    Broken apps in N

    Vainglory is totally broken. Won't even open. Posted via the Android Central App

    Anyone switch back to MM yet?

    I manually reflashed 6.0.1. I couldn't get the OTA from unenrolling either. Vainglory was the deal breaker for me, and it doesn't work on the latest beta. Posted via the Android Central App

    I'm using a custom launcher, but I'm using an app called wallpaper changer which I use to automatically change wallpaper with a home screen shortcut. To be fair, I have the same problem with my Sony phone running marshmallow, the system allows you to set a separate wallpaper for the lock screen...

    I've had the same problem with rolling back, the OTA never arrived, so I'm manually flashing Paranoid Android instead... Hey, if I have to wipe it, might as well try a new ROM. Posted via the Android Central App

    NPD56N

    I'm running it on my Nexus 9 at the moment. My main problem with it is that Vainglory no longer works at all. Perhaps something to do with API changes. So since I play a lot of Vainglory, I'm probably going to roll it back. If anyone knows a work around or fix for this, I'd be very...

    Upgrade Now or Later?

    Depends on your budget. If you're looking at a 6P, I'd wait. If you're looking at a 5X, go for it. I strongly suspect there won't be a nexus as cheap as the 5X this year. Posted via the Android Central App

    apple users using chrome rather than safari increases

    I get those crashes all. The. Time... I'm pretty sure it's caused by ads. I'm trying to train myself to use Firefox instead (also, goodbye ads), but it's hard to kick the chrome habit. Posted via the Android Central App

    How much do you Customize your Phone?

    Thanks. A little sailfish, a little MIUI, a little touchwiz... Probably a few other inspirational elements in there... Not very Googley. This is why I often nitpick design choices by Google or OEMs. I put a lot, probably too much effort into pixel perfect layouts. I care perhaps too much...

    Do you prefer instant messaging or texting?

    I was a huge MSN messenger user back in the day, it was amazing. Seeing 20 or so of your friends online at once, their statuses, what they were listening to at that moment. You just can't get that level of connection and interaction on mobile these days. Anyway, I use WhatsApp, because sending...

    Any other platforms you guys use regularly?

    I've got an android phone and an Android tablet, and I use a lenovo windows laptop which spends it's entire life connected to Ethernet and HDMI to my TV, and is mostly used for watching american Netflix, because I can't do that with my Chromecast. Very occasionally I'll do some actual computer...

    How much do you Customize your Phone?

    This is how much I customise my home screen. Apps: Total Launcher, KWGT, Month Calendar, Tasks To Do, and a few others. https://imgur.com/1eWVtVC https://imgur.com/lZ1PGFE https://imgur.com/kSxpM20 https://imgur.com/gEeSVCU https://imgur.com/8i0YRvz https://imgur.com/UhCxI1S [Edited because...

    Phone sizes are getting ridiculous

    All the rumours have said their will be 2 Moto Gs, one 5" and one 5.5". But everyone fixates on the bigger one, as if purchasing that model is mandatory. Posted via the Android Central App

    I'm so glad this is no longer a thing...

    Lol I'm new at this and can't work out how to get the pics in the right place, but you see what I mean. Posted via the Android Central App

    I'm so glad this is no longer a thing...

    So I've owned 2 Sony phones. One of the big selling points of them, at least in their marketing, is 'waterproofing'. They were one of the first doing it, but as is often the case, first ≠ best. The first attached pic is my OG Xperia Z. Loved the phone, hated the flap. After a year, the rubber...
