You must have spent a fortune getting the app on every platform though.

This isn't exactly an andoid app per se, but it is related. Does anyone else use the Pocketcasts web app? This is a really minor issue, but I usually browse my subscriptions by looking at the number of "available episodes" for each show. How come the web app doesn't show this number? Is there a way to get it?

I assume you're talking about the corner badge that appears on the Android app that shows the number of unlistened episodes, not the number available. Another thing I miss is the ability to set a queue on my device and see that in the web app. The developer used to be fairly responsive and I'm not sure how they are now. I will say I've been a bit disappointed in the few changes to the featureset of the web app but it does work and work well so I don't feel shortchanged. Still, I can't say I don't wish it were better.

The number unlistened to. Looking at reviews for the Windows version, it looks like Shifty Jelly hasn't been on the ball in the last 6-months-ish. Kind of a shame. I wonder what happened to them? Maybe they're just focusing all attention on the iOS version.

The left bud on my earphones has died so I'm trying to work out how to force my Moto G (Marshmallow) into mono mode. When I google it gives instructions for Android 4.4 but that doesn't exist there any more (accessibility options). I assume it has to be done with an external app? Any suggestions?

They run an annual Thanksgiving sale where all the apps are half price. I figured $20 to get apps on mac/windows was worth it since I already used the iOS and Android versions quite frequently. Also the non-mobile apps made it a lot easier for me to catalog and digitize my mom's recipes.

Then whag they'll probably do is jump back to Android and start work there again and just focus on that only.

I havent used Snapseed for a year or two, but have just reinstalled it, and mostly I like whats happened while I've been away. But...I'm sure I remember it's key feature being that it's non destructive, you could save & reopen an image and remove some or all of the previous edits. I cant seem to do that anymore, if I save/export the image, it creates a new image and the editing stack is empty if I reopen either the original or the new file. Did they remove this feature or is something going wrong with permissions or something?

What would be a nice alternative to ES File Explorer nowadays? I've been using it since my gingerbread days on my phone and tablet but since I got a new android phone two weeks ago started to grow tired that they filled it with poo poo. I want something that supports external usb drives and shared folders via wi-fi (from my W10 PC). From What I've read Asus file manager is decent and Total Commander is a classic that seems to be still supported. Any suggestions?

Solid Explorer is excellent but not free, 14 day trial to test it out though. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.solidexplorer2&hl=en Nexus devices apparently don't support partitions other than FAT for external USB drives but this plugin adds support for them. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.solidexplorer.plugins.otg&hl=en

I'm a fan of Explorer/Root Explorer. I've also heard good things about File Explorer. To be honest I haven't used or needed a file explorer in so long I wonder why I even bother.

I reset my Windows 10 box today, and now I can't get Solid Explorer to connect to it over LAN/SMB. I've deleted the connection and tried recreating it, but I don't remember exactly what the credentials are supposed to be. My MS username is a Gmail address, and I've tried that as the user name for Solid Explorer as well as my "Firstname Lastname" and "Firstname" usernames, but nothing lets Solid connect. What am I forgetting here?

ThermoPhysical posted:Duo is finally rolling out. oh good, more lovely half baked apps quote:A mission on ease of use, notes Engadget, requires Google to start over, which is why these new apps are tied to the user's phone number and not a Google account. What the hell. How does tying it to a phone number instead of a google account (which since these are android apps, you should probably already have) make it more usable? Not being able to use it on my tablet seems decidedly less usable. quote:Remember, though, that Allo and Duo will not have desktop equivalents, which could prove a frustration to some. god dammit google why must you always gently caress this up. It's like they took all the good points of hangouts, no phone number, any device, built into inbox/gmail, and asked what's the best way to rip it out and make the new app less usable. For apps that are probably going to be abandoned in a year since no one is going to move away from hangouts.

For apps that are probably going to be abandoned in a year since no one is going to move away from hangouts. My favourite poo poo is when they put features back into products that they previously removed a long time ago and suggest that they're new. Like being able to download offline maps after they removed that years prior, or when they put voice chat back into hangouts after removing it for the first year or so*. And now having "incognito" chats in Allo, which had previously been called "off the record" for nearly the entire lifespan of original/classic chat within Gmail. Which I still use on my main account since there is nothing they won't gently caress with to death anymore. *my FAVOURITE favourite part of them removing voice chats originally was because their solution was "Just use Google Voice!" which is only available in the USA, so they cut voice chat service for the entire rest of the planet overnight. Must have been a great day for Skype. Scudworth fucked around with this message at 07:16 on Aug 21, 2016 |

ThermoPhysical posted:Well yes...and also no. So it's based on your phone number and uses your google account to make suggestions. quote:Multi-device support is not available. You can have two installations of Allo on two devices tied to the same Google account, but they need to be on different phone numbers to activate in the first place. Your chats will be completely different on these two devices (again, because tied to phone number). Is a deal breaker for me. Why would I ever switch to an app that has reduced features from the one I already use. And it's removing features that are important to me. Close to 50% of my hangouts chats are through the inbox plugin.

It makes me curious what percentage of people in general still need the ability to text on something other than a phone. I'm pretty sure my social circle uses hangouts on PC a lot but that's admittedly a really small sample of people.

WhatsApp, Signal, Messaging (by way of Join), Skype, FB Messenger, Telegram all have something. Quite fond of Signal's packaged Chrome app, but with the recent death announcement for those...

OK, I only use hangouts so I wasn't sure if WhatsApp and other popular apps had PC messaging. To be clear I'm definitely in the boat of being frustrated about not having PC support but I was wondering if Google looked at the numbers and saw it was too niche to bother with or something.

Duo, in and of itself, is "perfect" to me in terms of what is required of an app. Very simple, high quality, cross-platform, and does one thing perfectly. I'd be very psyched if it came out in 2012.

Is there anyway to put my music library into Google Play without actually uploading it? Like it scans my folders, sees I have an album, but just adds it to my library so whenever I press play on the Play music app or site, it plays Google's copy of it. I mostly just don't want to wait for my stuff to upload.

I uploaded my library way before they started doing that, so I don't know how well it works.
