Reddit was all bitchy about Facebook checking for location data periodically in the background. They want to be able to disable that part but still get location sharing, photo tagging with location, etc.

Excessive background tasks and services is the kind of thing that you wish'd they would crack down on, but then they'd have to actually police the play store.

Inbox announced on Twitter "new features" rolling out and no more invite system. Apparently there will be some Inbox details coming a bit later in this presentation.

EDIT: Trip Bundles, Signatures, Custom Snooze times (maybe they work now), and swipe gesture defaults (now delete!)

They already do police the play store. Anything that played YouTube in the background (a TOS violation) was deleted from the store only as soon as Google monetized background play in YouTube Key.

I know this forum's Android users like to joke about all the platform's failings, but I left Android for an iPhone just this week (not moving my tablet, though) and I encounter stupid issues doing things that should be simple, like disable the system's Mail client and share links with a third party app, which I still can't do.

It does make all this Android Pay with fingerprint scan hype feel like I'm living on the Enterprise. I just don't buy their battery life promises, though. I've been struggling with wakelocks and background processes for 18 months.

Seriously, android is absolutely not ready for something I depend on. If I had a nickel for everytime I opened my N5 and the camera didn't work or when I answered a call I get "Trusted Face has Crashed" and the phone locks up, I'd have a ton of nickels.

Disable Trusted Face and your camera will work (most of the time). That camera daemon has never worked on the Nexus 5, as in it literally launched with the "Cannot connect to camera" error.

That reminds me of my TMo HTC Wing. Brand new out of the box it didn't have enough memory to launch the camera. You had to go into the Task Manager to kill apps before you could take your first picture after a boot.

I was surprised to see the example of Nest/Wear integration being a watch app that allows you to change the temperature. I'd hope they'd just detect I've started driving home and adjust accordingly.

As an avid golfer I just installed this to check it out. Doesn't have the functionality yet.

edit: nevermind, it just doesn't work well. Also the info it tracks is based on your wrist, not the club so it's worthless.
