Just purchased my Droid Turbo Thread - Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General

I picked up my 64g droid turbo no problem.. It was about 6 people when I came in purchasing the phone. Smooth Transaction. I love the feel of the phone so far.

Nice! How does the nylon feel? Someone else said it sort of sticks to your hands like a microfiber cloth. I'm going to swing by a VZW store and see if they have the nylon out on the floor. Not buying yet, just want to see and feel it.

I'm in for a 64GB version. Ordered online since my local store is typically behind the times a bit and didn't appear to have stock. Should have it tomorrow!

It feel great..Perfect size for everything in the hand.. The nylon is better in my eyes then the other finish with the other models.My hands are little sweaty at times, so it feels a little slippery but the grip is there. I'm coming from a Note 4 and M8.. This is a definitely a boss in its own world. I wanted the flip cover but the store only had black. If I spend 60$, I need the leather one.

I was going to go today but the ballistic nylon case issue has me freaked out. Have you tried putting your phone in a case yet?

Ordered my 64GB baby, should have it tmrw.
I havent been this excited about a phone since my DNA.

My first droid ever. Hoping it gets Lollipop fast. Haven't even set it up yet but like build so far. Also NO VZW logos anywhere!!!

Got the nylon 32gb , feels really great. I don't want to put a case on it lol.
No Verizon logo on the phone is awesome. I'm having no problems with the brightness in direct sunlight as I type this. Haven't tried video. Speaker is pretty loud, but not as full sounding as my One Max. Haven't played with the back camera yet, but some Snapchat selfies that I took in low light came out better than expected. It's too new to be objective about it probably.

Anyone see anything about early upgrades for edge customers. Its says here but wanted to know any one has tried yet.

Just picked mine up this morning. Ballistic Nylon 32gb. The nylon actually feels nice in hand. The screen is very nice.

Any of you trade in an old phone, did they give you a hundred uses or gift card?

Just switched to ART, 10-15 minutes and 10% battery later, the phone is really hot. We'll see how it works. As a former Xposed junkie, I haven't used ART too much.

I cant believe it doesnt have verizon logos, it even shows it does on their site. Thats crazy but thank god.

I picked the nylon up as well, but the kevlar felt to have a better grip than nylon. Wish the nylon had a tad more grip to it, but feels great in hand otherwise. I have a iPhone 6 plus and Im a big dude with big hands and it feels great to easily one hand a device again. Hopefully development does come along for this beast.

I always said I dont mind the Verizon logos, BUT it makes a difference now that there arent any on the Nylon Turbo.

Just got a 64gb. I love how theres no Verizon crap on it. Now I'm back at work. Won't get to play with it for a lil while . oh and its much thinner than I expected.

How much usable storage is there on the 32 anyone

BTW I got the 64GB and they're running some promo where on EDGE they take $25 off the monthly cost if you get 10GB data. So I'm essentially paying $2 month for my 64GB turbo. Also no activation fee so walked out of the store without paying anything.

Has anyone tried the back camera yet? Got any pics to post?

Just picked up a 64GB version an hour ago. So far I love it! Switching over to ART at the moment as well, just waiting for it to finish optimizing my apps.
My biggest fears with nylon was that dirt could get trapped in it, and the fibers will start to fray. On the demo unit, I scratched the back and tried to pick at it with my finger nail, and no fibers at all came loose an it didn't phase the material at all. Loving the nylon so far.
I'll be trying many hotspot apps shortly as well.

Ordering Nexus 4 on Wednesday (feq questions)

Well I'll start off with saying how psyched I am about getting this phone regardless of what's coming out so far this year.
Believe it or not I've been using a badly cracked screen Xperia Play for 8 months and just haven't bothered with the mobile world since then.
I'm currently living in the UK and I have a few questions in regards to the Nexus 4 and general concerns.
How easy is it exactly to crack the screens front/back?
What case would you recommend for some one who is accident prone (nothing to bulky)?
How long did it take for UK customers to receive theirs after purchase? I'm getting the 16gb model and I went to checkout to check and they're telling me 1-2 business days?
Where can I get good wallpapers for it? I normally use Zedge but I had a nosey at their Nexus 4 walls and there isn't that many, I can just make my own or rescale other HD images but meh, I like looking for things I don't have.
In the UK do they need the micro sims? I ordered one anyway just incase.
Are there any apps that really stand out on the Nexus 4 for you?
Is it possible to root without boot loader unlocking it? Does it not come boot loader unlocked if ordered from the Google Play store?
Also is there any other cheaper method to have it display on A TV other than the slimport output http://www.amazon.co.uk/Slimport-HDMI-adapter-Connect-projector/dp/B009UZBLSG#lbhuc_854718

