mrmcd posted:God I hope they add this. Then thing I want more than anything else is being able to listen to podcasts at home or work on my computer but have my subscriptions and unplayed episodes sync back to my phone as well for when I'm on a suggest or plane. Google Listen did this somewhat before they killed it and I really miss that feature. Is there some reason you don't just listen to them on your phone always, whereever you are? Works for me.

Scope was decent, but putting it into one feed is what I don't like. I love TweetDeck's panels, so I can have mentions, direct messages, lists, and different accounts on their own screens. If someone makes a decent TweetDeck like clone that actually uses the holo interface I'll switch in a minute. I REALLY want to like Plume but I can't get past it's busy, cluttered, and texture filled interface.

Cerberus is one of the sweetest apps I've seen in a while - I've only used one of the features (the tracking) but man it saved my rear end.

A small fee gives you life time membership and you can have up to 5 phones active at any time. I consider it a must buy for any Android user with a phone on any kind of value.

I tried Plume again, and found some more customization settings I didn't find the last time I tried it, and I'm sorta starting to like it. I'll give it a few days and see if it drives me crazy like it did last time.

I consider it a must buy for any Android user with a phone on any kind of value. It comes in handy far more than you think. I'm an idiot and always misplace my phone, so the "alert" mode that makes it flash and make a siren noise is incredibly handy. When my LCD and touchscreen broke, I could still access my text messages and call logs and contacts. The best part is getting the automatic pictures of friends trying to snoop on my phone, or me failing to unlock it when I'm drunk.

No, it's primary use is if you don't have root. Though the interface is a lot cleaner than Titanium Backup because it's scope is more limited.

Vykk.Draygo posted:Is there a compelling reason to get Carbon (the backup utility, not the Twitter app) if I'm rooted and already using Titanium Backup? It lets you pull backups between devices, so if you have a phone and a tablet and play a game on one, and want to resume on the other you can force it to sync. It's a complete manual process to do that, but works nicely enough.

Not sure if this is the right place but I recently installed 4.2.1, downloaded my apps and so on and found What's App refuses to vibrate for notifications. Group or normal chat notifications, it's all out. Vibrate works for email and calls though. Anyone know of a solution for this? Also, any recommendations for a screenshot app?

IIRC it's a sporadic bug in Whatsapp which has been around since ICS, though some can get it to work again by changing the vibrate duration. Contact the dev. quote:Also, any recommendations for a screenshot app? There's an inbuilt function: press and hold Power + Volume down (You need to time it so you press them at roughly the same time). LastInLine posted:What's wrong with the built in screenshots and vibration behavior is broken on 4.2. Yeah, that change shouldn't have been made until they'd fully transitioned to whatever universal notification management system they have in mind. That's not it in this case though, otherwise he'd be complaining about too many vibrations instead of too few.

I'm currently deciding whether I should buy Carbon or Titanium Backup. What would you recommend? Can Carbon also backup all system and apps settings? I don't have to keep entire images of my phone around, but being able to copy over all my previous settings would be extremely useful. I'm rooted, so it's not like either one of those two should run into any issues. I'm just turned off by Titanium because it looks way more complicated and ugly (and I might never use all the features it has).

It was refusing to send any texts then it resent them two times each like two hours later. I'm doubting it was my data though. I've had good data speeds and no hiccups the whole time I was away from home.

Quoting my earlier post once because I'm not sure if people just didn't know or if it got skipped. My apologies if the former.pinchet posted:Do any of these music programs you guys are talking about remember playback position? And by that I mean play something to a certain point, go to another mp3 or podcast all together, and then go back to the first and have it remember the position. I heard only good things about Poweramp but its "remember playback position" seems to be only when you close and reopen the app, not play another mp3.

Trip report: After a few days of forcing myself to use Plume and finally customizing it so it's not as garish I'm SO VERY CLOSE to liking it, but the lack of one single feature is once again about to be a deal breaker: You can't set per-account and per-column notifications. The only notifications you can set are for your whole timeline, mentions, or direct messages, and only one notification sound. The amount of customization Tweetdeck had for each column both how often it synced and what notifications it used was the main thing I loved about it.
