Why would the nexus 5 leak already, it's pretty far off still. And I don't see why it wouldn't be coming, especially if google wants to keep up the facade that they aren't showing motorola any favouritism.
I think next year might be a different story.
Only spec I care about in the year 2013 is battery life and camera. Everything else is adequate.

Specs are nice will not say no but so long as the phone is faster than my Galaxy nexus takes much better pictures and has a long lasting battery I am easy.
Also concur with Pyro whilst I don't love iOS I do think Apple makes the best all round smartphone out there bar none.

Well hopefully we see some official stuff soon considering the Moto X is supposed to be out in about a month.

If its not leaked you shouldn't bring it up in every one of your post. You are basically misleading casual Android-GAF.

I do like the second video here for the moto x: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Moto...-command-on-video-confirms-some-specs_id45292
when he clicks the link for reddit I like how it fluidly transitions into the browser. The future of android I hopes.

I hope it sells too only because I want google to have their own iphone. Take control of android back.

They need to release some decent camera software first. Maybe in KLP...

I think it'll be one of the major focuses for key lime pie, they've been mentioning it more recently and it's the one place they're obviously being outclassed by just about every other manufacturer.

I don't know if it has been posted, but a lot of the pics and videos are straight from Reddit user http://www.reddit.com/user/KronikBudz who has the phone.
I haven't tried asking him anything, but he seems to be pretty open to posting info. The back of the phone doesn't look removable he said... so I guess you can't swap plates after it leaves the factory?? I dunno; maybe it's just his prototype. Also, he says everything is extremely fast.
EDIT: The always-on search is called Open Mic, and you can change the trigger phrase, but it has to be of a certain length.
There's no noticeable battery drain with the feature enables, allegedly.

thanks for that
oh wow the phone is actually a great size. He said 2.5 inches wide and 5 inches tall. That's 63.5mm wide and 127mm tall which is pretty great these days. I hope google sticks with this size or less for now and always.
I'm gone for one day and look at all this discussion happening.
At this point with all the leaks that have been going on, they should just formally announce the Moto X and just send out the spec sheet. Everything seems to be good and fluid right now and honestly, stock Android (or close to stock in this case) seems to be an easy task to handle for anything from the S4 Pro and above.
In the leaked videos we see the phone be very responsive and if that holds true even in everyday life, then the silicone won't be much of an issue. I'm with Pyro on this one, the only specs we really need to know at this point is battery and camera. Are those two stellar, combined with a compelling price point I can definitely see this phone becoming a favourite. Especially if the customisation options will be wide and available across the globe, though I doubt that.
Personally however, I'll be waiting for next year's holiday season. As long as my N4 runs as it has been up to now I'll be in no rush to upgrade.
edit: and that bezel-less frame is quite the thing, too.

It is customizable. The phrase you use just has to be a certain length I believe he said. Obv no one is gonna say moto magic that's horrible lol.
Thank the stars!
I wonder how well it'll be able to recognise those kinds of triggers, though.
I hope there is DLC for GLaDOS's voice, also EDI's voice wuhahahahaa.
A certain length? Well there goes my use of "klaatu barada nikto".

Hey Gaf, I've been using my HTC One for a month or two now and absolutely love it.
But lately I've been having problems with one of my contacts, specifically my mom.
For every contact on my phone my ringtones work perfectly. I get notification blinking saying I had a missed call or text or whatever. But with my mom, I get no notification, I get no ringtone, and I have to go into my messages or phone history to find out if I had a missed call or text.
Any ideas on why this happens only with her? I checked and don't have her blocked, by the way. It's just a confusing and annoying thing that keeps popping up because obviously it's my mom, so it's kind of essential to have good communications going.

Code "open Hangouts" to "magnets"
Code "moto magic" to "YEAH BITCH"

Your not androidgaf, you're hatergaf.

What about "heyo, bitch?"
since the only data point we have is 'ok moto magic' which is 6 syllables, 7 phonemes, my guess is the minimum would be somewhere around there. IMO the best phrase would be something from an obscure foreign language.
It shouldn't be that hard, if the phone has a couple mikes, it can tell if you are it at arm's length and speak into it.
Seems logical to avoid unintentional activation. Though, I imagine it might be difficult with a requirement like that, even if generic.
With "Google," I was perfectly content with that default Google Now phrase. But anything beyond that comes off as an attempt to personify the device by referring to it via almost pet name-like moniker. But who knows, maybe it'll actually catch on.

Can you clarify? Are you talking about the app drawer that holds all your apps?
You can go to Settings, Apps, All and Disable or Uninstall any apps you don't need. They'll disappear from the app drawer.

Or download titanium pro and delete anything you want, including carrier and manufacturer bloat that often can't be deleted through those means.

It's still better to freeze system apps (which is the same as Disabling them), since deleting some might result in a bricked phone after the next system reset.
LOL @ # 2
This is rather ironic considering Samsungs success with the Galaxy line runnig on a "proprietary' interface. Most people could not care less about stock android, or even know wtf that is. What a load of bullocks.
