Disabled it on my Synology server and on my Windows 10 workstation, and Solid Explorer is successfully connecting to both with SMBv2. Connecting to to share on the Windows 10 computer works with credentials and with a guest login. Whatever the bug is, it's more specific than SMBv2 being broken.

I set a folder to be shared with "Everyone", then went through the LAN/SMB setup in Solid Explorer, choosing the guest option. When it got to the connection step, it gave an unhelpful "A problem occurred with network communication." message.

If so, guests won't be able to access your shared folders, even if you give permission to Everyone or Guest. This isn't just a Solid Explorer thing; I got the same results when I tried to connect with macOS. As far as I can tell, your options are to disable password-protected sharing or to give Solid Explorer credentials to connect with. If you don't want to disable password protection and don't want Solid Explorer and whatever else having access to everything your Windows account has access to, you could create another account with more limited privileges for this purpose.

Video content on Chrome pauses my music/podcast players, even with mute on and autoplay off. I switched to Free Adblocker Browser, which seems to help, but I'm cautious about relying on an independent project. Anyone experience the same problem on Chrome? Any solutions? Is Firefox a better option?

tonberrytoby posted:Does anybody know how to gain more control over the audio of two media apps.I generally have music running through gpm. The general theoretical answer to your question is "no" but please keep reading. The audio APIs of the Android OS, meaning the ways in which different apps are allowed access to the audio output functions of an Android device (i.e. speaker or headphone output), are designed to be "cooperative". What this means is that each app is given the responsibility to implement its own audio output in ways that respect all the other apps that might do audio output during the same time in which the app itself is doing audio output. This isn't the worst idea in general, and also many combinations of apps+device+os work just fine, but in my personal opinion this is also a chief reason why some of these hair-pulling Android audio output issues exist i will say that you aren't going to get an OS-level solution for your "i want this app to be louder relative to this other app" problem. i don't think this exists on many (or even any) android devices. if the app has an internal settings menu with audio level sliders this will help you. but if it doesn't, i don't know if you will find much help in this particular quest as for the stop/start and audio overlay issues, this inevitably gets into the cooperative-multitasking API issue i talked about above. my personal solution when i have issues here is "get a different app". i know your pain here. i spent months fiddling with free exercise interval trainer apps, and all of them poo poo the bed completely, and repeatedly, when i tried to do the insane challenge of "using this app like a normal person". i set many different music and podcasts apps to "just play this thing" and then loaded an interval training app, wanting to listen to the audio and then (when appropriate) hear an audio prompt to change gears with my workout. none of the workout apps i tried fit this bill. i may be an idiot but that's how it went for me. every single one of them dropped audio, or cut out the music i was listening to, or some other really dumb fuckin thing. i didn't try a lot of the really popular apps (e.g. Strava) because i felt like their data collection policies were wack, so if you're of different opinion there go for it. i also didn't try tons of paid apps, because after trying a few free apps and discovering that all of them were totally incompetent (and seeing that a lot of the big apps were creepy AF), i was quite skeptical that any app not giving a decent free trial was immediately suspect. that's just me though, weirdo guy who is a stickler for certain EULA terms

Yeah, implementations vary between apps. I use Rocket Player to play downloaded music, it has a quite thorough set of options:  Having the option to duck the sound is great, so you don't lose the beat while the navigatrix tells you to turn left or the interval timer beeps.

I noticed yesterday that the camera app on my Pixel XL on 8.0 can no longer do selective focusing in Lens Blur mode. In standard mode, I can choose any point on the screen to focus, but Lens Blur now will only focus the very middle of the screen, meaning I either have to do lovely composition, or have an out of focus subject. Is this happening to anybody else?

Google is up to their third concurrent podcast app now and of course one's in the grave. Not quite their messaging mess but not far from it either: Talk (RIP), G+ Messenger (RIP), Hangouts, Allo, Messenger* Listen (RIP), Google Play Music, Podcasts, Shortwave *Do we canonically consider Voice to be a Failed Google Messaging PlatformTM (FGMP)? I'm leaning no, but could be convinced that we should.

By "temporarily" they mean permanently and by "paused" they mean terminated. So not dead, not even on life support, just abandoned.

Being able to use it for the three out of six SMS-only 2FA I have is nice too, and of course being able to selectively call forward missed calls to use it as the best visual voicemail app on Android is the best.

If I were to frame GV as FGMP I'd go about it by saying that, as a platform that encompasses nearly everything a carrier does including SMS, it could have been easily leveraged into an iMessage-like messaging service. I'm not sure the fact that they didn't try should figure into it. Incessant Excess posted:Wasn't Google Wave another messaging app of sorts? I feel like Wave was more of an email thing?

This is a tiny, silly thing, but is there any way to change WhatsApp's appearance? The app works great, but it's so ugly and I'm a sucker for clean UI refreshes or at least customizable colors like Textra. I assume the answer is no, but maybe I'm missing something obvious. I did change the chat background, but the whole green motif bugs me for some petty reason.

I just use Google Fit as my passive tracker, mainly because the previous version had a really awesome goal widget. The new version still has goals but not the widget.  My history did end up back in the app but when I first got the update it was all gone.

Mine just updated. I like the Heart Points as that's exactly what I want out of Fit. And I didn't use the widget. A Google update that I actually like?! But, weren't you able to set distance, steps, or calories as a goal? Seems like that was taken away, too.

Holy crap you're right, you could definitely do that before. My goals transferred over so I didn't notice but there doesn't seem to be a way to add new ones. It's also been removed from the web app and Google Calendar fitness goals don't show up either.
