    Let's talk about this screen

    I haven't seen much discussion on the screen in forums, but I've seen reviews (specifically AC and DL) that comment that it's excellent and competes pretty against a Samsung display. For me, however, that is not the case. I have put my new pixel (small) up against a 5x, a note 5, and a gs7...

    I'm really confused about this camera...

    Just got the Pixel, and after initial set up I wanted to test the camera out. Now I know these aren't ideal settings, but I thought this camera was supposed to be really good. The quality in my photos is ATROCIOUS. Like, my OG Moto X is almost certainly better than this. I would test it if I...

    Aluminum accent color wearing off already

    Has anyone else with a colored accent noticed any wear on the back where they place their finger? I just noticed the flat area around the dimple is almost completely work away on one side (I have blue). This thing is barely 2 months old, so I'm very unhappy! Now I feel like I can't rest my...

    Possible defective radio?

    Now I know moto is known for having excellent radios, but ever since I received my MXPE, my cell standby has always been about tied with my screen battery drain. I always attributed it to being a lollipop bug and kind of ignored it because my battery life wasn't terrible. But lately I noticed...

    On contract pricing?

    I was wondering if anyone has come across any on contract pricing for the Turbo 2. I have a friend who is stuck on an old contract family plan and they don't plan on switching because they all have iPhones and plan on continuing to buy them. I know Verizon is trying to push everyone off...

    Not seeing my Bluetooth devices on my Moto X Pure Edition

    Alright, guys. I have one day left before I can return this phone and I just discovered that it does not even see my bit30 nes controller or my sharkk Bluetooth speaker. I have used these devices countless times on my OG X and my nexus 10 (both on 5.1.1) without issue. I have a nexus player and...

    SwiftKey adding extra characters when typing

    This is getting pretty annoying. Whenever I type in most text boxes, SwiftKey starts entering random characters and the cursor jumps all over the place. Even this post is incredibly hard to type because it's so erratic. This started happening in my old phone and my tablet and now my new...

    What's your screen bightness level?

    I'm asking this because I've noticed with my new XP that the brightness level between 0-40% ramps up so heavily that it encompasses pretty much the entire brightness range of the device i.e from 40-100% there is barely any difference in brightness. The phone is plenty dim at 0% and plenty...

    Anyone on Verizon still holding out for Droid Mini?

    If you guys remember the leaked image of the new lineup that had 4 phones, the left one was claimed to be the droid mini and still hasn't been announced. It seems the rest were the G, play, and style, from left to right. Knowing this and looking at this sizes again, it seems as if the droid mini...

    How can I prevent the Galaxy S5 from updating via OTA?

    My girlfriend bought a GS5 on VZW a few months ago and has enjoyed it a lot thus far. However, she just told me that she got a notification forcing her to choose a time to upgrade her device to lollipop, so at 5PM today her phone is expected to update itself. After hearing the woes of lollipop...

    How can I prevent the Galaxy S5 from updating via OTA?

    My girlfriend got the gs5 on VZW a few months ago, and has enjoyed it a lot. When I heard about the nightmares of lollipop (especially on VZW) I told her to avoid the update. Now, she's telling me that she was just forced to pick a time today for her to update, and at 5 pm tonight it will do it...

    Active display not working with hangouts

    This has been an on again off again issue for me. Last time it was the update to active display that goofed it, so I tried to uninstall updates from active display to no avail. Anyone else share this problem or have an idea for a fix?

    Active display not working for Sms

    It seems that since the 4.4.2 update I have stopped receiving active display notifications for all sms. The phone displays the active display time upon receiving the sms and I get the notification in the notification bar, but that it. I've verified that this issue exists for multiple sms apps...

    Modality service battery drain?

    I cannot find any results for this issue online, so this one has me baffled. Lately I have been seeing "Modality Service" as the top battery drain. Restarts do not stop it, but it does seem to stop on its own sometimes. It seems to be gps related, but I have gps and location access off. I have...

    Speaker volume dropping...

    This is my second Moto X. The first one had a very loose power button and "crunchy" vibration. This second device seemed perfect to me until today when I noticed a glaring issue. The speaker will *always* drop from being very loud to being quiet after a second or two of playback. This...

    Come on Google...

    This darn media server battery drain is driving me crazy. My Gnex had it, my Nexus 10 has it, now the moto x. I barely even touched my phone yesterday (besides a 40 min call) and I barely have any downloaded apps on it because I just got it a few days ago. Battery life was good until yesterday...

    Wobbly Power Button - Am I Being Ridiculous?

    I got the Moto X 2 days ago (wow this phone is amazing) and noticed yesterday that the power button does not feel snug and secure like the volume rocker is. I was thinking of trying to swap out the phone because of this, but is that even possible for something so minor? I'm mostly concerned...

    **Emergency** Sticky situation

    I downloaded Purity Rom to try it out, backed everything up normally, booted into recovery, wiped the big 3, then flashed the rom. Upon booting up I received numerous force closes immediately, and couldn't even get to setting up the phone. I then rebooted back into recovery to revert back to...

    Changing Boot Animations

    I've recently tried to change my boot animation but it seems the phone is not letting me. After doing some research, I tried placing a bootanimation.zip in system/media, then discovered that samsung uses some proprietary .qmg files (namely bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg) for their...
