Which MOTO X feature is the most attractive to you?

Now we know that we cannot put our names on the back of the phone; nor can we upload the images we want and have it color our MOTO X (though the latter part was never the original concept...but should be . What makes you still want to buy MOTO X?
I just got mine this afternoon. After playing with it only for a couple of hours, I can say that once I get used to the touchless control, I will not be able to live without it. Just now I pick up my Nexus 4 and start talking to her with "Ok google now" and saw no response and getting frustrated

Active Notifications.
That is all.

everything about this phone other than its price and camera quality (which hopefully is resolved with an update much like the htc one)

Touchless Controls hands down.

I went to the store to play with the X and I was really impressed by the twisting the wrist motion to launch the camera. It was super easy and I have no idea why the reviewers found it so hard to launch it. I'd say I had a 100% success rate.

The problem, for me at least, is not how to launch the camera...but after launching the camera the quality of the photo is not good.

Personally I the touchless control is the winner for me, but active notifications comes in a very close second.

All are pretty ones!
Can we see it in Europe soon...

1 active notifications, 2 Motorola Connect, 3 touches, 4 fast camera launch, 5 battery

This clip looks interesting MOTO X being tested, in a way, in real life setting.

Everything.

other than all tech details, I really like the idea of customizing the phone and making it truely unique

After actually using the phone, active notifications and the battery are great for usage. The motomaker is great when it comes to selling the phone.

That's too bad at the end it was a DO NOT BUY. I feel that the camera should be an easy fix because it would just be an OTA update.

Something about that lady makes me want to punch her in the face. But I don't hit women so I'm not going to act on it.

Another vote for touchless control.

That was pretty f***in pathetic. I can't believe I was able to watch the whole thing. I have always thought she was clueless and that video just reaffirmed it for me.

Oh Cnet....you try too hard.

The Design. Always liked android but hated these oversized form factors with no regard for one handed usability. Big screen without big phone, finally a decent design!

[Q] Active Display issue

Anyone else have a problem with their active display "breathing"?

Not me. Neither before or after the kit Kat update

Well I'm not sure if it's an actual issue or normal but from my understanding the phone is supposed to breather when left idle right? By that I mean flash the time

I think it only does that for some notifications. otherwise it will only flash the time when you pick it up or move it.

Agreed

Oh ok jus making sure thought it was supposed to do that regardless of notifications or not

By "breathing" do you mean the screen fading in and out constantly when there are notifications pending?
Posted about it here to see if it was normal or not, because I don't remember it from the first two days I had the phone, but noticed it this morning.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48208908&postcount=6

Yep that what the breathing is exactly. It supposed to reduce the need to unlock the phone to check for social media/email updates.

If you want to know more about it...look up Ubuntu Touch. It actually runs much like Ubuntu, only this booted in like 15 seconds first boot haha

Nice i was wondering when you were gonna get your feet wet

That looks beautiful. I tried a while back before they flipped the image and couldn't get it to boot.

Omg I miss your work! I haven't seen you since the photon days. I wish you would get a G2 so we can benefit from your wonderful work

Well, I been playing around with MIUI trying to help DH and decided to mess around with this since it looked interesting. Gonna take a lot of work at this point, but at least we have boot

This is legit.

When I went out to get device back in Nov, I was between this and the G2. I chose this after the Optimus G's inherent fun....not to mention that device was released 3 months before this one, yet is still on 4.1.2. This device is being updated at rocket ship speed, which is a HUGE change from what we all experienced on the Photon...LOL

Well, it may be some time. I have it booting, touch works well, navigation is great. Looks like a great DD...once all working. However, as with all new forays, there are some bugs...some easier than others to squash.
1) Camera preview works, seems to take a picture, but hell if I can figure out where it went...LOL
2) Networking is NG
3) Cellular is NG
4) Audio is NG (this could be a big one, as if you look at the way it needs to be configured, it requires writing of a UCM mixer config for the deviec...LOL
But, I'm going to keep working

Yea the photon turned into a joke sadly. But the good thing about the Optimus G and G2.. They may be behind on updates but both are updated by great devs with the latest version as quick as any other device with all features working nearly 100%. The G2 already has 4.4 internationally and it also helps that the N5 is pretty much the same hardware kind of like the atrix and photon.

Well, before I could do any sort of collaboration, I have to get the source I've got building upped. It's really screwey how they have this thing set up....took 3 different tries to get the right files to actually repo sync. Their instructions seem quite incomplete in some areas, and are totally GONE in others (like the links to getting VoiceCall and HiFi audio working...links are page not found).
Once I get it synced remotely, I'll be more than happy to have some others pitch in. I have a feeling it's going to take a few of us to do it any way.
But for now...if anyone knows how to write UCM mixer files for alsa, I'd love to have some pointers. Their explanation is nearly NIL...LOL

Seeing this put a really big smile on my face

@Th3Bill
Sounds good looking forward to this rom good work.

For now, I'm going to keep it here until I get it working a bit more...once I get it fixed a little more and sync my source, I'll be moving to Development....just wanted to put it up that there's something new cooking

GEL keeping phone awake

I am wondering if anyone else is having this problem with GEL (v. 0.10...) on Moto x (Sprint). I am on stock 4.4. I installed GEL and then i started noticing faster battery drain so I went to battery stats/history details and noticed that phone is awake all the time. I uninstalled GEL and phone now sleeps normally. Maybe GEL is not optimized for moto x??? Any ides?

I played around with GEL and Its not the launcher it self that's causing awake but the Google now that's on the home screen. I turned off Google now and it seems the phone sleeps now. The sucky part is that you turn off Google now completely not just the far left Google now screen. I wish there was a way to turn off just the far left screen and not the whole Google now. Oh well life goes on lol.

No reboot?

I just switched from the xperia to the Turbo the other day. I noticed that in the power menu there is no restart or reboot. Is this correct? I have to power down completely and then power back on?

Nothing from the Maxx is helpful to us right now. Sony coded in the reboot function as part of their own customization. If/when we get root, there are apps on the market that also let you reboot.
Will we get root? Maybe...quite a few flagship devices are becoming more and more unrootable.
Maxx already has it.

I'm not convinced that they will ever officially release it.
Keep in mind you can get a Nexus on an installment plan from Motorola and pop in your sim. It will work fine on Verizon, sans advanced calling.

Hmmmmmmm. Didn't know that. Have to look into it.
Another quick question, when I had my s3, I was running lollipop with art..... how many are running art on this? Is it better on here?
If you enable developer options, you can switch without the need for root. Don't know if anyone has caught that yet.

Art doesn't work right on the Turbo in KitKat. It optimizes apps every reboot.

OK it does reboot, but its not a proper reboot. Your forcing the phone to shutdown, then start back up. Also, I don't think the bootup took as long.

Powering the phone off and then continuing to hold the power button until it turns back on is not a reboot.
If you shut down your computer and then press the power to turn it back on, did you reboot it? Of course not. Your powered it off then turned it back on.
If you want to see what a real reboot looks like, hook your phone to your computer and use ADB to reboot it.

Actually it reboots on its own. As soon as it forced powered off I let off of the power button. It then rebooted. But still, not a true reboot like you said.
