Well shit, a few days ago it was there but I just checked and I'm not getting anything in either, no road closings or accident alerts.
There has to be something going on.

There was an update that added advanced calling but also fixed a standby battery drain issue.

Guys I just recently discovered history podcasts on iTunes and I'm blown away, the thing is I would like to subscribe and listen to those podcasts on my Android phone.
Is that possible and if yes what app would you recommend me?
If that makes any difference I'm using Z3

PocketCasts seem to be a favorite
Yes
no
You've gotta admit those Sony Z tablets are sexy as fuk though
Are there any with Material Design?
I'm not quite sure, it's been at least a year since I've tried any other apps. After all the others I've tried all I care about is functionality since I had so many annoying problems with every other app. It's a nice looking app I think.

they look like something i would mount on a wall.
Downgraded back to stock TouchWiz Kitkat. Battery took too much of a hit for me on CM12 being as it's not optimized just quite yet. Don't get me wrong.. it's solid, but just not quite enough for me yet. I just have to remember that Cyanogenmod source is built for many phones and TW is made for just one. Optimizations can be made for TW, but not quite as much for CM12.
G3 started at 32gb, no? Think they'll keep it as base.
No. I have the 16GB, and the battery is terrible.
But I think only Europe got the both the 16GB and 32GB version.
Guess my phone company only had 32. I didn't even get the option when I bought it for my brother last January. 16 isn't doing anything for anyone anymore, though. Every flagship should just go bigger. Bigger storage, bigger battery. We all know they're going for bigger screens anyway.

How stable is it otherwise and how bad was the battery life?
+1 for Pocket Casts.
Which phone? The one I have on Galaxy S4 now is perfect.
As above for me, battery life seems the same in heavy use, but idle battery is brilliant now for me in CM12. Guess it depends how optimised it is as different people are doing different devices.

Guys what calendar app are you using? The latest google calendar is showing just a small portion of a day and 5-days view is very bad compared to what it used to be.
So I need something that will sync with google and that shows your week (or 5 days) a bit better

So is there any word on when the Google (search) app v4 will be coming to non lollipop devices? It's really weird that Google hasn't updated the app for everyone yet.
Yup the new Google Calendar is terrible. I'm just using the stock calendar on my phone.
I have installed Sunrise but haven't messed much with it yet.
This is really bothering me now, got stuck in traffic today and had no alerts since they don't have any on maps anymore

Yup.
Somebody dropped the hammer somewhere on Google.
I'm sitting in Silverthorne, road is closed a mile to the west, the Loveland pass is closed, there are various lane closures on the I70, there are disabled cars everywhere, they are metering traffic through the tunnel, and there are lane closures in Idaho Springs and nothing, NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHING is showing on my map besides red for traffic.
Google owns Waze. There is no hammer to be dropped

it's only when i sit down and reflect hours after i do something like use multi-window to help someone out with a hardware question that i realize just how good multi-window really is as a ferature. hope AOSP gets it someday. and S Beam.

I have absolutely zero interest in multi window on a phone but on a tablet it could definitely be useful.
I could see it really being useful on larger screened phones past 5-5.5 inches. Sometimes I don't like the hassle of switching apps.

Multi window is great. It's the best feature Samsung has added. Comes in handy when watching a conference and reading/posting on GAF. Thankfully Google is confirmed working on it's own version, but will probably do something stupid like restrict it only to tablets until a couple years later when it appears on phones.
S beam though? Meh. Though it would still be good to have on the rare occasion I may need to use it. S beam is Wi-Fi direct, right?

I thought it was NFC?

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Never use it on my G3. To small when you split the apps. Would probably use it on my N7, but I wonder how well shit would run side by side on old hardware.

Yup I know that much.
I'm thinking it might have been something ridiculous like the NTSB or DOT or some obscure patent conflict that caused them to pull it.

Woah Xiaomi comes out swinging!

Not as deep as he thinks
Yep, like I posted here before; browsing GAF and talking to friends on whatsapp is awesome. It's just so convenient not being able to be taken out of your app. Samsung are king of multitasking.

Screenshot, please. A phone is p small. I wonder how it actually looks in use. Messaging and web browsing is exactly all I need.

Speaking of WhatsApp, I wish they'd make it tablet compatible. It's so annoying to reach for your phone every time you get a message, when you're sitting on the couch with the tablet in your hand. I can't think of a reason why it hasn't happened yet.
This should be standard with every chat app.

I blame Germans for not moving to a better app, forcing me to be stuck using this hot garbage.
Samsung's stock one is the best for me. Too bad the widget only works on TW an not Gnow launcher.
I wish more people used Telegram :/
WhatsApp is slow... and still does not support GIFs T_T
I love it on my g3 for watching videos and browsing the web.

Only the initial handshake between the devices is done over NFC, then the actual file transfer is done over Wi-Fi Direct (or Bluetooth, in the case of stock Android Beam). NFC is meant for tiny amounts of data, transferring larger files over it would take ages. And you'd have to keep the phones pressed together during the whole thing.
