Anyway to male txt msg bubbles? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So if anyone has ever owned an LG phone; if you are say playing a game or using the internet and someone texts you, it comes up with a little bubble so u can respond without having to leave whatever application you are in.
Is this possible with the nexus 6? I don't want to download a third party messenger as they all seem to slow the phone up or are retarded in some way or another

Skype's latest mod is terrible!

Hello folks, got a rooted 4.2 32gig Nexus 7. Love it, and I've really enjoyed using Skype with it. And then...the latest update...
Can anyone suggest how I might down rev this version of Skype?
Any assistance will be most appreciated.

Do you not make and keep backups? I use titanium for that sorta of thing! I'm sure you'll find prev version if you use google?

Being that it's a free app, I'm sure you can find an older apk online.

Hi, just thought I would hijack this thread.
I use Skype a lot on my Nexus 7. Whenever a call is incoming, the device wakes up and I take the call.
However, I recently got a nice wrap around case for the nexus with a magnet that wakens the device when I open it, and sleeps it when I close it. Now though, whenever a Skype call comes in, it only rings once and then "hangs up" on the dialer (showing as "no answer" on their side).
Apart from making sure the cover is always open, is there anyway of stopping Skype from rejecting calls when the cover is closed?
Thanks a mill
That sounds like something you may want to send to them as feedback or something. I have Skype but no smart case to test this myself.

Gizmodo: What It's Like to Have a Nexus 7 As a Phone

http://m.gizmodo.com/5973469/what-its-like-to-have-a-nexus-7-as-a-phone
An idea I've been kicking around for a couple months now. I finally accepted that I won't ever own a computer or laptop. I despise my Note 2, the only thing keeping me on it is LTE, obviously the 7 lacks. But a larger screen is something I keep wanting more and more. The only other problem is the worrying dependency on GV in order to make it work.
Very nice article.
I don't think the Nexus 7 will fit in my pockets, and also, Google Voice isn't free in my country and isn't really supported, so I prefer my regular Galaxy Ace for the outside, and the Nexus 7 for the inside .
I use mine as a wifi phone with the groove IP app, when my phone goes dead.

Is there any way to enable the call button in the maps?
I have asked this in another thread but no one could answer.

$225 at tmo is not a bad price
Do you have to be a t mobile subscriber to get that price?

With great respect only you can answer that. The online operating manual is now available for the Sony site. I would suggest you go read it and see if it will perform what you expect of a smart watch or not. Ones mans trash is another mans gold etc..........
Regards.
Thanks...you are correct about what "I" expect from the device. As long as it sends all my texts and emails I'll be good. I work in a dirty factory and hate pulling out my phone

I have it and its ok you can see the text but you cant answer text and you cant respond to text like other smart watches i might return it after a week, theres not many apps either im kinda disappointed
You can reply to anything using s-voice no on-board keyboard. Loving this thing so far and the phone is a big improvement over the note2 (and I loved that phone too).
Absolutely room for improvement and not many apps.. yet. Patience people.

Still waiting 4 stocks here in saudi would like to see demo units
The SMS and Email notifications work great on Gear.
Gmail and Facebook notifications need to work like the above two to be useful and they aren't yet.
Gear seriously needs a calculator app, including a tip calculation function. It's mind boggling that they didn't include one already.
It would also be nice to have a compass function but not sure whether it can support that or not.
can you share a picture taken from great and upload straight to Facebook

Not from the Gear directly, but you can quite easily transfer to the smartphone and then, share from the phone.

its growing on me but it needs playstore access its so good but its bad. the speaker phone is unbelievable the viewing of text is great and this is the best s voice i ever used and i hate s voice, but the bad is the apps the apps is horrible. it needs three things 1. the ability to answer a text with a built in keyboard. 2. Play store access. 3. micro sd slot. If I could get 1 and 2 Ill be happy other than that Im probably going to return it based on google announcement on oct 31

Google hangouts

Before I get bashed by some for not searching...I did search and couldn't find anything about being able to respond to Google Hangout notifications from the gear. I hope that is included in the the new update...thx

Pretty sure that hangouts will come fully to the gear... Its Google's most important toll near future. and Samsung will help there, hoe so too

i'm pretty sure gear is pretty much dead for samsung. they never really cared about it since day one.
the only reason to get one is only because of custom rom. i installed hangout on it and tethered it to my phone and now i have fully running hangout on mobile. i can read and reply to messages and so.
samsung did not even bother to let us use onscreen keyboard to reply texts, why on earth would you think they would be working on hangout for it?

we both know that the way about tethering all stuff will not be the reason for long time. there will arrive a custom rom from somebody which will let function the gear with roms without touchwiz. Then we will see if samsung will wait till google watch arrive or they will open up something. surely both opnions could arrive. for now, samsungs watch is there and living.

No sound on calls ANY ONE WITH INFO WOULD BE HELPFUL

So I install a custom ROM on my Nexus 6 on T-Mobile network, after a few days when I call someone they can not hear me and I cannot hear them. It works fine when I install the ROM and will also work if I re install but then stops working after a day or two, happens on both Chroma and Liquid smooth have not set back to factory yet cause I really don't want to do that anyone else have this issue
