Jerry, I'm not asking for tech support. I've been a reader here for years and, while I'm sure you could fix my problem, I don't expect that you're in the business of free customer service in your spare time. What I'm looking for is a little direction to help me solve a unique problem which you...

Yes, I saw that. I guess my post was more in response to: The Nexus line is dead, says Android chief | Android Central Sounds like a feint, I hope...

I have the Nexus 7 (2013) and I still use it daily. I've looked into replacing it, but everything I've seen has the same basic, fatal flaw. I want a device with a pocketable form factor, with moderate specs and consistent, timely software updates. Samsung makes some nice tablets. Amazon Kindle...

Not sure that's correct. Here is what is listed: Cellular (US) GSM 850, 900, 1800, 1900MHz WCDMA Band 1/2/4/5/8 LTE Band 1/2/4/5/7/8/12/17 Dual Nano SIM Looking at Verizon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks I see bands 2 and 4 supported. Someone with a better technical grasp...

OK, it looks like Phil was all over this earlier today. He linked to an internal site which will let you get notified when something drops: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/software-upgrade-news/g_id/1949

Thank you for that. All I was able to find offered similar statements: Here's every device getting Android 5.0 Lollipop so far Android 5.0 Lollipop update schedule: Find out when and if your smartphone will get it : PERSONAL TECH : Tech Times "Motorola announced that Android 5.0 Lollipop...

Has anyone heard a date for the Maxx to receive this?

These are great specs, but coming from a Droid Maxx I won't be interested until I see details on the battery.

That links to another case that I've never seen before. I might take a flyer on it though, since it's cheap and has a kickstand. Here's a link to the DualPro: Amazon.com: Incipio MT-302 DualPRO SHINE for the Motorola DROID Maxx - Titanium Silver/ Obsidian Black - Carrying Case - Retail...

Thank you, that is correct. I've heard references to the nano coating as part of the manufacturing process. I am relieved, however, to hear that it passed the clumsy waitress test! Nothing like real-world testing for validation...

Just curious, I've heard this mentioned a couple times but haven't seen any specifics on it. Does anyone have information on the water-resistant coating and what we can expect from it?

Came from a Note 2 on Sprint and couldn't be happier with this phone. I'm at 27% battery after >47 hours with over 4 hours of screen "on" time. The only complaint I have is the lack of an SD card slot. I have a class 10, 64gb card that I'd like to use.

I don't know much about display technology, but I can say without a doubt that the screen looks fantastic. If the trade off is less resolution for more battery life, I think it was the right call. This thing is bright enough to see in nearly direct sunlight and it really looks great. I'm coming...

http://support.verizonwireless.com/content/dam/support/pdf/system_update/droid-ultra-maxx.pdf Link is to Verizon .pdf about the update, which contains all of the following: KEY DEVICE ENHANCEMENTS SOFTWARE UPDATE DROID ULTRA AND DROID MAXX SOFTWARE VERSION 12.7.7.OBAKE_VERIZON.VERIZON.EN.US...

I did the same yesterday and so far, no regrets! This phone has a great mix of features and solid build. I love the screen and don't miss the S-pen, which I did not use much. The only downer for me is the lack of support for additional storage.
