It doesn't seem to do that for me. I have a few songs with errors in them, and when I played the "uploaded" version, it had the same skips. Maybe it only scans if you're paying for the membership?

I have duplicates of several songs because my copies are slightly different lengths and things like that.

I use that to my advantage when it refuses to upload a track on a mix tape or best of album. I've had it "match" several songs after they were uploaded properly, replacing them with the wrong version. That's super annoying.

The problem with Allo and Duo is going to be the same problem Hangouts has, which is they're only good if most of the people you talk to are willing to download and use them. Like 90% of my social circle is on Android, but no one would use Hangouts, even when it came pre-installed because SMS worked fine for them and what is this green app thing. Then Google Messenger came out and several of them switched from their stock SMS app to that. I don't know, maybe I just have weird friends.

Nope, that's pretty normal for friends that aren't into tech. Luckily facebook messenger is awesome because most of my friends and family use that now over SMS, facebook did the right thing prompting people to download their messenger when they send messeages over facebook's mobile app.

No, people using Hangouts a lot are the ones with weird friends. Duo seems to be very popular based upon reviews/downloads on the Play Store...but its install base is still tiny compared to the number of people using smartphones.

All these IM apps are goddamn poo poo. Its like no one remember what made the internet good. Create a low-level, open, cross-platform specification and then let people make whatever apps they want implementing said specification. SMS/MMS is kind of there, but it's too much controlled by carriers and too lacking in features.

You should try getting a new phone plan instead of continuing to use the plan you got in 2004. The big carriers practically force you to take unlimited messaging these days and have for a while.

Here in Australia SMS/MMS is still the phone messaging system of choice for like, everyone. Our lovely cellular infrastructure is way ahead of our even shittier internet infrastructure. I live in a regional/rural area and I probably get faster internet over 4G, but it's 20AUD a month for 1.5GB, versus unlimited SMS/MMS in the same plan. It's getting better, sure, but I don't see SMS here going away for a long time. Just from a practical standpoint I'd rather send an SMS than use up even a minuscule amount of data sending the exact same message.

Yeah here in the US it's pretty much unlimited text messages for any modern plan. Getting people to all settle in on one service is hard when SMS/MMS comes standard on every phone and they can use whatever app they want to text.

Try Lightflow and use the Use Alternative Overlay option. Not sure it'll work for you, but it's worth a shot (it's also a really good app). I know that most apps that use an overlay gently caress up your ability to install apps (at least without disabling said overlaying app first), but I don't have any such issues, so maybe it'll for what you're doing.

I've only ever had issues with install screens etc, and lux has a sleep list that makes it a non issue Either way every app like that uses an overlay, sounds like you just need to find the options that disable automatically in certain situations

So I just went through the rigmarole of calling Verizon support and after resetting my phone we determined that my front camera is busted and they're sending me a replacement. Now that I'm restoring my phone to how it was before I did a factory wipe, aware that I'll need to repeat the whole process again in a couple of days when I get the replacement phone, can anyone recommend a reliable backup and restore application? Ideally this would back up literally all of my apps and the settings therein and restore them pain-free.

My stuff seems to be all cloud based so who knows.

Is anybody else's Google Photos app showing photos on the wrong days? It seems like it's putting the latest photo taken each day onto another day, but if I took multiple photos in a day, most of them are right. The exif tags show the right date, but the app has them grouped wrong.
