note 4 nfc tags

soooooo nope they don't work,I had a Note 3 and the tags I used do not work on the note 4, confirmed by Samsung Canada..you need the Samsung tactile 2..can't find them anywhere..soooo I only use NFC to communicate between my old note 3 (given to the misses) and my note 4...and I thought only Apple did the scam to change everything a bit so you'd have to buy everything again...

Galaxy Note Edge sucks at reading tags

So I bought the Topaz 512 chips and I am having issues with them being read by my Galaxy Note 4 Edge. There wouldn't be a difference with the Note 4 and Note 4 edge would there? My phone does end up reading them but it takes multiple taps- like 6 or seven before it reads it. Does not really save any time, I usually just give up and do the NFC task manually. I do not know if I am doing something wrong or what. Anyone else experiencing this? My first thought is that I have Tasker, NFC Tools and an app called MyLog that all can write to tags, could it be that the phone doesnt know what to use? I never have any issue with Tap and Pay. Any suggestions?

[X 2014 General] lp1527:
I'm really struggling with this one! Would really appreciate any other users' experiences between these two specific devices.

I have both sitting here and here are my initial thoughts:

--Thought the ergonomics of Moto X would be far superior to M8 due to weight and height, but actually doesn't feel any better.

--Cameras are a tough call: X has higher resolution (obviously, with 13MP vs. 4UMP) but M8 is quicker, and seems less "noisy" despite lower res.

--Active Notifications on X are a great concept, but I didn't realize they're motion-sensitive. I have it sitting on the armchair of the sofa next to me, and every time I move even a tiny bit, the screen comes to life. A bit annoying.

--Love the near-stock experience of the X. Also REALLY, REALLY love Trusted Bluetooth Devices on X! This is huge. (I know this can be done via 3rd party app on M8, but not if you utilize a pattern lock).

--Biggest gripe: the AMOLED screen on X has nice, deep colors, but I find the classic AMOLED discoloration (warm, yellowish-green tint) to be highly pronounced and IMO, really pollutes and detracts from the entire screen experience. Especially next to the M8.
[X 2014 General] Hemotherapy:
Well, I don't have an m8 but have had an m7 for a long time. The only cons I can think of going from One to X are:

Only 1 front facing speaker

Amoled screen is amoled screen

Camera isn't as refined as far as ease of use, things like touching to refocus an area I still haven't figured out I just keep taking pictures...and agreed they can be grainy. But I'm one of those "I have an expensive DSLR that takes better photos" guys. If I'm going to a place I know I'll want photos of I bring it, if not the X will do.

No IR sensor for controlling things. Never really used it much for myself as much as I did to troll people at their houses messing with their stuff so that isn't a real con unless you like to troll.

Other than that the X is > in my opinion, but again I haven't had a 8 just a 7 not much changed so I still feel I can weight in on this.

Really just having moto assist is awesome. IIRC you can turn off moto display/actions (setting that handles hand gestures) so you don't have to worry about randomly triggering it while on the sofa.

The one thing I had to get used to was it acting like a notification LED. If I have one it will blink in and out slowly. Again it can be turned off but I'm growing to like it a lot.

Best part of all you already said. Near stock android experience!! With the promise of L shortly after it comes out! HTC will get L too but not til they reskin it, etc etc so X will get it faster and its still stock...soooooo...
[X 2014 General] busixb:
I currently use the M8 and had the original X last year. I've owned the M8 since day one but am switching to the Moto X 2014. It has to do more with the originality as I'm customizing mine and the value adds Motorola builds into their software. Trusted Devices, Moto Voice and Display not to mention the Assist just were icing toppers. I believe this device well get software updates quickly like previous model and as recent outlets have demonstrated, the Moto is very durable. Battery life should be fine from posts I've seen here and my experience with the original X. I think Motorola does something with their governors to put the device in deep sleep quickly and ramp up CPU by anticipating with the sensors. It's a looker for sure and though I will sacrifice stereo speakers, Motorola for an exceptional job with call quality and service reception.
[X 2014 General] ref1ux:
I have an M8 and my Moto X will be here in the next week hopefully. My main worries going to the X are worse speakers and worse battery life. Both are excellent on the M8.
[X 2014 General] Wutang200:
Apparently the X speaker is almost on par with the M8's twin speaker setup. Very crisp sound and hardly any distortion. The reviews have all said the speaker is excellent.

