    Am I missing something? I have folders on my app drawer using stock Pixel 2.

    Pixel 2 Adaptive brightness

    Moved to Pixel 2 from a Samsung S6 and so far all has been great. Digging the Pixel 2. One minor issue, the Adaptive brightness feature seems sensitive. I was reading the screen last night in my den and the screen kept dimming and then brightnening several times in about 3 second intervals...

    What phone are you switching from to the Pixel 2?

    Samsung S6 to the Pixel 2 ... wow. Colour me impressed. Loving the Pixel 2 so far. Mind you, my only real complaint about the Samsung S6 was the horrible battery life I was experiencing. 40% at noon? Hated having to plug the thing in all the time. Pixel 2 is working well and I"m also trying...

    Google Pixel XL vs Samsung S7 Edge ... what do I buy? Yes, another one of THOSE questions.

    I have a Samsung S6 and the battery does NOT last me a full day with my use. Driving me bonkers. So I have an option to buy pretty much any phone I want. And I have narrowed it down to a Samsung S7 Edge which I have tried out for a few hours and I really like. Should last the day battery wise...

    [Closed] Win a Nexus 6P or Nexus 5X in our Fa-la-la-liday Contest!

    I have been a Nexushead having owned the Nexus 4, 5 and both versions of the 7. Recently I have moved to the Samsung side with a S5, S6 and a Tab S 10.5. I'd be interested in trying out the Nexus 6P to see if I am ready to come back to the Nexus family.

    Any chance of Hub on other Android devices?

    You are most definitely not the only one missing the Hub ... at this point in time, having a Blackberry Hub with all the same functionality it had on my Z10 would be my personal "killer app" for my Samsung S6. I would pay for that app. I would pay a lot for that app. - Marty

    I have a BlackBerry Priv, and you have questions. It's time to do the thing!

    What is your assessment of the Blackberry Hub on the Priv and in Android? I know you touched on it in the review but this is the one feature that most of my Blackberry convert peers miss the absolute most. SO hard to explain to a native Android and iOS user how great the Hub was. They just don't...

    Does it bother you that N5 doesn't have SD card slot?

    I have one of these ... Mini MicroSD Reader for Android Smartphones & Tablets by Andy & Rich — Kickstarter ... that gizmo fits perfectly with my Ringke Fusion case. Root and StickMount and all my big media files sit on the SD card when needed. HOWEVER, with the 32GB Nexus 5 I have not yet...

    BBM for Android - Battery drain

    No serious battery drain on my Nexus 4 running 4.2.2. I did uninstall Whatsapp. And the BBM notification is left on. Could this be related to version of Android as it seems from above not everyone using the same phone is experiencing issues? Of all my contacts (about 15 people) only one is...

    android 4.3 bugs with nexus 4

    I had some issues with 4.3 the biggest of which was the phone got very warm for no apparent reason. GPS not on, not playing a video game, etc. I did do the "force ota update" method. Since then I did a full wipe/stock recovery to 4.2 and all is good again. My personal feeling is that the...

    I support by paying for quality apps. Just out of principle I will never respond (consciously anyways) to telemarketing on my phone or ads on my computer and smartphone.
