[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Andromjb:
Are you on a strict return policy for the phone? I would wait it out if that isn't your concern.

Motorola is very quick to resolve issues. The phone has only been on the market 4 days.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] C101:
Came from an xv6800, also known as the HTC Mogul/Titan.

The new phone is a bit of a step up...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] fishflies:
I will get full refund within 14 days. Probably wait until then although I don't want to take an OTA that patches an exploit.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] my2cents:
I had a Droid Razr Maxx. So far, I am enjoying my new Turbo. Fingers crossed on root!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] alhadee12:
What's the things that really made you decide to take it back?

---------- Post added at 09:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 PM ----------

I have the Moto X 2014, I'm thinking about giving it a try. But I also wasn't to try the Nexus 6.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] fishflies:
See post 31. I haven't decided for sure yet.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] geoff5093:
I feel the same way about the Turbo coming from the G3. I love getting new phones, but the G3 is so new still some areas feel like a downgrade.

Sent from my Droid Turbo
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Cobra04:
Hah one huge step up if you ask me.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Andromjb:
If you are not happy with the Turbo, just return it.

I haven't personally owned a G3 but I have spent time with one. The G3 UI is pretty atrocious and the screen contrast is pretty horrible, not to mention the screen overheat issue which is just weird. I couldn't use a phone with buttons on the back. But those are just my opinions.

But doesn't it have lower end specs all around too (minus QHD display)? Explain to me how the Turbo is a downgrade...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] geoff5093:
The camera is important to me, and unfortunately the camera on the Turbo, while an improvement from last year, is by no means competitive with current flagship phones. That, and the poor wifi performance and no simultaneous voice and data.

Sent from my Droid Turbo
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Andromjb:
Camera is important to me as well. The front camera on the Turbo blows away my S5 camera by far. The S5 front shooter is really bad. I also take way better shots in low light over my S5 & outdoor shots are on par. To me, coming from an S5, the camera is easily better.

The trick is using it properly. Most people haven't a clue how to operate cameras. Point and shoot will only get you so far no matter the specs.

Not sure what wifi issues are as I've had no issues there and that can be fixed with an update.

The simultaneous voice and data isn't a deal breaker for me, but that is an actual valid point & I can see that being a problem for some.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] geoff5093:
I agree, the FFC on the Turbo is excellent. High quality and very wide. I consistently get 5-10dBm lower signal on WiFi, I don't really see this being a software issue though.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] lowg:
Do you mind elaborating on this? I felt like my Galaxy S3 took better 'point and click' pictures. This is my only real complaint about the Droid Turbo, and it is a big one for me.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Andromjb:
I meant to post software update(s) in the latter. Rushing response on way to work, hehe.

Also, I'm not trying to argue with you. I'm just trying to get a collective from people so I can compare pros & cons as I have 14 days (now 9) to return if needed.

So I appreciate the feedback.

---------- Post added at 01:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 PM ----------

I've never personally owned a GS3, so I cannot comment on that cameras performance. However, I have owned both a GS4 & GS5 (just sold GS5 on Swappa) and they produce horrible pictures in low light situations. Super grainy, blurry, & distorted.

The front facing cameras on GS4/GS5 were pretty awful as well, very washed out pictures. My camera experience on Galaxy phones has always been disappointing overall. Don't get me wrong, they can take great pictures outdoors, but as soon as you step inside it's game over.

Here are some sample shots from Turbo that I find to be well above average:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/awmaxham/sets/72157648649197199/

I plan on personally testing the camera out more thoroughly over the next three days, but the initial snaps I took on day one of ownership have definitely produced some great pictures overall without much effort.

I will say one thing, the stock camera on the Droid Turbo is not the best on white balance & focus exposure. I prefer to use the Google Camera App. It will produce a much better picture in most cases.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] lowg:
Thanks, but was hoping more for any basic settings that would help. Looking forward to hearing about what you think spending more time testing it out.

