[Moto X Q&A] Bill Idol:
Hey everyone. I never owned a phone where you can't pull the battery but I was wondering how do you a reboot or battery pull on the Moto X?

[Moto X Q&A] tw1tch175:
Holding down the power button on a phone like this usually works and if not power button and down volume is typically a true hard reset. It's not quite as powerful as a battery pull as there is still potential for it to not work but you have to really break it for that to be the case.
[Moto X Q&A] linuxgator:
Hold the power button and down volume buttons at the same time for at least 10 seconds does a simulated battery pull.

[RAZR i General] cormie:
I've been using my Razr i for a while now and so happy with it that I've recommended my friend and dad get one, they have and I've also got a backup one for business. I want to root and set up each one so that they will not need any more maintenance and have all intended features. Is there a ROM based off the original without the bloat ware? This would probably be the safest, most bug free one I guess? If anyone can recommend which to go for if I just want to do the 3 phones up, give them to their owners and never hear back about bugs or issues because the ROM.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Problems I have with my own:

Roaming nag - every time the data conenction drops while roaming, an acceptance/disclaimer screen pops up even though I've ok'd it 10 times already while in the same country that day.

Mass storage device - Miss having the phone show up as a mass storage device.

Space between numbers - I'm not sure if this is a new thing with the newer androids, a dialler issue or what, but the phone is automatically adding gaps between numbers when I try and save. I've a lot of numbers and prefer to keep them all the same formatting, which is, for example, +353871234567, if somebody rings me, sometimes it comes up as +353871234567 which is grand, other times it might come up as 0871234567 so all I used to need to do was delete the 0 and add a +, now when I edit the number, spaces are automatically added and it shows up something like 087 123 4567. This used to only happen with landline numbers and then sometimes if you tried to delete say the space between 3 and 4, it would delete the space AND the 3!

Winamp notification reappearing - I've been using winamp on my desktop for the past 15 years or so and the app is good on android but even after I close the notification bar item, it sometimes still reappears without me going back to winamp or doing anything. Also, it seems winamp stops playing if there's any kind of shock to the phone, for example if I put it down roughly and it bangs the table a little. If I could stop both of these happening it would be great.

So if there's a way to start from scratch with a clean, bug free ROM that fixes these issues and keeps the phone rooted, that would be great! any feedback appreciated!

[RAZR i General] dagoban:
I am still on stock rom and have no issues.

Use twerkmymoto by jcase, install xposed and adjust anything you want.

For mass storage use this one, works for me (4.1.2 EU)

[RAZR i General] cormie:
Thanks a lot for the replies folks.

I ended up sticking with stock rom anyway, but can you link me to this twekmymoto and xposed please? I'm a bit afraid to start installing stuff onto it to edit such things unless I'm sure I have the right file for the phone so would appreciate any app links :)
[RAZR i General] dagoban:
twerkmymoto

Don't forget to thank jcase for it and if you like his work, buy him a beer through his donate button :)

Xposed

click on download and install xposed installer 2.3.1

For modules I recommend using GravityBox and Greenifiy.
[RAZR i General] clickstop:
Definitely try gravitybox, or xblast tools. Great modules!
[RAZR i General] Stanz3k:
Just re-imaged my phone as installing this version of xposed bootloop'ed it.
[RAZR i General] cormie:
Thanks again,might be a bit too afraid to use these tools. I don't even know what a module is and I want to avoid any risk of bootlopps and having to reinstall everything on the phone :o
[RAZR i General] xtr3m3:
You can disable the Xposed framework from recovery if anything goes wrong.

You just have to flash Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip - it will be on the root of sdcard0.
[RAZR i General] Stanz3k:
Problem is I haven't unlocked my bootloader yet so I have no way of flashing this. I installed the older 2.3-beta1 version and it works ok. Really trying to work out how to get rid of the carrier name without unlocking the bootloader though, that's the most irritating for me as it's a really long carrier name. Tried Carrier Name and XBlast Tools.

I've just flashed a new rom and want to flash a different kernel over it. Do I need to do any wipes at all? Or can I just flash straight over it?

