Live a Little posted:Does anyone have a good recommendation for a good app for video podcasts? There's just so many choices coming from iOS. Will especially love something can subscribe or download from the itunes podcast feeds since it seems really popular but I know how apple can be with "their" content. I'll keep pimping iSyncr, with the Wifi add-on. It will sync everything that you say to, including video podcasts. Just tested with my phone and it worked beautifully.

SpacePig posted:Does AirSync only work if you've got DoubleTwist, or does it work independently of it? Also, is it any better at syncing music, specifically, then AirDroid is? If you use iTunes already, I use iSyncr and the wifi addon. Works beautifully, and I saw on the website that you can setup a Tasker event to run on certain SSIDs so you can automatically update once you get home.

Tunga posted:That reminds me, contact shortcuts are shortcuts (not widgets) and therefore cannot be resized. How can I make SUPER HUGE contact and direct dial shortcuts? You could try something like Car Widget, produces largish icons if you only need a few direct dial contacts. I am surprised there isn't a widget setup to produce large icons for older/hard of seeing people.

AnimalChin posted:Has anyone been happy making a switch from an ipod to using an android as an mp3 player? If you are already using iTunes, I would recommend iSyncr. There is a wifi version so you do not have to be connected to the computer. Well worth it, and I have it set to scheduled syncs. Really like.

Napolean Bonerfarts posted:Does anyone ever use Swiftkey X? I love the keyboard, but drat sometimes the keyboard is so laggy in some applications. I did a factory data reset recently and it still lags. Anything I should do? Anyone have this problem? Should I switch to a different keyboard? I'm running CM 7 on an Inspire 4G I use it, and recently, the drat thing won't show what I'm typing. Just appears blank, I have to exit out of whatever I'm doing to fix it. Other than that, no lag thankfully.

Crustashio posted:Anyone having issues with iSyncR wifi after the jellybean update? It went from working flawlessly to not copying half my playlist, and deleting everything if I have autosync turned on. I ran into a problem with the most recent update. I'm not running JB, but it was something similar, where it would only copy half of the files over. I ended up deleting the music folder and settings folder, and resyncing everything. Haven't really had any troubles since then.

FastestGunAlive posted:Hey guys, any recommendations on a Japanese app? I'm visiting and I would like to learn basic phrases and kanji. I took a year of Japanese in college but I don't remember anything; I think having an app handy would help me remember. If anyone knows a good iOS app that works as well but I prefer Android. I know there are a number of language apps out there so I wanted to see if anyone had experience with them I installed 50 languages to try and figure out a bit of Korean before I visit. It is pretty good and will speak correct pronunciations, I didn't buy it, the free version was fine for me.

MikeJF posted:If you want to sync with your iTunes, get iSyncr, and optionally iSyncr wifi. But that's not a player, that's just to sync the music/playlists to your phone. He merged the wifi addon into the main app so it is no longer needed, though you may have to still unlock the feature, not sure on that one.

Velius posted:I'm probably going to get a nexus 7 later today. One thing I would like to have would be some sort of organizer/reader for pdfs, in particular journal articles. Ideally something that can include author /title information and possibly keywords. Are there any good options? If you use Mendeley, which is free and decent at organizing PDFs, there is Scholarley . It pulls in your Mendeley info, unfortunately Mendeley does not offer an Android version. I wish they would because Scholarley is iffy at best.

I really enjoy it, a few quirks that irritate me a bit, but well worth it in my opinion. My favorite part is the banter after you complete a mission. I was running one time and one of the guys said the next song he had his first kiss to, by random selection Rammstein's Pussy came on. I had to stop for a second because I was laughing so hard.

Require More Fire posted:See, I'm not a fan of Currents or similar apps because I like my feeds in one big list that I can scroll and read what I want. Having my stuff split into different categories and sub-categories makes me miss stuff all the time. This is the way I am. Currents is ok for when I'm on the can. I tried Flipboard but it was slow as poo poo and some sites weren't formatted to they way they do things. Other apps I haven't been too impressed with, though haven't tried all of them.

It's spring time and I've decided to do some cleaning of my music. I've been using iTunes for years and it worked fine for me. But as I change files, update files to better rips, etc. iTunes is becoming a pain. I need a suggestion for a new music player. I would like it to be cross-platform, Windows and Linux. I would also love for it to handle my podcasts, where I can hook my phone up and it will update the play position to the player on my computer and I can finish listening to it. Suggestions?

I'm using a SG3 and run into a bizarre problem. For some apps, if I change any settings, next time I enter the app they have been reset to something completely different. For instance, the new Gmail app, for one of my accounts, it keeps defaulting to no notifications for emails. However my other account works fine. I also have issue if I reboot the phone, it forgets which keyboards I want to use, defaults back to the Samsung keyboard. Any ideas what may be the problem? I have not tried clearing the caches or anything like that for the apps.

Rasmussen posted:Just got my Nexus 5 and loving it. What's the easiest, preferably free, no-frills way to sync my itunes playlists from my PC with the phone? I don't want to use 'the cloud' as I do not have reliable or cheap data currently. Not free but I like iSyncr. It's pretty painless and you can do everything on your home wireless network. And you can have it autoupdate if you change playlists, etc. Does anyone have a recommendation for a wiki app? Apparently, Wapedia is no longer being supported, which is a shame because it was pretty nice.

I think if you go into settings for iSyncr and look under Wifi Sync and check Delete Unselected. That should get rid of any songs not on your current playlists. I'm not currently at home to test it but I think that is the option that you want.