I was just poking around that stock camera app and turned off Auto HDR and turned on the manual focus feature. I really prefer the Samsung's camera app touch to focus / icon to take picture though. Trying the drag to focus / touch to take a picture coupled with the very slow shutter is making it tough take a good quick impromptu picture but I'll try it out more.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] DoctorB0NG:
This phone is a massive letdown coming from a G2. Does anyone know if I'm able to exchange the turbo and get back a G2? Both the G2 and turbo are through Edge.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] jaben2:
Not sure how the edge program works but, I and from the g2 as well and to me so far I like this way better than my g2.

I was always trying to use aosp Roms on it though, but couldn't deal with the constant problems. Plus I would always miss calls and have to cycle airplane mode to make calls after leaving the building I work in. So far none of that with the turbo.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Andromjb:
Samsung's camera app definitely has more features albeit too many. But I do think that Motorola or the Android/Google stock app needs to focus more on creating decent camera software. It's really the only thing they are lacking right now.

Just the ability to focus or lock focus on a target and then have the ability to adjust the exposure on the fly would vastly improve the quality of pictures.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] y0himba:
Don't take this wrong, but coming from the Droid Razr Maxx HD, I am not floored. Sure, I love the slightly larger screen and better performance, but it somehow feels bland. Didn't really knock my socks off.

The launcher is EXACTLY like Apus launcher, which I cannot recommend enough. I had just started messing with it before I received my phone today.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] El Perfecto:
Coming from a Razr Maxx HD. God do I miss Smart Actions.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Coronado is dead:
Have you tried Tasker? Much more versatile than smartactions.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] rlb81:
Torn...

I have a Samsung GS4 which I'm not loving. I could live with it until contract end (another year) if I were able to flash AOSP roms, but I'm not lucky enough to have the correct bootloader version. Played with the Turbo last night in store and it seems solid.

I can early edge to the Turbo without increasing my bill since I'm on 10gb data plan, but some of the current Turbo issues I'm reading about make me unsure. I'm also unsure of taking the leap in faith that we'll eventually get root or ROM options. I might also wait out the Nexus 6 and see if VZW will extend an early edge option for that phone, but I'm guessing no since they'll push the Turbo during the holiday season. Decisions decisions! I miss the open days of my Galaxy Nexus.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] bennyficial:
Coming from the LG G2 and do not miss a thing. Thought the capacitive buttons would be an issue but I appreciate the extra screen estate. (Don't really use xposed, I know it was possible on G2 but I like to keep my things close to stock). Everything just works right out the box: Good 4g/wifi for me so far, GPS is fast, call quality is fine, audio is fine after turning off the equalizer, speaker is actually quite loud since its front facing. Pictures seem good so far, something about the G2 auto settings made everything look cartoonish (I know I probably just had bad settings, used xadebbs xcam.) IMO Droid Turbo has been a MASSIVE improvement. I can tell the speed difference and the battery life is definitely better. (Not quite the 48 hrs but we shall see in a few cycles). My $0.02
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] El Perfecto:
Couldn't figure out how to get announce calls and texts to work in tasker.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Coronado is dead:
Moto Assist does this now. At least mine does in the car.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] El Perfecto:
Certainly does and at home as well. Oh, do you use Tasker and Assist? Assist appears to want me to leave high accuracy location settings on all the time (i.e. gps). Among other reasons, I liked Smart Actions because it could use specific connections to wifi networks as a means of location detection. It was a big battery saver. It also worked really well for many tasks that I'm sure tasker can do. It's just that SA performed well and was relatively simple to set up and tweak.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Coronado is dead:
Indeed I do. I find tasker to be less of a battery drain when not using the GPS. I know assis needs it though. I use Tasker based on location (cell or GPS) and wifi / BT connections.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] DoctorB0NG:
I don't see how the battery life of the turbo is better than the G2. My G2 used practically no power during idle and my turbo loves to suck battery when it's not on.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] bennyficial:
Might be because my work has terrible reception. I always leave wifi and data on (location off till i need it) but turbo has lasted me about a day and a half where MY G2 dies at the end of my shift. 9AM-6Pm shifts but different devices/settings get different results. Just posting what happened for me. (both were charged to 100% overnight and I start using at around 7AM).

