If the Moto G had NFC why would Motorola hide it? It sounds like a way to increase sales unless they are trying to protect the Moto X's sales.

that's really weird... we could be looking through the sources and check if we could enable it or not.
how can we check if nfc is supported ?

Yes, that was my mistake. I wasn't checking ALL apps. Thanks
But how do you verify whether the app was there by mistake or there really is an unannounced chip present?

Unless we find a way to clearly see if the nfc chipset is present, there's not much we can do.
If it's there, we can always activate it with an xposed module or app.

this sounds promising. Any techies give us an update on dismantling their Moto Gs?

In android KitKat google made the "secure element" that google wallet required into software. So perhaps the tech support guys means the moto g is capable of using google wallet?
Sent from my XT1034 using Tapatalk

I noticed it was installed on android 4.3 but ignored it as I thought it was just a small mistake but it is strange that it's still here on the 4.4.2 update, maybe we might have NFC after all?

Verizon apps for Razr M on CM

I love my RAZR M on custom roms like AOKP, CM and others. I have an issue though. I like to use the My Verizon app to view my data usage and the Verizon tones app to change my Ringback. Does anyone know how to get these apps to work on a custom rom or what I would need? I reverted back to custom right now as I am waiting to figure this out before I go back to CM. Thanks.
I am also wondering where to get the Verizon Visual Voicemail app for my RAZR M.
Most of them should be in the play store. VVM might even be in there. If not, maybe look for the Nexus edition of VVM...

For the sign-in error, you need to download the authentication app (I forget the actual name...)

Can no longer “check in" on FB

I know this sounds silly but it's actually really bothering me, mostly because I can't figure out why it's not working.
When I had my phone stock unrooted I could check in on FB.
When I was stock rooted I could still check in on FB.
I debloated, installed xposed and wanam, added a modded launcher and now I can't check in.
What crazy is I have done almost all the same changes to my wife note 3 and she still can check in.
Only thing we have done different is the debloating.
Curious if anyone else has broke this after debloating?
Thanks

Probably one of the apps you froze. If you get it figured out let us know. But not logging into FB might be considered a feature by some.

Is this via the FB app or browser? If browser make sure you haven't disabled javascript. I temporarily turn off javascript when browsing XDA so it doesn't constantly refresh but it also breaks things.
In the android app

Check if there has been a update since you rooted that may have caused it. And try the normal, if you haven't already, reinstall and who's phone cache.

And WTF is this?

I know this is probably more related to the actual FB app but I feel like it's a complete violation of privacy and I don't particularly want this happening but can not seem to find a setting to turn it off.. Here is a scenario where this would be completely out of place and unacceptable..
You take a picture of something private .. You or a friend gets your phone and opens the Facebook app... Oh look the last 3 pics you took.... Really? WTF? Anyone know how to turn this off?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Check settings. Turn off facebook sync photos.
Just using Facebook is violation of privacy. Even if you find away to turn it off that feature; Facebook is always sucking up information from your device (contacts, location, call logs, pictures, and so on). This is one of the reason I don't use Facebook.

That's definitely true... Makes me sad. I think in this issue though the most disturbing thing is that it's accessing another app (gallery) and then putting the 3 most recent pics in the app (suggesting) you post them. Who's to say their appropriate to post. I don't like this at all.

Guys, just get another app for Facebook. There's tons of apps that don't these extra permissions and don't steal your data, AND THEY RUN BETTER than the stock Facebook app. Example : fast for facebook (search it!)
