Ochowie posted:I hate to do this, but I might "rent" the N6 from Best Buy and see if it really is too big. My main concern is that the 6+ sticks out of the pocket of some of my jeans so the N6 might be way too big. The Moto stuff along with Moto Maker is what keeps pulling me towards the X. Just be wary of the battery life on the Moto X. It's absolutely nothing to write home about. It gets me though a full day (like from taking it off charge to when I go to bed), but sometimes just barely. Other than that it's a great phone.

SIR FAT JONY IVES posted:What's wrong with Google Photos? I agree it's a little clunky, but I'm amazed I can search for stuff like "photos of a bookcase" and it finds pictures of bookcases I took two years ago. My big gripe about Google Photos backups is that there's no dedicated place to go and see just photos that you had backed-up, nor is there a way to bulk download just those photos. When you go on the web you get your backup stuff plus any dumb thing you've ever posted to G+/Hangouts. Or rather I've never been able to find a way to do these things, maybe I'm dumb. On another note: I just got a new set of Sennheiser headphones that are SUPPOSED to be Android compatible but apparently whoops not so with the Moto X for some reason. Is there any way or app that anyone knows of to make a phone recognize a headphones in-line controls?

Happy Noodle Boy posted:Thanks for the suggestions, I ended going with the Moto X like everyone here recommended. So far it looks like a pretty awesome phone. Still setting it up and getting everything running but looks like it'll be perfect for work. As hooah said, you can disable them; go into Settings, Apps, All, and then go into each app you want to disable and choose 'disable'. I've got a Verizon 2014 X as well and you should be able to disable literally every Verizon app on the phone. The only two things you can't disable that you may want to are the stock Messaging app (in the event you decide to use another SMS app) and the stock Voicemail app (which is actually very good and I abandoned Google Voice for it). The X is a great phone, just a little weak on the battery side of things. It does charge pretty fast with even with just the included charger though, and faster still if you shell out for a Turbo charger.

Has anyone heard anything about the Verizon 2014 Moto X getting the advanced calling update? I find it really bizarre that it got Lollipop already but still hasn't got advanced calling, while the Turbo is the other way around.

ThermoPhysical posted:Still looking to replace my Nexus 4 and I have a question to those with the Moto X 2014. Is the lack of OIS a big deal with it? I may pick one up this February if I don't go with my original plan of a Nexus 5. If you care about the camera you'll probably want to avoid the X or at least really look into some sample shots from one. It's not a bad camera and probably better than the Nexus 4, but it won't wow anyone.

the milk machine posted:I really like the idea of a battery that could get me from waking up in the morning to going to sleep at night without needing to be plugged in, but the X really looks and feels nice. As for the camera, is the X noticeably worse? If you care about battery life go with the Turbo. The X's battery can get through a whole day for sure but A) it'll be close to death by then and B) might not make it if you're a heavy user. The camera on the X is fine but it's not anything game-changing. Oh and the X is already on Lollipop and it's stable. I haven't had any of the widespread Lollipop-related issues.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:This is probably a dumb question but are the Moto voice assist (ok moto x) and the same as the ok google or is it just a redundant poo poo that uses google anyways? Moto Voice can do some unique stuff on it's own (ask it "what's up" to get a reading of your pending notifications, or tell it "talk to me" to have incoming calls/SMS announced to you for a half-hour), and anything it can't handle natively it pipes to Google. The main advantage, however, is that Moto Voice is always-listening so it works even if the screen is off. If you turn off Moto Voice you lose that.

Endless Mike posted:When Apple first added the camera shortcut to the iOS lockscreen (iOS6?), it wasn't (and still isn't) immediately apparent how to use it, with the obvious thing being to tap the icon. Doing this just makes the bottom of the screen bounce a little as if it's saying "Hey, I'm under here! Swipe up for me!" which I always thought was cute. I actually just had to explain this to my mom. I was over at my parents place for a family thing and I saw that she kept unlocking the phone to take photos. I asked her why she wouldn't just use the camera lockscreen shortcut and she said "that never works". So I took the phone and swiped the camera icon up and she had this  moment before she goes, "I thought you were just supposed to tap it!"

bull3964 posted:The non-nexus updates are a bit harder to quantify because there's nothing that says the manufacturer couldn't have patched a memory leak issue while still keeping the version lower. Features and patches are back ported all the time. Moto may have fixed the leak for the Moto X2, because I've had 5.0 (not .01 or .02) since November and I have like zero issues with it in terms of redraws, app crashes, etc.

