I'm cool with my gunmetal watchface, but I'm just not a brown leather kind of guy. Anyone know of a reputable source for a gunmetal metal watch band? Seems like there are some on Amazon, but I'd rather take someone's suggestion than go in blind.

I have, and adore, my Moto X 2nd gen, but I have a cracked screen and a whacky battery. Since I'm on Verizon, and my budget is limited, the Turbo 2 is my best option. Please don't make me get a Turbo 2. The Nexus 6P is my dream phone. I've never had the chance to own a Nexus, and now is the...

Re: Verizon Moto X(2014): Check for System Update I bet Verizon pushed this so quickly so they could use it for a holiday sales promo. Posted via Android Central App

My guess, and this may tie in to other posts, is we will see an announcement of the X+1 which will be released with Android L, and then the updates for the other Droids will come a month or two after the new model's sales decline a bit. Posted via Android Central App

Re: M8 hype I'm in agreement with being tentative to ever get an HTC. I had great luck with the DINC and DINC2, but the rezound ruined everything, as well as the quick end of life on all of them. I also don't particularly care about finish since I put a case an almost right away. Posted via...

I think I would be more excited about the M8 if I hadn't grown to love the simplicity of the Moto X. The lack of "whistles and bells" and just having functional perks (assist, touchless, etc.) reality appeals to me. What are your thoughts? Posted via Android Central App

I must be doing something wrong with my watch. Unplugged for 7 hours and I'm down to 77% battery. Posted via Android Central App

I have a Pebble and noticed that sometimes while I'm in the car, it disconnects my bluetooth speakerphone, but it's not consistent. How is your battery life on your Pebble? Mine is consistently short and I wasn't sure if it was because of the Moto X's notification system. Posted via Android...

Figured it was something like that. Now I just need to figure out why I'm only getting one day out of my battery. Figures something to do with the Moto X and it's constantly checking for notifications. Posted via Android Central App

Just bought my Pebble a day everything runs like a dream with my Moto X except for my non Gmail account. When I get a new message it just says "new email received" without any other preview or info. I feel like I saw something about this somewhere else, but wasn't sure if anyone here had a fix...

I personally didn't wait. I always put a case on my phone, so I wouldn't see the color anyway. Also, I went and ordered through the Verizon store and had the phone delivered to my house. That way, if something goes wrong, I can go to vzw instead of direct to Moto (hopefully). Lastly, as...

I just talked to one of the most knowledgable reps I've met at the Verizon store, and yes, phones that are built without removable backs do have a "battery pull simulation" by pressing a combination of buttons. Plus, she said that, in her experience, all of the motorola phones have been built...

I'm having the exact same quandary. Everyone is talking about how great the HTC One is, but between how quickly HTC phones hit end of life for support and upgrades, and how remarkably crappy my Rezound turned out to be, I'm thinking of going to either the S4 or the Moto X. My biggest concern is...

...but no release or delivery date. Well, for those of us Big Red users who want to get our grubby hands on it, it's at least a sign that it's coming. Just still no guarantee as to when.

I'm just glad I'm not the only one. This started happening to me a few weeks ago. The only fix I've noticed to work, though randomly, is to push the contact name, then turn the phone off (not all the way, just push the button at the top). Count to three, turn it back on, and unlock the phone. It...
