It seems this week is about Google. Earlier this week, Google had unveiled their new logos for the web, apps, and even their own Headquarters. They have also been a lot of major updates come into the Android apps. One noticiable is that iOS is now Androidwear's second home! So you can use a Moto 360 with an iPhone.
Now to the real big amazing and incredible news. Amazon and at Best Buy has slashed the price of each Nexus 6 model. Yes! You have heard right! The Nexus 6 is now at it lowest price ever! You can now purchase the Google Nexus 6 for $349.99 for the 32GB model in Blue or White and the 64GB model for $399.99! This is major! This is even cheaper than the OnePlus Two and even the new launched Moto X Style! So, make your pick... Which is it going to be? Nexus 6 is the best of the best that Android has to offer and now that it is very affordable compared to the LG G4, Galaxy S6, HTC One M9, and Note 5, how can you pass this up? This is also a hint that Amazon is trying to make room for the new next Nexus devices that are probably launching in just a couple more weeks!
What is Project Fi, you asked? I'm glad you have asked this question. Project Fi makes it easy for you to experience wireless communication with some of the best leading carrier partners and the users, which are you, us.
THE NETWORK
Project Fi will use the newest and latest technologies to keep you staying connected in more places and over WiFi connections too.
You can tap into millions of WiFi Networks in the areas in which you are traveling or visiting to.
Usually, phones only are able to tap into one LTE or 4G network towers. But, with Project Fi, you'll be able to switch between two networks through their towers. With Project Fi, you are using T-Mobile and Sprint's networks. How does it work? Which ever one has the better signal in that particular at the time, you will be placed on that network. The same way with WiFi networks as well. So, if you have more strength of a signal with T-Mobile in your area, then you will be using T-Mobile's network. But, if you have stronger signal with Sprint, then Sprint will be the network of choice.
THE PLANS
Now, for some people, Google's Wireless plans are also competitive. With basics of Project Fi, your paying $20 a month for unlimited talk and text. Thats pretty decent compared to what others cost for just that. Now, here is where it might seem a little tricky for some. The data plans are as follows: $10 per 1GB. The max of data you can add to the plan is 10GB which would be a total for $100. Now wait before you all get upset and walk away from this article and call Google trash. Ok, so its 10 dollars per 1GB, right? Well, let say you want about 4GB of data plus the unlimited talk and text. With all that, you looking at roughly $60/month. Now to some, that could be over price and not competitive at all. With this phone service, its different. So you if you only use up 2GB out of 4GB, Google will credit you $20 back into your account for next time. So you are spending $40 for that one month you didn't use all of your data. If you are around. WiFi all the time, your data shouldn't drop as much. So, that is something to think about when it comes to this plan. Now me, myself, I choose 2GB. With T-Mobile, I never went over my data caps and I only averaged about 1.5GB-2.5GB of data. It really just varied on where I was at and located or what I was doing at the time. So my first month plan will cost me just $40 plus taxes. Which I have already checked and it was additional $4. And yes, Google does charge fees for using this service. It really varies where you live. Also, if you wanted to pause our plan, you can! Google just will credit you what you haven't used and credit it back. Then once you decide to start back, you will begin where you left off. Then if you dont want to use the service anymore at all, you can cancel at anytime.
WHAT COMES WITH PROJECT FI?
First things first. In order to use Google's Wireless Service, you must first sign up for the service. As of right now this is an invitation only program. So it may take a while before you get anything back from Google. Its the waiting processing thats the pain. The next thing... Some of you all might not like this. If you don't already, will need to purchase the Google Motorola Nexus 6 phone. For the 32GB model, it will cost $499.99 and for the 64GB model, it will cost $549.99. But, there might be some sweet deals on Amazon, EBay, and even Google Store right now, if you want look into it. But, I have seen videos where people with Project Fi had used the service with the Google Nexus 5, Galaxy S6 Edge, and even the iPhone 6 Plus! I have no idea, how all this is even possible if Google made the trial service specifically for the Nexus 6. But I will add some of these videos to the site in the future.
