Thanks, just bought one of their cases for my 5X because of this post. Wish they had a few more color options but I'll settle with gray for now just to get something on this thing so I don't feel like I'll constantly drop it.

I miss the purple case I had and the sparkly pink my wife had for our Nexus 4 cases, but Diztronic gets my business every time regardless.

If you order the first molding of the 5X case that covers the bottom microphone hole, they'll just ship you a new case if you ask. Pretty amazing.

Impressive.

Need to turn it off for nine and tasker, though.

Depends on what you have installed. I don't have any problems with hitching or lag, but I don't gently caress around with too many apps. It sounds like something might be trying to sync in the background, loving up one way or another, and panicking.

Don't have a whole lot installed that didn't come with the phone (which I got from Motorola). Awful App, Puzzle&Dragon, a Notepad, Rune Story, TeamViewer, XCom:EW, Google Play Games, and that's it.

Oh and Jellybean Keyboard, speaking of, what's the best keyboard these days?

Hey I just got a nexus 5 for the first time I think it has all the latest Android updates.

When I use the google voice poo poo to speak to the phone to make reminders it doesn't auto fill the description for the reminder from what I initially said. Is it supposed to work that way?

Also the Google search made its way to the middle of my home screen instead of at the top like it was before anyone know where the settings to change that?

Shits pretty cool otherwise though

It shouldn't because it uses practically no power at all so there is not really any reason you should need to know it is on or off, unless you consider it a security issue.

Stock android doesn't show either its on or off.

Reminders only have a title field, not description, so I have no idea what you're talking about. "Remind me to pick up Joe from the airport at noon tomorrow" should make a reminder with the title "Pick up Joe from the airport" with the time set to noon.

Are you using a custom launcher? By default the N5 should have the search bar at the top, and you can't move it. Maybe take a screenshot and show us.

Did you order from Google? Their shipping estimates are absurdly conservative, mine shipped 11 days before the prediction.

Did not unfortunately. I'm thinking at this point I'll just have to give it a factory reset and see if the problem is still there, I'm pretty much out of other ideas.



I did determine that in PAD at least what is causing the horribly stutters is the music looping (even while turned off, I guess it still runs and plays silently). That's really weird, the only thing I can imagine is it's trying to reload the song and that's causing a stutter for some reason. I'm clueless.

E: Well apparently this problem specifically is a compatibility issue with PAD and Android 5.1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XndDaVcRZMA

Apparently the fix is to use the developer setting 'Use Awesomeplayer', which I'm assuming is an older way of handling music playing? Kinda weird. Wonder if this will solve the random stutters I've seen in other software.

Yeah I ordered from google, says est. delivery date is Nov 18-20

I'm probably not gonna be home until Nov. 24th [over the road trucker] so I'm gonna have to wait regardless lol

Is there a built in android feature to preserve the battery?

My Moto X seems to have a shot battery, I've only ever had it unplugged for short bits of times, more often than not going down to 80-90% battery, but my battery life is abysmal now. I can only imagine keeping it charged to 100% most of its life has not been good to the battery. I wanna take better care of the 6P battery.

Just got my sim card from T mobile(they helpful just cut my old one) for my 6P and was wondering if I need to do anything for my new phone. Back when I had a galaxy nexus people were telling me to calibrate the battery. I don't know if that was a thing back then, or if that info is still valid.

Speaking of the 6P's battery, I used 6:30 of screen-on yesterday and it was still at 29% battery. That was with basically no screen-off and on Wi-Fi the whole time but I am still really impressed. I also used two hours of screen-off GPS this morning and it only lost 10%. Reports of mediocre battery life in reviews seem to be misplaced, in my opinion.

What happens in the course of duty is up to you...
Which reviews gave low battery life? Did they give a specific number? The ones I saw were around 10 hours of screen on WiFi Web browsing or whatever which is top tier outside of maybe a few phones with an "oversized" battery.

GokieKS

Mostly Harmless.
My 6P made it through about 40 hours of my normal light usage with being on WiFi most of the time and BT on always and hit about 18%. My old N5 would be down to about 35% after the first ~14 hours.

Absolutely no complaints about the battery life.

I guess I'm mostly thinking of the Android Police review:

quote:

[...] here's what I'll say about the 6P's battery: it lasts all day for me, and not much longer. I can generally expect to have it off the charger for about 13-14 hours before hitting the 15% "low battery" warning, with about 3 hours screen on time during that period.
Seems that most other sites were more positive.

Is the 2013 Nexus 7 still the least senseless Android tablet?

If it is, that actually makes the oversized phones coming out these days make a lot of sense. And yes I realize what I appear to mean by oversized as a 2014 Moto X Pure user.

Yes, as far as I know. I'll be sad when it stops getting updates, mine is still my primary reading device.
