Can't help you there, no BT in my car.

But, I'm fairly sure it won't read your texts out loud if it's not sitting in a fairly upright and stable position. If it's in your pocket it should be fine.

---------- Post added at 02:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 PM ----------

Will have to check when I get home. But I don't think moto's settings are that advanced. They've been trying to keep it pretty simple.

---------- Post added at 03:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 PM ----------

The new X appears brighter to me when I manually set brightness levels to max. The new X is warmer in color, whereas the old X is cooler (so it's a bit more blue and less natural). Sometimes hotter temperatures can be perceived as "brighter," but "brightness" is often confused with light output. The old X to me looks bluer (hotter temperature), but not brighter (less light output).

Anandtech's review states that on manual settings the old X is brighter, but it doesn't look that way to me. On autobrightness they say the new X is significantly brighter, but that part I haven't been able to test. I might mess around with it tonight to see if I can photograph the autobrightness differences.

Either way, calibration is NOOOWHEREEEE near as bad as the old RAZRs. I don't know where you heard that, but they're 100% wrong. The old RAZRs had one of the poorest AMOLED calibrations I've seen.

As for brightness, as I've said, I can read my screen in full sunlight with polarized sunglasses on. It's a non-issue.
[X 2014 General] sogrady:
Not sure about the new model, but at least with the old Moto X this was not the case. As long as the phone detects movement akin to driving it will read texts out loud, pocket or no. It's one reason I have to remember not to turn off Airplane Mode when the plane is taxiing over to the gate; I've had it start reading my text messages out loud, from my pocket, to other passengers more than once ;)
[X 2014 General] lin013190:
Does GPS have to be on for that feature to work?
[X 2014 General] erikiksaz:
Here we go, figured out a way to test out the autobrightness settings that you can't attain through manual adjustment. Just put a bright light over the ambient light sensors, hah.

Pretty cool fiber optic-esque effect here.

I'd assume so.
[X 2014 General] jal3223:
Can I ask one last favor from you? Do you mind testing Sunshine that was just released to see if it happens to be supported to unlock the bootloader? Or did [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] already get back to you on your pm?
[X 2014 General] erikiksaz:
I'll take a look.

I haven't looked much into Sunshine (T-mo FTW, haha), but so long as it gives you a warning that it'll unlock before it unlocks, I'll test it.
[X 2014 General] jal3223:
Awesome. Yeah, it will ask for payment (25) if it is able to unlock the bootloader.
[X 2014 General] 0.0:
If you have the Pure Edition, you should be able to unlock the bootloader via command line

[X 2014 General] km8j:
Isnt pure already unlocked? Then we just need someone to achieve root....
[X 2014 General] 0.0:
Yes, it's carrier unlocked but bootloader needs to be unlocked via the user. After that, we need a custom recovery for root. The warranty won't be void when unlocking the bootloader

Sent from my Nexus 4
[X 2014 General] jal3223:
Yeah, the pure edition doesn't require anything special to unlock the bootloader. However, Verizon won't be getting one. Erikiksaz has a pre-release Verizon model and I was just curious if Sunshine happened to work on it. It is a shot in the dark but worth a try.
[X 2014 General] erikiksaz:
I looked over sunshine and one of the prerequisites for it is root, which I do not have. Sorry, bud.

EXTRA NOTE

One thing I realized after I went back to using my old 2013 X, the new X feels better in the pocket. Since the outermost edges are thinner than the 2013 X, it really reduces the feeling of a sharp edge in your pocket.
[X 2014 General] jal3223:
No problem man. Thank you for looking.
[X 2014 General] km8j:
How far are we from pure edition root?
[X 2014 General] BrokenWall:
Root is simple for Pure Edition.

We just goto Motorola's website and get the Bootloader unlock code. Flash a custom recovery and then flash the latest SuperSU zip.

So the only thing we need will be the custom recovery and root will be simple and easy. Give it a few days for developers to actually get the phone and you will probably get a custom recovery fairly quick. I ordered my new Moto X on launch day and have yet to receive it. Just relax.
[X 2014 General] km8j:
Not trying to pressure anyone. Just curious! No one will get their phone before Friday as that is release day

How much space is left?

Sorry if this has been answered already...couldn't find it anywhere. How much space is taken up by the stock ROM? I'm trying to plan how much of my stuff will fit on the 32GB model once it arrives. Thx!
[X 2014 General] hokiemoto:
Back of this phone looks curved without any flat spots -- If I use the phone on a flat surface (touching all over the screen), does the phone wobble side to side?
[X 2014 General] erikiksaz:
I forgot if the Oneplus is $350 flat, or if tax is charged, but realistically if you want a 32Gb Moto X it'll cost you around $150 more than the OnePlus. For people on a tight budget, it's a done deal, go OP. But with the X, you get the software experience, the better materials, better size (IMO, the OP is too damn big), and guaranteed updates through Moto, front facing speakers, EXCELLENT antenna. The X really enhances the smartphone experience, whereas most other phone manufacturers are competing in a specifications war.

