What phone do you think is on the left?
[Moto X General] buschris:
I see two phones with Android NAV buttons on the bottom?
[Moto X General] aviwdoowks:
The latest pic, post 10.

BTW I upped a pic of the Razr M vs my X. The (left) M is brighter which allows better outdoor readability. The glare on the X is due to the factory screen protector which needs a replacement, fast.
[Moto X General] buschris:
very noticeable difference

Update

My X side by side with a Mini
[Moto X General] Darth:
You must have the worst luck I'm afraid. Mine looks like the one on the right.

Brightness is 100? It's not the screen protector?

Really strange. Maybe the Rogers 1058's just don't have that issue???
[Moto X General] aviwdoowks:
3 day old phone, the bright one in post 6!
[Moto X General] Darth:
The brightness slider is at max, and auto brightness off....for sure??

I never say this, but in your particular case....I'd send it back, tell them you're very disappointed and move on to a different phone. Isn't this your 3rd?

It looks like my 3 year old S2 screen. I could never live with that color.
[Moto X General] aviwdoowks:
The DE I just got, the bright one from post 6, I think has dimmed. I am waiting for a call back from the white glove dept.
[Moto X General] aviwdoowks:
4th. Pushing for a Maxx DE.
[Moto X General] Arak-Nafein:
I have no idea what's going on in this thread, and all the blurry cell-phone pics without any kind of white balance are not helping me understand. If you're on your 3rd or 4th phone, I'm inclined to believe it's not the phone, but your expectations. Tho, Moto cannot tell a customer that.

*EDIT* I've gone back & read through the thread a couple of times.

Stop comparing it to an iphone. The iPhone uses a TFT LCD screen, which will be brighter & whiter than the AMOLED on the Moto X.

The Mini also uses an LCD, same applies.

The Razr M has an AMOLED screen, and appears very similar to the Moto X in the provided picture. You say it's brighter, but it doesn't appear brighter, just less yellow. Screens will vary a little bit in yellowness, and you wont notice it unless you are holding the two side-by-side, like you're doing.

As for the yellowing mentioned, it's hard to tell due to poor quality of photos, but when dimmed, AMOLEDs do have a tendency for whites to turn yellow, and greys to turn purple. That's just how the technology is. Stop being so picky & enjoy your phone! AMOLEDs are more difficult to see in direct sunlight than LCDs, that's just how it is.
[Moto X General] aviwdoowks:
Thanks for the details.

I am just perturbed by the variability in screen brightness from x to x. I have found much brighter demos, at Sprint stores, than my current DE. And am getting a 5th (2nd DE) (3rd refurb) phone soon. Lol.
[Moto X General] :
I doubt they will get you a Maxx... They already upgraded you to a DE. If the screen isn't for you, you should move to a different device. No disrespect, but the screen is what it is.... Kinds sounds you plan on returning everything until you get your maxx. Which BTW, you probably won't get root on.

If you want root, I'd stay where you are, or ask for a refund.

Just my opinion. ;)

---------- Post added at 07:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 PM ----------

I'll bet next time they will say the same thing. Sorry, but if you want a refund, OK..... but that all we can do.
[Moto X General] aviwdoowks:
You anticipated right, they will only sent DE refurbished X's from now on. But I have handled Sprint x's that were OK. So I do like the x so much otherwise I will wait for a brighter reburb. At least they come from Moto & not some 3rd party that Vzw uses.:victory:
[Moto X General] gpgorbosjr:
It isn't as simple as "the screen is the screen".

The screens on the Moto X come in varying quality. I currently have a dimmed one that I just decided to keep because it was a replacement and I was happy I didn't have to pay for it/didn't want to risk doing another replacement and wind up getting charged. I had it on next to the old one before I sent it back and based on the screen it was like two different phones.
[Moto X General] aviwdoowks:
I saw a post that : Moto has used 3 different suppliers for screens.
[Moto X General] aviwdoowks:
Update : I got my 5th phone, a new DE & it is a little brighter than the 1st DE. Equal to the Maxx in brightness. BTW all returned DEs get refurbished to regular Xs & all DE warranty swaps are new!!