Turbo: stock everything, (disabled the useless apps)

G2: Xadebbs stock (best ROM I ever had. Stable and good battery life but for me hasn't matched the turbo)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] driscoll42:
Coming from a Droid DNA. Improvement in every way. The commute to work would drain my DNA down to 70%, Turbo drains down to 90%. My wifi and LTE are faster (yay XLTE), the whole machine is snappier as a whole, the screen is nicer. I kind of like the extra heft and weight of the device. Speakers are much nicer. Haven't tried the camera yet but I assume it's better too. Going from 16 GB to 64 GB is a nice perk too.

The only downside right now is that I miss some of the features of my custom ROM. Here's to hoping someone managers to unlock the bootloader and root it!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Jinxess:
Not only Smart Actions but MotoCast (which is being discontinued come New Year's Day) and a simple mute button for the camcorder. :crying:

Oh and coming from a Droid RAZR MAXX, not having a simple menu button instead of the damn useless "recent apps" button is seriously annoying. I never used that function seriously on my RAZR MAXX and now I have a useless button next to my home and back button. :mad:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Juliann826:
You can make the "recent apps" button a "menu" button in the settings.

settings > display > and check "Use long press for menu"

makes it so when you long press recent apps the current menu comes up.

I, personally, love the recent apps button and use it way more often than the menu button. Especially when you can have one button have 2 different actions, I think it's perfect.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Jinxess:
Ah, thank you! Yes, it was checked by default. It does help. I'm so used to having a menu button but I have noticed, where necessary, each app is designed to now have a "menu" button on the app itself now on the Turbo.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Blaster1984:
Hello guys,

Do yall think is it worth it to get the galaxy note pro 12.2 or wait for the 2015 edition?

Thanks! :D
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] GMAN1722:
And when is that coming out? Do you know for sure that there will even be a 2015 edition? If you are interested in not staying in a perpetual hold pattern waiting for the next tablet, you can look into this: http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...-through-ebay-daily-deals-for-389-99-260-off/
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] rfs830:
I just bought mine from that deal. 390 for the Note pro is a great price. This will hold me over for a while. If I want the next new Pro tablet, I will just wait for another good refurb deal again
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] muzzy996:
Value is a subjective thing so only you can decide whether the wait is worth it. Given no details on release dates or specs, it's anyone's guess what is coming when.

Root of your question is whether or not the Note line of tablets follows an annual refresh cycle. For that one has to look at the history of the Note 10.1 line (for which I am unfamiliar).
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Blaster1984:
Honestly I dont know but we all know that every year Samsung is realeasing a new product. But i get what yall saying thanks a lot

Sent from my LG-F400S
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] ShadowLea:
The NotePro isn't exactly a line-up as much as the Note or S line-up is. At least not yet. There's no way to know if there will be a next one. (If they do make one, I hope it's with sAMOLED...)

This one was announced in January. If we haven't heard anything by February, it's probably not going to happen.

But truthfully, other than the sAMOLED screen, a new version will have very little to add in terms of hardware. The S805 isn't such a great improvement over the S800, and since the Note 4 didn't come with 4GB the NotePro isn't going to get it either.

I really hope they continue making 12inch. I rwally love this size but it doesnt seem to be popular
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] treetopsranch:
I bet it will be super popular when MS finally gets around to releasing a Android version of their Office products. That way the college kids will use it. (and I would sure use it for that too)

[General Questions and Answers] andromeda9:
Hi,

I normally have my XDA Orbit set to be updated by my PC's setting. However, if I am out and about and enter an appointment in my XDA it get's wiped when I connect to the PC.

I preferred 3.8, but 4.2 is required.

Unlike version 3.8 of ActiveSynch version 4.2 does not seem to offer a prompt if two items conflict. The only options appear to be either 'replace the item on the pc' or 'replace the item on the device' .

Does anyone know of a solution?

Thanks

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonyfiore75:
So, this thread has 2 purposes.

1) I'm sort of confused as to when AT&T is supposed to get this phone. It just says "Coming soon" on their web site. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem waiting. I just dislike the mystery of it all. Most people are talking about the Nexus 6 release on the Play Store, which seems to be an enigma in and of itself. But how is there no clear indication when it'll be available on AT&T (or Verizon or whatever)? Why even put the web page up if everything is such a mystery?

