I use AdGuard's DNS. It does go down very rarely and there's an RSS feed you can sub to so that you know if it does.

Looking for an app that can bind a hardware button press to a tap on the screen in a specific location. For example, pressing L on a gamepad would functionally be the exact same as tapping some space in the lower lefthand side of the screen.

Hello thread. I've had it with Google changing Chrome's tabs/groups/open-in-new-tab UI and it's time to finally switch to something else. Is Firefox still the go-to, or should I give Opera a chance? Kinda hoping I can import logins and payment information into whatever new browser I install

We're looking to replace our lovely Spectrum cable account with streaming services. Is there an app that will alert me when a new episode of a show airs? I tried Watchworthy and that was not the answer, unless I missed the part where I got an alert/notification. I figured that if such an animal exists, goons would know, or at least help out with a suggestion.

I use SeriesGuide https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.battlelancer.seriesguide Looks like notifications are a subscription service. I just use the free tier and check periodically. The app works okay, but it looks at, I think, TVDB, so sometimes I get alerts for things hadn't aired (if there's a skip week) or miss episodes until they are updated in the database. But works fine for most mainstream shows. It's not cross platform and I don't know how well the backups work for moving to a new device. I recall having some issues last time I switched, but that was years ago.

I just sync SeriesGuide to trakt.tv which is free functionality and there are tons of trakt.tv apps on other platforms. It keeps everything in sync too across devices so you don't really have to worry about backups.

I was literally about to ask for something like that. I just finished setting up all my consoles on Rawg.io so I could combine all my game libraries into one (mostly to stop me buying duplicates of game I already own like an idiot) and was wondering if there was something like that for subscription services. SeriesGuide with trakt.tv might be my best bet for combining watchlists. It looks like tract.tv scrapes the netflix and Plex watchlists, but does it do it for Amazon Prime too? If not, I'm sure I can add everything manually, but if I can avoid some work I want to.

I'm in that minority (?) that doesn't mind desktop Chrome but is hating the mobile version more and more. But if I want sync across devices, I have to either also switch to desktop FF or deal with Chrome on mobile.

I've got an old Nexus 7 that's too slow and janky to do much so I figured why not set it up as a picture frame and sit it on my desk at work. Anyone know a good app for that? The first result I got on Google suggested Fotoo but it's $25 for a version that doesn't pause to a 5 minute timer every now and then and I'm not paying that.

Looking for Android Auto advice. I used it in my mom’s car to drive to the mall like 3 weeks ago and it worked fine. I got back in to drive home and my phone isn’t connecting at all. Her car was in the shop and I used Auto in the rental no problem. She has her car back and Auto isn’t connecting again. Her phone works fine with her car. I don’t have another car to troubleshoot with, but like I said, my phone worked fine in the rental. Tried erasing the cache and app data. I can’t delete the app as it was preinstalled, but I did disable and enable it. I don’t know how to roll back updates. I deleted all the vehicles in the Auto app. Auto launches just fine as a standalone app. I vaguely remember seeing a pop up notification about car mode, but I was driving at the time and didn’t read it too closely.

BonoMan posted:Auto is garbage and will never work reliably no matter what you do. Yeah, that's why I wasn't bothered by my car not having it (though I may retrofit it in the future as BMW wants $100/year for map updates  ). Was just hoping someone had a magical tip to try. It seems like my phone doesn't even realize that it's plugged in (though it charges).

What kind of car is it? The new BMWs have wireless android auto, so it might require some stupid extra setup to work as expected.

I know this is anecdotal but we have a 2015 CR-V and certain phones just won't work. I've had several motos work totally fine and then others connect fine once and then never again. Nothing ever fixed it

Obviously trying another cable is step one, but my experience with AAWireless and its launch problems with Mazdas is that the specific issue of a device working once and only once with a specific head unit is caused by a timing issue on the car side of things. Obviously without an intermediary such as AAWireless there's absolutely nothing you can do about that.

My AA works pretty well but ever since they took away Google Music I can't find a decent MP3 player to interact with my car for poo poo. I use Amazon Music free version but I can't use voice commands and half the time the songs won't play unless I unlock my phone, take it off of Automobile mode and gently caress around until I can get to my offline library and go from there.

I've been using weather timeline for ages but between it feeling pretty bad at actually predicting weather recently and a friend mentioning offhand that they think they remember it getting bought out to siphon data away I'd like a replacement I don't use a lot of the features too often, just the persistent temperature notification and the widget, but I have liked the radar in the past

It has widgets, but I almost never look at my home screen so I can't make any comment about them. The persistent notification is good though, and pretty customizable.

I have Appy too, and when you have DarkSky as your weather source, I felt it worked pretty much the same as the old DarkSky app. I also used some rewards bucks to try out their $10/year tier with foreca as my weather source. Seems almost as accurate as DarkSky, but doesn't constantly give me rain alerts on rainy days. I haven't had enough pop up showers to really test the accuracy there yet.

For local showers and severe weather alerts, I use Rain Alarm Pro. I can't see the price having already bought it with survey bucks but I remember it being pricey, however it's got a great privacy policy and a responsive developer which is why I picked it over some other similar, popular radar app that was recommended at the time I bought it. Default config has been as reliable as Dark Sky was for incoming local showers and the radar is nice to have. Not really a weather app though, and I just use Google Weather for that since that site which compares APIs in your local area said that Google's provider was the most accurate for me.

I've moved to LineageOS and try to use FOSS apps as much as possible nowadays (  ) and for weather checking, Geometric Weather (Google store link) beats all the commercial / ad-ridden apps I had before. AccuWeather data so it's pretty good on that front as well.

Does anyone know of an app where you point your camera and it overlays what is there based on a map. So if you're out hiking and point your camera in a direction it'd tell you the towns/landmarks in the picture? Tried searching but failed miserably.

woah, after years of loving around with different basic image editing apps that never worked very well, i finally found one that's relatively full-featured with a somewhat decent interface...despite being marketed towards children ages 6 and up: Pocket Paint is this well known outside of elementary schools? lol. it actually has multi layer editing, full transparency support, and by-pixel image resizing/compression that just works. it's also ad-free. only thing i wish it had (or maybe i just haven't figured out) is a selection tool.
