[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] fdupbad:
I updated to B309 on Monday, and every night since, the phone turns itself back on in the middle of the night. It does have the decency to come on in airplane mode (which it was not in before shutting off, and it comes up normal when I turn the phone on myself). It so far has only happened overnight. I shut the phone off while at work also and it makes it through those 8 hours without turning back on. I found one earlier thread on this, but no solutions were discussed. How many others are experiencing this? Tried any tricks? I am thinking of shutting off 'Check for updates' (or automatic updates maybe?) since I don't expect any to be coming any time soon anyways.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
No need to make new threads when there is already one. As far as I know the problem was never resolved. Ask in that thread. If anyone figured it out it would be there...
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MT2-User:
Why not update to B322?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ScoobSTi:
This. 322 is the (probably) final release. Should have minimal bugs.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nihar Ratadia:
Today my friend took my Mobile phone for couple of minutes and later gave me a phone having a new screen lock over it. The phone when I gave was locked with PIN Protection and it had no access to the Internet. He doesn't know the password of the phone nor of my Google Account. He didn't even booted the phone into Recovery mode through which he could flash the bypassing zip available over different threads. He has done this on HTC, Sony, Samsung, and which so ever Android phone. He had done so even on iPhone 6. I want to know if this is possible like is there any master reset option to do on Android and if yes then how can even I do? Help and thanks in advance! :confused::eek:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Perseus:
Your question, although apparently genuine, opens the doors wide open for it to be misused by other individuals. Hence it violates XDA Rules. So, need to close this thread for that reason.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Martingitdave:
I've been using the Droid Turbo since the original launch date. I picked up the Turbo 2 this morning on the way to the office. Here are my observations thus far:

Good

Turbo charging is much faster.

The screen quality is great (plastic smchmastic!)

Power and volume buttons are improved.

This puppy is fast!

Android 5.1.1 is snappy.

New Moto tools are nice. I'm fond of "lift for voice."

The form factor is an improvement over the Turbo.

Addition of the SD card is very welcome!

I prefer the soft touch material to the Kevlar or ballistic nylon options on the Turbo.

The camera is surprisingly good and has zero shutter lag. It took some good pictures in low light.

Drum roll please... The volume is excellent!!!

Not so good

Do they have to keep making them bigger?

Did I mention it's bigger?

A fingerprint scanner would have been a welcomed addition.

In case you hadn't noticed, it's bigger.

Silly little Verizon logo on the chin is unnecessary.

I'll update this list throughout the day.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] calash:
Thank you for posting. I am planning on a trip to Verizon after work to take a look, possibly buying if they have color combos that I like.

My questions, if you have time.

Are the front speakers stereo and how well does it work with the bottom one cut in half?

How is the screen in sunlight?
[Droid Turbo 2 General] asuhoops8628:
Any chance you can post a photo/vid of the screens side by side on like min/mid/max brightness?

I have a Maxx, but won the DT2 during the droidseeker disaster yesterday
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Martingitdave:
Sorry. I traded in the Turbo. Congrats on winning one. I got kicked out of the game 5 times with no success.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] asuhoops8628:
ah, damn. Would you say its comparable? Heard some questions about the increased "gap" between the front panels and the actual screen underneath.

Re: winning, i got really lucky got booted alllllll day, then around 10 ish i gave it "one last shot" & it just started working perfectly.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] rajuabju:
So screen ISNT a downgrade despite 500 layers of materials? Did you have a chance to put the Turbo and Turbo-2 side by side to compare? Thats one thing definitely concerning me.

