LastInLine posted:Remember when this behavior was announced at the Lollipop preview and everyone was like Oh yes! This is going to be great! and I was skeptical and then it came out and the end result was that you have a billion tabs open and completely lost in a sea of every app you've ever used so you can never find the one you want and no idea what's even on those tabs because some came from links and some came from other tabs and you never close any of them? My first thought was "this worked ok on the Pre" but that's because you never had more than a half dozen cards open anyway. With literally every app on the phone in the "recents" stack, not so much.

I'm getting a hilarious amount of home screen redraws on my N5 running 5.01. Also constantly losing Google Play Music, Pandora and Netflix in the background. Get your poo poo together, Google!  Pee pee doo doo it is a bad operating system.

I've had almost no issues with 5.0.1 on my '13 N7, except for last night when the video bug appeared again. Restart fixed it. Only time it happened since I flashed 5.0.1 whenever it was available on the Factory Images page. The N5 on the other hand can't get a solid update soon enough.

ThermoPhysical posted:Looks like 5.1 has a bug with Chromecast that won't let you set it up if you must. For gently caress's sake. In other news, I had three sudden restarts today! First time my N5 has ever done that. Awesome. Maybe its a subtle way of it telling me to get the gently caress off 5.0.2 already? First time was really odd, I was trying to swipe away a card in Now and it would redraw the launcher at the home page each time I tried. Restarted after the 2nd or 3rd attempt.

wooger posted:Pretty sure they never released 5.0.2 for the N5, so you can't blame the goog for that if you have a hack job. I was dumb, it is on 5.0.1, flashed the factory image. And it restarted again the first time I tried to reply to this with Awful.  I'll be flashing 5.1 tonight, and if it doesn't work out over the next week, back to 4.4.4.

There honestly shouldn't be any reason that the glass is part of the function of the charger. The coil underneath is the actual interface. I'd put some packing tape over it to avoid cutting yourself, and give it a shot. For a better looking DIY fix, find some thin acrylic or other clear plastic and cut it to the shape of the glass, and replace the glass with it. Then you get to look at the guts!

Any idea what is causing this or how to stop it? This screenshot is obviously from Link Bubble, but it happens in Steam as well, and other browsers (can't recall if Chrome has done it or not). This happens on both my Nexus 5 and Nexus 7, which throws me for a loop by the text of the error, because the N7's network pretty much never changes. If I reload, it loads the link fine. This has been happening for a few months at least. Both are on 5.1.1 now, though this was going on from 5.0.1 or so at least. I see it something like 3-4 times a week on the phone.

Any good suggestions for a 3x or 4x USB port wall charger that will reliably output at bare minimum 1.5A if not 2A over all ports to Android devices? I just bought a generic one that was an Amazon daily deal earlier this week, and 3 of the 4 ports are for Apple devices and only give my N5 USB spec power. Would use it with a a couple N5s, an N7 and occasionally a Pebble (negligible, needs like 0.1A to charge).

Not much shock protection at all, really just some protection against scuffing the phone setting it down. Also generally a little bit cheaper than most of the TPU cases. sirbeefalot fucked around with this message at 17:44 on Jan 27, 2016 |

Google Play Movies question: when I rent an HD movie on my 6P, it tells me that "this movie will play in SD on this device. You can watch this in HD on a compatible device like a Chromecast or most Android devices." What gives? I watch most of them on my TV via Chromecast anyway, but still. Not 100% sure it happens with all rentals (I only rent when my Rewards balance allows), but it happened last night with The Hateful 8.

The Photos app on my wife's Nexus 5X doesn't see/display device folders beyond a couple exceptions (like Instagram and one other), and even those exceptions don't show current photos. What else can I do beyond clearing the app data to try and get everything to show up? Screenshots, downloaded photos, and several other photo generating apps just don't show up for her in Photos>Device Folders. All of that shows up for me on my 6P just fine. Hoping to avoid a factory reset, but if that's the only other suggestion so be it.

E.T. NO HOMO posted:.nomedia file in the folder?? Just an update, there was a .nomedia file in the root of the storage directory for some reason. I don't have one on my phone, so I dunno what put it there for her. Anyway, it seems that that was keeping Photos from seeing anything except for a couple exceptions: Instagram, Screenshots and Beam. Nothing else was showing up before, and now new stuff added does show up. Older photos that are still in those directories are still MIA though. Good enough, I guess.

