[Moto X Q&A] mcgrathpatj:
I too had a LG G2 and returned it for a Moto X on verizon. My main concerns were lesser battery life and camera.... and, a little bit of a concern was the smaller screen size. I too also had rooted and placed CM10.2 on the phone.

My comparisons....

G2 Pros:

1) Screen is slightly nicer/crisper on the G2. Not by much, but it's noticeable to me.

2) Screen size was nice to have... not a deal breaker, but nice to have.

3) More development community.

4) Battery life was AMAZING

5) Camera was very solid

G2 Cons:

1) Back buttons!!!! If the LG G2 had not decided to place the buttons on the back, I would still have that phone.

2) Knock-on feature, while useful, didn't work all the time. So, you have to pick up the device and try and find the damn back buttons to check a notification. Or look like an idiot stabbing a black screen.

3) Slimy back. I felt like this thing would fall out of my hand. Please note, I really don't care what the phone is made of. I've owned the Note 2 and didn't feel the same way as with the G2. G2 was just slick in comparison.

4) cheezy LG UI. Why can't they just do like Motorola and improve camera/knock-on stuff and leave the stock apps to google?!?

Moto X Pros:

1) Form factor and build quality is really fantastic. Feels so good in the hand that the screen size argument vanishes.

2) Sound/speaker quality is noticeably better than any phone I've had. A little strange that I noticed this, but I've seen it mentioned before from others as well.

3) Active notifications are pretty handy, and am quickly getting used to them.

4) Always listening device... verdict still out on this, perhaps a bit gimmicky.

5) Prefect implementation of AOSP. improved in some areas, and left everything else alone! Hence, no needing for new ROMs. Root, yes. But only for Xposed stuff.

Moto X Cons:

1) Battery not up to par with LG G2... but very good. I get a full day and I'm a heavy user.

2) Camera not quite as good compared to the G2... but the sensor is faster...perhaps a tradeoff.

Anyhow, I think the Moto X is a winner. The fact that I had to
[Moto X Q&A] gochiefs:
I had a G2 before switching to the moto x. The Xbox really does feel better in the hand. My problem with The g2 was getting motion blur when taking pictures of my daughter. 2 year old don't like to sit still. When the pics didn't have blur they were awesome, but they were blurry more often then I liked. I haven't hadcany similar issue with the X. Pics snap quick and look great.
[Moto X Q&A] AndreaCristiano:
Better in hand than the G2 better smoothness, more fluid. No lag much better features that actually work
[Moto X Q&A] noobsquared:
I came from G2 as well. The phone lagged way too much for my taste and I couldn't take pics of my kids. Specially in low light, the camera sucked if the object had even little bit movement. Shutter was too slow or something. Returned that and got Moto X, never looked back. Even sold my HTC one after I got this.
[Moto X Q&A] AndreaCristiano:
I just posted in my moto x perfect phone thread that i will be refusing the nexus 5 when it arrives and keeping my moto x
[Moto X Q&A] bd1212:
Wonderful post! I'm REALLY going to consider returning my G2 this weekend; that Moto X is looking mighty fine right about now, and that's without even mentioning that MotoMaker will be coming in a little less than a week for Verizon models!
[Moto X Q&A] AndreaCristiano:
I found the battery on the Moto X to be leaps and bounds better than the G2
[Moto X Q&A] thedosbox:
Yes, I much prefer the way the Moto X handles this. Pick up the phone and the clock appears so you can swipe to unlock or manage your notifications. And it works every single time.
[Moto X Q&A] bd1212:
Wow really? I think the battery life on the G2 is great but it doesn't feel like it's lasting all that long.
[Moto X Q&A] AndreaCristiano:
yea my moto gives me easily 18-24 hours!
[Moto X Q&A] bd1212:
The one thing that I have noticed with the G2, however, is that battery life is much, much better on CM10.2 than on the stock LG ROM. What's really making me want the Moto X is MotoMaker, the nearly $100 cheaper off-contract price, and the battery life that some users are getting... Some are getting 6 hours of screen on time. That's what I get with my G2!