Project Fi Sim and Welcome Kit
Now, once you get the invite from Google about Project Fi, the next step is to place your order in. Now Google will ship you your own Sim card and also some great goodies! In the kit alone with the Sim card, you will receive a 6,000 Mah battery, a Nexus 6 phone case, and Project Fi earbuds. All just for accepting the invitation and signing up. While doing all of this, Google will ask you do you want to purchase a Nexus 6. You can say yes or no. Your next move after this is whether or not you want to use your current number and transfer it to Google's Wireless service or to create a new number. I chose to create a new number for it because it was fast and easy and I just chose not to pay the $20 fee to port my number over from T-Mobile to Google, even when I am still using T-Mobile through Google. But, get a number and then you are all set!
Now thats pretty much the run down of Google's Wireless Service, Project Fi!!! Are you interested? Is this something you might be into? Well, see it for yourself.
While there are a lot of consumers out here that really down on the Nexus 6, there are a lot of others including myself couldn't have no better phone than the Nexus 6! Since the Google I/O 2015 has came and gone, and Android M Developer Preview is out, the Nexus 6 is still some good even right now. With Project Fi on the way, there are a lot of reasons to pick up a Google Nexus 6! I'll give you one BIG reason! Just a couple of days ago, Google, Amazon and Best Buy had discounted the Google Nexus 6 with $150 OFF! Yes it even in my title of the post! $150 OFF the regular price. If that not enough, if you purchase the Nexus 6 right from the Google Store, Google is going to throw in 3 freebies for you! Now these freebies alone would cost more than $150! So, you really are saving. From each retailer the Nexus 6 32GB model will cost $499 and the 64GB model will cost $549. Now, to some this is still a lot of money to be throwing out for a big giant phone that really is not offering as much as a Galaxy Note 4 or an S6! But, there are a few things that Nexus 6 will be able to do that them galaxies wont dont do right away. That is stay up to date with the latest Android updates, come with Google Launcher and stock Andorid, and be able to demo Android M right now. Which is, if not the best improvements that I have seen in recent updates. Also, this phone has a 2K AMOLED dissplay and a massive 6 inch screen size! Which means you wouldnt need a 7 or 8 inch tablet, unless you have to have one. Also it has Android 5.1.1 right now out of the box. Last but not least, with the Google Nexus 6, youll be one of the first to try Google's wireless phone service, which will give you cheaper phone plans as well. If all of this alone is not enough to get on board to get you with Nexus 6, then I must be out of mind or from another planet. But if not, then buying this phone will be the best purchase you have made this year alone! You want to know where to purchase these? Glad you all asked, click on the following links below. All comments are welcomed. So, do you all still think the Google Nexus 6 is expensive even now?
Today Google announced their official Wireless Service "Project Fi". Instead of them going solo and creating their own Network. Google has teamed up with T-Mobile and Sprint and Wifi connectivity to make their services work for everyone. So Project Fi will allow to call and text over wifi due to the absence of LTE service.
The point Project Fi is to allow its customers to connect to Google's million hotspot networks. So the Fi customers will be able to connect to these hotspots automatically. Don't worry, your data will remain encrypted even over wifi.
Using the Wifi connectivity will benefit Project Fi's customers for when Google credits you for your unused data. For the basic plan, it will be $20 a month for talk, text, wi-fi tethering and international coverage. If you feel you need to use T-Mobile and Sprint's network, you will pay $10 per 1GB that you feel you need. If you dont use the data, Google will refund you for the amount you dont use. For instance, you have only used 1GB of 3GB data, Google will refund you $20. The Project Fi customers will only pay for what they have used.
For now Google is only allowing this service only on the Nexus 6 smartphone on T-Mobile and Sprint. As of now, this just exclusively to those owners and customer for the EAP. You can get your early access here:
There hasn't been much else said from Google about their new anticipated Wireless service since early March. But, according to the Wall Street Journal, Google is rumored to announce this service as soon as April 22. For those of you that dont know, Google is teaming up with Sprint and T-Mobileto give the consumers the ability to switch from either network depending on which out of the 2 signals is stronger than the other in a area. Google service is also to use Wifi networks for cells and data as well.
