Yeah Dropbox probably a fine solution, but I already pay for extra Google storage, and only have base Dropbox storage. Not nearly enough. Also, I guess I haven't gotten deep in Dropbox lately, but their sharing stuff wasn't nearly as awesome as I'd like. Even though g+ isn't that great in general, the sharing is decent.

Thanks for the help!

If you're using more than one cloud solution check out one of these apps to handle all of them seamlessly

I found bloons td 5 to be a really good tower defense game, great get for free.

Thanks for the heads up, some good stuff there.

My Note 4 updated itself to Lollipop a while ago and so far not bad at all. Performance seems a little better and so does the battery. Two really odd/weird things though...

1) The screen randomly turns on when the phone is locked even if there is no notification, any ideas?

2) What happened to phone volume modes (mute, vibrate, sound)?

Hi guys, I've been reading this thread for a while, and I also read stuff on a couple of Android-specific forums. I thought some of you might be interested in this if any of you use, or have used, MailDroid for email. The dev is asking for specific feedback to make improvements to the app.

-I don't use MailDroid or know the dev, I just thought this could be interesting to some of you if you want to give input on potential app improvements.

Is there a way to get apple's new iOS emojis to work on android? Right now when friends sent stuff I just get the classic emoji followed by a square with an X in it.

fyi: the new iOS emoji's allow the user to select a color/race for the emoji they are sending, so the previous yellow face can now be brown/black etc.

How do I get K9 mail app to stop removing emails from the server just because I've read them? God damn this is annoying.

If I open a mail in K9 and read it, I can't go view that email in web portal or whatever because K9 is stealing it

https://github.com/k9mail/k-9/wiki/M...ccountsettings

I see no mention of it here, it's infuriating.

Woah you still use K9? I didn't know they were still maintaining that app.

Who still uses pop accounts? I thought everyone is now IMAP.

It's configured as imap as far as I can tell in K9? I didn't realize this app was OLD NEWS, it's definitely pretty ugly. Got a recommendation? I heard GMail now supports everything.

I use Gmail for Gmail and Nine for my work MS Exchange email account. Nine is the best email app IMO. Currently it's a 2 week free trial and then $10 so when you factor in price value you're probably better off using MailWise or Cloud magic or something.

It's on there.

I'm not deleting anything, just reading it. Doesn't matter I'm switching to cloud magic because that's the best name ever.

Hello all! Any Oneplus one owners here? Experienced any touch screen or battery issues? Considering picking one up. Cheers!

BustoRhymes,


This is a pretty moot criticism. If an attacker has physical access to a machine, all bets are off, because they can just install a keylogger and log every keystroke made. Similarly if someone can exploit a vulnerability and remotely install a keylogger, they can log every key stroke made.

The point of using Pidgin is to secure your communications in transit, using the OTR (Off The Record) plugin. If you want an example of how secure OTR encrypted communications can be, here's a documented example of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigations failing to decrypt an OTR encrypted communication intercepted via a PRISM request.

I've had zero problems with mine but I know people complain about those issues so who knows.

From reading the /r/oneplus it seems most people with those issues are running custom roms/kernels and I don't see too many people running stock complaining as much.

Cloud magic is good, I liked it a lot, easy to set up and I never had a problem with it, I'd still be using it now if Inbox hadn't been released. Gmail the app can do imap and pop now AFAIK so it's another option, personally I kinda hate the current Gmail app but ymmv.

Its not intuitive to set up but now I use Gmail the service to handle my Microsoft live based student email account (imap I guess). That way I can send and receive from it via Inbox (which doesn't let you use imap or pop otherwise) or Gmail on the web (like on my chromebook) etc.

So the other day I was venting my frustrations with android to an apple fanboy friend of mine. Then I flashed the M preview on my N5 the next day and so far I take back everything I was venting about. M feels much improved and polished over lollipop which I had to ditch for kit Kat because of bugs and horrendous battery life. So far battery has been on par with KitKat (3.5-4 hours SOT), which is good enough for me. Hopefully the final version is just as good.

I'm on kit Kat and "android system" is using twice as much battery as my screen. How do I narrow down the cause? My device is unrootable so I can't get good battery stats afaik.

Would someone explain to me why Samsung is ditching the removable battery? with smartphones there's not many things I can point to and say it was an objectively better experience but the removable battery is one of them. it's been such a convenience to never worry about charging my phone (save for a quick battery swap in the morning at my bedside). Long day trips I don't have to worry about bleeding my battery as I've usually got a spare. It's obviously even more useful in places where there isn't a standard outlet everywhere you turn (anywhere not in the US). obviously it's not much of an issue 95% of days but it's more than made up for things in the other 5%. Also don't have to worry about the battery degrading and destroying your phone's efficacy. (degrades at only half the rate at most, and when both fail you can just buy a new battery for 20 bucks).

so what gives??

More closed off design generally allows them to get the hardware a little "better" and get the specs higher. I don't think it's worth it, but I think the thinking goes that higher specs->higher sales, and that hopefully not a lot of people care about the removable stuff.

FYI, the removable battery is one of the multiple reasons I just bought a G4 > S6.

removable batteries seem like a dead issue to me with the ease of quick charging with an Anker charger. They come in all different sizes and you can easily charge a phone wherever.

saw you got the g4? How you like it? My upgrade is on Tuesday and I have the G3 now. Mega first world problems but I'm torn between the 4 and the S6.

Did you get the tan leather back?
