Make sure your play music queue is clear.

Ok I've cleared it, will see how it goes next drive. Weird that it was picking that track since I never added it to the queue, though.

Your problem there was assuming it had hung, wiping the cache via recovery on lollipop takes for ever, 10 to 15 mins some times.

Not much help now but just so you know for next time

Marshmallow seems like it takes about twice as long. I think it took my Nexus 5 with 82 apps about twenty minutes versus the ten or so in Lollipop.

Did anyone ever figure out if wiping the cache in recovery does anything different from doing it within the settings menu?

Anyone with a Nexus 6 having camera problems since updating to 6.0? Mine has started stuttering and crashing often, as well as that "cannot connect to camera error". All of this goes away for a bit when I manually close the Camera app, then comes back later :(

I spent months waiting for the 5X to be announced knowing it would be the phone I want to buy, and then they made the price in Europe totally stupid and uncompetitive (480 EUR..., which is what a new Galaxy S6 runs for new and unlocked on Amazon).

There certainly seem a lot of differences in the plugs and the force required to plug them into the USB-C port of the 5X. Some brand cable with gold contacts and that bullshit requires more force than I'm comfortable with, where as the off-brand one I received today just needs a little more than what a Micro-USB one needs, feeling actually right.

Weird issue. I listen to podcasts via Bluetooth on my car stereo on the way to work but for some reason for weeks at a time my Z1 decides when I first connect it automatically to start playing a random Google Music track (at the moment it's trying to play the first bit of a Hemingway audiobook).

Any way to tell the phone not to start google Music when it notices it's connected to Bluetooth?

I've been having the same issue with Poweramp even with having it set to do not resume with Bluetooth. This is on a Pure style X.

Got my ice blue 5X last night, I've not held the white one but for anyone wondering the blue is basically a hard plastic without any kind of rubberized coating at all. Feels kinda slippery in my hand. Definitely going to need a case for this so I don't feel like I'll drop it while holding it.

Same for the white. I have one. It's the "egg-shell" type of back. It'll become less slippy with use, because an invisible layer of body gunk will build up eventually.

Every time I yank a jawbone from a skull and ram it into an eyesocket, I know I'm building a better future.

So I have been having problems with my LG G3, recently it has been very laggy? Like when I type something it freezes then all the words come out at once, or when I open a text message it has a 5 second delay. This problem has only happened recently too which is weird. Any suggestions, this is an unrooted phone on 5.01 btw.

Today when i woke my moto x 2014 was off and unresponsive. I forced a reboot and it has been in a reboot cycle ever since. I can get into recovery, and have tried more than once to delete the cache, and even perform a wipe, but these processes fail and i am presented with an odd screen where the "android in distress" flashes on and off very briefly in a loop.

When in recovery, i have several messages telling me e: can't open cache /recovery/log, /last_install, /last_kmsg.

I have chatted online with motorola support and it was as much help as you can imagine. They suggest replacing it. I would like to avoid this if possible.

Unless this is the unlocked variety where you can reload the OS yourself I don't see where you have a choice here.

Gonna eat so many goddamn crumpets.
So today I set up my Nexus 5 X and started the process to transfer my number from AT&T. Shortly after starting up the phone and setting up my fingerprint/email account/etc., I got an e-mail saying "Your service is activated." I understand that this means I'm up and running with Project Fi in so far as my billing will start, but I should expect some subsequent, different e-mail to let me know my cell number has transferred from AT&T right?

The Project Fi support page says "You’ll get a notification on your Project Fi phone when your transfer is finished." That notification is something different from the e-mail that told me my service is activated, right?

Really, so cheap? It's 580€ in Finland, more expensive than a S6.

Edit: I remembered wrong and actually it is "only" 480. Time to wait for discounts.

Is the genre tab under Browse Stations what you're looking for? You can also filter by genre under Top Charts and New Releases.

You see, I live in a country that is not the United States of America, and as such the sections you mention are pretty barren.

--edit: In cleartext, none of the sections you mention let me chose any genre at all. They just list a bunch of songs and albums, respectively, and that's it. I have a total on ten radio stations, nothing I want to listen to.

Dumb question, I came from an iPhone and when I would try to type something into the chrome address bar I would get a ".com" and "/" button shortcut. I moved over to the Nexus 5x and those button shortcuts don't exist. Is there something I'm missing in the settings to add this feature? The shortcuts also exist on my Nexus 9 and I didn't do anything special to that. Am I just being stupid?

I'm in Belgium and was using Spotify out of a necessity (had a WinPho). It doesn't behave as I'd like with Bluetooth devices, notably my car, thus the switch back to GPM. While the impaired discovery options (more like missing) are not a back breaker, hiding a bunch of genre filter options behind regional locks is a loving stupid idea. I don't even get the idea behind this.

Well, I found a Dance/Electronic radio station hiding between my stuff on the Listen Now page, I suppose it's because I chose a bunch of that stuff when resubbing. However it's littered solely with big name artists, not really helping.

Fuuuuuk, what's wrong with the Diztronic cases? Looking on the Google product page, at a picture with the charging cable plugged in. I see the charging port obviously, and the headphone port. The diztronic cases have cutouts for those. And there's a tiny hole in the middle, which the Diztronic case doesn't have a spot for. Is that the third microphone? And based on the location that's the one for actually talking into?

So I guess I should email them too.

Thanks, I did see the Cable Matters one, but I was thinking its only USB 2.0, shouldn't I have 3.1? But the 5x is only 2.0 so I guess it doesn't matter.

You can try searching for the name of your desired genre under Browse Stations. Also, at least for me, once you've listened to a couple songs by artists you actually like you'll start getting loads of related suggestions. And the suggestions so far have been better/more varied for me than they were on Spotify (seriously gently caress Spotify's radio algorithm, where disliking an artist/song every time it comes on does absolutely nothing).

Yeah that's between the USB and headphone port. Email them direct or reply to the Amazon marketplace email they sent they'll take care of you. Think I'm going to try drilling my own hole there in the meantime.

Correct 2.0 is all you need for the new Nexuses. I have the 3ft Cable Matters cables seem good so far, fit with less force than the LG cable requires.
