[Moto X Q&A] jellmoo:
I am not a shutterbug, so take anything I say in regards to camera with a grain of salt. My opinion is that the Moto X takes better daytime pictures and the One takes better low light pictures. Neither one produces anything amazing. The One has Zoe, which is a cool feature that helps you get the perfect shot, while the Moto X has the double wrist flick to start the camera.

If I had to pick a winner it would be the Moto X, for my use, which is just the occasional snapshot at get togethers or when I need to remember something.

Battery life is better on the Moto X in most things. Standby time is better on the Moto X. Video is better on the Moto X. Gaming is better on the Moto X. The One does seem to do better when it comes to network related activity like heavy web surfing or streaming music.

Neither one is a best in class when it comes to battery, but either one will likely get any but the heaviest of user through the day.
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
I just got an X 2 weeks ago.... And am very happy.

What I did... And my advice to you... Read through the one XDA section thoroughly and the X.... You'll get a good feel for each phones strengths and weaknesses. :)

[Moto X Q&A] Wond3r:
It's tough speaking longevity wise too because the x is 16gb and one is 32

[Moto X Q&A] Son et Lumiere:
I changed over from a One to an X and I don't have any regrets (aside from some annoyances with 4.4 but that's a different subject), the X is a fantastic phone. Both have their strengths and weaknesses.

I agree with jellmoo on the camera, the X takes some pretty good pictures in decent lighting, better than the One but the One takes better shots in low light plus it has many more options and settings. The One has the better speakers though the X's speaker is clear and loud as well. The One's screen is very good but I personally prefer the X's OLED; if you value absolute clarity the One's screen is better, if you value color and contrast the X's is better. I personally prefer some of the Sense apps over the X's/Google's/alternatives such as the dialer, SMS, email and the customized Sense browser is far far superior to Chrome in every way. It also has the IR port and TV app plus radio. The X has active notifications which I love, the always listening search, better battery life, stock for all that entails good and bad as well as some useful stuff like Assist. The main reason I got the X over the One is because of its size as well as the fact that the One CANNOT be repaired in any way, once its battery dies it becomes an expensive paperweight which I think HTC should be flogged for personally. I did love my One though.
[Moto X Q&A] Wond3r:
Do you find yourself actually using the Moto features?
[Moto X Q&A] Son et Lumiere:
I use active notifications all the time, it's great. I didn't think I would use the always listening but I have quite a bit, it's actually useful especially for doing things like sending SMS messages hands free or setting alarms.
[Moto X Q&A] Wond3r:
I'm wondering being a dual core, vs the quad of the HTC, if it will be future proof as apps and games will require more power/computing?
[Moto X Q&A] 640k:
you're fighting an invalid argument. the X has a quad core gpu and a dual core cpu. plus it has dedicated CPUs for other things like listening service and radio. most phones don't have those additional CPUs and rely solely on the dual/quad core to do all of the work.

there is nothing "yesterday" about the X8's SoC design. its the best in its class.
[Moto X Q&A] _MetalHead_:
I had the One and now I have the X. There is no contest, the X is the superior device in every regard. The One has a nice albeit cumbersome body, but aside from that it is just another Android phone. The X on the other hand just oozes innovation. From the X8 chip to the in hand feel to the X specific features- everything has a purpose and nothing is arbitrary. It has superior performance and battery life. Games play better. It's faster in normal use, day to day things. In other words there is no way in hell I would make that trade.

And just a little booster here- I also have the Nexus 5 which is ridiculously fast and just destroys the One all across the board- I prefer the X to the N5.

Sent from my Moto X
[Moto X Q&A] sankyou:
I have also owned the three phones you mentioned and prefer the X. The Nexus 5 was quite nice but I like the form factor and battery life of the X more. Short of that, you touched on many things that I agree with completely.

Hi guys if been asked before i am sorry and don't kill me

Just asking how you root and unlock bootloader of z1

I got phone new like

I used Samsung which in my opinion sucks compare to z1

thanks lads
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Be patient, the update 4.3 show up just today. Developers don't do miracles but in next days will be released a Rooted Firmware 4.3 so the only thing what you will have to do is update your phone, done. :)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mohanned85:
ok but unlocking bootloader is that in same process or what
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
No, you need unlock bootloader to flash custom roms with custom kernels. If you Unlock the Bootloader on 4.2.2 you will kill the camera but the 4.3 update fix that. So probably the Developers will start make 4.3 Custom Roms so you can unlock bootloader as well. Have nothing to do with root you phone. The rooted firmware is not released yet so you can wait few days. We all waiting. This is new stuff so you have to give time to developers.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] aaronuser:
Do you guys believe this device will get much love from ROM developers? I love to tinker with my devices and don't want to be stuck with something that has no development?

