    Hand On Review

    Moto X4. Great phone. I got the Fi version. I've had Nexus 4, 5, 5X and 6P. This phone is right in there. Specifics: Screen: great quality, I can't tell any difference in vibrancy, etc. Larger than the 5X, smaller than the 6P. It's a great size. It is not as easy to read in full sun as the...

    WiFi Connectivity Issues

    I've been battling wifi issues (won't connect at work) on both my N5X and my old N5 since updated to Marshmallow. Lots of others with similar issues in the forums. Finally got to the bottom of it, see link below. Appears to be an enterprise server software issue, not a problem with 6.0...

    Hands on

    Initial impressions. Bigger than I thought - that's the only negative. Absolutely LOVE the fingerprint reader. So damn fast. Don't have to turn the phone on or anything, just touch it and the phone is on, open and ready to go. The camera is very good - best on a Nexus device so far. (maybe not...

    Help Screen Time Out

    Does anyone else think the screen times out too quickly? Is there a way to keep it on longer than 5 secs so I can actually admire the watch face? :)

    kitkat Exchange / ActiveSync

    Anyone else having issues with kitkat? Since the update I'm continuously syncing, but not getting new email. And it's draining my battery big time. I've checked the usual suspects (recurring calendar events with no end date, etc.) Prior to the update, never had a problem.

    Time Lapse Video

    The time lapse video on this phone is great - way better than my old Galaxy Nexus. Good settings, but it also "smooths" frame transitions amazingly well. Bravo LG.

    Co-Star Remote

    I love my Vizio Co-Star. The remote is great, with one hitch. Using my thumbpad (for Chrome, etc.) the cursor moves effortlessly, but I have trouble making a "selection". If the cursor is on a link or button, it takes me 5-6 tries of tapping (hard, soft, it doesn't matter) for it to...

    Help Voice Search "Initializing"

    Voice Search on my VGN worked flawlessly in ICS. In JB, half the time it pauses with "Initializing" for 5+ seconds when I launch it, which pretty much defeats the purpose. You end up talking to yourself. It's bad enough when your kids ignore you - now the phone, too. :) I thought this might...

    Straight Talk

    I'm currently on VW with a GN but thinking about switching to GSM version and getting Straight Talk (ST) like several folks on this forum have suggested. On the ST site there are 2 maps. The one labled "Non-Android Coverage" is great, but when I look at the ST Android coverage map, it doesn't...

    Kudos to ICS/GN on Voice Recognition

    Two months with the phone and daily I'm still blown away by how well ICS and the Nexus work together for voice recognition and dictation. It's always worked pretty well in Android, but ICS absolutely nails it. Now that it processes simultaneously with your speaking and doesn't wait until you're...

    Very good music transfer

    After experimenting with several different ways to get music on my new GN and not wanting to go the Google Music cloud route, I've settled on iSyncr (from the App store). It works with iTunes and syncs whatever playlists you want. Works great on GN! It's not a player, which is fine with me...

    Bionic Lapdock - Is it worth it?

    Not a lot of lapdock chatter. Anyone got it? Is it worth it?

    Was 4G Really Worth Waiting For?

    Everyone seems to be dancing around 4G - turning it off to save battery, worried about weak LTE reception constantly seeking signal when 3G is plentiful, etc. So..... is 4G worth it? Would the Bionic be 95% of the phone it already is even if it didn't have 4G?

    A Moment of Silence

    Begging the moderator's forgiveness, but may we have a moment of silence for the end of Palm (WebOS), that really started the smart phone movement with the Treo in 2003. Hard to believe how far we've come in 8 years. Palm really knew how to do it well. Rest in peace. How many of you started...

    Bionic Specs from Moto Website

    You may have seen that yesterday Motorola briefly had up on their website a specifications chart for both the Bionic and Droid 3. There were two things that I don't fully understand: 1 - MEDIA FORMAT The Droid 3 listed "Android core media formats, WMA 10 decoder, WMV 9 decoder, H.264 encoder...

    Salve for the latest Bionic delay

    If it makes our painful wait for the Bionic release any easier, the Sprint Photon 4G, which is essentially the Sprint version of the Bionic, was released yesterday and is getting rave reviews. It appears the phone is definitely worth waiting for... if we can resist SGS2 temptation when it hits...

    I Need an LTE Primer

    This one's for the radio/phone techs out there. How about a short course in LTE. I sort of understand the difference between CDMA and GSM. Where does LTE fit in? Is it an entirely different standard that requires another radio in the phone, or can a LTE radio also do CDMA or GSM? Does LTE...

    Help Accidental phone calls

    Call me careless, but because the phone goes to the Call Log screen at the end of a call, it's very easy to accidentally "touch" the screen and call someone. Is anyone else doing this?? Anyway to have the screen go to the Dialer or Home page or something after a call? I can hang-up and then...

    Former Treo users - Android app like 2Dial?

    Palm/Treo had a great app called 2Dial, which popped up whenever you phoned voicemail and replaced the standard phone dialpad. So instead of having to remember to press "3" to fastfoward a message, there was instead a ">>" button, "Del" instead of a "7", etc. Anything similar in Android?? The...
