    Help Safe factory resetting for NFC/Android pay?

    Seem to recall from years ago if you had android pay set up and factory reset you would lose the ability to use NFC payments forever. Is this still the case? Is there a safe way to android pay before resetting the device? I also plan to encrypt the device before resetting.

    Help downloaded OTA file location?

    My 16GB Nexus 5 has downloaded OTA updates, but my choice is to manually flash the Android factory images. Where are the downloaded OTA updates kept in the filesystem please? I need to delete them in order to free up some space. I could search for them if I knew their naming conventions. Thanks.

    I broke it!

    I can't believe it, but it's true. Dropped it and smashed the screen. It still works but it looks so sad. I can't decide what to do next - what would you do?
