Android Guys recently reviewed a car auxiliary input Bluetooth adapter with Google Now integration. After reading the review, I ordered the iClever Himbox HB-01 Bluetooth adapter from Amazon, and I have been happy with it. I've been using it in our HHR with the unit mounted at the center of the dash between the air vents and the mic is picking up my voice without my having to shout. Audio streaming is very solid with no interference. A really nice touch is that the power cable has a standard USB connection, which connects to the car adapter but can also connect to a regular USB power adapter for use in house. I got it on sale for 60% off, but I think the regular $30 price is pretty affordable.#

Most of the technology press sites got Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P units last Friday and many published either full reviews or "here is what they are like after three days" reviews, which one can take with a grain of salt given how short of time they have had the devices. With one exception, though. Ron Amadeo's review on Ars Technica is content rich making me think he pretty much worked on it not stop from the moment he received the review units. By the way, if you haven't read Ron's review of Android 6.0, do yourself a favor and read it. #

All of the reviews of Android 6.0, Marshmallow, that I have read are pretty consistent about Google Now on Tap. Just as I wrote about the other day, Now On Tap is pretty hit-and-miss. I am really liking Doze, which is doing a good job extending battery life on my Nexus 9. I've been in the habit of recharging the Nexus 9 every night, but now I can leave it sit overnight and not worry about excessive battery drain. #

Doze will make a big difference for tablets, but I am wondering about how much it will help phones that are constantly on the move. It appears Doze uses the motion sensors to determine if the device is not moving, and if not, shuts down background apps, but I wonder if it can be that smart about a phone in my pocket. Android needs an "in the pocket" sensor or a "screen is covered up" sensor that tells Doze to kick on. #

All these Nexus 6p reviews have me eagerly waiting on the shipment of the 6P that I ordered. My guess is they will start shipping next week given that the 5X started shipping yesterday. #

The Verge: "Up at the top of the app drawer are four app suggestions that are often spot-on." Are those suggestions or the last used apps, because I am pretty sure they are the last used apps. #
