Mikl posted:Wierd request of the day: is there an app that works as a speedometer, with audio cues that would help me keep a steady speed? I would set a speed, let's say 10 mph, and when I get below 9.5 mph it says "speed up" and when I get above 10.5 mph it says "slow down". My 20 seconds on the play store got me to this, though it sounds like you should just be using your cruise control.

I know there are dedicated devices for this kind of things, but I don't want to spend money on it so I was wondering if there's a free app that does this. It would need to be quite precise though, we're taking plus-minus a half mph here, I don't know if a phone is precise enough.

I prefer the mobile website version of Facebook because I can do everything on Facebook without having to install two separate apps. Question: on my older phone I loved Dashclock, because it showed summer really useful information to me at a glance and the shortcuts were great. Now that I have a bigger phone: holy poo poo. A 4x2 widget is a huge loving waste of space on your home screen. Is there anything like Dashclock that can display the same info with the same kind of shortcuts in a 4x1 (or smaller) widget? Dashclock doesn't allow you to resize the widget, and I even tried "better Dashclock". It does the same poo poo but does allow you to resize widget: but everything gets cut off.

You can install an alternative launcher like Nova then adjust the grid size - the stock that the Google launcher uses is ridiculous on larger devices.

I used to have a camera app on my iPhone which would overlay a picture from my camera roll, so that I could frame the new picture perfectly for a pseudo before and after. I can't seem to find it and searching through the magnitude of camera apps is starting to annoy me. Any recommendations?

What's the best way now a days to figure out what's keeping your phone awake? My wife and I both have Samsung Note 4's and the last few days she said that her battery has been significantly more drained by the middle of the day. I asked her to send me a shot of her battery meter and am curious if there's a go to method to find out. Not rooted. Hers:  Mine:

I've just stopped questioning some of her decisions. Whatever. Yeah I had her reboot. I told her facebook sucks but she doesn't believe me. So I'm going to poke around the phone tonight to see if anything stands out and maybe what app used most battery today. I was just hoping there might be an app out now that can tell you.

rotaryfun posted:She installs a lot of apps. But she claims that she hasn't installed anything new in some time. It's a pickle for sure. It looks like either it's a permissions issue (something needs access to something that's being denied and it's just hammering it) or maybe a broken sync somewhere. It could also be something that starts in the background so it might be difficult to just track after a reboot. If there are too many apps to track that she has which you don't, then the next best choice is to look at the recently updated list in the Play Store to see what's updated in the last week or so, maybe something there broke it? At the very least just waiting for the constant wake to appear then looking at the Recents list in the app switcher might point to the offending app (which would hopefully be the last thing she activated). If I had to point at stuff I'd look for third party apps that access services (like maybe a Twitter client run amok) or something that would obviously have a need to sync regularly. Lastly something that would need to access a service in the background, like a GPS app. I mean, if it's keeping the device awake when you're moving in and out of other apps it would need to be doing something that isn't ephemeral (like, say, accessing the camera). It would have to be trying to access a data connection or some sensor.

Is there a calculator for Android devices that are not on Marshmallow that doesn't suck? The default calculator for Marshmallow Nexuses actually sort of qualifies, because they finally added back the degree-mode and it can deal with calculations with many significant figures (for example, actually returning 720 instead of 0 when fed with (1015+7.2-1015)*100). I'm sure it falls down in other places, but even that puts it ahead of most default calculators. It can be sideloaded onto other Marshmallow phones, which is goodish (put it on the Play Store already Google), but Lollipop stuff not so much. EDIT: On that note, if any of you know of a good place to find formulas that shouldn't break calculators but frequently do it'd be much appreciated. dont be mean to me fucked around with this message at 00:04 on Dec 30, 2015 |

There's an emulator for TI 89/92 calculators. You need to get the actual ROM, but it works just like the physical thing if that's your boat.

Was looking at the Google News & Weather app on my 6P and noticed it hadn't updated in the last few days. Uninstalled and reinstalled it, and it hasn't been able to pull down the initial sync. Is this a common problem, or have I screwed things up on my end somehow?

Before you drop $5 on the pro version, know that it doesn't work with Amazon two-factor auth logins, and won't for the foreseeable future.

Now on Tap doesn't detect any of the addresses that are shown. Here what the look like in my messages.  It is an alert service that texts me whenever there is a fire/police emergency in the state.

The traffic ones aren't addresses and the mobile Maps app doesn't like vague cross roads. I'd wager that the weird formatting on the last two prevents the algorithm from seeing the address listed. For shits and giggles I pasted the last two in a standard Google & Maps search and they can't really figure it out either Maker Of Shoes fucked around with this message at 17:59 on Dec 30, 2015 |

Anyone ever had issues with the Firefox app and Google searching within the browser? I get some input lag while it pops up suggestions. Disabling the only addon I have (uBlock) didn't seem to do anything. I tested it out on Chrome and the browser that came with the phone and searching worked just fine. I mean, I guess I could use some other way to Google but it just really bothers me that Firefox isn't working.

Only open for uploading your podcasts since the end of October. User side isn't out yet, I guess they want a catalog of stuff available before opening it up.

It'll just show up one day, knowing Google. They have a habit of doing that. Like when they announced family plans would be coming in a few months back in September, then never mentioned it again until they were introduced a few weeks ago.

So the Facebook app is giving me notifications that I have notifications, requiring me to open the app and see it is just a dumb event invite instead of just telling me that. It also constantly tells me I have an unread message when I don't. Are there alternative apps or should I just pin a shortcut to the mobile site?

I don't really understand how the mobile site is so much better than the app. It can do virtually everything the app can do, and in some cases more (such as rotating photos you've uploaded). I need to look into Chrome notifications for Mobile Facebook and see how reliable that is and I may just ditch the app completely (or just use it for easy photo sharing).

The FB app works fine for me and has for years. Google Play Services uses 5-10 times as much battery as Facebook in Marshmallow. Also I can't share photos/links to a Firefox mobile bookmark
