A couple thing's I've noticed, when doing some serious gaming, the unit gets VERY hot. We've seen this before with Teg 3 tablets COUGH*acer*COUGH, but my concern is putting a case on this thing... I'm worried that retaining all that heat might cook the thing's insides.
This will probably resolve itself, but last night I went to bed at ~80% battery, watched a movie, and when it was done, the screen turned off as normal... and when I woke up, the battery was down to 25%. My Razr Maxx had similar issues when new and apparently had to do with the OS calibrating it's battery meter.
What is everyone else seeing on theirs?
Use CPUspy to see if it was deep sleeping? BetterBatterystats to check wakelocks? Mine seems to be sleeping fine, haven't seen mine do anything weird yet
I'm not a serious gamer but I did put my N7 through about an hour of some pretty intensive gaming and it got a little warm like any device but it was never HOT to the touch. Battery life on day 1 was a bit weak but thats because I was too excited and did not give the N7 time to fully charge before playing with it.
Yesterday it was fully charged at around 2pm when I unplugged it.
Went to the library for a little over an hour and mooched their WiFi then went to my friends house.. from 4pm till midnight we were abusing my N7 pretty much constantly... showing off GNow, Maps compass mode, sports scores etc and when I got home around 1am I still had 47%.
Granted, I didn't game at all yesterday or watch much video.. but it was still being used fairly constantly.
Therr are apps that cause your device to wake. I discovered "hangaroo" does this on my wife's evo3d.
Some market apps are that annoying, just uninstall that certain app and the device shouldn't wake up randomly
on xda for android and mistyping like a boss
The only thing on my N7 that wasn't on my other Android devices was Dark Meadow: The Pact... I'm thinking, like mentioned, it's a new device issue that'll resolve itself as far as battery life. The 2nd and 3rd day with my Razr Maxx, I awoke to a dead battery, now it's rocking 2-3 days between charges.
And the heat, well, that was mostly during that Dark Meadows game and that's completely optimized for a Teg 3, so it's abusing all 4 cores plus the GPU portion of the chip. Still, not sure I'd want all that contained in some insulating case.
My Nexus 7 doesn't get hot like you described. My only issue is that the left part of my screen isn't stuck down completely. It pops up while people on reddit are saying is common. Anyone else with this issue here?

Played about two hours of GTA 3 yesterday, it did get 'warm' but not hot.
I think it really depends on how lucky/unlucky you are with the Nexus 7 unit you received. Some people are reporting a dead unit after using it for about 3 hours. Others are reporting dead pixels. And, you're reporting this...
I guess I was lucky enough to not have any of those issues with my Nexus 7.
After about five minutes of initial use I found that my nexus 7 was getting very hot near the dock connector. Nothing really pressing, downloaded a few apps, light browsing.
Is anyone else having this issue?
Have not noticed anythig geting hot on mine
I brought a nexus 7 from goole play and benber seen any sunch problems.
I also have this problem. It's not exactly "hot" but it's definitely warmer than the rest of the tablet.

Exactly, Im facing the 'warm' issue as well. I guess that 1 is normal right?
I could not find any similar thread so I created a new one.
I got the Moto G (2014) on amazon, it's the US GSM version. The phone was fantastic, nothing I can complain. But it got so warm shortly after surfing webs and taking a few pictures. I feel like the hot part was around the camera, not at the bottom of the phone. Anyone ever faced this issue?
Thanks.
I got this problem too, with simple tasks and smooth games the phone heats up only at the top... Hope Android Lollipop fixes it

If it's due to the software problem, I'm happy. I was afraid the hardware caused it, or the device was defective.
If you had a nexus 4 you will see the heating, this is nothing compared to that one, I only feel heating when use the camera, in the nexus s I had the same problem the smartphone heated to the 50/60ºC if I use more than 2,3 min...
Don't be scared about that, if the smartphone get to ho, will turn off to prevent hardware problems...

USB port broken? stock ROM isnt really capable anymore to handle normal usage smoothly. (in my experience, it lagged heavily after 1-2 days, only reboot helped) I suggest to use a custom ROM.

Hi all, I'm considering buying a Moto x for my phone, which I will be keeping for two years. I however have several questions regarding the Moto X.
Is the battery really as bad as the press makes you believe? Gsmarena has a pretty bad 48h rating for the X, while 60-70 is the average. For me, on weekdays, the phone is connected to WiFi all day and is used for light browsing and some gaming, about 3h of SOT, while on weekends, my phone is on HSPA+ or LTE, and about 4h of SOT. Will the X survive a while day for me, based on estimates?
I'd also like to ask about how well the phone software has aged - is it lagging or any major problems popped up? Anyway, that's all I wanted to know as the phone looks like an attractive optio!
Bought this phone in December as an upgrade from my Galaxy s3 (i9300) after using it for almost 2.5 years.
Had the same intention in mind of keeping it for at least 2 years.
Wrt the battery, I generally get 3.5-4 hours SOT on Wi-Fi with location services on and 3-3.5 hours on LTE. I haven't rooted the phone and don't plan to any time soon. The software is snappy and I've not noticed any lag at all.
Also, I'm not a very heavy user of the camera but whenever I need it, the X doesn't disappoint me.

