welcome back to Android QA my name is Jace and this is where we try and answer your most pressing and drug questions like why is it that the Google Experience launcher is exclusive to Nexus and Google Play edition devices and why is it that I can't talk and surf on my phone at the same time and Jace did you know that roda means beard in Polish pack vm such a name it all right let's start off with some Google Experience launcher envy hey Jace quick question buddy do you have any idea why the Google now experienced launcher is exclusive to the Nexus and Google Play edition phones also will it be released two more Android devices yes that is a good question Brian and we don't really know for sure I asked other android authority staff what they thought about it and most of them feel that this is really about google marking its territory which could be true I would also add to that that Google can't force manufacturers to use stock Android but Google can make Android so compelling and so appealing that they force Android users to demand for their manufacturers that they bring us at least somewhat closer to using vanilla Android but Brian if you're willing to wield some geekery magic you don't have to wait you can follow the links below for instructions on how to sideload the Google Experience launcher yourself Marlin Cruickshank had a question regarding using voice and data at the same time Jase why can't you talk on the phone and browse the internet at the same time while using the nexus 5 thanks for the question Marlin it's a good one I know many other people have suffered from the issue if you remember a number of years ago when 18t first acquired the iphone 18 to put out a commercial with a bumbling idiot husband who forgot his wife's anniversary oh my god too cliche and the fact that the ATT phone could do voice and data at same time allowed him to book a wedding anniversary event without his wife knowing that he forgot it but it is generally considered to be a cdma issue right so with carriers like Verizon and Sprint it's especially an issue but though not all I found some forums where users on verizon said that they didn't have this issue it's also considered to be a tri-band issue which concerns me because the Nexus 5 is dual band so you should check with you Karen see if there's a way that you can sort that out if not you might want to consider changing carriers when your contract is ended good luck Marley next question helps out all you travel bugs who want to take advantage of Google's location services hey Jase how do I tell Google that I'm now living in a different country well Samuel it will only take a minute follow these instructions you should be fine go to the Google homepage on the bottom right hand side select settings in that pop up click on search settings then select location where you can fill in your location and benefit from Google's location services like Google now now Neil brought us a new battery question that I haven't read before hey Jace does using a 2 amp or higher charger have a negative impact on your phone's battery my Nexus 5 gets quite warm when plugged into a samsung galaxy tablet charger so Neil first warning if your phone is getting warm from using a different charger don't use that charger use the proprietary charger if you can and you avoid warranty issues you don't want to do that now you should know that each phone has a chip that controls how much power it can draw so in theory if you're using a 2 amp charger the phone can only draw 1 amp or whatever specifications that particular phone has so generally speaking not a good idea thanks for watching a droid army my name is Jace I'd love to connect with you here on Google+ or Twitter I read all my comments at replies and tags but the question of the week to win the android authority t-shirt is the following android wear was announced just earlier this week what will google or Samsung or any of the manufacturers have to do to create a usable experience or a user experience with wearable technology that will win are we going to go all Michael Knight and control our phones through voice notifications how is it going to be clearly Google class Google glass was too creepy and too geeky to be successful at scale what will they have to do to create wearable technology that is successful at scale love to hear your comments or questions put them in the comments below the best question or comment will win the t-shirt I'll ship it anywhere in the world talk to you soon guys don't forget about my brother's an Android Josh Joe in the tech ninja Kevin I shall see you next week android QA and sunday for android weekly
