    Now that my watch is all Marshmallow, where's Priority Mode?

    Marshmallow hit my G Watch (I don't think the model is relevant but I know someone will ask) over the weekend. Now I can turn DND on (alarms only) or off. Is Priority Mode toast, or is there a way to get it back? (Thanks to some medical stuff, I get tons of robocalls for upcoming appointments...

    "I've ordered my Nexus 6P" (Order & Shipping Discussion)

    Re: "I've ordered my Nexus 6P" (Order & Shipping Discussion) Has anyone who's received theirs via FedEx had to sign for it? I can't be home Monday and don't want a door tag. The FedEx app isn't letting me customize the delivery.

    "I've ordered my Nexus 6P" (Order & Shipping Discussion)

    Argh. I'm on Chicago's North Side. Got my tracking number today. 64GB Aluminum (it's not "Aluminium," Google, any more than elevators are "lifts" or the national leader is "the queen") and it's 20 or so miles away leaving from Carol Stream. I could pick it up in the morning. But noooooooooo...

    What do you NOT like about YOUR Moto X Pure Edition?

    Re: What do you NOT like about this phone? So to beat the dead horse one last time, tonight I finished dinner, cleaned up, and came back into the living room where my phone stayed while I cooked and ate. The screen wasn't doing anything and didn't until I tapped it. The left icon was a cloud...

    What do you NOT like about YOUR Moto X Pure Edition?

    Re: What do you NOT like about the Moto X Pure Edition? No, a couple of taps on my watch and it's gone. Actually, I use the free Timeriffic to set all volumes to 0 from 8:45 a.m. to 5:45 p.m. with priority notifications set to vibrate for contacts only. It's not just meetings. A dozen people...

    What do you NOT like about YOUR Moto X Pure Edition?

    Re: What do you NOT like about the Moto X Pure Edition? This is not my experience. The LED on my Nexus 5 on wifi is blinking away like it's at a rave and my Moto X Pure's screen has been black since I sat down 20 minutes ago.

    What do you NOT like about YOUR Moto X Pure Edition?

    Re: What do you NOT like about the Moto X Pure Edition? And like bimbert84 said, I also wasn't aware of that because I wasn't in the market for phones then. I've been happy with the Nexus phones. And since the display type changed from the other two, Motorola should have kept thinking it...

    What do you NOT like about YOUR Moto X Pure Edition?

    Re: What do you NOT like about the Moto X Pure Edition? Also, the screen, sounds, and vibration don't notify you unless your phone is in hand or next to you anyway. An LED can notify you from a good distance. It's a persistent warning that something changed. I hope the AC editor team is...

    What do you NOT like about YOUR Moto X Pure Edition?

    Re: What do you NOT like about the Moto X Pure Edition? That's a little better, I guess, but not really much. You have one LED and all you'll ever know is that yes, you have a notification. On the N5 with Light Flow, I had nearly a dozen notifications assigned to different colors and knew what...

    What do you NOT like about YOUR Moto X Pure Edition?

    Re: What do you NOT like about the Moto X Pure Edition? No notification LED. No phone should ship without one. I have an AW watch and the Bluetooth is only good for 15 feet or so. When I come back to my desk I want to see if I missed any calls, messages, or emails. The screen sucks compared...

    Dose it run Native Android? *First Thread!

    One review I've read says that the Play Store has a few dozen selected apps. If that's true, even the Google TV Play Store had more.

    Those exposed contacts? Not a good idea

    I think it had more to do with sweat having enough ions to serve as the electrolyte needed to conduct the charge. It took quite a while for my watch to update, but now that it has, I'm glad to say that my wrist is healing and the watch charges every time I put it into the cradle. I haven't gone...

    Those exposed contacts? Not a good idea

    Sorry for the delay, and no offense taken; it's a question worth asking. Although mosquitoes do love me, there hadn't been any bites on my arm for a while. Pragmatically, the watch is on when I'm out, so a bite would have had to come from something that could have gotten between the watch and my...

    Those exposed contacts? Not a good idea

    Been wearing the G Watch since it arrived on the 7th. Like some things, don't like others, but this may be a deal breaker -- Exactly matches where the contacts touch my wrist. (This is a photo from this morning... it looked a little nastier last night.) The top and middle contacts were so...

    I've got an HTC One (M8), you have questions. Fire away.

    A quick thanks to popartist and Phil for getting the rest of the notification LED info out. (I admit it -- I was spoiled by the damn Sidekick's fully customizable RGBW LED a decade ago and am always mystified that no one else has done that. But after that, it's a dealbreaker for me not to have...