How do you think the camera compares to the G2 or Galaxy S4 after the camera update for the Moto X?
[Moto X Q&A] AndreaCristiano:
I can only tell you from my experience that the MOTO X is the most complete and useful android experience ever!
[Moto X Q&A] bd1212:
How does the camera compare to the G2 or Galaxy S4 after the camera update that Motorola released?
[Moto X Q&A] AndreaCristiano:
i think it varies in some instances the G2 an S4 are better in others the Moto. more updates are coming for the moto camera
[Moto X Q&A] bd1212:
That's true, future camera updates would be awesome. Speaking of updates, I wonder how long it's gonna take for the Moto X to get KitKat. That's another slight concern. With the G2, I'm expecting KitKat ROM's to be out within the next two weeks. With the Moto X, we don't even have unlocked bootloaders and custom ROM's (although you could say we don't need them since the Moto X's stock ROM is nearly perfect).
[Moto X Q&A] AndreaCristiano:
The X is gonna receive kit Kat within weeks there is already a leaded tmobile build

[Moto X Q&A] bd1212:
So it's settled, I'm getting a Moto X. Returned my G2 to Verizon earlier tonight and am now awaiting MotoMaker for Verizon on Monday.
[Moto X Q&A] barondebxl:
I understand you absolutely love the moto x but you have to be unbias sometimes. This is an absolute ridiculous post.
[Moto X Q&A] AndreaCristiano:
it is not ridiculous, it was the experience i had with my MOTO X i would get easily 18-24 hours with it
[Moto X Q&A] barondebxl:
It is because the G2 has clearly better battery life than the moto x, I don't think it's even up for debate or a matter of opinion. Saying the moto x is leaps and bounds better than the G2 in terms of battery life is absolutely ridiculous. I actually was getting interested by the moto x because of some of your posts but you just lost your credibility with this one.

http://blog.gsmarena.com/lg-g2-battery-tests-are-done-here-are-the-results/
[Moto X Q&A] AndreaCristiano:
you can make that statement all you like my GSM Dev edition lasted me a day and a half every time. I would go home after a 13 hour work day using my phone constantly and the lowest my battery ever was 49-44% When I woke the next morning it would be mid 30's I would charge later on that day. With the G2 By my 13 hour work days end I would be in the 20-25% by night and the following morning 15% ish so i would have to charge the next morning. This was my experience I stated it early on while I had my MotoX. Just like I am now getting decent battery life out of my N5. It is possible its the way i have my phone set up and charge patterns but I am getting above average battery life
[Moto X Q&A] jayboyyyy:
while i haven't been able to compare a g2, it is clear that benchmark tests are not always the best. Especially considering the difference in carriers that the site is using to run the test. 3g is not adequate for a test either as everyone else is running 4g all day not just 3g. And one would assume that the phone with the bigger battery would outlast a 3g talk time test than a phone with a smaller battery (assuming they are on the same network with the same carrier and radios). While the tests they ran give you some information, its not enough. What really matters is how the phone performs throughout the day. Switching networks, switching wifi connections, opening apps, writing memory, answering phone calls, idle drain etc. I believe the other person posting his "real life" comparison is much more ideal of a test than running benchmarks.

Benchmarks for the Moto x generally have not been that good, this is why Moto said that the way people benchmark phones is pointless with their phone. It gets much worse benchmarks than say the htc one yet seems to beat it in real life testing in many regards. So Ill trust the persons real life experience of running two phones as opposed to the benchmarks that people run.
[HTC Typhoon] nystateofmind27:
I'm getting this annoying cprog.exe error several reboots after installing wm5. Does anyone else get it? How did you fix it?

I'd really really appreciate it if anyone could maybe send me their version of the cprog.exe file that they are using with no problem. (WM5)

Thanks, Peter
[HTC Typhoon] drummer10630:
The ONLY way I know how to "fix" it, is to reinstall WM5 from scratch. After that, don't mess with the HKEYLOCALMACHINE/security/policies/policies/00001001 or 00001005

suggested settings for app unlocking. (Which is how I got that error on mine).

crazy, but weird that the phone is already setup and everything.. no plastic on screen. I dunno, first time hearing something like that.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lwfb:
Yeah that's not a crack, that's shattered.

I'm gonna call bs on that too.

Why would he set it up tho? Hard to believe imo
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chlehqls:
This is the eerily familiar like the Nexus 4 thread where the guy claimed the glass shattered while inside his pocket.

Sigh.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GldRush98:
So he pulled it out of the box, saw the screen was shattered, and decided to go ahead and take the plastic off and set up the phone any way?

