When on the screen with the player controls (I.e. the artwork is big) put your finger on the artwork and swipe to the left (move your finger left, that is) and you should see what amounts to a playlist from which you can swipe to remove stuff. This won't delete anything but just prevent it from advancing automatically.

I think I might have solved my own problem. When you swipe left and see the auto-play playlist, tap the three dots, top right, and get this menu.



I think (don't shoot me if I'm wrong) that the bottom option, Stop and mark as played, removes everything from the auto-play play list. But they still are classed as un-played on the main, filtered lists. At least, I just did that, and I've still got 17 podcasts lined up in Unfiltered, but my phone is no longer auto-playing. Hope that makes sense!

I work at a daycare and I want to put all the contact information for the parents in my phone. But I don't want their numbers clogging up my contact list. Is there a good app that would let me put all those numbers in a separate contact folder so they only show up when I need them to?

Just make a list in ever note or keep. You can still dial or email from the program by just clicking on the number

It integrates normally. As in it works like this:

Thanks. Next Nine question: it advertises itself as integrating with the GAL, only I don't see anything. There's no GAL search capability when sending email, I just get a list of existing contacts (which is nice but hardly GAL.) I'm using Office 365 if that makes a difference.

Maybe it's a paid feature only?

Is there any way to have a Google Keep list come up on your lock screen and be vieweable in some kind of widget? It's my only annoyance with using Keep is that I can't view a shopping list easily and tick things off as I go around a store. Running Lollipop if it helps (or hurts).

It may be. It searches the GAL for me when I compose a new message (it's a little slow sometimes). With the app installed, I'm also able to search the GAL from my regular Contacts app. That said, I'm also using my company's Exchange server. I'm not sure if it's any different with Office 365 or not.

Lollipop doesn't do lock screen widgets because it puts notifications there now.

Do this:

Make sure you have Screen Pinning enabled (I think it's in Settings under Security)
Open Keep and open your shopping list
Hit the Recent Apps button
Pin Keep

Now even if your phone goes to sleep, waking it will bring you right back to your grocery list, no need to unlock. I do this all the time with my 2014 Moto X when I'm doing my grocery runs.

It's designed for handing your phone to a friend without giving them access to all your poo poo, but that's a pretty neat use of it too.

Yeah, I've been having weird lag issues when I pan and zoom on my Note 4. I have pan and lag issues when i use it in my browser too. And when I used to have an S3, and on my N7 2012 tablet...

Search shows me this app was mentioned months ago, but I just came across it so...

I switched from Arcus for a weather app to Weather Timeline. Its got a sweet Material Design UI and uses Forecast.io as it's backend.

The widget is nice looking too.

I'll be the oddball and say that while I love the Forecast.io data, the weird-rear end flowchart thing just does not do it for me.

I feel bad for the Arcus dev, he really got hosed launching with a free version with how Forecast.io charges for their data and now there's really no digging himself out of the hole he's dug. He admits he doesn't have time to really maintain the app and given that it's a money-sink I doubt he's going to find the motivation to make time.

Given how readily Material Design lends itself to weather apps in general I'm sure a good Forecast.io with great design will come but for me this just seems lazy.

There are a lot of widgets, so I took screens of the picker. You can make it use colors set by the conditions or choose custom text/background colors. You can use rounded or sharp corners, and have it hide/show the refresh and settings buttons on the widget. You can also make the widget transparent.

I left it alone for several hours, then put it on the charger for an hour or two. I currently have the battery disconnected. In a little while I'll reconnect it, reassemble the phone, and see if it wants to turn on.

When this happened previously, it took 3-4 hours before it became responsive.

Also, I apparently put this in the wrong thread; I'll re-post in the device thread since that's much more appropriate for my parts question.

I haven't tried Something since shortly after it came out. I should do so again.

I'm pretty new with Tasker so I'll just ask about my scenario and maybe you all can say if it's doable.

I have an Aux bluetooth adapter for my car since it doesn't have native bluetooth (plugs in the aux and a bluetooth receiver gets sound from my phone etc.) - I have to unplug it though because my car power adapters don't automatically shut off when the power goes off and i don't want to drain the battery. Anyway, the scenario now is I have to plug the thing in, then go into my music app on my phone and start some music.

Is there a way that when the phone detects a certain "paired bluetooth connection" which would be this receiver it could automatically fire up my music player and start playing?

Yep, go to the Tasker wiki and I think that very scenario is there. I am on my phone so I don't have the page handy, just Google it. There's also a tasker thread somewhere.
