Battery life (even though I'm still tweaking it)

Nearly vanilla android

great screen

no hard home button

super fast and smooth

size is good

Coming from a GS4 which I never really liked. I was missing my Galaxy Nexus goodness! I think the Turbo will serve me for quite a while as long as we get the bootloader unlocked.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] civiksi:
I love this phone. I have had zero issues with it so far. Coming from an S4 this thing is amazing. Still learning stuff about it
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] valeh78:
Hopefully hibiese more forums to help us repair certain errors
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ahaynes42:
I was so happy when Cyanogenmod made on screen navigation buttons with the correct android layout an option. I can't stand that Samsung has switched them around from what Google intended. So in all, this has been an easier transition for me than most Samsung owners.

Here's a picture of my S4 with correct navigation buttons, taken with my Turbo.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] akaashprasad:
This is so true..
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] tomkins0752:
I absolutely adore my Turbo. I nabbed one in Metallic Red on release day.

It took a few days for it to really break in, but on my last charge I had 4 hours 15 sot and 44 hours unplugged with 15% left.

Near vanilla 4.4.4 really helps, the display is wonderful, and the bundled turbo charger is a plus.

I just put the tempered glass from Verizon on it and now I don't even want a case. I surely don't want to hide that brilliant red.

If I had to complain...uhhh...probably just about the usual Verizon bloat and the 1 1/2 hours I had to stand in the Verizon store before I actually got it.

Seriously, people need to just let the phone settle for a few days and the battery life becomes epic. And this is with using bluetooth all day with either music streaming in my car or with my Moto 360.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mandygirl:
1) Yes, the turbo charger is insane! I just wish I had 7 of them throughout the house like I do with the old micro-usb chargers :)

2) The screen *IS* gorgeous! Even with the hard plastic screen protector that VZW sells. I needed this because my purse is a war zone! :)

3) I am experiencing varying success with the battery. Perhaps I just need to train it better :(

4) I haven't played much with it. I have voice in my Durango R/T for things like dialing, so I really haven't spent much time doing the Ok Droid Turbo thing.

5) Yes, actually, wow... They still call it motoblur, but it's really almost just android!

6) I use a kate spade case with nice little dots :) But that said, when I go out I remove the case because the increased size makes it impossible to fit into a normal sized wristlet :)

7) See above! The size, without case, is totally perfect! It fits into most of my wristlets!

I also love the speed! It's so much faster than my old S4 was... even after I had to do the FDR on it after the last VZ update!

Sure, I have a few issues with the device... I'm trying to get used to the motodisplay for notifications... meh... And now that I understand what's going on a bit better I think I can start to enjoy it :)

I also wish that I could call and data at the same time - a feature that both my Droid 4 and S4 had.

I also wish that they still made cutting edge phones with slide out keyboards, but I guess that's never going to happen again :)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] distortedloop:
I think it's an amazing device.

The only thing I don't like snit it is the ballistic nylon. It must feels scratchy in my hands. I could probably stop that feeling by moisturizing my hands. LOL

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] zathus:
First, most of these complaints are from the same people over and over and over. They're just really noisy about their dislike lol

Love moto voice! That mixed with Tasker is insanity. Ok turbo, turn off my TV! What the f lol that's awesome

Love the front facing speaker. Coming from the g2, its nice to have something I can hear

Ballistic nylon is beautiful! My only concern is how well does it hold up. I actually had a small fray next to the camera. but I just blasted that with a lighter real quick. No biggie

Though the signal on paper does seem worse than other phones, what it doesn't that signal is pretty impressive. I get much better streaming of videos with a lower signal than I do on my other phones

The size is perfect. Just right for one-handed operations

2 year 1 free broken screen replacement? That's pretty amazing.

I'm going to get bashed for this one, but I really like the camera. Its slow but the quality is pretty good.

I'm very used to double tap, but it's way more convenient that when I reach for my phone I just have to reach for it and unlock it without doing anything else using the active display. Then I just have double tap to put the phone to sleep.

