    Google Feed "Failed to load cards"

    I have exactly the same situation on my Nexus 6P. Tried going to Google settings and syncing everything, restarted my phone, etc. Nothing seems to work.

    Help me decide if gear S3 is the correct size for me

    I don't really understand all the fuss about the size of this watch (unless, maybe you're female). I am a 5' 8" male, average build with average to below average wrist size, and my S3 doesn't feel any bigger than any of my other watches. I also read all the reviews and posts about size before...

    Gear without Samsung phone?

    I just received my S3 yesterday and I'm using it with a Nexus 6P. I have been playing and setting up for a lot of today, but so far I'm pretty impressed. I seem to be getting all my alerts (I use Aquamail for email, Textra for SMS, and once in a while, Whatsapp). I replied to an SMS text...

    Good to hear Creekwater. Textra is my default SMS app, so that's perfect. Can't wait for S3 to arrive now.

    Thx tntsniper- very helpful. After reading all the positive comments on the 6P/S3 combo, I pulled the trigger on the S3 last night. Now the wait...

    Excellent, thanks for the input. Looks like S3 is fine then and I will pull the trigger.

    BTW, do you have a Frontier or Classic? And what made you decide on the one you chose?

    Calling Nexus 6P Users!

    Thanks very much for the reassurance. I was really hoping those negative threads I found were specific, one off issues and not widespread. Love to hear from others about your experience so far with this tech combo. Thx.

    6P owners of a Gear S3 Smartwatch

    I have a Nexus 6P (next phone will likely be a Pixel, but not for a while) and am strongly considering a Gear S3 as my first smartwatch. But in my research, I have come across conflicting views about how well the S3 works with the 6P. A couple of threads claim that it works, although they don't...

    Bluetooth and phone calls much better with 7.1.1

    Well I've had 7.1.1 for almost 48 hours now and haven't noticed any hiccups or negatives.

    Bluetooth and phone calls much better with 7.1.1

    I am a very, very happy guy tonight! And that's because my Bluetooth issue seems to be fixed, so I can keep my 6P afterall. After trying everything to no avail (including a factory reset and dealing with useless Google support), I was literally on the verge of buying the OP3 today and selling...
