Forget 4.4.1, 4.4.2 is the new hotness. http://www.droid-life.com/2013/12/09/android-4-4-2-apparently-rolling-out/ Let's see if we can get triple 4s before the end of the year.

SB35 posted:So I guess it doesn't work perfectly on the N5. Does anyone have it installed on the N5? Does it work at all? Works well enough for me. That said, I haven't had it on a phone that does have a plug-in to compare, but I definitely feel I've gotten my few dollars worth already.

Works fine on my N5. I think people aren't manually doing the settings for Lux, because it seems to go nuts if it doesn't know your preferences. I read the description of the Galaxy and Nexus 4 plugins and it says the phones need to be rooted. Why would it need that?

This is a really specific question. I just got a Moto X, and when I sync it to my car over Bluetooth, audio plays fine, but it doesn't let me browse music files through the car. The only phone that's given me a list of stuff like that is a friend's iPhone 4S that I tried out. I'm assuming this is on the car's end (a 2014 Mazda with their newer touchscreen system), but is there anything with the phone I can try to enable something like that? I get all the file lists if I connect over USB, so there's always that I guess....

Does anyone want a google glass invitation? I got an email saying I've got some to give away. You've just gotta commit to buy it within 14 days & be in the US. Just PM if interested.

Super Dude posted:Are they still $1500? Do you think it's worth the price you paid? Yes they are (plus tax). It depends on how integrated technology is in your life. In my case, I'm the only one who likes technology or uses it (and I'm old) so I only got to use them a couple days a week. I think they're great but $1650 great....I don't think I could justify it. I'm actually in the process of sending them back.

The Verge says after the new camera update that the Nexus 5 is one of the best Android phones. It's good to see the problems were mostly with the software and can be fixed. I'm still waiting for the update to show up.

Been waiting for the 4.4.1 update on my N5 still, let alone 4.4.2. Too lazy to ADB side load, plus I want to actually experience an OTA update, as I typically flashed in the past.

I just installed 4.4.2 on my N5 and the camera is much much faster. The camera was the only thing hampering my enjoyment of this phone, and that problem has been totally fixed.

Apparently, there's a bug with the Moto X and AIO Wireless that has it so the phone doesn't play nice with AIO Wireless' APN settings. Bascially, the phone has to reboot every day if you leave it on WiFi as it will lose cellular signal: Someone on XDA looked into it after he was having issues with his phone after updating to 4.4 on his Moto X. He brought it up on G+ and someone who works for Motorola came back with this: Kirk Stromberg posted:+Chad Mueller +Matt Jones +Eric Christensen https://plus.google.com/+ChadMueller/posts/CFrocos9gGZ The thread in question that Motorola is watching: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2526723 Apparently none of this happened on Jelly Bean Moto X, just Kit Kat. Didn't know GSM phones could chose what carrier to actually support down to the APN settings...huh. ThermoPhysical fucked around with this message at 04:47 on Dec 10, 2013 |

After watching this thread for a while, I bought a Moto X as my first Android phone. My previous three smartphones were all work-provided IPhones. Out of the box, the Moto X was the best phone I've used in years. I had no complaints: all the basic stuff worked great, and the touchless controls are very cool. The only thing I didn't like from the start is that "Driving Mode" disables Bluetooth completely. It's great for people without Bluetooth in their cars, but it'd be nice if it could read texts and the other driving mode interactions over Bluetooth audio. The 4.4 update, however, has hurt it badly for me. Things that worked and now don't: -Email client while synced to an Exchange 2010 server. It has crashed at least 5x now since updating. Zero crashes before that. In addition, it will often stop displaying new email in the inbox until I quit the app and restart it. Gmail continues to work fine. -Voicemail indicator. It has been notifying me of "new" voicemails steadily going back in time. Every time I delete them I get more notifications a few hours later. I'm back to deleting voicemails from August at this point. -Bluetooth. It has stopped reliably pairing with my truck. It now pairs only about 20% of the time. So instead of coming in here and giving it my wholehearted endorsement as an awesome phone, all I can say is meh. Very frustrating to have it regress. Hopefully they get some smaller updates out the door quickly -- I see the voicemail issue is addressed in those 4.4.2 change notes for the N4/N5.

Motorola's literature seems to indicate that Driving Mode utilizes Bluetooth: quote:If the device is paired and connected to a Bluetooth device, Assist will yield to the BT device to handle incoming phone calls. You should use the BT device’s built-in call announce feature (if available) to handle incoming calls if you BT device supports this feature.

Yeah, unless it's something introduced in 4.4, which my Maxx doesn't have yet, driving mode and bluetooth work just fine. I use both every day without a problem, and everything with driving mode works, like the call/text announcement.

Does anyone else have pretty bad reception with the N5? Where my Samsung Galaxy S II managed H/3G indoors my N5 struggles to get Edge, sometimes even only GPRS. Outside it's better, but still worse than before. European bands if that's any difference.

I got my Moto X in the mail tonight. Some initial pains trying to get my Google Play account working with the device aside, I'm absolutely floored. I haven't had this much fun with playing with a new toy in... forever, really. Even past the "new phone" enjoyment, this thing truly is a cut above. The screen, despite being "only" 720p, looks fantastic. I think I can see where pixels start and end if I look really really close at the letters, but honestly when using the phone normally it looks perfect. Also, the speaker is nice and loud, while still having a great sound to it. Huge thanks to everyone who recommended the Moto X here. Now all I need is Kitkat...

For those with the Moto X (specifically on Sprint, or still running 4.2.2): Does anyone have issues with "Android OS" using up a shitload of battery (anywhere between 20-40%)? I don't know why, but this started a few days ago. An initial Google search tells me that it's something with Wi-Fi and a kworker process, however, I've always kept my Wi-Fi on and "Android OS" never drained that much battery. It's only cropped up within the past few days (and I've owned my Moto X for a few weeks now). I'm trying to figure out which apps I've installed recently that could be doing this but, I'm stumped. Anyone have this problem as well, or know how to fix it? Thanks!

My RMA N5 finally came, and all issues are fixed, I'm so happy! If you have any issues like I did (I reported the wobbly power button and got an instant RMA), contact them and get a replacement! -power button is not wobbly, very firm -no more stuck pixel! -no more wonky radio issues! -vibration motor must have been hosed on my old one, because this new one is way quicker and stronger Google Support was insanely helpful with this, that was my only experience with them so far and they were awesome. UPS can go gently caress themselves though.

I'm having a whole hell of a lot of trouble getting my USB tether to work properly. It seems like it only works when USB debugging is turned on, and it keeps freezing up for no apparent reason. Like, network connections will flat out not refresh for a good 3 minutes and then it'll start working again for a few seconds and then it stops working again. Using Windows 8 and a Nexus 5.

Okay, it seems to be working now. I still need USB debugging on, though. Fixed it by changing my APN protocol to IPv4. Seriously though, why should I need USB debugging on? Makes no sense. Oh well.

My Moto X works great as intended. Bluetooth works fine in driving mode. I just need something to change my volume settings for me since I have my phone on vibrate most of the time, and I want to be able to hear texts being read to me in the car.Segmentation Fault posted:Moto X chat: I know I'm over a month late on this, but I just got and watched their Windy Day demo, and I have to say, that was absolutely cool.

Just make sure you have plenty of room to move around to keep the camera focused on the action.
