[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark_1:
Yeah I know, but I read that the volume will be a lot lower..

I don't know why Google doesn't add it in the accessibility menu. I know that IOS got this, but also some Samsung and HTC smartphones. I tried to look on my LG G Pad, and it has this feature.

I can listen freely my music in the office, but I don't want to put both the earphones. Of course if I listen to some stereo music I can lose a lot of details. It's not a matter of life and death, but I'm just confused why Google does not at least consider this.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark_1:
It will be not the easiest method (because I want to be able to listen, when I'm not in the office, stereo music) but it could be interesting. I'd like to have the same sound mixed on both channels, since I sometime use the left earphone and other time the right one.

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RolF2:
you can buy this adapter - http://cable-trader.co.uk/items/3_5mm-stereo-plug-to-3_5mm-mono-socket , but i think stereo will be mixed only to one earphone and another will not work at all .
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chdloc:
The following should do what you want. However, you need to reboot your phone after you made the change.

In your case you may want to keep two mixer_paths.xml files handy so you can swap them out as desired followed by a reboot, which could be done automatically by Tasker.

Very kludgy, I know, but it will do the trick.

Replace the following "headphone" section (stereo)

<path name="headphones">
<ctl name="SLIM RX1 MUX" value="AIF1_PB" />
<ctl name="SLIM RX2 MUX" value="AIF1_PB" />
<ctl name="SLIM_0_RX Channels" value="Two" />
<ctl name="RX1 MIX1 INP1" value="RX1" />
<ctl name="RX2 MIX1 INP1" value="RX2" />
<ctl name="CLASS_H_DSM MUX" value="DSM_HPHL_RX1" />
<ctl name="HPHL DAC Switch" value="1" />
<ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="83" />
<ctl name="RX2 Digital Volume" value="83" />
<ctl name="HPHL Volume" value="15" />
<ctl name="HPHR Volume" value="15" />
</path>

with the following dual-mono section

<path name="headphones">
<ctl name="SLIM RX1 MUX" value="AIF1_PB" />
<ctl name="SLIM RX2 MUX" value="AIF1_PB" />
<ctl name="SLIM_0_RX Channels" value="Two" />
<ctl name="RX1 MIX1 INP1" value="RX1" />
<!-- the following line adds the cross mix from the second channel to the first one -->
<ctl name="RX1 MIX1 INP2" value="RX2" />
<ctl name="RX2 MIX1 INP1" value="RX2" />
<!-- the following line adds the cross mix from the first channel to the second one -->
<ctl name="RX2 MIX1 INP2" value="RX1" />
<ctl name="CLASS_H_DSM MUX" value="DSM_HPHL_RX1" />

<ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="83" />
<ctl name="RX2 Digital Volume" value="83" />

"The upgrades will be rolled out from June, in line with our operator

partners’ strategies."

They must have already told the operators they could release their upgrades in June, hence why it says "in line". Looks to me that everyone needs to wait til June then, unless you buy the S710 and you get WM6 now.

Yeh but its crap, you can't make new documents, only open existing ones. So you need to keep a bunch of blank files of each type on your device and remember to duplicate them before you start writing stuff. Its mad.

I can make new documents:)

Modaco Donew allows you to create new Office Files, and it works on my Dash with Windows Mobile 6. Best of all it's FREE.

yeh I know but its ridiculous you have to go to this effort. :[
[HTC Excalibur] chaznet:
'Ridiculous' might be a bit strong. I've read that you can just create blank documents and 'save as' each time you pull one up to create a new document.

I'd much rather have Notes sync and MS Money back, but that ain't gonna happen :(
[HTC Excalibur] indiekiduk:
I read its impossible to make blank documents.

I think what he means is that you make blank documents on your pc and then move them to the Dash.

[Micromax Canvas A1] jaskiratsingh:
I had issues with canvas a1, so decided to factory reset it. It didn't work out hence I rebooted into recovery and wiped data, cache. The challenge I am facing is that I am unable to update the system applications. I receive message in play store "your device is incompatible with this version"

Tried resetting from settings but same issue. My device is non rooted, stock rom.

