Blue Train posted:they don't sell the one I have anymore but I use something similar to this, assuming you have a USB port and aux port it works fine. a lot cheaper than a new head unit Cool, but it doesn't seem like this would give me the controls through the stereo that I'm looking for as it's through aux.

Historically the fidelity wasnt as good as a wired USB connection but like I said it's been several years since I last tried it so I'm willing to give it another shot

Desk Lamp posted:Works fine on a 2016 Mazda 6, it will read your messages to you and allow you to play/pause music and Youtube from the controls. It does have some quirks occasionally, mostly when getting back in the car after another phone has been paired with it. No Android Auto thus far but you probably know that already. Nice, thanks!

Android n on nexus 5x seems to have great battery life, I think I wont root and enjoy snapchat and android pay. It seems data saver helps with wakelocks? All I will lack is kernel tweaks for battery and app ad blocking, but apps that have adverts are pretty crappy anyway.

Okay so I just updated to 6.0.1 on my Galaxy S6. Mostly fine, except for the lock screen: I have it set to a pattern unlock, but it makes me first swipe the screen before I can enter my pattern. Some furious Googling has been unable to find a solution. Does anyone have experience with this and might be able to help figure it out? It is super annoying.

Yes the solution is to use the fingerprint scanner instead.

No, a Bluetooth signal is subject to interference, USB sends a straight digital signal to the head unit for the head unit to decode. Dedicated head units can cleanly decode the signal so they are the best quality option.

Thermopyle posted:So, BT sends an analog signal? I don't have any insight into this, but this doesn't seem right. It isn't. It's true that Bluetooth is subject to interference, but in a car the interference will be minimal. The interference will not degrade the audio signal, but may cause glitches (depending on whether Bluetooth handles error detection and/or supports retransmission of lost packets). The audio quality reduction is just from compression.

Krime posted:So does daydream (the screensaver) just not work on any device? I've got a Note5 and another samsung tablet that I just cant get it to work on. Screensaver is the official name in N, because Daydream is now a VR thing. Did you set it to activate on "charge" (or "either")? The default "dock" is generally not something people have (and I'm not sure how a phone would detect it, w/o pogo pins). The option is behind the overflow button. e: or a qi charger i guess VVV Grim Up North fucked around with this message at 21:00 on Aug 28, 2016 |

So I just got a Nexus 5X after slumming for years. Can I do VR with this phone? Like, Cardboard is older than this phone so I assume it must be capable, but I've seen headlines saying the Nexus phones are not "Daydream-Ready" or whatnot? And speaking of slumming, the phone I upgraded from was a Moto G 2nd gen. I've never actually had two working phones at the same time before. Is there anything useful/cool I can do with a secondary phone besides keeping it in a drawer in case my new phone spontaneously combusts?

You can do VR just fine with the current gen software. VR video should work just fine. Daydream is the branding for their next generation stuff which will include baseline capabilities for the sensors, BT, graphics, etc. I would not expect the 5x to be compatible with those specifications, but you'll still be able to do VR Youtube just fine.

Well, I've never had a complaint about BT audio quality either (except for jankiness during interference or system load), but I'm not an audiophile so maybe I'm on the old crappy codec and just don't know it.

The volume button on my Nexus 6P bent towards the top. Everything was fine for a few hours and I could still change the volume through the in-phone option, but then my phone froze and I reset it. It bugged out and said "no command", and through fixing it I had to press the volume up button, which was no easy feat. Now it's booted up, but the volume keeps going up on its own; I imagine whatever sensor is in there is stuck so close to the "on" position that it's super sensitive. It's hard to turn the phone screen off because it keeps thinking the volume is being messed with and pressing the power button won't put it to sleep. I filed a claim with Nexus Protect, hopefully it's as fast as advertised and I have a new phone tomorrow. I don't know how this happened or even when it happened because I don't actually mess with the volume that much. So it's time to look into a case so this doesn't happen again. What's the recommended case for the Nexus 6P?
