Mine has been flawless, minus the dip in the water, it wouldn’t charge right for a few minutes after. A blow dryer fixed that within 5 min ---

Well I jumped ship over to Verizon and got on my girls plan. Tired of paying $100 a month. Shes works for First Niagara and gets a nice discount. After searching and looking at phones I picked up the Droid MAXX. I love this phone, its snappy, amazing battery life, and its the most “pure” android that I’ve used besides my Nexus 4. Motorola seems fast with updates as 4.4.4 is already rolling out. I charged the phone Monday night and this morning it still has 70% left. My N4 usually has around 15-20% by the time I get home from work. Screen size is perfect for me. Its a little heavy but I knew that coming in because of the battery. Over all this is a great phone and coverage/data has been great. ---

> [@LZ](#): > > Google IO Keynote @ 12:00pm EST Yay, Android 5.0! That screaming you hear in the force is the sound of millions of 1 year old or less Android phones going obsolete because they’ll never get the update. 🙂 ---

Obsolete, nah. I think the Moto X will probably get it. Plus you’d have plenty of other phone choices to choose from that would also have it. ---

My LG G3 should arrive today or tomorrow. Considering I’ve been using a droid x for the past 6 years, this will be a noted improvement haha. ---

I was on the fence with the G3. Let me know what you think. I ended up with a S5 Active. ---

So unless you’re running pure Android on a Nexus good luck with seeing a patch for this before 2015 by the time the carriers actually push out the update, if they even offer one for your phone. ---

> [@LZ](#): > > I just loled at “The high-impact vulnerability has existed in Android” > > The catch phrase is growing everyday > > Also the Google play store isn’t really a magical fix for this I’m not sure which OS layer would fix the vulnerability, but google play services is much more than just the store. Google has been breaking out much of their core functionality and pushing it into google play services so that they can push updates over the air without involving carriers and oems. The idea is that anything that’s not tied to hardware (kernel, drivers, etc…) is able to be updated at any time. So hopefully a fix will be available via google play services. ---
