fuunkychicken Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Back on the Moto X until these eCSFB upgrades are more widespread in West Washington. I forgot how much I actually enjoy using this device. I'm thinking I like it over the Nexus 5 even.

coreystu3783 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 How do I know if I'm getting LTE service or just wi-max 4g. Here in Utah we're just starting to see LTE popping up in some areas. Just wondering if my screen will specifically say "LTE" or if it will always say 4g. Any help is appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geesmill Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Looks like Moto X is now available with a bamboo back. http://www.engadget.com/2013/12/17/moto-x-bamboo-wood/ $100 premium for this option seems a little steep. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geesmill Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 New interactive advert in new Wired magazine. http://www.engadget.com/2013/12/19/moto-x-wired/ Seems like it might have been better placed in a more mainstream magazine , but who knows. Googlerola is spending some dough for the X though. Must be nice to have your own printing press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smalltimehack Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 What's the word on a good case for this phone? A coworker lent me her advocacy phone and I would like to get it protected. On top of adding some bulk to the smallish feeling phone. Sent from my XT1056 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of adding some bulk to the smallish feeling phone. Sent from my XT1056 using Tapatalk I've got a Otterbox Defender on my Moto X and it has already saved the handset and screen. Ended up scraping up the built in screen protector, so I contacted Otterbox and they sent me a new case. They warranty all their cases, which is nice because they are not cheap. I like the feel of the case on the phone because I also felt the phone was small in the hand. The Defender adds some heft, but it still feels good in the hand. Good luck.

I tried the defender case at my store and I didn't like the corner nubs digging into my hands when I was holding it. Doesn't really matter much since I switched back to my Nexus. I turned it on and compared screens next to the moto and it doesn't even compare. Thanks for the input though. Appreciate someone at least answering.

Seeing as how I still on 3G I figure a single band LTE handset can't hurt. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalltimehack Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I highly recommend the N5 if you have the moto x. It's the big brother to the moto just without touchless assist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newboyx Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I highly recommend the N5 if you have the moto x. It's the big brother to the moto just without touchless assist.Also without Active Notifications, trusted bluetooth, Moto Assist, great battery life, and the amazing ergonomics. All that bring said, I really enjoy my Nexus 5. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being rooted running Franco kernel I have gotten 5 hours screen on time on a bigger phone that to me just fits better in my hand. The moto felt like a toy to me. I honestly don't do the gimmick thing too much. I used OK Google now twice in 3 days. No joke. So to me having all the extra features really doesn't mean anything.

Bob Newhart Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 How is the radio in the Moto X? Does it get better reception than the Nexus 5? Just as good if not better. The MotoX battery lasts almost twice as long too. The Nexus 5 is quite poor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nexuss4g Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Any Moto X users waiting for Lollipop update ? I wonder if Sprint will bake the Sprint Zone app in the update, now that Google includes VPL (Virtual Preload) to download pre set apps fromt he carrier when carrier SIM is recognized on the phone. Hope the Sprint App becomes optional due to the changes in Lollipop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 FYI.. The OG Moto X 2013 to receive Lollipop 5.0.2, Soak Test already in process.

nexuss4g Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I received the Moto Update service last week, but I believe the Soak Test is for the GSM version, not the carrier version. FYI..