I have determined that the worst screen dimmness occurs on Xs that came with 4.2.2.
[Moto X General] kzoodroid:
Yep I got a new DE (manufacture date Jan 2014) on a warranty swap (manufacture date Oct 2013) and they shipped it the same day I ordered it next day air which was a shock. I didn't notice any difference in screen brightness between the two. I actually never noticed till now but the auto brightness setting is very dim. I only have a Nexus 4 (LCD) to compare it to and its auto setting is a ton brighter but once I boost the brightness on the X its comparable to the Nexus 4.
[Moto X General] aviwdoowks:
I finally persuaded Moto to swap my X for a Maxx! The screen is just not adequate in daylight. I thought it was as bright a the Maxx but not after having it for weeks.

Btw, The refurbished one they sent sure is packaged differently from the Vzw ones! I have always suspected them of being 3rd party trash. But I am not sure.
[Moto X General] noobsquared:
So, you're saying that Maxx has a better screen than Moto X? I am thinking about picking up a Maxx and use on AT&T since I love the features but miss a bigger screen.
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
Beware using the Maxx or the VZW X on Domestic GSM carriers...

If you search the forums, you will find that many users have reported strange issues using those VZW devices on U.S. GSM carriers since the latest updates. From all reports, they work perfectly or international GSM carriers, but users on domestic U.S. carriers have reported very strange signal issues (switching LTE > HSPA > EDGE), and not being able to call out when on LTE.
[Moto X General] noobsquared:
Funny how I read that Verizon Moto X on AT&T post right after this and noticed that he is running into issues like that. I wonder if that is fixed after 4.4 update on Ultra Maxx. Maybe it's just better to wait for X + 1..but who knows when it's going to come out and if any of the rumors are true. Thanks for the heads up though. It would be nice to see if 4.4 made it any better or not. :eek:
[Moto X General] aviwdoowks:
Much brighter. Not as bright as the Mini but outdoor viewing is now adequate.
[Moto X General] noobsquared:
Thank you. Now I just need to figure out how it would work perfectly on AT&T so I can pick one up :)
[Moto X General] xxBrun0xx:
Wanted to clear things up. Just picked one up to replace my moto x for use on at&t for the same reason, wanted a bigger screen and better battery life. Phone works perfectly right out of the box. LTE will not work on att because phone does not include the people radios. LTE will however work on T-Mobile, and these are the people having issues. Everything works perfectly on att. This is an incredibly good phone. It is what the moto x should have been, IMO. Here are a couple thoughts:

1. Speaker in the maxx is significantly louder than on the x. Surprised me because the x had the best smartphone speaker I had ever heard (except the HTC one).

2. Screen seems quite a bit brighter than the x. Also gets darker with stock auto brightness. Very happy with outdoor visibility so far!

3. Battery life is stupid on this thing. Tripled my screen on time.

4. Build quality seems better on the maxx

5. Phone is REALLY heavy. Like, the heaviest phone you've ever held. Way heavier than the note 3. Partially because the weight it very centralized whereas it is distributed in the phablets. But you get used to it after about a day and it makes the phone feel incredibly solid.

Bootloader is unlockable via PayPaling a Chinese dude. Seems sketchy,but really does work and is worth every penny to have root forever. I'd recommend doing that asap

I've owned a LOT of phones and this is IMO the best phone you can buy at any price point. It's the nexus maxx we've all dreamed about with all of the best features of the moto x thrown in for good measure. And they're actually cheaper than the moto x on swappa...
[Moto X General] noobsquared:
Time to post my Moto X for sale in swappa and pick up Maxx!! Maxx, here I come :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Duck:
I have the HT630.

