So through a whole of problems with the GS4, and a little stroke of luck, I happened upon a Moto X 2014. I must say, the phone is smooth as butter. But I still feel like something is missing. My battery isn't a great feet, my camera is poor at best. The phone however is the fastest and smoothest I've ever seen an android phone. It makes me melt. But after using the LG G2 which I had for 2 days before this....I miss it comparatively to this. Just as fast, much larger battery, beautiful screen. The Moto X doesn't even have a "power save" feature, and that would at lest be helpful. I almost want to wait for the Droid Turbo, but by then my 14 days would be up. I'm just not sure what to do. So my question to others.....Are you happy with this device? or would you switch, given the opportunity? If so, to what?
[X 2014 General] svtfmook:
In happy, if the camera was better, I would be happier, but I'll hold out for L in hopes of improved camera performance. If not, I have another upgrade in April, maybe grab a turbo if it doesn't look as bad as it has in the leaked photos.
[X 2014 General] ChristianPreachr:
I'm think off going back the LG G2. The camera may be the breaking point for me.
[X 2014 General] crawlgsx:
I don't take many pictures, but the ones I have taken have been fine. On par with a majority of the smart phones I have owned except a few that were above average. Most of them are just "meh" and any difference is still not great so I just don't let it get to me. If pictures were priority I would still be on the Lumia 930 hands down, or maybe the iPhone 6 plus, but not most of the Android handsets available that's for sure.

Overall I love the phone though. It just a great phone to use and really when it comes down to it that is what matters. There are things that could use improvement (screen brightness, camera, battery life). But none of those factors are BAD, just not exceptional. I get through a day with ease and the screen is fine except in bright sunlight. The phone makes up for it with a great feel and ease of use. Its super fast and fluid, and little things like ActiveDisplay just make it all that much better of an experience. Of all the phones I have owned in the last year (a lot) it is the first one I feel content with and not pining for a new phone (which is rare for me). I am excited for Android L :).
[X 2014 General] Cody994:
I love my Moto X. I too came from a Galaxy S4 running CyanogenMOD and this is so smooth without having to do any tweaking whatsoever. I've had this phone for 11 days and I already try to wave my hand over other people's phones and expect it to just turn on when I pick it up. These may be new features I can't live without.
[X 2014 General] Mister Moore:
Short answer....best phone I have ever owned

I came from the HTC One, HTC One M8, and LG G3. Also had the Nexus 5 as my daily driver before leaving it for LG G3. ... This phone trumps them all (still use m8 for low light photos)

The bad......nothing really. The camera and battery are decent enough.....just nothing to brag on.

As far as performance....nothing is close. So smooth...so fast.....so fluid.

The phone screen looks amazing and the stereo headphone jack is provides the best sound I have heard outside of the HTCOne.

No phone is perfect.....but this phone came very close
[X 2014 General] soundneedle:
I think it's too top heavy and not comfortable to hold. Maybe cuz I got leather and have a subconscious fear of scratching it or something. Ultimately, its fate w/me is doomed due to no root on verizon.

I'll give up the X if nexus comes out on verizon.
[X 2014 General] MikeVaughanG:
This is the only downfall for me as well. I want gravitybox so bad. Just for the PIE controls so I can hide the nav bar. That extra screen real estate along with the one handed reachability would make this phone perfect for me.

I don't care about the camera quality, not a big deal for me. And the battery life is sufficient for me.
[X 2014 General] 0.0:
you'll be happy that L will bring this:

1. power saver built in

2. native code for camera stuff

3. project volt, which is supposed to help in battery

4. ...and much more

right now, there is nothing on the market that I want. so no, i would not switch. next year, maybe
[X 2014 General] FLUFFYMANGOES:
after a week or so of using its okay. battery life sucks, i dont care about the camera, not sure why but many apps crash on it more than my nexus 5, and i can barely just barely see some hiccups/lag when navigating through the homescreen and some apps :( ill wait for android L tho
[X 2014 General] cam30era:
Do you have ART enabled?
[X 2014 General] sbtm1337:
This phone is not top heavy, the center of its mass is right in the middle of the phone.

Just balance it on the index finger and you will see.

Best phone I used so far as well. But I never had any flagship devices before. Just a last years moto x, moto g, galaxy i9070... and an HTC one m8 as a phone for work, that's it.

But I saw many friends struggling with flagships while I was enjoying my moto x 2013.

I gave the HTC one m8 back to my boss and use the mx2013 now for my work and the mx2014 for private uses.