I hate HTC Sense UI. It can be confusing and comes with extra stuff like Blinkfeed that I don't really like and am unable to uninstall.

Also the M8 gets updates much slower than the X.

The build quality is superior on the X. They did a bend test video comparing it against other models and they said the X had the best build quality.

M8's camera is slightly better though especially in low light. The aluminium body feels really nice too. If I had to buy one, the first thing I'd do is to get vanilla Android on it but it would void my warranty and require root.
[X 2014 General] ref1ux:
I actually think Sense is the best Android UI out there. Even better than stock. More features, better design and more consistency over the whole thing. Maybe L will change that. However, the wait time for updates is probably gonna force me to sell my M8. Shame but 2.5 months just to get the 4.4.3 update is way too long.
[X 2014 General] redsox 98:
I'll chime in. I had a m8 from release and while it is a great phone I prefer the x. I like the feel in my hand more. The way the glass curves into the phone is amazing and much MUCH less bezel on the x feels more polished. The camera from just testing for a week on the x is better but not miles better. Sound is on par a bit tinny but loud and full for the most part. I prefer a stock ui to a skin so that is a huge plus. Being on Verizon we don't have a nexus and honestly this is a real REAL close second. Now the bad about the x. Battery. On my m8 I could go an easy day. With the x I gotta be close to a charger at the end of a work day. I am a heavy user so your mileage will vary for sure.
[X 2014 General] onthecouchagain:
How do the speakers fare between the two? That's the real question!
[X 2014 General] 0.0:
L is the actual release that has the UX very consistent, even more than KitKat. finally there is some consistency. i think L will look better than Sense when it releases
[X 2014 General] d.cortez:
i agree with your thoughts on look and feel. i also like the slightly larger screen. I use 2 devices, the M8 for work and the Note 3 for everything else. i'm going to use the X as a work phone for 13-days and make a decision to keep my Note 3 or return the X. if the X came wth 64GB storage or had a microSD slot, i can say for sure the Note would be relegated to the phone drawer or eBay.
[X 2014 General] marvin02:
I found the M8 too tall, too heavy, and too loaded with both carrier (AT&T) and HTC bloat. The top power button was a PITA. I went back to my 2013 Moto X. The 2014 X has a bigger screen than the M8 in a more ergonomic, better looking, and smaller package.
[X 2014 General] crawlgsx:
Exactly the same feelings here, also spent most of my time between the M8 and new Moto X with the last Moto X. The One M8 is beautiful, as is Sense 6, but it just isn't nearly as pleasant to use.
[X 2014 General] ai6908:
I have a M8 and X 2013.

Screen in M8 is absolutely beautiful. From that I have heard X 2014 screen is not anywhere closer to M8. That might be a deal breaker for me.

I do absolutely hate sense. But sense 6 is not too bad actually. Sense have come a long way last few years. However, I still prefer AOSP launcher.

Battery on M8 is huge compared to X 2013. I dont read that X 2014 is anywhere close to M8. That might be a deal breaker as well.
[X 2014 General] jc332986:
Traded in my M7 for the Moto X. The X has much better radios.

