[One (M8) Accessories] Ambious:
I've decided to give a fitted skin a go, and obviously those two names came up. Both have pretty impressive websites and nearly similar options (as far as my taste is concerned) so obviously it's a hard choice.

I'd like to hear from people who've already bought and used them for a while, regarding wear-and-tear, discoloration, etc.

Also, how easy (if at all possible) is it to put a case over them?

Feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!!

I'm still waiting for my slickwrap though, would love to give you a some input once I get it. :p

Edit: FYI, slickwrap cover more coverage (sides) than dbrand's skin. While slickwrap contain 3 pieces just got the back while dbrand is just one piece.

Sent from my HTC ONE M8 HK
[One (M8) Accessories] PcFish:
Main differences:

Dbrand

-Back: 1 piece, so it covers the antenna strips (which I prefer) and wraps around the sides but stops at the volume/card slots.

-Bottom: Included, stops at antenna strip.

-Top: None

Slickwraps

-Back: 3 pieces, does not cover the antenna strips, wraps around the sides around the volume button and slots.

-Bottom: Included, stops at antenna strip.

-Top: Included, covers all black besides the power button.

Personally I prefer the dbrand because you can get it without the HTC cutout and leave plenty of real estate for custom decals on top. See attached. And I usually have a bumper on so I don't need the sides covered.

If I were to go no case, I would do dbrand bottom and back with slickwraps top ;p

EDIT: I'm using the dbrand matte black with no cut-out with a custom car decal I bought on ebay on the Spigen Ultra Clear Smoke bumper case.

I don't know about slickwraps, but it's pretty easy to put a case on the dbrand, only thing is the bottom decal might slide if you don't do it carefully.

Also, for applying with the decals that wrap around and bend, I used a hair dryer to heat it up so it bends easily.
[One (M8) Accessories] Heisenberg420:
I haven't used dbrand, but slickwraps are amazing. The texture on the carbon fiber wraps is so nice, doesn't slip out of my hands anymore.

I just put it back on my phone after removing it months ago and it sticks like new. I run it with a tempered glass protector and it feels very protected.

They have a new natural series made with real leather that I'll be ordering soon
[One (M8) Accessories] CavyS:
Go with dbrands. Slickwraps customer service is god awful and the quality isnt as god as dbrands in my opinion. Took over a month for me to get my skin with no reply to emails the whole time. Look at the Slickwraps thread here and you can see a lot of people have trouble with their orders.

Thank You it's nice to hear from real customers.

[One (M8) Accessories] Ambious:
I think I'll go for the slickwrap just because I like that it doesn't cover the antenna bands.

Also from what I've read on reddit, their cutouts are a bit more precise.

Thanks for the feedback everyone! It's been very helpful :)

There are times when I would like my 360 to be on (not ambient mode but on) all the time. I know this would drain the batt quicker but for short durations I would like to turn it on all the time. Is there a way to do this?

Backlight question...

So, I'm testing out a 360 and a LG R, and I have to say that I do like the LG "always on" mode...Is that just a personal preference thing? It that just not in the 360s wheel house? I know about the ambient mode, but several times I glance down and see that the screen is dark, and I got to "flick da wrist" to wake it up.

I've had a couple people ask me in meetings if my watch was broken, or how do I tell the time on it? (It was dark). Is that a sign that the LG is for me? Is there a way to keep the 360s screen on and dial the brightness way down? Or is this just a square peg round hole kind of issue?

Thanks for the feedback...
[Moto 360] deadgiveaway:
Yea use swipify , then navigate to quick settings and there is an always on setting and brightness slider

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azsrockz:
[MENTION=4419114]rovo89[/MENTION], the brilliant developer behind the Xposed Framework, issued an update on his plans for adding Lollipop support to the popular modification framework.

