Happy to report success - well, partial success anyway. Per GedBlake, I swapped in a new machine and cable, and per simmac I made sure my binaries were updated. As it turns out, this was unnecessary: my mistake, after looking at GedBlake's screenshot was that I was not down in fastboot, I was...

So assuming fastboot doesn't see the device, then, I'm out of options and looking at an RMA? Why would this be? I've placed both adb and fastboot both in the machine's PATH, so executing them with the ./ prefix is unnecessary. Certainly worked just fine the first time around without them.

Unfortunately, fastboot can't see the device either: ferro$ fastboot devices ferro$ This is with the Nexus 9 connected and in fastboot mode. As for it being a driver issue, everything that I've seen suggests that specific to Windows, and I'm on Mac. Is that accurate, or are there drivers I...

In the same boat here. Enabled USB debugging, OEM unlocked, flashed the device manually (build failed, did the .img's sequentially), now the device gets stuck on the Google logo at boot. Attempted recovery and reset, no joy. Gets stuck on the Google logo. When back in the Fastboot menu...

This is what got pushed:

Just got pushed the 5.1 OTA for my Pure yesterday. Didn't even have to play any games with checking for updates.

This piece is claiming LTE/3G rollout beginning early December.

Also bummed about the lack of deb images. I probably need to adjust my calculus for purchasing the devices in future. Part of the reason I purchase the Nexus devices in the first place is the expedited access to new Android versions. If the mobile data versions are going to lag so significantly...

Yeah, this last update to Voice addressed the latency issues, but created a whole new set of problems as "set alarm" now just gets passed to Google instead of actually setting the alarm. If I have to actually click "Set Alarm" on the resulting Google search page, it kind of defeats the point of...

For anyone curious for some stats, I just got my Turbo charger and let my phone run completely dry. After a timed 15 minutes (only booted up after the 15 were up), my phone was at 29%. After a second timed 15 minute segment, it was at 57%. That's not as good as I'd hoped, but it's certainly...

Cool, I'll give it a look. Hope it addresses the silent fail as well.

As a big fan of the original Moto X, which I unfortunately damaged beyond repair, a big factor for me in choosing to replace it with the 2014 version was the Moto software - specifically what used to be called Moto Assist. The ability to both detect driving and automatically read and reply to...

as promised earlier in this thread, have a field report on the pure edition from vermont. it's a good news / bad news kind of thing, i'm afraid. the bad news is that where i am, at least, in middlebury, vt the pure edition is not connecting to LTE - network is 4G HSPA. the good news is that...

possibly of interest to some of you: i found out my pure 32 GB with a wood back was shipping yesterday, but that was via fedex delivery manager. didn't get the motorola shipping confirmation until an hour ago.

assuming delivery dates are correct, i'll have a pure edition in hand this week and will be in vermont monday. will report back regarding LTE signal or lackthereof.

ordered on the 16th, got my assembly notice on the 20th and a shipping confirmation today. even with a case engraving. supposed to arrive thursday, a day early.

I'd much rather that the Pure Edition have all the bands of the AT&T flavor, but as stated by sabbotage, it would appear AT&T only uses 2, 4 and 17 in the US anyway: List of LTE Networks

Not sure about the new model, but at least with the old Moto X this was not the case. As long as the phone detects movement akin to driving it will read texts out loud, pocket or no. It's one reason I have to remember not to turn off Airplane Mode when the plane is taxiing over to the gate; I've...

The thing I found most notable about this review was the complete dismissal of Moto Voice. For me, this was one of the best attributes of the original Moto X, and it worked well enough to impress iPhone users with its text-message-by-voice feature that mostly "Just Worked." Mileage may vary...

Can't even load motorola.com here: getting a 502.

As long as they have 32 GB Pure editions, I'm ordering. Will be nice to stop having to check when they go on sale.

Verge is saying noon ET, apparently.

Will it be on sale everywhere (i.e. AT&T's site as well) or just Motorola/Moto Maker?

Have an American Movil XT1058 with an unlocked bootloader which I previously flashed with the 4.2.2 AT&T build, but not have any luck flashing the new image. Put the phone into fastboot mode (volume down + power), fastboot devices returns the following...

While it should have been obvious, it's worth letting people know that the AT&T ROMs disable tethering. Again, most people probably know this, but coming from Nexus devices it hadn't even occurred to me. So if there is a dev edition ROM floating around out there where this isn't disabled by...

