9. Which one of the android GPU best for gaming? Is it PowerVR SGX544 MP or Adreno 320? I hope Adreno 320 the best 🙂

10. review the coolpad F1 <3

11. what is Snapdragon ?

12. Is there any Android APP which can monitor your battery charge, and limit it to when it reaches 80%-90% or so? [to enhance battery life?]

13. I believe Google sold Motorola to Lenovo because if Google produced higher end Android Smartphones via Motorola and sold it for a higher price tag [unlike the Moto X or the Moto G], they won't simply sell well. And Google maybe was not interested in spending a lot of money in building lower end handsets and selling them.

    Whereas Lenovo is not quite popular in the Smartphones market, and a brand like Motorola would help them boost their sales.

14. Hey Jayce, which is the best Locker launcher/theme for android especially for the Xperia Z1. I want one with app shortcuts and widgets. Once tried the Start Launcher, any other you suggest? Thanks…

15. Hi Android Authority,

    I'm hoping you could help me out. I am deliberating on purchase of a knew phone, after having dropped my Sony xperia active, that has now lost all connection to the memory card and  has a decreased battery life. I want something fairly durable, as I dropped it a couple of times outside, an quite a few times inside. I was thinking that maybe I would get a bigger one, so as to not have to buy a tablet. Or do you recommend buying a smaller and more durable phone and a tablet for overall increased lifespan? I don't have too much of a limit on price if it can mach acordingly in lifespan, at least 2 years, preferebly 3-4. I Mostly watch videos as the app feature or on a tablet write documents, and therefore I value god battery life. Hoping that you can help me solve trough the maze, thank you.

16. @Jayce Broda I have downloaded cyannogenmod onto my galaxy s4 and I want to go back to stock touchwiz, how can I do this?

17. google sold motorola so that they can focus on developing android OS without making other companies think that they are bias and to prevent samsung going over about creating their own UI…… and maybe that could be they reason why they will also stop developing nexus…

18. to get a loss 

19. Can I replace my battery type on my nexus 5?

20. when will d update for s4's i9500 will come,, and what r d major changes?? help.. 🙂

21. Answer to the Q&A: They kept a lot of Motorola patents, which they now already used in a big patent deal with Samsung. This is all part of a rather long term strategy, not the short term "buy a company and suck money out of it" strategy to protect google for future patent lawsuits against competitors.
    Since I´m not a native speaker this week I hope you will bear with my english articulation skills, which is only fair cause you ruled us out last time when German native speakers were not picked unfair for winners. 

22. Man was just about to order a moto x but now I'm having second thoughts
