I have the daydream. I use it like a cardboard as I haven't gotten daydream to work on the phone yet. (supposedly its possible.... I haven't read up on it though)
Its super comfy, and even as a cardboard device, It works pretty damn good.

Reading up I see the new Moto phones are supported but not the nexus 6p or 5x..... disappointed would have liked one for Xmas

Audio problem with new Nexus 7

Purchased new Nexus 7 32gb with mobile data, frankly I considered it the best tablet I own (I own 5 including an iPad 2 and a 16gb Nexus 7). Suddenly today while listening to some music the audio became super static-ey , like a busted stereo speaker. My replacement is on the way but I wondered if any else has had this experience.

So maybe we just got defective units, because my first N7 was a 16gb and its still working great. I just upgraded for more storage and mobile data which made it almost perfect. They will probably break down and give it an SD card slot and a rear camera and it will reign supreme in the tablet world.

My speaker started sounding like crap fairly randomly....rattling like broken.
Actually I believe the speakers are just coming loose in the housing.
I have seen this happen with phones before.
Not a big deal though...replaced with new with no issues.

Yeah! Got replacement Nexus 7 32gb in hand, hope it is as sound as my original 16gb. I think this is my favorite tablet, OK, I love this device, OK ... I said it. I wonder how many others got slightly defective units, and if they got a solid replacement. I don't care if I have to send for 5 of these until I get one that's right.

I have a question. I recently rooted and installed that beats drivers thing on the market. It sounds..average (using headphones BTW) the.. I decided to uninstall , the audio just sounded so off. Then, after removing the file in system, the audio sounds HORRIBLE. Base is distorted as hell! Someone help! I tried to use equalizer but it says something wrong with my framework!!!

Trusted voice

Anyone else noticing "Trusted Voice" isn't limiting the unlock to your voice?
Was sitting around with a friend the other day and his OK Google set off both of our phones.

It's been that way for a while, I can imitate my friends voice. Also doesn't help that people tend to hang around other people that sound and look like themselves.

Does Samsung Gear VR work with Nexus 6p?

Anybody have it and use their 6p on it? What do you think?
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
How could it work?...
You realize the Gear VR has a MicroUSB connector right?
The micro USB doesn't even matter. Plenty other phones have that and they don't work. It's Samsung only. Maybe one day though. The gear s devices now work so there's hope.
Didn't even know, thanks guys! I won one in a contest and just wanted to make sure before I sell it.

The black and grey versions are sold out [emoji33]

The recent reviews on Amazon the last couple of days have been terrible and the complaints on the issues are consistent with each other (poor button response, floating SP ect...) Looks like otterbox needs to go back to the drawing board on this one.
Anyone here who actually had the defender in hand care to verify the issue or there experience.

I gave up on Otterbox many years ago. I've used UAG cases on all my phones since the iPhone 5 and can't imagine using anything else. Just got my UAG case for my Note 7 today and love it as much as I've loved it for every other device. I can't recommend it enough.

Best review so far and and it looks like 3d touch

This is the best initial hands on review I have seen so far and it looks like it has a type of 3d. Touch ,look gorgeous in this video

Interesting, looks to me as if they've just changed the behavior of the long press, long press for the menu and then drag the menu to move the icon maybe?
There's no evidence of a pressure sensitive screen but this is a good way to implement without additional hardware.
Certainly didn't see it mentioned in the keynote or an immediate reviews that followed,or the exposure control on the camera either,wonder if they will be both pixel exclusives

I have seen exposure control and af/ae lock mentioned somewhere, I think it was a hands on video. Unfortunately for us the layman just wants a point and shoot that makes excellent auto shots so I wouldn't be surprised if Google omitted them.

He is just *****ing about semantics.
Is it a proper review? No.
Is it a hand's on / preview? Yes.
Is it useful and shows more than any other hand's on I've seen? Yes.
There, that should make all of the grammar police/nit pickers happy.

Just to add all reviews I have watched do far were on my phone or tablet,i watched this one on my TV ,and it does show off how good the device looks.A bit like the 6p it's going to be one of those you have to get in hand to appreciate it

Some incorrect info:
Said it supports QC 3.0 - false, it's USB-PD.
Said fingerprint has no other features - false, it supports notification pulldown.
Good points. I'm curious to see how useful the notification pull down on the fp is.

Yes I posted that in the YouTube link,FP does have some gestures

About as useful as it sounds. On my 6P, it'd be great... that is a yoga move to get to the notification bar, so I used Nova and just do a pulldown anywhere on the screen. I may not use Nova with the Pixel XL though since it seems like some features may be baked into the stock launcher, so it could be useful... then again the screen is also smaller. Very user dependent based on hand/finger size lol.
Actually there were a lot of inaccurate information in that video. He is just going off the small amount of information he knows. Nice high quality video of the phone though!
3D Touch on Iphone is pressure sensitive whereas on Pixel you get different options depending how long you touch screen. I presume long press gives option to add widgets from individual apps where supported.
