Spaces!

http://mashable.com/2016/05/16/google-spaces-app/

Not quite messaging and not quite a social network, Spaces is a "destination for when you want to share, and talk about what you're sharing," the app's Product Director Luke Wroblewski, told Mashable.

Users create "spaces," chat room-like message threads, and invite others to join with a link that can be opened in the app or on the web. Conversations within Spaces are centered around chunks of content like web links, YouTube videos and photos.

Who's setting up the first Android-Gaf space?

Anyone with a bluetooth alarm clock do you know how to get the alarm to play through only the clock and not both the phone AND clock? Freaking Google I don't know why they did that.

Did they announce anything in Android Auto?

I can't understand why can't they put Auto mode next to airplane mode, let it run once it detects the car's bluetooth (and add an option, if connected, or something), and just add a new toolbar at the top and the Android Auto bar at the bottom, let you choose your music and map programs and call it a day.

Also, let it act like Google Fit, and let the car manufacturers share the data they want with it, track fuel consumption and stuff like that.

There are apps that do this (AutoMate is the best), but it would be cleaner if it was just an option, and would work much better. You can still have your expensive screen on your new car.

So who's ready for the next Google messaging app that will be baked into Translate and will probably be some teaching service?!

I believe they announce Android Auto will be available as an app for those people that obviously not upgrading their cars any time soon.

If you don't have an Android Auto-compatible head unit in your car, you'll be able to get a similar experience on your phone. It'll have the same features as Android Auto in the car, Google says, including voice-enabled calling, media playback, messaging and navigation. (Those are, of course, all things you can do on a phone currently. But now they'll have an Android Auto-friendly user interface.)

Gone through two Nexus 5xs, still trying to get a non yellowed screen :/

The second one was better but still not where it's supposed to be. What poor quality control.

Does Amazon offer a new phone upgrade plan, like the carriers? (The thing where you pay monthly towards the price of your device, but get a new phone once a year)
