[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tinkerer_:
Any seller return period would normally be "satisfaction guarantee" period, unrelated to warranty. Although if a product covered by a seller's satisfaction guarantee return policy failed within the return period, it could be returned to seller under that seller return policy. But check the return policy of the seller you bought from.

The Motorola website for the Moto X Pure says this: "Try it out, risk free. If you don’t completely love it, just return it in 14 days—free." That sounds like a typical satisfaction guaranteed type return policy, although I didn't dig into the fine print.

As for the complaints some have about the phone performance, heat, etc.: May I suggest a return to the tried-and-true K.I.S.S. philosophy. ("Keep It Simple, Stupid". An acronym that predates the current excessive Political Correctness culture by decades.)

For the phone, it means: Turn off all the excessive bells and whistles that don't work very well, use extra power and thus cause extra heating, and cause various problems.

I turned off all of the Moto Voice, Display, Assist, and location-aware Moto Actions, etc. Also turned off the adaptive brightness for the Display - it has a several-second response lag and is not very good at setting appropriate brightness for different ambient lighting conditions. I also discovered that you have to COMPLETELY turn OFF the Audio Effects in Sound and Notification, in order to get really good audio quality (what they heck where they thinking, leaving this enabled by default on the phone as it comes out of the box?).

The result is a REALLY smooth, REALLY nice phone. It runs cool. Battery lasts longer per charge. Handles everything with aplomb, no hesitation or lag or hiccups whatsoever. No problems. Headphone sound quality is outstanding. VERY happy with the phone. I checked out an iPhone 6S last weekend, and this Moto X is as smooth or smoother.

Don't need entanglements of things listening and frequently misinterpreting my spoken commands, talking to me when I am in situations where a non-talking phone would be best, turning display on when I didn't want it on and off when I wanted it to stay on because a warm body part came close to the phone or moved away, doing different things based on location sensing that requires all the battery-draining location services running, etc.

I know there are some who feel that they paid for the bells and whistles, they want the bells and whistles. I understand. The K.I.S.S. philosophy has distinct advantages, though. :)

Just my .02 worth.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucky_strike33:
IF you want a K.I.S.S, then go with an iphone 6s. problem solved :)
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tinkerer_:
Actually, no, problem NOT solved by going with an iPhone 6s. The iPhone 6s is WAY too expensive, and WAY too restrictive.

K.I.S.S. is not a binary, all-or-nothing proposition. It doesn't mean "go back to prehistoric times", or "go get an iPhone". It means "use a little intelligence in how complicated you make things, sometimes just because a computing device CAN do something doesn't mean it SHOULD be set up to do that thing".

Apologies to OP for veering off original topic, I was just trying to offer that the XT1575 is superb phone if you turn off the excessive bells and whistles that Motorola includes. The complaints I'm seeing mostly seem related to the excessive bells and whistles, and someone out there might discover there is no need to return the phone after all if they turn that stuff off. That still leaves a lot of really cool goodness. (Pun intended.)
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayharper08:
For me, there's no issue with the phone itself. I actually love it. I'm coming from the Nexus 6, and having a hard time adjusting to the "feel" of it with it being a lot more narrow. I guess basically, in just used to the N6 and kind of miss it, lol.

I, on the other hand, am going back to N6. MXP is fast and nice, but battery life sucks. And my brand new Aukey external quick charger doesn't work with it. I miss wireless charging, so Nexus again for me. I'm holding few months before buying a new Nexus. N6 will be good driver for next months. And Moto Display on AMOLED works better. Got one from craigslist for $220 today. Yay! Returning MXP tomorrow to Best Buy.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayharper08:
I have about 6 days left to decide if I want to keep it, or return it and stick with my N6. I'm not sure what I'm going to do. :/ I love having the SD card and the look of it, but missing the size and rom support of the N6 right now. (I know that will come :) )

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czaplin:
Another reason to return MXP is that your warranty is void if you unlock your bootloader. I'm not going to spend 400+ for a phone with no warranty. Root and unlock bootloader are a must for me. N6 is a very nice phone. Bit too large, but still manageable. You can stick USB otg in the worst case to your N6. Like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Dash-Micro-Mi...d=1443488785&sr=8-6&keywords=usb+otg+key+ring
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aridon:
They can't void the warranty outright for that. Its been debunked and is against the law. Non issue since any software problem can usually be fixed with a return to stock. Hardware issues would be covered regardless of the bootloader.