2) I'd like to use this thread for someone to post (including myself) when they DO see that the Nexus 6 is available for pre-order or just plain order. I keep refreshing the page like a dope (don't worry, it's not manual) and I wonder why I'm even doing it. Is the pre-order page going to magically appear one day? Does anyone have an estimate as to when? Or should I just drop this whole pre-order idea and just go in the store sometime later in November?

Okay, that's all. Any comments are welcome.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtalum:
T-Mobile is officially not doing a pre-order. I suspect the same is true of all carriers, even if they haven't announced that fact.

The rumor (with some convincing back-up) is that they'll be available to order outright from carriers next week. We'll see if that's true.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eep2378:
At this point I'm starting to think that carriers are not going to do preorders and just sell it when device is in stock. Hopefully around November 12th like we heard with some of the other carriers.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonyfiore75:
Well I stopped in an AT&T store today just for the heck of it and asked one of the techs there if he knew anything about a possible Nexus 6 availability date. He said he had no clue. 'Just a lot of rumors right now". He said he's been scouring the Internet for more information.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyan~:
i work at an att store, and i try my best to learn EVERYTHING about the upcoming nexus 6. but we only get official information pretty much the time you guys would, with a few exceptions. nothing so far.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattMJB0188:
Maybe somebody can enlighten me here. I do not see the point of buying this device through AT&T? I mean unless you want a contract or next. Wouldn't it be smart to buy it completely unlocked via Google Play? Will it be the same version? I know AT&T locks down all of their bootloaders.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyan~:
its not hard.

contract or next: you decide to stay on att because you are satisfied with their service. you have the option to pay a 199.99 (rumored for subsidized) or 53.62 (sales tax for next) for the device with a plan for some time (2 years). you are content with the phone itself, you do not feel the need to unlock administrator privileges.

unlocked: you like to hackzor the romerino bootloaderino and jump around between carriers for your amusement and 649.99 is chump change to you
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pokedroid:
Not all bootloaders. M8 is fully unlockable through htc's official website. S-off does require some hackz but it wouldn't even be possible if at&t didn't show us to unlock through an official channel
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2phonejones:
Keep us updated. Thanks for letting me know I need 53.62 to get mine whenever they release it :D
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EniGmA1987:
I am planning on buying mine from ATT on the Next 12 simply because I dont have $650+tax to spend on a new phone right now with Christmas coming up. Also I need to actually use my Next upgrade every 12-13 months to make it worthwhile, otherwise the cost of having Next actually costs the same or more than buying the phone outright or on a 2-year. Whereas if I upgrade every 12 months I only pay $400 for a phone, instead of $600+ for a normal price on an off contract flagship every year. Makes sense to me saving $200 a year. But if ATT locks the bootloader down so that I cant simply do a "Fastboot OEM Unlock" or have an unlock method available right away then I wont be buying the ATT version. Having a locked Nexus would just be heresy.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGeeZus:
I work on Customer Care (Call Center) and pretty much all customer-related info are revealed at the same time that AT&T as company acknowledged publicly, although some of us are trying our best to give actual information (and trying not to speculate like some other AT&T depts have been doing unfortunately and personally I feel ashamed about it), so bear with us that has NO control on information and why AT&T does not give details.

Keep in mind that this is the first time for AT&T for the Nexus brand and probably the prefer delay that screwing up.

---------- Post added at 10:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 PM ----------

I believe that although not a complete privilege as Apple, AT&T might let the exception that Google and Motorola handles all direct updates on the OS side of the device so no worries here.

Bootloaders locked are really common, even the previous Nexus devices did came with bootloader locked and just with proper acknowledgement that you WILL LOSE your warranty, Motorola, nor Google CANNOT deny root access to the device, but might resverse the right to look into your reason on why you are requesting a unlock on the bootloader (ALL THIS assuming all follow HTC's policies on customer registering as developers to request the bootloader unlock).

The other advantages is the AT&T Next in which gives you a economic "relief" until you are ready to pay completely the device or sacrificing two years for have the device under a special price.
