    New walnut Moto X has "bubbles" in wood laminate

    Re: New walnut moto x has "bubbles" in wood laminate BTW, the "walnut" does not feel particularly wood-like -- it is thin and vinyl-like. And it looks like the wood grain is printed on with an inkjet printer. The bamboo look and feel is more like wood (even though bamboo is a grass) and is...

    New walnut Moto X has "bubbles" in wood laminate

    Just ordered a new walnut moto x. The back must be laminated (poorly) to plastic or some other substrate as the wood has 3 bubles in it that are quite noticeable to feel. I earlier returned a bamboo one that had peculiar coloring (it looked "dirty" out of the box). They seem to have big...

    Moto X: Need help. Roaming on T-Mobile in Europe

    Could be a carrier problem. Do you and your samsung toting friend use the same service provider and the same plan? Go to the shop that sells your sim, or buy a new one on a different service provider, and ask them how to configure your phone. Btw, this site is particularly helpful for carrier...

    Observations on the Bamboo Moto X and switching from an HTC One

    The wood feels smooth but not overly slick to my hands. They are not as "grippy" as the soft touch. I think the wood feels nice -- not cheap and plastic-y or cold and metallic.

    Observations on the Bamboo Moto X and switching from an HTC One

    I recently ordered an AT&T bamboo Moto X, coming from an HTC One. Here are some observations that may be useful to some... Why switch?. The HTC one is a tad large and has some flakiness -- nothing major but enough little things to cause me to look at other phones. In particular, the sensor...

    HTC does not have their act together...

    I am warning others by sharing my experience. Consider it a public service message. The only way I can activate my phone is by setting up an account with them, either through email or using Facebook or Google, the latter 2 of which they seek the right to gain access to all your posts, friends...

    HTC does not have their act together...

    I did a hard reset on my phone after backing up to my HTC account. I forgot my password and the automated password reset service at htcsense.com does says it sent an email but never does (and yes, I have checked my spam folder). I called HTC and they said they have to escalate this with...

    Dev / Unlocked 4.06.1540.3 Update

    I just updated as well. I think it may have fixed an annoying bug, where the screen wold stay dark while on a call and moving the phone away from my ear (to key in a number for example). I would press the power button on top to try to get the screen to light up and then lose the call. Now...

    How to eliminate a widget from the phone...

    I made the mistake of installing the Dashclock widget on my HTC One. It does not do what I want it to and therefore I don't need it. Unfortunately, it continues to run a process even though I don't utilize it on any of my screens. There is no "App" to uninstall, and when I try to delete the...