Also, I assume the speakers, despite 2 grills, are NOT stereo, right? Can you confirm that? glad to hear volume is improved.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Martingitdave:
I can't speak to being stereo, or not. The sound is very good. The screen is much easier to read in daylight than my Droid Turbo.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Martingitdave:
Perhaps, but I can't find fault with it. Probably more black around the screen then some of the newer slimmer phones.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] AliceBToklas:
I've read reviews that say only the right portion of the bottom speaker bit is actually used for music/speakerphone. No idea if they knew what they were talking about though. Could the bit to the left just be for looks?
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Martingitdave:
No, as far as I am concerned the screen quality is at least equal.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] skuppej:
Yeah I'd say the negatives pretty much come down to:

1. Big

2. No fingerprint scanner yet

3. Screen size is not as big as it could be, verizon logo, lost some of the aesthetic appeal since the Moto X
[Droid Turbo 2 General] benjamminh:
Fwiw I looked at four different T2s and every screen was dark and dingy compared to my Pure with full brightness on all of them.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] calash:
At the Verizon store last night. Thanks to a non-motivated sales person I did not leave with one, but I got mine ordered on Moto-maker under contract.

The screen was fine for me holding it next to a HTC One M7. I may be more forgiving than others so a personal inspection is a real good idea.

This may just be me but I was kind of expecting stereo speaker output and this is not the case. Youtube played from the lower speaker area on the demo units at Verizon.

Edit: On a side note, does Motomaker normally ship in less than 24 hours? I put in my order at 10pm and this morning Verizon sent me tracking info. That seems a bit fast...I hope they get my order right.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Martingitdave:
I overheard a sales person saying that they give you a code to follow up with Moto directly. No idea if this is true. Probably a lot of confusion with a new program.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] asuhoops8628:
I put a motomaker order in at about 9pm last night, by 1030, it was "being built." I could see it shipping in 24 hours based on this. I seem to remember hearing motomaker would be 1-2 days to build.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] JasonJoel:
Against my principle of waiting for it to have android 6 (so I have no right to complain if it takes forever to get marshmallow... I knew better Lol), I picked up a turbo 2 today.

So far I like it a lot. I was worried about the screen being too detached with all of the layers, and while it does seem farther away than on my note 5, it isn't a big deal to me.

No fingerprint scanner isn't a big deal to me since I have a moto 360, and use it as a trusted device.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] gfrrt:
Picked up a dt2 today. Traded in my old lg g2. Loved my droid maxx and still have it as a backup phone. So far I'm really liking this phone. Screen is bright and ui seems fast. Camera is OK but I've seen better. Fp scanner would have been nice but not a have to for me right now. Under development option there's a unlock oem bootloader toggle. Not sure what's that about. It can't be that easy. Yeah the split grills at bottom are not too attractive but hey who really looks at your phone but you. It's not that big a deal to me. Sound is pretty good. Overall I'm happy.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] rcklss1:
So been away from XDA for a while but just picked up my Droid Turbo 2 and loving it so far... Nice solid build quality, solid reception, Ballistic material has a nice feel, cameras are typical moto in my opinion but good enough for my use... the front flash for the times when the gf wants a selfie is going to be a big plus... overall very pleased so far... looking forward to more time with this device....

Also OEM (bootloader unlocking) has a toggle under developer options so maybe it wont be so locked down...
[Droid Turbo 2 General] rajuabju:
Just ordered my Turbo2.

Considering I was able to get the trade-in promo of $300 value for my existing Turbo, and use account upgrade on the new Turbo2, I'm actually coming out ahead. Wow.

Awesomeness.

Goodbye root :(
[Droid Turbo 2 General] graymonkey44:
Really? I was going to order online and was going to do the promotion of the trade in, but they only appraised my Turbo at a value of $191
[Droid Turbo 2 General] waterninja21:
Man they gave me $200 for my Galaxy S4 towards my trade in. Your Turbo must have been messed up
[Droid Turbo 2 General] rajuabju:
CALL and do it over the phone.

You cant (from what I can tell) get the promotion to $300 online. I was also showing $191 online. So I called
[Droid Turbo 2 General] charklos:
You get $200 if you're doing an upgrade, even if your existing phone is broken. You get $300 if that's the regular value of your phone, or if it's a new line.

