[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Glyphix:
Thanks! So to confirm - it has all the bands T-mobile uses?

I ask because I have had a strange issue where I was out and about and my phone told me it had H+ reception... but I could get any web page to load (also no voice typing would work) until I rebooted it and it was saying LTE again.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] the_rooter:
Thats doesnt mean the maxx is better. I have a turbo that works great out of the box compared to all the issues you all are having with the lollipop build that wasnt even supposed to be distributed. There is no better phone out of the two.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
Has the main LTE bands 2, 4. Does not have LTE band 12, but neither does the Turbo.

Sorry, it does mean it's better because it gives you more options if you want to root and install custom software. You're on XDA. ;)

Not sure why you are mentioning the test version of Lollipop. I didn't. I'm not running it and has no relevance to this discussion at hand. I'm talking about unlocking bootloader and rooting -- so you can have Root Browser, Adaway, Titanium Backup, etc. All the great apps that need ROOT. Like your user name, so you should know how important that is. ;)

Also for someone SPECIFICALLY asking about T-mobile, with the XT1225 Moto Maxx you don't have to even uninstall all the useless Verizon bloatware.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] the_rooter:
The person is on tmobile. If he were to get the turbo there is a program that can disable any apk on it without root.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
and the Moto Maxx XT1225 has LTE bands 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 17 -- so re-sale value is greater. For AT&T and T-mobile. Has ALL the AT&T bands, even LTE band 5 is not mentioned in the "official" specs.

And that answer doesn't even address TWRP recovery and titanium backup.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] the_rooter:
Dude I am not going to get in a pissing contest with you. To you the maxx may be the best but to someone else the turbo is better. It all depends on the user. To say one phone is better because it has a unlocked bootloader and root is quite ignorant to say the least. Have u tried the turbo? if not you cant compare it even though they may be similar. Have a good day

I brought the test up because the majority of maxx users on here have flashed that. I for one love root, and flashing. But again there are some that could care less.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
I'm not getting into a contest either, but I just can't believe you are saying a phone with IDENTICAL hardware specs that can be unlocked, rooted, with TWRP recovery (as well as Titanium backup) is not even a shade better than the other phone that does not have those ADVANTAGES. And saying this in XDA, a developer's forum.

For a person with T-mobile, both have the LTE bands 2, 4. So no difference there, but all the other stuff is different.

But I"ll leave it there. To each his own.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] the_rooter:
Lets back up a bit from what i said in my last post. I have a nexus 6 and a droid turbo. I chose the nexus 6 for my daily driver because it has root and the works. I love rooting and custom roms. I am bringing this up because there are people on here that could care less about root. So to them an unlocked bootloader/root means nothing to them. The want a phone that works excellent out of the box. So to them the droid turbo is the better of the two or vice versa.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Glyphix:
There are multiple moto maxx models? What's the difference between them?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] the_rooter:
one is international and one is us version
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Glyphix:
I don't actually care about rooting really... I just use stock and wait for ota updates. (Though I would call ability to root an advantage... in case I ever changed my mind... but if this lollipop issue might effect me... I probably care about that more)

That said I have not had "lollipop" issues out of the box... well... at least that I know of... the one I have has kitkat on it... I assume it will get lollipop ota sometime... I'm in no huge rush... What is this problem some people are having with lollipop though? does it have to do with ota lollipop? (in which case I might be concerned) Or trying to flash a lolli rom to a rooted phone? (in which case, I don't care because I'll just wait for ota)

Thanks!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] the_rooter:
Lollipop hasnt been released for droid turbo yet. The maxx had the lollipop ota but only for soak test, but one user put it upon theirself to give it to other users. Throughout most of their thread there was issues of crashes, or on one case i read that someone almost bricked their phone following the steps but the OP missed one step and fixed it before any others had the issue. The droid turbo and the maxx are nice phones out of the box. Both equal till root/unlocked bootloader is done, but again it depends on the user.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Glyphix:
Thanks! How do I know which I have? Are there any differences I should know about? I just want it to work perfectly on tmobile and get OTA updates.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Glyphix:
Thanks - so if I wait for OTA lollipop (which should come to my phone even though I might be using international version of the phone on tmobile?) I should be pretty safe to assume I shouldn't have any issues?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] the_rooter:
Thats kinda a odd question. Recieving OTA's is not an issue unless u root. You should be fine.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Glyphix:
Sweet - thanks - I figured... I just wanted to make sure there was not an issue on the soak test where non-rooted people had a problem.

Unrelated question... I like the lock screen for the most part... but it was kinda cool how on my nexus when I had music playing the lock screen would show the album cover and have pause/skip controls... anyway to enable that on this phone?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] the_rooter:
I believe thats more with what apk u are using. I am not sure
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
Yes, if you don't care about root or the ability to fully control your phone, then both the XT1254 and XT1225 are identical for T-mobile.

For AT&T, the XT1225 Moto Maxx is better (has all the AT&T LTE bands, even though not mentioned in the official specs).

