Call quality hindered after 4.4 Update - Moto X Q&A

I'm on Sprint. After I got my 4.4 update the call quality dropped dramatically, to the point I can't even understand the other person, is this just me or are there others?

I saw someone in another forum here on xda had a stock room that was edited for better call quality.
I think this was it.

It may be Sprint related and just coincidental. If you call tech support I bet they tell you network vision, towers being updated etc...

Nexus 4-T-Mobile U.S.A Thread

The thread was not started for a Q And A.Because this is a world phone I thought T-Mobile customers can have a thread of their own.
Examples: pricing, deals,rebates, and yes even LTE info. All things T-Mobile.

I just got 70dollars unlimited unthrottled plan two days ago?

They dropped the price from $549+$50 rebate yesterday, which I bought yesterday, to $457.99 no rebate today. Went back to price match today and the said no manager on duty, try again tomorrow.

if you have root, add this to your build.prop file(/system/build.prop/) then reboot for it to take effect. see if it helps you.

I have a unlimited plan and I just tether.I was wondering if it comes with unlimited plans like the one that a person stated in a previous post or if I should expect a message from them.I always felt that root did the trick.

should you expect a message, probably, eventually, depending how much you tether. it took them a looooong time and lots of data before they stopped me. root has nothing to do with them stopping you from tethering, root just gives you "administrative" permission over your phone.

Is it me or does the speakers sound louder with beats off?

Maybe I'm going crazy, but when in not using headphones and watching YouTube or Pandora with beats settings off it sounds louder.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium
It does, but that what usually haspensehen you disable an eq... The balance and quality aren't as good but it is louder. When I'm at work I disable it because I don't need the bass... Just the volume
Yea. It's a bit louder but less quality like p3t said.
Boomsound is extremely over hyped. My girlfriends s3 is just as loud.

I said it was just as loud if not louder.
The one definitely sounds better, but you can get apps to make the s3 sound better too.
For a phone that advertised "boomsound" and speakers with their own amplifiers...the result is very "meh". I love the phone regardless..just over hyped sound.
Hell in the breakroom at work last week, we had the power go out. We all started watching YouTube and you couldn't hear my phone over some janky LG my buddy had.

No offense or anything but a little research and you would see that the radios are completely incompatible for starters sprint and Verizon or CDMA based where as at&t and the rest of the post paid carriers are gsm based.

Actually the s4 has capability to run off gsm networks just not in the states only outside due to sprints locked the phone down. The iphone 5 from sprint had to use a rsim to allow it to be used in the states

I got ripped off on Craigslist too! lol I bought a Galaxy Nexus that should've been able to be activated only to find out that I couldn't because she didn't pay her Sprint bill. She never got back to me, so I put up an ad with a free Samsung HD TV and put her number on it

This is why everyone should always meet at a carrier store or call the carrier to make sure activation can happen when purchasing a used device. Good lesson for others to learn from if not familiar with dealing on CL. Hopefully she is getting back a little of what she deserves for swindling.
I've seen worse. But yes some people scamming or just plain stupid. Irks me.
No one will ever learn...there are zillion threads with these stories and we still get morons still doin it. Sheeez

To most people they think that they will go get a straight talk sim and it will work. This idiot puts up a fancy add that will help sell the phone. The way I look at it is that if there is not a full guide or documentation on xda its not possible! The question is are you ready for that "earlie" upgrade? lol!!
Bhahahahahah ^^^^

Kit Kat Antutu Benchmark

How many of you have noticed a huge drop in your benchmark after the kit Kat update? I was scoring right above the Gnote 3 to barely passing the gnote 2.

I did notice a slight drop. I was scoring above the gnote 3 and now i am just under it since 4.4 update.

I just literally makes me wonder. I know not all devices are equal, but if I had known i would have taken this big of a performance hit I would have never upgraded. Other than the knock feature it just wasn't worth it. I could already take picture ect in 4k resolution on my device. Which seems kind of moot to me it only being a 720p display. I switched to art and yeah it was an even bigger hit. So i placed it back into dalvik.

You can easily flash back. Reroot etcetera, until they maybe get the custom recovery going and we can get some custom Roms. Also most developers will tell you that benchmark tests are really not that important.
