    No EQ in Google Listen Now?

    It seems the Equalizer in Google's music player (settings) has disappeared. Can someone confirm this? Thanks! Posted via the Android Central App

    S5 and S5 Neo compared?

    The standard S5 with the Qualcomm 801 chipset is far more popular than the S5 Neo with Samsung's own Exynos octa core. I need a replacement phone, the prices have come down and the standard S5 looks good. Feedback very welcome. Posted via the Android Central App

    Choosing the Nexus 5X over the Nexus 6P

    Re: Why did you buy or why are you considering the 5X over the 6P? When the 5x is available, I want a white one. I generally use a dark Nillkin case and like the contrast. Posted via the Android Central App

    Choosing the Nexus 5X over the Nexus 6P

    Re: Why did you buy or why are you considering the 5X over the 6P? The 6p may have great specs and advanced technology. It is too large and heavy for me to get comfortable with. That being said, let's look at non removable battery - an issue for both my N4 and the 5x. About a year ago, a...

    Choosing the Nexus 5X over the Nexus 6P

    Re: Why did you buy or why are you considering the 5X over the 6P? "Google bobo" brings on smiles. The N4 is a great phone, yet we all want the more advanced technology. One of the issues is the handling of web content and image data. Sometimes I click on a link, and it or its images do not...

    Choosing the Nexus 5X over the Nexus 6P

    Re: Why did you buy or why are you considering the 5X over the 6P? Thanks for the good words and detailed reply. The 6p is not an option, it's too big and too heavy. So the 5x is looking good. I must say though, the Nexbit Robin sure looks interesting :-} Posted via the Android Central App

    Choosing the Nexus 5X over the Nexus 6P

    Re: Why did you buy or why are you considering the 5X over the 6P? If the 5x is as good as its Specs and the Google hype in SF, I think the money thing is worth it, especially with, 32g. I'm waiting for a review or two. Let me add, that in over 2 years of daily use, there was never an N4...

    Choosing the Nexus 5X over the Nexus 6P

    Re: Why did you buy or why are you considering the 5X over the 6P? Hope I have this right: aren't the Amoled colors a bit over saturated, like on Samsung screens? I think that LCD is easier on the eyes. Posted via the Android Central App

    Choosing the Nexus 5X over the Nexus 6P

    Re: Why did you buy or why are you considering the 5X over the 6P? N5x weighs 136 gr, and that's less than my N4. If it has only one front facing speaker, that's OK - so long as it's a good one ;-) Posted via the Android Central App

    Choosing the Nexus 5X over the Nexus 6P

    Re: Why did you buy or why are you considering the 5X over the 6P? Friends, I've been out of touch with the Forum for many months. It is good to be back. In coming weeks, I'll decide between the Oneplus 2 and the Nexus 5x. I really don't want a phone that is larger than 5.2". And, I'm sort of...

    Why is there no micro SD card slot on the Nexus 5X?

    I'd appreciate a clear explanation as to why Google branded devices have no SD card expansion. I worry a bit about the 32gb limit. Posted via the Android Central App

    Choosing the Nexus 5X over the Nexus 6P

    Re: Why did you buy or why are you considering the 5X over the 6P? Talk about bloatware! There's a dozen pre-loaded Google apps in the Nexus 4... with the defunct Currents, Google+ and Chrome at a whopping 66.67mb. I'm a retired photographer, and I just keep deleting pix, as well as apps that...

    Choosing the Nexus 5X over the Nexus 6P

    Re: Why did you buy or why are you considering the 5X over the 6P? I'm coming from a Nexus 4, and really like the specs of the Nexus 5x. What worries me is the 32gb storage with no expansion :-{ Posted via the Android Central App

    Do you like the screen size on the Nexus 7?

    I love the 7" size. It's easy to carry, can be held in one hand, and is just large enough for most tasks. As was said above, yes, some sites come up too small to deal with.
