    Music player app with spotify integration?

    Hey guys, my mum has a Z1 and she recently got the 5.0.2 (I'm pretty sure that's the one) update and she's been having a few issues since. Call quality has dropped, people on the other end sound robotic, especially when using bluetooth and she sounds muffled/quiet to the people she's taking...

    Help Who's moved from nexus to Samsung?

    Who's done it? Why? Did you hate it? I have a nexus 5 and I was thinking I'd either get this year's nexus 5 or 6 or even a moto x style or something but my wife recently got an s6 and it's nice, really nice. I honestly never expected to like it as much as I do so it's got me thinking that...

    Both my wife and I experienced terrible battery drain today on our nexus fives and the culprit for both was the Facebook messenger app! I uninstaller the app and while it was gone the battery was fine but reinstalling caused the drain again. I'll uninstall it again, obviously but I'm curious...

    An-bros! My wife's Nexus 5 has been leaking battery like a mutha hugga since yesterday. She just got a fitbit and we thought that might have been the problem (I expected having bluetooth on all day would have some impact on battery life, but her phone is dropping like 20% an hour!) so the...

    Root 5.0.1

    I know it's still pretty fresh, but I'm running 5.0.1 stock, un-rooted and I'm on the fence about whether to root or not... I was running 5.0 rooted with Franco kernel and it was a fairly unstable experience, apps force closing, sleep of deaths, etc. so when I updated to 5.0.1 I decided to keep...

    One thing Apple does better...

    Hey dude-bros! So I'm still a fairly recent convert to the Church of Android and while I'm not looking to go back, like ever, there is one thing that my iPhones did WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better than my N5 and that is playing music/podcasts with the screen off and not use much battery. Am I alone...

    What will it take for you to trade up from your N5?

    So, I'm thinking that I might get myself a new phone for Christmas but it will pretty much depend on what is announced/released between now and then. I kind of like the look of the moto x2 or x +1 or whatever it is but I'm not sure if it's enough of an upgrade from the nexus 5...
