Whats a good app that lets me bind the vol up/down and power keys to media playback buttons? I want to be able to double click the vol up/down to do next/previous and double click the power button to play/pause. I hear it's built into CM7 but I like Sense on my Evo3D.

You can turn off automatic updates in the Amazon store.

yamdankee posted:Google Voice is set to make all calls with my GV number, but as of the last month or so people have been saying I'm calling them from a different number, my Verizon number. I've reinstalled GV, and it is still set to make all calls with GV number, but my Verizon number always shows up. Any ideas? Welcome to Google Voice! Get used to settings randomly changing for no explainable reason and the changes won't even show on the settings page. Just set the setting to something else and then reset it the way you want and it should stick (for a while anyway). It's kind of annoying.

My gf's Swype keeps crashing every time she brings up the keyboard. I've run into this issue before on my phone and it requires deleting the Swype apk from the system folders and reinstalling which I proceeded to do. However, when I do that, the issue still pops up. More crashes. What am I missing? She's running CleanRom reborn on an Evo3d.

Sir Lemming posted:As an iPod touch owner, same deal. Nothing ever likes the way you tag your music, ever. iOS 5 has helped a little, but I've still got plenty of cases of albums split into separate albums for no reason, randomly losing album art, etc. It just comes with the territory. You have to do some babying to get it to work. I just don't understand how something as simple as a music library system is so drat complicated. Sometimes I don't think the people that write these programs even listen to music. The iTunes developers sure as gently caress don't.

Since you mentioned iTunes organizing your music collection, there is one issue I've seen with iTunes (all versions). ID3 tags are barely supported in iTunes and for some reason Apple would rather keep all that metadata in its own database instead of writing tags to the actual mp3 files. Are you sure those files are actually tagged properly by iTunes?

Also be sure that the app you use can use the speakerphone mic instead of the regular one. Speakerphone mics are generally omnidirectional so it should pick up most of a decently sized room (at the cost of audio quality).

The latest version of Maps sucks. Between the battery issue (that I also have), they've removed the area of uncertainty circle when GPS is still locking on. You just appear to be jumping around all over the map with no discernible reason why. Also, is there a way to force Maps to just use the hardware compass instead of GPS? My phone randomly takes forever to lock on and I usually just need to get a compass bearing when I'm coming out of a subway station.

The only thing that makes me nervous about Swiftkey is that it logs everything you type, right? Doesn't that include passwords and whatnot? I've been using an old de-crappified version of Swype with the internet blocked (thanks, Droidwall!) because I was always afraid of the keyboard app having access to my passwords. Please goons, relieve my paranoia about Swiftkey! I'm tired of this old version of Swype but could never go back to touch typing. I signed up for the new Switftkey beta so I'll give it a shot (probably going to block that too though). FlyingCheese fucked around with this message at 21:01 on Oct 25, 2012 |

LastInLine posted:No you're definitely correct that the entire point behind Swype and SwiftKey were to create trust by legitimately serving millions of people just so they could harvest your password to SomethingAwful. The whole thing- hiring people, giving them wages and benefits, filing corporate tax returns, all of that is so they'd be able to maybe, just maybe, sniff out your online banking password so they could get away with the tens of dollars you have in checking. And if they manage to order something on your Amazon account, well, that's just gravy! I'm not necessarily worried about the company behind these apps. I'm worried about their security. Data leaks happen all the drat time. But you just go on and troll anyway.

Even if you have no idea how the data it's logging is being used (and judging by the question, he clearly doesn't) it's positively ridiculous to think that it's a security risk in the way of compiling usable information about a particular user.

I never said it was a hacked version of Swype gotten off XDA. It's simply an old beta that I reverted back to from before they added a bunch of useless poo poo.

). Anyone breaching the Swype Datafortress would have a way harder job making use of the information than the people who got usernames, passwords, and credit information all in a tidy package from Sony (especially because a lot of people re-use usernames and passwords all over the place). They'd need to decipher which things in your hundreds or thousands of personal words were actually login names and passwords, and then they're need to decide what those were credentials for. If your passwords are so bad that they give it away (like BankOfAmerica666) then I suppose you reap the derp you've sown.

The problem I have with Spotify is that it seems like they got all their audio files from Napster circa 2001. Tags are a mess, bands are credited with songs they didn't have anything to do with, and a lot of it sounds like it's 96k MP3 (and some of it sounds worse!) As far as their music selection goes, some bands have nothing listed at all, while others have their complete library. It's kind of hit or miss.

So I've inherited a large classic comic book collection. I'd like to categorize it easily so I can sell it if and when the time comes to do so (after I've read most/all of them). I was wondering if there's an app out there that will let me scan the barcode on each one and automatically pull info from some online database and get all the info on it and put it in a spreadsheet. If there was a way to do this, I'd be the happiest motherfucker alive as there are 15 boxes of books. Thanks. Edit: I do have an old ipod touch laying around so if need be, I can use that. But I'm obviously looking for an android app. FlyingCheese fucked around with this message at 07:17 on Dec 15, 2012 |

Because using a free alternative is totally ripping off the poor hard working android developer. Just because someone is using a free alternative that might fit their needs just fine doesn't mean they're stealing from some dude that decided to charge a couple bucks for what is essentially the same thing.

I get this Google music glitch where you hit play and the app says it's playing, the time ticks up but there no audio at all. The only fix that I've found was to force close the app and start over. Google music is a pile of junk but such a good concept. I wish Google would give it some love from more than 1 employee or something.
