Robin's Motorola DROID Turbo 2 Thread

[Raring]

Re: Anybody have ballistic nylon backing?

Never mind - I just remembered the lower one is the rear microphone. What is the upper 'hole'?

Re: Anybody have ballistic nylon backing?

Just unboxing mine. First though to hold it is 1) bigger than I had thought (coming from tiny Moto X '13) and 2) slippery

I will not case this phone. Anything to make it bigger = bad.

Follow up question: is there supposed to be a tiny hole right about the camera and another one just below the second D in "Droid" (speaking of back cover still). They appear purposeful.

The UAG case is awesome... Remember it can scratch

Re: Anyone check out Moto voice?

I've had it activated since my first Turbo. I don't use it much, but when I do, it works well.

It's not without caveats, however. This is an interesting read, and highlights some of those.

Aren't there metal sides on all 3 different categories of backs? I miss the soft touch sides of previous droids as well.

Re: Are you using a screen protector?

For an unbreakable screen it sure does scratch easily.

Yes but if dropped it can chip.

Re:

It helps if you have maxed your phone's internal storage space. However, reading SD cards in general are slower than reading internal memory, and reading a large, almost full SD card will make your phone sluggish. Cloud storage for whatever you can IMO.

Do SD cards help speed up the phone?

Agreed. However there is no option or way to have soft touch paint on the sides of the phone like the OG Turbo, correct?

No. However, app disabling does. http://forums.androidcentral.com/motorola-droid-turbo-2/606255-apps-safe-disable-delete-droid-turbo-2-a.html#post4827576

Re: Anyone check out Moto voice?

Yeah. It has a mind of its own. Had to disable it.

Quite the reverse. SD cards are generally slower than internal storage and so having to read/write that area can slow down the functioning of the device. Generally that slowdown should be very minimal and perhaps even unnoticeable with the fastest SD cards.

Thanks I have a pny 90ms card.. Pretty fast I have seen that putting the windows animation scale to. 5 makes the phone extremely fast.

Helps to plead your case with Verizon about restocking fee

Hi folks. I has a Dt2 on one line... Not the one I have now... I returned that phone because it was defective... The headphone jack wouldn't register both sides. I canceled that line (long story)... The point is this dt2 is perfect and they wanted to charge me the restocking fee for the other one. I argued with them that with the unit being defective why should I pay it? They finally agreed.

Are those micro SD cards from the AC article considered some of the fastest? Im thinking about buying a 64 gb one

Re: Helps to plead your case with Verizon about restocking fee

Returning for a defect should never have that fee, lol. Glad they listened to reason. When people return devices, sometimes multiple times, because they don't like the color or want to try something else, yes... restocking fee the heck out of them. But when it's because of something where the device legitimately isn't right, that should be replaced.

Re: Helps to plead your case with Verizon about restocking fee

No question that there should not have been a restocking fee. Not for defective products. Good that you persisted.
