Thoughts ?

I owned an X2 before and had trouble with phone calls. I could place and receive calls but sometimes the call would start breaking up so bad we could not hear each other. I even tried using facebook messenger to make a phone call and the break up would happen. Is it possible I could have just had a bad unit? I really miss the phone and am thinking about buying another one.

Moto 360 3rd gen thoughts?

What do you think will be the new specs of the Moto 360 3rd gen?
Personally the 2 important things will be:
-Removable battery (this is something limiting the lifetime of the actual 360)
-Battery that can last last longer with always On display

Moto XP vs Nexus 6P - I've had both, my thoughts

I had a Moto X Pure when they were first released, kept it for 29 days and returned it as soon as the Nexus 6P was released for pre-order, and before my return window closed.

A little over a month ago, I sold my Nexus 6P, that I've had since November, in anticipation of getting a newly announced phone (ZTE Axon 7) and went to my old OnePlus One backup phone....That phone died about 2 weeks ago (my fault). Luckily, I found a 16g Moto X Pure for a great price on my local Craigslist, so I bought it. It's a little dinged up, but nothing a case won't hide.

So.......It's been about 2 weeks with the MXP and I can honestly say, I don't miss my N6P at all and the Axon 7 can take as long as it needs to get here, I'm pretty content with the MXP. About the only thing I REALLY miss is the notification light.......and I miss it a lot. I know the MXP has the Moto display, but when it's across the room you have to walk over to it to see if you have any notifications...With the N6P, and OPO, you can see from across the room whether you have a text, missed call, VM, Twitter, FB, or other notification waiting. So, that's my ONLY gripe. But on the same hand, I do like just being able to wave my hand over my phone to activate it.

As for the speakers, the MXP is better all around. Louder, clearer, more bass and more evenly distributed. The N6P was pretty thin, but still MUCH better than any bottom firing phone. The ear piece was also much louder and fuller than the bottom speaker, making it sound un-balanced. The MXP is really good and even.

As for custom ROM....the N6P has many more. The OPO actually has more, almost too many to choose from. But the MXP is about right. It has several custom/stock ROMs, some AOSP, some CM and other selections available.

As for battery life, the N6P is the best. I could get through all of work and still have about 80-85% battery left. the MXP is around 65-75% with exact same settings and apps.

As for the camera.....People praise the N6P, but I personally like the MXP's camera better. N6P was really good, but the MXP is crisper and seems to capture more detail. I haven't tried in low light yet.

I do miss the fingerprint scanner and USB-C, because I upgraded every cable in the house, car, and my work.....So I had to go pick up a few more cables.

Just a few things I've noticed over the past couple weeks.

Thoughts on the Moto 360 versus the Gear S2?

Hey there

I know this is a topic that has been discussed a thousand times over, but I'm leaning more towards the Moto 360 which is why I came to this forum.

Before yesterday, I did not have any understanding whatsoever on what a smartwatch does or is useful for. I started reading up about Android Wear, Tizen, and WatchOS, and it would seem like WatchOS is the best when it comes to applications and iPhone integration among them. I own an iPhone 6 Plus and that is my biggest issue with anything besides the Apple Watch, however I'm not really into the whole smartwatch idea for pure functionality, but rather for the variety in watch-faces, designs, and as a change from the boring, old, and traditional watches.

I must say I absolutely hate the way the Apple Watch looks which is why it is out of my consideration, so my research was narrowed down to both the Moto 360 2nd Gen vs the Samsung Gear S2. What do you guys think? I have looked at some of the watch-faces available for the Moto 360 and they look outstanding, and if I'm not mistaken there are a lot more options than on the S2?

In terms of functionality, are there any huge differences between them? Performance, battery, responsiveness, compatibility with iOS, and such? We don't have a lot of variants here in Egypt, the only ones I could find were the 46mm Moto and the Gear S2 Classic. Oh by the way, is the 46mm too big? I don't have a tiny wrist or anything but I'm not a fan of really big, bulky watches.

Thank you for your time and help, I truly appreciate it.

CM13 build error, any thoughts?

make: *** No rule to make target '/home/cmbuild/android/system/out/target/common/obj/JAVA_LIBRARIES/tcmiface_intermediates/javalib.jar', needed by '/home/cmbuild/android/system/out/target/common/obj/JAVA_LIBRARIES/okhttp_intermediates/classes-full-debug.jar'. Stop.

^ Anyone have any thoughts or run into this before? Trying to build cm 13, I've extracted the necessary proprietary drivers/libs/whatnot (I believe) but I seem to be at an impasse on brunching this thing... any help would be greatly appreciated. Might be able to set up a remote shell if anyone feels the desire to hack away on my VM...
