HTC One X to Moto X - The king is dead, long live the king!

[Bouncer]

Well shit. I don't know if its just a nexus thing than? I assumed it was for all android.

This why I never understood why you guys were worried about your hard drive size. Basically on my phone I could wipe the hard drive and reset to factory right this second and as soon as I sign back in with my Google profile every single thing on my phone will be right there. Even the way I have my home screen apps arranged. Every last detail is backed up and at my finger tips instantly.

MOTHER FUCKER! Shows how much time I spend messing with my phone. I've always used the Gallery when dealing with photos. Did some reading, found the native Photo app, and bam..found what you were talking about.

Since I've always used my SD card I never paid it any mind.

BLM, just go to Google+ or Photos and turn on auto backup.

[blm]

No bro. I'm talking about the automatic free backup stuff. So every time I take a pic it's just automatically backed up. Videos, apps, pics, settings etc. Do you not have this? I don't understand.

No man. And when I look for information on it I can't find shit. Only thing I've ever used for the few things I've stored in cloud is Drive. There is an option for Google+ auto back up that saves photos and videos. I don't use Google+ though.

Maybe it's not an option with my dinosaur. Lol.

Bouncer, referring back to cloud storage. With the moto x you get an additional 50GB free on Drive but it's only available for two years.

Is this the cloud based storage by Google you were referring to that you use?

No bro. I'm talking about the automatic free backup that comes standard. So every time I take a pic it's just automatically backed up. Videos, apps, pics, settings, contacts etc. Do you not have this? I don't understand.

I'm glad your looking for a google play edition phone. For those that don't know. It's pure android like the Nexus line without the garbage the phones companies install over it. Samsung is by far the biggest offender of this. Their software cheapens and trashes android. I'm actually upset that someone as seemingly smart as you are would ever be caught dead with such shit.

Lol. You take it a little far. Samsung multitasking trumps all. I switch a lot and have occasionally flashed ROMs, so while touchwiz isn't ideal, it doesn't bother me that much.

The Google edition m8 is one nice machine. Maybe I'll have one soon.

If I'm going out day to day on personal time I don't use them. But when I'm at work I use a cover protect my phone.

[Scrumhalf]

+1. Haven't had a case on my phone since the first few months I had my 3GS lol...

I can't do the cover/case thing. All our phones look like engineering perfection and then we slap some crap on it and completely ruin the look.

If you are like me and drop the damn thing all the time, you'd have a cover lol

But I agree, I hate it.

I was wondering when you would comment on the wood finish. I knew you'd hate it. Lol.

The phones are nearly identical spec wise. Few minor differences here and there.

The fact that its basically pure android is why I will probably go with the moto x. I can adapt to cloud storage.

And although I do like the wood finish, I'm not sure I would like it to look at everyday. Plus unless I use a clear cover I'd rarely rarely see it. So I'll just go with black.

Thanks for all the input and feedback. This thread has been very useful.

Yea, google definitely had the influence over Motorola in that they wanted them to keep it as pure as possible. Moto is owned by lenovo now but lets hope they keep that google philosophy in the software.