Haven't really put the turbocharging to the test because I haven't gotten the phone low enough to need it. That last a full day easily, easily! And I have a wireless charging pad next to my bed. Don't think I've plug the phone in yet lol

Overall I'm extremely pleased with the phone and cannot wait for lollipop. I'm already used to not having root. It would be nice but I can definitely live without it
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] timmyd463229:
Anyone that had a "phablet" have the turbo? How do you like the size of this compared to your old phone?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] rajuabju:
I've had the phone since the day after release.

I use my phone HEAVILY.

Constant Exhange sync, gmail, + 3rd email account, lots of sms/mms, google play streaming in the car, internet browsing, and sync with all my variosu apps (evernote, facebook, linkedin, twitter, drive, dropbox, etc etc etc). In short, I'm on the phone all day long.

I've NEVER had a phone which could last an entire day.

My day starts around 6am. Ends 11pm.

at 11pm, I've consistently been between 20% to 30% left on battery. its utterly amazing to me.

I truly am in love with this phone. Just give me simultanious voice/data and it'll be perfect.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mikera67:
Had the note 2 and 3, this is perfect size, you'll love it, much easier to carry around, and even big enough for my old eyes
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] sickboyy:
I came from the Note 2 and it is nice being able to operate my phone with one hand again [emoji1]
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Denvertoad:
I had a OnePlus I sold before picking up the Turbo. Loved the OnePlus it was easily the best phone I've ever used. Except for the size. It fit nowhere I needed it to. Not in the cars cupholder, not in my arm band at the gym, my pants pocket, my shirt pockets or cycling jersey pocket. When out with friends it either was laying on the table or i left it in the car.

Turbo, perfect size in all respects. YMMV
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] jaben2:
One thing I really like about the turbo is the charge time. Huge battery once I get all the wakelocks figured out. This phone is going to be amazing.

Just in case some of you haven't been looking in the accessories section. Verizon has a car charger that activate fast charge. I picked it up two days ago and tested it for a moment and it does work.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] civiksi:
HAHA. Time to get some calluses on those fingers bro!

I still thing this phone is amazing. Normally I'm never in the general and Q&A sections because its full of *****ing. Come on Android development! But in reality this is probably the first phone I'd be content with not flashing a rom. I'd like root for removing bloatware. And I'd love some tethering but that's about it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] timmyd463229:
I just seen a video on rootjunkys YouTube page showing a way to uninstall all the Verizon and amazon bloatware on the turbo without root

The calluses and dry skin are the problem, they catch in the fabric like Velcro I suspect.

Thanks civiksi for the links. The batch files worked and my Turbo is bloat free!

Another kudos for the Droid Turbo. What a great handset! No complaints at all. Having fun along with it being a fast and productive device. :good:
[LG G Flex] dannejanne:
OK.

So I'm going to sell my G-Flex. I thought I would just flash it to stock with my .tot file that I have used before. Bad idea it seems when I had custom recovery installed (TWRP).

Now I have a phone with only TWRP on it as LG Flash Tool just wiped and did not flash when it noticed the custom recovery. So now I don't even have fastboot just the recovery. So I can't install the stock recovery as I have no fastboot.

However if I enter "backup" in TWRP it shows only my data is 0mb. The rest seems normal with a /system that is 1690mb and modem and cache seems present. Just no data.

My situation would be better if I had a backup? Well. I don't anymore.

Is there an obvious way I have missed that can fix the phone easily? Tried flashing the MIUI ROM for starters (even though it's missing /system) but I always get error that it can't mount /data , /mpt and /storage and I count mount them in the settings in TWRP.

So all I can get in to is download mode (which I can't flash my .tot from now) or TWRP that is the only thing that boots automatically at every boot.
[LG G Flex] Geners:
I had the same problem last week when I tried to install a custom font through Rom Toolbox. ( I was boot looping and could not get computer to recognize device in download mode. Could only get into TWRP) Unfortunately, I had no backup through TWRP that I could restore.

