hooah posted:That sounds like a feature you turned on by mistake. I know BeyondPod has something similar where (most of the time) it will back up some number of seconds when you unpause, just so you don't miss anything. No, sometimes it will simply unpause, as expected. Other times it will rewind ten minutes and unpause, rather than just unpause.

Is there a top-tier MP3 library/player app out there? I know the push is to the cloud, but I'd like to load up a 128GB MicroSD with a ton of albums for offline listening, and an app that can handle a huge library well would be nice.

In Poweramp any way to exclude podcasts / certain folders? Using Antenna Pod. Cheers.

ICHIBAHN posted:In Poweramp any way to exclude podcasts / certain folders? Using Antenna Pod. Cheers. If you stick a file called .nomedia in the folder you want to exclude, it should keep the system from looking for media in it. Your podcast app should still see the files because it's specifically looking for them there. edit: feels like it's 2011 all over again

I'm a newbie to android so forgive me if my question is dumb. Decided I did not like my lockscreen which was plain black so I downloaded GO Locker. I set it up and now I have 2 lock screens. Do. Have to disable the base lockscreen somehow? Or is this how all the lockscreen apps work?

Is there a program or a better cable (than the one that comes as standard) which increases the speed of adding files (mp3s) to yer phone, Samsung S7 specifically? Mine seem to take an age, especially compared to iPhones through iTunes, much as I hate to admit that.

Just use Airdroid or FX to move them across WiFi. Or upload them to Google Play and then pin the ones you want to keep on your device.

Is there an as-good/better browser than chrome that uses tabs as discreet apps in the task browser? Chrome reverted to tabs-within-chrome and I loving hate it. Takes like 3 more button presses to switch/close tabs. Or maybe there's some secret method to reverting chrome back?

I always give new interfaces a shot on their terms because I figure clinging to the past is how you get people willingly using Foobar 2000 and I think I gave that idea like a day before it had completely destroyed the usefulness of the task switcher.

It could be a good feature with a little more work. (I've actually long been a fan of the idea of blurring the distinction between "web browser" and everything else an OS does, because it's not like you're ever actually offline these days.) Maybe there just needs to be a more intuitive way of "closing" a browser tab that you're done with. Otherwise the task switcher gets cluttered in no time, because I usually just hit the Home button when I'm done. Of course, I'd inevitably end up closing something and then wanting to open it again (your classic "throw the wrapper in the garbage and then need to read the instructions" problem). So they'd probably want to accommodate that as well.

I frequently close a tab and need to go back to it but it's not the last tab I closed. On OS X, there's the Menu Bar and in it a History list that gives me access to the last ten domains I had open. On Windows there's only right click on the tab bar, reopen most recently closed tab. I bump into that annoyance constantly on Windows.

Manky posted:Windows Chrome: What do you get if you click the hamburger menu and hover over history? Yeah, that's what I end up having to do. My point (which I made poorly due to rushing my post because I was cooking) is that if you'd had asked me if I wanted quick access to my old tabs I would've said no but in practice I use it if not a lot, then frequently enough to miss it when it's gone on a computer. I guess then it shouldn't surprise me that some people want that same functionality on mobile.

Mobile UIs currently don't make much of a distinction between "recently closed" and "open in the background". I realize this is because of the way they do memory management, and the fact that it's made more sense for single-screen usage. But with actual multitasking becoming more of a thing on mobile devices now, maybe this doesn't make as much sense from a UI perspective anymore.

Skarsnik posted:I'm afraid you're the only person ever to have liked that feature When they first change from tabs-within-chrome I hated it due to 'taskbar clutter' but i got used to it. Now that they went back it just feels less efficient and easy. What was two actions is now four. A good example of why it sucks: I was browsing a site that jumped me with one of those lovely YOU HAVE A VIRUS pop-ups. So I hit taskbar button and swiped the tab closed. Except that closed chrome, not that tab. Relaunched chrome, guess what greets me: lovely pop-up site as chrome just launched back into all previous tabs. I was forced to interact with lovely pop-up site to close it. It's a bit slower due to this too. Whatever tho I'll get used to it I suppose.

Is there a location-based to-do app? Example: I get home, phone connects to my wifi, it pops up a list of things I need to do, like "print invoice for dan". I don't want to do a time-based thing, since I never know when I'll be home. Example 2: I hop in my car, phone connects to my BT stereo, and pops up a list of errands I need to do today.

Google now could do the first one otherwise they could be done with any to-do list app and something like llama or automateit or one of the other automation apps, just set it up to run the to-do app when the appropriate condition is detected

Thank you for the airdroid recommendation. It rules. Is there a way to change the default folder where you upload files from your computer to phone? Edit: also, any way to use my phone to browse files to copy from my computer? ICHIBAHN fucked around with this message at 21:34 on Jun 24, 2016 |

What's the best third-party twitter app if I specifically don't want it to be a huge data hog? I'm currently using Fenix which I like a lot but it doesn't seem to have any specific low-data-use options in it (unless I'm completely overlooking it)