Any suggestions on how to fix the issue.
[Micromax Canvas A1] StormyKnight:
what were the applications you were gonna update? google play store? I think most of people in here updated it through third party websites not from google store.
[Micromax Canvas A1] jaskiratsingh:
Applications like gmail, Google search, Google camera, Google play services, calendar, launcher, youtube..attached is the screenshot for reference.
[Micromax Canvas A1] StormyKnight:
I can update them without any issue ,actually I just updated the google play services after you mentioned it :victory:

did you root your phone or did anything advanced? can u show me the screenshot of the about phone menu in settings?
[Micromax Canvas A1] jaskiratsingh:
It was working fine until I did factory reset. Post that the issue started and is only with system applications.

I am not rooted and totally stock.

Attached is the screenshot.
[Micromax Canvas A1] StormyKnight:
I think I found the reason, when I logged from my old gmail, it says the same issue, not compatible but when I logged from my new one, it works fine. so make a factory reset and then register from a new gmail. :fingers-crossed: it should work.

or you can do like this too but I am not sure it works. first disable the internet go to settings -> app -> all -> google play service -> manage space -> clear all data

then clear cache -> disable it if you can

then find google services frameworks -> force stop -> disable clear data -> clear everything then clear cache, then connect internet. and keep go to the account and sync it. then after a while later (after it's synced) go to the https://play.google.com/settings

and see your device is in here or not, if it's not there then you done it well. then make a factory reset. and use your existing gmail.
[Micromax Canvas A1] jaskiratsingh:

[Moto X Q&A] vikramkhalsa:
Hey Guys,

Just wanted your advice on what phone I should get next. I Love my moto x Dev ed, its the best phone I ever had but its time for an upgrade.

One of the things I loved about it most is the size. Although the new moto x improved on a lot of stuff I don't like how much bigger it is. Its really hard to find a good/better phone in the same size range. Any suggestions? Anyone who upgraded to something else?

I know the main to contenders are galaxy alpha and sony xperia z3c. However, with the samsung I don't want to deal with touchwiz.. (although i suppose I could root and put cm or a custom rom?) . I really like the z3c and it has great reviews BUT the forums have a lot of people complaining about the glass back spontaneously cracking. Also hearing about sony leaving the smartphone market has me worries about future support and updates.

With either of these and others I will also miss the moto x features like active display and moto voice.. Not to mention, I've had a great experience with motorola customer service and warranty replacements/RMA and I'm not confident about getting the same from sony if the glass cracks or something happens.

Which leans me back toward moto.. but I don't want to go bigger. I was also considering the saygus V2. But don't know about their support, updates, and real hands on use reviews..Not to mention its not cheap haha.

So you see my dilemna? I think I might just have to compromise and go with the new moto x and just get used to the size. Thoughts?
[Moto X Q&A] pelebkf:
I am in the exact same predicament. I bought the 2014 moto x and returned it due to size.

The z3c looks like a good small phone but the glass reminds me of the nexus 4 and it will scratch without a case. Plus Sony may exit the smartphone industry. Updates are going to be slow as well.

The other ones are stripped down versions of there flag ships.

The iPhone 6 is not too much bigger and feels good in the hand but iOS is too limited for my taste.

The nexus 5 is not that much bigger but certainly not as nice feeling as the moto x

Really the smaller phones are going away. So if you are going to increase in size I would go with the 2014 moto x
[Moto X Q&A] vikramkhalsa:
Thanks! I had a nexus 4 and it was fine but I did keep it in a case. I guess I'd have to do the same for the z3c.. it looks pretty sleek so I would've like to rock it without a case. Still want it even with all the complaints of bad experiences.

And yeah, definitely not switching to iOS. I can consider nexus 5 I suppose. Its sad how limited the smaller options are. I'll probably end up going with 2014 moto x..
[Moto X Q&A] proxuser:
motorola should keep't the size of moto x and just upgrade hardware inside. like iphone 4/4s 5/5s.

that is the big problem of android. you see every new phone different design. even it is great design, they upgrade it with ****.

why i love my moto x and dont want upgrade?

- every possible rom is available, i cant use android without root

- good build quality, after 1 year of use, no scratches on screen (never used any screen protection or case)

- battery is enough for me for all possible scenarios.

