We are back again for Volume 26 of the Droid Life Q&A Sessions. Last time, CES was rolling up, but now that it has come and gone with very little of significance with regard to Android, it is time to push forward onto MWC and the long list of upcoming devices from various OEMs.
The Q&A Sessions are a time when anyone from our community can ask the DL staff whatever it may be that is on your mind. This can range from Android-related topics, sports, food, or whatever else you may want to know. We are pretty open in terms of what we will share, so don’t be shy.
On Friday, we will compile a list of our favorite questions, then let the team have at them. Until then, shoot your questions below in the comments section.
To see all of our previous Q&A’s, check them out here.
Based on the recommendation of this very site (thank you!), I’ve been using icon packs for a while now. I’m currently on Nova with Dekk icons and Minima wallpaper. However, there’s one thing that has me completely stumped…
Many icon packs have variants for the most popular apps (Gmail, Maps, Facebook, etc.). If you change one or more of your icons to these variants, the next time you apply an icon pack, the ones you changed continue to use the old pack until you go back and change them manually. I’m stuck in a vicious cycle where 6 or 7 of my icons don’t change when I apply a new icon pack and I always have to update them manually. Is there any way to “reset to default” so icon pack changes apply to all apps across-the-board again? I’ve searched in the OS and Nova settings and numerous forums and can’t seem to find the answer. Thank you so much for your time!
I’d probably just clear data from Nova and start fresh.
What will Google name it’s next Nexus phone? Nexus 7? I think not.
By the time the Nexus 6 finally launches on Verizon, should I go for it? Or is it better to wait at this point?
why can’t I talk on the phone and surf the web on my Nexus 6. Also when I’m on the phone my tether hotspot does not stream any data either? I am on Verizon and it works with all my other phones?
Do you see Android Auto taking off this year and becoming a go to solution for in-car integration?
Will Google try to get Android Auto in budget friendly and cheaper automotive”s, not just luxury vehicles? Google’s Goal seems to be that everyone use their product no matter what income. Most of these technologies are pushed for luxury models of automobiles
Question for kellen- since you currently reside in [Portland, Oregon are you a ducks fan and did you root for them in the national championship?
Question for Tim- when are you gonna grace your shoe game to the masses? You have daily readers on this site that love shoes just as much as Android
“Jesus,Girls, and Marcus Mariota”
Kellen and I were both rooting for the Ducks, but it was a tough loss. Oh well. As for the shoe game, Kellen is also quite hip on the sneakers, and he’s the one that got me so into it. Maybe one day we can do a walkthrough of the DL kicks 😛
Druid life kicks!!!!
The spec is dead. Long live the spec. What is a *new* hardware feature you expect or hope to see this year?
What innovation of the future is coming our way or is next for Android?
Will this be the Year Samsung show’s off it’s Tablet folding into a phone they patented?
Any word on Nexus 6 getting the Moto apps found on the X?
What would you like to see in motorola’s 2015 Moto X and Droid phones ?
My 2013 wifi Nexus 7, bought on launch day, has OTA updated to Lollipop. We snagged a new 2013 Nexus 7 from the groupon deal, and it updated to 4.4.4, but not to Lollipop. If I wait long enough, will I eventually get an OTA update from google for Lollipop? Would rather not hassle with adb, sideloading, etc.
Seahawks or the Patriots.
Pats. GB lost that game more than Seattle won it. Pats dominated for 4 quarters against the Colts.
If you had to pick 5 of your favorite albums of any genre…. Which would it be?
Are your expectations high for HTC’s new flagship?
Since you’ll be more likely to get a response than if I just pester Moto people on G+, will the Moto X Pro be customizable with MotoMaker? Still holding out on a Nexus 6 to see if I’ll be able to get a sweet leather back for it.
Info on the Moto X Pro for the US is limited, so we don’t know quite yet.
Oh, I’m not worried about the US version. Chinese parts are easy enough to get…assuming they’ll be available there (or anywhere).
I know HTC is supposed to announce their next phone on 3/1/15. About how long after that will carriers have it? Any idea?
Top 5 T.V shows ?
Do you think Android wear is moving in a positive position or do you think it needs lots of improvement?
Will we every see another device like the Nexus 6 that has compatibility across all US carriers? And by that I mean did Google pull some strings for a one-off device or are the OEM’s just lazy.
How do they know?
They’re Android bloggers. Maybe they’ve heard something. And if not, maybe my question will spark someone’s curiosity.
Thoughts on Dame Lillard’s new shoes?
How long did it take the ‘Droid Life’ website to generate enough income to pay the bills and or quit your day job?
When are we finally going to fire Kyle?
Lord Please!!! He’s very intelligible but jeez he has the emotional range of a grumpy cat
For a flagship to win you over this year, what does that OEM need to do better over the previous model flagship and what is something they need to adopt from others? Feel free to give an answer per device
F#*K, Marry, Kill……Phone manufacturers…..then providers….GO!!
Don’t you need three options to play?
Think he means separately. F, M, K – OEMs. F, M, K – Carriers.
precisely
Sorry, thx.
I’m wanting to know: LG VOLT, if I reset to factory conditions will the stupid upgrade that is preventing me from rooting disapear as well (no pc to work with).? (Boston BB on G+)
In your opinions at this moment, what are the top 5 phone manufacturers?
I think we’d all agree that it’s Motorola, HTC, Samsung, LG, and Google.
How much would it take you to sell Droid-Life and what would you do with the money?
Easy.

Such a good flick.
Leo will go down in history as one of the greatest without an Oscar I think.
