The only thing I'm not liking about Google Keep thus far is the inability to do nested/hierarchical tasks. If I make a task like "Get MBA" it would be nice to have sub-tasks underneath it like, "study for GMAT", "apply to schools", etc.

You mean like this?

 

[Mr Hate Coffee]

You mean like this?

Yeah, kinda but that's just creating a separate list. What I mean is like follows (all within one list with the ability to hide sub-tasks):

TO-DO 1/24

• Go to bank
• Get groceries
  • Bananas
  • Lettuce
• Sell items on Craigslist
  • Sort items
    
  • Take pics of items
• Prep for interview
  • Call Jennifer to prepare
  • Go over resume

I have issues with mms period, not just to iPhones. It's not consistent, sometimes it'll work no problems other times it won't. Usually the problems occur when I'm on Wi-Fi, so I'll turn Wi-Fi off and it sends. I can't believe Google hasn't fixed this issue yet. Oh and I use Verizon messenger....the success rate of mms's went up immensely once I started using that app. Still not perfect tho

This and the "cursor jump" issue when typing in browsers are the most frustrating issues in android for me.

MMS (pics/group messages) has never worked over WiFi for me on any phone (I'm on ATT). I know that MMS must be sent over the carrier's network but I don't know if my problems were OS based (only had Android and WP8 phones) or network issue... It's the main reason why I switched to GroupMe....


Is your cursor issue just on the Coli or everywhere?

On Monday January 27th, we’re kicking off our Valentine’s Day sale with an extra sweet deal: $100 off any #MotoX without a contract from 3pm-4pm ET. This deal is only available for one hour, while supplies last. If you miss out, don’t worry. You can get $70 off any #MotoX without a contract through Valentine’s Day.

Moto going hard. That's a nice deal for a good phone

I had the same MMS issue with my Nexus. I had to always turn wifi off to send a MMS. But with my new phone I don't have that problem. It may be related to your phone.

Ahh I see. Nah I dont see how to do that.

I wound up going with ToDoist. shyt even has browser extensions to sync with the app.

On another note, what's the best To-Do List app out there. I wanna be able to create lists and dedicate a homescreen to the widget.

I want that Z1 Compact

I only experience the cursor issue when "swyping" doesn't matter the keyboard type. My work around is to manually type instead.

Wake lock bro. Y'all don't know to diagnose your device

It could be something else but wakelocks are the first place one should check IMO.

Diagnose them first using Better battery stats or Wakelock detector.

I shouldn't have to do this shyt to have a working battery. I checked that wake lock detector and it said I have to root my phone or took me a 20 page slideshow on another method. I don't have time for that
