    What should I do? (Just got OnePlus 2 invite, but have ordered N6P)

    Thank you everyone. Based on your feedback, I decided to ignore the OP2 invite, and wait for Nexus 6P. It's interesting, out of all the replies my post got in this forum (and all the others I received when I cross-posted this thread in OP2's forum on AC) not one person recommended that I go with...

    What should I do? (Just got an invite to OP2 but I have ordered a N6P)

    Guys and gals, I had long given up on OnePlus 2, but just got an invite. I could get a 64Gig for about $408 (includes shipping). I have also ordered a Nexus 6P 64Gig, which with the Google protection plan was about $650. What should I do?

    Huawei Selling the 6P Direct -- with Caveats

    For what it is worth... I just called Huawei's customer service. Their rep said that they expect to release the phones at the same time as google, using the same inventory and distributor. But, then I chatted with another rep who seemed to suggest a different story. Below is the transcript of...

    One thing Google fixed for sure is their damn store

    is their damn store (product ordering system). I've had Nexus 4, 5 and tried for a week to get the 6. All three launches were botched. Yesterday, took me 30 seconds to pre-order the 6P. Yeah, it'll take a while for them to actually ship it, but at least I don't have to obsess about timing my...

    N4 camera pics/flash issues

    I have the same exact problems. On the first, instead of restarting the phone, I restart the app - sometimes takes a few attempts - very frustrating. The flash issue hasn't come up too often - maybe because I don't take too many pics in the dark - but it did happen to me on Thursday. I have...

    Nexus 4 autofocus problem - won't let me to take a pic

    Hi all, I gave up on searching about this issue and reading other folks having the same problem, and decided to pose the question here. Every time I try to take a picture, the phone won't focus (so the viewfinder/crossair won't turn green) and I can't take any picture. The way I solve this is...

    quick to opine?

    I'm relatively new to these lands, but not to forums in general. I observe there are more than a few users who post responses to specific questions or offer opinions on the features of Nexus 4 without actually owning the phone. Is this the norm? Or are these users particularly enthusiastic and...

    Who transferred from iPhone, what do you think, and any tips on easy migration?

    Thanks for the thoughtful reply, Michael. I too have come to the conclusion that exporting from my Mac and importing to Google contacts is the way to go. Howerver, unlike your situation I have more than 200 google contacts, so I can't wipe them out :(

    Who transferred from iPhone, what do you think, and any tips on easy migration?

    I appreciate the response. 1. The issue I raised dealt more with the capacity of the phone, and not about ability to download or cache music. Regardless how you cache it, if one has only 11GB of space to work with, it's not gonna be enough. 2. I have fixed my gmail contacts but once you sync...

    Who transferred from iPhone, what do you think, and any tips on easy migration?

    I too made the switch for similar reasons: iOS was getting old and unimaginative on a phone (but still have my iPad 3, for which the iOSis fine.) The transition hasn't been smooth. 1. I would have liked to have a lot of my music on the phone, but since I only have about 11GB free on the phone...

    Expecting Better from T-Mo

    I live around Washington DC, and here are the speedtest.net app results I get on T-Mobile. There sometimes is a significant variance in the bandwidth -- not sure if it's caused by signal strength or tower load. In any case, hope your speeds improve.

    For those impatient... Don't buy on Ebay!

    Again, you are not being careful with you assessment. Here is what I said in presumably the thread your are referring to: "BTW, he only asked for some kind of ID number to qualify me for the discount -- I gave him my building access badge number, so you don't really need to substantiate your...
