did Hangouts come preinstalled on your device?
So I just installed iHeartRadio on my HTC One. I was listening on my way into work today, and I exited out from the app's menu when I lost connection after the subway went underground. It was fine until I got to work, but a few minutes later my phone started playing the radio station that I was listening to. I looked at my phone and there was no icon up top for the app running. So I opened iHeartRadio and exited out again, which turned off the radio station. One minute later my phone starts playing it again with no icon showing that the app is running. This time I open the app again, hit start, then stop, and then exit. This was a few hours ago and it hasn't started playing on its own since the last time.
Anyone else run into this problem?

The power button on my S3 died last night. Dealing with getting this fixed/replaced will be a bitch but in the meantime, is there an alternative way to turn the phone off without having to wait 15 seconds? A widget or something that acts as a power button?
It's not rooted, and it's on 4.1.2

Is tehre any good recipe apps? I'm familiar w/ Epicurious and Allrecipes and things like that, but I find plenty of links to cooking blogs, or I've got pictures of recipes I've taken w/ my phone and just refer to the pictures when cooking. Is there some sort of app that will collect these links and photos into one general app-umbrella for easy reference?
Or is my best bet downloading an app and manually inputting the recipes, ingredients, etc from the links/photos, etc? I'd rather not do that as it's awfully time intensive.

I've used Paprika, which I love on the desktop—but the Android version is pretty sketchy. So then I tried Evernote Food, which is awesome because I use Evernote so much, and can just use the ordinary Evernote Web Clipper to pull recipes in. But then I realized that it was easier to actually FIND my recipes with the ordinary Evernote app (Evernote Food doesn't organize them much), so now I just use that.
So my recommendation is just plain Evernote, with a notebook specifically for recipes. Or if you just gotta have something that feels like a recipe app, Evernote Food. For what it's worth, Evernote Food does have a pretty cool recipe discovery thing built right in.

i'm guessing you'll need to root and remove it, then install an APK of the older app.
i also use Evernote for recipes.
I need somebody to do me a favor. If you could extract the .apk for the Crunchyroll Manga app for me, I would be very grateful, the app is blocked here in Germany. An easy way to do it would be to install it and extract the .apk via Apk Extractor for example.

There is an app that uses the proximity sensor to turn the phone on or off. Forgot the name of it though.

I use simple cover lock. It's free and I'm also not rooted.

Heh, nice work there, Divvy.

Asking again, anyone knows any widgets for Gmail that have a nice skin, hoping for something that looks minimalistic with white font and dark transparent background. Thanks
These widget modifications break update compatibility, if I remember correctly.
You're also trusting that the user did no modifications to the apk that could harm your device.
Aww yiss, that's what I'm looking for. Thanks!
One that reads my texts for me when the screen is off and my headphones are plugged. Very helpful, imo.
I'm going to make another one where it will give me a choice to open a music app when i plug earphones in.
I did that earlier and it already kinda bugged me cause I got a voice message in whatsapp, plugged headphones in and boop music app
not such a hassle to go back specially since I barely get something like a voice message, but just in case there's an option for tasker to bring up app options, as in a drawer showing you media apps once you plug in the headphones. Might be better suited
I have one that puts my notifications on vibrate when the screen is on and back to loudest when its off. think that's the one that gets most use. dont really need for my phone to be beeping all over if im looking at it

Have you guys seen hellotext? It's a SMS app like Textra but has a really cool tabbed interface. Lightweight and fast, too.

I like the look of that and I'm kind of getting tired of GoSMS. Gonna give it a try. Thanks.

Does it have pop up SMS settings? That's really the only feature I care about.

I don't know about giving you a choice, but such an option is available in CM10.1 (and I'm assuming AOSP based roms): http://i.imgur.com/hpQQCGY.png

So fucking annoying, especially with group texts, so I'd like to know this too.
It doesn't. The app looks nice, but as far as features go, it's bare bones. It also doesn't let you know you've received a notification at all unless you open the app and check. :/
you can put it on silent... not the ideal fix but atleast it wont interrupt music.
Silent all the time. If you unplug your earphones you'll need to turn it off silent again.

Download Tasker.
Set it up to mute notifications when headphones are plugged in. Will reverse when unplugged.
Can do same thing if blue tooth is connected.
I dont ussually go for third party sms apps but im gonna give this a whirl since default can be pretty slow. Thanks
wish there was a contacts app with the same look to go with it

Been using this for a week and a half or so and it's great. Good performance and a nice UI, look and feel.

Trying out Hello Text. Looks nice but it's very jerky sliding the tabs. Only app that's not smooth.
couple of my pics from Hellotext since I dont think the store page does a good job of showing it
really dig the fact that you can mark messages as "read" directly from the notification bar too
themes/different colors would be nice but I guess that's safe to assume it'll come eventually

Mm that looks sexy. How well does it handle MMS?
I randomly sent a pic to a friend but he didnt respond
, but it seemed to work fine
camera button lets you take a pic and browse all images with an in-app gallery:

Man even that interface looks good. Might try this out once I get my N4 back. Thanks for the screens btw, the ones on their app page say absolutely squat about the actual app.
