Quick, content-free update. I replied to the nearly-empty email from Motorola yesterday and received this reply today - "Good day. We are just making a follow up regarding your concern about your Moto G,phone that you have ordered online,and we dont have yet any updates for the tracking...

Re: When did you order and when did/will you receive? Ordered a 16GB/2GB white Moto G 2015 last Thursday Aug 27 with an estimated Friday Sep 04 delivery. By Saturday Aug 29, just two days later, the order status slider had moved from Order Placed through Order Approved, Device Built, and Order...

The 5.0.2 version of Lollipop was already downloaded and verified OTA when I turned on my tablet this morning. It installed smoothly on my Nexus 7 2012 version. I want to believe that it is running faster now. Switching the Chrome tabs is pretty quick, and browsing through reddit or imgur is...

Thanks for the suggestion, hisense. I'm just bumping this thread to report that I had to return the Moto G LTE (4.5" screen), aka the Moto G 2013 LTE version. After a couple of days of use the phone function started to malfunction - and yes, to the manufacturer's surprise we users do...

Thanks for the thoughts, Kolten. I see this morning that the Moto G (2014) is back in stock on Amazon, now with an admonishment "In stock but may require an extra 1-2 days to process". As an aside, you mentioned that with the Moto E I'm "losing a 720 p screen, a better processor, better...

I've been using a Google Nexus 5 since about a year ago but am disappointed by its battery life. I constantly use wife's Moto G (original 2013) phone when we're on vacation because my Nexus 5 will be drained empty by mid-afternoon from typical vacation usage (snapshots, internet searches...

Attached you can see the setting that enables focus & exposure lock. Another screenshot shows the default focus position & in the last image I dragged the focus point to the upper-right with my finger.

@dw1987 - As you mentioned, one of the problems with your landscape shots is the high amount of contrast between the sky and the landscape itself. Any camera, from a D-SLR to your smartphone, is going to struggle to find the right exposure in that situation. I have the Nexus 5, and at Christmas...

I posted last week in this thread about the email I received that said my phones would ship on the 17th. They came yesterday (Wed 12/18) without any further email or tracking number provided in advance. Both phones seem to work fine. They remind me of my Nexus 4 but peppier. I have a Nexus 5 as...

I ordered my phone on Thu 11/28 around 10pm, expecting shipment on 11/9. Earlier this week I heard about the weather delays just to my north (in Ft Worth TX), and I just received an email from Motorola (7:08pm CST Wed 2013-12-11). I'll paste it here: Hi <my name>, As you may have heard, large...

In case you hadn't considered it - you can buy it from the Google Play store, then get an un-subsidized AT&T plan for it.

Yes I do. To me there's no point in cutting into the battery life by leaving it active when I'm not interacting with the phone. Been doing it that was since my 2nd-generation Nexus S.

@DirkBelig - You don't have to hunt for the original image. You can just open it up again in the built-in photo editor, select the menu in the upper-right, and hit "RESET". Or use "Show Applied Effects" to review and/or alter the previously-applied effects one-by-one. Embrace the change ;)

Followup to my earlier reply - screenshots at the end of day three of light usage.

Just another data point with screenshots. The first few days with the phone I was using it heavily but yesterday (Friday) and today (Saturday) is more typical for me; light use. btw when I had the Nexus 4 I thought Qualcomm's BatteryGuru app was pretty useful, so it's one of the first things I...
