    Squeeze to silence??

    Just picked up the Pixel 7 to replace my aging Pixel 2 XL. One of the great features (to me) of the Pixel 2 XL was the ability to silence the ringing phone by squeezing the sides of the pone . It was perfect for, when out to dinner and my phone started ringing, I could just slip my hand in my...

    Any way to change contact icon color?

    I'm setting up my wifes 4A with direct dial icons on her home screen. Two numbers, my mobile number and our home landline number are the same color. For the life of me I cant find any way to change the color of the icons. I've deleted the home number, re-entered and saved, but it still comes up...

    Does the 4A need a screen protector?

    Thanks all. Ordered the OMOTON tempered glass screen protector along with the Caseology Parallax case.

    Does the 4A need a screen protector?

    My wife's Nexus 6P (handed down from me) has finally gone belly up and last night I ordered the Pixel 4A for her. I've never used a screen protector on the 6P or on my current Pixel 2XL and have never had a problem with scratches. Wife has had the 6P for the last two years and it's been in an...

    Still worth buying?

    I've used my Nexus 10 daily since Nov 2012 and it's finally starting to flake out on me, so I guess it's time to upgrade. I'm considering the Pixel C but I find myself wondering if I shouldn't consider another tablet. The Pixel C is over a year old and still commanding a pretty high price $600...

    Calendar Notifications Not Popping Up

    I've been having the same problem. It's intermittent, sometimes I'll get a Calendar Notification, other times I wont. However I always get the Notification on my Nexus 10. I'm using Light Manager Pro on the 6P because I was not getting an LED notification when I missed a call. Google said the...

    Nexus 6P - Calendar notifications are intermittent

    Re: Calendar notifications are intermittent So let's see, no notifications (or intermittent) for calendar events, no notifications for Gmail and no LED notifications for missed calls (without a third party app). Gotta say, while I love the phone (hardware) Googles software (firmware?) is...

    Nexus 6P - Calendar notifications are intermittent

    I've been having a problem with my 6P where calendar notifications are intermittent. Sometimes I'm notified that I have an appointment and other times I receive no notification even though the appointment is showing in the calendar (yes, notifications are turned on). Interestingly enough, I...

    How many cases have you bought for your 6p?

    i-Blason case with holster but after awhile I decided I didn't trust the retaining clip on the holster. I then bought the Speck Candyshell, which I love, but needed a holster. Took three holsters to find the one that fit my needs. So short answer.... 2 cases and 4 holsters.

    6P Camera for vacations?

    No question about it, get the DSLR. The 6P is great for snapshots but your going to want the range, depth of field and dynamic range that a good DSLR offers. And PaulQ is spot on about the extras you need to bring.

    What apps keep the 6p awake?

    I've had no problems with WeatherBug. I have the widget installed on my home screen and keep Bluetooth turned off unless I need it. I have noticed that the WB widget will not update at times but it's just a matter of opening the widget and closing it for it to update.

    Lightflow problem?

    After having problems with Light Flow, I uninstalled it and went with Light Manager LED. LM does not have as many features as LF but it works well and causes no issues on my 6P. I liked LM LED enough that I bought Light Manager Pro to support the developers. Give Light Manager LED a try, its...

    Nexus 6P low volume? or is this normal?

    My speakers are loud using Play Music, Pandora, and some YouTube channels. So I'd have to say its most likely the source. If you find that's not the case, then you probably have a bad unit.