---------- Post added at 10:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:42 PM ----------

I'm not so sure Development is going to take off anymore. The Nexus P is similarly priced and people interested in development are going to flock to that device. Given they come out nearly on top of each other and Moto hasn't exactly been shipping the pure in any reasonable quantities (I still don't have mine and I ordered on the third), I think there is a very good chance people pass up the SD card for the slightly larger battery, better screen and guaranteed development.

I know my pure is almost certainly going to go back as a result unless it simply knocks my socks off. There is also a fair amount of negativity here. More so than most releases I've seen. There are always people complaining but at least from my perspective it seems a bit more pronounced and more actual issues underlying instead of just trolling.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Sarge020:
Hello,

I purchased a Galaxy S5 SM G900A (AT&T) whose previous owner supposedly only wanted to upgrade it to Android 5.0 and then stopped working. According to him, the phone was working properly before trying to upgrade it.

I have tried almost I have found and searched here and other sites, but it seems that anything is working. I think the phone is dead.

As a last resource, I have ordered a JIG, and should have it early next week. Do you think this can help?

Please see attached images for your reference, and would appreciate if someone can help me to confirm if this can be solved or not.

Any tricks for free internet on android...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Other than public wifi or reverse tethering, no. If there might be some other method to do so, must likely it wouldn't be legal, thus, not discussed here.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Planterz:
If you have a computer with built-in wifi, there are various programs that can turn it's wifi modem into a hotspot (assuming, of course, you have internet service to your computer). In my experience they're glitchy, not particularly reliable (for example, downloading a big game), and rather slow, but that could simply be the fault of my aging laptop.But they're either free or with free trials, so there's no reason not to try for yourself.

[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] kychan2015:
Hi, I am new in XDA, but just want to share some trick on the new Xperia C5 Ultra on change of screen density to look more beautiful without root.

This is useful for those who like to have phablet screen look like table density.

I have done tested on my Xperia C5 Ultra and it work with any flaw.

Please be reminder I am just putting a guide here, I will not responsible for anything happen to your phone, damaged, brick or exploded.

Any how this is done without root and you can restore to original screen density if you don't like it.:D:D:D

Please follow below guide :

Before you start, please ensure you have a working adb tool install on your PC and you have driver install on your PC.

refer here if you don't http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

This can only be done thru the PC

Original the Xperia C5 Ultra density is 480. This guide will help to change to density 320

screen resolution remain on 1920x1080

Step by Step

1) pls enable the developer mode on your Xperia C5 Ultra

2) check the USB debugging on the developer option

3) plug in the USB and connect your phone to the PC

4) press on the PC " window" key + "X" key and select command prompt (admin)

5) in the command prompt , put in text adb after C:\windows\system32>

6) your phone share pop up message to authorize the usb debugging, select YES.

7) If step 5 & 6 don't come up any long message on the window command prompt, this mean you did not install properly the adb tool in your pc. (refer above to redo)

8) at this step , mean adb is done properly and go back to command prompt in the window

9) enter text "adb shell wm density 320" after the C:\windows\system32>. it look like this C:\windows\system32>adb shell wm density 320 and press enter key on PC

10) Now your phone have change to screen density 320. everything will look smaller now.

11) you need to re-start the Xperia C5 ultra phone and all screen size will completely change to new density 320.

12) you are done. now you can re-arrange your phone icon and have a fresh look !!

How to go back to original screen density

1) repeat the step 1 , 2, 3, 4 & 5.

2) key in C:\windows\system32>adb shell wm density 480 and press enter on pc

3) restart your phone then you will go back to original screen resolution

What works and what not work

work

- all phone function work as normal including screen capture and screen video

- so far I did not encounter any problem, tell me if you know any

- all one hand operation mode is working except the phone key dialer pad as below

not working

- the phone key dialer will not work in one hand mode. It will show error if you have set "one hand mode" on the telephone key dialer

screenshoot as below

Enjoy :cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] scpion:
Does the camera app scale properly?
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] kychan2015:
No, camera resolution and function no changes. work as normal . Only icon size become smaller
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] sarasein:
Did you figure out how to extend the battery life. Mine is 13 hours max?

Sorry of topics but you seems like Sony's McGuyver to me.
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] scpion:
Whoa.. I cant thank you enough for this tip. Never knew changing of DPI is so easy without root. Everything looks so hi-res now. Seriously, everyone should do it. Sony should had done this be default.

