[Moto X General] jimmydafish:
why are you surprised, the auther owns stock in Apple, was the first editor of Mac Week, and is routinely invited to speak at apple related events. So don't let a fanboi's article get you upset.
[Moto X General] ClippinWings:
I'm surprised because he singled out a phone that is widely praised for it's design... one that actually has better ergonomics and feels better in hand than not only the iPhone he praises... but any other phone currently available.

Here's the comment I posted over there(that will likely never get approved):
[Moto X General] jimmydafish:
Ok, so you are surprised that an unabashed apple fanboi has negative things to say about an Android device.
[Moto X General] Pfhortune:
This is the line that got me:

By who? Most of the reviews I've seen have been positive. If anything about the Moto X has been a failure, it was how the launch was handled. Fumbling with Moto maker was their biggest mistake. This is because of its AT&T exclusivity. Prospective buyers would pass on the phone for other carriers because it appeared inferior. But bad sales figures does not a bad device make.

This is an interesting thing to say, since the design of the 5S is almost completely unchanged from the 5. One could argue the "if it ain't broke" angle, but evolution is not revolution. Apple did not reinvent, it maintained.

In addition, "winning over Apple cohorts" goes against the earlier derision of "obedient bloggers." Are "Apple cohorts" not also in a camp of followers?

So yeah, Apple-happy post by Apple-happy person. Nothing to see here.
[Moto X General] ClippinWings:
no, I'm surprised by the arguments he chose to base his derision on... I mean, he specifically chose to argue fallacies.

It would be like me arguing that:

There ARE things you can pick on about the Moto X... and android in general... specifically in comparison to the iPhone... but the Moto X's design, ergonomics and in-hand feel... are not among them.

[Moto X General] aooga:
What a pathetic article. What really amazes me is why people bother to even read tech news on huffington post. Why?
[Moto X General] Cronis:
Whats Huffington post? :silly:

But seriously think I read one article by them and was like... yea waste of time, lack of research, writting skills etc etc
[Moto X General] DroidOnRoids:
Just another sheep lost in its own herd. Quite sad honestly lol
[Moto X General] brian Marshall:
I don't generally like to throw the 'fanboi' ball around so I won't.

No matter what you think of huffington post there's one thing they are really good at. Writing articles (and especially headlining them) for SEO and maximum traffic.

He has an opinion. HP gave it a great SEO headline. "digital divide"? really? Usually that means something else, but that doesn't matter if the hits keep coming in. Still it's just on person's opinion.

While I disagree with his opinion and love the design, feel and just about everything about my moto X there's one thing he's right about. This phone has not sold well. Certainly the roll out had an effect. Google saying it would be cheaper or there's a cheaper version coming didn't help. There were lots of reasons to hesitate... BUT I am not sure google/moto built this phone to be a hit. This phone is about the future of google, android and moto, and moto's reputation. Sometimes it takes a product cycle or two. Did anyone think Samsung would take over the world when the galaxy S was new? Hell I think for most of them the GPS didn't work.

When I bought my X it was between moto and apple. I can't say the design of either is bad. Apple is really good at design. They are also good at getting the most out of hardware. A lot of companies follow their lead. The moto x was the only phone out there trying to do something different and (IMO) doing it well.
[Moto X General] Demiurgic:
Its just click bait and the 1/2 mil sold was only for the 3rd quarter
[Moto X General] brian Marshall:
Yes, but most phones do their best at the beginning of the product cycle. Prior to the release the buzz was that moto was going to release some crazy game changer that would fly off shelves and give samsung a run for their money. That's not this device. I think the X will be one of those phones five years from now that people will look back at and remember as the start of something.
[Moto X General] Demiurgic:
True but then again all the pre-release everyone thought it was going to be a mid-tier phone and to just wait for the N5. The ATT exclusive didn't help either but I have to agree with you about the start of something
[Moto X General] anirudh412:
Not sad at all! Quite funny actually. Such write ups make my day. I dont want him to state facts. I know that the Moto X kicks ass, I dont need some guy who doesnt have a clue to confirm it.

