This weekly Sunday thread is for you to let off some steam and speak out about whatever complaint you might have about:
Rules 1) Please do not target any individuals or try to name/shame any individual. If you hate Google/Samsung/HTC etc. for one thing that is fine, but do not be rude to an individual app developer. 2) If you have a suggestion to solve another user's issue, please leave a comment but be sure it's constructive! We do not want any flame-wars. 3) Be respectful of other's opinions. Even if you feel that somebody is "wrong" you don't have to go out of your way to prove them wrong. Disagree politely, and move on. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Why so few OEM camera apps can read QRcodes? Posted: 04 Sep 2016 03:34 PM PDT So the one from Asus in my Zenfone does but the official Google camera app on my Nexus doesn't, and a friend with a Galaxy says Samsung's app lacks it too. Why is that? I thought QRcode licenses had no royalties involved [link] [comments]  | ||

| Nexus Protect Review: Not Quick, Not Worry-Free Posted: 04 Sep 2016 12:29 PM PDT So for the first time I actually have tried using the Nexus Protect service that was purchased in addition to my Nexus 5X Phone. I wanted to provide my experience with actually trying to use it as it might be good information for those thinking of purchasing it with their Google Branded devices. First lets set the scene for what type of user I am, as I think it meshes well with how many of the readers of this forum are aligned. I am a google product evangelist. I buy most new Nexus devices, have too many Nest products, and end up replacing my phone nearly yearly. Old phones are kept around for various purposes. In short, I dont need the Nexus protect for the extended duration, I needed it for the quick and worry free claims. Earlier this weekend when using my phone, it froze, and rebooted, but never came back to life. After researching, clearing cache, setting to factory, etc... it was declared a lost cause. It was dead. Stopped even booting. So, on to the Nexus support forums, then to Nexus product support. They quickly agreed that the phone required replacement, however, since the phone is defective, and not "damaged" (um, it doesn't boot, its damaged) so it gets replaced under the device warranty, not the better warranty I paid extra for. I reminded those on the phone that I had the enhanced protection, but they were clear, it simply didn't apply. I would get a replacement device, in 5-10 days. I said it was unacceptable, and that I expected the device right away, as I had paid for the enhanced service... right? Well no. Here is where I could rant... but rants are not allowed by forum rules. I will simply say this. Google's Nexus protect, does not give any users benefits when dealing with "normal" warranty issues. Instead, you are stuck with the non-enhanced experience, no matter how mad it makes you. So, if that is the type of experience you had hoped for, go to Best Buy and get the concierge service, goto Costco and get their warranty, hell, goto Apple and get Apple Care, but do not expect the "quick" or "worry free" experience with Nexus Protect on warranty claims. It just isn't there. I am curious, what are other's experience dealing with Nexus Protect for their devices? Does anyone have a different tale to tell with respect to warranty claims?

| Some thoughts about Ara's failure Posted: 04 Sep 2016 11:15 AM PDT I heard Ara canceled about couple of days ago and I'm really disappointed about that. I expected Ara could clean up some of low-level fragmentation issues of Android. For example, we can boot any Linux distro on any IBM-PCs. One ISO can drive parts from Intel, AMD, Gigabyte, MSI, Asus, Dell, Samsung, etc. However, in mobile, we could not do that even they're using same SoC, same camera module, same gyroscope, etc. Some exceptional cases, like LG Optimus G and Nexus 4, they can boot some of each others firmware but /it is just an exceptional case on mobile world. It may unburden weights from custom ROM devs because if that standard spread widely, it will provide much cleaner, less fragmented environment to devs. Although with only Ara, we may not reach point like "One zImage to rule them all" (https://lwn.net/Articles/501696/), at least, it will make some drivers "plugable" and I thought it will solve lots of low-level fragmentation problems on Android. For now, it's time to say goodbye to Project Ara. Little bit sad about it but.. yes, its over. :( [link] [comments]  | ||
