[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptir:
I was running stock rooted on my N4 for a while but ultimately ended up throwing PA on there. There are some nice features that I miss in stock... quick settings pulldown with one finger, single tap to toggle wifi/bluetooth, etc... I'm sure i'll end up doing the same with my 5 if I decide to buy it.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liveMike:
I would go nexus 5. moto x is already several months old and support on the device will not last like it will for n5. Additionally if you decide to root down the road when support stops (for either device) the n5 will still have developer support.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brianjcohen:
I'll likely root it but stay stock. I'll probably also run Ubuntu Touch on it from time to time :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
I can answer your question with another question:

Are you interested in running latest Android version and getting latest updates first? As well as being able to get updates 2 years from now if you still have the device.

Would like pentaband 3G and LTE on your device?

A device with better camera, higher screen resolution, better specification making it more future proof than the Moto X, all this while being cheaper and required no contract?

Stock 4.4 rom and Franco kernel will be a heavenly combo, best you`ll ever get and also with color- and soundcontrol :good: AdAaway will get rid of those annoying ads.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangekid:
To your original question, the Nexus 5 would be the better choice.

1) Cheaper price.

2) Immediate / first OTA updates.

3) Better screen resolution - 1080p vs 720p

4) Processor - snapdragon 800 vs snapdragon S4 Pro.

Honestly I can't think of one thing the Moto X has over the Nexus 5. You want stock? Why not stock 4.4? What about any new Android releases? Gotta get a ported AOSP version if you want it right away...

Nexus 5 should be the best stock device of all time, no bloatware, faster updates etc.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ms0chez:
Everything above is the reason I want the Nexus 5. Beside the fact that its minimally beautiful. I do have Verizon but my Nexus 4 on Aio. Verizon does have the best service for my location and the only working service at my home.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christx:
I truly believe that the moto x will receive fairly quick updates. Do I think they will be available the same day google releases an update.....no, very soon thereafter, yes. :good:

Now, which is the better device, the moto x or the Nexus 5, Nexus 5. The only reason I would say buy the moto x over the Nexus 5 is because you want a smaller form factor, which some people prefer.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osugsxr:
I had the nexus 4 for awhile and switched over to the iphone 5 once it did 3g on my carrier. I played with almost all higher end android phones rooting/ custom roms :mad: and was really always wanting more. I believe I went through probably 15-20 phones selling and trading . Grew very tired of it!!! I've had the iphone 5 for the past 6-7 months purchased from apple and I am happy with it. :eek: Nexus 5 I am looking to purchase but most likely wont be tinkering with roms or anything, I hope not.

Wife will get the iphone 5 , which has apple warranty on it and Ill probably sell her iphone 4s unlocked with a mophie case for $300 or so. So hopefully Ill enjoy the nexus 5 and the android os again.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ms0chez:
So I decided as soon as it went live today....I ordered the Nexus 5. Super excited. Hopefully won't be disappointed.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lensgrabber:
Not so sure about this just yet. From what I think I know so far, the X still has some pluses

Touchless Control everywhere (not just on the home screen and in the Gnow app)

Active Notifications

That black screen. (drawback, those non-whites)

Unlock via NFC

For the N5, though, there are plenty of pluses

Speed. That S800/330 combo should be awesome.

Kit Kat out of the box

Photosphere

Probably a better camera, but with OIS it should be a huge plus.

Qi charging (yeah I miss that on the X)

I would say Wallet but it looks like 4.4 is going to rock the Wallet world so Nexus devices should no longer have that advantage.

I ordered a N5, zero minute, so I'll be driving it and the X a while together. One on T-Mobile and the other on AT&T. I really hope that camera rocks my world.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarnar:
Google has shown that two years later you won't get updates.

Galaxy Nexus (November 2011) won't get Kit Kat (November 2013).

Nexus S (December 2010) didn't get JB 4.2 (November 2012).

And we still don't know how long it will take for Moto X updates. The current delay is annoying, for sure, but is hardly damning yet. Hopefully they'll jump the X straight into Kit Kat.

I also remember that my Galaxy Nexus didn't get 4.2 the day that the N4 shipped. Delays are expected even for Nexus branded phones.

The T Mobile Moto X has that. And they are sold SIM unlocked.

Edit: So does the developer edition.

My Galaxy Nexus has a pretty crappy spec sheet these days but is still a fine phone. You don't know what is going to be good enough in two years. And the extra features (specifically those low power cores) on the Moto X potentially add to the future proofing equation.

I suspect the Moto X price is going to drop further before Christmas. Or at least that's my hope. $400 for 16 GB is pretty much the sweet spot for me with that phone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
Yeah I just found that out now, very lame by Google, but at least it will be ported anyway. There should be a petition for Google to release KitKat for it. Otherwise it will be the same trend for future Nexus, and hardware keeps getting better. It's within their promise of 18 months so its their right to stop, its just that there is no reason why the GNex hardware can't handle 4.4 and they aren't exactly short of money to do it. Maybe it has to do with having to release it for Verizon and Sprint too which would be a pain.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] MR.MEMORYLANE:
So I'm thinking about getting an unlocked note 8.0 from Rogers and the specs are

2G- GSM 850/900/1800/1900

Will I get 3G / 4G with Tmobile in USA Las Vegas Nevada?

I'm in a refarmed area so the 1900 3G will work & I'm pretty sure the 4G 1700/ 2100 Will work but the store is saying it won't so I'm a little confused. Your help would be much appreciated. ..

