    Motorola camera uodate

    I use Moto camera for pics, and Google Camera for video (you can adjust recording resolution which saves storage space). I find the focus better with Moto camera than Google, especially with close objects. I also like having the focus and manual exposure right on site. Focus is generally slow...

    In call volume

    Thanks for the update. I personally find in call volume to be low, even when maxed out. Speaker volume is plenty adequate though.

    I'm using Moto X Play, why does the battery drain fast if i'mm browsing on Chrome?

    Use Opera instead, much better browsing experience. For extreme data savings, use Opera Mini. I use Opera on Wi-fi, and Mini on data. I've seriously never seen battery use for Opera any higher than 1%.

    Open links in Facebook. [Messenger]

    When I share a Facebook link in Messenger, or receive a shared link, it always asks me which browser to open the link, instead of opening the original content in Facebook. Is this normal behavior? Thanks! ✌

    What I need from an Android Phone.

    Excellent reply, thanks so much! I was interested in the G4, but at the time my carrier did not have it, nor can I justify purchasing one full out cash. A few weeks later, and I see my carrier has it, but for $5 more a month than what I'm currently paying with the X Play. Which is all ready much...

    What I need from an Android Phone.

    I've "upgraded" from a BB9900 a few weeks ago to a Moto X Play. Here's a few gripes I have with Android phone. Maybe you could suggest a phone, that works well as a phone. It seems my $10 home phone puts my Android phone to shame, as far as functionality goes. 1) With data off, I do not receive...

    Hey-ya! I have a limited data plan and have it turned off 99% of the time. I'd like to receive a notification when somrone sends me a picture the same as if someone sent me a text message. Would this be possible? I'm currently use stock messaging program.

    "Zoomr" (IOS) alternative?

    I'm looking for an app than will allow me to crop and zoom a section of a picture, copy that section and paste it as a new layer on the original picture. It's to make those zoomed in memes. haha

    Emails arrive late..

    It seems that since I've changed incoming to "imap.mail.yahoo.com" The emails are coming in faster. Not as instant as Gmail, but good enough. Thanks!

    Emails arrive late..

    Moto X Play, Android 6, Gmail app, WiFi. I find that I'll receive E-mail notification HOURS after the original message stamp, sometimes never. This leaves me having to constantly refresh manually. I checked sync frequency and the quickest I can set is 15minutes. Any advice, should I try a new...

    Any better facebook app alternatives

    I've found the best Facebook experience is on BlackBerry. Very effective, pictures on your news feed aren't HUGE, can easier differentiate who's posting what. Etc. I find Facebook in Android to be awful. The main app is horrible. So I'm left having to use a combination of in-browser and Lite.

    Update to Marshmallow Moto X Play

    Performance is good. Within the OS everything works very fast. Haven't noticed any slowdowns in games. Lots of reviews on YouTube guys. That's how I made my choice.

    Update to Marshmallow Moto X Play

    I would love to post pictures but can't post links yet, since I'm new here. I just want to say that I have experience with DSLR cameras, and I'm fairly critical. First off the camera software that comes with the phone blows. No touch focus and no ability to change the size (resolution) of...
