Note the X doesn't have an SD card slot, but that is what :yayclod: is for. It's a very nice phone and worth the extra cash.

That is an awesome price, unfortunately I live in Europe and can't find one at the same price. The only reason I wanted a phone with an SD card slot, was because I already have a SD card that I would still like to use. Otherwise not really that important.

The Moto X is also a crapshoot when it comes to compatibility with European LTE bands, to say the least.

Should it even be physically possible for a device doing literally nothing to lose 22% battery per day? This is a Sprint Moto X on airplane mode with wifi off during deep sleep (not my primary device), and only Nova Launcher installed. I literally only use this device to listen to music in the shower once in a while.

My galaxy s which burnt through its battery in eight hours normally managed to get five days life per charge when I was holidaying in America and had all data off (except when on hotel WiFi). And that was with taking photos with it on a regular basis (took about five hundred or so).

Dear diary, I got another erection today at work. SO embarrassing, but kinda hot. The CO asked me to fix up his dress uniform. I had stayed late at work to move his badges 1/8" to the left and pointed it out this morning. 1SG spanked me while the CO watched, once they caught it. Tomorrow I get to start all over again...

Jesus, my Verizon X does the same thing. No sim card, on airplane mode, dedicated spotify player for running. Loses like 30% a day. I don't get it.

Google voice search says it "can't access microphone" when I try to train it to work from any screen. Is that because it's superseded by Moto Voice (which I've already set up) or is it a problem?

Pack it up boys, we have a new android.txt on our hands.

Edit for content. Check the root thread as mentioned below. Or, if you are up to it, XDA is usually willing to bail people out. Basically you are going to have to reformat it with a stock OS image. Godspeed.

And now you know what you're getting in bed with when you use CyanogenMod. At least learn how to CJ your phone yourself. The Rooted thread can help.

Alternately, get something with a stock ROM that's bearable, like a Nexus, Moto, Sony, or at least something that isn't years old. The time you save not CJing is worth more than the money you saved on that phone. You can even still root it if you want. Probably.

Congratulations, you've gotten yourself into more hours of fixing your device because you didn't read. Perhaps consult a guide or forum thread before modifying device firmware.

You can get an unlocked Developer Edition 2013 Moto X for $200 off of eBay. Since you're the in the UK, I don't know if that device will work for you or if it's available for you to buy.

Edit: Holy poo poo, a page I didn't know existed! Oh well, to make this worthwhile:

Stroll Own Zone.
Disregard Stroll outside zone.
Hoping someone can confirm what I think i already know

Galaxy S3, 2years1mo old, stock no root.

Randomly reset itself last week (which I assume at this point was the auto upgrade to 4.3 but did not realise at the time)
Sat at black screen for an hour, I reset it and it booted to a fresh factory reset.
Updated to 4.3 fine, but a lot of apps where crashing and poo poo. Factory reset it again.. and again to no change.

At this point google.keyboard and google.com apps crash constantly (and the keyboard is slow to use) and apps I own off the app store are coming up with error -24. If they DO install it will tell me that there are "conflicting uid's" and should stop stealing apps or something and it will uninstall them on me.
All this sucks and all, but it seems to run fine except audio is skippy as gently caress, in multiple apps.

She hosed?

And.... is the Sony Z3 compact prone to problems? People on local forums are complaining about problems with them just ceasing to work overnight, and having sony australia not replacing anything and sending them to repairers even if they arrive broken?
I'll buy it through a carrier so I wont have to deal with sony at all atleast.

Is there a decent hard/shock case for it?

Sense has knock to wake and I guess he has his phone go straight to dialer or something.

I'm dubious of the veracity of the 911 thing, but he could have just disabled knocking or enabled lockscreen security so his thigh didn't unlock his phone.

My M7 doesn't have that. Are you sure it does? And even if it did, it would be easily disabled.

So, Google may be trying to acquire the payment system formally known as Isis (Softcard).

http://www.androidcentral.com/google-reportedly-talks-acquire-mobile-payments-company-softcard

So, after all that war, it goes out with a whimper. Really though, this is just a tacit acknowledgment that Apple Pay has won.

A year ago, ISIS and Amex were offering to pay you up to $100 in statement credits to use their service. It was clearly dead on the vine even then, 9 months before Apple Pay.

If the service was actually going to make people's lives easier, you wouldn't have to pay them a C-note to induce them to use it.

It was a service that was built to serve the carriers and credit card issuers first, users and merchants second. So clearly it's a no brainer that users and merchants wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.

You're quite good at turning me on.

Starting to see reports of the back cover of the Nexus 6 coming off because of weak glue or expanding batteries. Then I checked mine which I got on Wednesday and the cover on the left side edge is slightly higher than on the right (which is flush with the frame), HOW PARANOID SHOULD I BE?!?!?!

I don't see anything useful in the facebook app, calendar app or the accounts section, and googling it just leads me to people manually exporting poo poo into the google calendar or 3rd party apps.