Opinions?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Zeblade:
No one can answer this only you. It could be tomorrow or next year.. sorry
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] vincey2kr1:
Right now I wouldn't, I've got it and it's just sitting there collecting dust till there is a rom. No Google on an Android tablet is absurd.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] cdavid469:
here's my take as a lay person

Most of the people who want hardcore development will opt for the slightly underpowered, but very capable, Nexus 7. While the Kindle fire HDX 8.9 offers marvelous hardware, with a top of the line display, it has a locked, and guarded bootloader, which will be tough to crack. While it has already been rooted, and their is safestrap, roms will be limited until the bootloader is cracked. Kernel flashing will obviously be impossible without this. The root capability opens the window, but the door is still closed. I have the 7", and I do enjoy flashing roms, customizing, and tinkering simply for the sake of learning, but I don't have lofty expectations of the devs. While they are wonderful, and make an uncalled for effort to make every device perform at it's peak, I cannot see a locked device getting an abundant amount of attention, when a similarly capable, same-gen piece of hardware came out offering exactly what you already want. You may need to look at other similarly priced 10" tablets, that offer the same hardware, or close, that can be unlocked with a simple click, rather than 100s of man hours, and a bit of hope.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] ElCamino:
I was going to purchase the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 but Office Depot had a great deal on the 7" Kindle Fire HDX. $179.99 plus you get a $20.00 gift card.

I've been side-loading my Google Apps, and I'm quite happy with mine so far. I say go ahead and get one. You can always return it within a month.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] fierce_brake:
My advise is for you to buy it.

I already rooted it and, thanks to [MENTION=2554072]andoidcowboy[/MENTION] tutorial, i got all my google apps working.

I live outside US and I am able to stream all PRIME content (movies, series, etc) using some DNS...

Hardware is really awesome, tab is really comfortable... i just love the darn thing! only thing i regret is not buying the 64gb one...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] CZ Eddie:
If you want real custom ROM's like CyanogenMOD or SlimRom's, then keep looking elsewhere. Because Kindle isn't getting them ANYTIME soon.

If nobody can flash one of these ROM's on a current release of the Galaxy S4 AT&T phone then you can believe the HDX isn't going to be any better.

Only the first two releases of S4 can flash AOSP. Any S4 released in the last 2-4 months is screwed.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] juggamonkey:
All I'm hoping for its maybe a stock rom debloated . Google play . And can still access my prime features
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] darksoul21:
At this point no. Most Dev's want to go after the easier targets that do not have locked bootloaders. Amazon has no one to blame but themselves if they fail (again) with this device.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] bigbrown:
I was this close to buying one, but after using the Nexus 5 and seeing how life is so much easier with unlocked bootloader, I'm never going back to a device that is not a Nexus or GPE. If I'm going be someone's b****, it better come with more benefits than Amazon Prime.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] HoOnZ:
I'm not sure Amazon failed in the past with their Kindle Fires. Failed in the eyes of Devs maybe but not to normal consumers.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Engreeks1:
Which apps are compatible with rooted Kindle fire HDX 8.9

Hi there!

I'm thinking about getting the kindle 8.9 for its awesome hardware, but I'm concerned about what apps are available? Assuming I root the device, can I side load ANY android app? Or only the handful that I see threads about on this forum? (e.g., google apps).

If I'm limited to a handful of apps that's probably a deal breaker.

Thanks in advance!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] darksoul21:
Normal? So your saying that people here are not? They are strange?

---------- Post added at 07:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 AM ----------

You can sideload. Some apps (like ones on Fdroid) need Root. The troublesome part is finding apks (Android version of installer file for app). You can use a back up tool on another device or search the net for apks (that are not Trojan/Virus modded).

---------- Post added at 07:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 AM ----------

I have Prime, so may hold it for a bit. If the Gtab 10.1 2014 drops in price (by at least $100) I'll get rid of this.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Spec-Chum:
I kinda disagree on this.

