Sweet. I still have mine, and it's running Lineage 14.1

Yup. Agree with above. Google wants ALL your information :) With Google contacts sync, you can move from device to device and have all your contacts at your fingertips.

I haven't personally confirmed yet, but this is my suspicion - or some "special" text tool/setting they have. The main reason I think it might be the Adv Msg on Samsung device is bc this is happening on my 5x from Samsung owners. Similar to another comment, I can receive texts on a 1-to-1...

I can't see the screen shot, but can you comment on what you might be doing on the phone? Which apps you use having during the period you see heavy battery drain, etc Personally, I saw slightly heavier battery drain than prior to the 7 update, where the phone will have about 15% left after...

got a "new" message today. Now my update shows up and reads in english :)

I hope that's not the true reasoning Google has.[emoji20] I always update on a charger, and by Wi-Fi, regardless of MBs [emoji16] . My paranoia lies in the possibility that my cellular connection drops and the download gets corrupted. [emoji15]

Or! just wait until USB-C takes over ;) hehe. I know your pain. I have a 2-pack of the micro-to-C adapters. I keep one in my backpack, and another is connected full-time at my nightstand. I was thinking about taking some nylon string and using some epoxy glue to make a pseudo-keyring out of it...

Funny you mention the stock Google camera app... A few days ago when trying to take a time-sensitive photo [emoji51] the camera so started flashing on me and freezing. Had to restart the app a few times before the ivory actually took -so whatever the March update was supposed to fix, maybe...

I got that impression too - but I thought the whole concept of the Nexus line was an attempt to make the phone and/or the OS (ie. Android) "plain" enough to fit on a variety of phones. I understand that may be easier said than done - just my original understanding. For example, to compete with...

My opinion won't do you so good, but I upgraded from the N4 to the N5x. The camera is a lot better. The N4 camera would often take grainy photos or poor photos in low light situations, sometimes even where sunlight is good. I had the N4 since November 2013. It's survived 2 international trips...

I don't have a N5x (yet), but I'm wondering if they put the headphone jack on the bottom so that when you put your phone into your pant pocket, you can access the finger scanner to unlock quickly. I assume of headphone jack was placed at the top of phone, then it'd not be as accessible or fluid...

Just got 6.0 this morning Northern California, Nov 10, ~0900Hr. Starting to use it now after getting home from work and errands. From the sounds of it, not too much concern in compatibility. Although I am interested to see how Doze works. Cheers.

Why not buy a reputable 3rd party charger from Amazon or similar online store? My original LG/Nexus 4 charger has output rating of 5V and 1.2A

A small worry I have is that Amazon or the vendor/manufacturer will peak the prices a bit due to Benson's reviews so as to squeeze as much profit before the other vendors start fixing their design issues that Benson mention. I obviously an just speculating, as I can't imagine how much of a...

Doubtful of a solid answer, but any possibility as to when Google might announce what they have planned for 2015? Or will we just need to sit and wait for the official word in September (September is when they generally announce phones in the past, right?)
