Re: Aggravated with iOS /Android back and forth I have had every Nexus since the Nexus one (which I left the iPhone3G for) so I have been very loyal to Android and Google. This week, after dealing with my nightmare nexus 6P bluetooth issues and Google telling me that they aren't going to do...

HTC's Nexus Android of the HTC! The HTC's Android victory

Here is my watch: I really need a new one clearly. Thanks for the contest Phil!

Re: How do I display battery %? Stock android does not show the percentage in the bar, but there are several apps (like everyone has listed above) that will do it for you. The quickest way to see your actual percentage without an app is to pull down the notification bar with two fingers (or...

Front - White Back - Teak Trim - Metallic Blue I have had so many black slabs (You know I still love you Nexus 5) that it was time to mix it up a little.

You can't place the phone screen out in the holster. That was the first thing I tried! This is a feature I loved in the Otterbox Defender Series cases.

Straight Talk has different maps because the are an MVNO that has both CDMA phones that use verizon's service and GSM phones that use AT&T's and T-Mobile's service (you pick if you want T-Mobile or AT&T when you buy the sim). It looks like the "android" map is the T-Mobile map, and the other...

I have LTE all over San Diego and Southwest Riverside County. It seems to be tower by tower as opposed to city by city. Also, most of the area has moved 3G (HSPA+) to the 1900 MHz band, which the N5 supports. I would say SoCal coverage is really good if not great on T Mobile. I was just in...

Thanks for posting this. I will probably give it a shot. I like to just use a bumper at home but want something like the defender type cases while I am at work. I work for the FD and can trash a phone in no time just letting it rattle around the engine. I literally change my case out when I...

I feel the same way. The Nexus 5 is great, but I sure miss those speakers on the HTC One. I found myself using the One like I have never used a phone before simply because the speakers were just so good. I would listen to music and audio books without ear buds with my phone sitting on my desk...

Hangouts is easily "Hijacked" by your browser if you have it open. I have had similar problems that ended up being my open browser on my desk getting the messages. Do the messages show up when you open hangouts? If so, I would check your browser when this happens to make sure it isn't getting...

Exactly! Every time I use an iOS device and it won't let me select what app I want to use for something I want to turn it into a Frisbee. We use Google apps for everything where I work, which is great on Android. On iOS you have to use the chrome browser and it will let you open links in...

I have the HTC One GE and now the Nexus 5. They are both great phones with their own pluses and minuses. Here are the things I think are draws: Both are very good looking phones, the Metal of the One is incredible, but the Stealth look of the N5 is also really nice. They both are fast...

It is amazing how good A&T LTE is. I got tired of seeing my wife's iPhone smoke my Nexus 4 on speed tests to I bought the HTC One Google Edition when it came out. So I know what you mean, what a difference LTE makes. Now I am waiting for the N5 to show up so I can be back in the Nexus world...

I will say that Inside coverage with T-Mobile is not super, but that is because they use higher band frequencies (ie. 1700 MHz). The higher the frequency the worse it is at penetrating buildings, which is why Verizon is really good for inside coverage (700 MHz), AT&T is OK (850 MHz) and...
