no they really are not. mine also rarely goes into car mode. sometimes i get car mode and then it immediately goes into daydream. and then both turn off. but i also think its a coding issue on motos side. cause when docked on the coffee table. if you use the phone and dont redock it... daydream does not come back.

its more along the lines of this reply here. i saw a nexus otg thread somewheres and it was mentioned that the diode or resistor that you use will also put the phone into car mode. or if you put it on a different wire etc. something along those lines.
[Moto X Accessories] je2345:
Yes the car dock isn't too impressive. Mine broke after 4 days! Now I have to wait for more to get back in stock to get a replacement. I also had occasional issue of not charging and having to wiggle charging port
[Moto X Accessories] Jimmy2u:
car dock for MOTO X

I have also ordered one and probably will get it by tomorrow....hoping for the best to get and will also put up the pics and review after receiving it...because I m confused a bit over the reviews of it as some people says its quite impressive one and some says its not...so I will personally put review of it after experiencing this dock on my phone....
[Moto X Accessories] murso74:
Haven't seen one person say the car dock was impressive. Best I've seen people say is that it's a dock
[Moto X Accessories] ericizzy1:
i love the dock, use both hands to put the moto x in there and to pull it our carefully, but loving it !!!
[Moto X Accessories] Wade-0:
Can't find these anywhere now. I wonder if they are revising the design because of all the problems?
[Moto X Accessories] walther1:
This week my dock stopped working to charge my phone. I have only had it since the end of September. I contacted Griffin support (I bought it directly from their site) and at first they said they would send me a replacement. Now, I got an email back stating they are no longer making them and have no back stock left so they want to give me credit for their site...

It would seem that in the past couple days we have run completely our of those docks that we had set back for replacement. The product is discontinued at this point and as far as I've been told we won't be making anymore. This doesn't bode well for getting a replacement but if you would like I can set you up with a store credit for the amount of that dock and you could use it to purchase whatever item you desired. Once again I apologize about running out. I knew we were low when we spoke the other day but I didn't think they would be gone so quickly. Let me know if you would like the store credit and I will get that set up for you.

So, now the question is is any other company going to be making docks for this phone or are we stuck using some "universal" dock that will be a sub par fit and be just as (or more) likely to break.

[Moto X Accessories] tgerbracht:
Lol, discontinuing production after three months= junk. The docks suck.
[Moto X Accessories] Wade-0:
Well that just plain sucks. The availability of a vehicle dock was a HUGE criteria for me dropping my Galaxy Nexus for this phone. The HTC One has a pretty nice dock, and now I'm wondering if I should have gone that route. If only it didn't have those damn buttons...
[Moto X Accessories] T-Keith:
I bought a RAM mount for my car. It's universal and works very well for the moto X. It's easier to take out then most docks too.
[Moto X Accessories] johnny grep:
Motorola needs to make an OEM dock. Their previous docks were pretty good - why they asked Griffin to make one is beyond me.

Sent from my Moto X
[Moto X Accessories] Dark9781:
The thing I really hate about this is that Moto finally has it on sale and they have been out of stock for over a month.
[Moto X Accessories] laydros:
I bought one from the Motorola site a few weeks ago. It holds the phone, isn't flimsy, but it puts the car into car mode about 1 out of 4 times. Also it is strange that there is a docked car mode that turns on daydream, and it is separate from the Moto Assist car mode that reads out texts.

I thought the quality was good, maybe not $40 good. I like having one less cable to plug in (I have only had universal docks since my OG Evo dock.)
[Moto X Accessories] NCX Designs:
There is a very simple way to get car mode to work every time, I use it and never have any problems doing this.

When I put it in the dock it doesn't go into car mode until I slightly twist it upwards while its in the dock. then it goes into dock mode every time I do this.

