Fart of Presto posted:Did Google change it so you are now allowed to download albums and tracks through the browser without limitations? I think there's still the two-download limit if it's solely through a web browser: if it's done while the Chrome app is installed there's no limit to the number of downloads. Downloading through the Windows 'Music Manager' is still an all or nothing thing.

Is it possibly to get apps that replace the following? * Notifications bar in the top, and/or what is shown when you swipe down from the top? My swipe-down menu has two pages; one with notifications, one with all the quick settings. * The "alt tab" menu that's shown with the list of recent apps when you press the menu button

Are there any free apps that will play NFL audio commentary? I hate football, but better to have an audio play by play over speaker than have coworkers constantly whipping out there cell phone for score updates. Definitely prefer one that doesn't require registration.

Definitely prefer one that doesn't require registration. Find a regular radio station that plays the sports commentary for NFL games, and then hunt down their matching app. For instance the CBS Radio app will cover you for a station that's in their network if it's in any of the major radio markets, others might be on TuneIn Radio. And if you can't find a matching app, usually their website will have a stream link that will work directly in browser.

The voice recognition couldn't tell what I was saying through my accent I guess (some horrible English/Australian thing) and then it couldn't find my face when it asked me to look into the camera and be angry, so I uninstalled it and went back to sleep.

Yeah I tried it and it wanted me to look 'disgusted', I tried my best but it wasn't what it was looking for. No suggestions on what it was actually wanting me to do differently/what it was looking for, similarly I uninstalled after that and think it still needs a bit more work.

I feel like I've mentioned OneNote before but it may not have been this thread. I haven't really found a use for it on Android, but the app is good still. I never found a need for Evernote either. I use the desktop app all the time and it's goddamn excellent. Like really, really good.

I use the app at work and like it, especially the ability to link to PDFs on the local network (lets me make an index to frequently accessed references instead of having to remember what 11FMAX1 actually is). The one thing I don't like is if you make sub-sub-pages, you can't collapse them down to the sub-page. I use Evernote at home and on my phone for various things, though it's probably overkill, to be honest. Mainly use it to archive user manuals and recipes. I also like OneDrive, though their raising of prices may make me reconsider that position. I hear good things about Outlook for people that don't use Gmail. Bing is okay and gives me ~$5 in rewards, so Microsoft is literally paying me to use it.

Is Android that hard to develop for? Is it the variety of phones or something on the fundamental level of Android? It seems like all the cool apps come to iPhone first. I don't want to believe its just brogrammer bias perpetuated by silicon valley.

Everyone I hear talk about Android development makes it sound like a nightmare due to the variety of phones. If all they had to target was Nexus phones, it would be fine, but they have to deal with OEMs modifying the OS to suit their phones which introduce weird bugs and inconsistencies, and the most popular phones are from companies most notorious for doing it.

It's about money too. People develop for apple because of the sheer number of people buying apps on the app store.

I don't want to believe its just brogrammer bias perpetuated by silicon valley. 2 main reasons. It's harder to develop for. Way way more devices and on top of that you also have android fragmentation, something like 80% of apple users are on the newest ios, it's not even close to this for Android. So chasing down the cause of a bug a user has reported can be a real challenge. Secondly apple owners are simply more inclined to pay for their apps. Dunno why this is but there are a range of stats that back this up.

I wonder if when you control for high-end vs budget phones, that still holds up. (by "that" I mean Android users spending less on apps)

Well, when Android includes such a broad range of different populations, those in developing markets probably can't buy many apps even if they have an Android with the Play Store, yet are still counted as Android users, same as people using $50 Androids in developed markets, those phones can't even buy as many apps from the store, let alone perhaps the budget consciousness of the individual with such a cheap phone, these are Android users too. So when you consider the huge number of Androids, it seems pretty simple to me that the number of us carrying flagship Androids of the current generation even in somewhere like Australia is pretty small, that fits my experience, heck I don't even have a current generation flagship. I can't say I've even seen the flagships from Samsung, HTC or LG in the wild this year. At least I have actually seen both Nexuses and a couple of Sony Z5 surprisingly.

Despite having barely a fifth of the worldwide phone shipments and half as many app downloads, the Apple App Store earned 70% more revenue than the Google Play Apps store. Even controlling for phone cost, I'm not sure you'd find things being particularly even, even if you could assume the top-end Android phones are selling 100% of apps. That said, this might just suggest that Android users are more accepting of ad-based apps, while iOS users aren't, but I don't really know.

I have tried a bunch of 'wake up gently' alarm apps but I have found that setting my apartment's heating to come on in the morning does a far better job of rousing me gently than any of them. Even at very low volumes / rising volumes the alarm sounds always seem to jar me awake abruptly.

I bought one of those Philips alarm clocks with an LED light that mimics the sunrise and uses birds chirping to wake me up. Better than any app. Just wish it synced with my phone so I could set alarms that way, but you can't have everything.

I find that keeping tasks in a list is useless for me. It's just too easy to ignore the list altogether! I generally use calendar reminders that give me a notification to remind me that I need to do something. (Which is why I dislike the change to Google Calendar to where the notifications now go away automatically if you don't act on them within an hour or so.)
