Does Hangouts voice calls work here?

Thanks. That's kinda disappointing. One of the reasons I was willing to put up with having to plug in the phone was that Android now supports audio over USB, maybe audio worked through it as well for Auto. You can still check the difference by making a comparison with the inbuilt mic or a...

So I have a couple of questions. How is the quality of the voice input, especially compared to BT? To test this, you can first connect your phone through BT like you normally would any radio (make sure the "bluetooth headset" option is enabled in the Voice settings of Google Now). Then, make...

Are them Ray-Bans polarized? Most LCD (and OLED, I've learned with the N6) are polarized and at a certain angle will turn black. It's easily fixed with a screen protector though.

Tried it on my Shield Tablet on 5.0.1, didn't work either. Maps for the N9 is another version (arm64), so maybe that's it? In any case, it's encouraging that they're maybe finally fixing this. It's impossible to see traffic at night for alternate routes.

Holy hell, one of my main gripes with Google Maps is the horrible night colors which make surrounding streets and traffic pretty much invisible. Thanks for reporting this! EDIT: unfortunately doesn't work here on my N6. Installed Auto, started it, and nothing. Restarted phone, nothing again.

Would it be possible to edit your first post to let people know that the counter may keep going when one of the random reboots occurs? You can install an app called Reboot Logger to check, and I've also made a Tasker profile for device bootup which posts a notification when it happens. I see a...

They're not related so as long as the app is not buggy (which many, including Google Now/Search on my N4 for a few versions now are) BT mic input should work fine.

If this happens only on WiFi, it is a known problem with the N4, in which notifications come delayed, sometimes by minutes, and which may have been fixed in 4.3, but oddly enough the AOSP JSS build only has the fixed activated, not the OTA build. See here Wifi network connectivity issues and a...

Just looked over at XDA and I think the more definitive evidence is that the Square card reader actually works. Sorry if I sound too skeptical, but if you take a look at the old thread you'd understand.

How did you guys test? If you didn't do this, could you tap on the actual mics (on the tablet, then the external one you're using) instead of just talking? In the original N7 forum at XDA a lot of people believed and reported their mics to work but the actual tablet mic was the one picking up...

They're not saying the games themselves lag, but the audio. This is inherent to bluetooth audio A2DP. Some video apps don't lag and others do, because with video it can be compensated for. iOS does it with most video apps for Airplay, as well. One wireless digital audio standard that doesn't...

Hi, I have the paid 1.2.25 version. I said it is repeatable with the Samsung phone, but I'm still testing the LG phone. It happened once, but I wanna make sure. It takes a bit longer cause I don't use it much, and has no cel service.

Hey guys, I've just noticed a very specific case of battery drain, it is testable and repeatable, at least on my phones. I have an LG Optimus V with CM7.2 and a Samsung Exhibit II 4G with CM9 (I know, they're custom ROMs but it would be nice to confirm if it happens to others). So this is what...

Hi guys I've searched here and googled, but can't find anyone else with this problem. I'm wondering why "quiet hours" isn't working with my phone. As far as I can tell it never has, at least with the latest 2 or 3 ROMs. I have the Optimus V on Virgin (of course). I have another problem too...