Has anyone experienced the phone function of the TyTn to just quit working? Or maybe the speed dial and voice command to stop working? It seems to be real random, but I can power down and boot back up and it works for a while. I really haven't put a pattern to it yet, but I will start tracking the events as they occure.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikola1970:
Im going in America and i don't have adapter for their standards on my Z1 charger, but i do have on the old one which came with old phone St15i Mini.

Is that OK? Any advices?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve_max:
Just check the current it outputs. If it gives you at least 500 mA (same as a USB 2.0 port), it will charge your phone. If it gives only 100 mA, it will only charge the phone when it's off.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikola1970:
It is 500 mA and the Z1 original charger is 1500 mA.

Does this means that it will charge a lot slower? :)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonas740:
Yep, less ma will charge it slowly.

I have 2100ma chargers for everything now :D Quick charging I like
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k4ktus:
Hello guys,

Is it possible to flash from gingerbread to Kitkat w/o loosing the sim unlock ?

The problem is.. that the Sim unlock worked for me only on gingerbread (both cases was supposed to be original rom).

Tried about 3 times for each of the roms : JB, IC, KK omni, KK cm but it never worked the applications to unlock ( by Chainfire, by Helroz).

So, guys is there somehow possible to avoid to have to unlock it again after flashing ?

I'm really sorry in case this was somewhere already discussed and i didn't find.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k4ktus:
Bump, I don't like to do this, but also don't want to ask again same question.

Hope, i'll get this time an answer ( hoping for a positive one xD )
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knuckles1978:
I've never seen that happen before. I've flashed literally hundreds of ROMs and I've never had to sim unlock my phone again once.

Hi,

Coming from past SGS phones, I saw the option to mute phone rings while facing down.

For some reason, I cannot find this option on my SGS5; I also tried just to flip face-down the phone and it did not mute the ring.

Any tips?

Thanks.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pangolin.rollin:
Haven't seen any guides out for this model yet so here you go! I can confirm the latest version of motochopper works for v100md on stock 4.1.1. I would imagine other Envizen models are vulnerable as well. Known devices working with motochopper will be updated below.

SUPPORTED ENVIZEN DEVICES:

V100MD

(1) Make sure you have the device drivers

(2) Enable USB debugging

(3) Run Motochopper and follow directions

* Linux users must run as sudo.

Stay tuned as I may write custom xposed modules for this device as it seems there aren't any custom ROMs yet. Thanks!

I am not responsible for you bricking, loss of data etc... Try at your own risk.

I am not liking this tablet.

Hey there, I know that this is an old post, but I really need help here.

My inlaws bought this tablet and when i tried to switch it to ART from Dalvik it just get spitting out some "com.androidphone. something or other stopped working bug issue"

I have been trying to boot into recovery but for some reason it is completely.. and i mean completely.. gone. the only thing i can do is get into fastboot and adb if i reboot it and let it just sit.

So i was hoping that you had the stock rom for the Envizen tablet or perhaps by chance the custom recovery at least.

I have tried nearly everything that i can. I can't get root access so i can't pull the boot.img to make a custome recovery... its silly

please... anyhelp is appreciated.

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] darkfangex5:
Does anyone else here use the "Hidden" feature of the s5, where it can use various items as a stylus? If so what do you use? For example I have been using a #2 graphite pencil as a precise stylus with the snote app and it's pretty cool. I'm curious to find out if other XDA users use this feature because I just ditched my n3 after seeing and using it. Also as a side note I use the iloome flex and plastic body pens don't work. Metal body ones may scratch your screen protector because it might be a rough metal ball. I used a pencil after testing and they do not scratch the screen (it's graphite hardness of 1 :p) so I scratched my screen protector avoid scratching yours if you are going to test. Mechanical pencils (metal body) of .9 thickness work but don't let the metal lead holder scratch your screen.

