    Community Review Team: GS8 Hidden Features

    Keep in mind that you may lose some widgets if you move the app to the microSD card. If you lose a widget, just move the app/data back to the internal memory.

    Why notification bubble does not show for an app.

    Try Nova launcher. There's a fee for the Nova Launcher Prime ($5?) and to get the on icon notifications, you need the companion app TeslaUnread (which I think also costs a few bucks) but they're both worth it. I use both Nova and TeslaUnread on both my previous Nexus 6P and my current G6...

    Not saying you were just getting long winded. :)

    Alarm notifications.

    I'm glad it works for you but it obviously doesn't work for many according to the posts in this thread. No matter, one of the big attractions of Android is the ability to customize just about everything and one of the reasons why vanilla Android is so popular. Nexus/Pixel phones sell like...

    Alarm notifications.

    Not sure why everyone is using the OEM clock/alarm app. Part of the beauty of Android is the ability to customize. (If I didn't want to "make the phone mine", I'd have an iPhone.) I've used Timely on both my Nexus 6P and now my G6. It works perfectly. No early notifications and you can set...

    Helium issues?

    At least I know I'm not alone. Any idea what else to use? I used NFC to get most of the data from my 6P to my G6 but that game data didn't come over. I need to find something before I factory reset and sell my 6P.

    Helium issues?

    Nobody's used Helium? Has anybody TRIED Helium, just to find it doesn't work?

    Anyone going naked?

    Not smooth like glass but not as rough as the outside. If you're wondering if it will scratch the phone, the short answer is 'no'. Obviously not a guarantee but I've had the Bear Motion case on my 6P for well over a year and still don't have any scratches on the phone. The outside is rough to...

    Helium issues?

    I just got my new LG G6 and am trying to back up some game data from my old Nexus 6P. I got the 6P to connect to the computer (Win7) which enables Helium however I can't get the G6 to connect with the Helium program on the computer. I get "Waiting for the Helium Desktop application...." which...

    Software Updates (Lack there of)

    Or a Nexus (previous Google phone before the Pixel line). I have a Nexus 6P (for about another week) and I've gotten monthly updates (except for 1) since I got it 16 months ago.

    Wireless Charging

    I won't have my G6 until the end of the week but I ordered this. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010B6PSMC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I've used my phone as an alarm clock for as long as I can remember. As such, I'll have my phone on a stand one way or another at night...

    Nothing personal, my friend, but I stopped watching your video when you got to the "I had to cover up the fingerprint scanner so now it doesn't work" part. That's one of the best parts of a new(er) cell phone.

    Bear Motion

    I've had a Bear Motion case on my Nexus 6P since I got it (about 16 months ago). It would be just about worthless if I were to drop it but I only got it for grip and scratch protection. Works perfectly for both of those. I have an LG G6 in the mail now and have already ordered another Bear...

    Anyone going naked?

    I have a Bear Motion case (I'm using that term very loosely) on my Nexus 6P. The ultra thin Bear Motion case doesn't do anything for drops. It's only good for grip and scratches. I JUST ordered a G6 from US Cellular (should be here Thursday). I'll be ordering a Bear Motion case (and tempered...