Bull****!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nburnes:
But it is all logged in with the sticker off? Yea....
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brnagi:
Yup total BS, you don't take the screen protector off a cracked phone
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caribouxda:
Impossible lol. I bet he dropped it then tried to be smart by blaming google.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oupavoc:
im sorry but this is hard to believe! It looks like it was dropped! The point of impact looks like the bottom left corner!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
I don't know him to be a dishonest person. Maybe somehow he got a unit that had been tampered with?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oupavoc:
Still think its hard to believe! Why would you take the protective plastic film off, if you notice the screen is cracked? Also these phones are shipped in a decent retail packaging and then you have the actual shipping box filled with either peanuts!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cutterjohn:
AFAIK back in the day, the UPS practice was to "build" a "wall" then just throw ****(parcels) in behind it...

...so... I dunno.. BS or not, but the package should CLEARLY have shown signs of being beat all to hell and back... -> refuse delivery, or photo and claim it...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidDavi:
yea not buying that one nice try bro
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeimygirl:
I call BS too! The way my phones where packed there was no way that they would have cracked like this. They are in a molded box inside a box wrapped by a box inside a box with airbags.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caribouxda:
+1
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedBlueGreen:
I bet there are scuff marks on the plastic from him dropping it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TECK:
Heh, spot on. :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jyuuken:
Checked the pic. This was definitely dropped and he was asked why he set it up he said he wanted to play with it.... Meehhh.. Nice try bro. Bs indeed.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techchic:
Not dropped

The same thing happened to my Nexus 5 a couple of days ago. I had it for exactly 2 days, and I DID NOT DROP IT. Woke up one morning to a hairline crack in the glass, which spread throughout the day. Now the screen looks like it's been run over by a truck. Strangely, the touch screen still works.

I understand why everyone looks at that shattered screen and assumes the phone was dropped. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen the same screen damage happen with my own eyes.

Also, this seems to be a relatively common complaint with this phone already. I googled "Nexus 5 screen crack" and got tons of results. This appears to be happening to many people already.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dangerclose:
Googling "nexus 5 screen crack" results in nexus 5 screen damage due to user error.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonathan3579:
Says the person with a single post, lol. You are lying. I can say that with absolute conviction.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Guys please it's perfectly possible for damage to happen during shipment.

However if that is the case the box the phone came in should also be mangled up. Pics of the box?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonathan3579:
You're absolutely right about that. However, I can tell you that it would require more destruction than I could see possible. As mentioned previously by someone else, my Nexus 5 shipped with a foam type of insert to protect the Nexus 5 box in the box so they'd both have to be destroyed. This thread is a joke and needs to be closed because whether it was intended or not, it's flame bait.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hr Kristian:
For what it's worth I'm browsing these threads now looking for exactly this.

I've had my N5 for but a few days, and I have not dropped it, not even a centimeter. Here's my story:

Had lunch at 11:30, phone is just fine.

End lunch at 12.00, phone goes in front pocket

Pick phone up about 20 minutes later, notice a screen crack.

I have not banged anything against my thigh, it would be impossible for me to have done so, and even so, my phone screen always faces inwards.

Crack on my phone starts about 50 millimeters from the lower right edge, it goes in two directions, one is just a centimeter long into the opposite end of the corner, the other follows a curve inwards on the screen and up to the right corner; ending at roughly the same place from the edge.

That's wildly different from the phone being shattered like shown in the OP, though.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefan.buddle:
Easiest way to resolve the "dropped" vs "gpt it like that" issue it to take close up pictures of the sides of the phone.

If it was dropped then you'll see the damage on the sides from being dropped if not then there's a possibility of it coming like that.

The bottom left vorner of the phone looks vesry suspect imo
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Citizen_Snips:
No freaking way man what does the box look like and why wouldn't he refuse delivery? He dropped it after setting it up. You've been had
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teambestyrandy:
Total puffery aka bull****. There's no way you get it delivered and its cracked. As others have stated if its cracked right out of the box, why would you set it up and use it. Take a look at the bottom left corner that looks like the major source of damage which is from being dropped. I've done a **** load of drop test with many devices from galaxy s, s2, s3, HTC, nexus 4, iPhone and more. I know this is from drops. I hope google makes your friend pay for RMA when they receive the cracked device.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
You know, there's a thread about completely empty packages arriving from UPS, the phone having been stolen along the way. If phones are getting stolen, it's not out of the question that some other packages may have been tampered with.

As far as I know Google covered it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonathan3579:
That's funny because out of hundreds and I mean hundreds of packages I've received from UPS alone, not a single one has ever been tampered with or broken. These aforementioned packages have come from all over the U.S. too so I'm sorry but I can't believe that or the fact that this entire thread's story is anything less than false. Whatever..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QWIKSTRIKE:

I've read alot of the threads and it does seem like alot of mixed reviews about it... i'm coming from a s3 so i'm hoping i'll be impressed besides the screen (sorry i love amoled)

i hope the problems everyone been talking about is gonna be fixed by google updates or what not

you're coming from an S3?

