why do you say that? tbh i think the pixels kinda ugly also so its a def no from me and i wish u could feel the htc 10 in hand first.

but being that it's mostly gone from retail stores.. it's an almost impossible task.
[Nexus 6P General] crixley:
I just can't see spending that much for a pixel, and there isn't really anything else that has a ton of aosp ROMs where you don't lose something, be it camera quality, etc.

I agree it is ugly lol
[Nexus 6P General] richii0207:
Cellphones, like cars, clothing, and everything else, someone's taste may not reflect what you actually like.

Example, my answers for the following questions

What defines expensive?

- over $250

What defines a good looking device?

- black front phone due to mach bands (also why TVs have black borders)

What defines an incredible experience​?

- functionality ans simplicity

What defines a good size phone?

- over 6 inch screen

The best thing to do is do research.
[Nexus 6P General] drago10029:
I have researched and researched well. but decided to see what others have to say, many ideas are always better than just the one.

appreciate your feedback :good: and I agree w/ the price part but really wanted a nexus phone. i kinda thinking about the Moto G5 Plus. just need more time to research it.

just to share my little experience switching to ios : WORST DECISION EVER !

If someone tells you ios is so smooth 60fps all around, no statter no thing well they're ABSOLUTELY wrong ! The nexus 6p with a good ROM is much smoother than a iphone 6s 64gb ! That's just a FACT ! And ios is made for dummies ! Some tasks take double the work to do, u need 3 clicks to share a screenshot on android but on ios you need 8 to 10 clicks ! Every aosp user should NEVER EVER think about moving to ios. These damn iphones are so expensive for nothing ! yes the hardware may be nice but ios is just such an incomplete experience. At the end of the day, do u want a normal phone to make normal tasks (iphone) or do u want a small computer in your pocket (android).
[Nexus 6P General] crixley:
Mine is always fast, so is my son's iPhone 6. Never lags even a little. Ui wise (general speed) it blows android out of the water. The limitations are why I can't switch completely.

Everything you're saying is bs too, I'm pretty sure you're making it up and have never had one. Both android and iOS are great, No need to be a fanboy of either.

Android is 110% not even in the same vicinity as iPhone when it comes to speed, it isn't even on the same continent.

Ui and polish comes with simplicity. If it had the feature set of android with the polish of iOS, I'd be all over it.

So for now I need to use two devices to get my tech cravings in.
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] onryo:
I bought three G5 with 3GB or RAM for myself, wife and mother. The plus model was not available at the time here in Sweden.

All three of the phones have a very strange and in your face garbled metallic sound when filming video. This sound distortion makes video in places where there is natural background noise unbearable. Is there anyway to fix this problem? Am I the only one with this issue? Lost a lot of video of my newly born baby because of this sound issue =(

Thanks
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] KawaiiNeko:
same thing here, G5 3GB RAM and mic sounds like rubbish, seems like the same issue the Nexus 5 had, where the filter were too aggressive and instead ruined the sound. the solution was to completely disable the filter with some kind of patch.

This is from the other day on my own phone. My wife has a zillion videos that sound the exact same way on her phone. This weird noise only shows up if there is background noise.

All three phones have this issues. All three phones are bought here in Sweden:

Moto G5

3GB RAM

16 GB ROM

64 GB SD card

Version: PVT1

SKU: XT1676

Build number: NPP25.137-15

Software Channel: reteu

Baseband Ver: M8937_8000.122.02.40R

Any clue on what this is and how to deal with it? Should I just return all three phones?
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] jpm92:
I also bought mine in Sweden and I have the same problem...I already contacted Sweden Technical support. Please do the same so they are aware of the incident. If you check lenovo's forum there's more people with the same problem.

You can contact them in motorola rest of europe (roe) section. I'm not allowed to post links :/

I'll call them tomorrow! Ericsson bought 50 G5 XT1676. All of the phones have that trash background noise when I asked around. I was given a phone but I bought two to give to my family.
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] jpm92:
They offered me to replace the unit on the mails, but it's obviously a common issue, so there's no point. Maybe they are more understandable on the phone. Also remember to ask if they know when is the spring finally arriving to Sweden :P

This is what Lenovo had to say. I returned my phones. Some of the others might do the same. Unfortunately for Lenovo Ericsson was going to buy a bunch of Thinkpad X1 Carbon laptops. They are freaking expensive. That is not going to happen now since Ericsson is afraid that Lenovo will not back up its products with fw updates.

