We are incredibly behind on shipping so the best thing to do is to try to sell more

That's okay, guys, they admitted messing up (twice.) Certainly a company I'd love to fork money over to, assuming they'd let me sometime in the next year.

What is their rationale for the invite system? Why would someone jump through all these bullshit hoops to buy one particular phone when they could get any one of a number of other phones of similar quality for a similar price being sold by normal people?

They've apologized for stuff before and this time they only apologized for not having inventory ready when they thought they would, not for quality control issues or poor customer support or for misjudging the features people actually want

Syrinxx posted:Seems like a dumb marketing thing. It builds a false sense of excitement and camaraderie - see also the retards who camp out in front of the Apple store to buy a phone they produced 300 million of. It is a simple way to control inventory I guess. They can't afford to have warehouses full of not purchased phones. Also generates hype for practically free. But it makes it hard for customers that actually want to buy the phone to do so as bots grab up the widely distributed codes and scalpers end up reselling codes or purchased phones for a mark up Invite codes also let the company suggest that women send then pix in exchange for an invite

How does the wood feel on those Moto X's? I have a feeling I'd go for the silicone if I were ever to get one, but I also care much more about feel than look. After feeling the G4's leather yesterday, I definitely don't want to trust that any certain material will feel good anymore.

No, it's fine, they specifically reminded women who wanted to entered to keep their clothes on. Because that's a thing you have to remind women to do, you know. And then it's fine, because that's tasteful.

Wish it had NFC with Pay coming out but the battery has never giving me anything but a full day and the camera is surprisingly good. Only issue I have is that I wish the back was flat so it wouldn't rock when you put it on the table and then trigger the camera by the rocking motion.

Bamboo feels all right, it's got a smooth-but-matte finish, though if you run a fingernail over it you'll be able to feel the grain.

I have a moto g coming in the mail soon since my z3c took a header onto the pavement cause of my dog  I hope that it's not too noticeable of a downgrade. TBH I wasn't the biggest fan of the z3c - it was a fine phone but it was pretty upsetting to have the backglass just spontaneously crack after I set it down on my coffee table. And the flaps for the charging port were annoying 50% of the time when I didn't have access to my dock. Anyone have suggestions on what to do with my z3c now? I can't decide if I should send it to sony for repair and keep it, try and sell it, or just recycle it. e: top half of the screen doesn't respond to touch and has a crack on the bottom. Backglass has a hairline crack as well Mr Newsman fucked around with this message at 17:40 on Sep 11, 2015 |

Does anybody else hear their speaker popping on their 2015 X Pure? It seems to happen every time an audio clip finishes playing (just a tiny popping sound when the audio clip finishes), which is really annoying for things like notification sounds. It doesn't seem to be affected by volume or anything, either.

I'm thinking of getting one of the new Motorola phones because I don't really see the value in paying $700 for a phone any more. How well does the SD card integrate with the internal memory? Are you able to move pictures/music/apps over to the card at will? I haven't used an Android since a Galaxy S3 a few years ago, and I remember it being kind of finicky back then.

You'll be happy but it is tough getting used to the bigger size. Reaching the top left corner for some menus makes me wish Android would steal the double tap thing from Apple

I think I've made a dumb mistake. I just wiped my phone (Moto G 2014) after it started messing up, and when restarting, it tries to connect to google servers for the set up. Problem is, I'm vacationing in China right now and can't access anything google without VPN, so my phone is now stuck in the setup screen.Schlitzkrieg Bop posted:How well does the SD card integrate with the internal memory?

Just curious here, did Moto use a new/different vibration motor in the Pure? Their vibration modules, at least in the X and Nexus 6 were hilariously terrible. The entire phone sounded like it was going to fall apart with rattling while Samsung's vibration is precise and solid.

My personal Nexus 6 has the lovely vibration motor, but the two other Nexus 6s we have here for work are perfectly fine  I think it's a known manufacturing defect that's not bad enough for most people to RMA the device.

I'm in love with how subtle the haptic feedback vibration is, though. Just enough to let you know it registered, enough to not feel like mush, but not a big ol' zap like my N5 (when the motor in that thing wasn't jammed at least. It would randomly stop vibrating - for anything, and at some point I found out that tapping on the back of the phone brought vibration back. My girlfriend's N5 showed up with no vibration function whatsoever but she never liked the feedback anyway so it didn't get returned.)