I agree on the Devs hitting the easier targets, but going by the specs and the price I think it's fairly clear (happy to be proved wrong lol) that Amazon are selling the HDX's at minimal profit and are relying on revenue from sales of their wares through pushing it massively through the Kindle OS.

Amazon obviously know that an unlocked bootloader == user removing Amazon specific features == lost revenue for them.

If it does fail it won't be due to the locked bootloader, IMHO. Although, I do feel they blew 1 toe off by not at least giving you the option of using Google Services on it, many apps require this and they could still bombard us with Amazon goodies.

Maybe, on the logic above, they could have released an unlocked version for a premium, but I for one would not have considered the Kindle HDX, regardless of the specs, if the price was more than a Nexus 7 2013.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] godsburden:
Why not? Literally every single kindle fire has a custom firmware or port to it. It seems like you're pulling this "kindles aren't getting custom roms" out of your ass.Hell, i've got kit-kat 4.4 running on the original kindle fire.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] bigbrown:
I think the company that makes the kindle Foxcon/Asus/LG or whoever should have released a cosemetically altered version and sell it as a GPE. I would gladly pay $50 more for a unsubsidized version that isn't locked down. From what I read, the HW meets or exceeds Apple products.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] darksoul21:
Little to no profit on the base models but they are getting more on the higher storage models. The real problem is that such powerful hardware is gimped by the OS locked to the device. Truly a waste. And it can fail by word of mouth as well. Folks ask the "techie" in the family what to get and this can easily be shot down as an option thanks to the lack of options. Everyone I know has a custom Rom or at least rooted on their hardware. Especially since they had me do it.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Spec-Chum:
I couldn't decide to be fair, so I took the choice out of my hands and just gave the GF a choice of what to get me between the HDX and a Nexus 7.

She obviously chose the HDX for me and I can't say I'm disappointed.

I do have a Nexus 4 though so I can mod that to my hearts content. Her logic was why would I need 2 devices to do the same thing?

Fair call...

(Mackay) OmniROM

​

Hey, guys. I ported OmniROM for our Vibrant!

I plan to continue to do this. Everything works fine! There may be some bugs, because OmniROM still young, and this - port!

I did it for myself, but I want to share with you.

Just sorry for my english - I'm from Ukraine. :o

How to install:

1. Factory reset,

2. Flash ROM;

3. Reboot.

After the first installation of Wi-Fi can not be included: a reboot is required! (- FIXED!!!)

Renewal is not, but if they exist - do not install! It can kill your phone!

When I installed it, Google Play already present.

I am not responsible for any damage to your phone, including for bricks! All responsibility for you!

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitinon327:
New N5 owner, coming from stock, unrooted GNex and rooted Nexus One prior

The two main issues I'm having currently are:

1) at LEAST once per day, my N5's power button does NOT turn the screen for the device on. The only thing I can do is hold down the power button to get a full-reboot. I've been trying to figure out what is causing this to happen. My screen time-out is set to 30-sec and I do NOT have a passcode/pattern set (only slide to unlock). No widgets on lock-screen.

2) for wifi connections that need to be authenticated with a username and password, my N5 is NOT remembering the info and is not auto-populating the fields. My Gnex would have the username and password both filled in whenever the authentication page loaded and all I needed to do was hit submit. On my N5, both fields are and the password is not being remembered. Not sure why this is. It remembers all of passwords for home router etc just fine, but authenticated wifi's with UN/PW are not being retained.

anyone else experiencing any of these issues?

additionally MINOR issue: whenever I update an app, the check box used to stay in the notification bar until I cleared it or opened the app. Now they are IMMEDIATELY disappearing. Is this a 4.4.2 Kit Kat thing? I'm using KitKat Launcher by KK App Team as my default (don't think this is the problem).

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DLCPhoto:
At least partly based on your video review, I went ahead last week and got the JLG Nano for my GN3. Went on nicely - no dust, bubbles, etc. Like you, I am extremely impressed with the surface of this thing. It definitely lives up to its name!

I monitored the huge thread about Tempered glass, starting even before I bought my GN3, and was tempted to go this route. But I was concerned about added thickness (the TPU holster/case I use is pretty tight to begin with).

This is probably coming off sounding like a commercial, but I have no connection, just a happy user. Should keep the display well protected, and basically duplicates the smooth glass surface it is protecting.
