Vanilla Android is something that I've wanted for a long time now. I was sick of Samsung's bloatware and slow UI. So far, the Pixel is absolutely. Yeah, it does suck that features like "Private Mode" aren't included, but there's third-party apps for it.

Dang, I was hoping that wasn't the case. Any suggestions for a good third-party app?

Hi, I just got the Google Pixel XL from Verizon today, and I was wondering if if had a built-in "Private Mode" like Samsung devices do. If it does, how do you use it? Thanks, Christopher

That really sucks. We used to be able to transfer basic phone upgrades to smartphone lines without being charged for it.

So I'm on a Verizon plan with a few upgrades available on other lines. The thing is that they are basic phone lines (don't have data access fees), not smartphone lines. In the past, I know that one was able to transfer the basic upgrade to a smartphone line without theoretically upgrading the...

That's awesome if it's true. Was there any rumored date of the update?

Still waiting for 5.1.1 here in the US on Verizon's network too. I really hope they push the 6.0 update to the Galaxy S5, but I'm not getting my hopes up, considering the S5 is almost two generations behind.

A new phone would be so helpful

I just got my Moto 360 today! Right out of the package, it only had 16% battery which sucked, but I placed it on the charging dock and looked back at it about 20-30 minutes later and it was at 75%! I am already loving this thing. I really appreciate everyone's suggestion of buying this. I think...

I'm still waiting for it to get delivered! I heard that the new update brought a ton of new and useful features and I can't wait!

When I ordered my 360, I picked one-day shipping so I could get it by Friday, July 3rd and not have to wait through the weekend, who h was an additional $22! However, the shipment was delayed a day, and I now have to wait until Monday to get it. I contacted Amazon about how it really wasn't fair...

I just checked for a new software update today and an update was pushed from Verizon. This isn't the 5.1.1 update, but a rather small update that adds fingerprint functionality to Microsoft Exchange and some other improvements. I guess it's better than not getting any kind of updates. Posted...

I finally made up my mind and ordered the 360 yesterday and it should be here tomorrow. And actually, the Moto 360 (Leather) is only $150 on Amazon, Google Play, and Motorola's website. Thanks for all the comments! I can't wait to un-box this beast!

I think I might just get it. How durable is it? I work in a woodshop, and it gets really dusty in there, and there's a change I could hit it against some things. Posted via the Android Central App

Hey guys, I've been looking into getting a smart watch for my Galaxy S5, and I've seen some really good reviews for the Moto 360 and practically have been druelling over it for a while now. I'm on the fence between getting it now, since it's only $150, and waiting until the second generation...
