most annoying fucking shit happened to my phone: whenever I listen to music in Spotify or podcasts on Podkicker the player starts to skip to the next track or pause by itself. It kind of reminds me of those portable cd-players you had in the beginning of the 00s. It's not an issue with all playback because it doesn't happen when I have Relax Melodies on. Like a portable cd-player it seems to mainly happen whenever I move, sometimes I can walk or run for a while and nothing happens, other times it will happen if I'm on the bus and the bus hits a bump in the road or something. I've found that it's usually fine for a while after a restart of my phone and then it starts fucking up again. It's so annoying because it seems to be such an irregular problem. I guess I could make a factory reset but it seems like a lot of work.
PSA: If you have a droid or use the Google play store and want to listen to podcasts (such as welcome to nightvale!!) there's a super awesome app called podkicker and it updates frequently AND if you have to stop listening in the middle of a podcast and come back the next day it will start back up in the same place!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Replacing Google Listen on Android
I have a low-end Android smartphone from Virgin Mobile, an LG Optimus V VM670 running Android 2.2.2. Yes, I need a new phone.
The Google Listen podcast app stopped finding new episodes today. It took me a few hours to realize that this is because it hooks into the now defunct Google Reader to get my subscriptions. Just to get up and listening to podcasts again, & because I'm cheap, I downloaded PodKicker as a replacement.
I subscribe to about 30 podcasts, & so I don't want to re-enter them. PodKicker has an option to import OPML files, & when ran it, it did find some podcast feeds to import, but they aren't the ones from Google Listen. Actually, I have no idea where it got the feeds it imported, but at least I discovered that there is a way to import. I just have to get my Google Listen items in that import somehow.
I logged into my Google account & found an option to download an archive of my Google Reader data, hoping to find an OPML file I could use for the import. I found a subscriptions.xml file that seemed to fit the bill, hacking it so that it included just the <body> element <outline title="Listen Subscriptions" text="Listen Subscriptions">. I renamed it with an .opml extension.
PodKicker doesn't say where it looks for OPML files to import, so I wasn't sure where to put it in the Android file structure. I noticed a .opml file already in the root of the Android file hierarchy, so I just copied my GoogleListen version in the root as well. When I ran the import in PodKicker it did indeed discover my subscriptions, so success!