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Hypercore:
I just got the Adonit Mini Jot in the mail a few days ago, I love it. Small, compact, only downside is the tip is so accurate it can snap off and be replaced and since its glass (see through) theyre hard to find. They do sell replacements though.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] darkfangex5:
Have you tried a standard pencil with the s note app? I found that with the snote note app you can use any pencil or mostly metal object when it's in app. But if you turn on extra sensitivity you can use the metal objects / pencils anywhere in the ui. I find it intriguing that Samsung doesn't talk about this feature but it's amazing. In short if you want to use a pencil stylus anywhere in the phone turn on extra Sensitivity, but if you only want it for writing the s note app is free.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] lurch0101:
I used their stylus almost 2 years ago and a quick peek at their website recently shows they released a few new ones. Let me know what you think of the mini jot.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Nedinu:
I completely agree. It may be my favorite S5 feature. I use a mini golf pencil and it works wonderfully. It is an amazing combination with the DraStic DS emulator.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] blackwrx02:
I read about this when I first got the phone but wasn't sure about the pencil so I didn't even really try it.

Well, I just did...and holy crap. That works REALLY well. It struggles with my E's, T's and I's when writing but drawing is phenomenal.

Now I have a use for that mechanical pencil that's been sitting in my pen cup on my desk for years lol

Thanks OP
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] justanotherasian:
this is amazing.

now all I have to do is learn to draw :D
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] darkfangex5:
:highfive:

Glad you liked it :)

Just be a little wary of the lead holder tips. For example the zebra mechanical pencils as they can scratch the screen or screen protector. I have yet to find my co workers 1.1 mm thickness full metal mechanical pencil to use as a stylus.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Nedinu:
Been messing around with a good, small solution and this is what I came up with. Bobby Pin + Butchered DS Stylus:

Plan to work on it a bit more to make a more elegant solution. Just make sure the blob at the bottom of the bobby pin fully covers the metal.

Do you still have a spare spen to test? I ask because I have a Ativ tab 7 with a spen and I was wondering if the nib was big enough to be recognized. I don't mean have a Wacom digitizer either, I just see others here are writing with pencils, so I was hoping it would be sensitive enough to recognize the nib of the spen too.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] darkfangex5:
I got one from my note 10.1 and sadly no it doesn't register. I found the best to be a 1.1mm thickness mechanical pencil.

I've had my GS4 caseless for a year now. The silver ring around the camera area seems to have taken all of the scratches. I can't find any scratches on the clear plastic that covers the camera module. To be fair, I'm pretty careful with my electronics. The worst I do is put my phone down on my wood desk. But it does seem that the ring around the camera module does a fairly good job of protecting it from scratches considering it's completely scratched up. I'm not sure if you'd even notice a problem in photos if the plastic cover got scratched since it's not part of the camera optics.

*UPDATE*

FOUND A CASE BY SAMSUNG SO YOU DO NOT NEED THE RECEIVER ON THE BACK OF THE BATTERY.

I follow this guy pretty much everywhere. I came across a video he had posted about wireless charging and I have to say its pretty awesome. After some tussling around the only problem I had was getting the position just right. Other than that.... it works GREAT! If you don't mind the mini bulge you only notice because you put it on yourself BUT i think they make special cases if you do not like it.

I don't mind it, I like to think it holds it in place. I do recomend the QI wireless charger (KoolPad). People have had reports of heating up but I have not an issue with it since I have bought it. I bought 2, one for work and one for home!

I also like it because it prevents the wear and tear of opening and closing of the bottom tab.

thanks Max !

I bought all my items on amazon and they all seem to be working just fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] SuperTek:
Nice, is the case rugged/durable enough to be used as a 24/7 case for the phone?

I haven't used the charging back case yet. I hear it is slightly bigger than the stock case. I ordered the QI pwd card and fits fine with the stock case. A little bit of a bulge hardly noticeable only to the person who owns the phone because you can feel it. it doesn't bother me because i like to think it keeps it in place and to be honest, i haven't had any issues.
