Does anybody have any recommendations for a Bluetooth GPS module compatible with Lollipop on a 2014 Moto X? Preferably Bluetooth 4.0 if available.
You may want to look at Dual Electronics.
I have the XGPS150A, that I use while hiking. I tested it on the original moto x and didn't have the best results. Using the Trimble Outdoors app I would lose GPS connection when the phone was locked. Same results using the built in GPS so figured it was just how the phone works. I haven't tested on my new moto x 2014. I do use it on a droid bionic with great results.

Hey guys,
I'm looking to get a pair of good headsets for my Motorola Milestone 2 which are able to answer etc like the stock set. Also, I have a Motorola Xoom so compatibility with that would be nice. Any recommendations?

I was looking for one too. Anybody?
I use a pair of "Android" ones from a HTC Nexus One. The quality is outstanding for what they are, with inline answer call/next track/previous track buttons and a microphone. All work with my Milestone 2 - and all work well - so I highly recommend picking up a pair on eBay or Amazon.

I saw this video today and wondering if my moto mb525 defy can work that,too
I heard all smartphone can use DLNA so my moto might able to work on that htc device right?
i m not sure if i can display all my screen on tv.
If your device has DLNA it can communicate with other devices without problem regardless the brand.
Hello all, I was hoping for some help in deciding on an alternative replacement from Verizon Wireless.
I am on my 4th LG Revolution and it's time for an alternative replacement, and these are my choices.
LG Lucid 2 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=4077
LG Specturm 2 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=3726
Motorol RAZR HD http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=3855
Short Version - Does anyone have experience they would like to share with these phones in the following categories? As it goes, I am leaning towards the RZAR, since I feel that it is a major player.
Call quality.
battery time.
Rooting/Rom-ing?
Media Control headsets
feeling of available support from others on these devices.
Long version.
My needs are podcast consumption, and I read a lot of forums so I have Tapatalk and Forum Runner installed a few times. I use Waze a lot when when I am in the car, and I snap a lot of pictures for writing howto's. Even with a few basic apps installed, the Revolution buckles and lags between app switching and home screens.
I Need my phone rooted for testing corporate VPN, connections. I am a fan of freezing, big-red's bloatware to speed up the phone. I work in IT so know that I have a tenancy to push a device to it's limits.
I did some research and processors in all of them are dual core. The Lucid is 1.2 GHz, while the razr and Spectrum a 1.5 GHz. My thoughts on that are that it will only matter in a year or so, if Ubuntu or FireFox phone OS is still available to play with. I would like to run Cyanogen mod again. (last ran on my OG Droid).
My thoughts are that the Lucid 2 and the Spectrum 2 are mid level phones, so I feel that the LG devices will have much less of a userbase here and on other boards. I am not a fan of the non-removal battery in the RAZR. My wife received that model for her Alternative replacement, she went through three of those before one would finally activate correctly.
I run my podcasts through beyondpod and I love it. I would like to find a phone that would respond to FF/RR controls on a multi button headset. I have had little luck finding info models that have been found to support FF/RW on a headset like the Nexus.
Go with the RAZR HD. Its by far the best on the list. Activation issues are a Verizon problem and/or SIM related so the HD probably wasn't the culprit. The only quality LG phone is the G2 so steer clear.

I can not get the Moto G to recognize a PS3 Sixaxis controller while its plugged in via usb>OTG.
The same controller allows me to navigate through the launcher on a Nexus 7 connected the same way with nothing else installed and no root. I have also been able to navigate like this on the Moto G with a wired Xbox controller via USB.
I planned on mounting the Moto G on top of a PS3 controller, wired or wireless, has anyone got this working wired, or wireless wile rooted? I haven't rooted yet but will if this works.
I'm sure someone else out there owns a Moto G, PS3 controller, and an OTG cable, if anyone would be willing to give it a quick test I would be very grateful. :/
Ok after some testing I have discovered a few things.
1. The controller show up in the USB host controller app as a PS3 controller.
2. The first LED lights up like it is supposed to when trying to set it up with this app: Sixaxis Enabler
So it appears that apps can see and communicate with the controller to an extent, however I have not been able to use it successfully in anything like dead-trigger or emulators. Is it possible that the communication works but the implementation for it's input just isn't there in the ROM? Does Sixaxis controller have it's own implementation that will fix this if I pair it to Bluetooth?

Thanks for the info in your post! I've been trying to get it to work too. I have a question about rooting. I've rooted every android phone I've had up to this point and used Cyanogenmod. However, I really love how the Moto G has great support with rom updates and such. So can I root my Moto G without compromising the rom or any of this support?
No one has a Wii controller to test?
Anyone got PS3 working on Moto G via Bluetooth? I haven't tested yet 'cause I will only buy my Moto G tomorrow.

It´s just a few post back that you can pair it with Moto G, you have to root your device though.
I tried to paur it with my wiimote but as I sooon found out the wiimote is no longer supported since jellybean 4.2. Android developers modified the bluetooth stack and it dosn´t work anymore. AFAIK it doesn´t work on Kitkat either.
I would love to root my moto g right away. There are some minor software annoyances that could be easily fixed, but I´m afraid that I´d lose warranty
I just flashed my Moto G 1st gen to Android 5.1 GPE stock last night. Now the gamepad wont link up to my phone. The bluetooth radio is fine because it paired up to my bluetooth speaker without issue. The gamepad also links to my moms Moto G thats still on 4.4.4.
Im checking to see if anyone else has run into this issue with Android L on their phones. My controller is a Game Stop Red Samurai btw.

Has anyone had gamepad issues with lollipop?
