My previous mobile Samsung S+ i9001 was able to work for at least 2 days without charging, but my new Moto G 2014 works for 3 days! I'm so happy.

I usually use Whatsapp, Viber, K9, xabber and listen to music a lot (Apollo). I don't use facebook though.

[Xperia Z3 General] hackmaster:
Greetings..

I have just switched from a iPhone 5s to the Xperia Z3. Having been an iPhone user since the 3Gs, you can imagine that I might find using this new phoen a little strange..

I just wondered what the general view was and how many iPhone users have converted to Android?

I must admit, I really like what this phone has to offer but do miss things like FaceTime and iMessage.. is there no way iMessage can be introduced as an Android app?

Not a real question or anything just generally wanted to know what you guys thought...
[Xperia Z3 General] CandyAndy:
Hi and welcome to the world of Android. I personally made the jump years ago and never looked back. Granted there are some things that might need some time to get used to.

Your question related to facetime or imessage implies that you are from USA. In Europe that wasn't so big deal because everybody here uses whatsapp, no matter which operating system they are using. Google does have hangouts which is basically google's response imessage and while it is possible to get it on IOS also I doubt that many will use it. And because apple wants to keep everything closed there will never be imessage for Android. I suggest try using WhatsApp, that's a really good multiplatform alternative.
[Xperia Z3 General] hackmaster:
Hey

Thanks for the quick reply. No I am from the UK, but my entire family and friends circle are iPhone users, this is why the facetime and iMessage were important.

not to worry I am using Telegram at the mo, I already have WhatsApp but started using telegram as can use it via the PC and Mac too.

Thanks again for the feedback
[Xperia Z3 General] Ultraman1966:
Welcome to the new world, hopefully you can guide your friends and family to see the light; that there are alternatives and even WP8 phones are worth a try.

iMessage is proprietary software of Apple so, unlike Blackberry, which has launched an Android app for its service you won't see iMessage on the Play store till hell freezes over. Also, facetime is just video calling, right? Well you can use skype and lots of other alternatives but I understand the advantages of having one service everything and everyone.
[Xperia Z3 General] j0ff:
Hangouts is cross platform and is basically imessage and facetime all in one app. Get your iPhone friends to install hangouts.

Sent from my Sony Xperia Z3 Compact D5803
[Xperia Z3 General] abhinav.tella:
Hangouts is awesome, with a plugin for it on Chrome PC version I can get calls and see SMSs directly on my laptop. Just make sure you add your cellphone number to Google Voice.
[Xperia Z3 General] Mity85:
Just my 2cents:

My first Android phone was the Samsung Infuse (dumb down version of the Galaxy). It was quite big and back then, when Jobs was still around, the size was mocked. My first iPhone was the iPhone 5 and I really enjoyed the free texts and facetime feature. The downside was the lack of customization like Quick Settings/Notifications like Android. But my GPS and app integration was better in iOS compared to Android, even for Google Maps (I don't know why, I just like the iOS version better).

I just go the Sony Xperia Z3 as well and man it is gigantic compared to my iPhone 5. Unlike the iPhone, I can only fit it into my pocket and nothing else along with it. It feels weird. I'm going to be selling mine on Swappa. Apple made a mistake IMO. The iPhone 6 should have been similar in dimension to the iPhone 5 and they should have let the iPhone 6 Plus satisfy demands for a larger phone. However, I do like how Android has evolved. It makes iOS look stale in comparison.

Unless you're a really heavy texter or make frequent use of facetime, I think you'll enjoy it, unless like me, you don't like the dimensions.
[Xperia Z3 General] Mity85:
Perhaps but I thought it looked too thick. It's a give and take world. Just when I think Apple is going to catch up to Android with software, they blow it on the hardware side with the iPhone 6.

Time for new entrants into the market:

[Xperia Z3 General] se1000:
Z3 Compact is only 1mm thicker than a iPhone 5s. I'd be surprised if you could tell the difference. I too think the iPhone 5s was one of the best phones Apple has ever designed.

http://www.phonearena.com/phones/si...ne-5s,Sony-Xperia-Z3-Compact/phones/7710,8744
[Xperia Z3 General] Mity85:
You're correct. The other reason why I chose the Z3 over the Z3C was the Z3 was aesthetically pleasing. The Z3C looks like a miniature brick but the Z3 looks refined and beautiful.

[Xperia Z3 General] subhani:
Great decision mate. You will love the fact you paid less than the equivalent iDevice but for a handset that can do more. Apple no longer holds a monopoly on good looks and I think they failed in design when it came to the current crop of devices this year. The Z3 is a strikingly better looking and feeling device IMO. It will be the small things that will add up but also make a huge difference on their own. The permanent back button is a good example instead of reaching for the top for many functions n the iphone. Better notifications, discreet notifications, actionable ones, all clear or single clear. A brighter display and a darker one at night. You'll love the battery life, a staple for most Android devices for a long time. Better sharing capabilities and more intuitive share options from all apps. More power using many apps for e.g. on dropbox to create, edit and upload and change files on the fly. Unlocked NFC usability, true bluetooth sharing, waterproofing, hardware camera button, EXCELLENT digital image stabilisation, two hour app refund window no questions asked, etc etc etc. Better audio in some respects too!

You will affix the phone screen protective film to protect it?

