and online. And clicking their blank contact icon opens their contact card, complete with photo. deong has this same behavior. We bitch about it twice a week or so.

I've always had a really good experience with the parking card and I didn't start using a BT stereo until very recently. Maybe I'm just lucky. That said, I would like the ability to quickly drop a pin to mark where I parked.

I once got a survey while in a theater. The questions asked when the last time I saw a movie in theaters. One of the answers was, "I'm at the theater now." Like, drat, Google, be cool. At least pretend you aren't tracking me in real time. (to be fair, I see a lot of movies. Also, it was still in the pre-preview part where the lights are still up and they're just playing normal advertisements, before anyone thinks I was on my phone during a movie)