Customer Reference number: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Dear XXXXXXXXXXX,

I am writing to you regarding your Moto G 5 phones. The Repairs Department have reviewed your case and have unfortunately not been able to find a satisfactory solution to this sound distortion problem.

We would like to thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. We are terribly sorry for any inconvenience that this has caused. For any further assistance or information please do not hesitate to get in touch with us.

[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] dtonshel:
Just finding this thread. I bought a G5 in Denmark a few weeks ago. I've noticed the same issue. I think it's either a over aggressive noise reduction scheme they've incorporated, or a result of low quality mp4 audio bitrate for recording. Probably a combination of these. Have you found a thread on Lenovo - Motorola that I can find more info about this on? Cheers,
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] jpm92:
Damn, I'm starting to evaluate the possibility of giving it back and get another one (obviously not Lenovo). Screw them, couldnt they just release a update for it? I record a lot of videos usually and this is really annoying...

Thanks for the update though ;)
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] dtonshel:
Hey, looked into it some more. I used the Cinema FV-5 app and found that by disabling the "Automatic Gain Control" of the microphone the sounds are recorded more clearly.

So, the metallic garbled sounds are most likely largely due to an overly aggressive AGC setting on the native camera app combined with whatever settings they have on audio conversion.

Wouldn't it be nice if Moto made an update to the camera app so that you could disable the automatic gain control if you wanted to....
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] jpm92:
I talked to Motorola Support and they told me they're already working on it, but they can't give me any date. At least I know it will be fixed at some point.
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] mbwf:
I am on day 1 of my G5 testing, and yes, I also experience this horrendous "Finding Nemo" underwater sound, caused by overly aggressive audio filtering and/or AGC.

FIX IT LENOVO!

Don't abandon a potential ThinkPad purchase decision based on crappy consumer mobile phone product lines. The business-oriented ThinkPad laptops are superb - I have three ThinkPads here - R61, T430 and an R500, and as a service engineer who ONLY deals with quality equipment, let me tell you, you won't find better laptop hardware from ANY company. The "ThinkPad" range is a continuation from IBM's original line of ThinkPads, and they are the only laptops fully tested, approved, and signed off for use on NASA and ISS missions - that's how robust and dependable they are - the stuff of legends. The consumer <blah>Pad products are not worth a donkey turd, but the "ThinkPad" lines are hot stuff my friend, ANYONE worth their salt will back me up on this view, it's a given - they are built like tanks with carbon fibre composite, glass fibre reinforced plastic, and magnesium alloy construction - not the usual creaky, paper-thin plastic crap palmed off on the vanity market, aka consumers.

[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] onryo:
No doubt the Thinkpad X1 Carbon is a really nice laptop. Its just the buyers for Ericsson want nothing to do with Lenovo now. Instead that department bought 25 'Dell XPS 15 9560' =(

Looks like the G5 is now has some ROMS! Yayyyy!

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shonkin:
Placing this in general because I'm thinking there are a lot of musicians using these tablets.

I love playing with soundcamp. I've had it on my Galaxy Note 4 phone for some time, but had no hope it would work on my P900 tablet. But a recent rom offering allows running it just fine. Not only that, but with all the screen real-estate, the program is smart enough to allow for two keyboards (piano, organ) on one screen. If you kinda like geekin' with electronica or even want to download the blues plug-ins, this rom might be your ticket. It is ported from the Samsung Tab S2. (It disables the camera, so be aware of that before flashing.)

Does anyone know how to change the type of emoji at the system level? Touchwiz has come a long way and I really am okay with it now but Samsung's version of the emojis is still horrendous. I would prefer to change it to the style of the iPhone. I have searched and cannot find a way to change it without root.

There is no wa to change emojis without root. Emojis files are located in the system partition. You can't access or edit it without root.

So i am looking for the location of the emojis but can't find them.

Can someone point me where these emojis are stored in the keyboard.apk ?

Thanks

I downloaded the above mentioned app and it changed the emojis which, i think, simplifies my work. I downloaded the IOS emojis from the "Emoji changer" app and installed them on my s8 . Now i only have to find out where the downloaded emojis are stored and in what .format so i can add my .gif

Although i don't know if the .gifs are accepted as emojis
