[Moto X Q&A] phermey:
you have to accept a tos/confidentiality agreement, and they are pretty strict on how things are done on the support forums during soaks.

around here.. .the only thing they would care about is whether or not the exploits were patched, new exploits to exploit, or whether or not they can slap it into their roms before moto gets a chance to release it for themselves. as i more or less said previously... history has shown that its usually just a week. it doesnt take devs to find the bugs either. just regular people that are 'in tune' with their device. i get that having devs on hand for the soak would be beneficial as it puts more hands on the keyboards to fix those bugs. but judging on how moto works against the dev community with bootloaders and lack of source drops... id say its pretty obvious that they dont want dev help. <---which i ultimately dont agree with. but thats another thread all together.

i realize now that i should have just kept my mouth shut. things always get out of hand online. hopefully i explained my thoughts and reasoning better with this post. if not... oh well. i tried.
[Moto X Q&A] mandrsn1:
Yes. When I worked at Motorola I knew a few people who were tasked to search for forums leakers of software. And yes, there is typically a confidentiality agreement for signing up for it.
[Moto X Q&A] matt99017d:
No worries. I think its a bit off to "report" someone for asking what they can do to help the community. That's all.

[Moto X Q&A] SamuriHL:
Soak tests are one of the most misunderstood things about Moto phones. And I find it absolutely hilarious when these threads pop up. OMGZ PONIES you talked about the soak test! First rule of soak test is not to talk about soak test! Sure, that applies to the couple hundred that sign up and agree to the NDA. What everyone ALWAYS overlooks is the fact that the soak test is actually pushed out to more non-soak users than soak users on day 1. As in several THOUSAND. None of those people signed an NDA. None of them agreed to not modify their phone (i.e. root it) before taking the update. So they can pull it and host it all they want. At this point, Moto has absolutely no reason to believe that people in the soak test program are going to remain silent about it. About 15 minutes after the emails are sent out it's being posted on all the news sites. So people know it's coming. Moto knows it'll get leaked. And given that there are more non-soak users that get it on day 1 than soak users, it really doesn't matter. If you're "selected" for the soak, you aren't part of some super secret special club(tm). You're just someone who has access to a private forum to post issues you find. So?

[Moto X Q&A] jayboyyyy:
and to conclude, yes you shouldn't have opened your mouth, yes you are trying to be a hall monitor, yes you do think yourself special for receiving the soak test and "telling on people", yes no one cares including Moto, and yes the official release has already started rolling out or will tomorrow from reports, especially the many users who are receiving the OTA already on their phones.

And if you don't think you are on your high horse then follow this logic: If you really just wanted people to respect the "soak test" hoopla, then you could have PMd the guy, or said I don't think you should be doing this. Then after that you could have even reported him to respect your process. But instead, you decided to post on a forum how cool you are for reporting him to whomever you said. You wanted people to see it. You can think in your head all you want that you were "doing it for the cause" ha, but deep down inside that self righteous head of yours, you are thinking

***wall=soak test
[Moto X Q&A] :
"you cant handle the truth!"
[Moto X Q&A] icase81:
You guys realize that its being pushed out to the general populace already right? So there's nothing to hide anymore. I'm really not seeing the point of jumping through the soak test hoops when 5 hours later they started pushing it to everyone.
[Moto X Q&A] :
That was the topic of this thread yesterday, now its all about high horses, and lines from the movie A Few Good Men.
[Moto X Q&A] icase81:
In that case, maybe, if we work at it, we can get phermey charged with the Kennedy assassination.
[Moto X Q&A] jayboyyyy:
you know he is still alive right?

i found this out when phermey emailed me to let me know because I'm the moderator on the "Find Where they Hid Kennedy" forum.
[Moto X Q&A] :
Please excuse me for a moment while I grab my layer hat...

"...and isnt it true phermey, that after notifying the moto/soak test moderator you went down to your local ****'s Sporting Goods and bought a Winchester pump-action 22lr rifle and a 550 round box of Remington 22lr ammo? Anid isnt it also true that you then rode your high horse into a time machine, a really big time machine to fit your horse, then traveled back in time and ASSASSINATED Gorge Washington, Cristobal Colon and other historical figures??? The proof is on the internet because i wrote it and you cant write anything on the internet that isnt true. I rest my case."

[Moto X Q&A] hazenberger:
Could anyone who has installed the OTA update please post what it says under System version under About>>Phone?

I downloaded and manually installed the update yesterday using stock recovery (I have Verizon, unrooted, non-Dev version) and I just wanted to confirm that the OTA update is displaying as: 139.15.1.ghost_verizon.Verizon.en.US

Not sure if the fact that I did this manually will mess up my ability to receive future OTAs. If so, I'd just as soon try to go back via RSD lite method and take the OTA. Hoping for some input.

