Once my electronics are out of warranty I fix them myself. I've never had to repair a phone before, but I'd have no qualms about disassembling and replacing parts myself.
For damage that makes the phone inoperable I probably would take it to a store for fast repair. However, for something less severe like a finicky home button or battery that doesn't hold as much charge as I'd like, I'd rather do the repair myself. I just like taking stuff apart to repair.
but the x has a 2,200 mah and the razr hd has a 2,500-2,600 mah battery.. so im confused
Yes. Mid range hardware with a nice exterior and finish. With a healthy markup. Sounds like Apple to me.
THis is a reason to want this phone to sell like hot cakes!
"okay google now, wake me up at 3 am and again at 4 am."
"okay google now, text mom.... you daughter is in a porn movie."
Exactly. Funny people aren't bringing up the fact that everything you say to siri goes to apples servers. Pot calling the kettle?
You don't understand "training" That is just improve accuracy with how you speak, it does not mean it will respond only to your voice. (inflection, tone, draw, etc)
So yes, the device will still activate with another persons voice. It's just that it would be less accurate if dictating things like a text message.
This is already built into google now as it is, just not as part of a set up, and the feature requires you enable storage of your voice on google servers.
There is supposed to be a google version sold by google which should be unlocked and free of any provider bloatware and no need for a contract. If its only say $200 more for that version its probably well worth the extra $$.
It's foolish to believe Apple doesn't do the same. All major tech companies are documented as PRISM providers. Also, what do you have to hide?
As a android fan I was really looking to this phone and is very disappointed no one mentioned the pinkish screen yet it's awful. This Moto has made me give up on android and give apple a try.
apple news and rumors have been pretty boring as of late.
most exciting news of the month was the VP of hardware who got the sack.
What happens if you and your wife/spouse have this phone, one of you ask "Ok, Google Now"? i guess you get your answer in surround sound from both phones!
I am _NOT_ defending Samsung or advocating for TouchWiz, but I will say this. Unless you own an S4, like I do, you've got no appreciation for the improvements Samsung has made to TouchWiz. Yes in the beginning it was very poor, but now it's got some very good features.
While this is true, at least you control when Siri is listening. You don't control when Google is listening. It's potentially a virtual treasure trove for the NSA and other government agencies.
