This is not accurate.
Only Steps Mania & Accupedo come close to be correct.
But they are not the best.

Hi guys . I recently bought XOLO Q700. It has been only 15 days or so. the problem I am having is that for past 2 days my phone kinda self restarting itself. about 5 or 6 times it has happened, out of them 4 times it has happened when I opened the drop down option ( the part that shows battery, time etc) and all that happened after started I trying different launchers. Currently I am using Go Launcher, also have Apex launcher installed. Is it a software problem or hardware ?

 

[axes2t2]

Go launcher used to be good,now it is just bloated.

Just use Apex or Nova launcher.

Guys any idea how can I move contacts from S2 to Z1.

there is an app called Rainbow contacts...I used it to transfer contacts to Xperia


Is Nexus 7 (2013) worth buying tablet? and are the various issues fixed in it?

Ok it's like this I can't put my SIM back into S2 since it's cut. So now how can I move the contacts stored in my S2 to Sony Z1?

1. Use this to backup
*play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idea.backup.smscontacts

2. transfer the backup file to Z1

3. then restore using the same app

simple solution will be....
in s2 go to contacts --> import/export. --> export to SD --> locate file on SD(usually you will find it in root of SD with .vcf extension--> send it to Z1 with bluetooth or anything else(try software data cable ) --> click on file it will prompt you for restoring contact

see whether it works

or google cloud contact sync is best option...(same google accoumt in Z1 and then sync)

Food for thought:
If Google bought Motorola in July 2011, then why are the new Nexus (N4: 2012, N7: 2012 and N5: 2013) are being made by LG or Asus? Why not Motorola itself?

apart from what ankush said, Motorola is already running into quarterly loss. Now if they sell Nexus i.e. kind of no profit, Motorola will sink to the bottom.

yes this is too a big reason

 

[moniker]

Just a curious question, why do LG, ASUS etc agree to manufacture nexus devices if they aren't going to make much profit off them?

One reaason I feel is,IIRC Google once said they are scared of samsung's growth,And it's really good that nexus phones are not made by samsung?Why?Cause then nexus would have that crap exynoxs cpu's = 0-10% Development.
Nexus 10 has the most pathetic development compared to all other nexus

True but in the past they used to be good as look at Nexus S which also has a exynos CPU but epic dev support and thanks to it even my Galaxy S has epic dev support

Google nexus 5 official pricing revealed.
It's a bit on higher side though but at least play store selling mobile hardware seems positive for future releases.

[Mr.Kickass]

Google and many others are literally pushing users to cloud. Don't know what's the problem including an expansion card slot
