    Screen Randomly Turns On

    My 6P's screen was randomly turning on (showing the clock) when I wasn't touching the phone. I ended up tracking it down to the app LightFlow. Since uninstalling that, all is well. If anyone else has similar issues and you find other offending apps, please post them here so we can gather a list.

    Nexus 6P Phone App Swipe

    This is not really an earth shattering problem, but on my new Nexus 6P phone the phone app doesn't have the typical red phone/green phone icons when getting a call. You just get a vibrating circle and then have to actually start to move it before the red and green icons show up to accept or...
