    Droid Turbo: Lollipop software update?

    Heh, customers in my industry (oil and gas and agriculture) would laugh at such transparency, or lack thereof. Where is the machine, what is the status of its build and we need imaging of that, and documents, today. Nothing is as nebulous as the young bucks working in the software industry where...

    Droid Turbo: Lollipop software update?

    Viewing the Verizon web site, with the 64GB version being unavailable and marketing relatively muted compared to the other models being offered, my instinct is that my 2 year contract will expire on the current software iteration. I can understand how some may have more interest in the latest...

    MIME offers Tempered Glass

    Yes the bottom two corners of the Defender case to contact the glass but I don't notice any adverse effects. Now in use around a week and I've pretty much forgotten that the glass is even on the screen. Posted via the Android Central App

    Droid Turbo: Ballistic Nylon Crunching Sound?

    I've been following this thread and hadn't had any issues but I do have the phone in an Otterbox Defender case and figured that might be part of the reason so, when I was installing a new MIME glass shield on the phone, I gave it a hot charge in the case, then removed the case to install the...

    MIME offers Tempered Glass

    To be honest I can't tell the glass shield is even on the phone. I'm looking at it under light right now and I can see the edges of it but that's it.

    MIME offers Tempered Glass

    Affirmative. Just got back from the painting job and the main plus I noticed was no sweat buildup inhibiting function like with the old Defender plastic cover. So far, satisfied. However, I'm a blue collar phone guy so not nearly as discriminating as some on these forums. I would hold out for a...

    MIME offers Tempered Glass

    Quick update: Protector arrived today and I installed. I'll use a bit today and it'll get tested since I'm on a painting job and I'll get back with impressions. First impression is it went on easy and was easy to get evenly adhered. The unit is just slightly smaller than the screen and has only...

    MIME offers Tempered Glass

    I have the Otterbox Defender on my Turbo and moisture under the OEM plastic protector has been an occasional problem impeding fuctionality of the capacitive buttons as well as screen sensitivity to finger movements. It's not a phone problem, rather an environmental problem, but one I have to...

    Yes!!! I love the Droid Turbo Battery Life

    I've been off in the real world and not posting much but did check the GSam battery app and noted that average battery life between full charges is 3 days, 2.2 hours and the average screen on time has been 3 hours, 26 minutes, with a max of 5 hours, 28 minutes. I generally throw the phone on...

    Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo data usage.

    Re: data usage. I'm convinced the issue is in the update which was pushed to the phones after they were rolled out. I'll leave it to brighter minds to determine who's responsible for such updates and errors. In the meantime, I simply shut off mobile data when I don't need it when on wifi. Takes...

    possible antenna gate?

    Yep, familiar with radio signals since I work with electronics in my business. Deterioration appeared to be on the order of 2dBm max with finger in position indicated by video for a period of 10 seconds. It took a bit for the app (one from the play store, not stock on the phone) to show up the...

    Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo No cases for the Ballistic Nylon model?

    Yeah, it could be made out of inconel and could still be easily damaged if not substantially protected from impacts and fluids in my business. Also, the case facilitates easy use of a simple integrated holster. However, I find I'm often carrying the phone in a coveralls pocket and that works...

    possible antenna gate?

    Less than 2dBm here. I also tried various metal objects with little result; some actually improved reception. As example voice went from -95 to -.97 and wifi went from -48 to -50. Posted via the Android Central App

    DROID TURBO: Apps OK to disable

    IIRC, one can tap and hold on the clock until it unsticks and drag it to the 'remove' text that appears. I did it by accident when messing with the phone after getting it.
