Hi, I use Cyanogenmod on a Mot X and was annoyed to find that their Calendar app needs online access. DUH. Can anyone please recommend a calendar app that stores the data on the phone. I spend most of my time away from towers or wifi. My old $29 Lumia 520, did it all fine, so am bit shocked...

I am super impressed and that is not an easy thing to do to me. :) Install was easy and full system backup and restores take less than a minute each. Kinda glad my Lumia barfed it last week and I had tot drag the X out of mothballs while I decided what to buy as a replacement. Pretty clear to...

My windows phone barfed last week so I had to drag out the Moto X (2013) while I figured out what to buy as msoft wanted as much as I paid for it to service it. One of the reasons I had dumped the X for an unlocked windows phone was that the X was never going to get an update again. But, being...

I am from the other way around, having just moved to a Nokia win8. I have to agree with you on the complexities of Android, but the more the OS will do the more there is to learn how to do it. Win8 is no poster-girl for "intuitive" either, but I must say, it is a lot easier to pickup than...

Thanks, but there is no "gear" on the keyboard. Under Settings, Apps, Running, Google Keyboard, Settings -- "Voice Input Key" is grayed out with an also grayed out message, "No voice input methods enabled. Check Language & input methods," but there is nothing there to enable voice.

Moto-X, XT-1053: I have no shaded bar at the top of the lock-screen and thus, no microphone. Apps that used (4.4.2) to have voice input no longer have the microphone, nor does the standard google keyboard. I have looked in Disabled apps and nothing there suggests it should be re-enabled. Is...

Change for the sake of change. I thought 4.4.3 was a bug fix, but it seems time has been wasted messing with things that should have at best, been left as they were - or - if they must change, at least give us an option of background color and contrast. Can we all say "autocratic?" WinPhone 8.1...

Re: Unlocked 4.4.3 Got mine this morning. All installed and so far all is well. XT-1053. Not seeing any of the problems being reported in other threads. My biggest complaint with 4.4.2 was unreliable tethering, but so far, it looks to be fixed, but still early days. :)

Hi, just had a weird thing with the X 4.4.2. On a call and on hold longer than the normal screen timeout of 2-minutes. Finally got to a human and the screen was black but I was still able to carry on the call. I didn't want to press any buttons in case it dropped the call and I would have to...

Thanks, but that is no better. I get a blank page that says "No Contacts" and then I have to tap the menu and add. And around we go again. I know there are no contacts, I only just started using the dialer. We use the phone mostly for data, just in case that "contacts" comment made you scratch...

I just dialed a number that was busy and wanted to add it to the contacts so I can call it again later. I am damned if I can find how to do that without typing in the number again to the contacts entry page. Please tell me this is not as good as Android gets. Do I really have to type in the...

Hi All, When using a notepad type of thing, I have found I can only add a short string of words and the Android goes off to make sense of it and paste it into the notepad. 1: Is there any way to dictate continuously? If I am writing a list it takes forever as each list item takes about 15...

Hi, I am a little confused by no-contract and locked, but that's easily done though. :) I have the XT1053 no-contract version of the X not unlocked it and still as it came from Moto. I bought a SIM from TMo and it all works fine. We have both AT&T and TMo on our local towers. I would like to...

Ummm, how does he know that it is not accessing the Internet? It is highly unlikely that it is not validating the text and gathering the correct spelling on the phone. As far as I am aware, all S2T in mobiles is validated OTA. Unless your brother has turned off the cell-radio, (free app) not...
