Hey would anyone know a way/service where I can get a Maxx Dev into Australia. I've got a normal Maxx via eBay but I've never seen a Dev edition there.
[Droid Ultra General] Jaocagomez:
i think its easier to unlock your normal maxx when you can, you still get everything as a it was dev edition.

check the general thread for more info
[Droid Ultra General] dxl880517:
Yes, a Chinese guy gives me the unlock code, I dont know how he get it and he didn't let me tell others...
[Droid Ultra General] sp47:
He has a friend in Motorola US.

And his friend generated him codes due to ours IMEI's

Sorry if it's been answered but do moto x kernels work on maxx unlocked/dev edition?
[Droid Ultra General] drewwegand:
There is an xda thread about buying an unlock code from a guy through eBay. I can confirm it works. I paid 1.99 on eBay to a middleman then $40 via Google wallet and sends a seller in China the $40 with your imei info. And 48 hrs later you receive a unlock code.
[Droid Ultra General] pyro2677:
Yeah mate, I've got the non Dev with Bootloader unlocked so you don't need a Dev Edition. Just sux we never got these phones over here because they are the best phone.

[Droid Ultra General] mcadambc:
Likely eventually, but who knows when
[Droid Ultra General] rekids:
This may have been answered already but I have not found it, but ...

Will KK 4.4 or 4.4.2 and most 4.4 Roms able to run without issues on the boot loader, gpt, and other noon down gradable partitions of the older 4.2.2 parts?

Don't want to upgrade those parts if I don't need to. I know you need an unlocked boot loader for down grade, just wondering what parts are required to update to run newer version software is all.

Thanks

Your going to want to install a custom recovery just to be safe and back up your system this way if you run into any issues you can easily revert back without headaches or hours of research. I recommend unlock bootloader install TWRP and then the sky's the limit for easy flashing and modding

Yup... Same here... I went to the secondary market too get one due to them always being out... But at least I saved $200+ bucks.

I wonder how many more they will sell with a BL unlock out there LOL
[Droid Ultra General] Sumanji:
Hey,

Is it worth getting this phone right now?

I currently have an unlocked XT925 RAZR HD, but have the upgrade itch...

650 notes is a lot, when the new HTC One M8 DE is the same price...

Cheers,

Su
[Droid Ultra General] br0adband:
But the HTC One M8 DE can't do the same things the MAXX can, obviously. Tough call I suppose, you'd need to do a pros/cons list and figure out which one has the most stuff you care about more than anything else since you already know they're priced the same.
[Droid Ultra General] Sumanji:
The main draw for me is the *massive* battery! 3500mAh is insane.

I would probably end up running CM11 on it, so I guess the other features (active display etc.) are a bit moot... my main concern is that the CPU/GPU won't be anywhere near as punchy as newer devices - especially if I am expecting it to be solid for another 12-18 months.

Maybe better waiting till August for the successor?

[edit] I actually don't know about the regular non-DE Droid Ultra/Maxx - is there a bootloader unlock method for them? If so, is there any point to the DE?
[Droid Ultra General] BladeRunner:
you can purchase an unlock code for a non-dev edition. Costs ~$40. Not 100% guaranteed they'll have an unlock code for your device but I haven't seen many that didn't get unlocked.
[Droid Ultra General] coronanlime:
Upgrade to 4.4

How do you upgrade to 4.4 while keeping it able to downgrade to 4.2.2?

I have been using my DE 4.2.2 for sometime, but feeling an itch to go to 4.4. Main thing that I think I will lose is tethering. Do you keep it simply through XPosed, or is there another way to keep it?

