I once had a Moto X, and, aside from the crappy battery and camera, I loved it specifically because of the "always listening" feature (and the fact that it knew when I was driving and adjusted settings for reading me my texts, for instance, when I was driving). Great feature, and I miss it a...

Hi everyone- I got tired of the bad battery life of my Moto X and bought a Z3, which arrives Thursday. I expect to re-install my usual apps, get my widgets and Nova launcher installed and set up, and disable the Sony firmware (should I disable all of it?- the walkman app seemed useful in a...

I'm coming from the Moto X (2014), and I love the way it recognizes that I'm driving and offers to read my texts to me. What is the Xperia Z3 equivalent (or the closest thing to it) to this feature? I'm pretty sure that only Motorolas have this exact feature, but even an app which allows you...

I love the Moto assist in the car, where it reads your texts. The voice assist would be nice too, but my company email requires a pass code, which almost negates the assist entirely (it still works, but requires you to type or speak the PIN code, which in the former case is an aggravating pain...

Hi- I'm a new Android guy, got a Moto X (2014) a few weeks ago, and love it, but for the camera, and- especially- the battery. I bought a Sony Xperia Z3 today (delivery scheduled for Thursday 12/4, I think), and I need to figure out how to get my whole contacts list from my Moto X to my new Z3...

I'm new to Android and bought a Moto X (2nd Gen) a few months ago. I love Android, and the Moto X, for the most part. Pros: Moto voice controls, reading me texts when I'm driving, etc.; Cons: battery and camera. I was wondering if anyone else made the same switch (Moto X (2nd Gen) to Sony...

By the way, do I keep checking settings/about phone/system updates to see if the update has been pushed to me, does it just pop up on my screen automatically, do I need to restart, or go to the Motorola web page? How do these things get pushed out?

No update in Atlanta... This is my first Android phone ever, so I am mildly excited, and hoping that this update helps with my two biggest complaints about the Moto X (as with everyone else, those complaints are the battery and the camera). I'm getting so frustrated in particular with the...

Re: Google can easily sell the Moto X as a smaller Nexus I understand that the Droid Turbo goes on sale today at Verizon (at least that's what I read), so how long of a wait are we in for to see the release of the Moto Maxx (a.k.a. the Droid Turbo for non-Verizon carriers)? Does anyone know?

To the OP, I did the opposite- I went to Android after having iPhones from the original to the iPhone 5. Even though the 6 and 6+ have finally upsized the screens, I am tired of the same old thing from Apple. iTunes, the iOS, the same old same old. Every time they came out with a new model or...

Hey guys, I am new to Android- I just bought a Moto X (2nd gen) about a month ago, and while I love Android, and my Moto X in general, the battery life and camera are giving me a wandering eye, so I am thinking of moving over either to the Nexus 6 or the Moto Maxx (the rumored non-Verizon half...

... I see that the Nexus 6 has the same 13 MP shooter that the Moto X (2nd gen) has. I own a Moto X (2nd gen) and while I love the phone in general, I find the camera very frustrating and erratic (coming from an iPhone 5, where taking in-focus pictures was a breeze). I keep hearing that the...

Re: Show Off Your Homescreen I love the time / date / weather widget design on your home page, and bought Zooper. Quick question if you don't mind: how did you get your text to be all CAPS? I can't seem to get that to work, and it's my preferred font option too... Thanks in advance.

I have a new Moto X (2014) and I have the Directv app. My battery use details shows that my Directv app has stayed awake (but it is NOT active- it's closed out) for about 80% of the day, even though I only used it this morning to set two programs to record on my DVR. No streaming video...

I have a follow-up question: I bought an unlocked Moto X and use it off contract on AT&T. When Android L comes out, will I get it through AT&T and if so, will it come with AT&T firmware attached? Part of the reason that I spent the extra $ for the unlocked version was to avoid firmware, so I...
