    Help Weird touchscreen issues

    About 3 weeks ago I noticed a problem on my Nexus 5 while running Marshmallow preview 3. In some cases the upper part of the touchscreen was not responding, like for example pulling down the notification menu or clicking on the settings button in some apps. I guessed it was a problem with that...

    Broken power button?

    Hi guys. I bought my 32 gb Nexus 5 on December from Google Play Store. Last week I noticed that 1 of every 5 times I pressed the power button for sleep/awake it acted like I had pressed it twice very fast. For example, if the screen was off and I pressed the power button, the screen went on...

    Users login

    Hello guys. I was planning to get a Nexus 7 1st gen when I won a Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 on a raffle. It works for me eventhough it`s not as fast as the Nexus.

    Help Can't open SIM tray

    Hello guys. A month ago I needed to use a different SIM card for my Nexus, so I used the extraction SIM tray tool that comes in the box to extract and place the new SIM. Now that I wanted to place my SIM back, I was not able to pull it out. I even tried with an iPad tool that is a little...

    Help NFC file transfers (android beam)

    I got an S2 T989 for my gf on ebay (unlocked). I have a Nexus 4 and I was excited to transfer files with her phone via NFC as I do with a friend's Xperia. But I haven't been able to do it. When trying to transfer a picture, I place both phones close, I hear the sound that let's me know there's...

    To case or not to case.

    I'm on a huge dilemma right now. I've always used cases on my phones because I use them a lot for work and pulling it out of my pocket so constantly increases the chance of dropping it. I dropped my old Inspire a few times and the hard case it had protected it so well that after a year it barely...

    Phone getting warm on heavy use

    Last night I was playing Eternity Warriors 2. After a while (about 30 mins) I got bored and decided to play Ashpalt 7.
