    Accessories PSA: Tempered Glass Screen Protectors

    The Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are the first Google devices to use an optical under-display fingerprint sensor. These work by illuminating the spot where you place your finger so that the camera under the screen can see your fingerprints. Many users have already found that some tempered glass...

    Anyone on Matrix?

    I just recently discovered Matrix.org and the beautiful Element client. Combined, they offer secure end-to-end-encrypted communications between individuals or even large groups wrapped up in a well-designed and easy-to-use interface. I'm a pretty big fan so far. It also seems to have rated well...

    Reviews I have the Pixel 5 - AMA

    I spent some time with the Pixel 4a earlier, and now I've had a chance to use the Pixel 5 as well. Let me tell you, these are both fantastic phones, and I'm really excited about what Google has done with the Pixel line this year. The 4a is just $349 and offers an unparalleled user experience...

    Pixel 5G Fine Print

    This whole 5G thing confuses the crap out of me so I was pretty pleased to come across this Help Center article with ALL the details: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/10082009

    Pixel 5 Full Specs

    I'm sure these have been regurgitated to death, but I really like the clean no-fuss way the details are presented over in the Pixel Help Center: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/7158570

    Reviews I've got the 4a - AMA

    Hey guys, I've spent a few weeks using the new Pixel 4a as my primary device, and I've got to tell you that this phone is awesome. I've used every Pixel released so far and this $350 beauty is quite possibly my favorite. The OLED display is visibly larger than that of the Pixel 3 and Pixel...

    Post-Announcement Thoughts? Who's getting one?

    So now that the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL have been officially unveiled and the official full specs posted, what do you think? I was really impressed by the camera-related stuff. That super-magic-zoom that they demonstrated was straight nuts - I really want to couple that up with a spotting scope...

    Pixel 3a Announcement

    I don't know about you guys but I'm honestly more excited about the 3a than I was about the Pixel 3 - and I love my Pixel 3. https://blog.google/products/pixel/io-pixel-3a/ You're getting 95% of the same experience (including that industry-leading camera) for half the price.

    Help Pixelbook Uncertified

    The Google giveth and the Google taketh away... So while it seems like Chrome OS v62 (stable) brought with it an experimental Night Light feature, it's not all good news. I noticed after a powerwash (reset) yesterday that I could no longer install some Android apps, like Netflix and The Elder...

    Night Light!

    It seems like Night Light has been available in the Dev and Beta Chrome OS channels for a bit, but I just realized that it's also accessible with the v62 Stable that's on my PixelBook. Just head over to chrome://flags/#ash-enable-night-light, enable it, restart, and dip over to Settings >...

    Help Ticking sound?

    I've noticed a faint ticking sound when I hold my Pixel 2's earpiece up to my ear while the screen is unlocked, and it seems that I'm not alone. It's very quiet - on par with a ticking wristwatch - and seems to occur every half-second or so. I've also found that it only happens while NFC is...

    I'm loving this launcher!

    I stepped away from Action Launcher 3 last week to give Evie a spin (after reading an interview with its developer by +JR Raphael: http://www.computerworld.com/article/3186755/), and I'm honestly rather surprised by how much I'm enjoying it. I figured it would be like most other non-AL3...

    Android O Preview

    Anyone else brave/foolhardy enough to flash your daily driver yet? Based on the release notes, I really expected things to be more broken than they apparently are. I'm not sure I'd recommend that you run this on your only device, but so far it seems to be fairly decent. Lots of nice visual...

    Android Auto sans Auto - Android Auto

    I've been really enjoying the recent Android Auto update to allow standalone use of the app without being tethered (literally) to a supported head unit - I think I even like it more than the clumsy, limiting experience provided by those special stereos. Anyone else?

    Application links? - Channels

    It would be pretty cool if the app icon which appears at the top of a Channel thread in the traditional web/forum view could function as a link to the app on the Play Store. @stevealbright I'm posting this from the Channels app so you have to do it.

    Accessories Martian Notifier: The Watch that Wants to be Smart

    Everybody, it seems, wants to be in the wearables game - but there's not a lot of agreement on what the rules of that game actually are. You've got companies like Pebble that opt for e-paper LCDs and big friendly buttons, brands like Apple that want a square touchscreen that goes black after a...

    Accessories Black Mesh Strap!

    In lieu of the official mesh straps that Huawei teased us with months ago, I believe I have found a suitable substitute. Unlike many that I found on Amazon, this one is a 22mm band with cutouts for the Huatch's 18mm lugs - just like the stock band. I think it looks pretty sharp, and it fits...

    Huatch Black Friday Deals!

    Amazon has some pretty excellent deals on various variants of the Huawei Watch: • $300 w/ leather strap (not avail. from Google) • $300 w/ stainless mesh strap ($320 from Google) • $320 w/ stainless links (not avail. from Google) My favorite variant is priced the same at both stores: • $350...

    A Pebbler's Guide to the Huawei Watch

    I backed the original Pebble smartwatch on Kickstarter a lifetime ago (or at least it seems that way), and I wore it daily since its arrival two and a half years ago. Pebble got a lot of things right from my perspective. I enjoyed the always-on e-paper display, the easy-to-press buttons, the 50m...

    Huatch: Speaker Inside!

    So Android Police did a quick teardown of the Huawei Watch and made an interesting discovery: Looks like a tiny speaker! To date, no other Android Wear device has emitted sounds, and the Huatch doesn't do so currently... I do wonder what Huawei has planned for that speaker though. Could be...
