    Music Control

    I use both of those programs, and Slacker music, and also experience the issue. I've just kind of ignored it and end up hitting the button a couple times until it takes. The FF is handy to skip commercials in Pocket. BTW you can also control YouTube playback if you have Chromecast via the...

    Camera crashing all the time!

    Same problem here. It seems to have something to do with not being unlocked. Have you noticed that?

    Cell version without cell plan?

    Yes, except it can function as a BT speaker phone well. You can make and answer calls, or play podcast or music through the watch. The microphone's is pretty good quality too.

    Can I use the 3G Gear S2 (AT&T) without activating a plan on it?

    It should no problem. I just bought a T-mobile refurb s2 3G on EBay for $99 that I use like that. My phone's Verizon but I just use the watch via BT. you can talk, make, and answer calls as long as the phone is connected.

    Using the Nexus 5X on Verizon?

    Not sure if you got this resolved, but you need to call vz and have them switch you from Visual Voicemail to Standard. See https://www.mattcutts.com/blog/verizon-visual-voicemail-texts/

    Google Voice commands sometimes don't turn the phone on, is anyone else experiencing this?

    Re: Google Voice commands sometimes don't turn the phone on I've experienced similar behavior for years with Android. I have Wi-Fi at my house and a shop that's 300' away. When I go out my driveway my BT becomes intermittent. Until I get out of Wi-Fi range and it gives up (I think). I think...

    Camera lag anyone?

    I lace camera lag as you describe. It didn't use it much before the update but I agree that the update seems to have made it worse. Other apps lag as well. I'm on Fi and suspect that. I'm switching back to vz for a week to see if that has an effect.

    Former Blackberry User with Nexus 6P - several questions

    Re: Switch from BlackBerry Passport SE?? If I go Add Account one if the options is Exchange. No idea how well it works as I'm using TouchDown without issue and don't really want to open a new can of worms!

    Former Blackberry User with Nexus 6P - several questions

    Re: Switch from BlackBerry Passport SE?? Outlook/Exchange was my biggest concern switching to Android many moons ago. I was told about TouchDown, tried it, and have been using it ever since, with apparently near-full Outlook support (i needed sub-inbox folder support). I think they got bought...

    Did you buy before the Black Friday Pricing?

    I ordered mine from Amazon on the 20th. Emailed them Friday regarding the -$80 and they emailed me right back informing me that they would credit my cc account the $80. 7 days later, but not bad. You might try sending a nice email and see what happens!

    Question about Neuxs 5x Service providers

    I'm also evaluating the 5x (seems too big for me, but I'll give it a few days). I came from a Moto X 2013 on Verizon prepay, which I've had for over a year. I just popped my sim card in the 5x and voice, data, text, all seem to work as expected. I've heard you can just go to a Verizon store and...

    Moto Assist driving issue

    I know it's not the same thing, but do you have to have the app handcent enabled in Active Display/Selected apps. I think I had a similar issue with Handcent a while back and did something (don't quite remember) to breath life back into it. Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk

    How to lock Moto X

    I use Widgetsdroid and add a lock icon. Then pull down and tap the lock icon. [Tried to add a screen shot for you but don't have enough posts] Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk

    Anything yet to have the phone read texts allowed when not in drive mode?

    You might try My Motospeak from the play store. It has issues but can do what you ask. Not sure if you need a Motorola headset, but probably not. Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk

    Moto X (1st gen): Front Camera Grommet Dislocated

    Re: Moto X - Front Camera Grommet Dislocated Here's a good shot of the problem. I think this happened after I dropped my phone pretty hard. Landed on the bottom edge. I doesn't affect my front camera image as far as I can tell.