One of the under-the-hood changes brought by Android 5.0 Lollipop is the adoption of ART as the only runtime on Android, replacing the aging Dalvik. While ART brings faster app execution thanks to its use of ahead-of-time compilation, it also happens to break Rovo89’s Xposed Framework. For this reason, Xposed doesn’t work on devices running KitKat with ART, as well as on all devices running Lollipop.

In this post, Rovo89 issued an update on his work on Xposed for ART – in short, not much has changed since the last update from July, simply because the currently available Lollipop source code is still not final:

It’s pretty hard to shoot such a fast-moving target. I hope that once a final version is out and the source code for is published (with a proper branch), changes will slow down a bit – and hopefully, vendors will use it pretty much unmodified.

The bulk of the work is still ahead, and the bad news is Rovo89 is having trouble mustering the time and motivation to tackle the difficult new project:

I still don’t have time and motivation to work on Xposed as I used to, but I’m slowly starting again (no promises though).

Getting Xposed to work on Lollipop is more than figuring out ART, said the developer, as the implementation of SELinux on Android 5 is “much stricter”. In short, while there’s a good chance Xposed for Lollipop will work, that’s not a certainty, and, if it eventually happens, it won’t be anytime soon:

I can’t give any estimation when that will be the case, it depends much on my personal situation. Chance are pretty low that it will be within a month after Lollipop release, and will get higher once I start thinking about flashing a Lollipop ROM myself (which would probably be CM12, and I think these guys won’t give us a timeline either, for good reasons).

I’m still not 100% sure Xposed for Lollipop will work, but I hope that in some way it will, even if it might not be as compatible with most ROMs and as easy to install as it is for Android 4.x

TMO introduced a new rate plan today, 2 lines unlimited everything including LTE for $100. I just called and saved $40/m.... That will pay for the Edge of your on Jump. :good::good:

I did this earlier this morning as well. The rep had to look it up. I read about it yesterday and called this morning.

I asked about throttling and he couldn't find anything that mentioned any stipulations.
[Note Edge General] TigerDNA:
TMO isn't known for fine print. My rep read her internal memo to me... It's the exact same thing we are use to. Unlimited talk text, this includes now unlimited LTE and 5gb tether (for those who have not rooted)....
[Note Edge General] CreekDirt:
I literally just switched to them with the Note Edge release. I've never heard a happier bunch of representatives before in my life.

This came at a perfect time since their other family plan drops you to 2G data speeds once you have expended your alloted LTE data.
[Note Edge General] OreBoySwaggin:
This has been the first time I've managed to pass my 2.5gb data limit because right after my month passed I went on vacation where my LTE was faster than their WiFi,and I spent a lot of time messing around on my phone, where I ended up redownloading every app I had like 3x because of testing out lollipop on my S4 and such, then when I got my edge I was on the road and decided to download all my apps and bam I was at like 2.4gb and few days later surpassed my plan. Gotta wait til the 21st :/

Grab a terminal app from the Play Store. Then once you have a session running type SU then hit enter and grant it SU rights when asked.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Accessories] yujikaido79:
Bit of an experiment, bought a aluminum Bluetooth keyboard for iPad mini. After checking out the dimensions of it vs my Amazon kindle fire hdx I decided to take the risk. It fits snug into the dock and most of function keys work for it. For example play,pause, forward/backwards,volume up and down. Might look into remapping the remaining function keys that don't. Nice little keyboard although it's a bit cheap(from China but shipped from california) and has a slight bow to it. Not bad for $13 with free shipping.

Here is the link of seller I bought from ebay that was the cheapest but others available as well. http://r.ebay.com/PHaqRN

Edit: now looking at a Zagg keyboard with backlit keys that might work as well. Its about $23 for an open box deal on amazon I am considering. Its got bigger keys and all round better look to it. But the keyboard I have is still working good.

[Huawei Ascend P7] mud_f1:
I have read its a place problem about the cust info. That partition haven't got the properly info of the carrier, so the phone think that you are out . That happens because your carrier use the network of other carrier. For example imagine that your carrier its apex, but use the o2 network, in fact its using another , that's roaming and if the phone haven't got the information to know that the roaming is local , show that.