The dock works as advertised though, but I wish they had a camera hole cutout... :/
[Moto X Accessories] doswizard:
Well, it isn't pretty, but I used a drill press and a 1" spade bit and made my own camera cutout. Touched it up with a bit of black spray paint and while not quite "good as new" it gets the job done and doesn't seem to have affected the structural integrity of the dock.
[Moto X Accessories] Wade-0:
Thought I'd post an update on this thread. I saw these popped back up on the Griffin site after being removed for a while, but they only show "coming soon" for the status. They have been completely removed from the Moto store. I sent them an email asking if these would be available soon, and if the design had been revised, and this is the response I got:
[Moto X Accessories] Jon C:
What a turd.

Thanks for the updates, guys. It looks like Griffin makes some really shoddy accessories (still). What a shame that Motorola didn't put some design chops behind docks for this phone. Their hardware has always been solid, and I imagine they could've come up with something quite nice.

Man, I'm so bummed out. I came from a Galaxy Nexus, which had the best docks I've ever owned for a phone. It was really nice, being able to pop my phone into the car dock, and have everything else automated by simply detecting the dock.

I certainly hope another company will design something decent , but I'm not optimistic.
[Moto X Accessories] Wade-0:
Same here. It was a pretty big requirement in my selection criteria, and on paper Motorola had nailed it.
[Moto X Accessories] T-Keith:
You must not have had the Verizon galaxy Nexus, it had virtually no docks available. Why not get a universal dock like the ram mount and use a nfc sticker to activate things? The moto x already does a good job of detecting driving too.
[Moto X Accessories] Wade-0:
I actually modded the GSM charging dock, after ordering it from the UK before they were available in the US, and it worked great with my Verizon Nexus.
[Moto X Accessories] laur3n.newm4n:
That's exactly what I wound up doing. I'm not so worried about the battery life while I'm just using bluetooth on the way to and from work, so integrated charging isn't that big of a deal.
[Moto X Accessories] Wade-0:
So I randomly checked the site for these again, and they were magically back in stock, so I said what the hell and ordered one. I got the ship notification yesterday! Can't wait to see if they changed anything to resolve the issues people were having with the last batch. Crossing my fingers, will post an update when I get it installed.
[Moto X Accessories] moosetender8:
Griffin is nice but I prefer iOttie

Got mine yesterday and I dont like it. See my other post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49694155&postcount=38
[Moto X Accessories] Wade-0:
That's too bad. I played around with mine for a while in the house and it seems really solid. It inserted easily (compared to my Galaxy Nexus dock), and the car mode activated every time - even with my case on. I didn't get a chance to mount it in the car yet though, because I had a couple new car seats to install and that took priority last night.

One thing that surprised me about the car mode on this phone is that the Home button returns you to the Car Home app every time. That never worked for me with my Nexus on 4.3.

Also, for anyone worried about the USB connector in the dock stressing out the port on the phone, it's actually flexible. It doesn't have a ton of movement, but it flexes about 10-15 degrees.
[Moto X Accessories] mavericktc:
Got mine today, got a few questions though.

1; According to the manual for the dock there should be some kind of "installation process". I can't find any settings for the car mode what so ever on my device.

2; My phone displays that the car mode is enabled (top left corner) but no app or likewise is turning on?

3; How do I get it to speak out the sms?
[Moto X Accessories] lucky13:
There is no dedicated car app, do a search in Google play, install one from there. It will launch when it's docked.

Under the Assist app is the place where you enable the spoken SMS function.
[Moto X Accessories] Wade-0:
Suggest installing a Car Home app/launcher, like this:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=spinninghead.carhome&hl=en

For reading SMS, I just enabled it in Assist and I can listen and reply to my messages without touching the phone.
[Moto X Accessories] mavericktc:
Thanks, downloaded the app.

As I'm not always using gps while driving (only while navigating) assist doesn't really work.

Maybe I could do a task to enable gps when BT is connected though.....
[Moto X Accessories] Wade-0:
Assist can use BT too. Fires up on mine as soon as it connects to the car, not even moving yet.
[Moto X Accessories] mavericktc:
I can't find that option at all!

