I probably wouldn't have bought a Youtube Red subscription on its own, but Google Music is the best $10 ($15 now because family plan) a month I've ever spent, and I'm certainly not complaining about ad-free Youtube videos on top of it.

I'm looking for a good 'remind me to do a thing once an hour' app. It would need to be restricted to certain times of day and days of the week, I'd want to be able to dismiss individual instances without affecting future reminders, and I'm hoping for a more elegant solution than just setting twenty different alarms. Not averse to paying a couple bucks (well, surveybucks) for something good.

flatluigi posted:What's a good weather app, preferably one with radar? I was using the Weather Underground app but the notification frequently stops updating for long periods of time I've been using Weather Timeline for about a year and I love it. I don't use its radar feature much but I did just fire it up and it seems radary enough I guess.

Helicon One posted:I thought there might be legal tripwires with trying to implement something like what I was hoping for. I'm less familiar with Amazon's service, but Google Play Music will let you upload your own audio (up to something absurd like 50,000 tracks) to their cloud for free (without subscribing), yeah. It's not dependent on it being already in their library. If you do subscribe, you would gain streaming access (including the ability to pin stuff to your phone for offline listening) to their whole library, which would save you the trouble of uploading your own music in a lot of cases, though I'm not aware of a way of automating the process of adding all the CDs you already own to your music library. I'm kind of a hard sell on monthly subscriptions, but I can't think of an entertainment purchase I've gotten more use of in the last couple of years than my Google Play subscription. Maybe Netflix. MAYBE.

Mak0rz posted:Not necessarily vouchers, but I can buy music directly with the Play credits. Neat! I have about $12 to burn so I might be able to get an album. If you've bought the music, you can download it up to twice, I think (or an unlimited number of times if you grab your whole library, or something, I'm not clear on the details).

Finally, a "which of the following places have you visited recently" Google Rewards survey where I can truthfully answer something other than "none of the above". (Which are kind of my $0.10 at a time survey bread and butter.) Granted, I only was passing through the place in question (a hotel) because I was in in the skyway in downtown Minneapolis and I took the hotel elevator to ground level. BUT I WAS THERE DAMMIT. I left a nice review of the elevator. Unrelated: I need to figure what to spend my $15 in surveybucks on, though I think I've still got a while before they expire. (Well less than a year since the oldest stuff has accumulated.) Already got paid versions of Nova Launcher, Weather Timeline, Pocketcasts, Fenix, etc. Maybe I'll buy a movie.

Already got a Google Play Music/Youtube Red family plan subscription, but yeah, might be worth saving a month of payments that way. (...actually, I'm not sure I can, because with sales tax it comes to slightly more than my balance and I don't know if you can split payment methods.) I don't know if I'd really miss Youtube Red if it were gone (though ad-free videos are nice), and I doubt I'd pay for it separately, but Google Play Music is well worth the money on its own.

I'm not familiar at all with European money laundering law but identity verification for any kind of transaction account in your name is routine (and routinely required) in the US. Normally it's pretty invisible to the customer, though; they check the info you used to register the account against public records and that's the end of it. The ID docs route is usually a last resort in my experience, and a huge pain in the rear end for all concerned. Trust me, Google is as frustrated at needing to collect documents from you as you are at sending them.

Unless I missed a new development, it used to be that way. I can't root my S7 Edge Yeah, as far as I know, you can't. You can map Google Now to a gesture but a left swipe isn't one of the available ones.

YeahTubaMike posted:It'll be like "Nova Launcher is not responding" so I close the app, turn off my phone, and turn it back on. That is odd, because I have the same phone and I've not had anything like this going on. You said earlier that you installed a lot of apps as part of some kind of bundle? My guess is something is conflicting with the launcher somehow, though damned if I know what it could be. Your best bet is to probably go the tedious route of uninstalling every app but the essential stuff (or maybe just factory resetting though that might be a tad extreme) and then reinstall things a few at a time and see if you notice problems.

YeahTubaMike posted:I haven't done anything particularly unusual with Chrome. Browsing Facebook, watching the occasional video, reading the occasional article -- maybe the ads were slowing it down, I don't know. Either way Firefox is working fine so I'm not too worried. It almost sounds like something's kicking Nova out of memory but that shouldn't be happening on a 4-gig G5+. This may be my Skyrim modding battle scars talking, but I do think your best bet is to uninstall everything and reinstall essential (and then nonessential) stuff a few pieces at a time and see if/when it starts happening.

This is a longshot I suspect, but is there any way to keep wifi from connecting without a minimum signal strength or something (without hand-curating networks several times a day or toggling wifi off every time it happens)? Astonishingly, the 1 bar I get on my home router from across the street some days is not super useful, nor is connecting to the wifi on the bus that's passing the bus I'm actually on.

Weather Timeline's built-in radar seems all right. I also use Raindar sometimes, I have no idea whether it's better or worse than anything else, but it does the job.

LastInLine posted:I'm in the 'burbs so I don't think it's so much rural/urban as "go places". If you go places often and Google's tracking you, you're going to get some surveys, especially once you happen across a place that has a promotion going (for years it would trigger when I went to Bedubs which I did every Tuesday but that stopped about a year ago--both Wing Tuesdays and the promotion). I think Walgreen's does some occasionally. I used to get a lot of "did you go to this store" surveys based on whatever businesses my bus drove past on any given day but for some reason all my surveys shifted over to the old SIMless phone I use to watch videos on at home and I can't be bothered to sort it out.

I don't really mind GPM though it's probably just hit the threshold for me of "basically good enough". Really, the only thing I think I'd miss (aside from ad-free Youtube without jumping through hoops, but if that were the only thing keeping me with GPM, I'd be gone now) is the ability to upload my own music.

I pretty much just use the stock alarm (but I'm also one of those old people who hasn't actually been awakened by my alarm in years). I do use it to make sure I'm awake when I get close to my final bus stop on my way to work, though, and that's a bit more critical. I've looked at proximity-based alarms but I've never found one I could actually make work well.
