I'm not a fan of bulky and expensive cases but my new G5S Plus is kind of slippery to hold. So I bought this slab of "Gun Grip Tape Material" from a seller "Caloosa Tactical" on eBay for $4.40 with free shipping. I measured (18 mm wide and 130 mm long) and cut it, then I cleaned the back of...

Wow, great tip, thanks! The hand wave app works great! Just what I was looking for.

Got mine last Thursday (September 28, 2017), it took one week from the "pre-order" to delivery. I bought the 64GB/4GB version and paid $284.99 total plus state tax (how does the state really know that Lenovo in China is paying the tax back to the state?). I'm replacing a Moto X Pure Edition...

I ordered a G5S Plus yesterday to replace my Moto X PE that will never be updated, has a December 2016 security patch, is running slow and apparently the fast charge has failed because it takes forever to charge now. I said I'd never buy a Motorola again after that but I had to face the fact...

"Do the majority of us really need nougat or oreo? Would we even use the new features?" This is the old "you should be happy with what you have" excuse. Sorry, it doesn't cut it. You can buy a laptop for less than many smartphones today and you'll get Windows updates for years. I have an old...

Here's the news, it wasn't announced as we thought it might.

Really weird, I thought the blogs would be all over this, I can't find any news about today's Motorola event anywhere!

Well, I guess we can now safely assume that the Moto X PE will not be getting any more updates. We'll be lucky if we get another security update. This really stinks, especially since Motorola has been telling us since the fourth quarter of 2016 that the Nougat update was imminent. Problem is...

I think by "Moto Display" you mean the quick notifications on the home screen? If so, I discovered that is one of the best features I've ever experienced on any phone. I use it all the time on my Moto X PE and I recently bought an HTC U11, then discovered it didn't have this vital feature...

Here's an update, HTC wanted us to use their chat service, but it wasn't working. So we emailed them. They finally got back to us and wanted our phone number, they said they'd call within 48 hours. Of course, nothing happened. So, we'll start the process again of trying to contact someone. I'm...

Mine has been broken for a while also on my Moto X PE. What I don't understand is why can't we just set up the local wifi connection as a trusted device? I can do it for a Bluetooth and NFC connection, we should be able to simply set a wifi connection also.

Yes, to confirm, that is the front of the phone.

This phone is ridiculously stupid slippery. I handed it to my wife, she dropped it and the screen cracked. Went to 2 repair places and they said they don't have screens yet for the U11. Anyone know of a source for screens?I P. S. I finally found the support email entry on the HTC website...

I posted this also in the "first impressions" thread. I hate the shiny and unbelievably slippery glass, it looks and feels like plastic and this phone literally is haunted, I can put it down on a flat table and it starts to slide away. Dropped it twice already within the first 15 minutes...

Finally got mine, black. Black looks black, I see no green or anything else in it. Hate to say it, but it looks and feels like plastic. It is slippery as all get-out. Unbelievably slippery. I put it down on a counter and it literally walks off and slid down on to the carpet. I laid it on my lap...