It wobbles as much as the old X, which to me, was very little. If I had to guess, it rocks at MOST 5-10 degrees if you tap on the far left/right edges.
[X 2014 General] onthecouchagain:
How's the GPS? My Nexus 5 has a horrible time locking (and keeping) the GPS during Navigation with Google Maps.

The new Moto X any better at it?
[X 2014 General] erikiksaz:
Mine locks on fairly quickly, and so far has kept it locked.

My GF's M7 loses track fairly often, and the POS L90 I was using just sucked. I do remember my friend telling me his N5 had horrible GPS problems as well. So far he told me his new OnePlus is pretty reliable, too.

Bluetooth & driving

Thanks for making the effort to help the folks here. I wonder if you've had a chance to use it hands free. My old Droid X worked well at making calls while driveing without needing to look at the phone. That's something Samsung's Galaxy S3 & S4 have failed miserably at.

There's supposed to be an unlocked boot loader edition available, but I didn't see it mentioned on the Motorola site.

Thanks
[X 2014 General] phermey:
the pure edition is the one that will allow you to unlock your bootloader. and the hands free works great. it is a good bit faster than the old x and every bit as good as the old x at hearing what you want to say. if you have a loud car then it will have a harder time hearing you. i put my dock next to my rear view mirror. so it is only about eight inches from my face. i have an older car. it hears me pretty good (70%) on the interstate. and it is 30% accurate with the windows down. when at a light or something where the noise levels are down.. it is about 95%.

all i can say is buy the phone. you absolutely will not be let down. well... the camera might let you down a bit. but updates will come.
[X 2014 General] Saint Wacko:
This may have already been asked, but I'm curious about the personalized wake up command. Can it be set to anything, or does it have to end in "Moto X"? I've also seen some people say that it has to be five syllables. Is this true?
[X 2014 General] phermey:
anything and no. five syllables is what moto recommends to keep it from going off in normal conversation.

Just got my Moto X and so far I'm not receiving that wow factor yet. Can you tell me if I'm missing something?
[X 2014 General] P1 Wookie:
No
[X 2014 General] Radixtrator:
I think the Moto X is not about the wow factor. Its a phone that will probably never have a wow factor, because its not supposed to. Its just all around a awesome phone. Wow factors tend to wear off after a few weeks
[X 2014 General] alhadee12:
I probably should've stated things differently. It just doesn't seem like it offers much more than its younger sibling except the bigger screen and more pixels for the camera. I'm not a big picture guy, so that doesn't affect me. That's what I meant by the "wow factor".
[X 2014 General] 0.0:
camera sensor is better (it needs to be optimized though). having an antenna on the outside to have better reception (and to me it works) is important. a phone needs to be a phone first, and having tech to have better reception is always good. the dual ring flash may do something, but not too sure on that yet. i guess it's more the little things that makes the phone good. i don't see much gimmicks in this phone
[X 2014 General] alhadee12:
I agree not having gimmicks is a plus. I'm not a big picture taken got except of my granddaughter, lol. I just having experienced the right things to make it an upgrade. The screen along with the camera are more up front and noticeable changes.
[X 2014 General] 0.0:
understandable. it is different for every user. my n4 was dying on me, and the rumors of the next Nexus being a 5.9" phone turned me off. so the Moto X was the only option for a decent form factor and stock Android
[X 2014 General] alhadee12:
I think that's too big as well. I'm going to continue playing with it. I still have last years Moto X and I want to give the Note 4 a try. I've had the S5, OnePlus One, etc. It is very fluid and I haven't experienced any lag. We'll see.

Get some touch screen gloves. Samsung crap...
[X 2014 General] CZ Eddie:
I have six sets of gloves for different things including a pair of $170 race gloves. Should I replace all of them with touch sensitive gloves?

Anyhow, I have two sets of touch sensitive gloves. Neither of them work as well as a true high-sensitivity screen. You can also use CPU compound mushed into a glove but again....

I figured if the Moto-X had glove-mode then the new Nexus 6 might also.

Guess I'm likely stuck with Samsung being the only decent sized Phablet with touch-sensitivity.

Touch-wiz. :eek:
[X 2014 General] phermey:
the wow factor to me is the speed at which i am able to get things done. i touch... it responds. the old moto was not like that. it was nice and smooth... the majority of the time... but this thing is just fast. which is what i was looking for. other than that... it is an old x.

I reviewed the Moto X and used it for about a week with my own SIM. The battery is a ~200 mAh's underspec'd or stores about 8-10% less power than some comparable smartphones. I'm able to get through a full day and did not see a difference. I can imagine though in conditions at the edge of a 700 Mhz signal or heavy GPS it would run out of energy a little sooner.

