    February security patch just updated

    Seems to have fixed itself. I'm not sure how I feel about Google's updates and patches. This is the third time something odd has happened after a patch. I've had this behavior happen twice and after the December patch, Android Pay stopped working until I flashed a clean OS. SMH

    Android Pay or Pixel issue?

    Having the exact same issue but mine didn't start until Dec 21 or 22. My last successful AP transaction was Dec 19th. There was some type of update that happened the day it started not working. I have a bug report going through Google now. I really don't want to reset. SafetyNet Helper fails on...

    Android Pay suddenly stopped working

    Thanks for the link. It looks like I am not the only one and that is 'good'. My carrier is AT&T.

    Android Pay suddenly stopped working

    Yesterday, for apparently no reason, Android Pay stopped working on my Pixel XL. Up until that point it had worked great. My device is not rooted and other than Developer mode enabled (weeks ago) it is stock from Google. My error when I try to use it is: Android Pay can't be used on this device...

    AT&T features and hotspot on Google Pixel

    No VoLTE, no WifFi calling but the hotspot works great. You might need to restart your phone but I took the SIM out of my iPhone and slapped it in my Pixel XL.

    Anybody use the Cortana app for android?

    I use Cortana on my phone and my PC. Discovered today that not only do I get notifications from my phone displayed on my PC (including texts) but I can respond to texts on my PC (they are pushed to Cortana then to my phone where Cortana has access to send SMS). I also used Cortana on iOS but it...

    Bought The Note 7 After Being A Loyal iPhone User For Years... Here Are My Thoughts

    i too just moved from iPhone 6s+ to the Note 7. My first day or so was confusing. I kept launching the camera when I wanted to get recent apps. Battery sucked on the Note 7 until I deleted a music app I had bought. As I get used to the differences and the almost infinite ways I can change things...

    Google Play Music alternative: DoubleTwist Cloud Player.

    Just got my Note 7 (coming from iPhone 6S+) and was looking into music apps that play from OneDrive like CloudBeats Pro on iOS. Found this app and tried it. Looked promising at first but ran into a few snags. First time it stopped importing at about 12000 songs (I have ~65,000). Could not get it...
