If Apple actually does announce iMessage for Android, would you use it?

Posted: 13 Jun 2016 08:23 AM PDT

Yes.

My only problem would be that fact that they'll probably stick to their own design philosophy for the app.

Since we're not getting iMessage, let's talk about how we can build unified messaging

Posted: 13 Jun 2016 06:33 PM PDT

Google, you've given us Hangouts, and Messenger, and now Allo.

You expect the average person to figure this out? This is a person who walks into BestBuy and buys the newest "Galaxy." We need a better messaging solution. No matter who you're talking to, you should be able to enter in their phone number and it will choose the best way to contact them. Of course you have a problem with the fact that people don't use the Google sanctioned SMS app in the first place (whether they use Samsung's app, Textra, GoSMS, what have you) so, let's address this. You need to actually allow other apps to send and receive these messages too.

So here's my plan. First, take Hangouts, build it straight into Google Play Services so everyone has it. Make the API available so all SMS apps can make use of the platform. Let the SMS apps handle the hot swapping between SMS and Hangouts. Integrate your Allo features into the Hangouts protocol. Some lazy devs may not implement every one, but it's something. While you're at it, make sure Google Voice messages are coming through this protocol.

Then, you already have built a good messaging app, Messenger. Integrate your new Hangouts API into that. Job done.

I realize Google may not be reading this, but I'd like to at least spark some discussion about what I believe is one of the last things needed to make this platform truly great for everyone, not just the techies.

A Smart Band For Your Dumb Watch?

Re: Facebook killing their Notifications RSS feed - I've got a Workaround!

Posted: 13 Jun 2016 02:20 PM PDT

Dev for Swipe for Facebook here. As most of you guys here must have probably heard about by now, Facebook has just recently killed their RSS Feed for notifications (amongst other things). There was a post here previously if you'd like to read more about it.

Basically, there used to be an RSS Feed you can access via www.facebook.com/notifications.php. This has since been removed. So if you've been using any wrapper app lately and haven't gotten any notifications, this is the reason why.

This was a very big hit for us developers of wrapper apps as practically all of us were reliant on this for app notifications. I've been working really hard for the last week on this (which was only exacerbated by the fact that they up and went Install Messenger on us again), but I have FINALLY come up with a solution that does not use the RSS Feed, but also fetches notifications in both a more reliable and a more stable way - basically a lot better than before! I've already shared my solution with the devs of Folio and FaceSlim, but if any wrapper app devs are on this subreddit that are looking for some help (I mean, there's like 2/3 a million people subscribed here - I'm sure there will be), I am here to help. Just send me a PM and I'll send you my solution as to how to tackle this issue.

I'd really love to spread the love around with regards to notifications and get all other wrapper apps up and running as they used to. It doesn't matter if you're on Swipe, Metal, Folio, Toffeed, etc. My solution is for everyone. :)

I would also like to reach out to everyone here on this subreddit. If you're using a wrapper app in which notifications have recently broken, please send an email to your wrapper app's dev about this! They may not even be aware of the issue (I wasn't til 3 days ago!). Of course, I am exceedingly more than happy to help if you'd like to send them this way.

If this seems strange, the reason I'm so adamant on helping others - I mean, helping the competition is kinda strange, no? But the reason is because Facebook has been a real bitch lately. Putting up with their shit has been getting increasingly difficult, and I can only imagine it'll only be getting moreso in the future, so we app devs need to get on this together. And of course, whenever we can get some help from on r/Android - that would be so very much appreciated!

So please, please, PLEASE I implore you not to leave a negative review if something like this had affected you. This isn't the dev's fault and I am sure that they are pushing out a fix as soon as they possibly can. As much as Facebook throws us these curveballs, I (as well as many others) am here to see that there is another and another and ANOTHER workaround made for it! We can do this r/Android! We can do this together!

Ctrl-v to paste works in Android

Posted: 13 Jun 2016 12:23 PM PDT

Even if a clever app dev decides to prohibit pasting using long press.

Hacker's Keyboard has a control key in landscape mode.

This might be old news, but I was relieved to learn it.

What sites or services do you use that work perfectly well without installing its app on your phone?

Posted: 13 Jun 2016 06:56 AM PDT

Because we all furrow our brows when we see that "Install our mobile app!" pop-up.

And on a side note : What sites or services do you use that works even better when using the mobile app?
