    Every single stream app on my G2, audio out of sync.

    Netflix, twitch, lakitu (another twitch app) they ALL are out of sync ever so slightly with the mouth of whatever is being said on screen, it does this on both wifi and LTE. Has anyone else experienced this? Its sooooo annoying, my old phone was a mid level HTC device and there was none of...

    LOVING this phone so far, im at 49 hours on battery and its at 49% left LOL.

    Looking to try samsung, any faults/quirks?

    So i am looking to get a new phone to bring to cricket wireless, and ive narrowed it down to the G3/G2/galaxy s5. One of the things that kind of bothers me about the samsung is that the power button is on the left side of the phone, does this ever become a problem of accidentally activating when...

    Hi guys, i am about to go to cricket wireless and i cant decide between the 2013 and 2014 versions. I have watched reviews on both and i was hoping to have them confirmed by someone on this forum who has used both phones: 1. 2013 has a better screen than the 2014. I have watched several...

    Hey guys, im about to switch to cricket and they limit 3g (HSPA+) to 4mbps, would that be enough for 720p netflix streaming?

    How is the speaker on the 2013 moto x?

    So the moto x (2013) is my front runner for being my next phone since i am going to be switching to cricket wireless, mainly because its not a tiny phone but its not huge like most flagships. I really like the idea of a amoled display since i view my phone at an angle a lot (reading on the bed...

    Is verizon version unlocked for other carriers?

    So two questions i guess: 1. I have heard i can use verizon LG G2 on crickets network as long as the phone isnt blacklisted etc, just pop sim in and change the settings menu to GSM mode? 2. Do you guys prefer the button layout of the verizon model to the other models or vice versa? I am...

    So after researching phones for quite some time ive come to the conclusion that buying a used G2 is the best bang for my buck, but i come to ask what dont you like about your G2? 1. I keep hearing the interface feels "laggy" on g2 and g3, what is your experience with smoothness inside...

    Where can i buy this phone?

    So i really want this phone,i think i would enjoy it more than the moto g. Problem is that no carriers have this phone anymore, and i cannot afford a g3 (plus i think g3 may be too big for my hands). I can only find it on amazon for 379.99 with 6 dollars shipping but its not actually sold...

    The one thing that annoys me with kitkat update...

    Is how the lock screen makes you select the lower half of your screen (for me the weather/time) or the actual lock thats at the bottom of the screen, to unlock the phone. Prior to the update you could just grab anywhere on the screen and pull up then the phone would unlock, now it takes two...

    How do i turn off auto complete, but keep suggestions?

    So suggestions for words are great, very useful. Auto correct on the other hand is absrudly frustrating lol. Does anyone know how to keep the suggestions that pop up for a word while tying and yet disable the auto complete? Thanks.
