    Pixel 5 & $699 price

    Yep. I'll take it. This is exactly what I wanted in 2020. I'm glad this company decided to neuter last year's version, I don't want face unlock or hands-free gestures. SD765G that balances power consumption and performance, awesome Pixel camera now with Wide Angle, vivid OLED, waterproofing, and...

    questions about nexus 7 to tv connection kits, cables? and chromecast

    The feature you want is coming to Chromecast very soon, they built it to our Nexus with the update to Android 4.4.1 and now the only thing that needs an update is the Chromecast, hang in there my friend I'm sure they are just fine tuning it right now.

    Buying phone as gift, bad idea?

    The Moto X on Republic Wireless is a good idea, then you're not forcing them to buy a smartphone plan, unlimited talk and text is just $10/month and the phone is only $299

    Nexus 5 wifi calling

    The best app for this is GrooVe IP, it works great over cellular and wifi, you can set it to stay running in the background and run on startup. I have been using it as the primary phone on my Nexus for over a year

    Is it too late to get one?

    I have a Snapdragon 600, and after using the Snapdragon 800 I would not recommend getting anything but. Might as well, they are the same price and definitely more future proof, the 800 supports always listening voice control that could be added to Android later, while the 600 does not. Get the...

    Verizon LTE NOT supported on LTE Nexus 7

    Don't worry you guys! The only thing we need is a dummy IMEI from a VZW iPad or Galaxy Tab or something. For instance, I know that the ATT GTab IMEIs range from 354021049000001 through 354021049999999 and you can use any number in between to change a line on ATT to $10/month tablet plan. Would...

    GPS Help

    Inside maps, zoom out until just the whole area on the map that you need for your trip is showing, then type "okay maps" into the search bar and press enter, it will cache the area of the map that's showing onto your device so that you can use it without WiFi.

    Android UI so dark???

    The dark UI serves a purpose on the Galaxy phones, they use AMOLED displays that only draw power for the pixels that have to be lit, so pixels left dark or black use little or no battery power, while white uses the most.
