That is really drat cool. I need to start taking more pictures and video. I've never really bothered because I'm less than creative when it comes to editing but if Google is going to do it for me than it's win win.

I guess i shoulda said it did not do the slow motion. That was how it was filmed (on an S4). But it is interesting it did slow motion and then ended with a regular speed video.

If you have taken the recent OTA that went out in the last week or two, the app will work for the Droid Maxx too. Just go search for Motorola Camera in the store.

Well indeed it was already installed, I didn't notice it doing that after the OTA. I only remember signing up for the 50GB Google Drive promo. Thanks!

Does the S4 have done sorry it stabilization out us the ruling shutter just terrible on it? There's all sorts of spatial distortion in the normal speed shots on that video.

Just got off the phone with AT&T. I honestly complained a bunch in a survey, and they called and offered me a free Moto X if I renew my contract. My contract just turned over a couple months ago, so it's not a big loss to re-up.

I went ahead and bought one. My S3's touch screen issues are just getting too annoying. Besides, I can probably unload it easily for the $129.99 (32GB - $50 + $30 activation) I paid for the X.

And since I'm a born and bred Michigan fan, had to go with the Navy/Yellow.

Tried to make a badass Red Wings colored one, not super excited with the results, but white front/red back looks ok.

I need some better clarification on this auto awesome video stuff- It edits in all of the cuts, fades, music, - everything? You just filmed a clip or two, and that was it? You didn't edit a whole video, and then Google merely added some filters and music?

Yes. I didn't even tell it to make a video. It just popped up and said hey, we took this poo poo and made a video, if you like it you can save it.

For me, Auto Awesome Video made it's own video out of pictures and videos. It adds in music, fades, cuts, etc and moves things around. Sometimes, somehow, it manages to do things to the beat of the music.

I do remember I had to edit one because a clip had a picture of my mom's bank information (don't know why she took a picture of that...). But it was easy to edit out.

Mine made a really cute video of my two year old doing a dinosaur walk in time with some 20's ragtime music. It's really genius or coincidental that it matched the music up with the cuts and his motion.

Digging it anyway. I tried the new launcher on my Moto X, but with the small screen, the big icons actually look rather weird so I uninstalled it for now.

How is the X? I have one coming and I want to test it, but I realized my the sim it takes is different than my N5 and I'll have to go to a store to exchange sims. I've had the 5, and I like it, but I'm really interested in the X active notification features.

Just a reminder for people not wanting to wait for the OTA and don't mind getting their hands dirty; You can no-wipe flash bits of these for the same effect as an OTA. (assuming you unlocked your bootloader already)

- unpack the tgz
- unpack the next thing I don't remember the file extension of
-- this should leave you with various .img files, put them in your adb/fastboot folder on your computer
-- put the phone into bootloader mode
-- using fastboot flash each image except userdata.
--- eg 'fastboot flash [partition] [filename]
--- eg 'fastboot flash system system.img'


Holy poo poo that's the long way around. Just use the -w flag in the flash-all bat. Read me for nerd poo poo.

Or you could wait for the OTA like a non crazy person.

Where does fastboot need to be for the flash-all batch script to run? I have adb and fastboot in the same folder as the extracted contents, but the command line just says that fastboot isn't a recognized command.

Edit: Well, I tried not running it as an administrator and it seems to be going fine. Also, I forgot that it needs to be in bootloader mode.

I traded my S4 for the X to use as a backup phone once I got my N5 in case I had some ROM troubles. I like it so much I cancelled my N5 order and have no plans on getting anything until this thing starts to feel old in the tooth. This is the best phone I've had (albeit all I've had is every iPhone ever, then a S3 and S4).

I went from the GNex to the MAXX, and it's been almost two days since I took it off the charger, and it's at 33%. For shits and giggles I got another extended battery for the nexus free after rebate just to see if I could breathe some new life into it. Nope. Drains faster than ever even after 2-3 discharge cycles. The gently caress is wrong with that phone?

That's a side effect of the marijuana poisoning.
I have a very specific case request for the htc one. I've just had it returned from its speaker repair and although it may not be the cause, the speakers were full of iron fillings before I sent it off and I'm trying to stop it happening again. I work with metal so they tend to get everywhere, is there some kind of case I can put it in for work that covers up the speakers, I'm thinking a waterproof one or something. I don't care how good or bad the case is since I don't really use my phone at work. I've searched and searched and found nothing that will work. It currently sits in a ziplock bag all day.

Get a plain case and glue some magnets to it so the iron sticks to those instead of going in your phone.

I don't want to turn it off necessarily but I just want to make sure that it's not going to start like automatically putting these videos on my twitter or something.

Google now picks up when you commonly leave work. So i normally leave at 5:30. If traffic is 7 minutes backed up ill get a message around 5:20 letting me know the extra time its gonna take to get home.
