That's the problem- if you can't stop (almost) all the leaks, then it doesn't really do any good. Cracking down on leakers would simply make people more careful when they leak it. There's not much Motorola can do if people make even a minimal effort to conceal their real or virtual identities...

I doubt it. The new update appears to be the same as the old update. It looks like they just changed the update script to deal with the bricking problem. Hopefully the 4.4.2 update goes more smoothly. We'll see when/if we get it...

So, I think you're basically right- compared to other phones, the Droid lineup is basically stock Android with relatively little bloatware (which you can still disable). But, there are customizations. Touchless Controls partially interferes with Google Now voice commands because they both use...

According to posts on XDA, the new soak is only going out to people still on 4.2.2. They're working on the problem with bricked devices during the update process, not the general bugs in Kit Kat. I strongly suspect doogald is correct when it said this is probably more of an update to the...

I bought Tylt Vu chargers as well because my experience with "cheap" Qi chargers was terrible. The Vu is probably the most forgiving Qi charger on the market when it comes to alignment. I don't have major problems with it, but I do have it get it fairly close to centered. A coworkers Nexus 5...

I'm reasonably happy. Other folks have commented about the good parts. I'm going to focus on the bad, only because they haven't been brought out that much, not because I'm unhappy. 1) Build quality- The phone feels pretty solid in your hand, but I'm on Maxx #3 already. The microphone in my...

This just happened to me today. The mic died without warning. It worked fine earlier in the day, then just stopped working completely. Unfortunately, Verizon was pretty terrible about dealing with it. They won't replace phones in-store after 14 days.

An unlocked bootloader makes rooting trivial. You'll always be able to accept OTAs and re-root by flashing your favorite SU program in a custom recovery. Without an unlocked bootloader, you basically need to wait for someone to find an exploit in new firmware/OS builds. A pseudo-alternative...

Haxsync has been acting up for the last week on my stock VZW NGnex (android 4.0.4). Right now I'm running Haxsync v2.3.8. Haxsync force closes any time contacts or the calendar attempts to sync- both for scheduled updates and forced updates. I know there was a corrupt APK before. Do I need...
