Folgendes Szenario: Große Musiksammlung, die nicht auf den internen Speicher des Smartphones passt. Gesucht wird eine Lösung, mit dem man die Musikdateien auf einem Server/entfernen Speicher ablegen und bei Bedarf streamen und/oder die Musik davor lokal herunterladen kann. Einfache, quelloffene Lösungen ohne viel Hickhack bevorzugt. Server ist Linux, Empfangsssystem wäre Android. Tipps oder Empfehlungen?
Ok, I’ve been surprised by a couple people mentioning how long they keep their iPhones. Now I’m curious, how long do you keep your flagship phone (android-based or iPhone) before upgrading?

Si vous trouvez que l'animation des fenêtres dans Android vous fait perdre du temps, vous pouvez changer sa vitesse ou même la désactiver (pour un affichage instantané) dans les options développeur.
Mais les options développeurs ne vous proposent que certaines valeurs (0.5, 1, 1.5).
Vous pouvez quand même mettre la valeur de votre choix avec ces commandes adb :

I could understand if this was happening with identical twins, but siblings is not a good outlook. I believe #Alphabet (what Google calls themselves nowadays) will fix this issue shortly.
Now I need to talk to my iDevice hating brother… 😉
I'm as excited about the rumors of improved desktop modes and video out support for the Pixel 8 as the next guy, but we've fielded these kinds of rumors before.
Currently the only phone I have that can run an Android 14 beta, AND has video out, just did this using the desktop mode in Android dev settings.
Which is even more broken than the A13 desktop mode, which was already almost nonfunctional from the A12 mode.
I really WANT Google to give us a Pixel 8 with a proper desktop or tablet large screen mode, but I'm not getting my hopes up until we see the phone in action.
Schreibt bitte mal kurz welche #Mastodon App ihr auf #Android benutzt. Ich sammle die Antworten und erstelle dann eine Umfrage mit den beliebtesten Apps! #retootwelcome
I'm using the Pixel Tablet w/Android as a "computer" today, and yeah, it still falls short in a few ways.
For touch-based multitasking, I love the new split view, taskbar, and overall setup. But for a mouse and keyboard, it's not there yet, which, fair, they don't advertise it as a laptop replacement!
For anyone curious, here's what I've found so far (thread). I hope this can help inform some good/bad for people designing adaptive experiences.
Show me your current home screen and tell me all the details about it!

Bon je vais le redire, mais vraiment Fairemail c'est - et de TRÈS LOIN - la meilleure application de mail que j'ai pu voir sur Android.
En plus du fait qu'elle respecte votre vie privée et qu'elle est très rapide, elle est bien pensée.
Quelques exemples:
affiche les URL avant de les ouvrir (en mettant en surbrillance le domaine)
peut vérifier le spam (via spamhaus/spamcop...)
peut aller chercher les gravatars/libravatar/etc.

I must be a block head but for the life of me I can't figure this out. I have a Pixel 4 phone I use for development testing. It's still on Google Fi. I bought it directly from Google. It's been off for several months. I'm trying to get the latest OS update and it says that the latest version of Android is 13 not 14. That's fine. But it says the version I have installed, from over a year ago, is the latest version of Android 13. Am I missing something? Forcing it to go out for the update refresh is returning that I have the latest version. Did Google Drop support for a 4 year old phone getting security updates? #Android#Google
Slightly different database question today:
I am interested in online, remote database for my Android Apps
Is there anywhere (cheap/free) that I can use, or do I have to set up my own (I have a domain/website)
I know about Firebase, but that is NoSQL/document-database.
Is there a good guide to #Peertube? What's a good #Android app? What's a good way to discover content? For example, how would I find guitar equipment reviews/comparisons?
Ich bekomme /e/ auf dem Google Pixel 6a nicht zum Laufen. Nachdem das letzte Build-Image fehlerhaft war, ist nun auch das Recovery (recovery-e-1.16-t-20231018342574-dev-bluejay.img) broken. Auf mich wirkt das irgendwie stümperhaft. :think_bread:
Google TalkBack has a new feature in Verbosity settings. Verbosity controls what and how much TalkBack speaks. The option is called "Speak all progress updates: Includes updates while downloading, following driving directions, and more. When turned off, you'll still get less frequent updates."
So, what do y'all think of the wording of this option? I really mean the "following driving directions" part. It really stood out to me, and was yet another reminder that I cannot drive. I mean, I know it's Google. I know that I shouldn't be holding my breath for any kind of great things from them, and that these things are to be expected. But this, in options for a screen reader?
Maybe I'm just being too sensitive as always. I don't know. But goodness, they could have said "walking" directions and it'd be fine. And maybe there's just this "UI" team that writes labels for features, and the TalkBack team didn't actually write the description for the feature. But there just comes a point where language and wording are important, and we shouldn't let these companies control that.
What's a good #android phone to buy for dev purposes? I want something new but I don't need the bells and whistles of a flagship Android phone since it will just be used for testing.
