[Moto X General] hnakhi:
Hi. I have a couple of important questions (for me):

1- how are the viewing angles?

2-does the display support "true blacks"? If you go into a dark room and view a black background, will the phone looks like it is turned of or will there be a little light from the screen?

3- how is the sound quality and loudness? Both speakers and the phone-calling one

Thanks in advance
[Moto X General] mtoomey79:
1. Good? They seem alright I guess.

2. True black, no light. Pretty cool.

3. Subjectively, the audio, as in playing music from the speakers sounds better than the S3. The call quality not using speakerphone seems a little...I don't want to say worse, just different, than the S3. Speakerphone is fine, personally I don't expect speakerphone from a cell to sound super great.
[Moto X General] SubliminalME:
I came from the exact same scenario (running mastamoons nightly 10.2).

For the phone is about the same amount of fluidness... Maybe the Moto x is slightly more fluid on a regular basis. The signal cannot even be compared. I love in a crappy area for reception and the cm would not switch well and I would often be the only person at a given time with no signal at all.

I bought an HTC one in between and the same applies... Signal is so much stronger.

The Moto x has a lot of gimmicks involved but active notifications are well worth it. And the battery life is always from sleep to sleep.. I always had to charge the s3 in the middle of the day.

This is the best phone I've yet used... Well worth the upgrade, especially when you can sell the s3 for more than the x costs on contract... And that ain't Gunna last forever.

The s3 is a great phone, but it really can't compare.
[Moto X General] ericizzy1:
thanks for the input, im on the unlimited data, so for me its $600, not $200, thats why im debating on it.

I have an s3 with aosp as well. How does the camera compare?
[Moto X General] someguyatx:
Thanks for this thread, great comparisons. 4 of my last 5 Android were/are Samsung.
[Moto X General] SubliminalME:
Camera is...comparable. Both of them can take some extraordinary photos and some real stinkers. The camera works faster, which is helpful, so I think i'd give it the edge. Plus, I hear word that software updates/camera fixes are en route. :)
[Moto X General] mtoomey79:
I feel like the camera is quicker AND takes better pictures. I will say I'm not a huge picture taker. I'm heading to California tomorrow for vacation and plan on taking some snaps while I'm out there.
[Moto X General] hidea:
Just for your information, there's a module for Xposed Framework that will hopefully bring some of the CM 10 features into our Moto X. It's a start, but it's already "fixing" some of the things that are off tangent from AOSP; although most are still cosmetic.

Check out the module: MotoXposed http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2431768
[Moto X General] mtoomey79:
So the camera is pretty slick on this. I was doing some side-by-side comparisons with an iPhone 5 and I can easily report this camera functions more quickly than the iPhone 5 (don't know if you needed or cared to know this). The little screwdriver motion you can make with your phone to open the camera is pretty awesome too (may be in my top three features of this phone). Overall the picture quality is quite good, no complaints as of yet.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lazure:
No matter what... any time I try to set a contact photo on the HTC One for phone contacts, it FORCES me to crop it. Not only that, it FORCES a weird rectangular aspect ratio when the contacts use a SQUARE aspect ratio for display. This means every photo I use looks squished and hideous as a result.

I've tried using alternate phone apps, but every single one just loads up HTC's built-in one when editing the contact information therefore forcing me to deal with the (terrible) cropper tool.

You cannot skip or bypass this crop. You MUST crop or you MUST cancel. No other way around it. Nothing I do is working, and I don't wanna risk breaking my phone by rooting it or whatever. Is there ANY WAY or ANY APP that has a custom contact editor that can get me past HTC's terrible cropper?

I even manually cropped 1:1 ratio images and put them on the phone myself, and it STILL tries to crop them in a rectangular aspect ratio. I can't find help or information on this anywhere.

What's weird is if I choose to take a picture on the fly using the built-in camera, it comes out fine. However I can't obviously get a picture of every contact on my list as some don't live near me!

Guys I'm using RemicsFireEel JB rom 4.2.2 from Remics and I have a weird problem with the email app. fortunately earlier this evening it was working and atleast 15 emails went in from different accounts after i opened it, strangely i haven't been receiving notifications this weekend but it was probably because of the push settings. As I cycle around the accounts in the email app it suddenly went to say "Waiting for sync" for atleast 5 ~ 15 minutes and I couldn't access the other accounts as well, I tried rebooting, force stopping and even disabling and re enabling the app but still no good... any suggestions?

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] mancubas:
Hi,

I am trying to use my XDA SPV m1000 with my leadtek Bluetooth GPS receiver. I was using this http://www.tomtom.com/support/rightnow.php?ID=4&Language=1&M=0&Page=std_alp.php guide to set it up.

I got through all of the stages except the last one. It won't let me put a tick in the box.

I'm guessing I need a newer firmware version. The current version I have now is 4.20. Or it may be because I have version 3 of tomtom. Either way this is pi$$ing me off something chronic.

Thanks for any help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] internetpilot:
Is any kind hearted dev going to release a working update to the flashable All apps Multiwindow and 4-1 reboot mods for the full MC2? The lastest MC2 OTA caused these mods to not work anymore, and the only way to get them seems to be by flashing a full ROM. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, literally none of the MC2 ROMs here work on my phone. There's always a significant glitch or deal-killer for me, so after trying each one I've had to go back to rooted stock MC2. I'm okay with that for the most part, but I'm sorely missing these two mods!