So Smart Lock Trusted Places has decided to stop working on my N7 out of the blue. Trusted Devices works fine but now it will not stay unlocked at my house no matter what I do. So far I've tried uninstalling updates from Play Services and reinstalling, reboots, turning Smart Lock off and then on again and redoing my trust place, and various combinations of those things. Does anyone have any other things to try before I give in and wipe this thing? It's on 5.0.2 and AFAIK Play Services is up-to-date.

Is there any way that I'm missing to have this include Google Hangouts video or voice calls? Nope, it's only for phone calls from the actual dialer app. Also I hate to be the bearer of bad news but: Don't get too attached to the feature. Assuming Moto pushes the same changes to the Turbo with Lollipop that they did with the Moto X, that feature will go away.

Waltzing Along posted:I used to have a S3. Now I have a Moto X 2014. I am happy, in general, with the change. There is one major feature that I miss from my old phone and I am hoping for some advice. Maybe I'm misunderstanding exactly what you're asking for, but I would say the vast majority of weather apps do this (auto-update weather based on location and show it via either a homescreen widget and/or a notification tray entry). I mean, off the top of my head I'd recommend Beautiful Widgets or Weather Timeline. Some apps require you to manually set them to auto-update though, so be sure to check that.

My buddy apparently just demolished his Droid Maxx screen. He doesn't have insurance through Verizon or whatever. He's not very technical/handy so I think him replacing the screen on it's own is out of the question. What are his options for getting the screen fixed? I don't think he's had the phone for a year yet, but probably more than 6 months.

nerve posted:Is there a consistent way to remove something like Google play music from the notification shade? It's sitting in there and I'm not listening to anything, but when I swipe right on it it just bounces back and stays. Won't let me do anything. I think notifications like that only go away if Android thinks they are idle so yeah, it's there unless there's no media playing. Once in awhile PocketCasts' notification won't get the memo that I stopped the media stream and the notification stays stuck there until I hit the pause/play button on the shade.

How much Verizon bloatware you get seems to depend on the phone. I have a 2014 Moto X and my brother has a Droid Turbo, and he has more bloatware than I do. The X has like 5 VZ apps on it and NFL Mobile while the Turbo had a number of other things. Disabled them all upon activation and it's been roses since.

Having photos go to a folder in your Drive account has always been my top want for Google's photo service simply because it makes it way, way easier to prune out those goofy photos. As soon as it went live on my account I say down at the PC where my poo poo syncs too and just went through the folder deleting all the dumb "hey guys look at this crazy thing" photos I had accumulated.

The Wonder Weapon posted:I just switched from a Galaxy S4 to an S6. On the S4, when I received a text message, the screen would wake up briefly. It was great for noticing new texts out of the corner of your eye. Now on the S6 the screen doesn't wake. All it does is flash the very small indicator light, which is trickier to notice. Is there a way to get the phone to wake to the lock screen when I receive a text? Is it because the default messenger app is currently Verizon Messenger? The default Samsung SMS app is so much uglier. I believe you can use LightFlow to wake the screen when you get a notification. Also if you want a pretty SMS app try Google Messenger.

Thermopyle posted:I finally got around to buying an iOttie car mount. How can I keep the screen of my 2013 Moto X on while I'm driving? Do you connect to a bluetooth device in your car? If so you should be able to use something like Llama to set your screen timeout to "never" when connected to BT device X. Other wise I think Android has a built-in setting in dev options to keep the screen on when it's on AC power, so you could check that and then just plug the phone in.

Moto Voice is kind of flaky. Like, often when I tell it "play SONG by ARTIST" it happily launches YouTube instead of Play Music. This is not very useful in the car, which it the main place I want to use Moto Voice. When I use Google's built-in voice stuff, though, it always gets it right.
