    It's gone quiet.....

    Gave up on my N6 mostly because I was tired of missing out photos, so I feel you. In the end I'm so glad I changed now - initially, I wanted to wait for the Pixel 2 to come out.

    I have two N6s with cracked screens. What are they worth?

    I once sold a half working Nexus 4 with a broken screen for about $20. I would think you could do a bit better from your phone that is still working, but not sure by how much.

    Thoughts from a Nexus user?

    Some random feedback after receiving my device on Monday. Maybe it will help a fellow Nexus user thinking about getting a Samsung phone. Customization I'm laying low with customization: no Nova launcher or google now launcher, sticking with touchwiz as it is for now just to see how it goes...

    Thoughts from a Nexus user?

    After almost five years of using Nexus devices (N4 and N6), I am getting a galaxy s8. Can any former Nexus user reflect on their time with their galaxy s8/s8+, what they like and dislike? Did you guys try to make your phone look like stock android, or just gave up on the idea and embraced...

    It's gone quiet.....

    I'm still here, hopping I can hold off until pixel 2 is announced. I might have to get a wireless charger until then as it's becoming increasingly difficult to charge the phone with a cable nowadays.

    Gmail and Email apps not syncing

    it could also be that the app has been optimised for battery life. In that case it will not sync until you open it. had his problem with Gmail, Allo and Google photos on my wife's phone.

    taking a still from a video

    Just tried it and I find their frame grabbing feature really neat. Still uses the date of the grabbing rather than of the video, but so far one of the best I have tried.

    taking a still from a video

    Not sure about the naming, but when my wife does it with her Z3, even for videos that are a couple of days old, then the pictures have the same time and date than the beginning of the video.

    taking a still from a video

    Thanks for the suggestions. So far I haven't found something satisfactory. One problem that keeps coming up is that all the screen captures are dated from the day of the capture, rather than of the video.

    Moving on from the Nexus 6. Pre-ordered a Galaxy S8+. Don't hate.

    My wife just got one (the smaller one) and we're in the process of setting it up. Do you have any specific recommendations or advice for someone coming from stock? (For example, we're just getting around the always on display, but I much prefer the way it is implemented on the Nexus, by...

    taking a still from a video

    Just switched my wife's phone from an Xperia Z3 to a galaxy s8. One thing she dearly misses is the ability to capture stills from videos. This is built in Sony's video editor and seems pretty good. Can anyone recommend a good app that does that?

    help replacing my wife's xperia z3

    Priorities are the following (in order of most important to less important): - better camera than her z3 - preferably below flagship price - more internal storage (she had only 16GB, so 32GB would be ok, 64GB even better) - not made out of glass (i.e. the phone should be able to withstand the...
