You have to wait for Lollipop to get Google Calendar?
Bomb? I don't expect that, though I don't really expect a massive hit anymore than I would the new Note. Then again maybe more people really have gone stupid mad for stupidly big phones.
I'm looking for a radio app that can:
- record music for offline use
- split that music into tracks
- delete ads between those tracks
Is there an App like that? TuneIn can record radio as far as I know but can it also split the recordings into independent tracks? 7 is a totally ok price for the Pro App if it can do that. Thanks in advance.

Has anyone else has issues with playing videos in Chrome lately? This is what stuff looks like for me now:
Unwatchable. On a related note, YouTube links refuse to open in the YouTube app anymore, they just open on the mobile site. I have cleared the standard app settings and all that, but no dice.
EDIT: Ok, the second issue is apparently a Chrome Beta issue, as the stable version lets me open links in the YouTube app. But the messed up in-browser video is there in both. Maybe it's an issue with the Lollipop preview.

Google already tried this approach and they aren't happy with the results. Time to sell their soul.

Not that this doesn't happen, but I'll honest for most engineers this really isn't the norm. You'll have more than your fair share of good pay and free time to use it.

Haha hopefully. Thanks for the encouragement.
Has anyone noticed that Google changed the app icon for Voice in their Chrome apps list? No change to the Android app yet.

The rest of the thread is just bickering about updates, skins, etc. Don't think any one cares.

To be fair we haven't had any new big news in a while. So the thread got boring. Lol

Google Voice MMS Messaging is now supported on Verizon. Sweet.
Curious, is Google's MMS app better than the given one on the GS4/Touchwiz?

No, google has shown off it's new calendar update with material design. I imagine i'll get it via an update at some point. It took me a few weeks to get the new material gmail, however. I was just wondering if someone had used the new google calendar 5.0 and today calendar and was able to compare.
I just saw it's available for sideload though, so i'll check it out myself....

Hey guys did you know the Nexus 9 has a notification LED but it only works when the device is off and charging?
That reminds me of a company that added NFC to its phones but it only works in one single use case.

Anyone know of any permanent fixes to tags for music. Most music comes up as unknown and i need to fix it and I have this app ID3fixer but it never fixes the the actual issue and only fixes it in the android database but it has reverted back on 3 occassions and its annoying to have to constantly fix this. Its supposed to be able to fix this permantly but it never works so i have to settle for the temporary android database fix option. Anyone know of any permanent fixes?

I do it on iTunes before I import it.
I manually did it using TagScanner.
Depending on where I bought the track from over the years, the metadata could be different. So sometimes I'd have tracks from the same album that would be divided. The album metadata would be exactly the same, as was the artist, only to find out later that Google Music will use "Track Artist" if there is no "Album Artist" listed, so it would be divided simply because it was missing a tag even though the tag it was replacing it with was identical. So I used TagScanner to make all my tags consistent. It'll allow you to manually enter tags or search through several different database to batch process an album. You can also have it organize and rename your library in whatever way you'd prefer them to be. Spent a weekend revamping my whole library and everything is perfect.

From what i can gather the reason why i cant do it with the app is due to kitkat and that prior to that you could do it (im new to android). However i hear that lollipop may fix the issue and is due to drop soon, atleast on my phone from rumors. Thanks for the suggestion this would fix it without waiting for that which maynot even fix it.

Google's MMS app is Hangouts. Except there's the new Messenger one coming with Lollipop, but it's not in the preview, so I haven't tried it yet.
Cool, it works:
Much nicer than the boring gray tabs you normally get. There's a bug though, that makes the color disappear once the page has fully loaded (so I had to snap these screens rather quickly). Will be fixed, I guess.
EDIT: And hey, that one also uses the favicon as the "app" icon. Don't know why my other tabs don't.
EDIT 2: Ok, that also goes away once the page has fully loaded. Well, get these bugs fixed, and this could be pretty nice!

Nice. Though it seems like it would be something that slows the unlocking process down to the point where someone could still figure out your pin if they looked.

Use pattern unlock...? Much quicker than PIN. Less secure too, sure (if you use a long PIN code), but probably secure enough for most people. And a PIN code that automatically unlocks on the last digit is less secure as well, so, yeah.
That's the cloud stuff tho. I just want to put it on my phone locally.
Oh oops. Misread your question. I'm not sure if you can do that the way you can do it with Play Music... but why would you want to? Easy enough to just upload it right? Should sync read progress and whatnot that way too.
I understand it has some benefits but feels kinda weird to use the cellular connection to read something you already have stored elsewhere.

When you are reading a book from Play Books it will have a pin icon in the lower right hand corner. Click that icon and it'll save the entire thing to your device for offline reading. Oh, and I don't mean while you're in the book, I mean the book's cover icon. That's where the little pin icon is.
Pattern doesn't satisfy the security requirement for exchange accounts that require a secured phone. Now, I personally don't use my work account on my phone, but that is a complaint of many.
I don't mind the pattern unlock, but it's far too easy to duplicate after watching a person do it once out of the corner of your eye, plus there can be a line of finger oil on the screen perfectly outlining the pattern.
Honestly, I mostly just leave my phone un-secured (I have Cerberus/Device Manager, so I can at least remotely lock/wipe it). I use TouchID on my iPhone because it's so simple and fast, but for Android I have never been able to keep security on it for very long because it gets too bothersome.
Sweet, thanks.
Kinda wish you could drop it on your device without going via the cloud like you can in google Music, but oh well.

You can. Just drop it via USB or AirDroid in the appropriate folder.
Lollipop has the new instant (and hidden) face unlock. So you can just swipe to unlock every time and no one will see the pin screen. Hand it to someone else and watch them suffer...

You can but you have to use third party eBook readers for that.
Edit: Unless what Vanillalite says is true.. I don't think that worked for me when I was on Jellybean so I never tried it again.

These Google Fall 2014 devices are just disappointment after disappointment. Nexus 9 doesn't even have quick charge, 6 no tap to wake. The more we learn, the worse they are. Come on.Hey guys did you know the Nexus 9 has a notification LED but it only works when the device is off and charging?
More so the 9. I'm still hyped as hell for when my N6 arrives.
BTW ambient display > tap to wake
