I told Google I owned a small business (true) and boy are they ever spinning their wheels trying to figure out what it is. Also I've been asked if I've gone truffle hunting twice in the last six months.

Uthor posted:I have the Google App giving me box scores for the World Series and its updating the score in a notification. That notification is typically 20+ minutes out of date. Is there a way to have it update at least every five minutes without opening the app itself and manually updating it? Or on screen unlock? Yeah, I hate how long that takes to update, but I also think if it polled more, people would get pissy about battery usage.

Uthor posted:Android Auto now works without a dedicated head unit. Tried it today - pretty nice. Need to remember to turn on my car as a trusted device so I don't have to PIN it on every time I want to look at something. Wish you could re-arrange the items under Audio so Podcast Addict isn't at the bottom. I also wish the delay on Bluetooth wasn't two seconds or more so I could say OK Google and have it pause playback. I might try getting things working under USB, but I'm not holding my breath on that.

Is there a way to make Timely start up on reboots? It's a great alarm app but if my phone reboots overnight (Pixel XL, twice???), the alarm doesn't go off.

CLAM DOWN posted:It does that, I've never had timely not persist during reboots/anything. As said, why the hell is your phone rebooting?? Dunno, I'm asleep when it happens!  I assumed it was part and parcel of the Android 7 experience, but my patch is still at 11/5/2016. Other than that, and a weird Maps glitch when I'm in Auto (which I assumed was because Auto is pretty much beta at this point), my experience has been extremely solid, so! If there's a system log somewhere where I can say "yo why'd you reboot", that'd be a good thing for me to check.

Blue Train posted:Try /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops So by the grace of my jerk dog barking, I happened to be awake to see the phone reboot itself this morning at 4:45. Scrambled downstairs and got the log off the computer, which looks to my untrained eye like it's starting from where the reboot happened. I've got it uploaded to my Google Drive, but I don't know if there's any identifying information I should scrub from it before putting it out here? I did check and I'm still on 11/5 security patch, and still showing Android 7.1, so no update. Deathlove fucked around with this message at 12:15 on Dec 6, 2016 |

LastInLine posted:There's going to be a lot of stuff like your email address and things in there. ctrl-f and see if you can find stuff you don't want read. I'm concerned though you might have grabbed the log going forward from the reboot rather than the last_kmsg (last kernel message)? https://docs.google.com/document/d/12fNdwVyCfGZd77r0psB7R2KpQApYEBgsjtJEtZOJ9Ps/edit?usp=sharing is what I grabbed - don't see any identifying information in there, though, and it definitely looks like going from reboot forward, but maybe I'm wrong. I'll look into getting rooted if this keeps happening after I get 7.1.1 installed; maybe installing the ROM fresh wouldn't be the worst idea I've ever had. Also apropos of current topic, I also use Podcast Addict and vastly prefer it to BeyondPod and whatnot, mainly for the subscription stuff (for Giant Bomb/Wrestling Observer) working really well.

LastInLine posted:That's definitely from the boot onward. What you want is located here /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops though I don't know if you have permission to get it. That's what I got - grabbed it using adb shell cat /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops > crash.txt on my computer, once I got to it; it'd been about fifteen minutes from crash to command, though.

peepsalot posted:Is it possible to create an alarm from google calendar? I'm sick of this thing loving me over. A 1/2 second duration notification sound is apparently not enough to wake me up for important doctor's appointment, and I don't see any way to make it an alarm. I need event reminders to effectively remind me; whatever the gently caress calendar is doing is not working. why don't you...make...an alarm I use Timely and paid the extra bucks to make it do the tests to make sure I'm awake.

RandomPauI posted:I don't care for podcast addict or pocket cast. I don't want to have to memorize what pic goes to what podcast. I'd rather see a text list of the podcast names. You can do that in Podcast Addict. (Podcasts-Display Settings-Display Mode) I would also like to thank the recommendations for background generators! Is there a better version of Bluetooth Connect and Play that will stop everything on my phone from trying to play when it connects to my car? BC&P kills Android Auto and keeps killing stuff even after the ten seconds or however long. Oh, to just be able to tell my phone STOP PLAYING THINGS.

thehoodie posted:Not sure if this is the right place to ask about this (please direct me if not), but google is shutting down Inbox and forcing everyone to move back to Gmail. I can't stand Gmail (why would I possibly want 5 separate I boxes) - is there an alternative that allows bundling, snoozing, and swooping like Inbox? Preferably with a desktop equivalent. You can snooze and swipe to archive/delete/mark-read/move in Gmail - default on swipes is Archive, but you can change that (one for left and one for right) in General Settings, and Snooze is in the three-dot menu by default. I'm not happy about it either (GIVE ME REMINDERS IN GMAIL), but I don't use bundling and as long as I can swipe to snooze/archive, I'll be fine, I guess??

Ola posted:I thought they fixed this a while ago. Perhaps only in the desktop client, I don't have an active sub at the moment to check. But you can definitely turn off that thing where it keeps playing random stuff after your album or playlist is done. You can do that, which is great, but I want a playlist/queue to disappear when it's done - if I play an album, I don't want it back at the start when I'm done, I want it gone. And there's still no Clear Queue button, even if I remove everything from my Queue, you can't have Nothing playing. mango sentinel posted:I just buy all my music on Bandcamp i mean, me too, but not all bands put their stuff there!

There's no way to edit the event to change it to another calendar. Tap the event, three dots, Copy To the right calendar, delete original. Stupid to not have it under Edit, I agree, though!

Below that is event location, add notification, add conferencing, default color (only affects color, not calendar), description, attachment, public/private, busy. I think that means you didn't create it/don't have high enough permissions to unilaterally change it? Try copying it to the calendar you want it on?