For those of you looking for howto flash instructions, these threads should get you there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446515 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2467595 Hope they help!

Having bought a Moto X off eBay that's preloaded with an American Movil build, I'd like to upgrade that to something more current. Assuming I can figure out how to flash it in the first place - haven't had any luck getting a reply to this proposed flashing process yet - what build should I apply...

For any of you that have successfully flashed it with the AT&T, Ghost or other ROMs, would you mind doing a quick high level how to? i.e. here are the individual steps I used? I don't mean how to complete each step - that can be looked up - but when I see things like "Remember edit first the...

Apologies for the dumb question, but I just wanted to be sure I have the rough sequence of flashing correct here for an America Movil XT1058 (i.e. AT&T). Assuming I want to cut over to AT&T firmware from America Movil, is this roughly what I need to do? Am I missing steps? 1. Root the Moto X...

Those of you have been waiting for the Galaxy Nexus to gain support for Bluetooth Low Energy - to enable syncing with devices like the Fitbit Flex or Polar heart monitor - can stop. While BLE support will arrive in the next drop of Android, it will - according to one of the folks on the Android...

Looks like Google's wised up to this: deleted the data in Settings:Apps, but no update. Have a stock yakju GN. Update: Belay that: did this three times consecutively and the update started after the final time.

just saw the the Galaxy S II Skyrocket, which has LTE support but is otherwise (IMO) an inferior phone. Seems safe to assume, now, that the Nexus isn't coming to AT&T. Here's the question: obviously the HSPA+ version of the Galaxy Nexus isn't going to be LTE compatible, and the Verizon LTE...

All kinds of rumors flying around now. This guy claims that Verizon and Samsung are fighting over reception issues. http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/android-news-rumors/9760-verizon-getting-galaxy-nexus.html Which would seem implausible except for the fact that a) they didn't announce...

LTE is technically AT&T as well, at least in some markets, but yes, I've heard the same rumors. That's what I'm trying to pin down, as Verizon's coverage in my area is spotty.

I've seen all manner of speculation on the subject of which carriers, specifically, are going to be carrying the Galaxy Nexus, but the majority of it is conflicting reports. Does anyone have good links or intel on where the Nexus will be available, carrier-wise?

Is there a consensus for carrier coverage in the US? Most sites I've seen are still claiming it's a Verizon exclusive: "Lastly, we’re still hearing that the Galaxy Nexus will be a Verizon Wireless exclusive here in the U.S."...

none of the 6/6 updates work for the Verizon Xoom (3.1), AFAICT. still get the same "You must update..." warning.

On a Verizon Xoom (3.1 upgraded), I get the same "New version of application is found, you must upgrade to be able use application" message. My choices are to quit the app, or be redirected to the market which obviously won't let me upgrade. Tried the second build w/ device check removed as...

At I/O, Google said that Music was a beta program with a limited audience initially: all attendees got an invite. There are two components: the new player, and the backend service. I believe they are independent of one another, such that you can download the Music Beta app in the Market but...

no joy with that approach yet here (stock Xoom 3G)

Same problem here. This was working here, but an update seems to have broken it as I'm now getting the "Transport endpoint is not connected" error. Went back through all of it from the fstab to the udev rules and none of my changes had been backed out, so it has to be a changed/bad package.

Has anyone tried the moleskine covr for the Kindle DX? If the Cole Haan Kindle case works for the Xoom, I'm wondering if the Moleskine might.

One day later and this solution is now working for me. The Xoom filesystem behaves oddly in Nautilus, with some files not appearing that have in fact been transferred to the device, but otherwise this is the best solution I've found.

Here's a Handbrake preset for the Xoom. Enjoy.

This is semi-working for me in that I can successfully mount and browse the device, but there are a few problems. One, it locks up Nautilus for 30-60 seconds (grayed out and unresponsive) though it does come back. Two, file transfer speeds are very poor. I'm trying to load two movies totaling...

I've founded a working(ish) solution. This Xoom forum post details an approach that permits transfer of video/music/etc to the Xoom via Linux. Couple of caveats: 1. The gnomad2 application is very unstable. Crashes frequently. 2. It appears to be write-only: I have not been able to delete...

Just sent them an email, no response as yet. Love the look of those cases, though. Easily my first choice for a Xoom case.

For those of you considering a Xoom, here are my experiences after a week with the device, the good the bad and the ugly. With a week left, I'm leaning towards keeping it after the fourteen day trial ends. Hope this helps.
