    Should i get a Pixel C or Other Android Tablet?

    Right I've decided to buy a Pixel C, but only when we have a clear answer on if the wifi issue is Hardware or Software. I don't want to pay £399+£119 for something that might only work upstairs in my house near the WiFi hub and then slow right down when in my living room. Posted via the...

    Should i get a Pixel C or Other Android Tablet?

    Does the Keyboard have to be attached to the tablet to work? Sometimes i use my current iPad where I move the iPad to eye level but keep the keyboard on the desk and type with it. This is not something that is a must for me, but I am curious if the Pixel C has to be attached to its keyboard...

    Should i get a Pixel C or Other Android Tablet?

    Ever since buying this Nexus 6P last week I am a convert to Android. I tried a Sony Xperia Z3 a few years ago and although I liked the Hardware and the Software looked nice, I just couldn't get on with it. I also hate Samsung's hardware and software. My wife has a S6, yuck, it looks like Tomy's...

    Help with Music App on Lock Screen

    There is only pause/play and skip forward or back not other options but it is mostly the size of it in relation to screen size, I would have like (only personal preference) to see it bigger but I understand now how Andorid works, in comparison to iOS. As I said no big issue really just...

    Should i get a Pixel C or Other Android Tablet?

    The 3 Tablets I'm looking at currently are all fit for purpose for me, as long as you iPad Air 2 doesn't get killed with updates too quickly. So it comes down to use ability and value. Tablet & Keyboard Pixel C - £519 (32gb) iPad Pro 9.7 - £628 (32gb) iPad Air 2 - £490 (64gb) An iPad is and...

    Should i get a Pixel C or Other Android Tablet?

    As a iPad user I have no issues with iPads I'm not a fanboy of either iOS or Android, I like what works for me and it just so happens this Nexus 6P is fantastic. I didn't buy the 6s+ because I don't think it's worth what they are charging at all £699, but that is just personal opinion. What...

    Should i get a Pixel C or Other Android Tablet?

    Cheers for your feedback. Is the portrait/landscape thing only if apps are not coded to reorientation for example Instagram. Posted via the Android Central App

    Help with Music App on Lock Screen

    Thanks for the suggestion. Just disabled AD, no change to the lock screen. Not a deal breaker having a small music player, just surprised really, I'm only used to iOS that's all. Posted via the Android Central App

    Help with Music App on Lock Screen

    Cheers that's resolved it. Bit disappointed in function is a single bar in the middle of the screen, I give iOS the win for the lock screen music app there. Posted via the Android Central App

    Should i get a Pixel C or Other Android Tablet?

    The Tablet/Keyboard setup is to replace a laptop, but not in the conventual sense. I use my phone a lot, but it's not up for heavy typing. It's a note taker, browser, photo viewer etc. My laptop (macbook pro) is to heavy to be really portable and now the battery only lasts an hour it is...

    Should i get a Pixel C or Other Android Tablet?

    Hiya, Cheers for the user feedback. My main apps I use are these: - Cloud Magic Email - OneNote - Evernote - Google Music / Deezer or Spotify - Feedly (Newsify on iPad) - Instagram (but that works portrait better anyway) - Fenix or Tweetings - Google Photos - Flickr - Lightroom Mobile -...

    Should i get a Pixel C or Other Android Tablet?

    Cheers for your comments on the WiFi, I hope they are able to fix that. Do you think it's purely software and can be fixed with an update. I might limp along with the iPad 3rd Gen a few more weeks then to see what happens. The only reason I'm considering the Pixel C over a new iPad is because...

    Help with Music App on Lock Screen

    Hi All. I have recently got a Nexus 6P. I have moved from iOS so Android is new to me. I've taken the 3 month Google Music trial offer as well as downloading Spotify. The problem is that when I play any music apps and then lock my phone there is no app showing that allows me to skip, pause...

    Should i get a Pixel C or Other Android Tablet?

    Wow, thanks for your feedback. I guess a lot of YouTube reviews don't go in depth enough. It looks a great machine. I guess then iOS apps are coded for portrait and landscape. Well when I think about it Instagram does rotate on a phone and i'm not sure it does on my iPad either. Do you think...

    Should i get a Pixel C or Other Android Tablet?

    I would love to get one but I'm hesitating as there isn't a chance to try one in person where I live. I've used an iPad and let's be frank, when you've tried one you've tried them all, and I've also been able to try a Surface 3, but nowhere stocks the Pixel C. My only concern that is stopping...