The mx2013 gave me an excellent experience, so I had no other choice than buying its successor.

BTW I hated the m8 even compared to the mx2013.

If Motorola doesn't **** it up, I'll buy their devices for a long time.
[X 2014 General] Faruko:
I could not be happier :)

Battery life could be bettet but ive yet to run out of it after a full day of work
[X 2014 General] ChristianPreachr:
How do you enable ART and what does it change? I assume this is the ART vs dalvik thing?
[X 2014 General] cam30era:
It's in developer options. Don't enable it. Several users have reported an increase in force closes.
[X 2014 General] Restola:
It's a bigger, faster, smoother moto x. If you liked the 2013 x but wanted something bigger, this will make you happy.
[X 2014 General] robstunner:
I like it, originally I let all the negative reviews get to me and even went back to my nexus 5 for a day. Then I realized how much nicer the moto x is. Its a great well rounded device. Unlocked bootloader with full warranty in tact, good camera, decent battery life, fast updates, near aosp and other great specs. Oh, and every time I'm on the phone I can smell wonderful leather lol.
[X 2014 General] jmtjr278:
Unlocking the boot loader on the pure edition does not void the warranty? I have heard it does not but not sure.

sent from my 2014 moto X
[X 2014 General] robstunner:
That's what I read from the Motorola feedback network administrator, he said they are "treating the pure edition like the 2013 Dev edition."
[X 2014 General] 1xmattx1:
I love it, but I am interested in seeing what the Turbo and Nexus 6 bring to table, especially since it'll be on VZW. That being said, jumping to 5.2" from 4.7" was noticeable, can't really imagine carrying around 5.96"...
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotcha640:
Hello Forum

I'm trying to find a replacement for my s4, and looking at the G3. I'd like to know what you give up when you root/rom this phone. I understand the Sony Z3 camera software is lost, and can't find any specific mention in my googling.

Also, I understand some/all LG apps are not cracked. Anything that kills the features that make the phone special, or typical mfg bloat? I can't bring myself to accept stock.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vivasanti:
Rooting i think you only really lose OTA - flashing a custom ROM, depends on the ROM, you may lose some system apps and the LG widgets but thats about it.

Custom ROM's are still in there infancy just now on the G3.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotcha640:
Any comparison of pre/post? It's a pretty significant issue, especially considering the G3 is being touted as the best android camera at the moment.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crzygrmn:
I wouldn't go that far. The camera is OK but z2 or z3 are better. The only down side to z2 or z3 is 16gb build in storage.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] if4ct0r:
Like it's been said before, you'll lose OTA with root, but remaining on a stock-LG based ROM will let you keep all the features.

The downside to moving to AOSP that I can see is losing the stock camera app itself.. The hand gesture to take selfies from the front cam is really neat & useful. Aside from that I don't think there is much to miss from stock software.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jeuk:
Hi,

I've noticed that sometimes after rebooting my MDA Pro some SMS are missing. Usually the once I had received within about 2hours of reseting the device.

How long should I have to wait before they are saved to a more permanent storage?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] niketkumar:
usually it never happens that it deletes it by itself even i have never heard abt this b4 . Did u upgraded it recently or ne other sms software installed ,that might b the reason for it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dbarker348:
I have the exact same problem... very frustrating! I just have the plain O2 software installed on my Exec, but any texts I get within about 30 mins of resetting just go. I heard it takes a while so put them in the permanent memory - why is this? Anyone know of a fix?

Davey
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jeuk:
Good(?!?) to hear its not just me. I've had the problem on every version I've had installed.

A fix for this would be great!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Menneisyys:
I've quite often elaborated on this problem and the solution to it (see for example http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=898&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 ): make sure you entirely power down (simple suspending won't suffice with a Phone Edition device) the PPC BEFORE (or, instead of) resetting it. It will make sure the changes are flushed back to Flash ROM.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hotbot:
I have read somewhere in this forum that this can be solved my switching of (button at the left) and again switching it on before doing a soft reset. I didn't try it however.

Would it be possible to re-install it someway, or fix the error message?

Galaxy Trend Lite - How To Enter CWM recovery?

Hi, I've tried to enter CWM but still not have succes... phone enter in android system recovery that had signature verification activated and i cannot root my device... sorry for my english, can you help me?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PowerOfTwo:
I've bricked my Opo. The story:

I rooted the phone in July. The bootloader was unlocked, TWRP 2.7.1.0 installed. I made two updates (last was CM11S 33R) then I encrypted the phone.