Now, if someone would be kind enough to point me to the youtube channel where some kid keeps spewing **** like his mother bought him an imac that has a touchscreen etc. Came across it a few years ago, but was foolish not to subscribe. Some said he was stupid while some thought he did it on purpose.
[Moto X General] bclenney:
Yeah, I tweeted back to the guy that he didn't know what he was talking about. I just hate that articles like this one could hurt the Moto X sales and make Google/Motorola go another direction. Other articles also making a big deal about 500,000 sales in 3rd quarter being bad. Well - the phone was only out for 5 weeks or the 3rd quarter and was only on AT&T at the time. So you cannot compare that to worldwide sales of Apple and Samsung devices. What an idiot.
[Moto X General] eeshlikhith:
http://www.unwiredview.com/2013/11/...o-x-is-a-big-success-for-google-and-motorola/

It DID sell well.
[Moto X General] bclenney:
Yeah, but nearly every news outlet is saying it did poorly. Oh, the guy in the article also gave them crap for making a low cost (Moto G) phone - "racing to the bottom". What a sensationalist jerk.
[Moto X General] eeshlikhith:
The news outlets dont realize they are comparing the global sales of other flagships to US only moto X sales :P

and yea jerks be jerks :|
[Moto X General] thedosbox:
Precisely. This is a site that advocates against vaccination, so I find it hard to take anything they write seriously.

As for the sales, be careful with the 500,000 "shipped" number - that doesn't necessarily mean 500,000 "sold" - i.e. we don't know how many are sitting in storage.

[Sony Xperia L] GuestK0058:
As far as i know there is no way to gain root on 4.2.2 without unlocking my bootloader.

I want to backup my TA so i guess i need to go back to 4.1 (via Flashtool) then gain root through motochopper then backup my TA. Than go back to 4.2.2 again and than unlock my bootloader in order to gain root on 4.2.2

Can somebody confirm if this works and does somebody have a ftf file with 4.1 Jelly Bean?
[Sony Xperia L] siankatabg:
Flash 4.1.2(there are some ftf in general tab) then root, backup your TA partition,unlock it and then probably you will get bootloop,just flash 4.2.2.Then use what method you want to root 4.2.2(like flashing .zip or manual push)
[Sony Xperia L] GuestK0058:
Thank you!

EDIT

I can succesfully confirm that i have root on 4.2.2 with a locked bootloader!

[Sony Xperia ZL] LiLTrippz:
Can I put android 4.3 custom roms on my phone while my bootloader is not unlocked?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Drahkarg:
No.

You cannot install anything that requires a custom kernel. Only operating systems based on stock can be used because they depend on the stock Sony kernel. As such, you cannot go above the firmware Sony currently has out which is 4.2.2.

Currently there is no workaround for the 'Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No' issue many users including myself are facing.
[Sony Xperia ZL] LiLTrippz:
Well that just made my day feel like horse ****.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Drahkarg:
I know dude. Trust me. I've been tirelessly trying to unlock my bootloader, but from what I understand the only way to do it is to SIM unlock the phone and then have your service provider set you up with a Sony tech that can unlock the BL, but I have no idea how to do it. I owe Bell some cash -- not enough to lose service mind you -- but they're refusing to help me, so in a few days I'm trading my ZL for a friend's SG Note.

I wouldn't expect a developer to come through with a workaround. This issue has been present on previous Sony phones, and I don't think a workaround has ever been established in the past.
[Sony Xperia ZL] maclancer:
I know is pointless what I am going to write but I have not need to change anything in the ZL. The phone is already pretty good for what it can do and we will get 4.3 directly from Sony soon.
[Sony Xperia ZL] LiLTrippz:
Actually we'll get 4.4 soon, so that's why the BL isn't a big problem to me because all I want is for the phone to be updated. Apparently it comes out somewhere in December. :)

[Moto X Q&A] shkrmkr:
So I just placed two calls in the last hour and both times, the screen locked and I was unable to hang up when I got to the person's voicemail because the screen wouldn't turn back on when I pulled it away from my face. I eventually got the screen on with the power button after a LONG delay. I checked dialer settings and regular settings to see if there was an option to keep the screen on when placing a call but didn't see one. I was rooted, but gave it up and went back to stock and installed the OTA 4.4 without issue. Anyone else experience this?
[Paranoid Android Q&A] Nolan22:
I am able to flash the rom successfully using CWM Recovery, but when the Rom starts up, it does not recognize any network or mobile data. I have flashed back to stock TW Rom, and it all works fine.

[Paranoid Android Q&A] Nolan22:
Thanks for the reply! Why will TWRP allow me to use paranoid android?
[Paranoid Android Q&A] Anu6is:
As far as i've seen from other posts, some versions of CWM cause issues with the baseband when flashing ROMs

TWRP does not have this issue.
[Paranoid Android Q&A] Nolan22:
After installing TWRP on my TMo Note 2, I flashed PA 3.99 + GApps and it seems like everything is working fine. I have data and phone connectivity!

