Google's wallpaper + 10's screen Posted: 02 Nov 2016 01:39 PM PDT Hey all, I just want to say the new wallpaper App from Google is awesome. Stunning images and it really made me do a double take on my HTC 10's screen. It really highlights the capabilities of the 10's screen. Makes it feel like a fresh phone. Maybe I just always had boring wallpapers |
Posted: 02 Nov 2016 01:33 PM PDT Without a doubt, the Pixel and Pixel XL is a well designed and manufactured device. Made by Google, (with the tremendous help from HTC) the Pixel isn't the best looking device, but it has certainly grown on some. Is it safe to say that this is the signature Pixel look for the next few years? Would you say its likely that Google would only implement minor, if any, changes to the look next year? Just as the iPhone has a distinctive look that has remained, I think that Google wants a Pixel to be recognizable without turning it on. IMO, the glass back near the top is here for a while and the bevels will remain. |

Removing PIN to decrypt device on startup Posted: 02 Nov 2016 01:21 PM PDT I see that on the newer Android versions there is an option to remove the PIN requirement to decrypt a device and only enter the PIN to unlock the screen when encryption is in place (thereby allowing remote connection via an MDM tool). Does anyone know if this is possible for older encrypted Android devices? |
Anybody NOT using screen protector? Posted: 02 Nov 2016 01:19 PM PDT Anyone not using one? How has the screen held up so far? What do you use to clean it with? I used alcohol wipes on my old phones before... Thanks |
How to organize pictures, etc.? Posted: 02 Nov 2016 01:11 PM PDT I took my phone to Metro PCS outlet from where I purchased and asked an employee to help or show me how to organize my pictures of various sorts and place them on my SD card. Three are now in Gallery under two names, several under My Files in the SD card, with others (some duplicates under "Drive" (whether in internal memory or SC card, I do not know). Is there not a simple way to rearrange all of these files (pics) on my SC under different sub titles like folders on the hard drive of a PC? Your step by step of how to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated. PPP |
Couple of Pixel quality of use questions Posted: 02 Nov 2016 01:08 PM PDT Hey all, still enjoying my Pixel but I have a couple of questions that I'm hoping you know the answers to: 1. Is there a way to sort the default "photos" app in such a way that the default text messaging app does not simply show -every single photo- your phone and Drive account have? I have several albums made but when I go to attach something I just get a mass of every photo available. 2. Is there a way to change the default "swipe" behavior on messaging from archiving to deleting? I don't want to archive my text messages, I just want to delete them. I'd like to be able to do so without having to long-hold and then select the trash can icon. Thanks! |
Airplane Mode Unable to find Specific Wifi Networks Posted: 02 Nov 2016 12:52 PM PDT Hi, I am LG G5 running: 6.0.1. I had issues with this on vacation in another country. I would keep airplane mode on to avoid any sort of background roaming fees that may occur. However, I still needed wifi at our accomadation so I could use the internet for planning. While in airplane mode certain wifi networks would not appear while in airplane mode. I could see other wifi networks while in airplane mode, but not the accomadation's wifi in airplane mode. I have an apple iPhone 4 I use for music still and I could see the wifi network while in airplane mode. Eventually for no reason the network became visible for connection and I was able to connect to wifi in airplane mode. However, it would occassionally dissappear again. (Wifi was turned on, phone reset, factory reset performed, issue replicated on two different androids LG G5 and Nexus 5). Does anyone know why Android 6.0.1 is unable to locate and connect to certain wifi networks while in airplane mode? Any help will be appreciated - thanks, |
How long is Verizon's carrier exclusivity? Posted: 02 Nov 2016 12:52 PM PDT I was wondering how long Verizon's carrier exclusivity was for? I have Sprint and receive a partial monthly credit back to cover my lease or installments. I am really wanting this to replace my Note 7 until the 8 comes out. |

Google Voice legacy app stealing voicemail messages from hangouts Posted: 02 Nov 2016 12:42 PM PDT Ever sense setting up my Pixel I've had issues with the legacy Google Voice app stealing visual voicemail messages from Hangouts. Also on this phone Voice app won't display the yellow banner "opted into hangouts". The outgoing caller ID changing to my GV # does work though. All worked on my 6P. Super frustrating, I'm losing messages. |