Can't seem to get the apex drivers to load correctly under Windows 8. Also google them trying to find some but so far no luck. Any ideas how to get gtablet in apex mode where windows 8 64-bit might recognize it?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobe1976:
I don't think there are any since it is a legacy device. Best to use a live USB of Ubuntu 12.04 or even Linux Mint 15. Your PC should be able to boot off of a USB thumb drive if you set it up in DOS. You can partition the Thumb drive to keep the live session on one side and your recovery versions on the other, both fat32 format. Once you boot the tablet in apex mode you can connect it up and run the nvflash_gtablet.sh command.

Instructions on Linux NVflash HERE.

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mradermaxlol:
Hello all! I have a problem with /data partition. I was on JoyOS RC4 + Fresh ThunderKernel 2.1 for CM (now on standard CM 7.2). As usual, I rebooted my phone and realized that lots of apps are missing! I tried to reinstall them, but every time I got just a reboot. When I managed to access the file system, I saw that "app" and "app-private" catalogs were missing in /data partition! Only re-flashing (via CWM, another ROM, for example) was helpful. Anybody knows why does it happen? Maybe SD-EXT?

[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] trickinit:
So is this flashable in CWM?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Behold_this:
No, this is encrypted rom zip. You can flash it via fastboot (fastboot oem rebootRUU, fastboot flash zip name_of_zip.zip), or wait for developer to put it into a custom ROM for you. I suggest you wait for custom ROMs to be posted based on this released. Otherwise you might as well just run the RUU executable file which can be downloaded direct from HTC.

Cool, thanks for the clarification.

So what would be the difference between flashing this and the RUU? RUU updates Hboot, and this does not?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Garmig:
This is for the devs to make a Custom Rom and if you flash this via fastboot you get the same result as an RUU.

G'day All,

Hold onto your hats! Here's a captivating video demonstrating the sheer power of the Galaxy Note III.

The video compares the phone with a variety of devices using Augmented Reality rendering and graphics performance benchmarks in the most INTERESTING way possible. Enjoy!

[YOUTUBE]N8wQexBfGD4[/YOUTUBE]

Next time you look down at the phone in your hand, just be aware of what you're holding!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Samzebian:
impressive stuff on this new GPU, really makes my old Note II seem so underpowered now

On a side note, this video made me realize I have to leave RDIO now to gt some more obscure music into my collection (almost none of the songs at the end of that video showed up). Google play again?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] James Harrison:
Cheers Samzebian,

The sheer increase in GPU performance since the Note II was one of the things that struck me the most during my testing.

In relation to your side note, you're not going to find any of that music in mainstream areas. Your best bets are Bandcamp, Soundcloud and Youtube!

Thanks for watching mate!

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnoted:
Sorry if this is a newbie question, but if I root my Galaxy Note 3 (N9005, Vodafone Australia), will it still get OTA updates?

I ask because I used to have a HTC Desire HD, and after rooting and installing Cyanogenmod, I tried to put the Nandroid backup of the stock rom back on, which was fine but for some reason wouldn't install the OTA updates. It would tell me there was an update and download it, but would fail to install.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GamingDj:
I think no.It may receive,but it'd fail to install.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
If it does install you will loose root... But I believe if the system is found to be custom in any way it will fail on install of OTA or will actually tell you that the phone has been modified and no updates available for you
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnoted:
Thanks for the reply. Just out of curiosity about the HTC Desire HD that has since been given to a less tech-savvy relative, is there a way to unroot so the OTA update will work??
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikegrmn:
I rooted my N3 3 days after buying and then tried to get an OTA update. It didn't download first, as my phone was set to custom. After using Wanam's setting to "reset" the custom status, I could download the OTA update but couldn't install it.

Basically, with root you can still check if there's an official update available, but you can't install.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnoted:
Anyone know how it actually tells if the phone has been rooted? Surely there's a way to reset it to unrooted/non-custom state so OTA updates work again...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
The boot loader and the os itself scan for certain things such as modified kernel/recovery or installation of busy box.

The Samsung's aren't so bad, you can just flash back the stock rom and factory reset to start getting ota updates again. On htc phones you have to unlock the boot loader to root and its a one way process. Once unlocked you can never get ota updates again.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:
Once you have rooted, the system partition has been modified so Samsung doesnot allow you to OTA update. It checks MD5hash for the consistency. Factory reset doesn't help because it only format userdata partition.

If you r rooted, better go to sammobile.com, download the latest firmware version, copy it to sdcard and flash via Mobile Odin Pro. This way you can keep the old bootloader so you can fallback (downgrade) to the older firmware later.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ppd0526:
So what happened today, I was just managing some files on my HTC One in Windows. Deleting a few files and then all of a sudden the progress bar stops responding when I went to delete a folder. Not sure if the folder matters or not but either way, I clicked 'cancel' since the progress bar wasn't moving and I figured I would just delete the files in there later.

Unplugged phone and all of a sudden, there were 0 files on my internal memory. I tried to reboot and still nothing, no files showed up on my internal memory and the storage shows the same with most space being free.

I'm not really sure why that happened but I guess just a warning for anyone else out there to learn from my mistakes.

This has happened to me before on a different computer with a different phone (Galaxy Nexus). Both have no sd-card and use the MTP protocol for connecting to Windows. I think there might be a bug in the way that Android handles that with files but I can't prove it.

Any tips on data recovery?

sorry let me rephrase that. you can use the phone overseas immediately.... granting that you're using the Verizon service internationally..... however if you want to use a localized Sim card.... then you need to have your phone unlocked. luckily for you..... Verizon has it in their contract that you can unlock your phone for free. 1 unlock per phone number per account. do a Google search on that and call their customer service. they'll walk you through the steps.

I did it last year when I took my iPhone to Beijing for work and wanted to use a local Sim card instead of racking up international costs...
