    Anyone else having problems with Bluetooth audio lately?

    I think this is a duplicate thread. Try this.

    Beta 7.1.2 (NPG05F) is Out

    Glad that's the case for you. :) I was having my usual bout of stuttering music via Bluetooth on 7.1.2. Only a factory reset fixed it (for now). Google Support told me today that they are aware of continuing Bluetooth issues; it's not fixed yet.

    Anyone else having problems with Bluetooth audio lately?

    I'm still on an Android beta release, I guess ... Android 7.1.2 (Build NPG05F). The tech tells me that they know the betas have Bluetooth problems. Every 2 months, I have the stuttering music via Bluetooth in my car (2014 Chevy Malibu LTZ with that unimpressive MyLink system Chevy uses); using...

    Any 6P users got the Google Assistant update yet?

    I had to talk to Google Support today regarding a separate matter. He looked up the latest info he has about the Assistant rollout -- all he knew is that everyone should have Assistant by sometime Sunday.

    How do you know you have Assistant then? Screenshot please.

    Any 6P users got the Google Assistant update yet?

    Still no Assistant on my Nexus 6P, too. Funny that a lot of other phones outside the US have been getting Assistant, but the Nexus 6P in the US still does not. I tried advice written by some of those users ... no luck: Wipe cache for Play Services and Google apps. Go into Google App > Settings...

    Phone Status Screen Info

    Long story short, I had a few of issues with my phone yesterday. Last night, I unenrolled from Android Beta. Google states that I should have received an OTA for stable Android after leaving the beta -- never received an OTA. Is my phone status info below the same as other stock Nexus 6Ps...

    New to 6P...

    Oh, when the phone is asleep in landscape position, the daydream feature flashes constantly rather than just showing the clock, as its supposed to do. -- never a problem in Marshmallow. Dammit Google.

    New to 6P...

    Nougat has some issues -- at least on my phone even after doing a factory reset. I miss Marshmallow, at least until Google irons out the quirks. When my phone is idle and laying in landscape position (i.e.: in the cradle in my car), the phone recognizes "OK Google" but does not unlock the phone...

    No Pixel for Me

    I see no real harm in making payments on a phone as long as you complete the transaction interest-free and pay off the equipment as early as possible. What really matters is that one NEED the phone rather than just WANTS the phone.

    Will Nexus 6P get Google Assistant?

    That's kind of nuts. hehe. I prefer telling Google to "add milk to my grocery list" and be done with it rather than... 1. grab the phone 2. unlock the phone 3. find the Keep app 4. find the Grocery list in Keep 5. add a new line item in my list and type "milk" 6. back out to save the change 7...

    Will it work well without a Pixel, Pixel XL phone?

    Cool. Did Google make that claim during the keynote?

    Will it work well without a Pixel, Pixel XL phone?

    Hi all. I'm a Nexus 6P owner with no plans to upgrade to the Pixel XL. One detail about Google Home that I've missed is ... how well is Google Home expected to work if a Pixel phone is not part of my home setup? I mean, are there any limitations to Google Home if there isn't a Pixel in the...

    No Pixel for Me

    Re: PIxel is a disaster, will cause Android to fork I think Google is doing the right thing ... they need to offer a complete ecosystem just as Apple does. If Samsung and other manufacturers fork Android, that's fine ... I will just continue to ignore their offerings. No worries.

    No Pixel for Me

    Re: Are you getting the Pixel? What are your reasons? (for? against?) Probably in their shopping carts after taxes, etc. Last I checked, the black 128GB Pixel XL is the exact same price as the black iPhone 7 Plus 128GB. I love water sports (kayaking); so, the highly water resistant iPhone...
