    Uses of Edge

    Hi all, quick question about the Edge here. I finally went to the store and had one in my hands. I think its really cool tech, but I'm having a hard time seeing the usefulness of having it as opposed to a flat screen, outside of the "cool" factor. So I pose the question to Edge owners, what can...

    Is there a way to change the application switcher from the menu back to long press home?

    I don't think there is, but my advice would be to give this layout a fair chance. It really does work better. The legacy menu button isn't needed at all anymore and the recent apps menu is super useful Posted via the Android Central App

    Sandisk vs Samsung: Which SD card is best?

    You should be fine with SanDisk. Out of curiosity, do you plan on putting more stuff on your SD card? If not you went way overkill with the 128gb. Posted via Android Central App

    iPhone user considering Nexus 6, need opinion

    You mentioned you had notification issues with the N4. If that was text messages not coming through from other iPhone users, you might still have that problem with any Android phone. It's an iMessage bug. There are guides aimed at fixing it, but it ultimately doesn't always work. Its really up...

    Hands Free on Nexus 6

    I haven't heard one way or the other, but my guess is probably not. That's a Motorola software thing, so unless Google baked it into Lollipop it probably won't be there. Posted via Android Central App

    Is a Droid Turbo/Maxx just as good as a Nexus?

    Re: Droid Turbo should last 27% more than Nexus 6 When you think about it, even though screen sizes are vastly different, they still have the same number of pixels to push, so for the most part, it will take the same amount of juice to power the screen.

    Google Nexus 6 Will It Rock?

    Re: Will It Rock? Yes but that's the tradeoff you have to make to get something that feels better in the hand than a giant flat slab. Posted via Android Central App

    Nexus 6 - Back button question

    If you root, you can, but not right out of the box. As for functionality, you will get used to it. tbh, I think samsung is the only one who puts the back button on the right. I don't know about you, but for me, I hold the phone in my left hand, typically, and I find it much more convenient to...

    Nexus Player - Android TV: What do you want it to be able to do?

    My number one would be full app availability. If it could have every app that's available on my tablet, I'd be in. If all it is is a different device that has the same standard app as pretty much every other streaming box, I'm better off not replacing my roku/Chromecast combo. Posted via...

    Google Nexus 6 Why Nexus?

    Re: Why Nexus? There is such a misnomer with the word "skins". It's not line the different OEMs are just putting a different look on the phone. They are customizing the source code of Android, essentially creating a new OS. It's like Linux. Ubuntu and Mint are totally different, but they are...

    Chromecast is an annoying piece of crap.

    That's really unfortunate. I've had the Chromecast since right after it was launched and have never had any problems with it. My only suggestion since nothing else on your network seems to be affected is check the powers supply. Is its through USB, make sure it's giving off enough juice. Or if...
