    Was it worth the upgrade

    Couldn't agree more with your post! I also just upgraded from the OG Pixel XL to a 64GB 3XL in Clearly White. Only having used the phone for one day, I can already say the screen, camera, and overall build quality are huge improvements. My assumption is the battery life will be better as...

    Android O - running list of bugs and glitches (and any fixes)

    it can be app-related as well since that would be a direct consequence of the new OS. Thanks for raising that, and I've updated the thread description to incorporate your feedback!

    Android O - running list of bugs and glitches (and any fixes)

    My Nexus 6P (on Google Fi) recently received the OTA for Android O, along with an update last week. Thus far I'm happy to report very few bugs, and even those are more of the "annoying" versus "crippling" variety. What I wanted to do was form a running list of bugs encountered by users so we can...

    MMS not sending through Textra (on Project Fi)

    Thank you! So as it turns out, Project Fi limits MMS to 1MB per message. No one would know that without asking, so I had to find out through their customer service. Once I made that change my problems went away.

    MMS not sending through Textra (on Project Fi)

    It's been the case since I started using the app. Everyone said it's the best out there, so I wanted to take a gander. This is actually my second time trying. I uninstalled and reinstalled in hopes it was a simple glitch, but no dice.

    MMS not sending through Textra (on Project Fi)

    I've not been able to send an MMS (GIF, photo, etc.) using Textra on Project Fi. The native messaging app on my 6P has absolutely no issues. I've tried the workarounds suggested within Textra - switching to Legacy, imposing a message size limit - to no avail. No matter what I get those 3...

    Default Messenger App - labeling old messages "Unread"

    I've been using the default messaging app on my Nexus 6P (Project Fi). Overall it's working absolutely fine except for one annoying glitch. It has a tendency to show very old, long past read, messages in the notification bar. In other words, it'll correctly show a new unread message, but will...

    Should I trade in Moto 360 1st Gen for the Huawei Watch?

    Oh, this one's a keeper for many reasons...and the smartwatch doesn't hurt ;) I'm planning to wear the watch through at least the weekend to see how things progress. Not getting 2.0 is a problem, though. It's tough to justify 2 year old technology with no future OS updates. It might be a...

    Should I trade in Moto 360 1st Gen for the Huawei Watch?

    Wow, that's good to know. As I mentioned in a different reply, my battery went from 100% to 11% in about 8 hours with not much usage. Granted I did some tinkering and typical "setting up the device" stuff, but that's a lot of battery loss regardless. And the lack of future upgrades for the 1st...

    Should I trade in Moto 360 1st Gen for the Huawei Watch?

    Thanks for your response! The flat tire isn't a dealbreaker by any means; it's just a little annoying to have watch faces all cut off at the bottom. The battery life alone may be a good enough reason to trade up. Granted it's only Day 1, however I went from fully charged to 11% in about 8...

    Should I trade in Moto 360 1st Gen for the Huawei Watch?

    Hi! Looking for some opinions here. First, the backstory...my girlfriend surprised me last night with a very nice birthday gift: the Moto 360, but it's unfortunately the 1st Gen. Though the idea of a 2-year old wearable concerned me, I wanted to think positive and try the watch out before...

    Hulu app no HD on Nexus 6p.

    Did you check the settings in the Hulu app? I don't have it myself, but perhaps there's some sort of "optimize for reliability" setting enabled by default. The app might think you have poor reception or something along those lines and has decreased the resolution as a result. In other words...

    Limited Bluetooth functionality in car vs HTC One M8

    Good to know...yeah, it definitely seems like there have been a ton of issues with the 6P's bluetooth connectivity. I need to try completely deleting my device from the car and vice versa, then re-pairing. Otherwise I'm not sure how else to fix this.

    Limited Bluetooth functionality in car vs HTC One M8

    Not that I'm aware of. I searched the Play Store for anything that looked relevant but no luck. Everything I saw seemed completely redundant to the normal bluetooth connection process. That said, if you (or anyone on this thread) is aware of an app I missed, please share!

    Limited Bluetooth functionality in car vs HTC One M8

    I deleted the connection from my car, but I don't remember doing the same on my phone...thanks for that tip! As for the trusted device addition, I did that when I re-paired my phone after deleting but that didn't seem to make a difference. I have a 2011 Hyundai Sonata Limited, so perhaps the...