Thanks!

[Moto X Q&A] mau006:
I never got another soak test invite, so does seem that talking about them on a public forum is a bad idea. Doesn't matter though, since then I've published a few apps, realized I'm not really a hardware hacker kind of guy, and don't even mind that my Moto X is still on KitKat cause I got a Nexus 7 and it seems like it's going to take until M for them to get all the kinks worked out.

This looks like a great idea, but I'm wondering how they hold up. (I always worry about losing the caps to my keychain thumbdrives. :silly:
[Moto X Accessories] CedarSprings:
It Works, But

I got one. A nice little piece of kit. But so far it isn't a seemless experience.

The default Apps don't seem to recognize it. Neither Gallery nor QuickPic will find any of the photos on it until I navigate to it using ES File Explorer. Gallery will only show the photo I open from File Explorer. QuickPic will allow me to browse the directory of a photo I select, but not move up the directory tree.

As for music files, Play Music will do so for the file selected from ES File, but won't allow me to search the memory card.
[Moto X Accessories] dr3wster:
Cedarsprings thanks for letting us know.. Kinda interested now!

Do u have root on ur Moto X? If so, can you pls give chainfire's stickmount from the play store a shot?

I think it may solve your problem by auto mounting the OTG device on boot.

If it works, I'm definitely getting one for my X too!

Not Rooted Yet

While I got the Developer Edition, I haven't rooted it yet as I'm still deciding whether or not to put either my company e-mail (with their MaaS360 Mobile Device Management) or my client's e-mail (and its Citrix Recevier security - speaking of, what poor reviews!). Either Maas360 will detect Root, or it is just company "policy" to not allow rooted devices, and I'm still trying to find out which is is before I move on things.

I'd thought changing the USB Computer Connection setting in teh Storage settings from Media Device (MTP) to Camera (PTP) might help, but no joy. In fact, I was a bit surprised that there wasn't anything about the attached device there.

And while I'd also like to get Titanium Backup in place, there aren't any ROMs with real appealing capabilities that are pushing me to unlock and root. Now, when there's a Menu patch like Jason Robitaille's Advanced Launcer Options in WebOS, I'll be rooted & ROMing in a heartbeat.

[Moto X Accessories] dr3wster:
Totally understandable :) .. I think in theory it should work, but just wasn't sure about motox compatibility with the stickmount and otg setup... Apparently Motorola phones dont seem to work with Carbon/Helium backup so I was wondering if something in the system might interrupt the setup.

hells yeah... Another webOS fan!! So rare to find one these days.. I'm only on Android becuz things went south :( ... At least matias is design the UI for android now.. And with HP's alleged intention to sell webOS patents, we just might find that Android becomes more webOS-y in the future!

The patch system was awesome! I think Rod Whitby setup Nexus Internals a while back when HP started giving up on webOS... Not sure if they are working on any solutions similar to preware? Closed framework is very similar in concept tho... Have u installed it?

Response from Meenov

I sent a note to the Meenov support site yesterday, giving them a heads-up about the Moto X issue and this thread, and got this quick response:

"Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately that's because Moto X removed certain support for external USB storage, while Moto's other models (Droid series) have better support for external USB storage."

So hopefully the smarter among us will figure out what the problem is and it in a future ROM.

Stock ROM, FAT32, and sort of. It doesn't need to mount like a typical SD card. Plug it in and it will automatically show up in /storage. Unplug it when done, no need or way to unmount.

[Moto X Accessories] adampatricknc:
Ok, so I've had mine for about a week now and it works great with my 32GB UHS-1 class card.

To get your media to read in other apps, such as music in Google Play Music, download the app by Chainfire called Stickmount. Mount the Meenov. Second, if you wanna go the free route, download the app called Rescan Media Root and run it. (obviously, you need to have root access) Give it about 10-20 seconds (your Meenov will start to blink) and your music should start appearing in Google Play Music. Just remember to Unmount when you want to remove the Meenov reader. And to remove all your music stored on the card that still appears in Google Play Music, run Rescan Media Root again.

Or, you can just drop $2.49 on the pro version of Stickmount and it will automatically trigger a rescan on mount and unmount.

