The FB app is opening links in its own spy browser again and it looks like they removed the setting to always open external. Or they buried it somewhere in the settings labyrinth. Or I am just blind, can anyone see it? Real answer is quit FB

Is there a decent music/audio player that can play from files and has different playback speeds? One of the podcasts I listen to doesn't have all of its episodes available in the feed, but I can grab them from the website. I'm currently using this thing, but it's pretty lovely. You choose playback speed with a bar labeled (0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75), but the >= 1x stops seem to be (judging visually) 1, 1.27, 1.6, 2(?). The app also doesn't remember my place if it falls out of memory.

Not saying it's not a lovely app, just saying that part of it shouldn't be hosed up.

It was introduced in Marshmallow but if you wanted it on earlier devices you had to hack it together yourself. Some did, but most didn't. Here's a Medium post about some developer who did hack something together because people running Jelly Bean in 2017 probably pay top dollar for apps to support their ancient platform. If you read it, you'll find that they even mention that it doesn't work well.

this is getting into the weeds but exoplayer looks to me like the opposite of what you're saying it is. it's FOSS code made by google and is designed (at least partially) to replicate multimedia tech from newer versions of the OS so that app developers can still target their apps to older devices. the performance problem from that article is just when the app is run in debug mode on certain OS versions (n.b. this will only happen if you are an app developer and have an android device hooked up to the dev tools running on a PC). whether or not hooah's "InPhone Music Player" uses the system APIs, or whether multimedia apps do this in general, seems pretty speculative and imo not the most helpful path to head down here anyway, for the original question: hooah posted:Is there a decent music/audio player that can play from files and has different playback speeds? One of the podcasts I listen to doesn't have all of its episodes available in the feed, but I can grab them from the website. i would suggest just trying any free podcast app that's better known and doesn't look sketchy. i'm sure a few of them can do something like this. unfortunately i don't have any suggestions. i use pocket casts for podcasts, and while there is a menu that says it can load files "from other apps" using an OPML file i only have heard of using OPML files to subscribe to servers comedy option: set up your own podcast server at home to host the files and sync your phone to it over LAN

Lutha Mahtin posted:is this a Play Store policy? if not i don't understand how it would possibly be enforced Nah. In theory, you can do anything on Android that you can do on other platforms, because developers are allowed to write native code. Obviously in the native code there are restrictions, but those restrictions are based around permissions, typically. A situation like this is simply that Java and the Android framework didn't provide tools to do this, and writing low-level native code for something like this is Hard and most app shops are not equipped for that.

Looks like it is, even if it says "powered by Firefox" in the menu (my default browser is Firefox). I'm guessing they still can snoop more than if I can just be allowed to open links in my adblocked browser.

hooah posted:Why the hell does Gmail show the multiple emails notification when there's only one new email? Mine does something strange sort of like that. I linked an old email address to my gmail app and gmail will copy the email into its inbox and give me notifications for both. In the app if I select both for deletion it will delete the copy it made in gmail and leave the other alone.

Didn't happen for me, but looks like you go into settings > folders > window style > mode set it to window instead of immersive.

That's what it looks like in window mode, but it looks the same in immersive. Maybe it's an Android P thing.

My folders don't look like that on Pie, though I did have to go and turn off dock icon labels so some settings did get switched around. Also, double check the setting window/immersive. I had to reset my dock label option twice before it took.

I took a look at their Twitter feed and there's at least one other dude with the same issue so it's probably some weird specific bug. I also neglected to mention that this is on the Beta branch of the app, so it's almost certainly just a bug.

I feel like the quick replies are usually decent for me, but I do wish they were just added to the text input box instead of immediately sent. I understand why they're handled that way, but a lot of the times I want to add something after them.

Very easy to accidentally send. They need at least some kind of confirmation.
