Re: Moto Care and terrible service experience So sorry about your continuing torture by Moto's customer service (sic). Have you taken this to the Motorola Users forum? I've seen better responses going through them rather than the normal channels. I would also consider expressing your...

I got the white/bamboo model via the Amazon sale. It's actually what I got via Motomaker for my original 2013 X, so I'm already biased toward the white front, even though the sensors are visible that way. As for the back, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Pure's bamboo has a nice...

My daily driver is a rooted Developer Edition, with 5.1 but all sorts of Xposed modules loaded in it. Still works great and the battery is still giving me a day's worth of usage since I'm generally a light user. Also have a stock version in Bamboo, which I may give to a family member who still...

Re: Goodbye Moto X, I will miss you....Should I get Droid Turbo 2? Cindy B1: I'm on VZ too, and while I'm leaning toward a Pure to succeed my MotoX2013, you've stated your needs and how your choices satisfy them. The VZW bloatware can be disabled though not removed, but then you can ignore...

Your Google account settings may have allowed your contacts to be backed up on the cloud, as was suggested before. In any case, see if the Moto Migrate app on the Play store will install to your tablet. Update it on your phone as well. When you fire it up on both machines, you set up the case...

I'm not knowledgeable enough about Samsung tablets, but could the Migrate app work in this instance?

I'm probably looking at a Moto X Pure, 32 gB, when the time comes. I have two Moto X 2013 models, the one I'm currently using is a Developer Edition that's bootloader unlocked, rooted and fitted with Xposed/Gravity Box and other goodies under 5.1. So I'm not in a big hurry to update. I'm a...

I've noticed it happening the last couple of days, but only in the morning when it's supposed to reconnect but doesn't (I use Battery Widget Reborn, which I've programmed to a Night Mode that shuts off wifi, sync etc. and is supposed to reconnect at a certain time). The fixes I've used are to...

I have installed it on the two Moto X1 phones I own (Motomaker stock, and VZW Developer Edition, bootloader unlocked and rooted). Both run well, with almost no issues that I can see with the apps and functions that I normally use. Battery life may be a bit shorter, but neither phone is new and...

Same here, though my VZW Motomaker X1 isn't as old, it's still working tremendously well and I can still squeeze more than a day's use out of a battery charge (with moderate use). I also have a Developer Edition that I had rooted and now have put back into a state ready for an OTA update...

Re: Moto X (1st gen): Lollipop News I have two VZW Moto Xs, one's a Motomaker and the other's a Developer Edition. The latter is rooted, and on KK already has better battery life than the stock one (though the stock isn't bad, considering it's more than a year old too). When the update rolls...

The model that's the same generation as the 2013 Moto X is the S4, is it not? And so far I've not read any reports of the S4s getting Lollipop.

Quoted from the Motorola Moto X users' forum: "You can uninstall the update and then follow the instructions below to get back to the last version before the newest that seems to have an issue. You can find it here. Google Search 3.6.16.1614640.arm APK Download - APKMirror Make sure you only...

Depending on how old your phone is, and how you've used it (e.g. have you run it down to very few % battery on a regular basis?) it could simply be that the battery has become degraded as well. It's inevitable after enough charging cycles for lithium batteries.

I too would have "liked" to have had an SD card capability, as well as a user-accessible battery. That said, from an engineering oriented viewpoint I'm not so sure how compatible those attributes would be with the X, given the Motomaker customizability, as well as the overall design, to include...