[X 2014 General] eksasol:
How loud and clear are the speakers between the M8 and X?
[X 2014 General] roaringcrown:
The M8's speakers are the best of any smartphone on the market. Nothing else comes close in clarity and bass reproduction.
[X 2014 General] Note10.1Dude:
I guess it depends what is most important to you. The only M8 I would consider is the GPE, and the difference in price from the X would not be worth it.
[X 2014 General] mikeydoodles:
I'm a bit late to this, but I thought I would throw in my 2 cents. For the record, I haven't received my new X yet (still being built) so the Moto X stuff I'm going to say will be based off reviews mostly and my previous 1st gen X. I have owned the M8, but I sold it to buy the Moto! If you're looking for awesome battery life, the M8 has the moto beat...I would finish the day (12-15hrs, moderate use, rooted using CleanROM) with 40-50% battery left. I have a feeling that the Moto won't get anywhere near that, nor do I even expect it to. I prefer OLED display much more compared to any other technology, the X is far superior to the M8 in that respect (personal opinion). I also had a problem with the backlight of my M8 becoming seperated from the LCD and causing a lot of bleed through on the bottom. Moto Voice and Active Display are far superior to the swipe actions you get with the M8, as far as ease of access of the phone. Sound quality of the M8 is amazing if you're an audiophile, both headphone and external speaker quality. The X has stock Android (almost), which is always a plus! You'll get L a lot sooner than HTC too! Also, from my experience, the duo camera on the HTC is pretty lack luster...I mean, it looks pretty neat physically, but the pictures it takes are mediocre at best. I'm not really expecting the Moto to be better, but I kind of expected more from the HTC.
[X 2014 General] CBMC:
If you are on Verizon, then at this point in I would get the m8. I am struggling with this now. I want a phone that I can switch roms and root. I have unlimited data so I am "stuck" with Verizon. I also like the m8 having a sd card slot where I can store 64gb worth of video /music for a $30 micro SD card. I don't like amoled, on my past phones I have had bad burn in. That all being said, I can't justifying buying a 7 month old device that had to last me 2 years. Hopefully Verizon wows me with something that is also unlockable or at least root able.
[X 2014 General] Darth:
I've only briefly played with a 2014 X, and own a 2013. Now I own an M8....i have to say, the M8 blew me away and still does comparing to the 2013 X and N5. It's an amazing machine.

I can't compare everything to the 2014 X..... But they are probably close in many aspects.... Except battery life. I get 24 hours with 8+ screen hours on my M8....and from what I've seen in the battery thread here, the X doesn't touch it there.

One other thing that would make me lean towards 5he M8 is that development is booming. I doubt the X will get very busy comparatively.

So weigh your needs and wants and decide what is best for you. ?

---------- Post added at 08:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 PM ----------

And lots of stable Aosp for the M8. With double tap to wake included.... Without battery drain. Bonus. ?

---------- Post added at 08:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 PM ----------

Both unrooted.... Battery is probably the only big difference.
[X 2014 General] kertong:
Just chiming in - I've been using a silver HTC One M8 for a while, and just switched to a 2014 Moto X with white front, black leather back, and dark gray trim.

What I'll miss from the M8:

- the cool, smooth metal touch when I first pick up the phone

- the stereo speakers. sound quality is comparable between the X and M8, but having stereo really adds another dimension of enjoyment to media consumption.

- SD card - I had 128GB microSD card stuffed full of movies, tv shows, music, and books. I loved always having this with me. Unfortunately as there is no SD card slot on the X, I ended up buying a meenova microsd card reader that plugs into the usb port on my X, and I can carry it on my keychain. Since most of the time when I'm watching movies/tv on my phone I'm on a long bus ride or airplane, or staying somewhere overnight (i.e hotel or so), it's not too much of an extra hassle to pop the meenova out of my keychain and plug it into the X.

- low light performance: as much as the camera gets ragged on, I found it to be pretty capable in low light. The resolution is lacking, but the colors and tones, are excellent, especially in low light. the dynamic range was poor, though, highlights blew out really easily. And the lens cover scratches super easily. While I prefer the X camera to the M8 in 4/5 scenarios, the low light aspect I will definitely miss.

- the configurable quick settings menu is nice.