Some people say that they can solve the problem installing the udpate.app of the vendor cards. Didn't work for me. The other way is try th edit build.prop adding new lines , but you need root for that ..good luck.

Let me tell you the tale of a newb who though he could figure out everything on his own but now has failed.:D

Background: I've been running Santod's Unsense ROM for some time now (might've been KitKat 4.3 tho) and my recovery is TWRP v2.6.3.4

So I was trying to flash Santod's new GPE rom 5.0.1 that's here.

In that thread he says you need the latest firmware and then points us to this previous thread for the firmware.

On that thread he has the firmware links on the second post. In that post I looked in the Kernel only section and downloaded:

5.28.605.2 Insecure stock kernel w/modules - R/W enabled***LATEST

I then put it on my SD card using airdroid, installed it using TWRP, wiped cache, and rebooted system. For some reason the system never loaded and the device booted back into recovery. This should've been a red flag for me but for some reason I continued the installation process.

When I was back in recovery I thought it would be okay if I then ran the recovery flashable baseband he had there called:

OTA version: 5.28.605.2 | Baseband Version: 1.13.41.0702 ***LATEST

Then after the baseband installed and my system rebooted into recovery (instead of the UnSense ROM) I flashed the GPE rom that Santod currently has up. It never booted and my device went back into recovery every time.

In my eternal UNwisdom I only backed up my stock version before I had flashed the UnSense ROM. Now that I have the stock system for some reason the OTA system update won't take. It's doing the same thing all the others did (loading to recovery mode) and the system tells me the update failed.

If anybody could clarify what the hell I did to my phone I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!

Turn on your phone, now your phone will show blank black screen, you don't need to worry

Now the phone is not turning on back , phone screen is black I can't proceed to further step as using install.bat required USB debugging on.

Forgive me if this is a repeat. I did a search but didn't find anything the same.

I sold my LG G2 and was looking for an inexpensive replacement. The Nexus 5 is an obvious choice as it is powerful, proven and inexpensive.

But I saw that Staples here in Canada has an unlocked Moto G 2014 for a good price and decided to test drive.

Used Nexus 5 = same $$$ as new Moto G

Overall, a great device to be sure!

But... I do feel a little lag here and there. I can live without LTE if needed but lag bothers me.

So, since my G doesn;t have Lollipop yet, I am looking for insight from those who have the upgrade.

Does Lollipop smooth out the Moto G enough to make it a contender vs the Nexus?

Or is it a minor upgrade and not much smoother than the G on Kitkat?

Thanks in advance.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rufflove:
Nothing will change the fact that the Nexus 5 has a Snapdragon 800 and 2GB of RAM, whilst the Moto G has a Snapdragon 400 and 1GB of RAM. Assuming you account for the difference by running less background processes and multitasking less intensively, the Moto G is perfectly suitable as a general workhorse, but it will always hit performance bottlenecks earlier than a Nexus 5, regardless of what version of the operating system is installed.

It does seem that processes are killed pretty aggressively at the moment on Motorola's Android 5.0, just as they are on 4.4.4, but this can be adjusted to suit your preferences. It's a case of trading redraws for a bit more lagginess in general. Ultimately, if you can't adjust to the lesser performance of the Moto G and can do without Micro SD support, dual SIMs (if you have the XT1068/9) and no warranty, a secondhand Nexus 5 in good condition is a better choice.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sandman2749:

[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trekker56:
The multitasking issue is the BIGGEST negative against Moto G 2014. If you ever plan to use maps and another app like chrome or music, or want to listen to music and another app (maps/chrome etc) at the same time, DO NOT get the Moto G 2014 as it is not able to do so. If you do not plan on doing any multitasking, then it is a worthy phone for the price. Has minimal lag, good screen, dual speakers, sd car slot.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lamech242:
