I upgraded to Marshmallow last night and use Nova launch (prime version). When I enable this launcher, I lose the status from all my screens -- no battery icon, connection icon, notification icons, ect. If I use the stock Google Now launcher, they are all there like normal. I can't seem to...

So.. my Nexus 5 is rooted with TeamWin Recovery installed. Nothing else, so I'm basically stock. I've gotten the notice to download/install 5.0.1 and do that. The install starts and I end up at a Teamwin screen showing me options on "tiles" like install, settings, reboot, etc. If I go into...

I've noticed that when using Google Maps to navigate from one place to another and my phone plugged into a car charger, the battery will still drop. Does this mean my charger isn't supplying as much power as the Nexus 5 can take? Or that's just the nature of using GPS/Maps -- it's...

I recently got a N5 and when on Bluetooth (i.e. actually on a phone call) synced to my Ford and using Google Maps... I can't get the directions to NOT come over the car's speakers and interrupt the conversation. When not on a phone call, everything is fine -- directions come from my phone's...

Why don't cases like this seem to get much love: Amazon.com: LG GOOGLE NEXUS 5 SOLID BLACK BASKETBALL TEXTURE TPU RUBBER SKIN COVER HARD GEL CASE + FREE SCREEN PROTECTOR from [ACCESSORY ARENA]: Cell Phones & Accessories Most that I see.. the back of the case, which is what ends up being...

Interesting.. I just got the OTA update, but it clearly said 4.4.2. It was about 50mbs -- installing as I type. I never got 4.4.1 -- hope that doesn't matter! Edit: added a screenshot post update. It is 4.4.2. K

So... I'm unlocked & rooted and would like to disable the camera sound for the stock camera. I had been hoping that 4.4 would include this option, but it doesn't. I use ES File Explorer and I navigate to where the camera_click.ogg is, but I can't seem to do anything with it. I can't rename...

So.. I got the notice that I was upgrading to 4.4 and was all happy. It did the download and then install.. but during the install there was an "error" and I got a nice little picture of the Android icon on its back and the words "no command". Rather cute, except for the whole no command...

A recent trip to NYC really highlighted for me just how terrible, utterly terrible, the camera is on the N4. My friend had an HTC One and it took wonderful pictures... while my N4.. well, let's just say, the one good thing about having the N4 is that I didn't have to actually take any...

Should there be any performance/access difference between Aio Wireless and StraightTalk with an AT&T sim? I've a Nexus 4 and Solavei (TMobile) just doesn't cut it with a deadspot outside my house they say there's nothing to be done about (even though the coverage map is all 2nd best...

I don't recall any other phone I've had doing this, but when I go into the Gallery app there are there albums: Camera, screenshot, and Auto Backup. The Auto Backup has a little chrome icon in the lower left corner... How do I delete this backup? I turned off photo syncing with Google+...

I go the OTA update to 4.3 today, but lost the Navigation icon. If I go into Maps, I can still get to navigation, so it works, just no icon. I went into play and "uninstalled" Maps and then updated it.. but still no blue triangle Navigation icon. Also tried searching on just...

So.... I rooted my Nexus 4 (no ROM, so still stock) and am trying to setup Google Wallet -- but all it does when I run the app is timeout after a long, long time and say "Google Wallet has stopped working". If I log into wallet.google.com, it says I have no devices. I've gone into...

Soo... I just got my N4 and have a question about the screen. Not sure if this really bothers me or is just a fact of the type of screen. When the N4 is off, I can seen a faint grid on the screen -- almost like the frame in a window. I tried to take a picture of it, but it didn't come...

Is there anyway to get wireless charging on the HTC One? I imagine it's an issue to do with the aluminum body... but, for me, if it can't be done, the phone (as otherwise perfect) just isn't an option.
