I bought a Nexus 5 shortly after they first came out and really liked everything about it, especially for its cost. My wife wanted to upgrade her phone about the first of the year so I suggested she take a look at the Nexus 5. She asked me to order her one so I did so in the first of February...

I hadn't turned on my Tab S for several weeks but wanted to check something on it yesterday and it wanted to do the update so I went ahead and downloaded and installed it. What little I used it it seemed to be fine. It very rarely even gets turned on anymore. My Pixel C went to 7.0 Nougat about...

I've had mine about six weeks. If I knew what I did now I would not have purchased it. I think its build quality is fantastic as is its display and speed. However, the WiFi is atrociously anemic, undoubtedly the worst WiFi device I've ever owned. Even more distressing is the fact that it locks...

I recently had a "chat" with the Google CS on the WiFi issue with absolutely no enlightenment or resolution. I just received this from Google Support. H K

Can anyone say that they have better WiFi (range and strength) with N? Thanks H K

I had a Xoom from when they first came out until about six months ago. I kept it that long for one reason - it was a VERY quality built device. I had rooted and overclocked it but you can only do so much with dated hardware. I bought a Nexus 9 and quickly returned it because of its build...

I bought the Pixel C to replace my Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5. Functionally the Samsung is a great tablet but I didn't care for its build quality. After about three weeks I'm still very satisfied with the Pixel C. Screen quality and performance are superior to the Tab S but (to me) not...

As I had previously posted I really wanted the Noreve leather case to compliment the build quality of the Pixel C but the lack of Auto Sleep / Wake function was a deal breaker. I ended up buying the brown ProCase from Amazon...

I really wanted a nice leather folio like the Noreve for my Pixel C that would compliment its quality build. However, the missing Auto Awake / Sleep function was a deal breaker for me. I really hated to do it but I bough this cheap brown Pro Case from Amazon...

That supported auto awake / sleep :) H K

I just got off the phone with Pixel C support. He is going to forward my inquiry about a (non keyboard) leather folio to marketing. If enough interest is shown one will most likely be offered. H K

Actually it is a feature that must be built in to the device. However, it must have a "smart" case that supports that function for it to be utilized. As was alluded to the "smart" case and device "communicate" with a magnet in the "smart" case. With such simple technology I'm surprised that...