Guys I need a little help just got the turbo 2 love it. That's not the issue I have a itian qi charger it works with me maxx and my wife's turbo. However it doesn't charge my turbo 2. Has anyone else had qi issues.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] waterninja21:
I have the wireless charger from Verizon and works great no issues here

---------- Post added at 09:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 AM ----------

Also when I first used mine last night is that there are instructions on screen to move the phone to align with wireless charger
[Droid Turbo 2 General] xjack:
My generic qi pad and my tylt vu work fine with turbo2
[Droid Turbo 2 General] vpr5703:
SO far, first impressions of this thing are great. I haven't used a Moto device since the Electrify M on US Cellular, and I loved that phone. I am also coming from an LG G3, so take these into consideration.

Plus -

Quick. Nearly no lag at all.

Turbo Charge is nice to have, my G3 took forever to charge.

Screen is pretty good

Feels high quality.

Negative -

Sharp corners on aluminum frame are a little awkward to get around while holding it.

Stupid VZW logo ruins the bottom of the phone. Even on the black one.

The screen lights up every time it thinks you're picking it up. Not really a huge negative, but interesting.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] gabo_e30:
Got the phone last night after a Co worker dropped and shattered my phones. Then i decided to get this shatterproof phone a try. I've had all. Major flagships this year and I had settled for a gs6 64gb. Now that I have a Moto again.... My gosh did I miss this battery life. See attached. The phone is fast and barely gets hit when plugged in. Screen gets really bright and very dim. Camera is very good even in low light. The only two very minor complaints are the size (lil unmanageable with one hand in bed) and no fingerprint. Oh well...

Other than that I think this phone is the best phone in the market. Reviews and firsts impressions online nitpick I feel like. Moto made a keeper with this puppy

Thanks. My browser really hosed this reply up....
[Droid Turbo 2 General] kbcoma:
I couldn't agree more with the poster who noted the dim screen! I went to a Verizon store last night to take a look at this phone (which i have been waiting for and would have been my third Maxx/Turbo!) after reading a review that called the screen a "gray dingy mess". After fiddling with the brightness a while, it dawned on me this is a deal breaker for me. If not for the phones screen, what's the point? This screen is DIM, and I can't see how anyone could possibly say otherwise. Just holding it next to my current Turbo, I needed to dim my screen to about 65% to make them the same. Now, I'm not saying that someone wouldn't mind the screens brightness, or that it might not someone's "deal breaker" item, or it might even be better outside, and that's cool. It's a great phone otherwise, but the fact remains - the screen is NOTICEABLY DIMMER, and if that's important to you, I highly recommend you see the phone before ordering it online, and decide for yourself what you think. For me? I'll spend some time researching replacements for the screen so I can then enjoy the Turbo 2's other improvements.

As an aside, I'm sure we've all read about removing the top layer to get rid of the Verizon logo (if that's something that annoys you), but if anyone here has removed it, can you let us know if that improves the screens brightness any?
[Droid Turbo 2 General] vpr5703:
I compared the Turbo 2 at my local store to my G3, both at full brightness. While the Turbo 2 screen was a bit dimmer, I haven't seen a problem reading the device yet. Keyword I guess - Yet. At home, under my bright lights, it seems to do well. Full sunlight will be the true test. Have you had it out in daylight, yet?
[Droid Turbo 2 General] benjamminh:
That was me! It is dark and dingy compared to the MXPE. It will be interesting to see what reviews say but I can't change what my eyes saw.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] bigv5150:
Well the qi charger is working now just have to move it around a little.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] vpr5703:
I want to get a car dock for mine. I love the idea of wireless charging for the car, but I've never had a phone that came with Qi/PMA charging.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] alhadee12:
Sounds like the screen issue will be a problem. I may go take a look at it myself and see it. Did you look at the Maxx while you were there?
[Droid Turbo 2 General] bigv5150:
][QUOTr=alhadee12;63590179]Sounds like the screen issue will be a problem. I may go take a look at it myself and see it. Did you look at the Maxx while you were there?