For Verizon, of course the XT1254 Droid Turbo is better. ;)

I'll leave out discussion of the XT1250 (the U.S. CDMA/LTE "Moto Maxx"), which has identical FCC ID to the XT1254, (and unlockable bootloader) as that was not part of the comparison.

If you do care about root, then the XT1225 has the edge.

All my Androids have been rooted (I've owned 9 between me and my wife -- as I buy them, root them, keep them updated, make backups, etc.). I will not buy an Android that cannot be rooted. I got the Moto Maxx over the Nexus 6 (both by Motorola) -- even though my last two phones were Nexus phones -- because the Nexus 6 was too big for me to use as a phone, and has all the same specs (and some even better, like battery) except for OIS on the rear camera. It's the Nexus 6 Google should have released.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] the_rooter:
Coming from a note 3 user. I love the size and feel of the nexus 6. the only thing I hate about it is its slippery to the touch.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Glyphix:
Yea - I tried N6 and it was WAY to slippery... I can't stand cases so that was a no go for me.

What was it you were saying about the apk I am using in regards to my lock screen?

I realized another thing that I miss about the lock screen on Nexus. (Apart from the fact I don't see album covers and music controls when playing music)... I also don't see my next scheduled alarm... and I also don't see the "owner info". I normally put "reward if found" and a phone number there in case I lose it and a decent person finds in.

Any idea how I can get these things back? Preferably while still keeping the good features about the turbo/maxx lock screen.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] the_rooter:
Well like facebook implemented a lockscreen notification style type thing similar to lollipop, maybe the apks u had for music had the same thing. I think pandora did such a thing. I dont know. From my understand unless the apk includes it. i think root is ur only option for that but i could be wrong.

Also the lock screen settings are under security. check that out.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Glyphix:
To be clear I am talking about the stock google music and youtube app (I think other apps like pandora, etc did the same) and stock KitKat/lollipop (As running on my Nexus 5).

I think the problem is that the maxx has it's special moto x like lock screen with the quick glance notifications thing
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Glyphix:
figured it out I think.. I enabled lock screen widgets... and now if the phone is locked and I press the power button instead of just waving my hand I see the normal lock screen with the owner info, next alarm, and if playing music the music stuff.

Kind of annoying though that the owner info does not show in the black and white at a glance screen... if someone found my phone they might only see that screen.

Also... lollipop did away with lock screen widgets... I wonder if I will still be able to see these things once I get lollipop ota as I assume the "allow lock screen widgets" option will go away.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] fedecape:
Where did you buy it and how much did you pay for it? (xt1225)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
eBay for the first, from Puerto Rico. $779, with free shipping. Prices have come down since then.

$640, total cost for the second from Mexico. Ordered straight from Motorola Mexico during Christmas holiday sake for about $550 (coverting from pesos). Shipped from China to Mexico address of XDA member [MENTION=2920544]Jaocagomez[/MENTION], via FedEx, bought with my U.S. credit card. Then $40 turnaround fee (very reasonable) for him to receive phone, inspect it, and ship it on to me. Then $50 UPS shipping fee with tracking from Mexico to U.S. via UPS. to my house. But Motorola Mexico has closed that non Mexico credit card loophole.

In comparison, the 64 GB NEXUS 6 costs $700, plus shipping, and tax.

Averaging my two 64 GB Moto Maxx phones -- $709.50 -- I did not overpay.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ershanlakhani:
Hey guys,

I was using a verizon droid turbo and ended up buying the XT1225 (droid maxx), but I'm not getting lte. I've tried multiple apns. I'm on tmobile. Can anybody point me in the right direction or thread.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
I assume you meant Moto Maxx? Where did you buy the XT1225? If from Puerto Rico, those are locked to Claro and you need to have it unlocked. Usually done by the eBay dealer, but in some cases they just provide the code and you have to do it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] alphadog00:
One difference I read is that the flip cover for turbo does not work with the MAXX. No magnets or such. I have not confirmed
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
There are no physical differences whatsoever between the the Quark "Droid Turbo" and Quark "Moto Maxx" and the upcoming Quark "Moto Turbo" (for India).

The Moto Maxx -- both of them -- only comes in ballistic nylon. Now if the Turbo "flip cover" does not work with the Verzion Turbo in ballistic nylon, then it won't work with the Moto Maxx in ballistic nylon. If it does work with Turbo in ballistic nylon, then it works with Moto Maxx in ballistic nylon.

There are flip cases -- like this one -- which are NOT compatible with ballistic nylon.

http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Demomm-Leather-Wallet-Xt1254/dp/B00PBCCMY4

However, I think the case you are talking about has an app you install, which is made for Verizon only. It's basically carrier-specific software. There's no physical reason it should not work with Moto Maxx, but Google Play store won't let you download it if you don't have Verizon Droid Turbo. But that flip cover is ugly anyway. I have a Verizon Tech21 case covering one of my Moto Maxx phones.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] alphadog00:
The MAXX gets LTE but shows a 4G indicator - are you sure you are not misreading that?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
Right. Default out-of-the-box behavior for the "international" Moto Maxx XT1225 is to show LTE as "4G" -- which it is.

