I'm looking at the new Moto G as a replacement for my 2013 Moto X. Wondering if anyone has put a Qi wireless receiver into one, and if so, whether the back plate still goes on without trouble and seals well. Really this is just curiosity, not a deal breaker, since I have neither...

I suspect you're right, for just that reason, but I'd like to be sure, as losing the ability to use both lines on one phone would be a deal-breaker for me.

Just to be totally clear, I'm not talking about having two lines on Fi per se. Can a *different* Google Voice number be forwarded to a Fi phone for incoming calls? And can the Google Voice app be used on the Fi phone to make outgoing calls with the other GV number? As I've not seen anything in...

I got my invite this week and have been trying to find an answer to this question in particular before taking the plunge. I have a 2nd GV line for work purposes (if/when I change jobs, I'll cancel that account and start another one - I don't want to give work my "real" phone number) and being...

I haven't seen this exactly, but I have had a somewhat similar issue since the 4.4 upgrade. Three times now I have locked the phone by pressing the power button after making a call, only to subsequently pocket-dial someone. If I switch to a different app or go to the home screen before locking...

Wish Google didn't treat Google Voice like a red-headed stepchild. I use GV exclusively for SMS (no MMS, of course, not that I really care) and it's total lack of integration with anything is very frustrating. I like Hangouts a lot and would happily use it as my only messaging app if it would...

Depends on the features, of course. I could live without "OK Google Now" and the wrist-twist to turn on the camera, for instance.

If the Moto G had been launched alongside the X (and was made available on Ting), I probably would have gone for the G (barring bad reviews, of course). I'm not a power user and I paid a lot more for the X than I wanted to.

My previous phone was 800x480 in a 3.7 inch screen (252 ppi). That phone sucked, but not because of the screen. Now I have 316 ppi in a screen that's a full inch larger. It looks nice. I can't imagine needing more resolution at this size. I'm sure if I held the phone as close as I can focus side...

So I just got my X through Ting, which, if you're not familiar, is a pay-as-you service, but metered - there are tiers for usage but they're much more granular than is typical in the big 4. As such, I use Google Voice for texting, and GrooveIP for voice calls when on WiFi, and try to limit my...

The supcase looks promising. I wish it didn't look so much like a ruggedized phone (which I guess it is, lol) but whatever.

Thanks zmann, I'll check that out.

Pro tip: a frosted clear case looks really stupid on a black phone. It's a nice enough case otherwise, though the cutout for the camera is a little misshapen on mine. So the Hyperion TPU case - the matte black one isn't totally opaque, is that correct? EDIT: I just discovered another problem...

Ha! I'm a dad, so my "give a f***" is permanently broken. Plus my runs are generally at 5 in the morning so nobody will see me anyway...

What is this thing called, this looks like a good alternative to the armband.