[General Questions and Answers] imorohafizjak:
I downloaded a system update after checking online in my HTC one xl settings,the phone shutdown after I clicked 'install update now' before applying the update and during the process the update terminates midway albeit instructed to remove the sd card prior to the process. I didn't understand since the phone doesn't use an external card and for that matter doesn't have any option like ' unmount sd card ' in the phone settings. so please give me ample support as to the perfect way to do this upgrade. sincerely, am not a software genius and that I wouldn't be able to go with a custom ROM.

Did you find it? i really need it to.. :(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] magus57:
I just purchased the LTE version off eBay and I'll be needing a case and screen protector for it.

For the screen protector, I just want the plain 99-cents-for-3-pack type ones - no fancy wet application ones, or ones that give it a rubbery feeling, or that will peel and wear due to how thick they are, etc. And for some reason, I'm having trouble finding them - which is funny because its usually the oppsoite.

For the case, I'd like something that's still compatible with the official charge dock. From what I understand there's an adapter included to make it work with cases, but I still don't want anything bulky - I don't drop my phones, I just need protection from everyday wear. A plain slim snap on case would do - big plus if its legit bamboo/wood on the back (not cheap plastic or skin); nothing that covers the buttons, though, as I like their tactile feel.

Suggestions?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
Ehm... pretentious much? :D

JK man, I guess you'll have to wait a bit more for more options to come when the handset is available worldwide.

In the meantime, you could check cases from PDAir, they seem like real premium ones, leather too.

Anyway, you can find simple screen protectors off eBay for 2/3 bucks for 3, but I went premium even there and bought the Gearmaxxx one off eBay, like 20 bucks for front+back.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] magus57:
To be fair, I think the guy I bought it from is a fraud and doesn't actually have them. Haven't received any communication from him since the 5th, even though I left a note upon purchase. Thank goodness I used Bill Me Later, I'm not actually out of that huge amount of money until I can cancel the transaction (if it comes to that).

And yeah I went ahead and got these two sets of screen protectors, plus this clear case for now:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/121159453538

http://www.ebay.com/itm/121167852672

http://www.ebay.com/itm/121160352193

Figure I'll give it a shot using the matte screen protector and see how I like it, and go clear if I can't take the loss in quality. And I'm considering the Incipio Watson since I do like their folio cases, but I'm not sure how I feel about having it on a phone (only had it on a tablet) and with no kickstand support.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
Can I get some feedback please?

It stands between these two screen protectors

*Benks Magic HR

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SONY-XPER...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item3a83b0fa09

or

Nillkin Crystal Screen Protector

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brand-New...ting_LaptopAccessories_RL&hash=item3f28333559

I'm looking for that glass feeling on the film when I'm using the phone. I had a screen protector like this on my SGS2 but I can't remember the name of the product. I don't want this rubbery feeling or the feeling that there actually is a screen protector there.

Edit: I ordered the *Benks Magic HR

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SONY-XPER...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item3a83b0fa09

Edit again: I missread the title as I was looking for the Magic HSR not the HR

hoping to get a refund and cancel my order
[General Questions and Answers] krisso310:
good day all. I have a maxwest 4000 android phone www .phonearena.com/phones/Maxwest-Android-4000_id8006 - link

the launcher keeps force closing when it boots up.. and when it do boot up, the phone automatically reboots on its own'

when i try to access bootloader by holding (vol. up) and power buttons, it keeps going into a bootloop.. however, when i hold (vol. down) and power button, it has a phone icon with a little yellow triangle (i suppose that means the phone is in fastboot mode)

any help on restoring my phone would be greatly appreciated.....

So since we are unable to use Google wallet, what can we use the NFC for? Preferably without buying any accessories.

Sent from HTC One with Xda app
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
NFC tags, isis (sucks)... Pairing with a music player equipped with NFC... Ummmm that's all I can think of.

As much as I hate to say it, I don't see NFC really taking off in the United States until Apple puts it in the iPhone. Then it will be everywhere. Payments by NFC especially.

:(
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] megaorange1:
Ya. Oh and is it known if Verizon disabled the secure element in the rom or if the Verizon variant just doesn't have one?