Default behavior for HSPA is to show "H" or "H+".

Blame AT&T and T-mobile for LIES that HSPA is 4G. It's not. :rolleyes:

If you root and install Gravity Box, you can have the LTE signals show as "LTE".
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] alphadog00:
Personally, I don't mind the 4G - I have also seen H and H+ when on calls, so since I know how it works, it is fine. But yes, blame the marketing BS by the carriers.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the APN should not affect the display of 4G vs. 3G - data won't flow if APN is wrong. But if the phone has proper LTE Bands for the carrier, and the phone is not set to prefer 3G or 2G, then the connection should be 4G (LTE) even if the APN is wrong.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
Yes, I was agreeing with you and just providing more info. I didn't think of that in my answer to his question. I thought maybe his Moto Maxx was locked to a carrier like Claro or something. Your answer makes more sense -- he is getting LTE but it's showing (correctly) as "4G". Which he can change if he really wants.

In 2015, probably yes. Unless you previously had a non-LTE phone on record with AT&T and they still have your account "provisioned" for that phone.

Back in 2012 with the LG Nexus 4, even the correct APN wouldn't help. So some people had to lie to AT&T and tell them they had a different phone in order to get LTE data.

IF they already had an LTE phone on record with AT&T, and put the SIM in the LG Nexus 4 they were fine. But if they told AT&T they had a Nexus 4, the IMEI profile blocked LTE even with the correct APN.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Semseddin:
If you're not a verizon customer, there are advantages of Moto Maxx over Droid Turbo for sure like ;

1- Unlockable bootloader and root

2- Official CM12 support from Skrilax_CZ

3- Faster updates from motorola

4- No verizon bloatware

5- Custom rom and root support from the dev community.

The only advantage of Droid Turbo over Moto Maxx is CDMA network support and Droid Command center widget which is absent in moto maxx stock firmware.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] modsrpompous:
Are we going to get it before Note 5 comes out?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Philphil240:
Most likely. The reason why the Note 4 is getting the update so late, is because the Samsung VR has to also be capable with the Lollipop update. Also, I believe that Samsung, and also carriers, are looking at other devices (such as the Galaxy S5) to see what bugs need fixing before releasing it to the Note 4. My guess for a good release date would be this month. But no later than April (that's when the Galaxy S6 comes out). I hope I helped. :)

help plz :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilsdouble:
The best way to install SuperSU and update the binary is from recovery. Just go to whatever custom recovery you have (I use TWRP myself), install the latest SuperSU zip package (version 2.46 is the latest AFAIK) from there. I am sure you know where to get the SuperSU zip from.

There will be no need to update or install anything from your ROM after you have done the above.

Hi guys, I got a G Watch R for Xmas, and I love it so far.

And do any of you know if root apps/custom ROMs/recoveries will be available for Wear devices? (I'm kinda sure they will, so the question is rather "when" :D)

Thanks!

I think you need to root to replace or delete any system apps. I'd really like to replace or edit the one that keeps saying "Ok, Google" over all my watch faces.
[LG G Watch R] Darnell_Chat_TN:
To get rid of the "OK Google", you just need to say "OK Google" a time or a few and it will go away. No root needed.

I root my non-Wear devices for Titanium Backup mainly and a few other useful root apps like Root file explorers and such. But for Wear, I have not yet found a need to root the "R".

Hi,

I have tried for over a month now to get my Softbank X01HT(same as HTC TyTn and tmo MDA?) to work with the t-mobile usa gprs with no luck. I have contacted t-mobile and spent over two hours on the phone with them trying different things to get it to work. I would like to know if anyone out there has gotten this to work and if so please share with me how? Also, is there something preventing the phone from accepting a connection from t-mobile? The phone was purchased unlocked. I am using the HTC TyTn ROM on this phone.

Thanks in advance,

Mine works fine

Hi Braheem,

I have a softbank x01ht and have it connected to the tmobile network here in cali. When I first got it i just dropped my sim card in it and input the network settings from tmobile and I was on surfing the web with no problems. Three days later I couldn't connect. I allowed this to go on for three days and I finally called t-mobile. The first lady I talked to in tech support said everything was fine and nothing was wrong with my account. Then she asked if I wanted to go to pda support so I said sure why not. I just told them that my phone was the same as the mda II and she informed me that what had happened was I was on the 5.99 internet plan and they had a script run through and disconnect ppl that were using that plan with pda's. Only thing I think is maybe seeing ppl with high internet usage and then disabiling it? She said if I sign up with the pda plan for 29.99 then I would be able to get on in 24 hours. 12 min later i was up and surfing the web again and it has been that way for over a week. She said to get to pda support just say pda at the voice menu. Anyway hope this helps. If you need network settings they are on the t-mobile site, but i can help you out more if you aren't sure what to put or where to put them.
