    [Closed] Win a Nexus 6P or Nexus 5X in our Fa-la-la-liday Contest!

    I think it would have to be the 5X because of the size.

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

    I'd love to win the 5X because: -Marshmallow, -the great camera, -Imprint (so convenient!), and -I'm a Nexus fan with an aging Nexus 4! I love having plain vanilla Android!

    How do I get rid of a pattern/pin unlock???

    Hi. I was experimenting with my Nexus 10 (5.1.1, not rooted) and set up a pattern unlock, having only been swiping until then. However, I don't really want a secure unlock on this device, so I decided to go back to simply swiping. Only I can't! The option to use swiping is greyed out, so the...

    Why can't I pin a screen?

    Hi. I'm using a Nexus 4 on 5.0.1, not rooted for the moment but the bootloader is unlocked. I've just tried to pin a screen, but the pin icon doesn't appear in the overview menu after I open the app I want to pin. I tried disabling the functionality, rebooting, then re-enabling it, but that icon...

    On my Nexus 4 on Lollipop, why isn't my Bluetooth and face unlock working properly?

    Re: Nexus 4 on Lollipop: bluetooth and face unlock not working properly Thank you for the suggestion. I haven't done a factory reset, largely because this BT problem is a pre-existing one: my Nexus 4 has never really been very good at keeping the BT connection. However, now that "trusted...

    On my Nexus 4 on Lollipop, why isn't my Bluetooth and face unlock working properly?

    Re: Nexus 4 on Lollipop: bluetooth and face unlock not working properly And today it's working! I don't know what was going wrong the other day, but today it's working again, and with a pattern unlock, no pin. Thanks for replying - your reply is what pushed me to try again! However, I still...

    On my Nexus 4 on Lollipop, why isn't my Bluetooth and face unlock working properly?

    Nexus 4 on Lollipop: bluetooth and face unlock not working properly I have a Nexus 4 (I know - it's 2 years old, but it still works fine other than what I'm writing about!) that I just updated via OTA to Lollipop and rooted using NRT. Under 4.4.4 I was using SkipLock when on my home network...

    Bluetooth woes

    Thanks for the reply, and sorry for the delay in answering (I live in France). I've installed the app and re-paired my devices, and the connection does get made when bluetooth is turned on. However, and disappointingly, the connection is then lost again after *one second*! Do you have any other...

    Bluetooth woes

    I've just installed (OTA) Lollipop on my Nexus, but this problem pre-dates the update. I have paired my phone to several other devices, but as soon as I either turn off bluetooth or get out of range of the other device, I lose the pairing. My phone sees the other devices, the other devices see...

    Transferring photo albums from GNex to Nex4, albums not visible in Gallery

    Hi. Here's my problem. I've just switched from an unrooted GNex (4.3) to a rooted Nexus4 (4.4), and so far everything has gone well. My last step is to transfer all my photo albums over to the new phone. These albums were separate folders in the storage ("SD card"), not in the DCIM folder. I...

    Google Device Manager not activating new functions

    I'm replying to my own message - it took somewhere between 2 and 3 hours for the ADM to recognize that my phone should be lockable and erasable, but it did finally. I'm all set! :)

    Google Device Manager not activating new functions

    Hello. I have a European GNex (4.3) that is not tied to a carrier. I also have a Nexus 10 on 4.3. On both devices, I have activated "Allow remote lock and factory reset" in the Google Settings app. However, while I have all functionalities shown as activated on the ADM web interface for the...
