    Stagefright status of Turbo 2

    Has anybody with a Turbo 2 run the Zimperium stagefright detector on the phone yet? If so, is it vulnerable or completely patched? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zimperium.stagefrightdetector (Just curious...)

    For all of the people who wanted the new kitkat dialer in 4.4.4 on the droids...

    ... and are disappointed that it wasn't included, you may want to read this thread in to Moto X forum about a problem with the new dialer on 4.4.4: http://androidforums.com/showpost.php?p=6670792 I'm not having wakelock issues with the dialer on the Maxx on 4.4.4.

    Factory Data Reset - Wipe Cache Partition

    I hate to hijack the thread, but, Thom, what's your evidence for this? I think it's impossible that a factory reset would not format the cache partition as well. How did you determine that /cache was untouched?

    The next OTA will be 4.4.3

    On Google+ there was some news yesterday; on a post announcing that the T-Mobile Moto X will be getting an OA to the just-released 4.4.3 this week, David Schuster of Motorola said that after Verizon delayed the 4.4.2 OTA for the 2013 Droids, Motorola decided to hold the update after the recent...

    Updated Motorola Assist app fixed a problem for me

    Yesterday Motorola posted an update to the Assist app on the Google Play Store. This update has a fix for a problem I was having. In one of my cars I have a Kenwood bluetooth stereo. If I am listening to media from my phone on the stereo, I would get no audio interruptions from the Assist app...

    Finally, the Maxx has auto awesome movies

    I'm not sure exactly when it happened, but this morning I noticed that in Google+ the Droid Maxx with KitKat has the setting, under photos in your account in the Google+ app, "use this device to create auto awesome movies". That setting definitely wasn't there as recently as a couple of weeks...

    Aviate launcher invites

    Just FYI to all of my Maxx friends here: I still have three invitation codes for the Aviate launcher left. If anybody wants one, just PM me with your email address and I will send out an invite (to the first three, obviously). Just a word of caution: the home key bug on KitKat makes Aviate a...

    Factory reset after KitKat update

    I finally did a factory reset of my phone on Monday after the KitKat update, and thought that I would share my experience. As background, my phone was having a definite loss of battery life that seemed to coincide with the update. I also noticed one other issue: my phone kept prompting me for...

    Did anybody have a bricked phone from the KitKat update?

    I haven't seen it reported here, though there is a big thread about this on Motorola's public forum: https://forums.motorola.com/posts/944892be33 It seems pretty horrible, with bad timing to boot (late in the week before a holiday week.) Several people with completely stock, never been...

    Root Has anybody who has rooted the phone restore it with RSDLite using a FXZ?

    The subject line asks my question. If the answer is no, then I would seriously think more than twice before I rooted this phone right now. If you root, and there is no way yo go back to stock, you should know that quite definitively before going through the process.

    Trusted bluetooth and Pebble watch

    I bought a Pebble smartwatch as part of the kickstarter campaign but have hardly used it since receiving it. I really only used it when I was driving solo in the car, so that I could see who a call or text message was from without having to stop the car (I will not touch my phone while I am...

    Which bloatware have you disabled?

    When I first received the phone I noticed that the "Caller Name ID" app would pop up when I received a call. Well, ok, I thought; unnecessary but harmless. However, after a while I received a popup telling me that this was a 15 day trial and I could start an account, etc. No thanks...

    Battery life

    Last night, for whatever reason (I think I didn't plug the charger in all of the way) my phone didn't charge. If this had happened with either of my last two android phones, I'd have been freaking out when I woke up. Well, I went to bed with 65% battery life left, and woke up with 61% left. I...

    Auto brightness seems screwy

    I always use auto brightness on my phone rather than messing with brightness controls manually. One thing I've noticed with the Maxx, though, is that the brightness tends to change frequently while just sitting in the same environment. So, I'll be sitting indoors somewhere, notice the screen...

    Help Active notifications - choose an app?

    One thing I've noticed about active notifications is that the swipe up only allows you to open one app. If there are multiple apps that have posted notifications, you can't seem to choose which app to open - the phone displays only a single app, I assume the latest app to post a notification...

    Root New to rooting the Eris? Do *not* install KaosFroyo or Kaos Gingerbread

    The subject line says it all - a lot of people new to rooting decide to install KaosFroyo (or Kaos Gingerbread) for some reason, and it is not something that somebody who is new to the process should be doing. If you want faster stock, with more space for installing apps, try xtrSENSE...

    I'm curious: who else is still using the Eris as their phone?

    Of course we are well past the point where people like me, who bought the Eris early, were able to get upgrades. I'm wondering how many people, besides me, are still using the Eris as their primary phone?
