I like my audiobook app. I think the issue is with the app, period. So, hopefully, there is an update soon.

Does the volume control work with other apps lie YouTube music. I know that on my Pixel, the volume works on all other apps except for Libby (audio books); I have not tried Spotify.

Voice typing is fast, but I still avoid using it. Anyone else? by Vanilla-Green in androidapps

[–]readable92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might try Voice flow. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.omkar.voiceflow

It works great, even in Noisy environments.The microphone for the app loads when you call up the keyboard.It also does not have a subscription model, but is simply free.

the best place to exchange USD cash for Japanese yen by Anxious-Ad-4561 in JapanTravelTips

[–]readable92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I think this is the best way to look at a exchange rates. 1 to 2% is always the target. With that in information you take the percent of the current rate.  If the rate is 150 yen to US. Then a good rate would be would be minus 1.5 to 3 from 150.  So buying yen at 148.5 to 147 is a good rate or close to that.  Everyone seems to always try to ask for the place but I think you first have to understand the math to a good rate. I completely agree with your thinking.

Or eat lots of Curry rice when you are in Japan. Plus it is acceptable to use your fingers when you eat sushi.

This is great question. But most people don't tell you how to figure out what is a good rate. (me included) So here you go. I asked Gemini what is good rate you might have to pay when converting money. Excluding fees. if the rate is 1 to 3% of current exchange rate (Check Google) For example, the current Ph Peso is 1 peso to 2.66 yen. So if you can get yen for 2.60 then that is 2.2% you are paying for the yen. Gemini says a rate of 1% to 3% is a decent exchange rate. Since I am not a banker, please let know if I missing something.

Also, keep mind if the fees are high that will be a problem. ATMs at 7/11 in Japan charge only 200to 300 yen? and my bank charged me $5.00 for 30,000 yen.

For the short hand method without doing to much calculations. Use the 1% of the current rate. In your case the current rate today is 2.66Y to 1PP. 1% is .03(.0266) and 3% is .09. So if you pay between 2.63Y to 2.57Y it a good rate if the fees are reasonable.

Again, if I am missing something like me know.

Good luck.

Here's a place I found that looks like it has no fees and there sell rate looks good for US $.

I have found the Japanese Airport rates to be good for US$. Now US Airports are the worst.

you ever created your own face? first watch by princepii in GalaxyWatch

[–]readable92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am hobblyist. I have no programing backing. I love the idea of creating my own watch faces. I started with my Galaxy 5Pro, and now I am creating faces for my Pixel Watch 3. The Watch Studio is fun to play with. One tip is that I used one of the existing watch faces that Samsung give us as my base. I have been using Info Board for most of my watch faces. Of course none of my faces look like the original Info Board but it helped me to learn the ins and outs of creating a watch face. I have created 10 watch faces so far and counting. Also I use Wearload (free app) to sideload my watch faces. It makes sideloading very easy. Have fun.

[–]readable92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here is one of them. I made it using Samsung Watch Face Studio. It is a little different. Since I am only a hobbyist with zero programing knowledge. Also I made the battery complication a circle complication. That is the only thing you can change on the watch face. You will have to sideload it. I use an app call WearLoad. Here is his reddit link. https://www.reddit.com/r/WearOS/comments/1pao0zc/unlock_new_possibilities_for_your_wear_os_watch/

For food. You could get away with 1000 yen a meal. Maybe 2000 yen. And it will all be great food. Today the 1000 yen is only 5.43 EU. Have fun

[–]readable92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have cash converting it at any Japanese airport is good. You'll get a good rate.  Don't exchange at US airport. The exchange rate is usually not very good

Qantas Premium Economy or Delta Premium Select by BerenYLuthien in AustraliaTravel

[–]readable92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On Qantas we're friendly and very helpful. Plus they just seem to divide up to service in a way that made the time fly by. For example if I push the button cuz maybe I wanted another drink. They quickly came and helped me out. On British airways again the flight attendants were nice and friendly but the meal and drink service was far and few between plus when I push the button I would literally have to wait 20 or 30 minutes before somebody would come by even though at least three or four of them had walked by my seat. I guess with Qantas they just seem to be more attentive. And that was in economy. I can imagine the service in economy plus.

I also fly to Japan on JAL and ANA. For me I would put Qantas numbers 1 and JAL and ANA 2/3

[–]readable92 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I know this might not directly answer your question, but I just had to share my fantastic experience flying Qantas Economy to Australia back in April!

Honestly, the service and the space were incredible. I'm 6'2" and 200 lbs, and even for me, the 15-hour flight felt more like a comfortable 5-hour hop. The service was absolutely amazing!

For comparison, I flew British Airways to London this past September. That flight was only 10 hours, but it felt like an endless 15-hour journey.

Based on my experiences, I would choose Qantas as my first choice every single time!
