The entire distribution thing: "Verizon Exclusive" NOT... is SO badly handled too. Thoughts?

So, I'm posting this because my 1st gen Turbo has been the most functional and responsive phone I've ever had and this forum, with its unusually helpful and technically aware members has been so useful. I've tried to give back a bit in my little way. Always been Android, always Moto...

Motorola Droid Turbo (XT1254), latest stock Verizon software, 5.1, Config version: F14.MOT.XT1254.0 There is the ubiquitous Google Search bar with the microphone icon for speaking to your phone or you can input a query with keyboard at the top of every screen. Some hate it, some like it, I...

When I restarted the phone after the FDR and entered the primary Google account, it automatically restored from a Google backup without asking if this was what I wanted -- very unclear. Since the reason for the wipe was to troubleshoot, I didn't want a full automatic restore -- the largest...

from any place but the actual Google Now interface called by swiping up from the bottom. So, any of the home screen Google search bars at the top, tapping the mic to speak results in no response. Really bad. Any advice?

The Turbo is a great device, mostly. However, a downside is that no capability seems to exist to make the camera flashes flash momentarily for an incoming call or text. This is normally an accessibility setting and should be on the Turbo. Is anyone aware of any 3rd party app that provides this...

I have a Tylt charger. If I turn off the phone and put it on the charger it turns on. Thoughts?

So I wrote a draft email in the Gmail app on my Turbo and tried to attach a file (a small pdf) in Dropbox -- no joy, not an option. So I went to the Dropbox app on the phone and downloaded the file to the phone. I then edited the draft email, added a cc, attached the file, saw it attached and...

Hi. I really dislike the dialer that shows the pictures of all the contacts and is GLARING white. Anyone use any others that have proven useful, particularly if a dark background and a list view are possible? Thanks.

Hey. I've been Droid for years and I know the Turbo is my next phone. I do have an "upgrade" but I don't get the implications of using Edge on a 4 smartphone account. I have a low amount of shared data (4gb) and would like something more "modern and normal"...(is that possible...?...;-) Any...

So, stock Maxx, latest update and, yeah, Google Now broken. When I swipe up the "Google circle" blinks into view but then it won't fully go through so as to see the cards. Safe mode fixes it so this means an app has broken it. Does anyone have any experience with what app or type of app might...

Voicemail notifications recur. For calls I've already gotten and checked/dismissed. It is driving me insane. I use Google Voice, I've disabled sms for Hangouts, using the stock messaging app as GV is no longer available as a choice. Any ideas? Thanks.

Anyone experience this? It really is unpleasant/distracting: "what, he called AGAIN? Oh, gd, it's the renotification thing AGAIN!" You have to check to be sure too because what if it was a new call? Thanks. David

I have this error coming up all the time now; I'm using a new Jawbone Up and also a new Garmin 2577 LT gps, both of which seem to work well until this error comes up on the phone. I have looked in running apps and don't find Bluetooth Share running either before or after; the error seems to...

There seems to be no way to change the Google account in Chrome on the Maxx. I have multiple accounts but in settings can't see how to switch. Please tell me I'm just blind and this is obvious... I want to see my Maxx Chrome browsing history on my other devices but it isn't currently using the...
