Since you can't write to SD now anyways...it doesn't matter to me. Anyone else ready to ditch Samsung? Good chance the boot loader on a new Motorola won't be totally locked down like our N4 is. It's a super Moto X basically.
I would miss the removable battery and S pen too much. Also I'm not crazy about the screen size of the turbo

I am looking to pickup either the Note 4 for Turbo for the wife. She doesn't need/want the S-Pen. She wants a phone that's fast, easy to use and provides great pics even in low lights. She doesn't know what she wants and is not a tech person at all lol. Which phone do you think will have the better camera?

I'll wait for reviews to make a final judgement, but there is a very low chance the turbos camera is better then the note 4. None of the moto devices are known for their camera. Even the new moto x is weak still in that department.

The bootlader on the droid turbo will be locked down tighter than fort Knox. So don't expect to be rooting or flashing Roms on it. I do like the form factor and the materials they use. I also like the specs they included. For me the only gripes I have is the camera, I heard it was OK.

Why would they lock the boatloader down? Unlike Samsung, they aren't pitching phones to corporate America. Motorola's been fairly open recently with the Moto X too. Their forum already has a system dump waiting for Devs...

Trust me, I'm coming from a original Moto X and ive had my fair share of droid brand devices. The bootloader is not unlocking any time soon. Maybe someone will find a root exploit but that's about it.

The only reason I could think of is to help promote the N6 as being the only unlocked and truly customizable stock phone on VZW. VZW could make them have it locked from factory as well. We will see on Thursday when it is released.
Picked this up from a recent link about the announcement of the turbo.

Exactly. The turbo is very enticing. If root doesn't happen in the next couple of days for the note 4. Then I will definitely get the turbo using my exchange period from Verizon.

I suppose... I usually was OK getting home on 10%. I work outside and to truly not have to worry about batteries at all would be sweet. This phone does well but it negates the screen when I have to crank the brightness down to nothing to make it to 10% at the end of the day
The Note 4 is a great device, and the battery is pretty good. But I find myself having to adjust frequently to save battery life were I can. With the turbo I don't think that would be the case. Plus it charges incredibly fast.

My reason? I have finally stopped trying to find the perfect Android phone! I have had so many over the years and was constantly looking for the perfect one. Got a GSM Galaxy Nexus last month and fell in love...until I fell out of love with ICS. Seriously if the Nexus came with Gingerbread, it would be just another phone. The camera sucks, etc.
The Note literally has everything I want in a phone. I'm finding myself sitting here enjoying it without searching incessantly for a better phone. Feels kinda strange, actually.
My wallet thanks me and I'm a happy camper. Best phone ever.

I really need to stop reading about new android devices. Makes me want to catch em all. But no worries, I love my note.. for now.
I had a try with the galaxy nexus here in the shops....i must say i was very dissapointed with it....the screen is not as vibrant plus ics is also not as good of an os as i was expecting....but maybe thats because i only played with it for about fifteen minutes..
I can honestly say, I wont be buying another device until Galaxy Note 3.
WOW! Those are some specs!
A phone with those specs will be hard to ignore! GNote is doing great for now! It really does do so many things well!
For now the Note is the best.
It has got its problems here and there.
I had problem when I transferred to many apps to Ext SD
and the phone keeps on rebooting. Can't seem to handle
the extra apps in Ext SD, don't why.
Still it is a great phone & mini Tab.
Best combination ever= GNote and Jailbroken iPhone 4.
The SIM is in my note for now, but some times I just needed that smaller form factor. Pop the SIM out of the adapter and back into my iPhone, head on out!

Do you have a cite for this? I have never heard about it.
I tried 3D on the Evo at a store and I was quite impressed with both viewing and the camera. I expect the technology will only get better and I would be pleased if the GS3 has 3D. However I am not sure whether I would want to go back to the smaller size and lose the S-pen.
A Galaxy Note 2 with 3D, NFC and quad-core would be utterly amazing though.

Are you sure that's true? Haven't seen the news on any of the popular tech sites, the phone has a single camera but is supposed to shoot 3D?
Sorry to hear of your troubles ericshmerick.
I cannot understand why your unhappy with the camera, possibly a problem with the camera or phone itself?
As for myself I'm extremely pleased with the camera, video camera and it's results, BEST i've seen in a mobile...
Here are some samples I've taken myself with the Note, you can judge the photos yourself.
Unfortunately I've not had a chance to use the camera during the day just yet, will try and take some proper day time shots soon!