Hi. Mine came after 2 days (I ordered it at 11pm Saturday and it came in early Tuesday morning). I'm currently living in UK too. I had to order micro sim from O2.
Cheers that's good to hear lmao I hate waiting, too impatient.
I should have gotten my phone in 2 days as well but some f*** ups from TNT extended it to 4 days. It appears that i was unlucky though as nobody else reported issues with the courier service. It might only be my local depot. Anyways, get a TPU case from ebay. It should provide it with enough protection for lightish drops. I got a really nice, clear one with an s pattern on the back from ebay for 2 quid. I'm also still using the original film on the front and back. They're doing their job alright
Regarding the micro sim... Just take your sim card to any phone corner shop and they will cut it to the right size for you. They offered to do it for free in my case. Left them 50 pence tip
I just cut my sim manually with a pair of scissors

My Nexus 4 arrives tomorrow !!! I'm also coming from a broken Xperia Play, my screen just came unresponsive and then it stopped working. I'm not from the UK but lately google has been shipping this devices in the expected time if not sooner.
As for the case, I ordered the official bumper (looks awesome, in pictures at least...) and the Spigen SGP Ultra Dual from Amazon. I'll coma back tomorrow to post my initial impressions on the bumper an the screen protector, I hope it doesn't add too much bulk

that's a little tricky. I cut my counsin's sim successfully, but when I cut my sim, it didn't work...
Titanium Backup is good for... backup, if you are looking an useful apps for Nexus 4. I also use System Tuner to turn off some background-running and start-up apps, as well as watch the CPU's temperature. Another apps I use is BetterBatteryStats. You also need an apps like Solid Explorer (trial for 7 days), however there are many apps with the same function, and free. Topic for you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1992163
The Ballistic is bulky based on people's reviews, but they say it provides quite good protection.
I have this case http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1992163, two layers, you can see the images and decide for yourself. If you want to see the back of your nexus, you can use the official bumper although some folks really dont like it because it provides nothing to protect the back. There is a case with a transparent back, the Ringkee or something, go to Accessories, that thread is quite hot there.
For the back and front screen. Becareful. dont drop it and it will stay in good condition. I recommend a screen protector to avoid scratches.
I dont know how it is easy to crack the phone. I take my phone everywhere in my jeans' pocket (not skinny ) and it 's still good now without a scratch.
Cheers Yea I ordered a micro-sim anyway I feel like changing my number as there is a few contacts I wish no longer had my number, not that they bother with me nor I with them, but just to make sure they don't
As for the second link, it's the same post (must have apps lol) what case? :S

For the Slimport adapter, you can at least save a few quid if you use the coupon code ANDROID3 at checkout on Amazon.co.uk. Saves you £3.
Ordered it this morning, shipped by 5pm GMT, could it come tonight?
I ordered mine at 2118 on a Monday night and I had it Tuesday morning... Can't complain
I don't have ant screen protectors or a case for mine - just need to be careful, just think a case ruins the look of the phone and I'm not willing to compromise

I checked it out at my local corporate store, it was just the red and black 32g models . I had to test out the camera since no one is saying anything about the clarity of it.. And I must say its pretty good. Better then my nexus 5 and all the prior moto x and droid lineup

Ya know, for not liking this phone much you sure watch it's updates and post a lot here. What's the deal? You getting one?
Anyways, how good did the display look with all that rez? Good color? Nice and clear?
I thought it was pretty good, I only navigated through the menus and the camera and its mostly dark colors throughout the menus. But it was pretty good in my eyes .Only problem with the 32g is that they look and feel so much like the other droids

did you get a chance to check out one of the ballistic nylon ones? that's what I'm going with if i pull the trigger.
I saw all three at my local store a couple of nights ago. The moron that made the display tags for them labelled them all "16GB $179.99 on a two year contract". The person that greeted me at the door didn't even know that they were in the store. Inspiring.

