    At&t Moto X (2013) Lollipop Update

    I originally posted my own thread, but just found this one so wanted to chime in as well. My update process didn't go smoothly. Android insisted all my data had been corrupted during the update and that I needed to factory reset. Factory reset wouldn't work, however (nothing in recovery did)...

    Can/Should I reflash 5.1?

    Would AT&T service the device even though I bought the device outright and have always been on cricKet? It looks like the update was pulled by AT&T so maybe the next update will fix my issues. If it doesn't, do I manually reflash by just dropping the update .zip on my phone then applying it...

    Can/Should I reflash 5.1?

    I'm running an AT&T branded 2013 Moto X on Cricket and recently applied the 5.1 update. Unfortunately, the update didn't go smoothly. After quite a bit of messing around, I finally got it to boot, but since then things have been wonky. I've done a factory reset, but the following issues still...

    Weird battery shutdown...

    My wife and I have both seen this in the last couple weeks on our E4GTs. With both phones, it has only been since upgrading to ICS, though she's stock non-rooted and I'm on CM9 Alpha 6. It's not always a shut down, it's just a severe drop in battery. Once I went from 70% to about 10%...

    Repair Possible?

    Thanks all for the replies, lots of good info! I also appreciate the well wishes. Fortunately, the shock has worn off now :-) I had searched around a bit but didn't find anywhere to get replacement parts or repairs for the E4GT, all my searches just turned up info on the E4G (original Galaxy...

    Repair Possible?

    Well, I appear to be in a pickle. My wife and I both got E4GTs on launch day and declined the TEP figuring that we are careful with our phones and when you consider that the TEP would be $200 / year for the two of us, if anything did happen, we'd probably break even or come out ahead just...

    Who uses the samsung vlingo app?

    Thanks for the info, oversteer325. I'll try de-pairing and re-pairing when I get home tonight. I agree that Voice Talk in general is really nice. When I'm using my bluetooth around the house and can manually unlock my phone first, being able to text, call, search, etc. hands-free is very...

    Who uses the samsung vlingo app?

    Thanks for all the info, guys. I spent a good bit of time playing with this over the Holiday weekend. I have an old Motorola H500 and MotoROKR S305 hooked up to my E4GT and my wife has a new LG HBS-700 hooked up to her E4GT and after lots of playing with settings, resyncing, etc. I have only...

    Who uses the samsung vlingo app?

    Can you give some more detail on how exactly you got your bluetooth to work well with Vlingo? I've never been able to get it to work right and even posted a thread here on this board about it and nobody who posted there seemed to be able to get it to work either. Specifically - if the phone is...

    How to legally use in the car?

    Thanks for the responses, guys. Unfortunately, I don't think either of those is going to work for me. On my motorola headset, at least, holding the button performs a redial, so that's no use. As for having it launch automatically when bluetooth is connected, that makes the setup a little more...

    How to legally use in the car?

    This is my first android phone, so I don't know if this is typical or not, but I can't seem to find any good way to use my phone legally while driving. Where I live, you are only allowed to use a headset and with all 3 dumb phones I've had over the last ~6 years, I've had no problem using a...

    Video Camera Constantly Focusing

    I mean a separate actual camera (a Samsung HD Camcorder). It's pretty small but not nearly as convenient as using a phone that is always in your pocket, so I was hoping to switch to using my phone for most video, but it's just not working out and I'm hoping someone can help me figure out why.

    Video Camera Constantly Focusing

    When using the video recording mode in the built in camera app, the camera refocuses every 10-15 seconds, causing the videos I record to keep going in and out of focus. I'm mostly recording my infant son playing with toys and crawling around a bit, nothing with lots of movement or dramatic...

    5 stores -> Empty Handed

    Yeah, I was surprised as this didn't seem to be a hugely hyped release in general, so I expected somebody would have them. As for ordering online or telesales - it's definitely an option, but my wife wants to check the phone out first but I can't even seem to get my hands on a display unit!

    5 stores -> Empty Handed

    So, I got out of work way early today and decided it was time to head down to the sprint store and get my E4GT and also have my wife check it out so she can decide between that and the NS4G. My son was still napping, so I figured I should call the store, just to make sure they hadn't sold out...
