    Help OTA to 7.0 on my Nexus 6 Lost Tethering :(

    Anyone with a Nexus 6 on Metro still able to tether on Android 7.0? Did some Googling. Seems a couple entries say you have to root and change the build prop to enable tethering with 7.0. But, there is hardly any info out there on Losing Tethering with 7.0 and I assume if it were widespread...

    Nexus 6 visual dating clues?

    So I am planning on getting a used N6 from Swappa. Of course, I'd rather get a 6 month old one than a 2 year old one. Some sellers are not the original owners so they don't necessarily know the age. Are there any visual clues to determine an earlier or later production phone? I read you can...

    Did you know Google Now, "Navigate to blah, blah" works?

    One thing that's always been a PIA of Navigate for me is setting the destination easily and quickly. I usually put it in ahead of time it's such a PIA for me to do on the fly. (Driving) So tonight I'm listening to Erica Griffin's N4 Mother of all reviews to see if I'd missed anything good with...

    Any rooted Metro Nexus 4 pilot want to try this tether app? It looks promising

    The Metro S4 guys say it's the only one that works for them. I pulled up the N4 reviews and they looked good. I ask the developer via email about the settings for the N4 and he answered back in 2 hrs to use the default settings on the app and that there are Metro users of the app. I would...

    Is ANYONE Successfully tethering on Metro with a Nexus 4?

    And if so, how?? (I put this in Metro instead of the N4 because it's more a Metro issue *I think* than a N4 issue.) I was tethering fine over the weekend using Ultimate User Agent Switcher but it looks like this morning Metro put the slammawhammy on me. I got it to connect to Gmail and...
