So I just opened Google+ for the first time and it has a bunch of my contacts who are following me. I'm fairly sure none of them purposefully did this. Does it do a link by contacts phone number or something? It didn't show me as following anyone...

I like how now if I take a picture with the default camera Google Goggles may prompt a notification that it identified something, then when you click the notification Google Goggles tries to pull up and crashes. Super polished there, Google.

So... you'd rather install an app that can stop you from dialing numbers? Just add a contact you lazy bastard.

Does anyone have any recommendations for an app that automatically cycles through space-themed wallpapers? The NASA app used to do that and I used it for years, but it seems like they removed that functionality. I've tried another couple of random "space wallpaper" apps and none of them seem great.

Maker Of Shoes posted:You can try Muzei then add the Muzei Reddit plugin. Worked well for years but recent reviews on Play arm to indicate some are having issues. Could give it a shot. This is perfect, thank you. Had to go into advanced settings and turn if blur as the pictures were completely indecipherable, but otherwise this seems fantastic. Thanks again, never would have found it myself. ElegantFugue posted:Does it have to be actual space, or would fake space work? If the latter, I've been using this one for a while now. Was really looking more for real space pics, but thanks for the suggestion!

Fax a bar code (non-QR) to the airbnb people and require them to print it out, then they can scan it to get in. But seriously, with how popular airbnb is certainly this is a solved problem at this point?

SpartanIV posted:Has anyone been having trouble with email sync? I'm on a pixel with Oreo and the last day or two I haven't received any Gmail/inbox notifications. I have to open the app and refresh manually. I've checked every setting I can find and as far as I can tell synching and notifications are all turned on. There was an update to either Inbox or Gmail lately that weirdly enough disabled notifications on each of my mailbox accounts. I had to go back and re-enable them one by one. Sounds like maybe that happened to you?

Kheldarn posted:I tried Keep, and it doesn't work for what I want to do with it. I use it to store notes for work related stuff. It's senstive stuff, so I don't want it available to any device that can access Keep, just my phone. This sounds like a wonderful approach to the problem.

FunOne posted:It does. Ignore these spergs. Install Signal for extra security or WhatsApp for more users and features. They're both fine. "ignore these spergs. Also install Signal for greater security!"  If we're relaxing the requirements so that the high res photos or videos don't need to actually send as SMS, just use Hangouts.

It's a good solution and it should be mentioned, it's just not a silver bullet solution for a good portion of the internet and shouldn't be a matter of fact "just buy this thing that you can't."

Guess I'm the only one who thinks its s bit strange for a public radio station, funded by the CPB (taxpayers, yes partially) to buy a podcast app. Sure tax money is spent on millions of things, but this strikes me as weird, that's all. If it makes you feel any better I'm just giving you a hard time.

Yeah, I'm not making any changes until they announce that poo poo is shutting down. Google can't keep poo poo straight when they have actual products launched. It's going to be complete chaos before then.

LastInLine posted:Yes and even there it's a set-and-forget situation where you target some folder for auto uploads. My point is exactly that, if it isn't fully automated and completely hands off, then you're doing it wrong. So you're agreeing that you tell it to watch a folder for files and uploads them? If I'm being pedantic here it is because your post was fairly worthless. And I generally appreciate your opinions, but that was a silly thing to say. And yes, it should have automatic duplicate removals or a way to flag them. It's a huge oversight that it doesn't.

I didn't like it because I hoard emails and I don't want something moving things around when I hit Snooze or Done. I prefer the way they are doing it in Gmail these days. But that's just my preference and I realize I am the odd one out here. It certainly had a lot of neat features. It's unfortunate that they didn't just make those settings in Gmail from day 1, but clearly it's easier for Google to spin up new products than it is for them to work on old ones.

You can use Find My Device from Google. It has an app, a web portal, and if you have any sort of Google Home you can ask it to find your phone. The fact that your girlfriend is losing something as important as a phone 2x a day is probably more concerning, but that is for another thread.

I've had 0 problems with Discord except for in the very beginning the way it handled notifications if you were idle on your PC sucked and when I upgraded to P my notifications got hosed up, had to do an uninstall/reinstall. Otherwise Discord has been perfectly fine for me.

Taffer posted:What kinds of playlists are people making that makes the 1000 limit annoying. Assuming normal song lengths that's nearly 3 days of non-stop play. I wanted to make a large playlist of music to pin to my phone because Google Music does not track what songs are pinned to your phone so when you get a new phone you get to do it all over again.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:I saw an article headline the other day that the seemingly-frequent shutting down of Google services is hurting their brand. I can't say I disagree, but to a point. I mean, I use chrome on my phone, I'm only going with Android, I use various Gmail addresses, and I have 2 Google homes. But when they roll out some website/service, I can't help but immediately wonder how long it's going to last. Article in case anyone wants to read it or the comments. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/04/googles-constant-product-shutdowns-are-damaging-its-brand/

I'm sure they're just rolling the functionality into their new Google Now, I mean Google Assistant, I mean whatever they're calling this new itreraton. And I'm sure all the same features and functionality you love will make it over. Hahaha, no of course not.
