  1. First issue with Lollipop on Nexus 5. When you open a link in Chrome it doesnt show as a tab that means you can go back to the previous site (the little number isnt there) unless you go into settings and turn the "Merge tabs and apps" off. Why would I want it on?
  2. Just got the update on my Nexus 5. Just appeared as always
  3. The Walking Dead has gone a bit of the boil but tonights episode might well improve it. Homeland had gone a bit predictable but then the last 10 minutes of last night was a bit WTF........in a good way.
  4. Both my kids love it and have now watched twice in the last 3-4 days, I found it all a little bit meh.
  5. Has anyone managed to get the phone to discover that there is an update ready, no matter how many times I get it to check it finds nothing and then at some point I will go to use the phone and it will suddenly announce there is an update ready.
  6. I guess there are 2 reasons I went down the Nexus road, firstly is its stock android and secondly is the speed of updates to the latest version. Stock android can be improved as can be seen by The Moto X additions and the camera isnt always what it should be when compared to other flagship devices. The speed of updates looks like it has improved massively with LG and Motorola being right on the case and get them out to users almost as quick if not quicker than Nexus handsets which begs the question of why would I want to buy a Nexus phone? Google have positioned it in the market up against the other big players and so will have to compete on more than just price. It will be very interesting to see how sales of the this Nexus go because of both price and size and how that might affect Googles thinking on the Nexus program in future.
  7. I expected progress from an awful season last year. We're averaging the same points per game and scoring less. Its not what I expected. He means results-wise though.Of the 5 teams outside last years' top 6 we have faced, we have lost only one of them and picked up 8 points. For where we finished, and how we did in similar situations last season, I'd say that's an improvement. I think the big problem this year though is that the "top 6" teams that we expected to get beat against has turned into the top 8 or 9? I mean, Southampton and Swansea are now teams added to that list who will beat us. The teams who are struggling in last seasons top 6, Arsenal, Spurs, Everton have all beat us too. When you setup to not lose 16-18 games in a 38 game season, but end up losing them anyway it puts a huge amount of pressure on the other games. I wish we were a bit more adventurous against the better teams, so what we might get beat badly? Who cares? If you don't have a go you dont win games. We should take the view of playing better teams as a free hit, if we lose it's expected, but at least try and win the game. Lambert this season more than any other has set us up similar to McLeish, we play to try and not lose rather than to win. It's not acceptable in my view. So under the mismanagement by both Lerner and Lambert we are now cannon fodder for the likes of Swansea and Southampton. Lerner should take the lions share of the blame but Lambert has bought badly (how many left backs in 3 years) and cannot get the best out of the players at his disposal. We will not score 20 goals this season if he remains in charge and that will surely mean relegation.
  8. I picked up the Nexus 9 this afternoon and it is currently doing the update. For anyone on O2 if you use the Priority Moments Android App you can save yourself £30.00 of the price
  9. OK Gents I am a bit of a crossroads as I have been waiting for the Nexus 9 to land but now its out the reviews on the whole are dissapointing so I am tempted to come back to Apple and grab an ipad mini 2 and possibly a 6 plus. Am I making a mistake?
  10. So 64gb is £150 cheaper than Iphone 6+
  11. off topic, that's what it is keeping this "on topic" then. I am going to remove the Android App for Google Inbox from both my Nexus 5 & 7 as it changes all the Categories from the standard and I think makes it much harder to keep track of your email. As an App they look very nice and the way they handle your email may well suit some people. - just doesnt work well for me.
  12. Well I thought it would but cannot see anywhere we it gets mentioned. If it appears I will ping one over.
  13. I had an invite for the new Google Inbox so have it on my Nexus 5. Not totally sold on it so far.
  14. Well PC World / Currys are now selling the Nexus 9 so will call in tomorrow and have a look if they have on on display. The reviews so far have been mixed at best. For half that price they are selling a Lenovo Tab S8 which has a 64bit Processor which is tempting as a short term replacement for my Nexus 7.
  15. How can someone of his experience sit and watch our matches, see the lack of movement and variety from our throw ins and do bugger all about it?
  16. Players generally haven't improved under him, he is never proactive with substitutions, never tries to win a game but makes changes to try and save games when we a losing. Sadly doesn't look like he knows how to change our fortunes on the pitch so for me he has to go.
  17. Not a fan of that circuit at all.
  18. Still not any mention of PC World or Carphone Warehouse selling the 6 or the 9 or any kind of timeframes. Google really have cocked this up big time for the UK users.
  19. Nor proactive enough by a long way. We were winning at 84 minutes and did nothing to protect that position.
  20. How many of those 7 teams did we give a real go at?
  21. Your wishing!! He will be gone if we lose the next 2, if not it'll be a absolute crime to us fans! When has Lerner paid any attention to the fans.....the whole McLeish debarcle showed that. People are assuming that it was Lerner that gave Lambert the contract extension and Fox will step in and remove him but what if it was Fox who sorted out the deal? Is he really going to say to Lerner that wa a big mistake and we need to sack him 6, 7 or 8 games later. Let there be no doubt I want him out and should never ever appoint another Scottish manager again.
  22. I would love to turn the radio on and hear he is gone but since he only signed a new four year deal 6 weeks ago I cannot see him going even if he loses the next 2, 3, 4 or 5. He will be here at Christmas, New Year and sadly on the day we get relegated. He ain't going anywhere.
  23. Our club reminds me a bit of Sheffield Wednesday, did well fairly big crowds. Owner who hadnt a clue, a succession of crap managers, crowds dropped, relegation, crowds dropped further, more relegation and never recovered.
  24. The issue is you want to be able to tie all these things together and at the moment I am not sure its there for the enthusiast. Google are hovering up companies to have tech that will work with Nest and Apple have their version which I am sure tech companies will get behind. I wanted to have my central heating, lights and alarm system to work without manual interaction. Is switch heating off and set alarm when no one in, switch on lights at sunset etc. Finding an alarm that I can add to what I already have has been fruitless so far and other things like automatic door locks appear to be US only at the moment. I do think that this area is about to get very big in the next 18 months so options will be available.
  25. I had seen this mentioned on AC a couple of weeks ago so had looked and got Shaun the Sheep now I must have done this on my N7 because I have just checked again on my N5 and got offered Gravity too, so maybe worth checking on all your devices to see if you get offered it.