Since Paranoid Android was not working with CWM, does that mean that there might be certain ROMs that will not work with TWRP?
[Paranoid Android Q&A] Anu6is:
I've not heard of any problems with TWRP (that does not mean they don't exist), also the issue with CWM only seemed to appear after a certain update (can't recall the number). Older version work without issue.
[Paranoid Android Q&A] Nolan22:
So I guess I spoke a little too soon. I was able to get data and cell connectivity, but it only lasted a couple hours and then disconnected. Any idea what is happening?

[Moto X Accessories] Wade-0:
I just got two new XO Skins screen protectors for my wife's and my Moto X, and they are NOT cut out to fit the phone correctly. It looks like a manufacturing screw up, because the right side doesn't have smoothly rounded corners, and that's the side that doesn't line up correctly. So basically, if you line up the sides of protector with the edges of the screen, the cutouts don't line up with the speaker/camera/mic correctly, and if you line up the cutouts, the right side of the protector hangs over the edge of the phone.

I've tried to contact their CS about it, but haven't gotten a reply yet.
[Moto X Accessories] Wade-0:
I finally got a reply tonight that they are sending replacements. I'll update this post after they arrive.
[Moto X Accessories] Wade-0:
The replacements arrived, and they are exactly like the originals. I'm sending all of them back for refund and trying something else. I snapped some pics and if the issues show up very well I will post them here.
[Moto X Accessories] natezire71:
Post 'em!
[Moto X Accessories] Wade-0:
Ok, I took a couple pics to show the fitment issues. These were all taken with the screen on dry, because it shows up way better than when it's applied wet, so ignore the bubbles. The first pic is mostly to demonstrate where the cutouts are if you centered the film on the screen (the top is still a bit too much to the right, but it's hard to position these things when they are dry). The second pic is with the cutouts for the mic and camera aligned as closely as possible to show how much the film hangs off the right edge, and the giant gap on the left edge.

The other thing I think you can see pretty well is how smoothly the upper right and lower left corners are radiused, while the upper left and lower right corners have a point.
[Moto X Accessories] natezire71:
That's awful. Geez
[Moto X Accessories] kraamerica:
Late to the party, but I ordered these for poops and giggles because of credit I had and I will also confirm that they do not fit properly. Not even close and pretty pathetic IMHO.

Waiting on some Xtreme Guards to show up.
[Moto X Accessories] Wade-0:
I'm waiting on a response from them so I can return them for a refund, and they are conveniently ignoring my request for an RMA. They have a 30 day money back guarantee, but apparently they are just waiting until day 31 to respond with the RMA. We are currently at day 29. I'll never recommend or do business with these clowns again.

[Moto X Accessories] Wade-0:
Finally got a response from XO after threatening to dispute the charge with Paypal, they gave me a full refund. I had a credit with Motorola so I bought some of their Power Support "Brilliant" screen protectors, we'll see how that goes. I have a feeling at some point I'll be putting a wet-application protector on, so probably will check out the Skinomi at that point.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] aliendad:
has anybody yet found a way to move the "device unlock" function from the today screen to a hard button?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] fone_fanatic:
to remove it from the today screen you go to:

Start>settings>Today then items on the bottom and then uncheck device lock.

to move it to a button, i dont know, but what i do is press the power button once and its locked.. just make sure you go to start>settings>buttons then lock on the bottom right and select "lock all buttons except power button"

also theres a way you can do it so it prompts you for a password after you press the power button.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] aliendad:
i know how to remove it from the today screen, thanks

but your way turns off the display,

the whole point of the "device unlock" function is the screen is locked but the display still on.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Puckster:
This has been discussed in a few other posts.

I recently looked into this and from the look of it, the functionality is built into the WM5 ROM as it looks like there is no specific exe file that matches the today screen lock function.

Theres a few reg keys that look like they're related to this but none of them have an exe file associated, only dll's.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Hi,

Stock LG rom is almost 2 Gb... 1,4 Gb is for a custom rom slightly debloated.

Simple, like all constructor overlays with all their apps and stuff the rom size is increased compared to the stock Android rom from Google (and like AOSP/CM/AOKP rom). These rom have the strict necessary.

:)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bo0gietrain:
Hey guys, sorry to create another battery thread but I have a question that does not seem to be addressed anywhere.

After all of my reading basically the only rules to follow for charging are to

1)Avoid 0% (at least for extended periods of time)

2) avoid heat.

My question is: What are the effects of connecting a phone/battery to a charger, then disconnecting it a few seconds later, then reconnecting it a few seconds later, repeat.

Obviously this isn't how I charge my phone but a bad or loose cable could do that, or if I'm using a wireless charger and it keeps falling off, etc...

So just wondering how that kind of charging can effect the battery. Thanks for your input guys.