- 2 port usb charger

- clean system as possible (even though I am a big fan of htc sense)

- never had any problem openin a webpage (yes that is another reason why people buy smartphones ;) )

- speaker and audio codec quality

- useful functions without any gimmick

and size, use it without dropping it. yes this is a good feel :)

i'm watching new smartphones but none of them exciting me (Z3 Compact, Galaxy Alpha, X 2014)

thanks to moto x i have first time not changed my android phone more than 1 year. (using android since g1) that is biggest reason why i love moto x 2013 :good:
[Moto X Q&A] fury683:
I too am starting to look for a replacement for my XT1060. I love it, but will need something new soon. I was very hopeful for the Nexus 6, but it absolutely too big. The Moto X 2014 looks nice but after getting a Moto Maker 2013 edition and using the Chinese Middleman to unlock the bootloader, and Verizon not offering the Pure edition, it's a no go. Droid Turbo was nice in hand, but it has little hope of rooting or bootloader unlocks (seems to be little demand), and it didn't seem as smooth as the Nexus 6 that my GF has. I held an HTC One M8 the other day and some of the developments for the M9 look nice, but I've never had an HTC device. I would need to be able to root/unlock and get as close to pure Android like the Moto X as possible. It is bigger than the Moto X 2013, but not as big as the Nexus 6.

I have a Nexus 7 2013, so I don't really need a big phone. I've used my GF's N6 a few times and it is just awkward as a phone. Too big for one hand and almost too small for two. Part of it is probably me forcing myself to dislike it so I don't cave and just go buy one.
[Moto X Q&A] domenci:
Here's a page that shows the size difference between the phones you mentioned. The 2013 X is much smaller than everything else you mentioned, the 2014 is biggest.
[Moto X Q&A] vikramkhalsa:
I'm getting a free upgrade/replacement to moto x 2014 under warranty from motorola. I'm deciding if I should just keep it since they're giving me it, or sell it and get something else. Maybe I'll just buy a 2013 dev ed again. I really had no complaints about it.. It wasn't slow or laggy or anything really.. or a nexus 5.. hmm.
[Moto X Q&A] vikramkhalsa:
Thanks, I was actually looking at size comparisons earlier. The z3c is actually the same or even barely smaller than 2013 x actually. and alpha is close as well. I might just take the plunge for the xperia z3c and be careful with it...
[Moto X Q&A] 0TheRain0:
I'd buy a Galaxy Alpha if verizon had it. Actually verizon has no new phones that are as small as the 1st Gen moto X, since they also didn't get the Xperia Z3 compact.

Samsung is not my favorite, but I'm really hoping someone this year addresses this with a smaller phone with excellent build quality and some updated specs - preferably either Motorola or HTC. Although, I guess I can survive with my 1st Gen moto X for another year. Once Lollipop rolls out for moto x 1st gen maybe I won't care as much =)
[Moto X Q&A] theideaweb:
I keep hoping that Moto will add something that's between 4.7" and 5" to the lineup that still has Active Display and Moto Voice. Doesn't have to have Moto Maker, doesn't have to have top of the line specs (slightly better than the Moto X 2013 would be good). An HD screen would be nice. Obviously AMOLED is a requirement to do the active display. Heck, I'd even take no LTE. Price point between the Moto X and the Moto G would be fine.

I doubt this would happen as the phone would compete directly with the Moto G 2014, but I can hope.
[Moto X Q&A] vikramkhalsa:
Since none of the current small handset options seem worthwhile, I'm thinking I may just stick with the moto x 2013 for now and wait to see what comes out in the next few months. Hopefully we'll have a good alternative soon. In the mean time this should hold out. And I agree, won't feel the need as much once we get lollipop.

Thanks!

[Moto X Q&A] nhizzat:
I'm sticking with my Moto X, although the Nexus 6 gets more and more tempting. I find myself missing my Note 2 for its screen size, but not much else.
[Moto X Q&A] vikramkhalsa:
Thanks! When the new one first came out there was also a huge thread with many people disappointed by the larger size. I highly doubt they would go backwards/smaller now though..
[Moto X Q&A] 1tontomato:

[Moto X Q&A] mario24601:
I went from nexus 4 to 2014 X to Sony z3 compact to finally 2013 X.... I made the best choice I think!
[Moto X Q&A] vikramkhalsa:
Wait really? You moved backwards, in a sense? For size/comfort or what? What made you give up the z3c?

