    Better AOD app?

    Thanks, I actually didn't know about Good Lock/Clockface. Some of those look pretty cool!

    Better AOD app?

    I really miss the beautiful Infinity AOD on my Galaxy S9, with the stars shining in the background. The new default AOD is pretty bland, the color options are even more washed out, and the custom AODs available through the Galaxy Store make the clock and date look even more boring. Anyone know...

    Set camera exposure with number?

    Is there any way to force the Camera app to let you manually set the exposure with a number (like -2, +1, etc.) or at least show the value of the exposure like it did on my old Nexus 5? It bugs me when settings are so arbitrary that the slightest movement of my finger changes the value and...

    The inability to disable certain notifications is getting old real fast

    For example, the background location request notification. I already specified that I want location services on, so I don't need to know every time an app requests it! Another one is every time I turn on my bluetooth headphones, even though I told the phone to "forget" them, I still get a...

    Why does Messages for web keep disconnecting?

    Thanks! Yeah, I read that as a possible solution somewhere and it does seem to work, at least in the short run. But it will still periodically disconnect. Maybe it's just a quirk of the technology, then. I was worried that I had a network setting wrong or something.

    Why does Messages for web keep disconnecting?

    I use Messages for web almost exclusively. Every now and then, it seems to randomly disconnect and give the attached error message. I am able to kind of "wake it up" by unlocking my phone and going to the Messages app in Android. When I do that, it reconnects, as if it had been in some kind of...

    How to fast-forward/rewind on BT headphones?

    I just fear that one day, they'll stop making dedicated music players (of which the iPod seems to be the only one left) and we'll hall have to use our smartphones with BT headphones, as even headphone jacks seem to have gone out of style. :(

    How to fast-forward/rewind on BT headphones?

    So, I've been using iPods and mp3 players for music since the late 90s and only recently have I begun to consider that I may have to transition to using my phone, a Nexus 5 running Android 6.0.1, as a music player. But one thing I can't figure out is how to fast-forward or rewind within the same...

    Why is my Nexus 5 battery draining so quickly?

    I think maybe it's your cell signal which looks low judging by that graph. If you have cellular data on and set it at LTE in a low signal environment, I think that puts a lot of strain on the battery, as the phone keeps trying to connect at a higher speed. This is the case in my office. So when...

    Am I crazy?

    You're not crazy. If I had my way, I'd go back to my Blackberry Pearl. :P

    The Nexus 5 Android 5.1 Lollipop Thread

    Quick question. I'm new to Android so I haven't dealt with an update like this before. The factory images were released last night. If I'm not comfortable updating the OS myself, how soon can I expect the 5.1 update to show up in my system updates screen? I hear some people speaking of "months"...