I was finally able to get my Flex up and running by downloading D-Fuse's stock 4.2.2 zip to a flash drive. ( A piece of advice... use a download accelerator on your pc. Otherwise your download could take HOURS. I used "DAP")

I then plugged my flash drive into my phone using a USB OTG cable. Mounted the USB/OTG In TWRP. And flashed the zip from there.

I'm now running smooth. You'll have to re-root and run Freedom Flex again to install TWRP as the stock zip will replace your custom recovery with the stock one. Make a new backup in case you have more issues in the future.

Hope this helps.
[LG G Flex] dannejanne:
Thanks I'll look into it when I get home from work today. Though I have no flash drive for it nor cable.

I can ADB my phone while in recovery and push ROM files to the sdcard. Problem is that I have pushed stock ROM zip 4.4 and tried to flash but it always fails to mount data and mpt for some reason when flashing. Not sure flashing from USB would make a difference.

I know I have myself to blame but this phone has given me a few headaches. I'm just tired of it and might as well cut the loses if things gets too complicated as I plan on using my Nexus 5 anyway from now on.
[LG G Flex] dannejanne:
No matter I fixed it just now. It worked to flash with LG Flash Tool this time. I changed its "action mode" from upgrade dl to board dl and it flashed just fine. Felt a little adventurous there for a while.
[LG G Flex] mattwheat:
I have never had an issue with the flash tool writing over TWRP. But try the LG PC Suite software your phone loaded on your PC. Or download it from lg.com. and open it then at top select mobile devices. Put phone in download mode and then under mobile devices select option restore upgrade errors. That has restored my phone the last 12-15 times I've f#$ed it up. It doesn't seem to have an issue regardless what is modded or added to the phone. Custom recovery or not it works great for me. And youll be unroofed stock out the box with the latest version as well. Bit it will reformat your whole phone. Erases everything. So hope you've backed up to PC already.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haefftig:
Edit:

solved it. Updated the fire tv to the newest version and after that i could open any xbmc installation.

Hi guys.

I just received my FireTV today. Unfortunately, I'm at FW 51.1.4.0 so i cannot root my device as far as i know.

So I went ahead and got the "Amazon FireTV Utility App" and tried to sideload xbmc/spmc and kodi onto my firetv. I tried different versions (13.1, 13.2, 13.3.3, and 14.0beta) and even tried to install it on the firetv via android sdk platform tools. The installation works with both methods, but whenever I try to start xbmc/spmc or kodi, it goes into a loading screen, then the screen gets black shortly and after that im back in the apps menu. When I try to start it again after the initial start, the screen is just black for a second and I'm back in the applications menu.

Any ideas what the problem might be?

Hey everyone :fingers-crossed:

I am proud to announce my latest game is available now on Google Play. I would love your feedback!

Here is a quick 30-second trailer of the gameplay

[YOUTUBE]watch?v=9qiIPVKFF7U[/YOUTUBE]

Originally inspired by the classic windows game SkiFree, I wanted to make it a little more fast paced and intuitive, and blend in some of that rage-inducing Flappy Bird kind of difficulty. The game features all original pixel-art graphics and audio work that is reminiscent of Super Nintendo games of the 90's.

It is in soft release at this point, but I would really love to hear some feedback from the XDA community before trying to market it, since you guys know more about android than anyone out there.

Here are some screenshots:

My phone constantly deactivate the sound settings - and then I manually have to reactivate the settings again. It is mainly the "Hardware buttons" sound that disapear.

Even after multiple Hard resets, and also after having upgrated to Crossbow - the problem remains.