Google is also to allow its customers to only pay for what they have used. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal. Most carriers just want you to pay out a flat rate each month even if you don't use all of your data or minutes or text.
The only thing might run the customers away from this service is that you must own or buy a Nexus 6 smartphone. Atleast that is what the plan was originally set for.
As of now, all of this is just rumors. Not for sure or certain that Google will announce this service on April 22. While we also know that Google's I/O developer conference is right around the corner, having Google to make an announcement on April 22 will be a thrill to see and hear.
So, what do you all think about Google's new wireless service and its options? Is this all you would need to switch? Do you own a Nexus 6? Will you buy one now to get Google's service? Leave the comments below...

Hello everyone, for my Nexus 6 users, have you ever wonder why does the Nexus 6 always reboot itself, or freeze up, or even always stops responding? There are a lot of factors that can be apart of this puzzle. While there are so many problems to the big issue, there are also some solutions they help you figure it out. Below are just a few suggestions that may help solve the problem of the Nexus 6 always rebooting itself and any other minor issue.
1) TOO MANY APPS!
Yes, I myself am a app lover and hoarder of them as well. One problem could be that you have a lot apps on board on the device. Is it possible that you are probably using all of the apps that are installed and downloaded to the device? Yes, you might be using all of them, but are you using all the apps on the daily basis? You can check which apps that suck up the most RAM and internal storage by going to your settings and selecting Apps tab.
.
Sometimes we may miss a app running in the background. In Android 5.0, the most recent tabs area sometimes doesn't all the time remove your most recent apps from the section. So, just take a double look and remove apps. Sometimes even a random app will appear in the recent tabs that you haven't even recently used! Thats Android! Just swype it to the left or right and then its gone.
This is a problem too. Even though you all may not see it like this, but you'll see the difference once the apps are disabled or deleted. So, the apps that you do not use (3rd-party apps) you might want to uninstall the apps that aren't not being used at all and it will also give you more storage space back on your device as well. Since the Nexus 6 has no micro SD card slot and you can not remove the back cover.
2) SAFE MODE!
Another solution might be is to place your device into Safe Mode. When you use Safe Mode on your device, this may identify the apps that causing the device to trigger off glitches and freezes and force stops.
3) CLEAR DATA AND CACHE
Collecting a lot of data on your phone will cause your device to act weird and not work properly. You don't need all that data from your apps to be stored onto your device. So clear all data and cache.
Warning! Some apps may ask you to relogin again. So remember usernames and passwords.
4) FACTORY RESET
Hopefully you dont have to come down to this point. But if you have done all the other options mentioned above and your device is still rebooting on its own and not responding right away, then you are probably going to have to factory reset your device. Now, before you go ahead
and do so, make sure to backup any important data and information that you want to keep on file in your Google Account.
Hope these solutions were very helpful and useful to those of you with the Nexus 6. This may also help you as well with any Android smartphone and/or tablet. If you have any other suggestions, please leave them in the comments below and I will surely add them to the list as well.
Hello everybody, its me again with another incredible article! Now, I know just a little over a month ago I still rolling with the LG G Flex (gen 1). I'm sure you all remembered bashing every other phone out there including the Galaxies and the Notes when it came to the G Flex. Well, its time came and went. Besides, the G Flex was aging and I would've had to get another smartphone anyways. But, enough about what to that old phone I had. Lets talk about the one I been with for the last month!
