    Problems playing media files

    Beginning 2 days ago, I'm having an intermittent problem listening or watching audio/video files on my Note 5. The problem is identical across apps, including (so far) Google Play Music, YouTube, Chrome, Amazon Prime Music, and DoggCatcher, and occurs regardless of whether the file has to be...

    Edge vs hsdpa

    I live and work just outside Philly and use T-Mobile. When I'm at home and at other locations in and around Philly, I have a strong LTE signal. Unfortunately, my workplace seems stuck in a dead zone with no LTE at all, and my Nexus 5 spends much of the day switching back and forth between an...

    A few questions from a new Chromebook user

    Well, I picked up the Chromebook today from UPS (and the Nexus 5 at the same time, haha). I'm typing this reply on it and so far, everything is as I had already researched and expected. Since I'm already a heavy Google user across multiple devices, this isn't quite the culture shock that it...

    A few questions from a new Chromebook user

    Thanks for the input - that will go a long way toward getting me started when it arrives tomorrow. I may just upload everything into Google Drive and give up old emails as lost, which isn't the end of the world, and well worth leaving virus software/defragging/registry cleaning/windows update...

    A few questions from a new Chromebook user

    I've been an Android user since the G1 came out and have also been contemplating buying a Chromebook for some time, given how easy it's become to find WiFi, how much the Google ecosystem has matured and, frankly, Windows 8. Today, the decision was made for me when the graphics card/motherboard...

    'I've Ordered a Nexus 5' Thread! (Order & Shipping Discussion)

    Ordered a black 16 GB at 2:06, so within 6 minutes of the launch, and received the confirmation e-mail immediately. Overlooked the option of changing the shipping time, so I paid for the 3-5 day shipping :-( Received the shipping notification Friday evening at 9:20 for delivery on Tuesday...

    Nexus 4 Audio Stops/Pauses Frequently

    Just wanted to add that I've had the same problem on my Nexus 4. Playback in BeyondPod and Google Music will pause randomly, and I haven't been able to see any rhyme or reason for it. I meant to pay attention when 4.3 arrived, just to see if by some chance that fixed this bug, but I can't...

    Clearing "pinned" music from device in Play Music

    I've been an Android user since the G1, but this one has me stumped. I have a Nexus 4 with a considerable amount of "pinned" music in the Play Music app taking up storage space. This pinning seems to have taken on a life of its own, and I'm finding that the app is permanently storing music...

    Nexus 10 are to be sold at Walmart and Staples.

    They must be the two people so far who bought Windows 8 phones. Didn't they give you any AOL installation CDs before you left?

    Nexus 10 are to be sold at Walmart and Staples.

    Yes, just the 32. They did not offer me any choice and that is the version they sold me, which is what I wanted, anyway.

    Nexus 10 are to be sold at Walmart and Staples.

    Well, that was amusing. Having read this thread yesterday, I checked Staples' website to see if any stores in the Philadelphia area carried the Nexus 10, and at 2 or 3 of the stores, the N10 was listed as "in stock". So, I drove out to the nearest one this afternoon, in a far-flung Philly...