Thanks for the reply, main question for me now is if 16GB is enough or not... S4's barely holding up with a 16GB MSN and 9GB of internal storage.
I got the x right after it came out I will say its just as snappy as it was when it came out but the battery life on lollipop varies some people have seen 4-5 SOT others like me see 2:30- 3 SOT google play services can sometimes take so much I only get 2 hours SOT or less , but its a great option and I would just get the 32gb If I were you....you'll love having pure android, fast updates, and a beautifully crafted phone ...PS: the 2015 x comes out in September if you can wait for it to see if its better others wise the moto x 2014 is a solid device

Using 16 GB. For my usage needs it's sufficient. You really need to decide this as per your usage. My s3 had 32 (16 internal +16 SD card ). I used most of my external card only because I used to flash a lot of roms and needed space to save nandroid back ups and titanium backups as well. I don't plan to root this phone hence 16 gigs seems sufficient. Also I use the Google photos app to backup my photos to the cloud so my images also don't really clog up space.

the battery is as good as any other phone i've ever used. i currently use my moto x and an iphone 5c. i have high usage on both phones and have no problem making it 8-9 hours with 30% left.

Ah, I would but they don't have the 32GB model here in my country. Such a shame too, because if I lived in the US I would use Moto Maker as well.

You can use a Meenova Dash as a file transfer device if you are uncomfortable having it plugged into your USB port all the time.
With the announcement of both the Nexus 5x and the 6p is anyone jumping ship from the Droid Turbo in order for a much easier root/flashing process? The 5x is close in specs but a little underperformed and the 6p is just big.

I really wish I could, but at this point i'm so used to moto display and the big battery, don't think id have an easy time with the tiny battery in the 5x
Too spoiled with vanilla android and Moto features WITH a gigantic 3900 mAh battery. Hard to top

I agree with the battery. Even the Moto Droid Turbo 2 is rumored to have a smaller battery at 3760mAh
sad...
So the first tests via phonearena for the Nexus 5x is out and clocks in at 6hrs 25min. The "same" test performed by them on the Droid Turbo in 2014 was over 10 hours. Amazing the difference. Even with "doze" to help the Nexus, Droid turbos will eventually get the update.

Making the jump to a 5X. Tired of waiting 9-12 months for Motorola to update plus ability to now leave Verizon at will. Was an original Maxx user prior to Turbo so definitely nervous about battery, but sounds like 10 minutes to 25% charge may make it easy to top of mid day. ..

Once you receive your phone and had some time to play with it, do you mind letting me know what you think of it? Overall, I like the phone a lot, but it is weird to see the display/battery/other differences.

Will do. Should have it in hand tomorrow so will post back after I've had a few days for it to settle in / play with it.

So 48 hours in, I'm happy with it so far.
Battery: Yesterday under typical usage for me (unplugged ~ 7:30, 1/2 hour morning podcast over bluetooth, couple of calls, 1/2 hour screen on time) at 2:00 I still had about 77% of battery and projected usage time of another 15 hours. That is pretty much identical to where my Turbo usually set at midafternoon. Now obviously it's due to Doze keeping the consumption down when I wasn't using it and if/when 6.0 comes to the Droid it will become a 2-3 day beast of a phone. I've been following others on the Nexus 5X forums and they are getting 4-5 hours screen on time, so if you are a heavy phone on user the Turbo will win hands down. Today for example, where I've had more screen on time (less background email) I'm 11 hours in w/ 1-1/2 hours SOT and sitting at 31% w/ 5 hrs left. My Turbo on a similar weekend day would probably be sitting around 50-70%. Similar to the Turbo, for a quick top off charge 10 minutes is supposed to get you 25% battery so it would be easy for a quick top off on heavier days (did recharge 90% battery in less than an hour the first day)
Speed: I just ran a side by side comparison of the two phones with about the same apps installed and both from a fresh boot. The Turbo is only slightly faster for non-google apps, and the 5X is faster for google apps (guessing optimization for 6.0 is making that difference) but for the most part the speed difference is just barely noticeable (lot's of gnashing of teeth in the 5X forums about the processor and memory of the 5X) but saw the side by side online demo of the 5X and 6P and it's about the same types of differences in speed between the Turbo and 5X (I don't use my phone for games so can't make that check that they did in the video which showed a pretty dramatic difference). The slightly slower speed, is really not noticeable when I'm using the 5X which feels like no lag for me.
Call Quality: So far call quality on the 5X has been great, and on a couple of bluetooth car speaker calls no echo where as I do get occasional complaints of echo on my Turbo (I use Google Voice). I've never had any success with the Turbo Advanced Calling so usually use it straight up. One extra bonus for the 5X, since I can't get Advanced Calling to be stable on the Turbo, is that finally it has the extra antennas so I can do voice / data at the same time.
Size: The 5X is same height, a little narrower, definitely thinner and lighter than the Turbo. I purchased the Adopted case for the Nexus so have no complaints about the plastic of the 5X naked that have been circulating around.
Misc: Fingerprint unlock is awesome. Also, the 5X has Google Now voice recognition when the phone is off so I'm not losing anything there by ditching Moto Voice. Also with the Sensor Hub you get the adaptive display when you pick it up. Not quite as convenient as Moto's proximity activated display but I made the switch over to adaptive on the Droid a few weeks ahead of the 5X so don't really miss it that much. And when you do pick it up, if you want in just a quick tap on the fingerprint sensor and you are good to go vs. the swipe on the Turbo. And the most obvious advantage of the 5X is quick OS updates vs. the Moto delay....
So, 48 hours in I'm pretty sure I'm staying with the 5X. Going to give it another week before I relock my Turbo and give it to my son.
