Does anyone have issues with videos and orientation? I don't notice it quite as much as my wife as she takes a lot more, but I have seen at least one video I've taken recently that saved improperly. Hers are all over the place...at first I was going to blame her allergy to technology, but it does appear to be the phone that's doing the weirdness (I've watched her take a video, holding the phone with the lens to the left; in her gallery, the video may be oriented portrait, sideways, even upside down).

At first I wanted to blame auto-upload, but the videos in the camera gallery itself seem to prove the phone is just saving them incorrectly. I've no idea why this is...more frustrating is the fact that many of these videos can't be fixed (there's no re-orienting a video as far as I can tell; granted I haven't looked too hard). For background, my X is on Verizon and my wife's is with +Republic Wireless. Both phones are as fully up to date as can be.

I'm not a programmer by any means, but holy crap is this diatribe hilarious.

Seems like G+ spam is on the rise...

My new profile that is shared very little (to my knowledge) in the few days I've been using it has been added to many a suspect account over the last few days. I report most of these and block with abandon (as usual) but it seems a strange occurrence that I rarely saw with my old profile (somewhere along the line my original profile was shared in an Android circle that many people added, so I was used to seeing a fair amount of circling activity; and yes, some that was spammy too).

Lots of junk comments I've seen and reported too lately, especially on heavily followed accounts like +Android and +Google Play. Certainly some spam is the norm and we peons must fight with the tools we are given, but it seems uncharacteristically higher lately.

True or false?

Using Hangouts as your default SMS app results in having a certain subset of sounds for a Hangouts message vs. SMS message (and they are not the same choices).

I'm boggled that using the stock charger plug with a random USB cable makes the Moto X charge much more slowly than with both the stock charger/cable combo. I can understand the charger being necessary, but the cable?? Is this just a coincidence and I have a lousy cable? So far I've tried both of the ports in the stock charger and the result seems to be about the same.

YES. Make DVDs obsolete more faster...pretty easy to queue this up on a Chromecast. Now just let me buy a streaming copy of these movies, George!
