All of a sudden, sometime in the past couple weeks, my Nexus 5x doesn't want to access my music or photos from before a couple weeks ago. I've connected to my computer and the mp3s are in the /Music directory on the device, but when I open Google Play Music it doesn't seem to access them. It definitely worked fine for months and suddenly stopped. I installed another music player and it also appears to not see the files.
Anyone know how to fix this? Googling hasn't helped.
- K I tried everything like deleting .nomedia file, restarting, Refresh option. Then I tried re-copying the mp3s onto the phone and that worked. #fuckingannoyingnb

How does everyone sync their Outlook contacts (desktop app, not cloud)?
So far, it looks like it is nearly impossible. I do NOT want my business contacts in Gmail.

You people seen the next google phone? Called the Nexus S.
Been seen on various sites and documents and recently engadget got a copy -
http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/…
Very similar to the Samsung Galaxy S i9000 (named captivate, fascinate etc on different carriers). Which is pretty much the fastest smart phone out.
Hardware made by samsung, software by google, thats win win. Samsung are awful at software updates, google are very good with their flag ship handsets.
Said to have a better hardware spec than the already mega powerful Samsung galaxy S i9000 (which is is based on).
Think ill probably be getting one.
- this post was me, 3 weeks ago. Excited, optimistic and happy at the thought of the nexus S. FU google. ...fu.Hombre_Lobo_2

I am still waiting for Lollipop to be available for the S5!!
People wonder why the adoption of new releases is slow, blame the manufacturers!! There stupid need to "customize' and add bloatware slows the world down.

If your keyboard looks/behaves like shit, install this. The material design themes are the best.. most of the others are retinal rapers...

My Nexus 5 has been buggy as shit since lollipop.
- My nexus 7 is flawless so farset
- Runs like a dream on 5.0set
- I have the opposite experience. 2013 Nexus 7. Almost smashed it against the wall after Lollipop. So unresponsive.GRAC
- Have you done what I suggested below.. ?set
- Do you have 20,000 apps installed?set
- Not that many apps. It's not really slow but some things are buggy. Wifi settings for example. Opening avilable networks takes 30 sec.GRAC
- 30 seconds. I did factory reset. Haven't tried Clean Master yet.GRAC

I've had the LG G2 for a week now, it's simply a brilliant phone. Massively underrated. Such a shame it comes with the awful LG software as it really, really cheapens an otherwise superb bit of kit.
Battery life is the best I've used to date and the screen is perfect... that bezel.
Managed to get it looking quite nice with a bit of customising.

My GS2 is over three years old and I'm thinking of replacing it by the end of the year. I wouldn't mind staying with Samsung and getting the GS5, but I've heard the LG G3 is pretty good too. Any other Android phones I should consider?

"Android beats Apple to 1 million app landmark"
Wow, that doesnt impress me at all, there's is so much crap in the app store of Android, it's like a joke. It's not the quantity that matters, its the quality.
The real title should be:
"Android beats Apple to 990,000 crappy app landmark"
