Moto X 2014?

Now that the Moto X 2013 has an option for 64gb, I am hopeful that the 2014 will too. Sadly, I am on Big Red, and I know there won't be a Dev edition for their network, and it is their own doing. I have the 2013 Droid Maxx, and turned it into a "Dev edition" by the use of a Chinese middleman and someone with a bootloader unlock code list. I won't go back to a locked device.

My girlfriend has the 2013 Moto X and loves it. I set her up with the T-Mobile $30 plan, and unlocked it for her so she can tether her 2013 Nexus 7. Sadly, whenever we go driving long distance, she loses her signal due to spotty coverage.

Coverage is the single reason I have stayed with Verizon. I can get a signal in most of the route between Las Vegas and Dallas. I still have the unlimited plan and enjoy making them see me use it to a great extent.

A 64gb customizable unlocked 2014 Moto X tempts me to leave Verizon for T-Mobile. I just don't know if it will be enough to make me leave when my 2013 Droid Maxx is unlocked and still amazing. :(

Anyone have any recommendations for something that's durable and cheap? I don't want to use my main phone when I'm out doing yard work or rugged projects with my hands. Dirt, grime, pebbled, etc fly into my pockets and I'm looking for a beater phone to use in those situations. Doesn't even have to be a smartphone, just any durable options people have?

The LG G2, really? I just looked it up quickly and it seems a bit pricy and like a nice phone to use as a beater. I could get a case and whatnot, but I feel like it's really nicely made and sleek looking - not something I'd want to scratch up and beat up doing labor and such. I'll look into it further though.. any reason you single this one out?
[General Topics] Stuart Little:
It has such good development on XDA which contains alot of ported/awesome roms.

The phone is beastly for what you pay.

Nothing better in it's price range from a known brand like Samsung and dislike OnePlus.

my new phone is the LG G3 finally was able to sell the note in March it was too big
[General Topics] GalaxyWhy:
I'm in the market for a tablet but all the tablets I see that are reasonabley priced and with good specs have 8" screens. Im specifically talking about the Xiaomi Mipad/ Nvidia Shield, which both have great K1 processors and aren't ridiculously priced, unlike the Samsung Tab Pro or Apple iPad Air.

I don't wanna go with the iPad Air because I prefer Android but I do like the 4:3 aspect ratio screen. I also don't particularly wanna go with Samsung either due to the physical buttons but the AMOLED screen is enticing.

So from reading that, what do you guys recommend? Any input is appreciated ?

EDIT:

Ive also been looking at the Chinese tablet market extensively and most from what I can tell are buggy, come with a bloated version of android and have little development scene (I'd wanna be able to root my tablet at the very least). But that's just what I've noticed.

I haven't been here for a while but anyway. At the moment, I'm in search for a new phone and can't decide between those five SGS4, Nexus 5, Moto X (2013), LG G2, HTC ONE M7. The price to all of them is the same, between £200 and £250. The only thing that I don't like is that Nexus 5, LG G2 and Moto X have horrible batteries while the SGS4 is lagging and HTC ONE M7 has sound issues.

So here is my question, which do you think is the best?

So it's looking like we're going to go with T-Mobile from Verizon. Now I just need to pick a phone.

I don't like some of the things I've read about the OnePlus One, so that's out for now. So it's down to these three: HTC One M8, Samsung Galaxy S 5 or LG G3. Any thoughts or input on these choices? Is there a better phone coming out in the next month?

The LG seems to have better specs, but the S5 has better reviews. And my first smartphone was an HTC, and it wasn't terrible, I do like the speaker setup and some of it's features. Choices, so hard to make!

Also, rooting is big for me. Which of these three would be best for rooting?

Why do you recommend the M8 over the S5 and the G3? The G3 seems to have better hardware specs and the S5 has better reviews overall. Just trying to understand is all.
[General Topics] Stuart Little:
Because you haven't read about the build quality and all the exclusive HTC M8 features and specials attached to the phone like the Boomsound speaker and Sense.

This phone is highly recommended for the people that prefer quality over little CPU like improvements.

Quality will make your purchase worth this days

What do you guys think off the ZTE Z7 max?

My first device was a ZTE skate a long time ago and I loved it. It even had official CM7. I think the Z7 has great specs for its price the only thing that it is missing is 1GB of ram IMO.

I really loved the Oneplus design and building quality, to bad it had the ghost touches and yellow tint. If it would not have had that it would have been the perfect phone for me. Now the thing is I got every cent refunded but I don't find a device that's as good as the oneplus for that money. I would have bought the OPPO Find 7 since it looks allot like the oneplus but it also seems to have ghost touches... :( LINK

So I have been looking at the ZTE Z7 max for a while now. Even tough it does not look as premium as the One plus I think its still a great phone almost all the specs are the same to.

+ Dualsim

+ Sd card slot

- 2GB ram

- No NFC (Who cares)

- No official Cyanogenmod 11 or MIUI.

Do you guys think it will get an XDA section and official CM11 and MIUI?
[General Topics] bayermunich:

[General Topics] marcusloke:
I am using the Nubia Z7 and max love it to the max (pun intended), they do not call it the ZTE in China, its like Toyota and Lexus :D

It has NFC, there are 2 contacts to the NFC antennas situated at the back of the case when you open it to access the sim slots and SD card.

I love the UI and its running great

My Antutu Benchmark score on it is 44518. I have all apps running, this includes the Nubia apps and have not disabled ANY pre installed apps. Perhaps it will perform greater, but I am too lazy to do so.

I had it rooted / SU and installed CWM recovery, using a standard modded Z7 max rom for installing gapps. I had a thread on this somewhere in the forums which is now [SOLVED] by a good member of this community.

Having the Chinese Anzhi Market installed and using their widgets, it definitely adds more charm to the on screen outlook of the z7 max.

I can go on and on about the great feeling this phone has brought me, but its a personal thing, you may not like it, or you may. I can say it certainly does not feel Cheap and it feels better than the S5.

With all this said, I bought mine in Shenzhen, China for CNY1,999 which is around US$330 (avoid getting them from resellers as the cost is higher)

Granted there is very little or no dev support for this device here on XDA, it is still okay for me, as I do not usually install roms or mods.

Even if I need to, I am not worried because there are thousands of dev available for this device in Chinese forums. Now this is a problem if one does not read Chinese (which I do), and THIS is definitely one of the major factors you need to consider if you play around with roms and stuff

---------- Post added at 04:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 PM ----------

It is actually very easy to get CM11 roms for Chinese phones nowadays like I mentioned.

Dev for Chinese phones in China actually outnumber any dev found here in XDA even for popular phones, as they have tens if not hundreds of thousands of developers on every single release of new phones over there. Only a necessity since they have hundreds of millions of Smartphone users itself in China.

The only problem is shifting through hundreds of forum threads to actually find what you like or need. And this is especially much more difficult if you do not read Chinese

Hi. I'm trying to find a dual sim android device that is actually dual sim full active.

Hello. I am new to this forum. Since 6 years I am a big Apple lover and few months ago I bought my first Android device. It's the Galaxy TabPRO 10.1 Wi-Fi. I have bought it just because an iPad with 64 GB was too expensive for me. But without CM it just useless for me. The changes Samsung does to their phones and tablets are horrible in my view. In short I will bust say my next phone will be again an iPhone or an Android phone that is fully supported by CM when I haven't enough money for an iOS device.
