FWIW, I go spells of multiple months where I get exactly the same sort of survey with no right choices. I always answer honestly. I do also go through dry spells where I don't get much, but I can't say it's correlated with me answering those surveys honestly.

After a week or so of answering honestly, the surveys dried up. Now I'll get 1-3 a month. That might even be an over estimate. I've been getting those at least 1-2 times a day. But the choices are always something I drove by, but not stopped at. I always answer honestly, and always get 10 cents. I've mostly been getting Youtube suggestions recently. It will show me a youtube video suggestion and ask if it was a good suggestion or not. Generally get 35-50 cents for answering.

I need an app that can track my data usage over a three month period. My plan is three months at a time thing where I have a 18gb cap, and MIUI on my phone looks like it can only do one month at a time. Anyone have a good suggestion?

Does your provider offer an app? A lot of them do

My Data Manager should let you track for different times than just a month, I used to make use of it when I had a much stricter data plan: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobidia.android.mdm&hl=en If you ever get another phone that isn't stuck with MIUI though, it's been standard in Android settings app (including in the Samsung variant) to check over your past 4 months of data usage before it gets purged. Also, your provider may have a code you can dial and they'll text you back with how much data you used and how much is left. Eg, I dial *3282# on my AT&T phone and get back: my total used as a text.

"We saw your phone near this address yesterday" type of stuff. I get them all the time for the place I park for my van pool. I always say yes, and that I didn't make a payment.

Yeah, there's a "Just passed by" answer now which works great for me. My office is next to a strip mall and I walk almost daily at lunch up and down the length, so I get multiple surveys a week of "were you at Target?" What's fun is even when I answered "just passed by" it asked me if I had a receipt to take a picture of.

It's funny how Google geniuses can write magic software that detects your proximity to advertisers, but not understand that humans sometimes walk past commerce without being shoppers

Yesterday, there was a major incident that closed two routes home. Waze was trying to take me on one of the closed routes because it knew my normal route was closed. Google Maps knew the 2nd route was closed, but wanted to take me home the normal, currently closed, route.

So I recently got an Honor 9 and it's great, except that the alarm/stopwatch interface is godawful. You have to manually spin dials. I tried to find an alternative clock app that lets me instantly type my desired times or at least uses a better interface like the analog clock I had on my old OnePlus One, but the Google Clock app has me tap the hours, type the hours, tap the minutes, type the minutes, which is dumb, and I hate the Timely animations. Any suggestions?

I'm old and still don't trust my phone with important alarms, so I use the alarm clock I bought 15 years ago.  (as long as my phone continues to forget to alert me of calendar reminders, I will continue not trusting it.)

Possibly, I definitely remember that interface but can't remember if it switched randomly or if it was an os update. I use oreo fwiw

Tunga posted:What OS version are you on? I think it just uses the standard platform time picker. Your one looks like it did on Gingerbread but I can't remember exactly when it changed. 7.0 Nougat. But now that thanks to you I know what that UI element is actually called, I was able to google the issues and it seems to be a problem endemic to the Honor series of phones. However, there was an Oreo-based update available that I just installed, and while the default Honor clock is still bad and dumb, the google clock I downloaded now uses the less dumb watchface system. Is there a way to just set that as the default clock app that opens when I tap the time and whatnot?

If you're setting timers and stuff through assistant it will say the timer and have clock underneath it, you can tap that to select which app is used by default. For the home screen widget I don't think there's a way, on the mate se there isn't. You'd need to install a different launcher or different widget

But now that I do know I think I'll start using it, seems way better than slapping my greasy mitts all over my phone while cooking. And I should probably look into a different launcher anyway. Thanks for the help, guys.

SwiftKey has a beta feature that recommends emoji based on what you have typed. It's actually pretty dope! Like, type "Merry Christmas" and it shows emoji for Xmas trees and Santa and such. It's like a glorified filter. I like it much better than when they were showing emoji with the predictions and it's easier than scrolling through every single emoji to get to the one you want.

Is pocketcasts still the podcast app of choice? I've used beyondpod for like ten years and until recently it's always worked well enough but it's started being really inconsistent about downloading metadata. As far as I can tell development on it is virtually abandoned so I'm open to a switch. Does pocketcasts let you set up rules to auto populate a playlist? I currently have one that puts new episodes from feeds tagged "news" at the top, then goes through everything else in release order and puts the oldest five episodes from feeds tagged "backlog" at the end. Hoping this is a basic feature these days. Also did I hear something about pocketcasts being bought out?

PocketCasts is a great app, but I'm not really sure it'll have the hardcore filtering and playlist features you're looking for - it's not really that type of app.

My girlfriend works for a blood donation company and she needs something better than a pen, paper, scanner, and manual input to sign up donors. Initially I considered using Excel forms to do this, but if there's an app out there that does this it would be really nice. The donors would need to be able to pick a time slot that hasn't been taken already, as well as input their necessary information. Is there anything out there close to this?

Is there a good image editing/annotating app out there? I'm mostly looking to do things like cropping, adding annotations (Arrows, etc.) in screenshots and photos. I've used Pixlr, but I'm not a huge fan and am guessing there's something better.