It feels softer/less slick than most ballistic nylon that I've handled. Also snagged all of the microscopic burs on my skin, like a microfiber cloth. Caused a "nails on a chalkboard" sensation. I'm set on the 64GB though so I'll have to live with it.

Thats discouraging. I'll have to feel it out a bit, I could see that getting annoying. I'll probably end up buying that one anyway, cuz I reeaaally don't like the kevlar look anymore. It was cool when they first started doing it with the OG Razr and such, but now it just seems tacky and dated.
I've never seen the Kevlar phones of the past, but I thought it looks very good on turbo... Extremely well built. I did like the feeling of the fiberglass phones better on my hand, but will opt for the Kevlar for personal use. I actually like the looks of the Kevlar more than the moto leather or wood.

Curious if it would get any better with time once it's "broken in". I feel like it would be annoying, but it could also smooth out the fibers as you handle it.
Went to the VZW store in the skyway (pretty small store) and they only have the MGF models out on the floor. Might hit the store near home after work and see if they have the nylon out. I liked what I saw, though. A bit bigger than I imagined, but I liked the 2 minutes I spent with it.

LG G4 Canadian Thread

Don't think this has been started yet. Let's get the ball rolling! Who else is getting one on the 19th? Does anyone happen to have one now? Initial thoughts if you do! Personally, I'm excited for the two backs that are included in the box (supposedly). We rarely get stuff like that in Canada!
Grabbing one as soon as I can. I already have some Spigen plastic screen protectors, an Orly tempered glass protector, and a Ringke slim case to use with the plastic back. All purchased from Amazon.
I don't believe the US got two backs in the package though. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think we will get both on the box. So far, it looks like the black leather will be the only colour offered.
I read on Mobilesyrup both gray plastic and black leather backs would be included in the box. Pretty bold thing of them to say if they weren't positive. I'm hoping they're right!
Our lg rep has shown off his g4 a couple times in the last 2 weeks. Beauty device. First non HTC device I will own since the diamond. He's confirmed that both the black leather and grey metallic backs will be included. Great news right ?? I'd say.
I ordered the LG-H815 international model after owning and loving the G3 and this phone is a beaut. By far the nicest phone I have owned and I have pretty much owned em all. It is sexy looking with the black leather back and I have to say I am a fan of the subtle curved screen. Great battery life and better reception in Victoria than the G3 so I am thrilled, could be happier. I even bought two different Sena iphone 6 plus cases and had them sewn into a sweet little wallet sleeve for my g4.
Switching between carriers??
Hi,
It seems on LG's website that all Canadian carriers are getting model number H812. THat means the HW should be the same for all and only the software is controlling the radio bands the device can use. I'm on Wind but might need to switch to Bell in the future (if work makes me switch). I know people with Samsung's S6 can switch device software so they can get it to work on different carriers. Has anything like this been possible in the past with LG? Any guesses on whether it could be possible with LG G4?
This is my first LG phone so I have no idea what their track record is other than it is not great.
Will H812 in Canada have FM radio enabled?
I'm scared of purchasing one after hearing all the issues that are plaguing the phone.
I'm hoping that the majority of it is software issues that a patch will fix, but the battery life stuff is hit or miss for the most part. Coming from a M7, I really want a phone that can do it all, without issues. The M7 was great up until the camera crapped out and it felt gimped from that point. Otherwise it's been a awesome phone.
I'm just sketched out, I was planning on hitting up Rogers friday morning just to grab this bad boy.
I have been following all the threads also. You get issues with every device. Hell, check out the S6/S6e forums at AC if you want to get freaked out. The thing is, only the people WITH issues raise a stink, there are many more people out there that either don't have, or don't notice the issues.
We have 15 days anyways, and we know what the issues are, so we can check for them before the return time expires.
I already have one reserved with Rogers (via Best Buy), and I will get it the minute it's available. I will definitely run it through the paces to check for the common issues as soon as I can.
Worst case, I exchange/return it. Hopefully I don't have to return it, because I already have a tempered glass screen protector and brown leather back inbound. I don't want to eat those costs, lol.

