    Loud speaker

    If I wanted to make a call hands free by going through "OK Google", is it possible to activate the loud speaker at the same time? Thanks.

    Screen off when laid down?

    Just getting used to my new Pixel XL and so far so good. I previously had the Nexus 5X which was fine until it died last week (known common issues after Oreo update apparently)! One thing I'm not sure about is the setting where I lay down my phone and the screen automatically shuts down but...

    5X Dead following Oreo Update:

    Hi all, Well today, my much loved 5X has died. As I pressed send for a text, the phone rang at the same time from someone else and the screen froze. Now it will not power up and after a lot of research it appears to be none fixable. I can access the recovery/boot loader options by pressing POWER...

    Alternative Type C to Type C Charger

    I could do with another charger for work but not willing to pay Google's prices for one. I see the ones on a popular auctioning site stating "fast charge" but the leads show Type C to Type A USB which surely can't be right for fast charge? Are there any good alternatives out there at good...

    Battery poor after update?

    Hi all, My 5X had a great battery life until the it updated to 7.1.2 (I think). I could go upto 36 hours without charging while using it moderately but now I struggle to get a day out of it. Is this coincidental or have others found this to be so too? Also, I would like to buy an extra Type C to...

    Lack of support?

    My Nexus is still in great condition and been well maintained & looked after since I bought it four years ago. I'm quite OCD with installing too many apps and quite aware that apps can slow the phone down a lot, but recently I'm noticing my phone is becoming very unresponsive. It feels quite...

    Music at work?

    I want to either play MP3's or stream internet radio through my nexus while at work. It's a VERY noisy environment and would like to set up a cheap system that would boost the loudness of the music although I am not too bothered about the sound quality. If I was to purchase something like...

    Help USB amplifier?

    HI all, Basically, I work in a noisy environment and would like to listen to music/radio from my Nexus phone. Obviously, the volume would need to be amplified so that I could hear it. I'm currently using a friend's old 'ghetto blaster' running through the headset jack via a 3.5mm lead, I then...

    Help Annoying pop-up

    Nearly every time I go onto a regular forum that I frequent, I get an annoying pop-up advertisement on my mobile phone. The ad is about dating agencies and gives a URL in the pop-up. If I click 'OK' on the pop-up it then takes me to Google Play Store and wants me to download a dating agency app...

    Help Second 4.3 update draining battery?

    As the title says, I received the second update (security patch?) and ever since, my battery doesn't appear to last as long. I haven't downloaded anything extra nor have I been using the phone any differently. Has anyone else got the same issue? Thanks.

    Nexus 4 4G?

    I have recently upgraded my tariff to the Three 'One Plan' which gives me access to their 4G connectivity hopefully later in the year. I know that the Nexus isn't compatible with 4G but will the Nexus 4 be able to accept it? I need to upgrade so was thinking about the S4 but the Google Nexus 4...

    Hi all, I still have the Flash Player Settings app on my Gnex running 4.2.2, but do I still need it installed as I now believe Flash doesn't support Android?

    Best way to increase volume?

    There's no doubt that the Gnex volume is absolutely pathetic even when using Volume+ (pre-JB). I'm not sure if it's just mine or if others/all are the same but I can't hardly hear my phone ringing when its in my pocket, TV apps are virtually unhearable unless in a very quiet room. Are there...

    Non-rooted Volume+ settings?

    Could someone please show a screenshot of their Volume+ settings on a non-rooted Gnex please? I really don't know how to modify or understand the 'safety' limits without causing damage to the phone. Thank you.
