***Official Android Thread Pt 3***

Just had an idea for an app. Steal it if you want and become a millionaire or neg me for being an idiot.
Can the touch screen be developed into a scale? It could be useful when measuring out powders, and of course I realize it could be used for nefarious purposes as well.

I am pretty sure Apple has this, and it is on the most recent commercial they are putting out with the whole work out/fitness commercial.


What is the best ebook reader for Android? Currently using Amazon Kindle, is that the best?

Well, there went one more story I won't be able to put in my autobiography.

what do you guys use to transfer itunes songs to htc one? htc sync is slow a fuuu for me so I got easy phone tunes. It works really well and its super simple, you just hit sync. Only problem is, theres some songs it wont put onto my phone no matter how many times i re-sync. I even deleted these songs that i downloaded and legit bought them on itunes and it still didnt work.

Why would you use iTunes in the first place? Are you homosex?

Ive had itunes forever. Iam not a techno guy. Seemed easy to just continue using itunes. I am unaware of what else I should be using.

whats the GOAT web browser? Chrome is giving me problems lately

[mgftp]

I dunno how many phones the Spigen Neo Hybrid case is made for but just letting you guys know I have never been happier with a case, perfect compromise between protection and aesthetics without adding too much bulk.

[mgftp]

chrome

I think chrome us by far the best, however I don't use it anymore because of the inability to save downloads to SD card, incredible to me that Google hasn't made this is feature that other browsers have had for years.

[mgftp]

since android is based on linux, it should be possible to create a symbolic link to the sd card.

You are talking above my level.

Last time I used Itunes was in 2008 on my Ipod and 2009 on 3Gs. I have a copy of all the music I had in my PC so when I went back to Blackberry in 2009, I just drag and drop from PC to phone SD card. Then I just did the same when I started with android. Just transfer like normal copy/paste from PC to SD. You just have to know where you're saving your music files.

da fuk? itunes? lol


I use MP3Tag to edit mp3 tags and then just drag and drop the files to my phone. The format string option is awesome.

For those who arent aware what that is, here is a link. http://help.mp3tag.de/options_converter.html

Also for a music player on my PC I use MusicBee. (instead of iTunes)

Regarding your question why some songs wont sync is maybe because they are iTunes has them for sale in AAC format and not MP3, that's just a guess though. I would buy songs from Google Play/Amazon MP3 instead of iTunes.

Since I've gotten it, I've converted at least 5 people to this case. Everyone said that the phone should have come this way.

Not a fan of mine for the Nexus 5. Its by far the highest quality case i've used, but for the Nexus 5 it makes it really bulky. Ended up getting a leather flip case, had to sacrifice some protection for usability.

Mine was for the Sammy, I've noticed they're quite different depending on the phone.

Brahs need some help...has google maps been acting funky for anyone else? For some reason when I'm using the navigation it will only show a birds eye view and not the right behind the arrow display...if that makes sense? This is very frustrating. Any ideas???

Did you accidentally switch your view? Try clicking on the 'resume' button on the down left corner of there is one... If there is no button do a screenshot and post it here.

Literally just figured it out...I had accidentally hit the compass button near the top right which locks it into a birds eye view that holds north positioning. Repped anyway.

Hey all I have been scouring the internet for someone with the same issue as me and nothing has come up so lets try this.

I have an at&t S5 for just over a week. From day one I have had a distinct issue.

Whenever I receive a phone call, whether headphones/bluetooth connected or not, my phone no longer will play sound through either option, just the speaker on the back of the phone. I found that rebooting the phone allows me to play music through above options again.

I have not restored my phone yet and was hoping to not have to go down this road but open to suggestions.

Bump because it started again. And yes I have shut off BT altogether and yes I have factory restored the phone.

[jinda628]

I think if that is new, your best option is to have it exchange to another unit. Might be defective. It sounds like software issue but since its new, exchange for less hassle.

On my Note 3, when I have headphones in, it will play alerts through the speakers not my headphones. It's simply chit like this that needs to be fixed. My keyboard comes up in random apps when I'm not using it & I have to go back or exit to remove it and then go back into that. That along with crap texting (overall texting experience from receiving images glitches to slow typing at times) is what's holding Android back. Also, I shouldn't have to close apps myself to save battery life.

Android has come a long way, but as far as simply crap, they are light years behind Apple. Can't wait until they finally fix all the nonsense.

Thats not how it works on my Note 3. Everything is in the earphone or BT earphone when they are connected. Either when I was on stock or custom KK. Was it like that the first time you got it? Have you done a factory reset? I think thats a software issue.

And you dont have to close apps too, android manages that on its own. You're the first Note 3 owner here that I saw who is having problems honestly. Are you on stock or custom rom? What network?

Wireless charging is such a simple awesome convenience, get on it if you haven't yet. 3rd party receivers and pads are so cheap.

BRB, never again fumbling with a cord. Got 3 pads in 3 rooms - pad on my nightstand, desk, and coffee table - just placing my phone down and never again think of charging.

What is this witch-craft that you speak of?



I really need to buy one of those.

Just a link I pulled up quick to show you what I am talking about, you put one of those in your phone and buy a pad. I got a receiver and a pad off eBay for $17 together then a couple additional pads for $10 each for different locations in my house.

I am definitely going to get one of those. I hate looking for a cable all the time. My kids always use them to charge their stuff.

It seems so stupid but it was life changing for me to just not need to have all those cords around, and be reaching and plugging and unplugging all the time, especially at night by the bed when I'd fumble around it the dark trying to find the cord and then successfully plug it in or unplug it.

I bought some USB cables that have an LED in the end because I got tired of fumbling around in the dark for the cables. The wireless charging though if perfect.

What is the best method to transfer all information between stock androids? I've been looking into My Backup Pro as that seems to be the best choice and only costs $4.99 although apparently none of these programs transfer app data (you have to be rooted to do that and I'm not keen on rooting my new phone).

I am no Android expert and maybe things have changed, but I remember reading root is needed to get app data from many apps.

Besides app data, if you just want to transfer other stuff such as media from one phone to another one time I would just plug into a Windows computer and drag and drop files.

Your Google account will automatically backup contacts, calendar, etc, as long as you have it setup to do so.
