What's the best app to profile memory & CPU usage? Motivation: my Asus TF300 is feeling slloowww and laggy lately and I wonder if something I've installed is sucking up all the power.

How can I get rid of this stupid Motorola Spotlight Player? I can only Force Stop, Uninstall Updates, and Disable.

I mean, it looks like a quirky fun app that also plays lame videos, but I'm not really interested in it. I figured you could completely purge it from the phone, but if not, that's cool too.

It seems the Facebook mobile page disables using the soft back key for Chrome's back function.

I must be the luckiest guy in the world. I can't remember having any serious problems with the Facebook app - I've always gotten push notifications, it's never sucked down my battery or caused a wakelock etc. I think I tried some third party facebook apps awhile ago just for the gently caress of it, but they were insanely ugly.

If you want an iOS-style control center with entirely too many options, try Quick Control Panel. I have no idea why I bought it, but it seems to work properly. By default it launches on the assistant gesture (swipe up from the bottom).

It doesn't learn my most used apps very well, and I find myself just wanting to go back to my custom Nova or Apex launcher setup that I find pretty and functional.

According to this jackass on XDA (ugh), the developer has a new child and development is slowed.

Anyone else have an issue with disabling Currents? It constantly reappears at random. I'll uninstall updates and disable, and then at some point it's back in the launcher with updates applied. It's on a stock Nexus 7 2013.

I think you have to open them for it to disable. EDIT: http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...pears-for-good/ Yeah, you need to tap through Currents once and it commits hari-kari for the honor of glorious Nippon.

Aviate has potential to be loving awesome but needs to do some things better like what you mentioned. Looks slick though.

rolleyes posted:Just confirming that I'm getting the same, also since upgrading to KitKat. I sent feedback from within the app as well. Hopefully enough other people do the same that they do something about it. Speaking of 1-starring.. the company I work for makes a one-time password generating app. In the last major update added root detection, but didn't tell anybody about it or note it in the app release notes/changelog. The Android community went loving apeshit and we've been getting slammed by 1-star reviews.

Swipe from the left edge, click the gear at the bottom right, Advanced->Manual Exposure. On my Moto X all it adds is 2 stops of exposure compensation, not really actual manual controls.

Question about Google Calendar, but about the web app, not the phone. I have a couple of employees whom I would like to send weekly schedules from Calendar, but neither of them use Google. In the interest of not having to set up accounts for them and manage them, is there a way I can just send a PDF (or whatever) copy of the schedule to their email addresses?

ExcessBLarg! posted:Why did they do that? What does the app do on rooted devices, or rather, what's done with the information? The app fails to launch if root is detected. It's viewed as a security risk. There is an endless debate regarding this, but the fact is, we released an update that effectively breaks the app for a substantial Android user base and we're getting slammed for it in the Play Store.

I am struggling to merge the hangout/SMS conversations of the same recipient. I thought the update would have done this automatically, but it seems not. Any insight? I tried the advice posted earlier about holding and selecting the Hangout and SMS within the hangout app, but I have no option to merge from there.
