Are all Moto X models pentaband? As in do the AT&T/T-Mobile/Dev Edition run the same bands (assuming carrier bands are unlocked). Does the Dev Edition contain more bands than say, the AT&T or T-Mobile version or they all the same hardware? I can't seem to locate this info online. Edit: This sheds some light and suggests the Dev Edition is the only one with every GSM band. I wish every phone just contained every band, no? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moto_X hotsauce fucked around with this message at 08:08 on Nov 20, 2013 |

All aboard the Moto X train. Got mine from Republic Wireless today and it's pretty awesome. Everything just works well, including Google Voice integration/voicemail forwarding. Sprint speeds (yeah, I know) seem to be decent in my area - and for $25/month (on wifi a lot) it makes a lot of sense. Don't miss the Nexus 5 or HTC One at all so far. Very happy with this phone and cheap service. 29 more days to decide but for now, Republic Wireless and the X are pretty drat impressive. Even that silly windy day that appeared was creative and fun. I'm pretty shocked about the entire experience thus far. This may be the only Android phone that will pull my wife away from her iPhone. I'm going to try at least (and put her on Republic Wireless to save a lot each month).

Combat Pretzel posted:hotsauce having ADHD again. Why am I not surprised. Counting the days until he has another Nexus 5. Haha, nah. I genuinely wasn't impressed with the N5. Besides, if I commit to Republic, I'll be in CDMA hell. But for the price and the ability to tether via wifi to my work iPad while in the boonies, I may be okay with that. I could even get my bill down to $5/month since I always have my iPad with me. That's nuts.

IuniusBrutus posted:What is the best way to get a Moto X on T-Mobile prepaid? Do I have to pay the $600 or whatever the gently caress for a developer edition? Swappa, eBay, local or buy a Dev edition from Moto? Oddly enough, Swappa listings for the Dev edition and T-Mo have all but stopped and new listings are very expensive. 3 weeks ago, you could get a barely used Dev edition for $420 - $470. Now there are hardly any listings and when there are, they are expensive. Supply and demand. There aren't a lot of Moto X sellers. There are a ton of Nexus 5's on Swappa. Yes, I crowbared a Nexus 5 into this post, only to make a point about how great the X is. Anecdotal? Yes. But it suggests something interesting to me about the X. hotsauce fucked around with this message at 06:01 on Nov 23, 2013 |

Loucks posted:I usually have 10-20 Chrome tabs open on my S4, but that's just because there's no incentive to close them. Any unlocked GSM phone or branded T-Mobile phone qualifies just fine on the $30 plan. Pop in the SIM and go. They don't care where you purchased the phone as long as the IMEI isn't blocked for some reason (theft, etc).

The Verizon MAXX on AT&T/T-Mobile is tempting just for the battery and X internals alone. I just went with the Dev X. Might as well have LTE I guess. The X's battery is really fine for me. 24 hrs with normal use is more than most would expect from a phone.

I paid full retail for the Dev Edition + Moto Care (3 replacements for a small fee if I break it) and it wasn't cheap. But better than F5'ing all morning only to be disappointed on Cyber Monday. The X is awesome, and if you can snag a Dev edition for $399, that's the steal of the century (that is, if the Nexus 5 isn't your fancy, of course). The N5 wasn't all that IMO. The X just makes sense.

Does anyone know if there is any way I get pictures off of it? Not being a jerk here, but I'd suggest it's time to turn on Google+ photo auto upload (or Dropbox) when you get a new phone. Unless you are one of those cloud NSA fear types. My phone could be destroyed any minute and I would have lost exactly nothing. Hope you find a solution, but I think you may be out of luck.

FogHelmut posted:I emailed Motorola last week to see if they would refund me $150 since I had just bought a Moto X and was within the return period. Why shouldn't I just return the one I bought and get a cheaper one today. They never responded. I guess they knew I wouldn't be able to get one anyway. I chatted with them last night via MotoCare on my phone and the agent essentially told me the only way to get the $399 price is to return a perfectly good phone (under the 14-day window) and order a new one. Seems ridiculous, but they aren't budging. If I can get a $399 Dev one today, that's what I'll do. $150 is $150 and Moto will have a perfectly good RMA'd phone on their hands. Strange. If they tossed me a small coupon for accessories, I'd shut up about it. RMA it is I guess (if the website ever works). Just got the phone on Saturday.

I never do the restore on a new device. Don't need my phone downloading KidZone and other poo poo that I absolutely don't want, ever. I use it as an opportunity to clean house and re-install stuff I go to use but realize isn't there. That's how you find apps that matter, IMO.

That microUSB coming out of the top would trigger  But it does look to be a great idea. I'm surprised there isn't a real, non-janky OEM solution (mass-produced) for a Qi car charger. It's confusing. I know, market share of Qi devices, but theres gold in them hills for a major company to do it right and not charge $99. If a clean solution landed on the market from, say, Moto (they do have non-X Qi phones) for like $49, they would sell a boatload of them. Owl as an option, but I'd prefer a major OEM, personally. hotsauce fucked around with this message at 05:16 on Dec 8, 2013 |

Not surprised. Moto's e-commerce system is a nightmare. Hope it works out for you. In all transparency, I got the code from our favorite site, XDA. So it's technically thirdhand, so I'm not sure if that's why it's flagged. Wouldn't see why as it was never used, but there's my disclaimer. I wanted to use it for my wife, but she is all about the iPhone. My sales pitch failed.

Apparently it's magnetized so you can use these stick on lenses.  Speaker magnet? And I thought the Nexus 5 "all the lenses will stick it was designed for this" was some internet created thing and not real? Sure they may stick, but Google didn't design the phone for that specific purpose.

CLAM DOWN posted:Geez, I didn't ask for an RMA, I was just emailing them to ask if this was a problem or a known issue. They gave the RMA without me even hinting at one, and I wasn't expecting one. The first support email reply to my inquiry included the RMA link and shipping labels. Maybe tell Google they shouldn't be so generous or something? I wasn't referring to you specifically, just in general trying to say Nexus 5's aren't shipping in a "broken" state. Issues always happen, but I'd be willing to bet the Google person you spoke with had been put through the XDA "YOU SOLD ME A DEFECTIVE PHONE MY BUTTON WIGGLES RMA NOW" ringer. He/she probably just proactively offered the RMA to avoid a back and forth debate.

It also announces who is calling and lets you answer the call with a voice command, and auto detects when you're driving so you don't have to do anything special. It really has come in handy in lovely Michigan winter weather. All this gadgetry is making me want to port out of Google Voice so I can enjoy all the touchless features  Just wish GV+Hangout integration was here already. Silence is deafening.

If not then all I can say is welp. There is nothing sealed about the HTC One when it comes to water. Unless you have a Sony, water instantly gets into every crevice of the phone and most likely shorts it the gently caress out.
