Okay I come from Sprint Galaxy S3 now on Moto X

Annoying things
1. I get a text message with a slideshow (pictures) I cant save them I dont know how to theres no menu button and I long press and nothing

2. Portrait and Landscape Mode no easy access you literally have to go to settings

3. Screen is off I say the magical phrase but I have to put a pin number I heard somewhere you can say it or bypass it when using the feature instead of manually typing the pin number in

4. Is there a way to train the device to learn the Spanish names somehow?

5. How to delete multiple contacts

5. How to delete multiple contacts

3. If you say the phrase and then a command, if it requires unlocking the device it will prompt you to say or enter your PIN (if you have PIN lock enabled). This does require the latest version of the Touchless Control app (I'm on 4.2.02.1 and it works for me) and MAY require KitKat.

4. not sure

5. you want to delete more than one at a time or find duplicates and delete them automatically?

In the stock messaging app (not while you are looking at the slideshow, but at the list of messages from the contact(s)), long-press just to left of the slideshow icon in the message that you received. A menu will pop up. I can't recall the exact wording, but I believe there is a selection to download the attachment. This will put all of the photos into the downloads folder on the phone.

2. Portrait and Landscape Mode no easy access you literally have to go to settings

You'll have to explain this better. I have no idea what you are trying to describe.

3. Screen is off I say the magical phrase but I have to put a pin number I heard somewhere you can say it or bypass it when using the feature instead of manually typing the pin number in

Do you have KitKat? That's an update to Touchless Controls only for KitKat. I have a Droid Maxx, not an X, but I just did that with my phone locked. "OK Google Now. Open Gmail". It asked me to say or type my PIN. I said my PIN, it unlocked, and opened GMail for me.

4. Is there a way to train the device to learn the Spanish names somehow?

Hmm, I know that you can set a "phonetic name" in the contact. Open the People app, tap a contact, menu->edit. Toward the bottom is "add another field". Tap that button and you can add a phonetic name field. I'm not sure how you add Spanish pronunciation, though. It'd be nice if it used the microphone to record the pronunciation - but I don't think it can.

5. How to delete multiple contacts

If they are Google contacts, do it on a computer. I don't think there is a way from the phone.
 
Pretty sure the OP is talking about the Auto rotate screen setting of the phone.

Must settings can be found in the drop down menu.

Currently, you have to go through:

Pull down > Settings > Display > Auto Rotate just to turn it off and on.

Simple method to fix this would be to use a third party application to put that on your home screen.
