[Moto X General] Psilocin:
All Moto did was out together an almost bare bones stock phone and focus on what really matters and has high impact for most people. Granted, the motoX may not be for everyone, depending on whether they prefer a larger screen or perform heavier tasks that may be better handled with a quadcore cpu. But for the majority, motoX is about as clean as it gets to being pure stock Android without bloaty oem launchers or UI tweaks. It comes with just a few custom moto apps that people will actually use more than once compared to the gimmicky features that come. Things like gif creators or nfc bump file transfers are of no use to me. But something like active notifications and moto assist is something going I and most others can use everyday.

So to answer your question, spec race isn't over yet, but I think there will be rush from Samsung and HTC to try to close the gap and duplicate the moto apps. There definitely will be an increased emphasis on user experience from here on out as consumers start to realize that cutting edge specs doesn't always translate to best experience.
[Moto X General] eallan:
Truth be told the Moto X isn’t stock, it just has the stock UI on top of a relatively standard Motorola software build, but it does have a heck of a lot less of the operator preload crapware that normally shows up on Android phones sold with a subsidy these days.

[Moto X General] gammite:
this is the same conversation that happened with computers and clock speed/cores a few years ago. more cores and higher clock speeds come to a point of diminishing returns and optimization is necessary to grow performance at that point.
[Moto X General] I Am Marino:
This won't stop the spec race.

When OEMs realize price is what will win the "war", not specs, we'll finally get somewhere.
[Moto X General] christophermdiaz:
Maybe its just me, but I dont get what people are doing with their phones that they need such high spec'ed devices. When I look at a device I look for snapiness, response, and overall usability. Most phones achieve this by optimizing their custom software on the device. Its not about the specs people, its about how you make the software to interact with the device specs. I love my Moto X, as a matter of fact, I took back my S4 Active for it. S4 active is so full of bloatware, it reminds me of my mothers computer everytie she asks me to fix it, it has at least 6-7 toolbars in IE, and you can barely search anything. Some options are great on devices like the S4, but when you stick to simplicity, things work way better. My Moto X has been invaluable to me so far in terms of battery life, and touchless controls. Yes I use them, while driving. Convenient and safe for me and my family.

Just my 2 cents...
[Moto X General] _MetalHead_:
Coming from the S4 Active and the HTC One before that I can honestly say that this is the best Android phone I've ever used. It is every bit as fast as those two, if not faster, but even smoother with absolutely zero lag. Couple the amazing performance with the perfect physical design and you've got the Android phone that all others aspired to be but fell short. Screw the spec war, what Motorola did with this phone is nothing short of outstanding. I feel like this is the smart phone I've always wanted. Now if only I can get this crappy battery life figured out...
[Moto X General] Simer03:
Even if u put 8 cores (which they're doing) on a touchwiz phone, its still gonna be laggy in some areas! I had the One before this phone and that was much better but still had some hiccups! To my surprise, I haven't experienced any hiccups on the X yet but obviously having stock android helps a lot! Not a lot of the ram is being used up and correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't this phone use Motorola's new x8 core structure which is really awesome!

[Moto X General] graffixnyc:
I think it compares to 'higher' end devices just fine. People are knocking it saying it's last year's specs but there was an article I read about the whole S4 pro/600 and there was a guy who is very knowledgeable when it comes to CPU's and he even said he is confused as to what makes a 600 a 600 and what makes a pro a pro. He said they are basically exactly the same from an architecture stand point. He even stated he thinks what makes a 600 a 600 and a pro a pro is the clock speed. I have the HTC One, the X and the Oppo Find 5. I'm pleasantly surprised how well the X runs. This phone is no slouch and I wouldn't consider it a mid range device. (I did consider it one before I owned one) don't get me wrong I still love my HTC one, I also love my find 5 but my X is my new love so she has been getting all the attention lately. Hehe
[Moto X General] dexwaggles:
I recently sold my HTC one, and plan on returning my droid maxx once the moto x arrives. I love the way the x feels in hand. I'm going to miss the battery on the max though.