Give me Windows on Note
I completely agree with you.
The Note has the best HW I ever has seen, except the placement of the on/off switch, which, however, is a minor disadvantage. But Android is terrible, synchronisation with Outlook is terrible, lot of apps are terrible and very badly designed or not intuitive to use. I like it as an eBook reader. The rest is a crap more or less, unusable for business.
I wished this device having Windows!!!
I couldn't resist the lure of the Nexus 5. I bought the red one and a clear bumper case, and I'm ready to rock and roll. The moto g has been great for the short time I've used it, but I always really wanted the nexus 5. I'm going to be selling the G on swappa or craigslist as soon as my N5 is delivered. Take care and have fun guys, off to the Nexus 5 section of xda.

To me, the Nexus 5 is a very nice phone. I ended up with the Moto G and I'm happy with it. The cost difference is what made the final decision for me but the N5 ended up 2nd on my list of all the phones I considered. I know you'll enjoy it.

I was in the same boat. Ultimately, the cost/benefit analysis of the MotoG vs. N5 swayed in favor of the MotoG. The better battery life and physical size/form factor combined with price outweighed what I'd be giving up by not choosing the N5 -- LTE, bigger screen (which is a negative for me), and NFC.

To each their own. That's why they make a million kind of phones. Sometimes you are just drawn towards something and can't resist. The N5 was that for me.

Oh, I completely understand. I LOVE the Nexus 5. It would be, no question, my phone after the MotoG. It just boiled down to the fact that I have smaller hands, and I'm rarely away from WiFi for very long so the lack of LTE isn't a big issue especially since T-Mobile's HSPA+ speeds are more than adequate for me. But..yeah...nothing against the N5 -- it's an amazing device! Enjoy your new baby!

I got em both and for some reason I find the moto g way more convenient to use, especially the battery life is almost double of the N5.

Yeah I need to figure out timing and priorities here. The maxx still meets most of my needs.
If DNG support comes in lollipop(and this phone) then it may become very hard to justify an upgrade right now. I am 99% sure that the raws these cameras can produce will allow us to take very very good photos. I was checking the specs on this camera and it does actually support binning a raw image file.
The camera is really my only complaint and if I am being honest, the camera is currently quite good.

Its roughy the same size as the phone this forum is centered around which I can handle without trouble and actually consider to be ideal, some people seem to really hate capacitive buttons. I have a nexus with on screen buttons and I prefer having them off screen. To each their own I suppose.
I think that its targeted at a different type of user than the X.
Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk
Same here, the only negative about having capacitive button is that they can't be customized/ themed. But I'll take the extra screen real estate over that any day. The Turbo is a beast of a phone and I would love to have one. But I think I'll wait for the next generation phones running on 64-bit.

Well I love the idea of the Turbo but it MAY have same issue as the Droid 4 with ear speaker then gonna pass on it. Can't stand the idea if gaining root or even unlocked bootloader then lose it cause phone gets sent in for repairs and get an updated unrootable phone back. Happened with our Droid 4s twice luckily they came with bad ear speakers and the next 2 were old stock that we got root on.
But that's me not every one else.
Stopped by Verizon after getting a haircut. My XT1080M had significantly better 1X service (by over 5dbm) and slightly better LTE service.
With that said, the build quality of the turbo seems much better than the MAXX which is known for being a little creaky.

It really is a great phone and I enjoy using it, but the more I use it the more I realize that there is nothing wrong with my maxx I'm having trouble justifying the upgrade.

G5 hangout:highfive:
Can't wait for G5 announment!!!!!
Rumor that power/volume might be moved to side of device is sad. I love the back buttons!
I'm hoping it has the modular design and removable batter. Even a removable battery would be enough to make me switch from Samsung.

I agree with this. I think it's one of the reasons I like LG devices so much:good:

Yup, LG is one of the last to still have a removable batt. It's great to have the option to change out the battery of my G3 and G4 on the fly:good:
things are getting closer enough on the geeks and making me nervous much more to travel all the way to korea !
awaited for more leaks

i really like the back buttons but in my opinion i think that with the dual camera it would be ugly to leave volume buttons on the back
Nothing less than a fully unlockable Bootloader will make me even consider switching.
First, thanks to Tony for kicking off the thread. Second, I'm looking forward to the SD 820, micro SD card, removable battery, buttons on the back, hell just everything! I'm super stoked about this phone. Buh bye Nexus 6!

Well like it's predecessors, there will most likely be a few variants that will unlocked or unlock able:good:

Except it doesn't run stock Android, can't be used on multiple carriers the same as the N6 can, doesn't get fast updates, will have much less dev support, isn't guaranteed to get root or unlocked bootloader, etc.

