Has Waze improved from where it was two years ago? I'm in Atlanta, and back then the maps were sporadic and routing was hilariously bad in some areas, like saying to use streets that hadn't existed in over 20 years or worse.

I can't imagine why you'd have such a tough time getting completely accurate location at your house as it should get your location data from being connected to your wifi access point. Unless you have a device with completely broken GPS (Galaxy S- Vibrant in particular, G2x) you should get a perfect location at your home. My Nexus One for example can pinpoint what room in my house I'm in when I turn on GPS indoors as long as wifi is enabled. There's no reason you should be off by 50m outside.

You're describing a hardware problem, not a Google Navigation problem.

Ryokurin posted:Everyone loves Google Navigation right? Well I think it sucks, and I'm looking for alternatives. My problem with it is it's accuracy. For security any "Go Home" type navigation shortcut should be a nearby address or intersection so it doesn't lead right to your door anyway.

The HTC Sense messaging app is driving me bonkers, since it has an annoying habit of ordering messages in the wrong order occasionally. Usually it will place my reply above the original message in the timeline if I replied in less than 10 seconds. Can anyone reccomend a good messaging replacement app? I don't need bells and whistles I just want something with a functioning timeline.

This may be a little pie-in-the-sky, but is there a good "news aggregator"-type app? I read the New York Times, BBC, Al Jazeera, Foreign Policy, etc. and I would love to get all the info in one place instead of swimming through a pool of different apps for every publication.

It combs a bunch of sites for news so it would be hard to follow specific sites, but I really like "News360" It has been my go to news app as of late.

Would Google Currents work? If it has subscriptions available for your sites, it seems like kind of what you're looking for. Worst case, I think you can just plug RSS feeds into it. Personally, I've been using Google Reader to aggregate a bunch of feeds, and then Feedly to read them on my tablet. I've also been meaning to try out Pulse but I don't know much about it.

So I am finally moving into the 21st century and abandoning my "pick one of a half-dozen passwords for every site I log into" strategy in favor of something actually secure. Does anyone have a recomendation for a good "Password Keeper" app? Candidates so far are SplashID, mSecure, and 1password (I tried keePass but the Mac client keeps crashing on me, so that's a deal-breaker). Requirements: - Desktop application for OS X - Syncing over wireless/dropbox - Able to add/edit keys on mobile - Option for browser integration / plugin - Secure (duh)

Thanks everyone! I'm trying out Pulse and will see how it goes EDIT: Another question: what are people's favorite calendar apps/widgets? I need something that would (ideally) sync with Google Calendar and (more importantly) make a whole lot of noise when I need to be notified of an appointment (instead of the quiet "beep" sound I usually hear when I get a notification). Easy-to-use, reliable, etc. also all a plus. OSheaman fucked around with this message at 19:37 on Jan 21, 2012 |

Hubis posted:Candidates so far are SplashID, mSecure, and 1password I used to use SplashID, but I got fed up with the cumbersome Android UI and the nuisance of having to ask for license codes to use the Windows version on multiple machines. Unfortunately, I switched to KeePass, so I can't make a recommendation.

I'm trying out the ICS Messaging app as I wait for the Nexus S 4G to get an official OTA (or buy a Sprint GNex) and it's pretty awesome. Is this seriously how the ICS Messaging app is? I mean it's simplistic, but it's still really good for what I use it for. Also, Roboto looks amazing on the NS4G screen.

Requirements: I'm going to mention something that doesn't match your requirements. Not because I'm a dick and didn't read what you wrote, but because sometimes people don't realize the options that are available to them. I use Lastpass and love the poo poo out of it. It's cloud-based, has extensions for all the major browsers, and a nice Android app. It's also widely recommended and used. It doesn't have a desktop application (that I know of), because you use it through the browser. It "syncs" because it's all in the cloud, not because of any specific wireless or Dropbox integration.

Thanks, I'll give those a closer look. My "requirements" are more "preferences", so I'm a bit flexible if there's a great solution that doesn't quite meet all of them.

I need a couple of App recommendations for using my new Xoom at Uni: -Something for taking notes in lectures. The tablet came with QuickOffice HD, so I don't know if that'll work for it. Ideally it'd have something for sketching quick diagrams, but I'm alright swapping to a different app for that. -An app for sketching quick diagrams. Pretty much just needs touch screen drawing and the ability to save.

ChrisAsmadi posted:I need a couple of App recommendations for using my new Xoom at Uni: I haven't used QuickOffice and it might be very capable, but I've used Evernote on my tablet and it worked rather well. I'm not sure what would be good for sketching diagrams in class, I use SketchBook Pro for drawing in general, though it seems like overkill for this sort of thing. Have you considered discretely taking pictures of diagrams your professor puts on the board with your tablet? I've done this in the past and I don't think it came off as too goony. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.adsk.sketchbookhd https://market.android.com/details?id=com.evernote

Does Evernote also have local storage? It's not a 3G Xoom, so I can't be absolutely sure that I'll always have a connection.

Yes. Also it's worth noting that you can change your sync settings (turn off automatic sync, sync only on wifi, etc). If you're creating a note from the widget it may say something like "failed to upload note," but it will still exist on the device.

landis posted:I'm a big fan of Evernote. It's cloud-based which means your stuff is backed up and you can access it all from the web; and it's cross-platform so it has clients for most everything. It has plugins for browsers for clipping web pages and images and the desktop clients can take screenshots and clip from other applications (on Windows at least, dunno about OSX, and depending on the application). The Android client is increasingly robust and allows for things like bulleted lists and adding location metadata. Catch is also pretty good, and the Android app is phenomenal. I use both personally, Evernote for anything that is detailed and Catch is more for brain farts or something that deserves a Post-It note.
