    Why can't the user access files in Android 6?

    On Nexus 5X connected to a PC as a media device. Not sure where/how to modify USB storage settings. Typically, I install the driver for the device.

    Why can't the user access files in Android 6?

    What happened to the file system? Why can't I connect my phone to my PC and backup/copy documents, photos, music, videos or any file that I want to store on a phone and send via MMS or email attachment? What if I want to use my own private cloud for storage and not use Google or third party...

    2015 Holiday Smartphone Guide

    Actually I found it annoying that Android 6 Marshmallow does not expose a file system to the user. So you won't find folders for your Music, Photos or Documents that you can manipulate easily, even if you got the right cable and connected the device to a laptop. Seems like Google finally got...

    regret getting your 5x?

    I see similar "inconsistent call answering behavior" in the G3 and G4 threads. So this seems like an LG problem. I'll use the 5X for some more time and see how I feel about it.

    Inconsistent Call Answering Behavior (G4 and G3)

    LG carries this annoying behavior forward to the Nexus 5X that I bought. I wish I had stayed with the Samsung Galaxy!

    Just one more question. Did Google partner with Three as rumored? Does Google Fi solve the data roaming problem for you?

    global roaming

    Did you figure out a solution for this? Interested to know what you found out. If you have a roaming data plan, an internet based calling and texting solution can help get rid of the voice roaming calls and SMS. Check out iPlum app on Play store.

    regret getting your 5x?

    I think I made a mistake with Nexus 5x. I waited till Android 6 and Nexus 5+ to try stock Android. Total disaster for me. Even a simple thing like answering a call is a struggle. When the phone is fingerprint locked, the screen does not light up. There is no one touch answer. WTF? I don't want...
