Mine is the Verizon version, running on T-Mobile. I got the 5.1 update some time ago now (much to my surprise.) Forgive me for being cynical, but that's the first time in five years of using smartphones that I've ever received an OTA update. Sent from my XT1528

Yes, it is. The internal storage is recognized as sdcard0, the actual card is recognized as sdcard1. Sent from my XT1528

Sun light gives you cancer. I smoke a pack a day. I'm not really concerned about safety, but I am curious. What unit of measurement is this, and how was it tested? Sent from my XT1528 using Tapatalk

It will default to the internal memory, listed as SD card. Your actual SD card will be listed as "sdcard1." My Amazon music app hasn't gotten bigger than maybe 200 mb, you should check the settings because it sounds like instead of just streaming the music you're downloading it. Sent from my...

Go under settings-storage, you will see a button that will transfer your music, movies, and pictures to the SD card. Also while you're in there, click where it says cache. That will let you clear that out in one click. Sent from my XT1528 using Tapatalk

You are certainly more likely to see an update, then, and I congratulate you on your good fortune! ;)

Motorola might, but I doubt the carriers will. Most Moto E's still haven't got the 5.1 update.

Hey, sushi! I remember helping you out with your old Optimus V! I have the Moto E, and I can tell you it's nice. It certainly isn't a flagship, but it feels solid in the hand (though just a touch heavy) and the screen looks great. Also, Walmart has the Verizon Moto E on sale for $69, and it's...

XT1528, Verizon model running on T-Mobile in Michigan, still 5.0.2

Yes, and no. Rukbat is correct, to a point. LTE is an extended of GSM technology, so regardless if your carrier is GSM or CDMA if you have LTE then you can switch your phone by swapping out your Sim card. BTW, cool user name Rukbat. I read a lot of Anne McCaffrey too. :)

My weekend project with my father in-law.

I believe I can shed some light on the subject. Your M8 (like my F3) mounts it's internal memory much like an SD card (one partition of it, anyway.) Flash memory can fail, albeit not frequently. The internal memory of your phone suffered from a failure, causing the system to be unable to boot...

It depends on what carrier you're using. There are four roms for Sprint/VM, and I'm actually working on one for T-Mobile/MetroPCS.
