    Why won't my devices show on cast options?

    Thanks for the suggestion; I also tried just disconnecting and reconnecting WiFi on my phone, and instantly the devices appeared. We'll see if that keeps working in the future too.

    Why won't my devices show on cast options?

    This is pretty frustrating; I have two chromecasts and a Google Home on my wi-fi network. So theoretically, whenever my Pixel is also on that network, I should see those three things available to cast to. It's very hit and miss; sometimes they all show, sometimes just one or two, and sometimes...

    Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL Pre Order / Shipping Discussion

    Received my Panda from Verizon yesterday, been geeking on it non-stop after upgrading from my beloved Nexus 6. I must have got a good unit because I see no burn, retention, smearing, etc. The colors look great to me, I'm not into that hyper-real cartoon color palette. Yes, there's a bit of a...

    I placed my order for my Stormtrooper right on 10/4 through Verizon, not Google. Shipped today, will be here Monday or Tuesday.

    New Feature I am IN LOVE WITH - SMART LOCK

    I very much like and use Smart Lock as well, but I hate when it locks at a location that should be trusted. I must have about 50 dropped pins around my house and work. The thing I REALLY want is trusted WiFi networks. Ergo, when I am at home or work and on their WiFi, no lock. THAT should be...

    Ah I see. I'm using CM Cleaner to achieve the same effect.

    Why do I hear no sound when I call "ok Google?"

    What is Lookout? I don't have that in my accessibility menu.

    Why do I hear no sound when I call "ok Google?"

    This is actually a pretty widely known "fix" but what sucks about it is that it does things in other apps that are not desirable. On my Nexus 6 for example, the camera app then has manual zoom buttons overlaid, and the YouTube app has controls overlaid on the video you have to "x out" to make...

    They rolled out 7.0 Nougat to my Nexus 6 back in December. It's listed in the software updates on the website.

    The delay is over: Android 7.1.1 for Nexus 6 coming Jan 2017.

    I just re-enrolled in the beta to get 7.1.1, same as I did for 7.0....wonder why nothing is coming through?

    Why does Gmail app keep hiding stuff in my inbox, primary tab??

    I keep having an issue where what is on my android gmail app (stock android M, nexus 6) does not reflect exactly what is there if I go to gmail on the web. Right now, I have four emails in my primary; the oldest is from 7/28/16, it is starred and "important". I have in my settings the "days of...

    Google Now not reading Text Messages

    So just a few days ago, Google Now stopped reading my text messages, unread or read. I try "read text" "read sms" "read messages"....all end up with "I didn't find any" and there most certainly are. It is doing this whether I use the standard messaging app or Hangouts. I have a Nexus 6...