I think the processor is underrated and think motorola put out a great lone of phones this year and it will only lead to better phones in the future
[Moto X General] tcb4:
The only time I could see this phone falling behind is if apps begin to fully utilize four cores, but to be honest, I'd take 2 high power cores over 4 low power cores any day. Sadly, the cores in the X aren't anything over the top and probably wouldn't out perform two of the cores from a snapdragon 800 (2.3ghz). I know on my desktop I have an AMD Athlon 64x4 @2.8ghz that performs about the same as my i5 2450m @2.5ghz (turbo and almost always at 3.1ghz). As soon as I get an application that can't utilize all 4 cores the performance is nearly halved when compared to the i5 and makes it seem like a dog. As I said though, it's no suprise that this phone performs as good or even better than "more powerful" devices. I mean, I just can't see flipping through home pages and what not requiring anything more than a decent dual core processor. Optimization is key, and throwing more cores at it won't help.
[Moto X General] freeintruth:
I suppose my Nexus 4 is no longer a high-end phone. But still, it is not that bad yet :) after having MOTO X, I hardly touch my N4 anymore for two major reasons: touchless control and the compact size of MOTO. The screen size is the same, but the phone size ain't. Additionally, N4, to me at least, has a wired headphone jack. MOTO X has it in the middle, much easier to hold.

And of course, the dimple :D

The only super major huge disappointment is the MOTO X's camera. Oh my goodness, magic tweak twice to wake up this crappy camera?

That said, X is more than enough to impress average consumers. It is definitely not for geeks and spec-lovers :)
[Moto X General] Wing00w0:
I have a Xperia S and I am tempted to buy a moot x what do you think it's good idea? Does it worth it? I know that the camera of the MotoX takes "funeral mode" photos compared to the Xperia S

I saw that the performance it's great but I still don't know

Help
[Moto X General] ShamanicEnzan:
I get no lag with any of my apps with the dual cores, even the store models and I noticed the other store models did struggle at times. Reminds me of when the HTC Vivid came out, as one of the first dual core phones....no one could use it to the full potential, so I think the Quad Cores should be better utilized in the next generation of phones, but Moto X has more than enough power right now.
[Moto X General] Turb0wned:
No need to lie, the HTC One does hiccup at all.. With that said, I'm considering going to the X simply because of battery life. I just feel like I will miss the aluminum, front speakers and camera.
[Moto X General] qnet:
I got the Moto X and love it. Everything runs smooth and fliud all throughout the system and apps. I'm selling my HTC One and GE S4 but am getting a Dev edition One. I really hope Google and Motorola keep making phones like this and this is just the beginning.

[Sony Xperia L] SapZapper:
No problem mate :) I wasn't sure whether it worked or not,so thanks for confirming.

P.S:- Your english is fine.
[Sony Xperia L] [QS]:
It's a bug with "unsafe volume levels" prompt. For some reason sometimes it doesn't show... or shows with couple of minutes of delay. It manifests with volume remaining low but showing change as you press volume buttons up or down.

Reboot fixes it as previous poster already told you :) [you beat me to it lol]

Hey guys, me again, I have a problem over here one day my phone starts to consume a lot of battery, at first it was the contacts application, then logsprovider, then contact manager, finder application provider and in some cases the android application system, all that I consume the phone, one day is a day other which I can do, since I heated phone use and the battery runs out very quickly.

I have already installed the firmware twice with odin and after a few hours back the same, I've done factory reset and nothing working.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cruise350:
The new Android Device Manager location finder seems to be the culprit a lot of time now. If you are in a low signal area or have bad gps reception this new app that was pushed to the phone can suck down your battery. You have to disable this feature through the Google settings app in your app drawer.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] maxpower7:
Has anyone found a solution to this problem? I'm still getting major battery drain from Google Services even with location reporting unchecked and device manager turned off.

I was finally able to take care of the problem. If you force stop Google Play Services and clear the app's data, then force stop the Play Store and clear the app's data, then reboot, it seems to take care of it.

