| Split screen resolved one of my biggest frustrations while driving. Posted: 05 Sep 2016 05:17 PM PDT Having full control over my music player (Spotify) while using Maps navigation. I like to always have my GPS directions in view, but often need to switch songs or playlists which isn't easily done through my car's audio system. I tried using both apps in split screen this weekend on a long trip and it works so beautifully! Here's a screen: http://imgur.com/a/HHrz8 [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 05 Sep 2016 10:37 AM PDT As of today, I am proud to finally introduce Swipe Widget for Facebook - a highly-customizable, theme-able, and beautiful widget that allows you to view your Facebook Notifications and Messages right on your home screen. This has been a top-secret project I've been working on ever since I made this post, and I'm glad it's finally out for release! KEY FEATURES Themes! - Swipe Widget includes themes just as they are in Swipe for Facebook. The default Facebook Blue, Material Dark, and AMOLED Black are available for free, with other colored themes unlockable with a one-time in-app purchase (which includes two NEW gorgeous themes - Transparent Light and Transparent Dark). Multiple Layouts - At this stage, there are two separate Widgets for either just Notifications or Messages, as well as a Dual Widget that has both, allowing you to switch between them with tabs. Highly Integrated - Don't like Swipe for Facebook? That's alright. In Swipe Widget, you can select and dictate where tapping on a Notification or Message takes you! Swipe Widget integrates not only with Swipe for Facebook, but also the official Facebook app, Messenger, Disa, your browser, and other Facebook wrappers you might prefer. Save Battery - Remove the need to have to open any of your Facebook apps to access your notifications / messages, and save battery in the process! You might even Greenify them all and just check the widget every now and then - still stay up-to-date! Customizable Refresh rates - Set how often you want Swipe Widget pulls your notifications / messages. From as little as 5 minutes to every 12 hours! All functionality here is unlocked and does not require any payments, with a one-time donation (via in-app purchase) to unlock all the themes. Quite possibly, the best news is that if you're already a Swipe Pro user, all of this is coming to you for absolutely free! Simply update Swipe Pro to version 4.4! :) Link to Swipe Widget for Facebook Link to Swipe for Facebook Pro Will be here in case there are any questions or feedback. Cheers! [link] [comments]  | ||

| Join vs Pushbullet — a comparison/review Posted: 05 Sep 2016 05:18 PM PDT I've used the free version of Pushbullet for quite some time; however, I despise their monthly subscription fee, so I tried Join to see if it could be an adequate replacement. Here are the pros and cons of each. Pushbullet Pros:
Cons:
Join Pros:
Cons:
They both seem equally reliable, and I've had delays sending/receiving texts on both. I'm not sure which is better on battery life. For now, my main use for Pushbullet — receiving/dismissing notifications and sending/reading SMS messages — is handled more elegantly by Pushbullet than Join. I'll continue to use the free version of Pushbullet, but Join shows a lot of potential and I'm rooting for it. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Why isn't there a use for long pressing the back button? Posted: 05 Sep 2016 06:17 AM PDT ... And the active apps button as well. It seems like it's a bit of a waste. I think one of them would be good for a manual portrait/landscape toggle. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 04 Sep 2016 08:37 PM PDT I use my phone for navigation a lot, and Android Auto running independent of a compatible vehicle would be lovely. I was excited for this announcement, but since then it has been silent. What gives? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 05 Sep 2016 12:33 PM PDT People were able to detect which type of SSDs they got with the SP4 based on the lot numbers, so why can't something similar be done here? Seems like it'd be (cost) beneficial for all involved that they report the known affected phone serials instead of blindly swapping them out. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Android 7 factory images for angler? Posted: 05 Sep 2016 10:59 AM PDT Does anyone know what's the official story behind "missing" images of Android 7 for Nexus 6P? I downloaded and installed the OTA zip a long time ago but it makes me wonder, why this build remains unpublished. Are 6P OTA being rolled out by Google or not yet? My OTA was signed by Google keys and the build number is NRD90M. [link] [comments]  |