Only glitch I see now is the sony home launcher's page indicator is a little misaligned.
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] sarasein:
I already tested and tried as your instruction. However I revert back to 480 as the phone feel warm and I afraid it will explode anytime.
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] thejamesarnold:
I just noticed that the battery life is affected... or is it just me? also the phone is way too hot when I'm using it. hotter than when the DPI is 480
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] kychan2015:
I not sure what wrong. Density and battery should be no connection. You phone is hot because many background processes is running. Try end task all not using app, I think it should be back to normal very fast.
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] kielce:
:confused::confused:

I don't understand... is it supposed that: Higher ppi number gives Sharper screen !!?? But now you lower it to 320?
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] thejamesarnold:
I reverted it back to the original and it's not as hot as it was. I think and sure it was affecting... come to think about it, if the icons are smaller, then it can accommodate more things on the screen thus making the gpu work more in terms of animation but I don't know if that's right. But it did affect my battery life when I changed it.
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] scpion:
Technically yes it makes the gpu work a little harder to draw more things on the screen. But there shouldn't be any noticeable impact on the battery nor heat. Countless other devices changes their dpi but never or hardly were this reported. There should be other factors causing the issue for u.
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] alihacker4:
Is there something between 480~320?
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] gsser:
So if we adjust it to make things smaller to look like a real 1080p, will it effect gaming performance? I mean fps drops?
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] gsser:
apps problem...

i have a problem. i mean there is a problem. i set density to 320 and after that i tried to install minecraft pocket edition v13 b5 which i have taken it from original density(restore). it didnt install it. just gave an error.

Edit: i dont know why but game performances are increased.
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] libcp:
is it not possible to do it using terminal on the phone itself? :)
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] gsser:
I dont think so. It needs root i guess
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] hatrole27:
Looking for this as well... 480 is to big while 320 is quite small.. Any idea if we can set it somewhere between these values? Thanks in advance ..

May I request someone to post screenshots after increasing the screen density? Thank you very much in advanced. :o

You can pick any number you want. I use 360. Just change and try it out until you find a setting you like, you won't break anything.

Windows 10 ==> use Windows 8.1

Windows 10 ==> use Windows 8.1

I had the same problem too, I have Windows 10. I had to jump on someone else's computer and do the process on a Windows 8.1.

When you download the ada, watch the YouTube tutorial of the guy to make sure your drivers are updated.

"How to Install/Fix ADB Drivers on Any Android Phone"

On Windows 10 I kept getting a "null" at the end of the last step writing "abs....320"

On Windows 8.1, once you run it, your Sony phone will get a pop up (always except debugging check box and accept). Quickly click the checkbox to always accept and agree. I restarted the phone, but nothing happened. I had to run it again. Suddenly my whole screen shrunk to 320 density! Then restarted for all the bottom row icons to change too and everything matched.

I'm so glad I found this thread! Thanks so much. I knew the Sony Xperia C5 icons looked ridiculously large skimming photos/reviews when researching this phone. I use to have a Xperia Z Ultra 6.4", I got the C5 to get a large screen, but it looks like it's a screen that was 5" stretched to 6". Huge icons that look like it's for a blind person or a child.

No I just hope it won't overheat as I was reading down the thread. Right now I don't care. I'm so happy it looks sharp and techy and not bubbly thumb icons for a blind bat. :victory:
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] mingkee:
It looks more like Z Ultra after editing. However, since I rooted the phone, I simply edit build.prop (warning: you have to have flashtool and ROM handy just in case).

You can just simply install any ROM customizing app or screen density changer app minus the hassles of build.prop editing.

Works like a charm!

OMG! I did the same steps to the Xperia XA Ultra! Since it's exactly 6 inches like it's predecessor, it worked! I was dreading look of the phone for a whole day. When I factory reset my old Xperia C5 Ultra, and had to redo the steps, I was thinking, maybe I should do it to this phone to.

"How to Change Xperia XA Ultra Screen Density without root"

It's the exact same process, however I had to re-watch the YouTube again. When you plug in your phone you have to wait for the check mark "always except this device" pop-up, before you can start the old DOS typing. Type dbs first, then the rest of the dbs...

previous message...

I got the Xperia C5 Ultra a while back, and noticed the font and icons were obnoxiously large compared to my once Xperia Z Ultra. It just looks like a 5 inch screen stretched to 6 inches... Which technically more screen real estate, it's just for ppl with fatter thumbs. It took me two tries, but I was able to follow the instructions and change the density.

I really hope Sony adds more setting options to change the Xperia experience for those who want a more technical device with sharp text. I don't want my phone to be bubbly and cute icons for large thumbs. To me it looks like the device is optimized for a child.

I just now got the Xperia XA Ultra, then 6 inch successor to the C5. My top icon bar and bottom back and home button seem large to me. Google search bar is quite too large too.