I don't know about the FM radio yet, but the Canadian carriers have been pretty good about NOT neutering features like some other carriers *cough*Verizon*cough*.

Good post about putting things in perspective!
Can I ask where you managed to get your brown leather back from? I was thinking of posting on the forums to switch the black leather back with someone who has a brown one. Is that what you did?
Thanks
Not sure if anyone else here agrees with me, but doesn't a lot of these issues that have been appearing recently seem to be mostly coming from US variants?
My reasoning is that that phone was already released but we didn't hear a lot about issues until the US release. This might also be that more US people browse here and therefore come and vocalize about their issues. So I'm hoping it's mostly an issue with the US variants.

I actually ordered mine on eBay. They are from Korea, so they come embossed with "band LTE" carrier logo, but you can hardly see it. Outside that, only Verizon has the brown.

There are also issues with people in the USA who bought the H815 UK unlocked model, so I don't think it's only the US models. You are correct though, it does appear to be mostly the USA models.
Hopefully the fact that we get ours released later means hopefully we get a later software version with less bugs.

I'll take that bet. I don't think there are enough potential buyers in Canada for LG to bother with that. But, I hope I'm wrong!

Yes really. Whether or not this is available at any/all carriers I do not know. I do know that the t-booth location in the city in which I live, has an accessory pack with all 3 items, in store. No contacting LG with proof of purchase etc... I wouldn't have expected this either.

Convince me not to refuse my moto x pure...

Ordered September 11th. Delivery was supposed to be today. Has been stuck on being built ever since then. Just chatted online and said maybe 23rd.
It's a 64gb black/black leather with dark silver accent.
Another reason I'm losing interest is moto finally put some cases online. Ugly. Spigen and Rearth aren't selling cases for this phone on amazon either. Moto isn't selling the power support screen protectors which have been my favorite but are sold for very few phones. (My company issued us 6+'S and power support was out of stock on smooth protectors so i got matte and they're still damn good). Rearth and spigen don't have screen protectors or cases available either. Little reason for me to get this phone if I can't accessorize it properly. What say you guys?

Accept it, play with it and rma it if you don't like it. I wouldn't send anything back without a rma. I ordered on the fourth early in the am and they still haven't even started building mine.

Stick with iPhone? Are you nuts? It was company issued iPhone. It's terrible. I appreciated ios's strengths, but now owning one, I hate Apple's ui even more. The ui isn't all it's cracked up to be, not simple like so many people proclaim, it's a cluster**** and performance is slightly above par with kitkat. Doesn't hold a candle to marshmallow. That being said, android still has it's downfalls, but nowhere near as bad as android.
And,yes , accessories are a must for me. I already worry about my big ass note4 at my job. A cracked screened or borked phone could happen any moment. Good thing build quality is up to par. Don't mind l metal frame, i still would prefer a nice ergonomic plaastic. The moto x is looks good. Looks like it can handle my job dangers easily enough. Hate the striped back though. Dimple looks too low. But the original moto x was awesome minus being too small. The moto pure is an almost perfect note4, minus s pen, taking a hit on low light camera shots and the reception should be badass. My note4 isnt a slouch with reception , but moto and Nokia are king in that area.
Yes I am upset it's late. Not a big deal. Would've been nice if they updated status to reflect that. The lack of proper cases and screen protectors pushes it past the edge of not being a keeper. My job is too rigorous and dangerous to humans and phones to go without protection . moto reps have no idea or clue when accessories become available. Am really looking forward to having 64GB internal and 128 or 200GB external sd card. Just frustrated they're botching the launch out the gate. Looking for reasons to go with it. Our iPhone 6+ are at&t, but reception is still lacking. Moto should make up for that with T-Mobile. T-Mobile is making a come up in coverage. I wish their RIL's were more aggressive with 700mhz band. I know moto is pushing an update to remedy that soon. Also, looking forward to somewhat more timely updates, which Samsung and carriers have bombed. Can't believe the other 3 carriers haven't pushed 5.1.1 yet. And Samsung phónes are notorious for less than desirable updates. Seems the initial firmware and subsequent updates to same #'ed firmware are the only polished firmwares. 5.0.1 is terrible. And for those that don't know, the beta marshmallow on nexus5 is great compared to 5.1.1. I really think a lot of people will really enjoy how polished marshmallow is compared to 5.1.1. For example, using power save mode on marshmallow doesn't gimp phones like 5.1.1. Still hate the color change though when using power save mode. Im sure xposed will address that in near future.
Anyways, the lack of desirable accessories is making me less anxious to get it. If I don't have proper protection I can't carry it to work or use as daily driver. Hoping someone makes a great case/sales pitch that I should stick it out and try/keep it. I do like somethings about tpuchwiz, but the bloat, overweight tpuchwiz, bad ram management and physical buttons are hard to bear with. If my htc m8 supported 700mhz I'd probably be rolling withthat. It's been deprecated to fancy music player and phone to use when my note4 is being charged early before going to bed.
Somebody, change my mind. I really loved the original moto x but it was just too damn small. Barely, and I mean barely bigger than iPhone 5/5s. Impressed a lot of people.
Wow. I ordered mine the minute it went on sale and I've had mine since the 11th. Interesting. But yes, if you are looking for accessories than get the iPhone. That is the only thing iPhone have going for them.

