What's the solution to this issue? Is there an Android update available for the Nexus 6 that will correct this problem? Can Priority mode be disabled?

A relative with no home broadband just got a new HP wireless printer that works with Google Cloud print and she was able to get it set up and print from her Chromebook. She uses her phone's hot spot for Internet access. So both the Chromebook and the HP printer connect to her Android phone to...

I just tried factory resetting my Nexus 7 tablet and connecting to the hotspot on the Nexus 6 phone and I was able to use the hotspot connection to restore the tablet. It didn't prompt for Tap and Go to transfer the account. Instead it asked me to type "set up my device" in the Google app and...

One thing that's unclear about Tap and Go is whether it is really transferring new live data directly from your old phone to the new phone or restoring backed up data from your account stored on Google's servers. I also wonder if it will also end up transferring Samsung bloatware apps to the Nexus.

It doesn't open your device to everyone connected to the hotspot. You use NFC and the Tap and Go app and approve the file transfer on both devices and have to enter your PIN to start it. It may be transferring the files over NFC or else up to Google and from one and then down from Google on the...

I don't think it is transferring the files directly between the phones over wifi. Isn't it either transferring over NFC or uploading the files up to Google and then down again over the Internet. Even if it was, you are explicitly permitting it for that specific session by using the Tao and Go...

Why couldn't you connect the new phone to the hotspot of the first phone since the new phone only needs Internet access? Why wouldn't this work? 1. Turn on NFC on Samsung phone. 2. Enable Google Photos to backup local pictures. 3. Install SMS Backup and Restore and the Add-on for clould...

There are only a few photos she took plus more MMS photos she was sent by others that are still in her Messages logs. Most of what she needs to move to the new phone are call logs plus her MMS and text messages.

How fo you "copy the backup to the Nexus?"

I don't know what Samsung Smart Switch is, but most likely it is something designed for switching TO a Samsung phone or moving between 2 different Samsung phones. She is switching away from the Samsung to the Nexus. The phone is not for me and I will be helping her on the phone (I will call her...

We need to transfer photos, texts and call logs from a Galaxy Grand Prime to a Nexus 6. There are very few apps installed, so it is mostly the personal data that's important to transfer. Contacts and email are already in Google. I thought of using the built-in Tap & Go app since both phones...

Re: Long dial beep in calls What is the solution for this?

Someone told me their T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime makes random long and loud beeping sounds sometimes on calls and sometimes just randomly when the phone is not in use. When on calls the caller on the other end doesn't hear it. Could the enhanced LTE thing affect the Grand Prime also...

I tried using Pocket Casts and it plays podcasts over Bluetooth streaming, but there is a lag. If I launch Google voice search while a podcast is playing, the podcast audio is too slow to pause. This causes Google voice search to hear the last few words spoken on the podcast and try to do a...

Is there any fix or workaround for this? Seems like setting Google voice search to have a 1 or 2 second delay before listening for commands whenever bluetooth audio is streaming would fix this issue. I can launch Siri from an iPhone while streaming bluetooth audio and it doesn't start...