The 6P has kept up with everything I've thrown at it over the last 6 months. Unless it gets warm, then it's throttle city. Anyone else's have this problem? E; for instance, one time I was trying to take several photos of a process someone else was doing. It got so bad the shutter button wasn't available for about 10-15 seconds after each shot. That particular manifestation only happened once, but good god. sirbeefalot fucked around with this message at 04:48 on Aug 16, 2016 |

Welp, I just wrote up a long bitchy post about how my 6P barely holds onto any of the 5 or 6 cables I've got, when I decided to actually pick at the port on the phone instead of just using canned air. I pulled a disturbing amount of very compacted pocket lint out of the port, revealing the grounding (?) pins at the bottom and allowing the cable to be inserted about a millimeter deeper. Much better now.

wyoak posted:Is there a way to disable Guest accounts on a Lollipop tablet (or Marshmallow for that matter) without rooting? It seems remarkably stupid that if someone walks away with a tablet I can't lock them out from using it, so I feel like I must be missing something. Android Device Manager also doesn't work when the guest account is logged in, which also seems really really dumb. Please tell me I'm just missing a setting somewhere. In Marshmallow on my old N5, there's a checkbox in the overflow menu on the Users settings page for "add users when the device is locked" that makes it so you can't get into the guest account if it hasn't been set up/used before, and the device is locked with PIN/pattern/etc. If it has been used, there should be a notification when you switch to it to delete all guest data. That's the best I can find.

Zero VGS posted:If it is anything like the 6p then it also probably shows notifications and time on the screen when you pick it up from your deck or pocket. The notifications are in greyscale and don't seem to impact the battery much. Thank you, for whatever reason reading this was the final impetus I needed to turn active display off on my 6P. It has never been that useful to me, and it drives me nuts that whenever I pick the phone up I either have to hit the power button twice to turn the screen completely off before putting it in my pocket, or I have to wait for the active display to turn off again. If I don't make sure the screen is 100% off, it is pretty much guaranteed to start doing poo poo when it touches my leg through my pocket.

I'd love to hear a little more about it as well. On paper the Axon 7 is more appealing than my 6P right now, and I can get it with no interest financing for 12 months through Best Buy. Only thing the OP3 has over it is the headphone jack on the bottom. Why don't more manufacturers do this? sirbeefalot fucked around with this message at 16:14 on Oct 7, 2016 |

Axon 7 owners/general Android camera question maybe? Is the "okay" camera/photos on the Axon 7 a symptom of the default camera app, and maybe improved by using a different app? Or is it simply a function of the hardware or underlying firmware? I'm already seeing some degradation in performance in my 6P after a factory reset this past weekend, and I'm held up on the Axon by that one bullet point.

El Mido posted:Yeah I've resigned to not relying on the auto mode in anything but sunny conditions. In dimly lit scenes HDR can tend to overexpose/blow out the image unnaturally (which is nice for making a legible photo but not as nice for accuracy) and if you turn it off Night mode engages and it's pretty much useless if you don't have the world's steadiest hands. This is good to hear. I wish the two at Best Buy near me worked, maybe they've just got dead batteries. Pretty sure they're not just appearance models, anyway.

Stan Taylor posted:Trying to choose between a OnePlus3, Pixel, and an Axon 7. Mostly use my phone for texting, listening to podcasts during my commute, getting directions and some social media apps. I mostly want good battery life, followed closely by reliability/updates. I don't think I've ever had my Nexus 5 last a whole day unless I barely turned it on at all but I love that I can still use it just fine three years after I bought it. I'd be willing to pay the extra cost of a Pixel if it means I can use it for three years. Rarely play games except for non taxing stuff like Pixel Dungeon or Hoplite. Very rarely watch videos. I mean, the Pixel is the obvious #1 choice here if you can afford it. It is the newest, and will most certainly get updates the longest of the three. Past that, I would personally go with the Axon over the OP3 from just what I've read, and having handled the Axon. Debating replacing my 6P with an Axon, but the camera quality is giving me pause and the display models at my local Best Buy weren't charged when I stopped in.

Check out this post about someone saying that Google is now telling people that the some 5x devices may have been sent a Pixel software update and that's what bricked them: I just dealt with it (wife's 5X, started bootlooping during use last Saturday), but with an out of warranty 5X purchased from the Google store. Got a replacement shipped with zero effort on my part. Still going to sell the replacement (bought an Axon 7 since she was starting a new job right after the holiday and needed something, and I could pick it up at Best Buy in an hour), but if it really is because of a bad software update... goddamn.
