    What apps aren't working in Android L?

    Firefox. I noticed that too but in the bug thread on the Mozilla site they mentioned beta 7 but then corrected to beta 8, so maybe the one after this one. It looked like they ran into another bug after the fix. :( [Edit] Haha, nope it must be beta 7. The beta we just got was 6...

    What apps aren't working in Android L?

    They're working on a Firefox fix so it should work when the next Facebook Beta is released. I for one can't wait because I don't really like Chrome.

    Twitter Beta working on L

    Android L is my daily driver. Maybe it shouldn't be but what can I say? I like it. Hopefully this will make life easier for you too. To get the beta version of Twitter from the Play Store, sign up for the Twitter for Android Experiment program. Facebook has a similar program. Here are the links...

    Nexus 5 is better than the iPhone.

    Can't wait for Google to release an update that includes the new camera software/API. Too bad the new code was removed prior to Kitkat release because it wasn't ready.

    Getting LTE enabled on your Straight Talk line for Nexus 5

    It won't be a problem, but go ahead and put your current SIM in the N5 and see if your phone picks up an LTE signal. If it shows up then there's no reason to transfer. I only say this since the poster above me apparently didn't have to transfer his/her number to a new SIM card, for whatever...

I use the Plex server on my PC and use the Netgear N600 router. I had to buy a new wireless PCI card to make use of the double bandwidth that...

    These apps fail under ART

    Paper Toss 2.0 doesn't work. I had to hold the power button down for an extended period to get my N5 back to running again.

    Would you buy a new flagship every 2 or nexus every 1?

    I paid $185 for my white Nexus 5 32GB when I factor in the $234 I got for my Nexus 4 16GB when I sold it on Swappa a week later (couple days ago). I anticipate buying the next Nexus device next year and expect the resell value of the Nexus 5 to be more than it's predecessor.

    Re: Difficult exchange at bestbuy. Bestbuy employee advice requested What are the terms of the contract in regards to returns? I know it's 14 days for AT&T at Wal-Mart before you're stuck with the ETF.

    Re: trying to switch to nexus5 from 5s, questions for experts.... As far as Chromecast is concerned, I do own one. I also have a Roku. I like my Roku more since it has an app called Twonky that allows me to stream media from my phone to my TV, including Youtube and other streaming sites. I also...

    Re: trying to switch to nexus5 from 5s, questions for experts.... Some android apps will say they aren't compatible with the new version when they really are. It's up to the developer to update their compatibility settings. If it isn't compatible, it's up to the developer to update their app to...

    Straight Talk and LTE on AT&T SIM with the Nexus 5 is sweet

    It's awesome! Especially coming from the Nexus 4. I had to transfer my number to a new Straight Talk SIM card I bought back in March in order to get LTE enabled. I did a speed test yesterday at work when I had LTE with five bars and it was 22 Mbps Down / 8 Mbps Up. Faster than my cable Internet...