Lol oh...
Came from oneplusone. No complaints here. Ordered, received earlier than expected. If you think moto fiasco is horrible, your in for surprise. I love it, love it, and love it. Where are the devs at? Can't wait for roms that will make this device real deal pure edition. Pretty good now, im pretty certain it will be one of the best. OnePlus 1 running temasek rom feels better than moto x pure stock rom. I can't wait and hope leaving OnePlus optimism stays that way.

I think this phone is excellent. I like the things that matter most - the display, camera and speakers. Battery is good for me also. I can't imagine buying a phone based on accessories. That would have no influence on my decision.
Time for you to go back in Orbit.
You clearly stated your needs and wants the Moto doesn't fit those requirements for you.
Time to move on.

Ordered mine on the 11th also. Delivery estimate was for today. Lol. Haven't seen any change since being built on the 12th. I haven't called to haggle them. I'm assuming it will be here next week. Black front, slate back, dark titanium frame and accents. 64gb.

Ordered September 11th. Delivery was supposed to be today. Has been stuck on being built ever since then. Just chatted online and said maybe 23rd.
It's a 64gb black/black leather with dark silver accent.
Another reason I'm losing interest is moto finally put some cases online. Ugly. Spigen and Rearth aren't selling cases for this phone on amazon either. Moto isn't selling the power support screen protectors which have been my favorite but are sold for very few phones. (My company issued us 6+'S and power support was out of stock on smooth protectors so i got matte and they're still damn good). Rearth and spigen don't have screen protectors or cases available either. Little reason for me to get this phone if I can't accessorize it properly. What say you guys?

Rearth just released screen protectors - http://bit.ly/1KnOfrJ
Stuff's coming out, slowly but surely.
If you need us to convince you, chances are you don't want the device.
If you're worried about screen protectors, I bought this one and it's very durable, and I can't even tell it's on my phone.

That being said, this phone is great! If you don't already feel good about the purchase though it will sour the experience as long as you own it. Return it if you don't feel good about it. At least someone will get it as a refurb at a lower price that will appreciate it that way.

Lol the phone only been out for a week and a few days. I give it a month or so to see some cases and such

Silver only...really??

I hate silver phones, always have. Anyone I have ever seen just reminds me of a cheap child's toy. And now that I decided to pull the trigger, the unlocked grey one is sold out for now. Come on Verizon, get with the program and offer some more variety!

Just buy the unlocked US version and flash the Verizon RUU on it. gg
The nice part is the black front. Pop a case or a skin on it and you can't even tell it's silver. It's actually not too bad looking, and I agree that I *hate* white/silver phones.
Thanks @DoctorB0NG ...read OP though

Just check swappa. At least 2-3 show up on there every day. It's pretty easy to get a hold of one.
What I hate more is a black phone that shows every little nick and mark through the finish and you can't even remember how they got there in the first place. No issue with silver at all with this model as its face it black. Put it in a black TPU case such as the Diztronic or the $20 silicone version sold at Verizon stores. Problem solved.
I like the silver
