No, Strava isn't a pedometer. You can track how far and fast you walked, but it doesn't run in the background and count steps. That said, I use it daily to track my commute (by bike) because I like seeing if I can beat my best times and it's far from the biggest battery drain in my life. I can't say I've ever noticed it being in the top battery use unless I'm doing a 3+ hr ride.

loving Google. I went to Fi a while back, and now it seems that Hangouts doesn't receive video texts from some people, most of whom are on iPhones, and doesn't bother to tell me I even missed anything. Apparently this is a known issue, with the only advice to switch to Messenger. Except switching to Messenger on my phone doesn't actually make it receive texts, for some reason. Even if it did, then I couldn't text on my computer as easily. Also they just screwed up the Hangouts Windows/Chrome app to be huge and ugly and take up a ton of screen space and not allow me to have multiple chat windows open at once. Things were working well like a month ago, Google! Why gently caress everything up? Now I see there's some dumb new suite of messaging apps coming out, bringing us back to the days we missed so much before Hangouts, when there were many competing Google chat interfaces.

The other day, my company told everyone to update their email signatures to be these new fancy pants HTML email signatures. We use Gmail, but amazingly, the Android Gmail app has no support for HTML signatures or using the same signature I have set up in regular non-mobile Gmail. Is there a (free?) email app that supports Gmail and HTML signatures?

I don't really feel like setting up a gmail account on my phone to test, but what happens if you just open up <html> tags in the plaintext? Seems to me that you could just copy the source code. Might not fit in the Signature field if you're using some bullshit base64 JPG, though.

Seems to me that you could just copy the source code. Might not fit in the Signature field if you're using some bullshit base64 JPG, though. The thought occurred to me, but doing that on a phone seems like a pain in the dick since you have to jump through hoops to view HTML source on Chrome for Android. Might as well try I guess. E: Yeah, that worked about as well as could be expected. It treats it like plain text, and doesn't convert any tags to HTML. If it does do any conversion, it just esacpes the HTML. So that's not an option. I have a plain text signature in place, it's just stupid that I can't use one signature across devices. Mogomra fucked around with this message at 18:05 on Sep 15, 2016 |

I've been using a good email client that recently went into a weird subscription thing and I decided to jump ship. What's a good email app that has a unified inbox for all my accounts (gmail and outlook) but also is secure and isnt shady as gently caress? Bonus points if it fits a blue theme, since Gmail's glaring red theme is.. A little much.

Not that it actually solves your problem, but Inbox is colored blue and matches Outlook.  I'm also interested in this, just because having to flip flop between apps every so often can be a real annoyance. I love Inbox's UI, though.

Can you link your Outlook account with your gmail account so it all goes into your gmail inbox (you can still send emails with either address) and then use Inbox?

The only email that Inbox supports is Gmail. Such a shame, though. EDIT: I guess you could set up something in your other email accounts to forward all email to whatever you're using Inbox with.

He would set Outlook to forward to Gmail, and add the Outlook account as a "Send Mail as" account within Gmail. That's how I manage all of my accounts.

You can also go into gmail and set it to retrieve email from your other accounts. This all then shows up in Inbox.

Unsure about the scenario, but forwarding all your work email to an external address is a big no-no at a lot of places.

Bonus points if it fits a blue theme, since Gmail's glaring red theme is.. A little much. This will probably come off as a joke but I use a BlackBerry Priv (the android one with a slider keyboard) and the hub acts as a unified inbox for everything (texts, emails, Facebook, more poo poo) and I really like it. It also places a heavy emphasis on privacy and security. I think the hub is available in the play store for any android phone but it's a subscription model thing if you're not using one of the two blackberry branded android phones. Not a joke. The Priv is cool.

If you get an email every few minutes, it will check very often, if you get a few emails a day it waits 30-60 m,minutes between polling. .

I believe on phones you've gotta install the malware/virus yourself. Its not like a desktop computer. As long as you don't install some weird app from the web, you should be fine.

Allo doesn't do true SMS. It does SMS relay. Booo Google. BOOOO. From reddit: quote:Technically, it doesn't have SMS. It has SMS relay. You can communicate with a person who uses SMS, but since it's relayed through Google, your phone number isn't used to send the message to them. So the other person may end up with messages from some unknown number from Google's services, if the other person is using iOS (or other). If they have Android, they get a "preview message", basically an instant app for Allo, it looks like. teagone fucked around with this message at 07:13 on Sep 21, 2016 |

Some are claiming they'll go buy an iPhone 7 Plus, some claim they'll just stay on Hangouts, some say they'll use Textra or Messenger. Most just say Google fucks up everything. This is all due to some leaker claiming that it WILL have true SMS. ThermoPhysical fucked around with this message at 07:33 on Sep 21, 2016 |

I really don't see the point in Allo. The Google assistant seems cool, but why would I open up Allo and type in all that nonsense when I can just use OK Google to issue those commands? All my friends are either on Facebook Messenger or use SMS anyway.

The vast majority of my chatting with friends is done either from my tablet or my Chromebook/PC since I tend to put my phone down and ignore it when I'm home. Allo is a step back from messaging portability, so that's a pretty big reason why I'm not interested at all with it.