But it should have a better camera, a much better screen, modular support (Removable battery/SD Card slot), higher screen density, better CPU/GPU, more RAM, better audio quality..... But hey, latest software makes a phone right, sigh.

Did I say otherwise? My comment was to the comment that the G5 is "everything the Nexus 6 should have been" the other poster claimed.

The way I interpreted it was that the G5 will still pale in comparison to pretty much any Nexus device because it doesn't run stock software or isn't easily unlockable.
If that wasn't your intention then I do apologize, but I do feel strongly that at this point even phones without Nexus like interfaces will still run better than Nexus devices because of the hardware choices that Google gives manufacturers for those specific devices (Although Google is starting to push the limit a bit with the latest Nexus releases).

^^ This:good:
I went from a LG G4 to the N6, three weeks later I went back to the G4. When the N6P came out, I purchased it hoping for the best. I tried... I just couldn't like it. I gave it to my son and then purchased the G4 with unlocked BL.
@geoff5093 I do understand and appreciate your point of view (thank god we all have one:good I have found that the one dinamic I truly love about the G4 is the feel in the hand. While this may not be a biggie to developers, or the crowd that wants root, I truly like when I can hold a phone and it just feels right

Haha, I went from the G4 to the 6P and loved everything about the 6P more except the camera.

I can confirm that the volume button is on the side of the phone. The fingerprint reader is going to serve as the power button, and that will be on the back.

My sister's Moto G takes way too long to charge with it's original charger. Way over 5 hours even though the device is supposed to be a fastcharge one. If she uses a standard charger from her old phone, it takes about 2.5 hours which, I think is normal considering those chargers don't support fast charge.
Yeah I'm using a Samsung fast charger which is charging from 10% to full in 50mins

It feels too slow for me too. How do you know something is a good charger for this phone? You should look at voltages right?
Does this phone support wireless charging?

I haven't received mine yet but I'm pretty sure it doesn't.

Built-in, no. You'll most likely be able to use a 3rd party microUSB-to-Qi wireless charger receivers that can be found on Amazon for ~$12. Since the G4 lineup has a removable back plate, you might even be able to stick it inside the phone (if it doesn't fit, can just use a case).
Thanks for the responses, much appreciated
I'm excited about mine. I ordered one for my GF and I. I have the Note 5 but they are so slow with updates and I live down here in Colombia so walking around with the Note 5 isn't always the smartest. Plus all I use my phone for is work email, hangouts, whatsapp and skype. I will be getting mine next week and if for some reason I don't like it I can easily sell it down here. I think they run about $250-300 here in Colombia
Should've done some reseach, motorola is also quite slow with updates from what I've heard.

Meaning? Model or phone. In my experience Motorola is as good as most on updates, certainly better than some companies like Samsung.

My brother's moto g (2nd gen I believe) took a couple of month before getting his marshmellow update he was promised.

I've had motos before and they always released before Samsung. Half the time I have to flash third party to get the update before Samsung does the official release. Plus I don't need a $500 phone anymore. I can buy 4 of these Moto g from Amazon for the price I got the note 5 for.

My note 5 was about 4-5 behind in get MM. Looks like most Moto phones got the release in Feb which is only 2 months behind the actual release date

I've previously had Samsung, LG, Moto and Huawei and the Moto's were the best on updating. Samsung was probably the worst but that was probably because they don't push out updates directly and instead let the providers do it. LG and Huawei, seem to make every phone end of life as soon as they release it.
spotify issues?
i'm about to pull the trigger on this but have had issues on my current phone using spotify and an sd card.
can someone confirm that there are no issues saving offline music to an sd card?
Does anybody have "burn-in" problems on the screen? I know it's LCD but the icons on the notification bar burn-in extremely fast. The problem goes away 100% overnight, but what bothers me is how ridiculously fast the burn in occurs. Could my screen be defective?

Terrible gaming performance (Pokemon Go, Hearthstone)
I am experiencing terrible frame rates in the only two games I play on my device, Hearthstone and Pokemon Go. Review videos showed the phone playing 3D games with ease, yet I seem to be having trouble . Is anyone else having issues? I can barely navigate the menus of Pokemon the framerate is so bad.

I've only had mine a couple of days, but I haven't seen that so far.
One question. Does G4 have any restriction in Wifi tethering? The reason I asked is I got burned last time I got a Nexus 6P from Google and it does not allow Wifi tethering unless carrier's plan allows it.
Thanks,
Lyre