Does anyone know how I can get the settings to be permanent??
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pietroanceschi94:
Hey guys, I really like your blog. I found it very helpful and for this reason I'm here know asking a question. That's my problem: recently i bought a tv dongle in order to be able to use my TV as an android device. Among the first apps, i installed avg antivirus and i started the whole scanning. As it finished, avg reported something wrong: it said that my device was rooted, even if i hadn't already done anthing but installing a few apps. "Well", i thought, " good for me!" But here it comes the problem: root checker says the device is not properly rooted, SuperSU refuses to install, some other apps show problems... So i decided to remove the root permission: i downloaded a few different apps which can remove the root but everyone of them keeps tellinh my root isnt unlocked.

Please, what do i have to do now?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] mscion:
As the title says, check the December issue of Consumer Reports. Tab S and Tab Pro both got a score of 86. IPad mini 83, Nexus 7 81. However, the CR Best Buys are the Amazon Kindle (78) and EVGA tegra Note 7 (78) as they were at least $100 cheaper then either Tab S or Pro.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] mingkee:
I'd choose Pro over S because AMOLED is too warm (4300k vs 5700k) and AMOLED is prone to burn.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] btvranger:
You'd probably find a OnePlus One easier than a Galaxy Pro Tab these days..
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] antoniouslj:
Man, I picked up my PRO for $250 at Best Buy and they had plenty still in stock. At $250, this is absolutely a steal.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] tgyberg:
Ya, it is a steal! I just grabbed one over the weekend and this thing is amazing! :good:
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] GTT1:
Bought mine last week when I returned the Nexus 9 I had been trying out.

Lots of stock both black and white in the Naples store.

This might mean we will see a further price drop and with my bill saying returns now can be made until Jan 15th 2015 I guess that gives us a price match until Jan 15th as per their policy.

"If we lower our price during the return and exchange period, we will match our lower price, upon request."

Not sure if Black Friday would count anyone know?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] Lionem:
Bought mine this week for 249 euros in France.

Upgrading from Note 8 running the excellent SlimKat ROM.

489 euros for the Nexus 9 32gb was way too pricey

379 euros for Z3 Compact 32gb was pricey too, and there isn't a lot of dev on Sony's Tablets, even if they are good.

Galaxy Tab S was an option but Exynos/3gb vs Snapdragon 800/2gb... Snapdragon wins, sorry for AMOLED :)
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] GTT1:
Confirmed the Tab pro 8.4 is on sale black friday for $199.99 with Best Buy also some other Samsung tablets

http://blackfriday.bestbuy.com/?category=doorbusters5&filter=&brand=Samsung

I have found out that they don't price match to Black Friday deals, some purchasers however who bought in the last week get until Jan 15th to return so its a case of buying another one and return it with your previous bill to save $50.00

Tab Pro 8.4 availability

I bought mine in Greece on Jun 2014 for 250€.

It is now available and stocked (at least in 15 stores) starting from 210.99€ (checked today, Nov 12)

I envy the Tab S's 3GB of memory though ...
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] mingkee:
It's hardly to tell the difference between 2GB and 3GB RAM except you open a lot of app at a time.

Tab Pro 8.4 design is based on Note 3 except cam and RAM, but CPU stays the same (same results as Antutu and Quadrant).

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] dutch_in_seattle:
Picked up a brand-new Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 from Craig's List over the weekend for $170. The guy had posted it for $250, but after I pointed out that these are now on sale at Best Buy for $199 and I'd have very little reason to buy from him, he was quick to go down in price and I was able to get it down to $170. This tablet is a steal at that price! I replaced my 32GB Nexus 7 (2013) with this, and so far I've been very, very impressed. Fabulous screen and fast performance. This thing rocks! I really like a physical home button. The Nexus 7 lacks that, which I never got used to. Also, I actually kinda like the Touchwiz layer. It adds a lot of useful features. Plus I picked up a 64GB micro SD card on Cyber Monday for $25 for extra storage, also something that you can't do with the Nexus 7. I sold my Nexus 7 for just about what I paid for my Galaxy Tab Pro, so that's been a great swap!