What I love more on the X than the M8:

- while the premium "hand feel" experience is comparable in both, with the M8 having the *slight* edge due to the mostly metal, rigid, flex-free body, I gotta hand it to the X for matching the M8. What the X lacks in the "cold stiff metal" feel, it makes up for with the gentle ergonomic curves, the mostly bezel-free display, the side power button - and if you get wood or leather as a back, your phone feels organic, and more "human" oriented, rather than cold soulless aluminum.

- Active displays - I don't think I really need to say much here.

- As much as the amoled gets criticized, I love it. Colors are bold, pop well, and I love how dark and inky the blacks are. Using the M8 after the X, the colors do seem more accurate, but at the same time seem washed out, like it has a whitish glow behind all the color pixels diluting saturation.

- Android on the X is pretty damn close to AOSP. Sense 6 is nice, but it still feels like there's a layer between you and the OS, and there's some interface bits I don't like (the nav buttons, no gradient for the nav bar, settings menu looks different, etc). It was like a breath of fresh air going to the pure android experience on the X, coming from the sense 6 M8. I tried GPE on the M8, but you miss out on so much (no pictures to SD without xposed, sense camera missing, duo features are only accessible from the camera app but not the gallery, etc).
[X 2014 General] Citznfish:
I was trying to decide between the X and the M8. What finally sold me on the Moto X was the smaller bezel and the near vanilla Android experience. I briefly had a 16g with leather but returned it and ordered the 32g instead. Supposedly it will be in my hands on 11/10. (Ordered it 11/2)

Unfortunately not yet, but hopefully soon!

[Themer General Discussion] fotosintesis:
Thanks a lot for the reply!

Having that kind of feature would boost ur name alot among the other launcher..

Even if ure able to let the other 3rd app to intergrate from within :cool:

That would be pretty cool
[Themer General Discussion] villa_bryan:
I'll wait for this too.

The app is great, and I think it'll be amazing out of beta.

All the fancy stuff it does is great.

I'd love to get into this program and make tons of themes but some these basic problems really turn me away.

I guess I can wait for this wallpaper thing to work but weather really turns me away.

Also the inability to set multiple locations kind of sux too.

I wish android also separated cell and gps location so that i can always leave at least cellphone tower location on.
[Themer General Discussion] ThemerSupport:
Hi,

Live wallpapers might take a while, however we can help with multiple locations.

If you long press on the widget - Advanced - Unlock widgets. Then long press again on the widget and select Configure. This will open the Themer Zooper Widget configuration menu.

Next select Location and select the "+" icon. Input a new location and select save. Add as many as you want.

Now go back and select the Layout option and navigate to the module you'd like to configure (such as location or temperature). Scroll down and select Override Widget Locality, then choose a location.

Go back out of everything and wait for the widget to refresh. Now long press on an empty space and lock your widgets again (or via the Themer menu if there is no free space).

Good luck! Let me know if there's anything else you need!

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wileout:
You want to let your battery completely uncharge once in a while so that it can calobrate itself and get you better battery life
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sfreemanoh:
That was true with nickel cadmium batteries, though from what I'm reading online, not true with lithium-based batteries, such as the M8 has.

"Similar to a mechanical device that wears out faster with heavy use, so also does the depth of discharge (DoD) determine the cycle count. The shorter the discharge (low DoD), the longer the battery will last. If at all possible, avoid full discharges and charge the battery more often between uses. Partial discharge on Li-ion is fine; there is no memory and the battery does not need periodic full discharge cycles to prolong life, other than to calibrate the fuel gauge on a smart battery once in a while."

DROID RAZR M KK BL

ROOTED & BL UNLOCKED
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyanROMz:
The JB builds have been typically (according to most of the feedback I have read), much more stable and less problematic.

THe KK build is still a longshot choice when it comes to stability, some people it works great with 1 or 2 minor issues (best case), for others it reboots and crashes all the time.

Try KK, YMMV, and if it's problematic for you, use a JB based ROM. It's all about testing and experimenting.