Maxx screen looks better well maybe not better just brighter. Trust me the screen is good who ever said it was a muddy mess is high. Is it a Samsung no but what phone is. I am very happy with the phone.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] alhadee12:
I went to Verizon today and the screen looked fine to me. However, I didn't pull the trigger to purchase one.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] bigv5150:
Here is a screen shot I just took.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] gfrrt:
I did compare the screen to other phones before I purchased this one. It wasn't that noticeable at all. There were brighter screens sure but not that big of a difference. And they were glass and not shatter proof. I noticed that adaptive display does make it worse. So I turned it off.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] bigv5150:
Here is a screen shot with a bright wallpaper brightness at max.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] mech_supernova:
I just got mine and realized its kinda falsely advertised it has the bigLITTLE thing so only half of its Cores are 2ghz not all 8 like the site sugest also it has infrared listed in the sensors I thought it was a blaster which was a selling point for me but its not, anyone know what it actually is?
[Droid Turbo 2 General] INCREMENTAL:
To the guys that have the phone, is there a persistent WiFi notification all the time or only when u got the WiFi on? Thanks.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] gfrrt:
Only when its on
[Droid Turbo 2 General] alhadee12:
What made you choose this phone? I'm still considering it, but not sold yet.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] gfrrt:
Many things, battery, fast, moto features that I love. Had a maxx so this is like the maxx on steroids. This phone has just about everything but a finger print scanner. Shatter proof was just icing on the cake. Now I am hoping it doesn't get left behind with updates like they have in the past. So far I have zero regrets.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] 007shark:
I am watching this thread because I am considering upgrading from the Sony Xperia Z3v to this. I love the battery life of my Sony, but miss the Moto features that I had on my Moto X(2013). I was waiting for Motorola to finally go back to adding microSD support. This to me, is the best of Motorola this year. The Moto X is too big and battery life is not exceptional. I wish they would had brought over the stereo speakers from the Pure Edition to this. Updates should be faster than my Sony. I am still on KitKat which it shipped with from a year ago.

To those who have it, how does it compare size and comfort from other phones?
[Droid Turbo 2 General] INCREMENTAL:
Can the bloatware apps besides the VZW ones be uninstalled? I watched a video a bit ago that said they could and he uninstalled 2 of them but that was all, anyone care to share a app list of what can be uninstalled? Thanks.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] bigv5150:
As far as heat this doesn't get hot at all I am on a trip to upstate NY right now with navigation running and charging surfing the web. Hottest Gsam said was 41 Celsius it's usually around 37.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] alhadee12:
It's the trade-in offer only good for phones that actually work?
[Droid Turbo 2 General] INCREMENTAL:
So just went to Verizon and looked at it after people have said the screen is dim. First I had a original turbo and after no updates to lollipop in forever I went to the Nexus 6 which has a slightly brighter screen then the original turbo. After comparing all 4 turbo 2s on display the turbo 2 has a slightly brighter screen then my nexus 6 so it looks good to me. Open chrome on both phones and pull up the Google Page and compare.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] charklos:
The phone can have a cracked screen, but it has to power on/off, look in decent shape, etc
[Droid Turbo 2 General] alhadee12:
Thanks, I'm trying to decide if I want to get one with that type of discount.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] charklos:
I work at vzw and tbh this is a great promo to take advantage of. I have an old iPhone 4 my son used to use and to get $200 for that pos is a steal! Lol
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Guyinlaca:
I had a chance to check out the Turbo 2 at Verizon for a good 20 minutes. My thoughts...

PROS:

+The AMOLED screen is very clear and cooler in color temperature; it's definitely easier on the eyes than backlit IPS screens on other Motos. Last year's AMOLED's in the Turbo and Nexus 6 had a high rate of yellow/pink tinging and "color shifting" from one side of the screen to the other so this is an improvement.