Last, is upgrading while keeping old boot image affect it in any way?
[Droid Ultra General] Sumanji:
Ah, that would be great. I saw an old Droid Life post that showed the Droid Maxx on Verizon for $450, but seems like it is back to $650 now :(

D'oh!!
[Droid Ultra General] kitcostantino:
Well, a few things. I received my XT1080M DEV on Friday. the manufactured date is 3.20.2014. it came loaded with 12.7.7 and bootloader 30.70, if anyone is interested. I installed TWRP 2.6.3.0 via fastboot. i have (twice now) made a backup of stock, flashed liquidsmooth kk, and soft-bricked after trying to restore the stock backup. My soft-brick was the bootlosder unlock warning screen. holding power+vol down+home let power down so i could boot into the bootloader, (power + down after power off), and restore my liquidsmooth kk backup. the first time, i fxz'd 12.7.7 because fastboot on my machine (xpsp3) didnt work to flash nwkent's modded fxz (you are an asset, friend) due to not being set up right. i accidentally wiped data in twrp after that so i had nothing to lose by using that full fxz from sbfdroid-developers.org. i resolved that with a clean install.

the next time, i repeated the process, but managed to not wipe my internal sd. after realizing speakerphone didnt work, and audio out didnt work without a usb cable plugged in to the micro usb port (regardless of if it had power on the standard usb end) on LS KK, i decided to go back to stock. i wiped data, cache, and dalvik. restored my stock backup, then got the "Install Super SU now?" dialogue. thinking it was odd, i did it anyway. Once again, I ended up soft-bricking in exactly the same way. This time, however, i was able to boot back into the bootloader, boot into recovery, and restore my iquidsmooth backup. (which i am on now).

I have a few theories on why, but not too many on how to pull this off. i prefer to not upgrade to KK for now. As far as why, my theories are:

1) i didnt wipe dalvik/cache after restoring and the kernel is likely different. Does that screw something up?

2) somehow something isnt getting wiped. boot perhaps, because on this version of TWRP (unlike the Rezound) you cannot wipe boot direcctly.

3) my backup, for whatever reason, is bad.

Honestly, i am likely going to fxz the whole thing again, because in LS KK, i also have issues connecting to a computer and transferring files to/from the phone on mac, xp, and win7. my backups are pretty much pointless at this juncture, considering they are stuck, so-to-speak.

Any light shed on this is much appreciated. nwkent, I really appreciate the help so far, but I didn't want to keep blowing up your PM's. Thank you all!

EDIT: kind-of a PSA, though it was not originally clear reading this thread and many, many others, my capacitive buttons work on carbonite and liquidsmooth kk. i thought they were replaced by the navigation bar, but so far, so good. also, for anyone put off by no menu button, but otherwise considering this phone, on all stock, carbonite, and liquidsmooth kk,, probably more, the recents button can be switched to menu (short press) and recents (long press). you are welcome for the advertisement, Moto. ;)
[Droid Ultra General] stonesaber:
I've had the same problem once using twrp on my Moto x, but not on my Maxx. I switched to Phil's cm based recovery and haven't had an issue since. Gummy also has their own cm based recovery that works quite well.
[Droid Ultra General] kitcostantino:
delete
[Droid Ultra General] kitcostantino:
Okay. I downloaded the 12.7.7 fxz and couldn't get rsd lite to work. (6.15 and newest moto device manager). Every time I tried I got a "get var" error as it said unrecognized command. I opened the .xml file with notepad+ and after deleting get var line it worked. I also swapped the recovery.img and the md5 with those of hashcode's TWRP 2.3.1 . I left the lines that delete data. after I was done, I zipped it in 7zip. And.... I uploaded it just in case someone needs 12.7.7 with that mod. (not my idea. the first time I heard of such SamauriHL was doing it in the HOB and more recently, nwkent has done an awesome job for us moto8960dt owners, (www.waynekent.com/page6) You are awesome, friend. ) Can I guarantee my modified fxz will work for others? no. I am not a dev, just a slightly above average user. I nor any one else am responsible if you do anything with this and have negative results...BUT for *testing/experimentation/last resort's purposes, it is here:

[Droid Ultra General] hectorcde:
Hi Guys, i have recently purchased a Motorola Droid Maxx XT1080 Developer Edition. I'm just having some doubts and one issue.

