So I just got my Note 9. Last Note I had was the Note 4, and I used the S-Pen to play the poo poo out of some Kairosoft games. But for some reason, Dungeon Village isn't recognizing the Note 9 S-Pen. Any ideas?

I actually really like the Samsung Health app that came pre-installed on my Note 9. It tracks steps automatically, but it won't track distance (and thus, trains) unless you specifically activate the "Walk"/"Run"/"Hike" activities.

I'm not getting email notifications, I only really noticed it today when I saw your post about the calendar. I think it must have something to do with my setup when I switched from my OG PixelXL to the Note 9. I have Google Inbox installed, which I didn't use on the Pixel, but as far as the options go it *looks* like everything is set up to notify? The app is connected to my account properly; all my emails show up in it.

H110Hawk posted:OP needs Signal for SMS/MMS (And a warning that if you stop using it you must shutdown your account cleanly) I really don't understand the appeal of Signal. I get its got ~encryption~, but good loving luck getting anyone else to switch to it. poo poo, I don't even know anybody who uses Whatsap. Also apparently Signal has some issues with not notifying you of received messages until you actually open the app.

Can't you just use Calibre to put the external books on your Kindle? Unless you're saying that you use more than one Kindle device and that Document's thing allows you to keep them synced to the same "I've read this far" point across multiple devices?

mango sentinel posted:Holy gently caress they just straight up ruined PocketCasts I know! Whenever I started a new podcast, I'd sort oldest-newest and then as I worked through the backlog I'd just delete the listened episodes and they'd jump to the bottom and be hidden. Now I have to scroll through a bunch of played episodes to get to the one I'm currently on. Also, it's shrunken the UI and just looks janky.

Is there a way to get the "chat features" in the Google Messages app on devices other than the Pixel3/XL? I'm on a Note9 on Verizon and realized that I didn't have any of the features Google was claiming justified killing Allo, only to find they're ostensibly for Pixel only?

LastInLine posted:Not that I don't empathize but to paraphrase John Belushi, you hosed up--you trusted Google. You're not going to find anything that treats email anything like how Inbox did. I was a big fan of it too you'll just have to find a different system. Only kind of related, but this is basically exactly what was going through my head when reading about Google's announced game streaming service. Like, why would I pay Google a bunch of money for access to streaming games if said game library is going to vanish, or at best stagnate, in 2-3 years? Google has a well known fear of commitment.

I stopped getting notifications from the Gmail app when I switched to Inbox, but now that Inbox is going away, I uninstalled it and wanted to go back to the vanilla app. But I'm not getting push notifications from the normal Gmail app. It's still processing emails I think in real time, because I get a Google Now notification for example when a package from Amazon ships/is delivered. Although maybe that's reading from SMS delivery updates? But I'm not getting a Gmail notification.

BisterdDave posted:I think around 2011-ish I gave Spotify a try. Every song I streamed was somehow being downloaded to my phones internal storage as well (same thing happened to a friend who was using the app too). After about a week of using it my storage said Spotify was taking up ~1GB. Does it still do this, or was I stupid and forgot to uncheck some setting? Spotify caches songs as you play them to minimize data usage in case you want to listen to them again as well as to buffer if your mobile network is poor. It only keeps a certain number of the most recently played songs. If you specifically tell it to make a song/songs available offline, it permanently caches those songs separately from the streaming cache, and keeps them indefinitely until you tell it to stop keeping them.

Is there a way to get Google Drive (or Onedrive) to keep a file synced between my computer and my phone, in a way that makes the file on the phone accessible to other apps? I have a Gameboy Emulator on my PC and my Phone, and I'd like to keep the game saves synced such that I can stop playing on one device and resume on the other with the same save. I have the save files in a folder on Google Drive, but it appears to Drive does not maintain a folder on the phone the same way it does on the computer, rather the phone app lets me browse what's stored in the cloud and select items to download manually. I even selected one of the save files in the Drive app and selected "make available offline", and it says it did so, but I can't find a Google Drive folder on my phone storage or SD card when browsing the file system with the system file browser.

USA here: I don't know anyone at all who uses an alternative messaging app other than occasionally sending a message over Facebook Messenger. I suppose my little brother, who has an iPhone, might use iMessage amongst his friends? But all of my friends/peers just use text messages, the occasional Facebook message, or the even rarer Discord message. I don't know if it's just my friend group, or my age (28) or what.

This probably isn't the perfect thread, but I have a question about Gmail. I have a filter set up to automatically mark as read and archive any email that comes in with an "Unsubscribe" link. That works like 99% of the time, but every once in a while someone from my contacts will for example forward me something that has that in it, and thus that email gets filtered. What can I change/add to the filter rules to make it not apply to emails coming from my contacts?

Ever since I got my Galaxy Buds, my Note 9 has been Text-to-Speech reading the name of anyone who calls me, regardless of whether the phone is set to vibrate or silent. I can't figure out what setting changed and how to disable it. Since I use the earbuds for music, not for Bluetooth calls, I have no desire for it to ever read the names of callers, so completely disabling this is preferable. Any ideas?

Sir Lemming posted:The skepticism about Stadia is justified, but I also have to remember how skeptical I was of Steam Link back in the day, and it ended up being drat near perfect. WAN obviously introduces more latency than LAN, but I can't really bring myself to call it unfeasible without feeling like Incredulous Man From The Past in a time travel movie. I feel the need to point out that Steam Link was discontinued because nobody bought it. Stadia has potential, but I just can't see Google sticking with it for the years needed to build out its infrastructure in the face of what's almost guaranteed to be very slow adoption.

Uthor posted:For the Pixel Buds, you need to go into the Assistant settings within the Google app to edit how the ear buds work. I'd imagine it'd be similar on a Samsung. Forgot to follow up on this: The phone is still reading the name of callers out loud, even if the Galaxy Buds aren't in use. Like, right now the earbuds are at home and I'm at work, but the phone is still reading the caller ID. As far as I can tell, everything is turned off in the System "Accessibility" settings, and I can't even adjust the Galaxy Wear app settings if the buds aren't connected.

Vykk.Draygo posted:I'm trying to move away from Beyondpod because it doesn't play very well with bluetooth controls. I tried Podcast Addict, and it's fine, but it seems to eat my battery at twice the rate that Beyondpod does. I was going to give Pocketcasts a try, but I see nothing but one and two star reviews on the Play Store page now. Did Pocketcasts become hot trash recently? They released an "update" that removed some much loved features and drastically altered the UI. Personally I didn't use the removed features, and I was able to figure out the new UI, but the update was hot garbage because it removed some things, altered others, and didn't actually add anything as far as I can tell.

Is there a way to make PowerAmp not automatically resume the last song I was playing, or not start up automatically in general, when I plug something into a headphone jack? My personal vehicle has Bluetooth, which doesn't make PowerAmp automatically launch, but my work car has an AUX jack and when I plug that in PowerAmp automatically starts playing the last song I was listening to. But when I'm driving I generally prefer to do audiobooks or podcasts.
