    Wear at night

    The Jawbone UP3 has a really accurate sleep tracker. The S3 will occasionally track periods of immobility as sleep, eg. I'm in bed looking at my phone. Sleep As Android support is pretty lacking for the S3 it seems as it won't sync SHealth sleep data to Sleep As Android, and Android Wear watches...

    Odds of future Android Pay support post 2.0 launch?

    This is so awesome. I ordered a used LGU2 which should be here next week. Since I got my Gear S3 from Best Buy, I have until Jan. 15 for a full refund.

    Odds of future Android Pay support post 2.0 launch?

    If you don't use Okay Google at all then the S3 should be fine. I underestimated how often I used voice commands to play music and initiate a Hangouts message (you can't start a Hangouts message on the S3, only respond once you receive one). The majority of apps for the S3 also are paid, but...

    Odds of future Android Pay support post 2.0 launch?

    The Gear S3 Classic feels too much like it is a standalone device rather than a complimentary device to my phone. Since I use a lot of Google services, Android Wear is perfect for me because Maps, Play Music, Hangouts, Reminders, etc. Are all designed with a Wear experience in mind. On the S3...

    Odds of future Android Pay support post 2.0 launch?

    I just ordered the Urbane 2 with the hope of it getting AP support since it's one of two watches with NFC. I had the G Watch R which similarly launched with an unused wifi chip and was given support via update after a few months. In addition, I'm curious how well the latest preview build of 2.0...

    Can and will the active listening feature be ported to the S4 from the Moto X?

    The Moto X active listening feature - the ability to launch Google Now by saying "okay google now" really appeals to me. Is it possible to bring this over to other android devices, specifically the S4?

    I've got the Moto X, you've got questions ? fire away!

    Hi Phil. I've been using the Galaxy Nexus for almost a year and its performance really bothers me. It seems when i need to it be quick it chugs along slowly. I'd like to know: 1) How snappy it is, and is it consistently responsive. I use Google Now a fair bit, and on my GNEX Google Now seems to...

    What has Google just done?!?

    I'm currently using a Galaxy Nexus and waited to see what Motorola revealed today. It does seem like they are focusing more on features and actual usage, not horsepower and getting high benchmarks scores. I am either going to get the Moto X or the S4. The always listening feature on the Moto X...

    Sumitting candidate portal?

    If you select the share icon you should see the Ingress logo. It will be on a list with other apps that let you share pictures and videos you take with your camera, such as gmail, the text messenger app, and google plus.

    Confused as to how portals/locations populate the map.

    I just started playing and am confused on how the game world is generated. Portals appear on what is basically a Google map, correct? Why are there only a few portals currently downtown where I am? How are more portals added? Are they based on locations already present in Google maps? Or does...

    Looking for an Android game similar to TinyTower...

    ...where you make progress away from the game. Something that doesn't require constant attention, that I can put 5 minutes into here and there and make progress. An RPG/strategy game where I have something to look forward to whenever I come back to it.
