Ever get this thing working consistently? Mines been off and on forever. Such a waste of a good feature.

I agree I don't know why they took the swipe up from the middle of any home screen to open recent apps overview. Also, no more dock popping up with recently used or "suggested" top 5 apps ? Wtf? Instead we get a 3rd option for a screenshot and "select text" message like we didn't know we could...

Full reset/data wipe from recovery mode will do the trick. Just make sure everything's backed up, app settings etc and it won't take long at all.

J Dubbs Ive noticed when swiping from left to right , switching between apps (with the gesture bar/line?) at the bottom, some apps act super strange at the bottom. You can tell they're not ready for A10 yet. How can you not use one or two 3rd party apps?

Except for new features, increased efficiency, & security improvements.

The XL's in line for the official Q update plus security thru October I think. Possibly longer from what I've read. Get your money's worth & grab a 3a in 5 months when they go on sale. Tech never holds its value but with Google phones you can make it happen.

I tried this to remove the time (possible in Oreo) with the Nova activity shortcut but the time just comes back after the phone sleeps/locks. I hate having the time always in my face. Say it's weird but sometimes I can't sleep and I like to read. Seeing 2am, 3am, 4am, 5am gives me anxiety.

Google Search has been part of the phone app since the Nexus 4/Kit Kat days. I know for the 6P it's always been there. It has to be enabled in settings, Nearby Places & Personalized Search Results.

Yessir.. Just got off the phone with Google again for the 3rd time this has happened. (3rd effin phone I mean). It's in my opinion, due to the wifi antenna segments on the corners weakening the bond or something. Maybe not but it has only happened to each of mine right where those antennas...

I know if the proximity sensor is blocked, ambient display won't come on at all. Hopefully a future update will bring a Moto peek type feature.

I dont want anything referred to as being a lemon. Or being dropped. They should team up w Laffy Taffy & shake dat laffy taffy.

I have the latest Nexus 4 and I've had the same issue with the radio signal since day one. Even with 4.4.2 it's still the same. I just figured it was the area I live.. the T mobile coverage map shows my address being in a pretty good area but once I'm a couple miles from home the signal drops...
