You guys know the trick to get the update to pop right? The framework trick?

 

[gcubed]

chrome lol, i want my browser to crash less

it would appear you picked the wrong browser then

Except for that can mess with a host of things, of which most people don't want to deal with.

 

[snacknuts]

Not much people hyped for the Moto X? I swear, it seems like it's just Gcubed and myself and we're on again, off again lol

I know it seems to be 2012 spec'd but as someone who is surprisingly happy with his Galaxy S3 (probably thanks to that 2GB of RAM), I'm more interested in the crazy sensors side of things.

And that shit better be getting fast updates.

I'm super hyped for it, but I'm not entirely sure why.

 

[freshair]

The only thing I want in the Moto X is a decent camera. I shattered the screen on my N4 and bought a SG2 for cheap and this thing has a way better camera.

So Googly plz, decent camera! Every other "mid-range" aspect of the phone is fine by me.

I've done this to get the update from 4.1 to 4.2. Messed with my accounts, I had to reconfigure them. Promised myself that I would never do this trick again.

If the battery life is insane and the camera is excellent, especially in low light, I would seriously consider it at the right price.

 

[Junior Mint]

Want it for LTE but I would really prefer having a Nexus device over the Moto X...

 

[Vanillalite]

Only thing I've ever had to do is just delete and readd my Google account. That takes like 2 secs and boom done.

So rumor has it this years Kindle Fire HD refresh could have an S800 processor.

Could this end up being better than the Nexus 7 refresh?

No, because it will still have Amazon's shitty forked version of Android.

 

[Ephemeris]

If it somehow launches at $199, I'm sure the Moto X-men will outnumber Andrex's GAF's Nexus peeps.

No, because it will still have Amazon's shitty forked version of Android.

True, but it couldn't hurt to wait though.

That said, I'm confident the new N7 is the way to go.

Thanks guys.

I'm the one with the Big Boss gif lol

now tell me it gets updates quickly from google and i'm in.

My G+ profile has my GAF name on it

My G+ also has my GAF name. And I am also looking forward to the MOTOx. I just hope its affordable.

Wasn't this what everyone said about the last Kindle?

Moto X will use a nano sim card:

Moto X leaks again and again. This time is about the Nano-SIM tray of the Moto X. It was leaked earlier in an Asian country, Hong Kong. It looks like Moto X is available in different parts of the world.

The image above revealed that the Nano-SIM tray of the Moto X while the device itself was placed exactly beside the Moto X device. From the size of the SIM card, it is indeed the Moto X uses Nano-SIM card. Moto X and iPhone 5 are going to use the same Nano-SIM card. This means, those using Micro-SIM devices need to change a whole new SIM card.

Google and Motorola have their own reasons for the adoption of Nano-SIM card ahead of Micro-SIM card. This leak is a good one as it gives warning to those interested in the Moto X and get ready to change new SIM card.

At the same time, is Moto X is heading out of the United States to other continents? I have doubts on this.

It's not that big of a deal..but it's a hassle for sim swappers like myself

 

[this_guy]

No, because it will still have Amazon's shitty forked version of Android.

Until Amazon puts out an app on Android to stream their videos or watch movies you already own on Amazon, I'm still picking the Kindle Fire HD over a Nexus tablet. I'll put up with Amazon's crappy skin to be able to watch videos as that's more important to me than customizing your home screens. Was hoping for an iPad Mini retina but rumors are saying that won't come out till the spring.

Fucking nanosim. What's wrong with these cunts. We don't want your shitty "standard". Microsim is fine.

Fuck nanosim and fuck Apple for trying to force it down our throats.

 

[Battersea Power Station]

Here are a bunch of cutters and adapters for you fellows.

 

[this_guy]

I keep a few of those on hand. They're cheap, but just make sure to order them before you need them because I had mine shipped from China and it took a few weeks.

 

[Ephemeris]

Thanks. May be hitting up amazon come Thursday if all goes well.

Rumor has it they'll be launching the same day too.

 

[gcubed]

i still think that there is a better then even shot that this thing won't be cheap off contract. Nor sold on the Play Store. Which would mean gcubed waits

I am hoping what the Moto guy said at allthingsD turns out to be true; sounded like they were aiming for a decent price

 

[yyzjohn]

This is to assist all the iPhone 5 converts.

 

[DrFunk]

My bet is $299 for the 16GB and $349 for the 32GB

 

[gcubed]

My bet is $299 for the 16GB and $349 for the 32GB

$50 too much for each

 

[yyzjohn]

They should pull an Amazon and practically give these things away. "You want a Moto X? $49.99!"

 

[tino]

lol, what the Nexus fanboys deserve.

 

[AndyD]

$50 too much for each

That's my feeling. Even $249 seems a lot for mass market. People don't much care on average about being stuck in a contract so compare a $299 X vs. a $199 S4 and people will go for the S4 because its bigger and its cheaper...

 

[Groof]

Is there even any reason for using nanosims over microsims other than size?

 

[Matugi]

$249/$299 off contract, $99/$150 on contract

 

[OriginalThinking]

Is it Thursday yet?

 

[HawkeyeIC]

So if the MotoX turns out to be worth it and cheap, my best move is to buy one and then renew my contract with Verizon for a S4 and sell that, correct?

Cross posting from HTC One thread:

So, is there really no way for HTC One users to get a transparent notification bar? (when not using Sense) I downloaded Super Status Bar and that has a transparent option but it sort of sucks shit.

August 1st?

Swiss National Day?

Could be, but it's not. Sorry. Interestingly I believe today is/was national Cheesecake day in the UK.

Why have I never heard of such a thing before now???!

 

[bjscott05]

Streaming on the MLB app doesn't work with 4.3. Kind of sucks.

You hung with the wrong crowds.

 

[Speevy]

Hey guys, I just put Cyanogenmod 10.1 on my Nook HD+.

What's the most idiot-proof way to get this thing to download apps to my external storage?

 

[Groof]

I don't think so.

The anniversary of Richard the Lionheart defeating Saladin in 1192?

 

[OriginalThinking]

I don't think so.

If you'd been hanging with the right crowds you'd have known about Shrove Tuesday and National Cheesecake day.

The anniversary of Richard the Lionheart defeating Saladin in 1192?

You are getting marginally warmer. If the margin was infinitesimally small.
