    Updating after bricked phone - success?

    This same thing happened to me. I got a refurb from Project Fi, and I was prompted to update about 6-7 days after getting the replacement. The Fi customer service rep I originally talked to said they'd replace the replacement if it had any issues, so I updated with only a little hesitation. And...

    Nexus 5x poor sound output?

    Look for a Bluetooth receiver. You plug your headphones or car auxillary cable into that, and connect your phone wirelessly. The audio volume will be much better. You're basically bypassing the underpowered 3.5mm output built into the phone. Here's the one I got...

    OTA to 6.0.1 sent my stock Nexus 9 into bootloop - I am not alone

    Unfortunately, I don't know a workaround. Are you certain you followed the directions exactly? I have seen a few others say they were unable to see the name, but I have not experienced that. For me, the characters show up no problem on the recovery screen. Also, the April security update sent...

    Google Nexus 6P USB-C car chargers?

    Re: USB-C car chargers? Anker got in touch with me, and after I told them this charger was not working with the 5x, they sent me this one amazon.com/gp/product/B00SSMRB9A/ to test out. I haven't gone on a drive long enough to really make any grand conclusions yet, but the phone does charge...

    Google Nexus 6P USB-C car chargers?

    Re: USB-C car chargers? 5x users, stay away from this car charger. amazon.com/gp/product/B00VH84L5E/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00VH84L5E&linkCode=as2&tag=scvo-20&linkId=U3QZNTJAGSMLHL6U Just got it yesterday, and it does not charge my phone. It appears to...

    Haven't noticed anyone say this yet, but the Nexus 5x is just like...

    Stop me if you've seen this somewhere, but I've been reading reviews, first impressions and forum threads (and shamelessly watching dozens of unboxing videos) all over the place as I've impatiently waited for my black 32gb Nexus 5x to arrive, and I haven't seen this brought up before. I just...

    Nexus 5X homescreens

    I use the app "Awesome Icons" with Now Launcher, and you can use custom icon packs. It takes a little more effort to choose every icon, but the customization options are really cool. You can mix and match icons from different packs, too. Might want to give it a look.

    Are google servers down?

    Same here on both my nexus 10 and virgin supreme. It wouldn't bother me much if the servers are down for a short time, but I can't log in to Google voice to make wifi calls with Groove IP. That means I have to use minutes on my virgin plan if i want to make calls. Which sucks.

    "low memory signaled by the system"

    Thanks for the tips, guys. I'll tinker around and see if I can get it to stop.

    "low memory signaled by the system"

    This system warning keeps popping up on the bottom of my screen, and I'm not exactly sure why or what I need to do about it. Is this happening to anyone else? It doesn't appear to be causing any problems, but it is annoying, and if I can fix whatever the problem is, I definitely would like to...

    Nexus media importer connectivity issues

    Yeah, I'm sorry. Here is the correct link: Nexus Media Importer No, I am not rooted. I am stock, but when I upgraded to 4.3, NMI stopped working properly. Apparently, it's a random problem with no discernible pattern. But this work-around has fixed things. I only had to do it once, and I am...

    Nexus media importer connectivity issues

    this seems to be a 4.3 issue with me. and according to this: nexususb.blogspot.com/2013/07/android-4html, it's not affecting all models, just random devices. I really hope this works. I haven't tried it yet, but the suggested work-around seems like a pain if you have to repeat the process every...
