    [Closed] Win a Nexus 6P from Android Central!

    The reason I want this phone is the same feature I'm most looking forward too if I win, the fact that it's Android. I used Android for years, but switched to iPhone a few months ago and hate it.

    [Closed] Win a Nexus 5X from Android Central!

    I recently switched to the iPhone 6+ and really regret it. It took three months before I started to regret dumping Android, but boy do I miss the warm and welcoming glow of Google's little antenna totin' mascot now. I'd really love a 6P, but a 5X is fine as well. The Nexus One is the only...

    How can I stop the "Google Keyboard" from auto changing text to emoji

    This is using the keyboard that is made by Google and available in the Play store. I noticed that recently if I swipe/gesture type certain words like star, happy or circle, it will automatically change into the emoji instead of the actual word. This is very anoying and I want to turn this off...

    Does anyone know how to correct the google hangout pictures?

    So I just started having this problem. Looked in my contacts, only one entry for the person, and I have manually set a picture, even though there is a G+ account associated with the contact, I still use my own picture. On Hangouts app on phone (Stock Rooted GS4), it shows the picture I set...

    Nook won't charge, cord and charger are fine.

    I have a Nook tablet (BNTV250) that will not charge. When plugged in, it'll periodically show the red battery too low message, and the cord will stay orange, but flash green periodically. We have another Nook tablet in the house, exact same model, that I was able to test with the cord and...

    Will 8GB suffice?

    The cloud isn't reliable enough, internet service gets flaky or drop out completely. I've tried to use Pandora, Rdio, Spotify and Slacker on multiple different phones, with multiple different carriers, and the signal drops at times causing the music to skip, or takes too long to load. I prefer...

    Will 8GB suffice?

    The cloud is great, but it still can't be trusted. There are always reports of various cloud services getting hacked, there are EULA's that prevent you from being able to store certain thing in the cloud, there are outages in internet service that prevent your from being able to access the...

    Will 8GB suffice?

    Because I only just got a radio in the car that can do Bluetooth streaming, and since I already have the phone, might as well use it for navigation and music and podcasts. Why buy another device when my phone can do it all for me? Isn't that kind of the point of these fancy mobile computers?

    Will 8GB suffice?

    I was on Sprint, and then T-Mobile, and now back to Sprint, and neither one has good enough coverage where I live for me to be able to trust streaming music services. I just got a 64gb card the other day and I've already put 10gb of music on it, and I've only just begun to go through my 27,000+...
