No, that's fair enough. If I can get something to work without spending an evening fucking about with it, I'm all over it.
That's why I look for phones that are vanilla android without any shit added to them in the first place, which I thought Moto were doing but maybe there's a specific model to look for?
I was thinking about a hardened one for using on the bike.

Fuck knows. I'm no expert - I just want stuff to work. Was super happy with my n5 for 2 years until I bent it around the shape of my arse in a cab on christmas eve. It just worked.
Case in point - the Moto doesn't seem to be able to decide which camera or photo app it likes or doesn't. No matter what I do with permissions or settings, the Moto camera app overrides everything (as does the gallery one) and then doesn't even work. To top it all the native android apps for both just crash all the time and I am completely unable to move picture storage to the micro SD.
I know everyone will say 'root it' etc.. but I'm not that kind of user. I just want it to bloody work without having to get under the bonnet.