I am SO happy I got one of these! I got a Republic Wireless Moto X in the mail today, since I can't afford VZW anymore. I was kinda bummed going from first a Droid X, then a Droid Bionic, both with SD card slots and removable batteries with an extended battery option, which I had for both. The Meenova is pretty unobtrusive, has a little blue light (love blue lights!), and I've pointed both QuickPic and PowerAmp to the folders I had on it for music and pictures. Also works fine with ES File Explorer. So I'm much happier about my decision now. I'm gonna have to wait to see if more people root the phone successfully now...I'm too afraid to try yet. Friggin' ads in apps are killing me! I'm not used to them, having all rooted devices!

Yeah, NOT cool. I just loaded up my 64GB card with music/pics/movies to use on my X. I guess it's a good thing that Republic Wireless won't be getting KitKat for months....at least I can enjoy it for a while, and hopefully Googola will fix it.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TaintedCross:
I have an HTC One by T-Mobile, Our update was released Monday. I tried to update but when it rebooted it went to install and failed to install, I looked up some information that say usually the cause of the failed install for software system updates is because of an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery. So I've tried to restore to factory OEM settings but every time it fails to up restore to the factory update as well. I'm at a loss here and no Idea what to do. I can flash any custom roms I want and those seem to work and flash just fine but If I try anything else like reverting to OEM stock it doesn't work. Anyone have any Ideas?

Before anyone asks, I've tried doing a RRU restore from desktop and .Zip on my phone and neither work. Both fail.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1234d:
Get s-off and restore any RUU.. After restore, better get s-off before you update, you won't be able to get it after the update.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fadimanansala@gmail.com:
you need to flash the stock recovery and lock your bootloader to be able to do the update.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
I'm pretty sure you don't need to relock the bootloader for OTAs, you do however need 100% stock ROM and (a very close) stock recovery for that ROM.

[Themer General Discussion] miles_muso:
Hi All,

First off, I LOVE themer! I've been using Apex Launcher for some time on my HTC OneX (rooted, ARHD 31.3 ROM) and I've often gazed with longing at the home screens that some people have designed using UCCW, knowing that I'll necer have the time (or the artistic flair) to design my own. Now I can!

But there seems to be SO many customization options on Themer, and I'm a little overwhelmed. For instance, I'm using a theme with an RSS feed as a central tile, but I'd love to be able to change that to a 'favourite apps' tile. I'm sure the option is there, but I can't work it out. So, has anyone developed/is working on/knows of a Themer user guide?

I work on a cruise ship and internet access is slow and expensive (£10 for 167 minutes!) so I really don't have time to surf around looking for answers to design questions.

SO, does such a guide exist? If so, please point me in the right direction. If not, is anyone up to the challenge?:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Thanks miles_muso for your kind words! Yes the video vhngu930 provided is a good one, but for your problem I can help here. See the thing is that you'd first have to delete that RSS icon and then hold down on the homescreen > Themer Actions > Favorite Apps. Now you'll have a massive heart (we're working on adding icon packs soon), which you'll be able to edit. If you hold down on the icon > edit > tap the icon, you'll be able to replace it with an icon image. You can maybe try here for icon images which may help, they by Jeppe Foldager and the small whites and darks should help for now: https://www.copy.com/s/DxsaXLatvBGf/Share/Icons

Just bought a used HTC Sensation, originally the carrier is T-Mobile, my carrier is Bell Mobility.

I put my sim card in, it pulls up that i have unread voicemails, and shows the service bar, however, only emergency calls are allowed.

When i try to dial a number it says "not registered on network". I've tried putting in a few different sim cards, there has been no prompt on entering an unlock code. I have tried factory reset, no luck either. How am I able to unlock the phone if no prompt shows up for code? Will i have to unroot the phone?

[LG Optimus G (International)] aceman67:
I have a Rogers 971 that I unlocked (with an unlock code) and use on Bell. The Phone was rooted, and I used FreeGee to install a bootloader recovery (either TWRP or Clockwork, don't remember which, most likely clockwork as I use that on my Galaxy TAB3).

Everything was fine for about a week, I restarted my phone several times (for one reason or another, mostly app lock ups), no issues.

When I got home from work though, I had a 44% charge left on my phone, I took it out of my pocket and put it on my desk, when I got up about an hour later, the screen was blank (but turned on). I pressed and held the power button to reboot it, I saw the LG logo flash once briefly.

When i try and enter recovery mode (holding standby and vol down), the LED blinks red quickly over and over again, and phone shuts off if I take my fingers off the buttons.

When I try to enter download mode (vol up), I the LED is solid red, same result, phone shuts off.

Hopefully the battery is just drained and keeping it plugged with my wall charger turns it back on. (I'll check back in the morning)

If its not the battery, what, if anything, can I do?
[LG Optimus G (International)] atifsh:
If keeping pressed the power button completely shuts the phone off, and putting the charger gives you the charging indication that white charging animation battery than it's fine.
