Feature works fine for me. I guess you were expecting it to reload the every time you switch back to the app, right? Well, instead the option is actually 'Refresh on Start' and will reload when you arrive to the app after it not being in memory or whatever (i.e. after a reboot, after swiping it out of the multi-tasking screen, and I guess after it is pushed out of memory by other apps). Unless I'm missing something here I'll admit this isn't convenient at all. Oh well, reloading is just a swipe away.

Ok, that's what I was suspecting it meant.

Also, the OP is missing grocery apps. I don't use one, but I was just thinking about getting something set up for wife and I to use. Is Our Groceries still the thing to use?

My wife and I used to use Our Groceries (she's got an iPhone), but eventually it stopped syncing at all. Now we use the Kroger app, and it syncs most of the time. I don't know why it seems to be so difficult to sync one account, even though it is across different device types.

I've considered moving to something other than Google's Authenticator, but since I only have two 2FA accounts, it's not a big deal for me.

OK, so we know that ES File Explorer is now garbage. What's a good replacement? I don't care about root, because I'm not rooted, and I don't care about material design, because I find it ugly.



Also, webcast apps. Pfft! I don't have anything to do with webcasts. :smug:

I've been trying out Root Explorer since I evidently bought it at some point, and it's been working well enough. I haven't had a chance to add an SMB for my computer, but adding and working with Drive and Dropbox has been pretty easy.

Is there anyone else who uses (Root) Explorer and has successfully set up an SMB share? It worked fine with EStrongs and was pretty easy, but I can't get Root Explorer to find the server. I put in the IP and my login information but it only shows "parent folder".

Edit: it works if I add @gmail.com to my username, since that's my Microsoft ID username; it just took longer than I was expecting.

There's 3 of us then. I love BeyondPod and have never had any problems with it. I've tried using the paid version of Pocket Casts for a while and couldn't stand it. It was slow and buggy and also lacked a lot of features I wanted.

I've just started trying Podcast Addict as a replacement for BeyondPod, and after one day, it didn't freak out when switching from headphones to my car's bluetooth, which is the one glaring issue I've had with BeyondPod, so so far, so good.

The bug happened today with Podcast Addict, so it must be something independent of the app. Back to BeyondPod I go!

As far as I'm aware, it can only scan each partition separately, but it will definitely tell you how much space a thing is using. It's akin to WinDirStat or Sequoia View for Windows in the presentation aspect.

Ah, my mistake. I was imagining something like Textra's or Go's popup, rather than something you have to bring up on your own. I'll try it out and see how it goes.

Edit: I was confused by the names. Motorola installs Messaging, but not Messenger.

To be fair I'm not doing anything that requires even one pane anymore. It's just a silly restriction to have when every other file browser has a pane for everything. It's just more logical to me for there to be a pane for SMB, one for cloud services, one for the phone, etc.

I don't know what their interface used to be like, but I think Solid does what you want now, albeit in the drawer rather than always in view.

Does anyone have any recommendations for apps that will read texts while you're driving, but that doesn't get thrown off by a few texts in quick succession? Moto's Voice Assist is pretty good if you don't get any message while it's dealing with the first, but my wife tends to send batches of a few texts in a minute, and it really confuses Voice Assist.

Light Flow has a sleep mode, allows you to set up specific notifications for any contact and can exclude contacts from being affected by sleep mode.

Podcast Addict does this too

I'm sure it does, I just couldn't get the hang of PA's workflow, or something. I tried it out back when I thought the bluetooth bug I was experiencing was due to a specific player, and I just didn't care for it, although I can't remember exactly why. I suppose I could try it again, but then I think of adding all my podcasts again and ...:effort:.

I've often noticed that images with text tend to look horrendously compressed on Facebook, although I don't know the source for any of them (i.e. computer or phone).