NEXUS 6
The Nexus 6 is by Google and Motorola. Two of the most innovative tech companies and phone manufactures that are out. Now, you would think by having these two giants come together they are a beast! I mean sure, not all will like the 6 inch display or that it has 2K resolution. But, it is definitely a true phablet in my eyes. No need for a 7inch tablet. So, hey no tablet needed then. No removable battery, but I have been using the Moto Turbo charger. It works great. It gives me 6 hours of battery life extra when i need it. The 3GB of RAM and 32GB of ROM is more than enough for me to use this device. No, it doesn't have SD card slot to insert. No problem for me, I use my cloud accounts such as OneDrive, Google Drive and Dropbox. They are all secured and I can access them anytime, anywhere. So thats where all of my videos I record and photos are placed. In the clouds. The gaming and video picture quality are just great. I really don't see me upgrading to anything else. I have stock android and that it is a Nexus 6, so since it is a Google product, it would be one of the few to receive a Android OS update first. So, no worries in that department. Now, about the Android updates. As when I first purchase the Nexus 6, I really didnt get to play with Android 5.0. But, I do know it wasn't the best and yes it was very buggy and laggy and even slow at times. So glad I didn't live through that. Now with 5.0.1 update right out the box as soon as I had everything setup. Android 5.0.1 was just to pretty much fixed what 5.0 couldn't do. Andorid 5.0.1 wasn't bad at all from my experience with the nexus device. I mean sure, there were times a app didnt open and there were times a app crashed. Sometimes the Google Play Services error would appear on screen. Didn't say that the phone or OS was perfect. No, it will never be perfect. If that would make the case, then even iOS users would switch real quick! But that is not the case at all. For the most part, it can do what it is set out to do. A little over a week ago, I have received one of the biggest updates of the year for Android and the Nexus 6, Android 5.1. Now Android 5.1 adds more options for alarm toggling in the quick settings for priority settings and Wifi and bluetooth options as well. Now you dont have to go through the manual settings just to switch Wifi connections or bluetooh. You switch right from your quick settings mode. You also get animation with portrait and auto-rotate mode. There were also some more bug fixes and minor improvements as well. But a couple of days ago, my phone did stop responding due to the UI not responding. But I let it play it out and then the phone back to work. I dont know if that had to do anything with the update or a particular app. So I downloaded the Device Assist app from Google for the Nexus, GPE (google play edition), and the android one devices. According to the app, my Nexus 6 is doing good. Which I think is pretty odd, if the UI had stopped responded. No worries now, because it is working just find.
MY THOUGHTS
After one month of owning the Nexus 6 aka Moto X Nexus, I find this phone to be the BEST out behind the S6 and M9, because fanboys of the galaxies will get their voices heard first. But, its about what I like now and how I feel. The Nexus 6 has stock android. You really can't go wrong with stock and it also has Google Now Launcher included on board with the phone. It has all of your favorite Google apps and no BLOATWARE. So plenty of memory with my 32GB model. It had 25GB available storage and I still have 23GB of storage left. Plus my cloud storage. 2K display is very nice. Not as great as the Note 4's due to Super AMOLED VS AMOLED. You'll have to see the difference in person. The camera I forgot to mention is better than what I heard. With my experiences and photoshots, the picture quality came out great and the 4K video is decent. It isn't the best. I'll give it that. The battery life is average and with the Moto charger, it helps out. This phone has almost been out for 6 months now on the market. I still would recommend this device. I would definitely keep the Nexus in the top 10 and even in the top 5 smartphones for 2014-2015. So, there you all have it. My take on the Nexus 6. What are your thoughts on the Motorola X Nexus? Leave the comments below.
The Nexus 6 on +T-Mobile finally gets the Android 5.1 treatment! It rolled out just last week OTA. But for some other Nexus 6 users, it will vary on when others will receive it, if they haven't already. But the new Android 5.1 allow +T-Mobile and +Verizon Wireless users to have HD Voice for calling. Also you have new animation with the potrait icon, which youll see it change from potrait to landscape mode in animations. Also, you'll be able to choose your wifi and bluetooth right from the notification menu. You'll also see chromecast and your mobile hotspot icons to select in notification status menu when sliding down from the top of homescreen. There is also some minor improvements and bug fixes as well you'll see. But, overall, it is a much better improvement from it just being Android 5.0. Just wish there was a restart option on the shut down menu. So, far what do you all think of Android 5.1? Do you see the difference in your device or no?