I am from Paraguay, South American.

These are my software details:

- Sistem Version: 19.5.3.obake-maxx_verizon.Verizon.en.US

- Model Number: DROID MAXX

- Android Version: 4.4

- Baseband Version: MSM8960PRO_BP_2323.026.100

- Kernel Version: 3.4.42-gfae57e0 hudsoncm@ilclbld26 #1

- Build Number: SU2-3

I have these Questions:

1- how coul i know if this is have the 3.500 mAh battery?

2- What roms are available for this one?

3- Is there any improved modded camera for it?

I have one Issue:

My phone signal is so weak, i dont know why, with the same carrier i'm having full signal at others phones, like HTC ONE, S4, BLACKBERRY Q5, and others.

But with the Droid Maxx i just get 3 bars of signal.

Im from South American as i have mentioned before, but at phone specs ****, says that it support the bands from here.

Bands 850/1900/2100

I get H+ here without problem and internet works, anyway, the signal is poor. And is not my carrier issue.

I'm having "Claro Paraguay" carrier.

So my question is:

Is there a way to change the baseband or the radio to be able to get more signal here?

thanks a lot.
[Droid Ultra General] doogald:
Every Droid Maxx has the 3500 mAh battery. If you have a Maxx, you have the battery.

I can't help you with signal or a new radio. The phone is meant to be used on CDMA networks for voice - it a Verizon exclusive phone and the GSM bands are there to enable Verizon customers in the US to use the phone while traveling internationally. I'm willing to guess that Verizon isn't all that concerned about tuning the radio well for GSM.

That said, signal bars don't always mean anything. Go to settings / about phone / status / network type & strength. This will show you the actual signal in dBm for each connected network. Generally anything better than -90 should be good for voice. (Better means less negative, so -80 is better than -90). Between -90 and -100 you may get break ups, but it should still work ok. Anything worse than -100 is a bad signal.
[Droid Ultra General] hectorcde:
Thanks for the fast answer mate, well as i supossed maybe signal bars does not means everything as you say. About the signal in dBm mine goes from GSM -93 to -99, -100. UMTS -93 to -97 dBm.

Is there any mod to change the signal icon?

Maybe with xposed ?

And what about the Google Play Service problem with battery from kitkat.

It affects the Maxx?

Because i've found at the forum a possible solution for that using xposed and wake lock terminator, filtering the process.

That should improve battery even better on the Maxx?or it doesn't get affected by that problem.
[Droid Ultra General] Jaocagomez:
Mira lo de la señal si se puede mejorar, quitale el modo global en redes moviles y le pones LTE/GSM/UMTS despues de eso le pones red preferida, y le pones la UMTS si no ves mejoria lo quitas y lo pones en automatico, aunque a mi me funciona mejor en modo umts.

Todos los droid maxx tienen baterias de 3500

y si es afectado por el problema este de la camara, pero nadie sabe realmente cuanto afecta la bateria, no pierdes nada en intentar.

saludos

---

you can improve gsm signal changing the preferred mode to LTE/GSM/UMTS then changing the network to only use UMTS, i got better signal that way, if that didnt improve anything, instead of umts select automatic.

all droid maxx have 3500 mah of battery

the camera problem affects our phone but i dont know how much battery it drains.
[Droid Ultra General] hectorcde:
Well thanks for your answer. I did all those adjustments. But anyway the signal strength is the same. Well the problem is really the battery. For me the battery drains so fast. I have fixed brightness to 30%. WhatsApp, Facebook, Tapatalk, and one Gmail account sincronized. I actually have 68% battery with just 5.4 hours of usage and 1.4 hours of screen. That is a huge drain. For such a big battery. With the G2 I had better battery backup.

Could be for the location sevice problem? Camera drain. I don't know

Has anyone attempted AT&T with the XT1080M.? I do understand that AT&T is GSM..but I have a GSM T-Mobile simm installed and works fine..