Prepare to have your pants blown off by a pure google experience.

well i broke my s3 a couple months back and been with the bb9900 but i did vow to buy the next google flagship

ahahah i've been with the google expirience from roms ;) but not from a nexus maybe it'll be a difference
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spitefulcheerio:
there is a difference. Something you'll learn quickly: pure google developed by thousands of people for a certain device will always be smoother than a port done by a small group of people.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t0ad:
I came from an S3 myself, I ran AOKP on it most of its life. IMO, the N5 easily tops it in all aspects. The screen is ridiculously sharp, and color reproduction is great compared to the S3's pentile display. The camera works SO MUCH better in lower light scenarios that it's not even funny. Actually, it works better in every scenario that I've tried so far. HDR+ is also quite nice and can really make for some great shots. Battery life I can't really comment on since I just got it today, but I've already gotten more screen on time out of it than I ever managed with my S3, and the N5 came out of the box at 80% charged for me.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhawkins002:
So, two big things to remember:

1. The people most prone to posting experiences online are going to be those with either an overwhelming positive or negative experience, and based off of my admittedly personal observations, negative reports almost always outweigh positive ones in terms of passion (if not quantity) - regardless of the quality of the product. In other words: one or two frustrated people tend to make infinitely more noise than ten to twenty happy ones; consequently, that doesn't mean the product in question is a dud.

2. This is the inaugural batch of hardware. There are going to be a few minor kinks in this first batch that will be fixed with the next production runs from the factory. Usually this is very minor. Unrefined edges, very slight chassis tweaks, etc. Part and parcel for impatience and immediate gratification is the roll of the dice that you might get a unit that is... a bit alpha :)

All this being said, the answer to your question is...

Absolutely not. :D

Mine is going to be delivered tomorrow, but there have been enough variances in the reports and reviews for me to definitely believe that most units are of excellent quality, and any "lemons" out there are well within the bounds of what is to be expected from an initial hardware distribution. Plus, it also helps that almost all gripes seem to be more software related than hardware - and will be fixed by Google in the coming weeks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enddo:
if there's something wrong with it, dont be afraid to RMA it immediately. especially on a first batch of hardware. put it throw all the tests you can at it, i bet you could google this and find out a great set of apps to run on it as soon as you get it. i like cpu and gpu benchmark apps as well as a flashing color screen testing apps(to check for bad pixels), plus any testing that you yourself will be doing. like extended periods of gaming or youtube watching or even just browsing, even if you dont plan on every playing a game for 2 hours straight, do it and see if there's any hiccups.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
From my experience and research, if you get one with no defects than your in great shape.

If you do get one with a defect like me (speaker defective causing massive distortions in phone calls and most audio) then you had a really bad day.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] berichardson13:
Hi friends,

So I was running CyanogenMod 10.1.3 on my S3 and decided to update to the CM 10.2 snapshot that was available for download through the settings page. After messing around with it a bit, I decided I didn't like it and re-installed 10.1.3 through the same page. When it came back up, the CyanogenMod logo just kept turning and turning. I tried to re-install the CM 10.1 .zip file I had on the phone, but Clockworkmod couldn't find it. I also tried to restore to a backup, but again, CWM couldn't find any.

As I see it, all I need to do is get a new CM .zip onto the phone that I can flash from recovery. I downloaded adb for this purpose, but can't get it to open on my computer (Windows 7 x64). So, can anyone tell me another way to get the .zip onto the phone?

I greatly appreciate any help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CrustyMcLovin:
Hey it sounds like you have a couple issues there, not sure where to start. One thing I can help with is getting adb on the Win7 PC. What you need to do is download the Android SDK at http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html. Once the Android SDK is on your machine then use that to get the Android Platform-tools. ADB.exe is part of the platform tools. I hope that helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dkh7m:
did you save the CM .zip file to your phone's internal storage or an SD card? if internal, it may have been erased when you flashed back to CM 10.1. if you put it on your SD card, try reinstalling the SD card and reboot. i've had issues with my S3 where the SD card would come unseated when i put the back cover back on.

also, did you do a wipe when you reinstalled CM? sometimes that helps get you out of bootloop (but it erases all of your data, so hopefully you did a backup).
