Question on Location and battery life. Turning off Location increases battery life of course. But when turned on, there are three settings (at least on my phone): - Low which uses GPS only - Medium which uses GPS and WiFi - High which uses GPS, WiFi, and cell (presumably doing triangulation based off of the cell towers picked up by the phone) Each of these settings is sold as increasing the quality (low->high), but does it impact battery life if enabled? Like, I'd think that using High would help decrease battery usage since triangulation should theoretically be sufficient and GPS sucks battery life.

If you use Waze, it's pretty easy to set it up for British voices and it always works. You have to download the voices but since it's app-specific it always works.

I noticed that having Location Services on for my Moto X makes a big difference in battery consumption. Turn it off unless you need it.

I just want guddamn Lollipop for my Moto X 2013. Why is this so hard? I always like showing it off to people who have large phones - they play around with it and say "wait this is really comfy in the hand and I can do everything with my thumb"

ThermoPhysical posted:Still not sure why people are claiming two Nexus phones again...but anyway.. A comment from a Moto X (2013) owner - we were supposed to get Lollipop late last year, everyone is still waiting with very occasional updates. It's not really clear whether Motorola is going to have a good story going forward for Android updates. Speaking of which - I have the developer edition, what are the disadvantages to rooting?

T-Mobile had something similar using WiFi instead of cell network and it was complete garbage, it even dropped MMS and T-Mobile said "yup." One of the nice things about having an unsupported phone is not having to deal with that crap.

Is the 5X a decent upgrade of a Moto X '13, as far as speed/camera? (Motorola already appears to have forgotten about the 13 so no Marshmallow.)

I'm a little suspicious because quote:Nathan said his vehicle was a point of pride, telling FOX 13 News he had made many upgrades to the vehicle. Now those upgrades are ashes and Nathan will have to find a new ride. I mean, maybe it was the phone, or maybe he tried to burn down his truck to get a big fat settlement from Samsung and he's trying to play it up.

I was holding onto my Moto X 2013 developers edition hoping the Pixel would be terrific but it looks like the overall reaction is... meh? Guess it's the 5X? What are the downsides, I hear the camera isn't great but I already have a Moto and am used to lousy cameras.

Girlfriend has a 5X and every once in a while there's an emoji or two that she has but I don't so it's like Aging already? It just came out last year. I get some phones do that but even the '13 Moto X was still respectable when I bought it in 2014. Is there some hostility towards reasonably priced Androids?

azurite posted:Sounds like the guy wanted to hold on to his blown up phone and tell the media instead of sending the phone to Samsung. Seems more like a "hey, this guy is threatening to gently caress us what should I do," text than something shady. Maybe? From the article: "Samsung asked Klering if they could take possession of the phone and he said no..." It doesn't say what he was intending to do. Maybe he wanted a bit something extra from Samsung in exchange for keeping quiet?

bull3964 posted:So, this G4 Play is nearly as responsive as the MXP and Nexus 5x. I mean, the screen isn't very good compared to those two and it lacks NFC, but I was expecting a larger gap in performance. I'm sure if I played any games on it, it would become apparent where the deficiencies are. But for just browsing and such, color me impressed for the pricepoint. This is one hell of a lot of phone for $130. That's really surprising to hear. And nice, the phone is cheap enough that not getting updates in a year isn't a big deal. How is battery life?

VERTiG0 posted:Yeah we'll have to see what they come out with on Tuesday. Rumour has it that the 3T will be over $600, which after taxes and all that isn't nearly as sweet a deal as the $519 for the current model. I nearly choked when I saw the $900 base price for the shittiest Pixel, so this is still a breath of fresh air. It sounds like the main long-term effect of the Pixel is breaking the $600 barrier for Android phones.