+The phone does seem louder than last year's Turbo.

+The phone is VERY fast and responsive.

+The "Soft Touch" triangular pattern looks and feels great in person.

+The power and volume keys have good texture, feel sturdy and give an affirming click.

+As mentioned, the Verizon check mark is attached to the top layer of screen protector, and can be replaced. I'd be curious to see if glass is an option for those who prefer it over plastic.

CONS:

-The bezels are unnecessarily large. Even having a Nexus 6, the Turbo 2 feels wide. The phone was right next to the MAXX 2 which has a slightly larger screen, smaller bezels, and looks/feels much more streamlined.

-As one reviewer said, the Turbo 2 is so lightweight, it doesn't feel as premium. Some may prefer this, but ditching glass and using a thin metal frame feels different. Without glass, your finger doesn't glide across the screen as smoothly. It's not a make or break, but purists will notice.

-The display model screen was already loaded with hairline scratches. Plastic protectors are much more prone to scratches than glass. In all fairness, the Note 5 display model looked like someone took sandpaper to it as well.

All in all, I applaud Motorola for venturing into shatterproof screens, and on that front they did an amazing job. However, for those of us with the Nexus 6 or original Droid Turbo, I don't see a TRUE upgrade coming from Motorola this year. The original Droid Turbo has a higher screen to body ratio, larger battery, smooth glass touch surface, a more premium feel, and arguably negligible difference in performance between the 805 and 810 chips. Those of us with the Nexus 6 were hoping for a beefed up Moto X Pure with better battery and improved AMOLED, but we're out of luck. I'd recommend this phone to anyone who is accident prone, really needs MicroSD card support or is able to get a large trade in credit to buy one. Otherwise, the 2014 Turbo and MAXX 2 or even the discounted Nexus 6's seem to be a better value overall.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] alhadee12:
Did you trade up or got a new line?
[Droid Turbo 2 General] charklos:
I didn't actually pull the trigger yet, but I walked the upgrade thru on the website and the device appraised at $200 [emoji6]

sent from my turbo!
[Droid Turbo 2 General] alhadee12:
I'm getting ready to do the same. Not sure if I'll pull the trigger.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] buildscapeinc:
Only one of them is a speaker. I covered the left one & nothing changed. Covered the right one & all sound went away. There was no sound coming out of the left one.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] JasonJoel:
I have to disagree on the screen slipperyness. This screen is very slippery - more so than my note 5 is for sure, even though the turbo 2 is plastic.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] gabo_e30:
Cpu: every cpu is like that. It's an advertising thing. True but not the whole truth.

IR: no where in the specs you get IR blaster... The IR they're referring to are the ones located on each of the four (3on this turbo) corners of the screen (better visible at night or on the white model)
[Droid Turbo 2 General] bigv5150:
I agree as well if I was not told there was no glass in this screen I would have thought it was glass.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] gfrrt:
I can't tell that is plastic. Feels good to me. I see Motorola is selling the outer replacement screen for 30 dollars. Wonder will aftermarket make these as well.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] JasonJoel:
I would expect that 3rd parties will make them too. Might take a few months to hit the market.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] bigv5150:
I just bought some cheap screen protectors on amazon
[Droid Turbo 2 General] gfrrt:
I bought a glass screen protector but I don't think I'm gonna use it. Gonna see how well this holds up since the sell replacements now.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] finger11:
Out of curiosity how much could this sell for on sites like Swappa? I'm receiving this phone today only because I had my VZN upgrade available and wanted to renew my unlimited data plan before the $20/month fee takes place. I plan to sell the Turbo 2 and then pay full price for phone in '16. Should I sell for 10% off full VZN price?
[Droid Turbo 2 General] kerrigjl:
Recent sales have been for 490-500 on Swappa.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] finger11:
D'oh... didn't scroll down to see recent sales. What are the chances this gets unlocked/rooted? That's the only way I'd keep it.