Yup
[Nexus 9 Accessories] gdatuk:
Considering that I have a 3 year old brat and a big fat slippery hand, yes I would definitely put on a screen guard
[Nexus 9 Accessories] Pilz:
Yes I always have one on every device that I own. I prefer tempered glass, so lets hope that someone makes one thats good quality for it.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] Gormsen:
Nope, haven't used screen protectors in more than two years. They take away the premium feel of the screen. Gonna get me a case though, since I will be carrying it around in bags an such ;)

[Nexus 9 Accessories] mkygod:
Anyone tried one of those spray-on screen protectors?

I remember linustechtips did a review on one with impressive results. I think it was called Liquid Armor.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] Rage1ofakind:
Tried that Crystal spray on on my phone, did not notice any difference. Phone still got scratched :(.

I won't be using a Screen protector on the Nexus 9, currently have the tab S 8.4 and i use it without a SP. Screen feels so much better without that plastic on top.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] MadMax:
I am not one for film screen protectors, but I do like the glass screen protectors
[Nexus 9 Accessories] mkygod:
I guess the good thing about a glass protector for the Nexus 9 is that you don't have to worry about the sunken button effect that you'd get on an ipad.

Are there any for sale yet for the Nexus 9 ?
[Nexus 9 Accessories] MadMax:
Actually someone just showed me this earlier and I ended up ordering it today

[Nexus 9 Accessories] mkygod:
There's several hands-on videos that comment on how much glare the Nexus 9 puts out. You think any of these tempered glass screens could help reduce glare?
[Nexus 9 Accessories] MadMax:
No idea..... Most likely will not but you never know...

Also the glass screen protector has been shipped as of this morning
[Nexus 9 Accessories] ombadboy:
I had the same question too.. The only company that claims to have anti-glare coating and a tempered glass screen protector is BodyGuardz. I talked to them earlier and they had no plans to release a Nexus 9 version, nor they have a UK presence.

Also, I havent seen many out yet (which makes sense) but there are a few on amazon. I was wondering if you came across any 'good brand' tempered glass screen protectors I can order now and hopefully will also help in reducing glare.
[Moto 360] 640k:
So let me start by saying that I only got this watch because of xda. I really wanted the watch, was holding out and finally bit the bullet and I'm happy I did!

Am I the only one that feels like an idiot trying to actually understand the functionality of the watch? Some things don't seem to make sense (too many clicks) but once I'm there, I love the features.

Please help me feel like less of an idiot!

Is there a way to swipe home when you're 20 deep into the Google Now cards? The only solution I've found is to hit the button on the side.

Is tapping the screen the only way to access the "apps" on the phone?

Are there any shortcuts for getting to settings or other information?

Do the Google Now cards ONLY appear when there's a notification? If I clear the weather/traffic, I can't get them back. On the phone, I can access that info "any time"..

I would be ok if this thread grows with more questions and turn it into a FAQ. I will edit my post as they become relevant.

Thanks for the help!
[Moto 360] Sfkn2:
1. Not sure about this one, but I've been wondering as well.

2. You can say "google now," then tell it to start a program. For example, I have find my phone installed, so I'd say "start find my phone" to access the app.

3. I use mini wear launcher, which brings up the app settings by swiping from the main screen.

4. The cards reappear every time you use the voice command. IE: "What's the weather right now" would give you the weather card. "Show me my steps" would give you the pedometer. "How far am I from home" would give you an ETA to home (also works with work).
[Moto 360] 640k:
Thanks! Is it possible to prevent the screen from coming on when a notification is received?
[Moto 360] vansmack:
Voice commands are the shortcuts. Tap the screen and say "settings" for example.

Same issue here cept I can get into download mode. Had safestrap NC2 4.4.2 Over 4.3 Rooted. But It just chain reboots into recovery. I'm debating to just start over ( don't want to) But I wonder if there's another fix.\

**Update**

I found a workaround.

Pull the battery put it back

Then Press and hold power/home/volume down to go into download mode then Cancel it to exit and it should boot as normal. Piece of **** boot loop :) You can then Select in safestrap in the OS to reboot into recovery then it will try and be stuck in the loop again. Then pull the battery then put it in download mode again then cancel and it will boot into the recovery where you can wipe/etc.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RomsWell:
For everyone running nc2 firmware. The stock recovery (sammys recovery) is broke. Booting into nc2 recovery will start bootloops. If you do. Pull battery put it back and boot directly into dl mode then cancel and the phone will boot like normal. For those of you on nc4 firmware (latest ota) if you flash a custom rom and get the blackscreen trying to boot you will need to reboot to download mode and odin the nc2 kernel. Then reboot and it will fire up.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vPro97:
Unroot via SuperSU or go back to stock using the "How to get back to Stock GUIDE". The latter is preferred.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vishal11in:
Why you want to unroot let it be rooted. Root has many advantages.
[Micromax A116] kapilmahawar:
After the installation of new ROM (KitKat) is have face this problem of not able to write or delete stuff from internal sdcard (sdcard1).

So i have found a solution and it is as follows:

1. Launch your favorite file manager with root access rights. You can use any app you prefer which can run elevated on your device. For example, the 'Root Explorer' app or 'File Manager' from CyanogenMod will do.

2. Navigate to the following file:

/system/etc/permissions/platform.xml

3. Find android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and android.permission.WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE lines. These are XML sections. You need to make them look exactly like the strings below:

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
</permission>
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
</permission>

Save the platform.xml file. It’s necessary to check the file permissions to (rw-/r–/r–) before mobile restarting.If they are already set to that then reboot your Android device. You are done.