When I check the "talk to me" it just says that I need to enable GPS in order for it to work.

Under settings I have the "associate bluetooth devices" which is checked but I can't choose anything.

As for the tasker thing in my previous post I'm not allowed to make a task like;

car mode on -> GPS on

Google have disabled the function to control the gps, wtf. Need to root first:mad:
[Moto X Accessories] Wade-0:
Moto Assist doesn't let you specify the bluetooth device specifically, it "learns" which one is your car based on presence when it's moving (using the GPS setting). The Car Home Ultra can automatically pop the GPS menu for you when docked (also can enable dock mode based on BT devices), but really, why not just leave GPS on? It's not really that big of a hit on battery.
[Moto X Accessories] mavericktc:
The battery issue is the only reason why I wont have it enabled all the time.

My battery life is worthless as it is (last cycle gave me 24h of standby and 1h 49m SOT).
[Moto X Accessories] Wade-0:
Disabling GPS to save battery is really just a myth. Google it. Having it enabled is not the same as turning it on. It just allows apps to use the GPS when needed. If you aren't using an app (or have a background service running) that needs GPS, it does nothing. I spent plenty of time testing this with past devices (especially my GNex since I needed every last bit of battery on it) and came to the conclusion that the net effect of leaving GPS enabled is NIL, and not worth the hassle of micromanaging it. I never disable it on my Moto X and I easily get a full day out of it and around 3.5 hours screen time on average. With low usage I've gotten almost 2 days on a charge.
[Moto X Accessories] mavericktc:
That's the problem eh, bad written apps?

I seem to have a problem with wakelocks as the screen sometimes doesn't go to sleep. The problem is that I need to root in order to see what's the problem.

I'll give GPS on a try!
[Moto X Accessories] Wade-0:
This may sound stupid, but check your screen timeout setting. Mine started doing the same thing, and when I checked the timeout setting, instead of being set to 30s it was blank.
[Moto X Accessories] mavericktc:
Thanks for the tip but it's set on 1 minute. :)

Do you know any car home app which doesn't use the gps?

The one I downloaded use gps and drains the battery a bit.

I don't need locations, speed or likewise in the app.
[Moto X Accessories] Wade-0:
Most of the alternatives suck.

According to what I've read on different forums and websites, The original firmware from Hong Kong has an Apps To SD function. I also don't know why they included that in the Hong Kong firmware.

Question: Can I install a firmware from the region Hong Kong if my phone came from a different region? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Kangburra:
There is no reason why not, but back up first to be safe.

Its new so I think I dont need to backup. Might flash my Mega right away when it arrives this coming friday.

Anyone else who would like to try the Hong Kong rom?

I tried to flash it today without having to factory reset my phone and it works fine. Where did you get your HK Rom? Maybe you got the wrong region?

Yeah, I got the new one, will download the old one! :(
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] neilenore:
I think I'm using the latest one..
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Kangburra:
What version does your phone say? I have this one I9205ZHUAMG1_I9205ZZHAMG1_I9205ZHUAMG1 and no app2sd option .
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] neilenore:
Yep. We same file for the stock rom. Here's also a screenshot of my about page
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Kangburra:
Thanks for the info, but this is not good news, it means this is somewhere in the Samsung bloat I removed. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] neilenore:
This might help: I used the turn off function on most of the samsung bloatwares instead of uninstalling it. So maybe its not because of the bloatwares..
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Kangburra:
I have been experimenting with the frameworks as well, I will go back a few steps and try again.

