    Nexus 5X not Charging

    I have tried a few wall outlets. Wiping the cache also didn't help. I'll see if I can get a different USB-C charger from the store to see if the phone or the charger is at fault.

    Nexus 5X not Charging

    Yes I am. I also can't test whether the phone or the charge is the problem as I have no other USB-C cables.

    Nexus 5X not Charging

    I received my second Nexus 5X today (the first having an issue with recognising my sim card) however, it seems to have stopped charging after a software update. Is there anything I can try to solve it or should I just replace the charger or phone again? Thanks

    Android M (Nexus 6) + Android Wear (Moto 360)

    So were you trying to pair your phone with a watch without resetting it? I have a G Watch and N5 and if I'm not mistaken, the watch must be reset to pair with a new phone or the same phone if it has been wiped.

    Searching browser with real desktop mode and not mobile rwd

    I don't know if you have tried it already, but Chorme has the option. Click the menu in the upper right and tick the option that says 'Request Desktop Site'. It works for most websites.

    Torn on Galaxy S6 vs Nexus 6 - Few Questions

    While it is very customisable, Nova doesn't seem to have horizontal gesture control - unless I'm missing it, of course. Action launcher does however. Keep in mind that when you use Google Now with a custom launcher it is not as well integrated. There isn't the nice, smooth animation of the GNL...

    Question regarding 'heads-up' notifications?

    I know this a really late reply, but I just saw your post. What phone do you have? Most Nexus devices already have 5.1. Removing apps from the recents list is essentially the same thing and while it may save you battery at the start, more cpu power will be required next time you open that same...

    Why can't I enable the notification LED on my Moto E?

    Re: moto e 2 push notification led Do you mean the light is not on even though you have a notification? I believe in Settings/Sound&Notification there is an option named 'pulse notification light'. Check if that is selected, otherwise you could use an app light LightFlow to control it manually.

    Couple of ?'s for those using wireless charger

    WiFi still works fine for me at least and I alsno have a case on my Nexus 5. Keep in mind my case is also quite thin - I'm not sure about the Neo Hybrid, but some beefier cases may obstruct it.

    Torn on Galaxy S6 vs Nexus 6 - Few Questions

    1. Without rooting or modifying the actual OS, you would be able to easily install a custom launcher from the play store. Some examples include Nova, Action and Apex launchers (Action launcher being my personal favourite). That will make the home screen look more like stock, with lots of...

    Is storage being reported differently in 5.1

    Don't forget that when you set up your phone, there is an option to reinstall all your apps. It also syncs your home screen layout (on the google now launcher although most custom launchers have a backup and restore option). The app helium can back up your data too, even without root access.

    Is storage being reported differently in 5.1

    It's a bug where only half of the total storage is used by the OS - I had it on my N5 too. Enter recovery mode (if you are unaware how to do this, there are numerous guides online) and select the 'Wipe Cache Partition' option. Reboot and it should be solved. Note: it won't remove your data. If...

    Question regarding 'heads-up' notifications?

    They should be responsive. Perhaps try wiping the cache or doing a factory reset. Posted via the Android Central App

    Why don't I have soft keys/notification bar and phone keeps restarting?

    Re: No soft keys/notification bar and phone keeps restarting Have you modified the device in any way? Either way, I'd recommend trying to wipe the cache in recovery before a factory reset. Posted via the Android Central App
