So the phone's been out for a while now. Is the Google Pixel Stand still the only way to get fast wireless charging, or has someone else released a compatible charger?

I've heard that this is issue some form of known issue. Can anyone confirm this? My anecdotal experience definitely indicates that there's a a problem somewhere.

Yes, this is helpful, but be warned that it won't catch any screen overlays (like Facebook Messengers chat heads), which are closed when GA starts to take the shot (unlike the double-button method).

I've not run into any trouble with it.

I've really enjoyed my GNP 12.2 for the past couple of years, but I'm feeling drawn to the Surface Pro line. I love Android, but live in Windows for my job, so being able to run full Windows programs on a tablet -- particularly Scrivener and Calibre -- would be a major advantage. I'm planning a...

Re: Horrible reception and speed in full green area My understanding (easily incorrect) is that the Welcome package is based on the order of the sim chip, not the phone itself. But yeah, I've been wondering about the new phones, too. That could be rough, though, if they aren't going to make...

Re: Horrible reception and speed in full green area Are you looking for the financing plan? If not, they are available through the Google Store (as the Fi support person pointed out to me).

I just called the Project Fi number to ask a few questions -- I have my invitation, but haven't signed up yet, in part because I was wanting an answer to this question. The extraordinarily pleasant and helpful woman I spoke with said that (a) she doesn't have any information about it, (b) it...

I do, but in truth I had slowed down my use of the GNP enough that I can wait a bit for the fix. Still, thanks for the warning.

The update is installing right now for me. I have my fingers crossed for it.

I just went through the same hassle, having to wait 3-6 days between downloads. In another thread on this forum it was suggested that I try installing the update via USB and Kies. It ran the update, updated all the apps, but stayed at 4.4.2. However, it immediately started doing an OTA download...

Thanks for the suggestion. I've never had a reason to install or use Kies before, so it never occurred to me to try it for an OTA update. Looks like it worked, though.

So a couple of weeks ago my Credo (Sprint MVNO) Galaxy S4 finally got the update to Lollipop. I plugged it in, made sure it was charged, and let 'er rip on the reboot and install. It failed, giving a message about not being able to find the update.zip file. I was able to get it to reboot into...

As far as I'm aware, there's no way to do that. It would definitely be interesting if you could, though. The posts are coming from inside the house!

On phones it's tough to do; I just find the screen size too limiting. On my GNP tablet the official MS app works well, but that doesn't help you. Posted via the Android Central App