Thanks for your help. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] neilenore:
You're welcome! Goodluck on that
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Kangburra:
What format is your SD card? I am getting a "not enough space error" when there clearly is space :(
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] neilenore:
I don't know haha sorry! But I formatted it using my phone. No other weird format or stuffs i used for this to work
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] waynester21:
I bought my Mega off ebay (an import) and got an update immediately which I imagine was the app to SD support. I've got I9205ZHUAMG1 firmware. App to SD really helps me a lot as I think there was only about 4.9GB available memory in the phone so now I have the majority of my apps on the SD card (although some data remains on phone still).
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] tacito1688:
SD Card Size

After installing the HK ROM, I have the apps to sd feature but my internal SD card size is reported incorrectly. Does anyone have this issue?

I have 8gb sd but now it is reported as 16gb sd.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] waynester21:
Hi, I posted a thread (is that right? I'm a newbee haha) about my phone saying 16GB when it's an 8GB phone. Is yours the same?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] tacito1688:
Yes it is the same issue. If there a fix for it?

I'm on stock 96 rooted Xperia S.

Tried searching on Google and found a couple solutions that didn't help at all.

Weird

i had that issue right after one of my apps had a licence check failiour

Clear google play store data, that usually works for me
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Did you installed any patch with Lucky Patcher? If yes, go to fix problems and look for things related to apps not installing...

Seems like the problem fixed itself. And no I don't use lucky patcher. I don't know what happened but it annoyed me a lot.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Artego:
Hey everyone,

So I'm on 4.2.2 PA.

I decided to install Hells-core kernel, I was using Matr1x before.

So I do some heavy undervolting.

I think 1500 was around1000 and 192 was around 700.

So it works for a few hours, even flawlessly. Then my phone reboots a few times; The first few times it actually boots but once a few seconds in it crashes again (I noticed this happened when I used the notification drawer). After a few times I got into a bootloop. I already tried reflashing kernel and ROm (An older version than the phone had, but still 4.2.2). So now I was wondering, what do I do? How do I get a functioning pghone again, and also very important. How do I not lose ANY data or appdata? Is there any way to pull files to my computer from recovery?

While I'm at it is it a good idea to try and upgrade to 4.3?

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illru:
I would to try to flash only boot and system from the rom before the under volt and see if that fixes it.

Or...

If you can get to custom recovery do a adb shell and look around to see if your data is still there. If so do a nandroid backup of the phone. Then copy the backup and the files on sdcard with adb pull.

Once you have those safely on your computer you can wipe and side load anything you like. After you have stable phone copy back sdcard files and use an app like appextractor to copy your apps+data out of the backup.

Hope this helps.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Artego:
What exactly do you mean by that first line?

Also how would I go on and install a new ROM then, and make it work again???
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Artego:
Also I want to restore everything,

I'm talking pictures, videos.

I basically want to be able to put all of that to my computer from custom recovery (which I can acces). But I don't know how to do that.

I also want all appdata to be backed up to my computer before doing a factory reset!

Any help?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illru:
Flash the Matr1x kernel (boot.img) and system.img from PA you had before your under volt. You will have to unpack the img files from the zip file(s) you have to your computer. Then start your phone in fastboot and use "fastboot flash" from the android-sdk to flash the boot and system img files over to the phone.

None of this should hurt your userdata or sdcard. Of course do a backup before you start.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] one4thewings:
Some have said "Change the ISO to 200"

HTC said "Go to settings / apps / camera / delete data" .. it actually seemed to make at least a little difference.

I put a new ROM on there with Android 4.3 and it seemed improved but still had the coloring issue you showed.

It seems like software could fix it, but it's hard to tell. Why are HTC replacing some of these if it can be fixed with software?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] m4rk0358:
I understand people like taking photos of all kinds of stuff but why even bother taking a picture from 200 feet away in a dark room? Even if the colors looked better it seems like such a pointless photo. To each their own I guess. :D
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dbornack:
Took that specifically for this post.

Almost seems that zooming in takes care of the lighting, but obviously then more pixelated.

Why is it a circle pattern too? I'm tempted to pull out the lens cover to see any different.

Was this an issue with original 4.2.1 release on other carriers?

Is this an issue on Google Play Edition?