How big the internal storage space is? I know there are 16GB and 32GB version. My question is about the total space assigned to the /system and /data partition, which holds installed apps.
[X 2014 General] nTrophy:
Okay, so when my 32Gb pure edition arrived it had 26~something Gb of free space available.

It'll most likely be less in carrier versions.

My file browser shows 24.3Gb total in internal storage & 2.6Gb in System Root.

Again the trigger question. At the 2013 Moto X we had a magnet trigger that initiates car mode or desk mode (depending on polarity). At the 2014 Moto X I'm unable to find it. Did Motorola took out this feature? How do we trigger car mode or desk mode?

That doesn't give an accurate comparison for how easy it is to use with one hand. The shape of the phone makes a lot of difference.

P.S I said S5, as in Galaxy S5, but thanks for trying to help :)
[X 2014 General] RyanS2000:
I think I may go for the moto x, though I prefer the notification led, if the screen is constantly flashing on and off for notifications I guess it'll do.

The phones selling point for me is plain android and the hand feel of the phone. My gf has the S5 and it just feels big and worst of all, it has touchwiz.

Id like to hear feedback from someone who has experience with the HTC one m8 and the new moto x. These are my two possible phones.
[X 2014 General] itsalexaye90:
I think it looks better in real life. Especially the leather backed-ones. The lighter wood colors (i.e. Bamboo) don't look as good to me.

It's been a while since I've used the S5, but as far as using it one hand compared to the S5, I think it's even easier to do.

I liked the M8, although it was a bit too tall for me (especially didn't like the power button on the top). If it comes down to the battery and camera, I'd say Moto X over the M8. Battery life is pretty similar on both, but the 4MP UltraPixel vs the 13MP camera isn't really close at all IMO.
[X 2014 General] darkgoon3r96:
Woah! Are you telling me that the Moto X lasts as long as the M8?!? Because the M8 lasts pretty darn long.
[X 2014 General] bia9977:
I've clocked M8 at 8hrs screen on. As for pictures they're not as bad as people claim they are if you play with settings a bit. Actually they are pretty good.
[X 2014 General] thomase00:
Does it still use the f2fs file system for the /data partition?

One way to find out is to download the Android System Info app:

Can you customize how often the active display lights up to show notifications? In videos it looks like every 10 seconds or so.

My gs3 has an always-on led so a quick look at any time I can see pending notifications. I'd hate to have to stare at my phone for 10 seconds waiting to see if I have notifications.

[X 2014 General] RyanS2000:

[X 2014 General] pipidae:
I'm confused. What is the notification light by the camera that op was referring to then?
[X 2014 General] RyanS2000:
I think he was lying or confused. I've watched many videos for this phone and not one person has shown a notification LED. It make sense that there isn't one--it'd be redundant with the active display system for notifications. I do wish there was an LED, though.

If someone wants to prove me wrong, post a picture/video of the LED.

Slow Motion Video

Hi, in this version is the slow motion captured in 120 fps and played at 30 fps or is just like last year's Moto X were the video was recorded at 60fps and played at 15 fps?

Also, in this video -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlnx7s5Vutc that is NOT a notification LED is just the proximity IR led being captured by the camera.

That is the same sensor that lit up on og Moto X whenever you made video of the phone. It is not a notification LED. Active Display, now the Moto Display is the only notification led/light/option. It also supports up to 3 notifications at a time from what I have seen in videos.

Off topic: Did you happen to have a yellow S2000? I knew a Ryan with yellow S.

attenuation?

LIke the iPhone, it appears the engineering and aesthetics department has designed this phone in a complete vacuum, without ever considering the fact that someone might actually want to hold it in their hand and use it.. They placed the antennas around the frame of the phone because it gives a 'feeling of quality.' When will they learn that holding an already miniscule antenna with one's non-medically clean hands severely detunes it and provides a low resistance path to ground? Do you notice absolutely abysmal signals when you get further from towers while holding the phone, but if you set the phone down, it works great?
[X 2014 General] J_Bone:
IIRC, from one of the reviews, they were talking about the phone being able to sense where you are holding it and adjust the usage of the antenna? I may not be explaining that exactly right but I remember a review mentioning the antenna and even said something along the lines of "like that other phone".
[X 2014 General] kamikass:
From what I've heard, that antenna usage auto adjusting can improve the signal strenght up to 500%. But that number doesn't seem real. Anyone tested it yet?
[X 2014 General] Fird:
That may help some, but even fancy beamforming electronics are still subject to fundamental signal attenuation from one's hand, just like any cell phone, hand over the antenna should reduce signal strength correct?
[X 2014 General] kamikass:
Depends on how works the tecnology developed on the Moto X. As mentioned, the whole metal body of the Moto X is an antenna, and the Moto X is able to track where you're holding the phone and use only the part where you're not holding to catch the signal.

Of course, there's logic on your thoughts, but I don't think they would make such a dumb mistake after the antennagate issue on the Iphone.
