do not buy a oneplus phone

Do Moto phones have the option to configure voice commands to send the text via my Google Voice account?

It annoys me to no end that Google Now will ONLY send it via my "regular" phone number, which I never use.

This is incredibly obnoxious to me too. It makes replying to a text with Android Wear useless because it always gets sent from the wrong number.

I wish there was a way to send hangouts message with the moto voice thing, since the majority of people I talk to online use it.

This app can do that (listen to texts handsfree i mean), even update your facebook and twitter handsfree. I used to have it on my old phone.

It's called StartTalking.

Mine shows up daily, but only when I park at work 10 feet in front of the main entrance.

Apparently it's been removed from the Play Store. Shame, that app was pretty great.

Speaking of Google Now, how do you tell it where home is? I just moved and it has a permanent card telling me I'm X minutes from my previous apartment. I can't find any obvious way to tell it where my new home is.

Is it supposed to be that Hangouts is immune to all notification changes??

It rarely turns the sound off if you do it in the settings, it completely ignores the no interruptions feature in Lollipop, and the only way to fix it all is to turn off notifications for the app in Settings.

Apparently the vibration sticking for every text message even while in a call is also an issue too. People have been complaining about that for a while but nothing has been fixed

Anyone else using SwiftKey on Lollipop and having an issue where randomly flow stops working unitl you send a message or toggle keyboards? It's happening fairly regularly. I kind of assumed/hoped it was just a Nexus 5 bug, but now it's happening on my brand new Moto X ever since it updated last night.

I posted this two weeks ago, and I'm still having the issue. Am I going crazy? Is anyone else having it? I've had it on both a new Moto X and my old Nexus 5.

Alternatively, does anyone know if it's possible to have Swype work in the same layout as Swiftkey? I tried to switch once, but the layout of the keys was the one thing that stopped me from moving over. Specifically punctuation, if I remember.

The only problem with my Motorola is that they removed the quick disable of driving mode from the notification shade. So now my phone constantly talks about incoming texts while I am on the bus.

I'm not on Lollipop, but my Hangouts is a little screwy as well. When I use the volume rocker to change my ringtone (usually between vibrate all and silent), it treats the opened Hangouts app like I'm in a phone call; it brings up the "in-call volume" slider. It can be in a hangouts message or at the main Hangouts screen. I have to back out to homescreen to change volume. I don't have a Hangouts dialer installed, so I don't know why it's doing this.

Psst... make sure the notification isn't collapsed.

My old HTC Desire had an option to mute the ringtone/alarm when I picked up the phone. Is this a feature in stock Android or CM? I haven't been able to find anywhere so far. If not, any way to hack that back in?

I got a Samsung Galaxy S5 this week. I am upgrading from a 2013 Moto X. The only thing I miss about my Moto X is the active display. I wish I could get that on the S5. I've tried the app AcDisplay, but that doesn't seem to work well, it's inconsistent in what it will actually display.

The notification is still there, it just doesn't have the "I'm not driving" thing anymore. Not sure what you mean by collapsed. If I click on the notification it just launches assist.

Google Voice and a time machine. Other than that, I'm not sure about anything that will put it in a common format. I think there used to be things that would allow you to back them up and import to a new phone but I think they use proprietary formats assuming they even still exist.

I believe android expands the top notification and collapses any under it. Do you have some sort of persistent notification that's always at the top?

Can someone point out to me what music player is used in this "theme"? I'm assuming those aren't the player's default icons, but are as a result of the icon set that's mentioned. I have a Oneplus One, and the only music player that came with it is Google Play Music. It looks rather... bad by default, and I don't think it can be customized to be prettier. The description says Zooper Pro was used for the music player, but I can't find any "built-in" music player in Zooper Pro.

I use Stopwatch and Timer+ regularly, but recently it's lost audible alarms. The device still vibrates but beyond that no sound. Weird thing is it's behaving the same way on my tablet as it is my phone.
Has anyone else had this happen?
Am I an idiot and am overlooking something?

After upgrading to Lollipop I had to stop using Gentle Alarm as the volume was so low, I didn't hear it at all, even after trying to reset all volume settings. Now I just use the standard watch app :(
Not an answer you can use, but it might be the same problem both apps are facing.

Doesn't Zooper allow like custom widgets? All that probably is, is a custom widget attached to Google Play Music/Shuttle+/Poweramp etc.

Fuckin' Google Now. For weeks it's been ignoring tracking numbers. So I finally get that Deliveries app and pony up my google credit for the pro version. Get it all set up. Couple hours later, I open Now. Well guess what decided to start tracking packages again.

Don't worry, your tracked packages will just vanish from Google Now again and you'll be thankful you bought something that actually works properly.

I'd be willing to bet money that you're right - just under $2, to be specific. :downsrim:

Deliveries Package Tracker is actually a really good app and worth the money to remove the ads and gain "pro" features (like online syncing).
