My girlfriend's XPE also shattered from a fall. She hates having to get new phones though so I ordered a new display assembly and I'm gonna just try to repair it. Between ifixit guides and youtube, the hardest part is getting the glued-on backplate off (which I've already done in preparation for...

Is it totally confirmed that security updates won't be a thing with the Z's?

I'm considering the Z Force since my girlfriend and I are pretty big into AR gaming (we're both avid Ingress and PGO players). I understand that the shattershield part of the Force is basically a screen protector itself. My question is this: can a glass screen protector be installed over the...

Clarified a bit- We're on Verizon which limits our choices just a bit

My girlfriend and I play both PGO and Ingress but due to an unfortunate series of events, she needs a new device. I've successfully converted her from her old iPhone (which now has a shattered screen but is still kickin') to my old 2015 Moto X (also now has a shattered screen but is far less...

I think I looked at this one before but the link is currently dead. Was this the 26800 behemoth? I was thinking about that one for use at Ingress events but didn't care for the idea of needing to pay attention to the 'press the button before plugging in or the battery will charge instead of the...

<singing>Oh nexus6P, oh nexus6p, I'd love to have you under my tree</singing>

I've been encountering notifications to share bug reports since I updated to MM. It doesn't seem at all consistent when they occur but it's frequent enough for me to take note of them. Has anyone else encountered this? The closest to useful thing in the bug report itself I could find was...

dammit- looks like I'll have to wait a bit until I can do a clean flash then

Mine failed to update twice. Root wouldn't prevent the update going through, would it?

Nova Launcher, Simple Image Wallpaper Wallpaper and app drawer icon are semi custom (color shifted images from deviantart and google). Tasker and AutoVoice profiles in place to control the same lights as the widget on screen 2 hands free (looking for more things to do with custom voice...

Re: Marshmallow: MicroSD card users - will you use adoptable storage? Maybe. I think the necessity of a sim tool to access the card slot limits the convenience of portable memory for my purposes. On the other hand, I run a pretty lean system and have more than enough memory padding for what I...

I remember having some trickiness involving putting the verizon widget on there but I can't recall what I did to fix it off the top of my head. I'll poke around after work and get back to you on that one. As for the slipperiness, I had similar concerns even back on the 2014 X (back then I was...

Ry is spot on- I ordered my XPE just a couple days after preorders opened to replace last year's (verizon) X. Most of the decision was because it is completely carrier branding free (though I did install the My Verizon app for bill pay and the data usage widget) and rootability. My job...

I would like a 5X because I'm currently on a Moto X and the future seems a bit shaky for that line. The fingerprint scanner sounds pretty cool too.