Also, has anyone gotten the 23 Toggles app/mod working on stock MC2? I'm jealous of my wife & kids' Data toggle on their S3's and would love to have it on the GN2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] patrao_n:
Check out lab rats. They just updated to mc2

sent from my Provari with a mini rda!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] internetpilot:
Thanks, I did check them out, but it had too much Pinky & the Brain stuff for me, personally speaking. My wife was ready to kill me when I first booted that ROM and it played the theme song from the show rather long and loud... haha. I'm just really not much into heavily themed ROMs, which is why I'd prefer the individual mods.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] YrrchSebor:
i have the reboot mod working on stock deodexed MC2.. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2036216. if you check the last post, someone else also confirmed it working on MC2. EDIT: or perhaps i used this one lol, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2295784. can't remember which but perhaps they both work.

as for the Multiwindow, i thought i had the all apps mod, but i'm not positive. i definitely have the transparent multiwindow mod running.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lord Sekhmet:
Use Xposed with XBlast and XMulti Window Mod. I am on MC2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] internetpilot:
I tried the first one you linked to -- it worked for the leaked MC2, but not the MC2 OTA. Same thing with Viper's all apps multiwindow mod.

I finally got everything working on the Digiblur ROM, which is basically debloated MC2 OTA with significant tweaks and mods while keeping a very stockish feel.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] YrrchSebor:
Ah cool, glad you got it all working on Digiblur. Just out of curiosity, what do you mean by the MC2 leak? I've only had this device for a month or 2, but I thought this was the official stock MC2 ROM, just rooted and deodexed: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=40475235. Or was that a leaked version? Thanks for any info
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] internetpilot:
If you recently downloaded and flashed that MC2, then you do have the official OTA. However, prior to like early June, the MC2 everyone was using was a leaked version that had some MA7 bits in it.

I know that most of the active ROMs that have updated to the MC2 OTA have the usual mods working, but I don't think the individual flashable mods work on the official MC2 OTA -- at least they didn't for me. They worked with the MC2 leak tho.

I'm going to have to check out Xposed. I've been seeing references to that on the forums and I'm thinking it will likely come in handy like when the 2.3 update is released (and likely houses all the mods all over again).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] YrrchSebor:
Great, thanks for the info. On that ROM I linked, I do have the 4-in-1 reboot mod, the hotspot mod, and at least the transparent multiwindow all working. I feel like maybe the all-apps multiwindow mod may have caused me a bootloop but I'm not sure.

But hey, here is another question, one that I asked in a thread here: do you know of a mod for long-pressing the menu button to kill the app you're in? I've seen it for the S4 but I personally have yet to find it for this device.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electronical:
I am using the Note 10.1 N8000 and i have just rooted earlier today and installed the latest CWM 6.0.3.6 Touch version. I can access it fine and cleared the cache and dalvik cache as instructed in the ROM thread. But when installing the ROM itself, there is freezing when i've reached the 3rd or sometimes the 4th step. I can't keep using the volume keys (as i've read that sometimes using the touch in CWM can cause freezing issues) in the Aroma menu, as i can't see which button is being selected (no highlighted buttons, so i can't differentiate which button is selected).

Just to see if this isn't a bug with the ARHD 9.0 or its bundled Aroma, i've also tested the Omega ROM and there is again freezing in the Aroma menu, after a few steps, sometimes at the very last step.

I would really appreciate some help if someone could figure out why i can't go through the Aroma installer without freezing. Basically, i'm now stuck wth my stock 4.1.2 Touchwiz ROM.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevinrus123:
So, when you can enter recovery you can "mount USB Storage" and pull off the titanium backup to your pc , the you can flash the current firmware thorugh Flashtool , then go back in recovery , "Mount USB Storage" again , pull your titanium backup back to your interal sd card. After that get the Titanium Backup App and restore it :)

I can highly recommend PayPal to you , cause to make an account it costs nothing :)

Yeah, dropping a file into Chrome and casting the tab seems to work. When casting a tab, I'm assuming that a mild delay is typical, right?

To some degree as that is still in beta. Network conditions also play a bigger part when casting via chrome

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
You must be using a custom ROM, as the stock ROM does not have an LTE/GSM/WCDMA setting.

As for the settings on a stock ROM:

"LTE/GSM auto" is the only one that allows you to use all three radios (LTE/WCDMA/GSM).

If you don't use LTE, the two settings are: "WCDMA preferred" and "GSM auto". Both use WCDMA and GSM, but differ as to which signal is preferred in various cases. The following is pure speculation on my part: I believe that "WCDMA preferred" tends to prefer a weaker WCDMA signal over a stronger GSM signal, while "GSM auto" prefers the strongest signal. I haven't confirmed this at all though.

"WCDMA only" and "LTE only" do exactly as they say.

If you are using any other setting than the five I mentioned above, it is pointless, as the N4 does not have a CDMA radio.

I'm using Swype+Dragon for text input through dictation. I can't use Google's own keyboard since I happen to be Greek, and Google doesn't support dictation in our language (yet). So, Swype+Dragon it is.

Problem is, it doesn't seem to like my Jabra bluetooth hands-free gizmo. Googles own Voice Commands, though, seem to work with it. So...

Does anyone know if there's a "fix" or hack or tweak or whatever, so as to make Swype "listen" to me, while not having to hold my Nexus 7 two centimeters from my face (to use its own mic)?