I went from nexus 4 to 2013 x. And I'm worried about the future, 2013 x is good for now but we'll probably need something else within this year..
[Moto X Q&A] mario24601:
Yeah a bit of a step back but the 2014 X was way too big, the z3c was nice but screen sensitivity was too high, it would register these Phantom tap or slides. Drove me nuts. The charging part also sucked with the little cover. I had the magnetic charger but darn thing never stayed on properly if I touched phone at all. 4.7 screens are sweet spot. I do hope someone comes out with a suitable replacement but in meantime the 2013 X is best out there for me.
[Moto X Q&A] orky87:
Personally I hate the route phone manufacturers are taking with 5+ inch screens. Soon the word mobile will lose it's defined meaning. It's OK if you have a carry bag but if you use your pocket it becomes uncomfortable nor practical or "bonner" like lol.

Moto X 2013 has a 4.7 screen and the smallest body of any other phone with same screen size. A winning combination! Whoever takes the same approach next will get my cash until then Moto X will be the only phone I will use. Anything above 5.2 is just dumb and calling it a mobile is an insult imo.
[Moto X Q&A] Fadelight:
My thoughts exactly. I can't stand the direction phone manufacturers are moving in. I'm holding on tightly to this phone until another small phone comes out with good specs.
[Moto X Q&A] perfoliate:
My friend just picked up the new 2015 Moto E. Although its not as good as the 2013 X it seems really solid for $150. Definitely a good choice for a bargain shopper.
[Moto X Q&A] vikramkhalsa:

[Moto X Q&A] mikeschevelle:
What about a dev edition M7? I have the M8 now and while it is bigger than my '13 X its not too bad
[Moto X Q&A] sorullo_xgrx:
Recently I finally had the opportunity and time to visit my T-Mobile store and check the nexus 6, dear God what was Motorola and google thinking that thing is huge I couldn't hold it for long. It is just not my kind of phone I had also use the iPhone 6+ for a week I was happy going back to my moto x. I'll probably just try now a nexus 5 and hoping the next nexus is something like the X in size, or at least have size options.
[Moto X Q&A] vikramkhalsa:
To be honest IMO the moto x is as good or better than the m7. The HTC one might have better specs and I suppose if a dev version has stock it should perform as well or better than the moto x but the size of the screen compared to the phone is just awful! Its a beautiful device but I have the fact that the screen is almost the same size as moto x (and higher res?) but the phone is so much taller. Defeated the purpose and wouldn't be much of an upgrade i think. m8 is too big for my taste. Coming from the '13 X I feel like the bezels are wasted! Might just end up going with a 2014 moto x. At leas the the shape makes it feel smaller.
[Moto X Q&A] 23-10:
The Z3c is amazing. My old man has it and it has not cracked or anything. I still use My ZL and Sony have been great with the updates and always and nice features.
[Moto X Q&A] squid2:
Moto E

I'd second the suggestion to get the new 2015 Moto E. For $150, it can't be beat. While the camera is a step back and it lacks a flashlight, the phone fits great in your hand, has excellent battery life, will be supported for some time, and it really flies - particularly when running 5.1 which will be coming out soon for the E ;) Trust me.
[Moto X Q&A] orky87:
Yeah, and that stupid black stripe with htc logo has no real purpose other than take up screen space. Oh and they should release a slightly different version to suit men better as it's looks kinda girly too.
[Moto X Q&A] Cronis:
As someone who had the moto x and ended up switching to the Sony z3c here are a few observations.

Size is about the same but the z3c feels like a square block compared to the moto. The glass back might look cool but it's uncomfortable to hold, put a case on it. Moto x win

Battery life is a massive improvement on the z3c. Just no comparison. Pretty amazing when you can go through two days, look at the battery and it reads 56%. Win z3c

Camera is a decent improvement on the z3c. Much better detail overall, better indoor Performance, an improvement all around. Many more options to control the camera settings too. Win z3c

I do miss the always on and screen tap notification. I never had any performance issues with the X, so the quad core in the z3c does not make a huge difference. The screens are roughly equivalent in day to day use, though I'm sure someone will chime in about colors and stuff. Have not had any cracked backs, but I do use a leather flip case and tempered glass screen protector.