Sent from HTC One with Xda app
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
I don't think they disabled it, because isis uses it. I believe, I could be wrong though, that Verizon doesn't allow apps to use the secure element, which is why Google wallet won't work. Or something like that. Someone else more knowledgeable than me can probably explain it better :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] megaorange1:
IIRC Verizon uses a sim with the secure element on it for isis.

Sent from HTC One with Xda app
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
I believe Google wallet needs access to the same. All I know is that isis works essentially the same way as Google wallet. Verizon just wants to push isis so they are effectively blocking Google wallet from working on their phones, however they argue that it's legal because Google wallet needs access to deeper parts of the phone.

I actually wrote to the fcc on the issue and I received a letter in the mail and I uploaded it to Xda and next thing I know my letter was plastered all over android websites and forums a while back. Lol

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] hollywoodfrodo:
There are lots of practical uses for NFC with NFC Tags - the more creative you are the more things you can come up with. For example, I have a tag by my bed that I tap when I go to bed - it changes all my settings for night (lowers volumes and brightness) and opens my alarm app so I can set my alarm. I tap the same tag in the morning to change to my morning settings. Can use them to auto send text message to someone or many other things.

NFC sucks for payments right now because it's all fragmented between many different companies - maybe one day that will change. For now though there are some pretty cool things you can do with NFC Tags (stickers) and NFC Key Chains.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ScottishSwan:
Hey guys,

so i was just playing around on my Ultra and decided to install Nova launcher. Normally i always do this but i have been very happy with Sonys launcher that i have not found a reason to change.

I wanted to play around with skinning some icons and you know, making my device look pretty :P

Anyway,having been using Nova launcher for the last 3 days now my battery life has improved a lot!!

I am getting at least 1 hour extra battery life compared to the Sony launcher and i have not changed any of my usage. If anything, i have more widgets etc running now than i did before.

Today i got 7 hours screen on time, and this was with screen brightness on at least 50% and around 25 hours standby time total.

So yeah, maybe a few of you can try using Nova for a few days and see if you notice the same thing. I am hugely surprised :)

Thanks and have a great day

ps. i am running .475 firmware non rooted.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] golfinggino:
I always run nova launcher prime on all my android devices I just updated to the 510 firmware and rooted I changed a few settings on the governer etc. And will post my battery life tomorrow night when I can have a good chance to run it tomorrow
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] unk_damnation:
Whoa whoa. Can you please specify what is the 7 hours screen time consist of? Maybe some gsam or betterbatterystats statistics?

I'm still running stock launcher on rooted 510. Typical usage is 4 hours screentime, which is 1 hour heavy gaming, 1 hour browsing, a bit of gps, and other light usage. The rest is standby with total time of 9-15 hours, depending on signal strength.

The screen is one damn power sucker.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bASKOU:
How long did you use your phone before switching to Nova? Cause there is a battery improvement after about 10 cycle of charge.

Not that I say you wrong. It really plausible to have slightest battery life improvement with Nova as the launcher do not use Xperia framework. But Xperia framework look kinda lite so not so much battery consuming. Would be glad to see a screen of detailed battery usage.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hagalah:
Ok, I tested the Nova launcher today. I did feel that have much better battery life than the stock launcher. Give me about 1-2 hours screen on time more. Good.

