    Post [DISCUSSION] Remix OS 3.0 Out for Pixel C!

    It's ok but not something I'd use long term. I flashed it, played around for about five minutes and went back to stock. Too many annoyances such as huge padding on the left and right of the desktop (wasted space drives me nuts), can't remove icons from the desktop or move items from the menu to...

    Post Pixel C?

    So far it's pretty decent. I installed after figuring out how to unlock the bootloader first (something you should update in your instructions). First impressions: I'm not sure why I can't drag from the menu to the desktop and I can't remove icons from the desktop (only uninstall them) this is...

    Thread Differences between using with Samsung and Non-Samsung Phones

    I was wondering if someone can tell me what to expect differently when using a Samsung phone? I'm currently using my gear s2 with a nexus 6p and thinking of getting the S7 but only if there are enough benefits to using it with the watch. Can someone who is aware itemize the advantages of using...

    Thread Doesn't maintain Wifi Connectivity or Cloud Sync

    I've noticed the watch doesn't seem to maintain wifi connectivity nor does cloud sync appear to work. As soon as I'm out of bluetooth range, the watch shows disconnected. I've re-entered the wifi password numerous times but it refuses to remain connected to it. Has anyone else experienced this...

    Thread Nexus 6P having issues with Smart watches - Anyone else?

    I'm not sure if it's my 6P or Marshmallow but I'm having tons of issues with disconnects on my three android watches. I have a Sony Smartwatch 3, an Asus Zenwatch 2 and a Moto 360 Second Gen.

    Thread Zenwatch 2 over Sony Smartwatch 3?

    I've got a sony Smartwatch 3, I'm wondering if it's worth getting a zenwatch 2 as a replacement for it? I find the bands on the SW3 very uncomfortable and am looking for a better experience.

    Post [POSSIBLE FIXES] Battery drain 5.1.1

    My battery life has drastically improved once I factory reset after all of the updates were complete. Now I've gone from full to 78% since last night. Watch was used from 9pm to 3am, then turned off, then on all day today and that's all the battery that's drained so far. Very impressive as far...

    Thread Metal clasp digs into wrist

    Does anyone else have this issue? The metal clasp trends to dig into or pinch my wrist when is on. I'm referring to the metal part that the silicon band slides through. Has anyone come up with any easy ways to resolve? I can't find a leather band anywhere.

    Post Nexus 9 Official Folio + Keybord case

    This is a great keyboard folio. I was hesitant with some of the complaints here but I think it does a great job, the magnets are strong and as long as you use common sense and hold everything (when closed) so that the binding is out, there's no reason I can see how the tablets going to slip out...

    Post 8.4 & 10.1 & 12.2 Impressions

    I'm thinking of going back to my gpad 8.3. This tab is slightly too sharp at the edges and uncomfortable to hold for reading and even with a better screen, the battery is not much better if at all. I think I prefer the gpad. Sent from my SM-T320 using XDA Premium HD app