Yesterday I wanted to update to 38R but wasn't able to mount data part in TWRP. Because nothing happened when I tried to make a factory reset I decided to format the data part. That was my fault because then TWRP told me then that there was no OS any more!

Ok, then I started fastboot and tried to flash the new version of CM11S onto the device, but fastboot told me that the phone wasn't unlocked so it can't copy the file.

Fastboot recognised the device, so I tried to unlock. The input "fastboot oem unlock" gave back an OKAY, but "fastboot oem device-info" told me:

<bootloader> Device tampered: true

<bootloader> Device unlocked: false

<bootloader> Charger screen enabled: false

I can try to unlock the phone again and again but it changes nothing.

The device has no OS. I can boot fastboot and TWRP but nothing else.

I hope so hard somebody can help me!

have you tried anything from this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/help/fix-brickloop-audio-fx-fc-efs-corrupt-t2879061

Sounds like your EFS got corrupted to me. The fact that your device boots into Fastboot says that you still have hope and its not really bricked. Bricked would be at the point that the device doesn't even turn on or boot into anything.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Artelier:
Hi, just a question that I couldn't quite find the answer to.

Is it safe for me to switch between AOSP, GPE and Sense ROMs if I'm S-On with unlocked bootloader? I remember reading before that you can convert to GPE RUU which adjusts the partitions but you need to be S-Off to do that and just flashing a GPE ROM wouldn't do it (and I can't remember/find where I read it from). I'm not so sure about flashing AOSP (interested cause of the new BMFR ROM by mrjaydee) and switching back to a Sense/stock ROM later on.

Basically, can I switch to an AOSP ROM and then back to a Sense ROM without issue?

Details:

S-On, Unlocked Bootloader

Stock -> ARHD 11.1 -> Sinless 3.6.0 -> Elix-R 1.2.1 -> Elix-R 1.2.2
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsho31:
You're good as long as you don't convert to GPE. Flashing the GPE roms are fine but full converting is what you don't wanna do in your case. Just flash the sense/aosp/GPE roms normally.

I have a weird issue. I am running 4.4.2 and today I started having what I believe may be a battery issue. My Note will only run while it is plugged into AC. This led me to belive that it was a battery issue, but then I discovered something weird, it will run on battery in recovery. I am hoping that this is because the rom puts more of a strain on the bad battery. Anyone have any ideas?

Can anyway tell me how to update from 4.0.4 to 4.4.2? I just bought a rooted s3 and I unrooted it back stock with odin back to stock 4.0.4. It has always had a custom 4.0 rom running on it so it has never run anything above 4.0. I would like put the stock 4.4.2 firmware on the phone and leave it stock. If I flash 4.4.2 in odin will it be a problem with the older bootloader? Thanks to Anyone.:o
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
I'm almost sure you have to update to each version before you can move on to 4.4.2. If your bootloader unlocked based on your Android version why would you want the locked bootloader?

Try to reformat your sdcard. But save what you want BEFORE you format.

boot loop issue

EDIT: Resolved the issue. Pretty sure its unrelated to the rom. Experienced a faulty power button that causes the phone to continuously reboot last year. Thought it went away since i used the power button fine past couple of months, but guess its resurfaced. Jiggling the power button and using an app to power off the phone helps band-aid the issue.

I flashed slimkat 7.0 and gapps about 2 weeks ago following the instructions on the slimroms website using CWM. It's been working great until today where its fallen into a sort of boot loop. I didn't do any major changes to the phone in the past few days so not sure what prompted this since it was working perfectly before. But now every 2 min, it would reboot without warning. During those 2 min, the phone works fine. Please let me know if there is anything I can or should do.

Thanks!

Bluetooth in car doesn't work for Skype, Viber, Hangout Calls :(

Hi experts!!

I've flashed SlimKat d2lte build 7.0 5979 on my Galaxy S3 (T-Mo) T999 and everything just works great. EXCEPT for these 2 issues:

1. Bluetooth in car doesn't work for Skype, Viber, Google Hangouts Calls :( Normals phone calls over the network connect perfectly fine.

2. When placing calls over Skype, Viber or Hangouts, the phone makes just 1 ring (albeit showing "ringing" on the screen) but the call connects just fine and I can hear the other person then (ie. the call is placed successfully). The other person confirmed that the call keeps ringing Skype/Viber/Hangouts continuously until answered just normally. But I hear just one outgoing ring and then silence!

I hope I've not messed up some settings somewhere. Pls help!
