How would you expect to accomplish that with a sealed phone? Maybe a piug-in to the USB?

The same way every other battery case for every other phone works... Just like you said. It's a case that adds a touch of bulk and plugs into the USB port.

Cool! I didn't know they made those. The only ones I have ever seen were for phones with replaceable batteries and came with replacement back covers.

That's all I've ever seen too. I think one that uses the charging port would be too awkward since it's on the side - one of the huge selling points of this phone is it's edge-to-edge screen/super slim bezel. Another is just how slim it is overall.. so I doubt there's much of a market for something that will bulk up the phone that much, and thus not much of a chance that something like that will be produced anytime soon. Especially since it's already touted as having a fairly long battery life.
If anyone has made this specific switch, I'd be grateful to hear your opinions!
Also, should I wait until March and see what comes out and then make the switch? (my next upgrade would be December 2014) or just switch now? Keep in mind I'd have this till next December!
HTC flagship 2013 vs Motorola flagship 2013.
They're in the same league. It's not really of an upgrade.
What makes Moto X different than any other flagship phones is the Active Display and Touchless Controls.
Those features makes it stand out from the rest of the phablets.
If you MUST have Active Display and Touchless controls, then sell One and get Moto X.

Literally just made the switch and I'm loving it. I'm on Verizon so this is the closest I can get to a pure Google device.

Biggest intial pros and cons?
I just did that switch on Verizon. I like the size and feel of the x better and of course all the touchless and active display stuff is great. Only thing I like about the one is the boom sound and aluminum chassis.
Physically, this x feels similar to my old gnex, which is a good thing.
Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk
I made the switch from the One to the Moto X (kinda got a weird call from HTC asking me why I switched) and I wouldn't look back. Actually used my one for a few days last week and I went right back to the Moto X

pros of htc one:

audio quality
pros of moto x:

Do it. My HTC One will be on Swappa in a few hours.
I did this. Got rid of my One thinking that I'd move to T mobile from Verizon, but I love being on the Moto X.

HTC One may have a better processor per say, but the Moto X hands down is much smoother and faster then HTC One. Speaker sound is equivalent on both. Battery life seemed a little better on the One, that would be my only gripe.

Same here.
Cons are the speakers. You just can't beat the One's audio quality.
Haven't noticed any speed differences. If I do a benchmark test, it's obvious, but moving around the UI and opening apps is the same.
The camera is so-so. In KitKat, you can move around the focus reticle which is pretty sweet as you aren't tapping around trying to get the right lighting. I'm leaning towards the One as having the better camera, but it's a slight lean.
I've always preferred stock android and the Moto X is the closest I'll get to it on Verizon.
Also, of important note, the Moto X supports Band 4 (AWS). I live in NY and in the city (Manhattan), Verizon's LTE is pretty awful. Once Band 4 is activated, this will definitely help. The One does not supports AWS.
How does the screen compare? Does the AMOLED help battery life paired with the lower resolution?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I sold my T-Mobile HTC one on swappa for $365 and bought the republic wireless moto x for $299.
I love the amoled and active display very much. Sound is still comparable. Tho I wish more phones would have front facing speakers!
Camera is worse but who honestly takes professional quality pics on a phone cam anyway.
I only really want data when im at work or home and have WiFi there anyway. So the $10 cell/text plan will save me oodles!

Better processor != Smoother experience.
And they both have the same GPU.
I have and love the Moto X, but honestly switching from the HTC One would be quite the downgrade. If you love AOSP then you can flash GPe, cant you? I would've gotten an HTC One in a heartbeat if the cyber monday deal had been for it instead of Moto X.

How were they un-wise? By testing it on different parts of the OS before doing it full blown throughout.
While they are at it maybe they will fix Bluetooth conflicts w/ Google search.
This will be great. Still other devices have to unlock their phones to use it except us on the moto x.

Yes, but was our hardware ready? I don't think our socs were efficient enough to be able to go through day without draining battery with ability to listen to voice 24x7. Snapdragon 80x is first range to have that built in. Moto X had to use sperate low powered chip for it.

These low power chips could have been incorporated into the architecture years ago, as well.
This is besides the point let's get back to the point at hand. Glad Google is doing this

If they could, they would. Semiconductor industry does not wait if it could manufacture something new with good yields and sell it. If it can be done, it will be done and put into production as soon as possible.
Otherwise we would have snapdragon 805 or exynos 6 powered phones already. But chips were not ready.
That is not how things work. If someone sits on something, someone else will come out with that stuff.
It is the main restriction for lot of things in this industry as well as tech industry. One thing to have a concept, completely other thing to have hardware ready for mass production to implement that concept.
2 years so we simply did not have consumer grade hardware for this.
Google now itself is not even 2 years old yet.

You are saying it wrong... It doesn't "keep the 720p screen"... It keeps the 320 dpi... Our eyes can't see the difference in the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 screen, because we can only see a 320 dpi image from 20 cm... Unless you use cardboard, you will NEVER notice the difference.

I prefer the rear or bottom speaker placement. It looks like a Moto E successor instead of Moto G. Some Brazilian news sites are saying it could be Moto M.

No it isn't. Notice the front facing camera at the top right? That, and the front panel is far too lengthy to be a Moto E.
I wonder if it will be even cheaper and if yes, and they will but better cpu and gpu there, what will be the cut? without gorilla glass? maybe using TN display this time? weaker battery? the price cut must have to come from somewhere

1. I doubt the screen will be touched, making the next G with a worse screen is waaaaay to Windows (that Lumia 530)... It will just make everything look bad, and Motorola focused on user experience with the Moto series.
2. The battery can't be modified if they put another CPU, the Cortex A7 is the only decent architecture for this battery size, new cpu + smaller batter = 0 battery life.
I doubt it will have any other changes appart from a new camera (this is really a painting canvas) and the front facing speaker.
The good part is, if they keep the same chipset and they release it with Android L, it means we are surely getting M, maybe even N (or if not officially, it will be easy to port, like novafusion team does with the S3 mini, xperia U, galaxy s advance and ace 2, which have the same chipset and use almost identical cyanogenmod builds)

You two might be right. They USED to only work on Samsung devices. I just did a little research and found the "device compatibility" list on Samsung's site, and there were tons of other devices listed other than Samsung ones.

Which is why I agreed with you and just elaborated on my findings.
edit: and admitted I was wrong.
As for OP, the Samsung list of compatible devices says "Subject to change," so after the V20 comes out in the US, they may add it to the list. HOWEVER, the list is most likely out of date now, because only the G Flex, OPTIMUS G, G2, G3, G4, G Vista, and Nexus 5 are listed. No G Vista 2, G5, or even V10. Unless they just aren't compatible or something.
I don't really know now, so I have to step back and hope you get an answer from someone else. I mean... up until tonight, I thought the Gears could still only work with Samsung devices only. I thought that was the answer, but obviously not. LOL
yeah this sucks. i really like it more than my moto 360 with android wear..it just does things much better, especially replies, and now that android wear 2.0 won't even be out until next year, it's getting kinda ridiculous and annoying.
we'll see what happens i guess. ugh!

back to the topic, I love my S2 Classic, and will probably buy a S3 on launch. However I have only paired it with a Samsung. I am interested in seeing how it works with a non-Samsung Android phone. I previously had Pebble, LG's watc, Moto 360, Pebble Time, Samsung Gear 2, and Gear 2 Neo.
The S2 Classic is by far the best. I currently have it with a Samsung S7 Edge. My S7 Edge still works fine, but I find myself wanting a LG V20.
