    Double tap to wake gesture

    I've noticed that the double tap feature didn't work 100% of the time on Android 9 Pie (Pixel 3XL), probably 90% of the time. Sometimes it took two or three tries, sometimes it just flat out wouldn't work, and I'd have to hit the power button / fingerprint sensor to get the screen to wake up...

    Low Signal Quality After 10 Update

    I noticed this on my Pixel 3XL as soon as I updated, but I think the new design for how signal strength is displayed is just throwing me off. Before, the signal strength was represented by white with the remainder of the "signal area" greyed out, so it was less noticable. Now the signal strength...

    Any Advice? Latency When Home Mini Paired to Bluetooth Speaker

    Thanks, I figured that was the case. I was hoping someone had found a workaround but I know this isn't something Google can easily control. Since their products don't have an analog line out like the Echo Dot, I'm hoping they come up with some tech to fix this in the future (i.e. have the...

    Any Advice? Latency When Home Mini Paired to Bluetooth Speaker

    So I'm having an issue with latency/sound delays on my Google Home Mini. I recently purchased two Google Home Minis, and one Chromecast. The Chromecast is plugged into my TV/Home Stereo. The two minis are each paired to their own bluetooth speaker. I was hoping to have multi-room audio via...

    Galaxy S8 Headphone Jack?

    I hope they leave it in. Those who want higher quality/high res audio can always use USB C and an external DAC, but the headphone jack is just so convenient for aux jacks in people's cars, staying in hotels, etc. IMO it's still a very useful port even if it isn't strictly necessary.

    Will the Moto X 2014 recieve android 7.0 nougat?

    The Verizon version of the Moto X 2014 did not receive 6.0, if I remember correctly. That's why I got rid of mine last year, VZW & Moto announced it would not be updated past Android 5.x

    Anybody sign up on Verizon for a Pixel and immediately cancel service?

    Why did you need to buy it through Verizon and then cancel service? You can buy it directly from Google, and then even offer 0% interest financing IIRC... and it will still work any any network, as far as I know. In any case, if you are paying full price for the device, I think you can cancel...

    Is its design a apple copy ?

    It is hard to tell who is copying who at this point, but I like the design regardless! And that blue color looks very cool.

    How bad is the Amoled screen burn-in problem?

    I agree with most of the other posters, screen burn-in isn't something to worry too much about anymore with normal usage patterns. I did have problems with my Samsung Galaxy Nexus, and my 2013 Moto X. Both of them had noticeable burned-in areas where the status bar and onscreen buttons are. On...

    Win Samsung's next new phone from Android Central!

    Would love an S7! I think they'll stick with the usual colors again. White/Silver, Blue/Silver, Gold, and then maybe black or some carrier exclusive/special addition color. Would love a Blue S7

    Does Verizon just suck?

    I don't know about the LG G4, but look at what's going on with the Moto X 2014 on ATT and Verizon. Those models are not getting the 6.0 update, but the unlocked "pure editions" are (I have a VZW Moto X). I don't have the definitive answer as to why, but fingers are pointed at the carriers. So if...

    Verizon raising the price for Unlimited Data Plan by $20 after November 15, 2015

    My plan renews on the 20th each month (tomorrow), I usually get my bill on the 22nd. I haven't heard anything from Verizon about the increase, but I imagine the bill I'll receive in a few days will have a notice, as the bill I'll pay on Nov 22nd will be higher. I called Verizon last week and...