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bASKOU:
Damn I guess I'll do nova prime ^^
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] liqn7:
Lol...1 hr of heavy gaming kills most phones... You'll also probably get 5-7 hours if you didn't do this.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Blacklighter11:
I was on nova for a few days. Didn't notice any difference.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] azharisadig:
I used nova launcher for experience since i read this post.. the result is in attached capture.. still have 43% of battery
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ScottishSwan:
Would you say you are happy with Nova launcher then?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ScottishSwan:
Amazing what a different launcher can do right? :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] golfinggino:
i got 7.5 hours screen on time yesterday and i was using the phone alot - i was on wifi almost the entire day - i personally dont believe that nova will get you much better battery life there are alot of other things involved in battery life besides the launcher - i always use nova as i just prefer it, i was not on wifi as much today and i have alot less screen on time - currently at 10 % battery remaining with 4 hours and 45 minutes screen on time - which is acceptable to me - it wont make it through the day but i can live with that - i will probably buy the battery case even though it is expensive as i use the phone alot and like to make it through a day without worrying - which was no problem at all with my note 2 with the 9300 mah zerolemon extended battery but cant go back to the note 2 after using this phone for a few days !!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] azharisadig:
I just follow your post to see if there is any battery improvement when using nova.. Still now i think there is improvement, but not sure if that due to nova. I always thing that it is best to use the stock launcher, i am not a fan of custom ones....
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bASKOU:
Nova change nothing. Only thing that change is that the battery need time to reach its full capacity. I can see improvements on the battery since I bought it. Usually need to be serious on battery charge for about a week after buying your phone, and you'll see that the battery life improved. This is not about Android battery calibration but about the battery itself.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ScottishSwan:
No offense, but i have owned my Z Ultra for 5 weeks now.

Nova launcher improved the battery. That is a fact. This is not my first phone, i know how batteries etc work but thanks ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hagalah:
Nova has significant improvememt especially in launcher screen on mode. For internet browsing mode, it's better too.

But if you are a heavy gamer, then you won't feel much difference on it.

Nova will reflash the widget correctly. But the stock launcher has problems to reflash the widgets when rotating the screen. You can tell easily that the stock launcher is not fine tuned and that may be the reason for the worse battery performace.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] unknown364:
nova

all other functions work ok under nova? like using pen etc.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Yes.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] eddiep200:
The nova launcher cant make your battery last longer, I dont see how anyway its just a launcher. Ill say it is a cool launcher but your better off trying to get a battery saving app to get more battery life and if that doesnt work you need a new battery. All smartphones use lithium ion batteries which naturally degrade and charge less from the day there first used.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hagalah:
Just like other bad programing app, a launcher will affect the battery life for sure. How it manage widgets and how it reflash the screen all will reduce or improve your battery life. If you ever used Go launcher before, you will understand what I meant.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Sure it can. A launcher is constantly running, so if Sony ****ed up some code along the way, you'll notice it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jayty97:
I really don't think there is anything wrong with the Sony launcher. My Ultra is 100% stock. Yesterday I left the house at 5.00am when I unplugged the device and returned home about 7:30pm. I listened to music over bluetooth for about 8 hours of that time, made and received some calls (5-6, 5-10 minute calls), checked and answered emails and did about 20 minutes of web browsing while waiting for my lunch and then a few times throughout the day. I have 8 email accounts and sync 2 of them every 15 minutes and the others every hour. I am connected to wifi most of the time and am in a moderately good service area. When I returned home last night, I had 65% battery remaining, far exceeding any smartphone I have ever owned. This is also better than I was getting with the phone when I first got it. A few charge cycles and the battery is much better. I think the key to my results is that I am not big into social networking. I have a suspicion that is where most people are seeing poor battery life issues. The constant real time updates eat the hell out of a battery. Set the syncing to a 30 minute interval and battery life will improve.. Surely you can wait 30 minutes to know that Sheryl ate a ham sandwich on rye and it was fantatic.....:)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
Well I do use social networks a lot along with syncing apps :D three twitter accounts, instagram, tapatalk with two forums, klart.se a swedish weather app and weather pro, ebay , tradera (swedish version of ebay), tv.nu (tv guide), true caller, snapchat, kakaotalk, kik, dropbox, google drive, dolphin webbrowser for checking buses live timetables, my calendar is updated with all my tasks and meetings so it beeps and syncs 10+ times a day, tunein radio pro, box, currency, bluetooth audio stream with Player Pro all day long..

Im not saying Im using Nova launcher, but I prefer Apex Pro. And yes in this case, using a launcher like this makes a huge difference in battery life in a day in my little HTC One X with a tiny 1800mAh battery running CM10.2. I just hope the battery last a day when I receive the Z U. It might not perhaps perform very good on stock rom but when custom roms and kernels start to roll out I think there's gonna be a difference in terms of speed and batterylife.