So with the old and in with the new. Well, sort of new. Yes, I have given up on the LG G Flex in trade of the Motorola and Google's Nexus 6. Now, you might be wondering for a guy that was so moved on what the LG G Flex had to offer at the time of owning one, makes you think why I gave up on it so soon or so late. But, the truth of the matter is that the G Flex is starting to age. Its about a year and a half since it first released back in 2013. Its been that long. But, I have always wanted to stay up with the curve in hardware and software when it comes to the Android ecosystem. What other way to do that if I can grab me a Nexus device, especially one of the latest and most recent ones. So, I did, I traded my G Flex in and I purchased the Nexus 6. Now, lets talk about the Nexus 6 for a minute. The Nexus 6 is the by far most pure and premium Android smartphone you can have right now. Yeah, you have the G3, S5, and Note 4 and now G Flex 2. But the Nexus is pure stock android and out the box with the latest OS Android lollipop 5.0. I know that the new announced S6 and M9 will also come with the Android 5.0 Lollipop as well. But that is besides the point. The Nexus 6 is a 6 inch screen with beauty! It has a 2560x1440 resolution, 13MP OIS camera, 2MP front facing, front facing speakers, Snapdragon 805, 3GB of RAM and up to 64GB of internal memory. But if you are worried about memory, you have other options to choose from such as cloud storage. Now, I know some of you all don't believe in the clouds or put your trust in them. But Microsoft's One Drive gives you 100GB of cloud storage for just using the bing search engine and Google gives you 2GB of Cloud storage for checking your Google account security. So that put together is 102GB of storage added to your device. No need for an SD card. Also, there isn't a removable battery either here on this Nexus 6. Starting to see a pattern here (iphone). The Nexus 6 battery is a 3220 Mah and included with the Nexus 6, you will get the Motorola Turbo Charger. This charger will boost your power in 15 minutes and you will get an extra 6 hours of talk time. So that is more than enough power and memory. Nexus 6 is not loaded with any bloatware. What this means is that there are no apps pre-loaded onto the device that you can not uninstall or disable. Especially apps that are from your carrier or apps that come with the Galaxy, HTC One, LGs, and Sony phones, just to name a few. This is pure Google and Android. So you will probably have a little more memory on the Nexus phones than you would with the Galaxies and the Ones. The Nexus 6 is by far one of the best phones you can buy right now. If you are wanting to stay ahead of the curve and look stylish at the same time, then the Nexus 6 phone is for you. If you feel your phone should have the most up to date software, then the Nexus 6 is for you. If you like Motorola and Google, then the Nexus 6 is for you. I just mentioned a lot of great things about the Nexus 6 and why you all should have one if you are using Android. Google and Motorola has done an awesome job with this device. I definitely recommend this phone to everyone and anyone. My last 24 hours with this device has been amazing. The display is stunning, watching my Google Paly Movies has been a blast. Listening to my music with the 2 front facing speakers and watching Youtube videos as well has been a great experience. Surfing the web, texting, and phone calls have never felt better. I am able to do things and get things done in a timely matter without slow downs or lags. The Material Designs help color coordinate much better. Notifications swype away at ease. So far life is Good with the Nexus 6. Also after the break you can check out my Nexus 6 Unboxing video on Youtube. You may subscribe now, if you haven't so already.
If you would like me to share anything else with my readers and viewers about this device, please let me know in the comments below.
Google was at MWC this week and the exec Sundar Pichai did confirm the rumors of the company planning to launch their own phone service sometime soon. But according to report claim from Wall Street Journal, this phone service might only be available right now with the latest Nexus phone the Nexus 6 which was a collaboration with Motorola Mobility which has now joined forces with the China company Lenovo. Unfortunately, Google phone service will not work with the older Nexus devices such as the Nexus 5 or 4. This service will allow users to use cellular and WiFi connections with the cell networks of Sprint and T-Mobile for service. So what do you all think of this move and rumors from Google? Are you all interested for the new service? Are you now planning to get a Nexus 6? Does it matter if T-Mobile or Sprint networks are even included? Leave all comments down below. Share your thoughts.