I have no real clue about all the frequencies jazz..so I must ask.. :)

EDIT: Nevermind, I found the answer to my question in post #80..Thank you sir for the BTW..the answer is Yes..Maxx and AT&T are compatable..WooHoo..

[Droid Ultra General] NWKENT:
T-Mobile's GSM Simm works fine in my Droid Maxx and Moto X, your suggestions worked great..with no problems..messaging and calls work fine..But I'm looking at AT&T for better data service..in my area..T-Mobile GSM at best is 89dbm with the data indicator an E with test results at download = 0.06 and upload at 0.05..sometimes 85dbm..but an average would probably be 93 or so..(sad but true)..calls are pretty good..but I need better data for tethering..I'm hoping AT&T will be better..so I will probably try AT&T this week..

I have run the T-Mobile Simm in all three of my Maxx's and my Moto X..with same results..all my devices..and tried all the settings you mentioned..THANKS for your help..

[Droid Ultra General] choza321:
Is there any way to add the navigation buttons (back, home, etc) to the screen, rather than using the capacitive touch buttons at the bottom? I'm guessing I could flash a different ROM perhaps? I dropped my phone the other day and those buttons stopped working, and I don't really want to buy a new one.
[Droid Ultra General] Jumnhy:
This isn't a comprehensive solution, but there are a number of workarounds which use the Accessibility features of the phone to spoof the inputs of the capacitive buttons. It's a little button that snaps to an edge on your phone, you click it, it opens up with buttons that would correspond to the traditional capacitive or on-screen buttons. Not as elegant, but after I broke my screen a while back and my back button stopped working, it saved me. I use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smart.swkey.nonroot and find it really convenient, although there are lots of alternatives.

Apologies if you already knew of this sort of thing and were hoping for help taking it to the next level. Best of luck!
[Droid Ultra General] choza321:
Thanks! Works like a charm (though I still wish I hadn't dropped my phone).
[Droid Ultra General] Jumnhy:
Ugh, yeah, I know that feeling. It's still a pain in the butt not to have convenient access to the buttons. In any case, glad to have helped!

I messed up and took the 4.4 update on my "dev" edition maxx and I want to go back to 12.15.15 for various reasons. I'm not familiar with Motorola phones, fxz's, or rsdlite. I have read post after post but couldn't find anything about doing a full downgrade. I was wondering first if it is even possible and second how do I flash this thing back to factory 12.15.15.

Any help/guidance is appreciated.

Friend..if you do not find the fix here..I can work up a custom FXZ for you with TWRP preinstalled..and you would flash it using RSDLite..but I won't have time till tomorrow.. which would be Wed. 28th..if I can help..PM

I do find that I do not like the way one must have all "location" settings ON when using or NOT using GPS..Looking forward to a maybe 4.4.2 update with MicroSD card support as the Moto X is..maybe then I will use this device more..

This is the GPS screen I speak of..I'd prefer individual switch's..

So are you saying that I can't use the stock files? I had heard that if you downgrade some things don't work like the stock recovery. Does anyone know what kind of issue I could run into with downgrading to 12.15.15?

Thanks
[Droid Ultra General] NWKENT:
If you have a DEV or Unlocked model, you will/should not have any problems..I've done it multiple times, on multiple devices..you just must have the correct FXZ to flash..once on KK..one cannot downgrade/revert back with the stock JB 4.2.2_12.15.15 file..because certain files cannot be overwritten once on KK..but with the proper FXZ..then its possible..and one can use RSDLite or adb to flash the FXZ..I have successfully downgrade/revert back to 4.2.2_12.15.15 (from) 4.4_19.5.3 and the newest 4.4_19.6.3 with the FXZ I created..with absolutely NO problems..and used RSDLite to do so..

The performance has been great. Like is was before, everything just works. Regarding the battery this is with 5 and a half hours of screen on time.

I still don't think it was a good as before but a lot better than what it was. Gonna play with clocking the CPU down and maybe a different governor to get some more life out of it.

All and all, couldn't be happier. Thanks for the help!
