    Moto X (1st gen): XT1053 GSM Unlocked (T-Mobile) 5.1 Lollipop Update

    I have the XT1053 - unlocked version, and I use it on AT&T. It is 10.10 pm EST. I just read the news that 5.1 is being rolled out. I switched on wifi, went into System Updates and a few seconds later saw this message! The message says 200-400 MB of free space. That's not true. I had 750 MB...

    Convert handwriting afterwards

    I'd like to bump this thread up as well. Recently acquired this gizmo. Is there an app that allows writing using the S-pen, and then exporting into a word document? So far I've figured Google Docs lets me do this if I use the Samsung keyboard's handwriting box, and that isn't bad. Curious if...

    Can I sim-unlock an AT&T-locked Note 8?

    Got it, thanks very much! Would you know if getting the unlock code from these non-AT&T sources and unlocking the device before the contract is up poses any hazard that I should be aware on in advance?

    Can I sim-unlock an AT&T-locked Note 8?

    The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tablet (i467) that I just bought is apparently locked to AT&T. And it turns out that the previous owner (whom I have no way of contacting) has this device still registered to his/her account, and the device is under contract with AT&T. AT&T refuses to give me the...

    How do I determine if my phone is SIM-locked to AT&T?

    Hi, I recently bought a Moto X (love it!) off eBay. The seller isn't responding to my question so I thought there must be some way of knowing this by poking around the 'About Phone' details, but no luck. Simple question: how do I tell if my phone is SIM-locked to AT&T? I don't have another...

    Create a wifi hotspot using Moto X on AT&T?

    @JoeNM84 I checked with AT&T after your message and you're absolutely right - the MobileShare plans have tethering/mobile hotspot capability built into them. Which is fantastic. @PiggyMiddle and @zedorda Yes it is eminently possible that data rates on Verizon were spoilt because I (or for that...

    Create a wifi hotspot using Moto X on AT&T?

    Hi, I'm moving from a GNex on Verizon to a Moto X on AT&T. I've used SVTP to create a wifi hotspot from my phone, without any hassles from Verizon. Does the Moto X on AT&T offer this same functionality? Which app works best? Since I'll be a new AT&T customer, I'll be signing up for one of their...

    Google Maps offline and GPS internationally?

    I am traveling to Europe and I will not have a local smartphone there with data. I will have only a basic phone without data, and my Verizon Galaxy Nexus from here in the US. I understand that the Verizon Galaxy Nexus does not have GSM, and I do not wish to roam on Verizon's international...

    Foxfi on 4.2.2

    I use SVTP. I got 4.2.2. last night and am on a SVTP-created hotspot right now. It works fine, just the way it always did.

    Verizon Galaxy Nexus: Any way to force 4.2.2 update?

    Re: Anyway to force 4.2.2 update? Tried this force method a few times on Tuesday but didn't work. Tried it again at home last night and it worked!

    Taking my GNex to Europe

    --> It should connect to Verizon's international partners and get you both data and voice. It will of course cost a tidy packet. You'll get text messages telling you about the network, a helpline number as well as cost for incoming, outgoing calls and data usage per KB as soon as the phone...

    LTE / Mobile Data version?

    Any word on when the Verizon or AT&T LTE version is releasing here in the US?

    Note taking/stylus?

    Without the ability to distinguish between the palm and the pen, note-taking with a stylus, especially a 10-inch tab, can be extremely difficult. Issues will range from the stylus not being recognized to accidentally pressing menu buttons and things. It can be a real pain, slowing the actual...
