    I Chose Apex Launcher Over TouchWiz

    Just download them from the Play Store. Personally, I recommend Nova. Just search for Nova Launcher and install it.

    Galaxy S5 metal version coming in May?

    Re: S5 metal version coming in may? I'm waiting it out, whats one month if it means a possibly superior phone being released? There's also sure to be more rumors about a metal model around April if one is actually being released.

    I've owned nearly all of the high-end smartphones, here are my thoughts. (Hint: Moto X is best)

    The Droid MAXX and Ultra are the same phone except for battery size, build quality, and storage space. The Mini is literally the Ultra just shrunk down to have a 4.3" display for those who like smaller phones (I'm also not entirely sure, but I think the Mini also has better build quality than...

    I've owned nearly all of the high-end smartphones, here are my thoughts. (Hint: Moto X is best)

    The only Droid that is maybe better than the Moto X is the Droid MAXX. The Ultra is pointless and the Mini is just the Ultra shrunk down to be even more compact, but even then, the Mini makes more sense than the Ultra.

    I've owned nearly all of the high-end smartphones, here are my thoughts. (Hint: Moto X is best)

    That's pretty much the conclusion I came to. It was just too much, and just like you, I no longer wanted another Galaxy after owning an S4 for a few months. I just gave it a shot because I had it and figured why not?

    I've owned nearly all of the high-end smartphones, here are my thoughts. (Hint: Moto X is best)

    I had a feeling mine was defective so I got it replaced... Three times lol. Had 3 different iPhone 5s's didn't restore from a backup on any of them to make sure it wasn't something bad transferring over. Also turned off tons of features, but that made no difference.

    I've owned nearly all of the high-end smartphones, here are my thoughts. (Hint: Moto X is best)

    Nope, just buy and re-sell on Swappa or Craiglist. :) Thanks man, I try to just accurately sum up what it was like using each device and which one was the best for me. In the end, these are all just my opinions and findings. The Moto X was the best device for me, but it may be different for...

    Everyone reboot your phone..new holiday boot up screen

    I think it was built in already. I read reports that the Moto G needed an update from the Play Store to show the new boot animation, but that the Moto X already had it built in. Posted via Android Central App

    Cyber Monday Buyers!

    I'm going with the black front, woven black back, red accents. After seeing the red accents at Best Buy I knew it was perfect. Posted via Android Central App

    Moto X cyber monday sale

    Anyone having issues placing an order? My cousin gave me his code to use and when I go to enter it just tells me to "please enter a valid code". He tried it on his PC and the code was valid so it should be working but I'm not having any luck. I tried doing it on another computer and in two...

    I've owned nearly all of the high-end smartphones, here are my thoughts. (Hint: Moto X is best)

    Tell that to Verizon. :/ I tried telling them that and they just said to do a factory reset (which I had done numerous times, and flashed other ROM's to confirm it was a hardware defect) and refused to give me a refund unless I paid the restocking fee. Absolutely ridiculous, but whatever...

    I've owned nearly all of the high-end smartphones, here are my thoughts. (Hint: Moto X is best)

    I'm on Verizon. Just a benhmadison said, I rarely ever buy them full price from the carriers, and when I do it's only because they're on sale. Believe it or not, I've actually made money throughout testing all of these devices. I usually will buy and resell and make a slight profit, but I do...

    I've owned nearly all of the high-end smartphones, here are my thoughts. (Hint: Moto X is best)

    Needless to say, I have not been satisfied with any other smartphone as much as I have been with the Moto X. In chronological order in the past three months up to today, I've owned the iPhone 5s, LG G2, Moto X, Note 3, another LG G2, and I'm coming back to the Moto X. I've listed my reasons...

    LG G2 or Moto X... Which to buy?

    I personally love the size of the G2 and if I get it I'd be putting a KitKat or Jellybean ROM on it ASAP, so stock Android isn't a problem. I've owned both phones before and loved both, but the G2 left a sour taste in my mouth mainly because of GPS issues that rendered it nearly unusable for...

    LG G2 or Moto X... Which to buy?

    I am able to get a white LG G2 for the same price off-contract as the Moto X on Cyber Monday. At this price, which would you say is a better buy? I'm really stuck on this decision. Any input would be great.

    Verizon G2 for $350 off-contract until midnight (LOOPHOLE)

    Just posting this in case some people don't know about it. It's possible to get the white Verizon G2 for $350 tonight (same price as Moto X and Nexus 5) until midnight tonight by taking advantage of a loophole (it's not really a loophole, more of a little trick that most people don't know...

    Any iPhone 5/5S Converts?

    Try Textra. It supports group messaging with iPhone's and is also able to receive and send emojis to/from iPhone users (you need to download the Textra emoji plugin for this). To enable group messaging with iPhone's you simply just enable it in the Textra settings. Try that and see how it works.

    QUESTION : Nexus 5 or Moto X?

    A Verizon Moto X was $450 for a few days (maybe a week? I didn't pay attention to it), but now it's back up to $499. I don't think you can use the Verizon model on any other carriers, but I also haven't looked into it at all so I'm not the right person to be answering that question. It's back...

    High Android OS use after KitKat update?

    No idea what was causing it, but I just read a post over at Android Police saying that clearing data and force stopping Google Services Framework can have some unwanted effects, and I did both of that yesterday. I'm guessing it caused a problem with sync and other google services, causing...

    High Android OS use after KitKat update?

    It was the same way yesterday. I got the update at noontime yesterday and when I checked my battery stats at midnight, Android OS was around 60%. I just did a factory reset to see if that fixes it. Hopefully it was just a Google Sync or services issue that won't happen again.