Hey, I followed this tutorial to root my s2 (youtube) watch?v=CCgncF59mwE and I am now at the last step where I root the device using Samsung Quick Root. The problem is it's stuck. It only did 1 step -- checked for Connection and it passed and now it's at Checking TEMP ROOT Access... and in the bottom right corner it sais - Perm Rooting device, Please Wait- I have been waiting for 28 minutes, is this normal is it stuck? What do I need to do to not screw anything up ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Flash a custom kernel like Siyah or PhilZ which will give you root+CWM which will then enable you to backup/restore/flash whatever you want. How ? Search. Will save you mucking around with a method like that (even CFRoot would be quicker/easier).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NylasRO:
so i can just end process on quick root?

I am so lost, here I just want to root/install a custom rom but I don't want to screw anything up, anyone that can show me a good noob tutorial for my S2 i9100 (BVKE2 - 2.3.3 Android Version) ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
2.3.3 ?? Wow. Haven't seen that since forever.

If it were me, I'd flash an ICS (not 4.0.4, stay away from 4.0.4 stock roms period) or JB stock rom for my carrier/country, then flash the appropriate custom kernel. Trust me when I say you don't want to try to do anything with your phone by 'taking shortcuts' or being in too much of a hurry to do anything. Take your time, read the guides/tutorials so you know what you're doing before you do it.

Someone else might tell you how/what to do on Gingerbread but I wouldn't do anything to the phone unless I'd updated to ICS or JB first. Maybe QuickRoot doesn't work with the Android version you're running given how ancient that is ? (I'm not motivated enough to read the thread devoted to it on here to find out).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NylasRO:
Thing is there's no info on my carriers website on how to flash a stock JB or ICS. And when I try to do it from the phone it sais there's is no update for me to do. And when I open kies I can't update it with that cause there's no option for it. I have no idea how to update it safely.

What I found was this website -> samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9100 but I am unsure on what to do, under version, does that mean my kernel version ? Cause I have BVKE2 and I can't find that there. If it doesn't matter what version I download then I can flash it with Odin I guess... I could use a bit of guidance :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
OK.

Best place to get firmwares is Samfirmware.com. They have pulldown boxes where you can choose device/country/carrier & it will give you all the firmwares your carrier has released. As to which one to choose, that's up to you. As to how to flash stock firmware (and root/other stuff), 3rd thread stickied at the top of Q&A (as well as the guides/tutorials) has pretty much everything you need. Thing is, you could have easily found that yourself.

On that note, I repeat my warning in my PP to be very very careful & make sure you understand what it is you're doing before you do it. You give me the impression you just picked QR without knowing how it works, I've lost count of the number of times I've seen that end badly for people here over the past almost 2 yrs. As long as you take your time & learn before you do, the risks to your device are minimal.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NylasRO:
OK I promise I will read the entire thread before I do anything, if I decide do even do it since it's a lot more complex then I initially thought. I will read everything and be 100% I know what I am doing before I do it, don't want to half - ass this. Thanks for the help.

Part 6: Rooting [OPTIONAL]

Quote:

*NOTE* Rooting your phone will void your warranty! No service center will accept phone if rooted.

To root your phone,download the rooting file,depending on what firmware have you downloaded.This is the best way for rooting,as it doesn't get you the yellow triangle.

Ice Cream Sandwich XWLP7 (4.0.3): ...link

Jelly Bean XWLSW (4.1.2): ... link

1.Put the file on your External SD!

2.Reboot into Recovery.

3.In recovery,select "Install update from external storage",and search the downloaded file,and install it.

4.Reboot

I'm stuck at this - what if my versions of ICS or JB are none of the above?

You can try BusyBox Installer by the developer JRummy Apps Inc, This one worked for me! Just press install and thats it.

I can't post the link but you can find it on the play store, just search for busybox and its usually the second one.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optik19918:
For those who have the same problem is becose the htc one has no permission for rw in to the system so if u wanna keep the stock kernel u can use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.timos.htconerw

To gain the rw permission and after u can use the busybox installer app in Google play

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akorpija:
Sorry for reviving such an old thread. The above link is for an outdated app (I didn't bother trying it). It could still work.

This was the way I installed to my HTC One M7 International version.

However, here's another option for those of you wanting a fix. Use the "recovery" option in the installer; It'll reboot itself to recovery and flash a .zip of BusyBox. Worked for me. The app is called Busybox On Rails and can be found in the App Store.

I can't post a link, maybe a mod can add one or something...
