    Moto X: Strange notification sound

    Weather storm alerts? First time it happened to me it surprised the heck out of me since I never really went about setting one up (turned out it was buried in a weather app)

    Custom colors ? how's yours holding up

    Phil's problem goes to the reason I'll wander into a Best Buy before I spring for a cell phone purchase. Provided the display units are not mockups, it's a pretty good way to see how well the materials are going to wear. Dozens of folks pawing the thing day after day after day gives you a fair...

    What is the big deal about Motomaker if you use a case?

    I use a bumper to get some protection but would be interested in finding a transparent one.

    Moto Maker Wood: Ebony, Teak, Walnut coming 2014-01-21

    Re: New Wood Backs Coming Any Time! Absolutely !!! That orange pop looks crazy good. It's taking everything I've got not to send my back in since I'd be under the 30-day return, but in all fairness I'm really happy I've got a unit that works well and again, to be fair, I'd like to see...

    Moto X: Car kit recommendations

    Great ideas techi. That dock mount looks like it would hold an elephant! Brilliant idea putting a Skip in the mount. If I don't go with a Bluetooth solution to get & keep the phone unlocked that Skip-in-the-dock trick might be great. Am I wrong to understand that at this point with...

    4G/LTE Issues on Sprint - Moto X

    All I can add is the Sprint 4G on my "X" works phenomenally better than the EVO LTE it replaced. Night and Day. Obviously YMMV.

    Moto X: Car kit recommendations

    Thanks Phil. I really hadn't considered just doing a dock setup (I was thinking more in terms of a sun visor Bluetooth speakerphone thingy) but you might be on to something here. Guess I'd better fish around the house for a refrigerator magnet to coax the Moto into Car Mode and see if it will...

    Moto X: Car kit recommendations

    Really enjoying the trusted bluetooth feature so much so that I'm now in the market for a car kit since it might make travel communications easier. I am concerned that since the Moto touchless handles many of the features that car kits are equipped with such as voice dialing, answering, etc. I...

    Explain to a foreigner what's so great about the Moto X?

    Let's not overlook something very fundamental: Motorola engineered a really good radio for this phone.

    Eligible for upgrade tomorrow...

    I guess it sometimes comes under "you pays your quarter,you takes your chances". I ordered the same color scheme as you, on the same day, was told the same estimated date, got the confirming emails the same day and had mine in hand less than 48 hours after placing the order. Go figure. In any...

    Best Moto x flash notification apps

    If there's not an app out there, it's a brilliant idea for one using the camera flash as a ring notification. Very useful for the hearing impaired community. In my old line of work, we had to have all the phones wired up with strobe lights and such in TV control rooms and recording studios...

    A little funky behavior with Trusted Device

    I think I figured it out.... I disabled the laptop as an bluetooth audio device on the Moto. Works great now, very cool feature. Looking forward to when the "Tile" type devices start coming out later this year so I can setup more trusted zones. (I agree with you tr-1, being able to have...

    A little funky behavior with Trusted Device

    Interesting. Mine seems to work fine for the PIN lock/unlock, the ringtone audio is the only problem. BTW - I just checked, no issues with activating/deactivating laptop as trusted device, no issues with deactivating/reactivating PIN screen lock.

    A little funky behavior with Trusted Device

    No, using it as a trusted device for automatic screen unlock.

    A little funky behavior with Trusted Device

    Not earth shaking, but I noticed when I set up my laptop to be a trusted device (which worked well enough) the ringtone and notification playback on the phone got very choppy. I just got my Moto X a few days ago and thought 'dang it, my speaker is defective' but as soon as I turned the...
