Hello, I've got an issue with the apk that goes along semaphore kernel.

When I launch the apk I've got a white screen for a while then black screen. I've notice someone got the same problems. I'm on stock kk, I have root and busybox.

I wanted to post in the kernel topic but i'm newbie in xda so i'm stuck here...

PS : of course my boot loader is unlock, I was on pa 3.99 for a while, now i'm on stock KitKat with ART

I took my phone off charge an hour ago. Mediaserver has kept the phone awake for 6 minutes. But I haven't used any media playing apps at all, just tapatalk.

What's up with that. I never saw that on my n4.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gormsen:
What wakelocks do you have?

If you haven't done so already, install latest beta of Better Battery Stats.

I had huge wakelock from mediaserver earlier today, found out that it was Facebook beta app wanting to update through Google Play, but couldn't for some reason. I fixed it by disabling automatic updates for the app, and then stopping it from updating.

Hope any of this helps you. Also, you really should have posted this in the Q 'n A section.

[Moto X Q&A] gunsarebad:
Thinking of finally parting ways with my Galaxy Nexus. It's slowing down, and I wouldn't mind a new toy. Has anyone here made the same change, thoughts/comparison of the two?

Also do you think with Amazon offering the Moto X for a penny now, people might look to make a quick profit and we could see the Moto X on eBay for $350ish?

Watch the ifixit breakdown on this phone in regards to build quality.
[Moto X Q&A] swegin:
I came from a gnex and the moto x is IMO the next iteration of the gnex. You still have the nice size that fits nicely in hand but you have all the new bells and whistles. My brother in law and I got the gnex on the day it came out and as soon as he played around with my x he went and ordered one. I have no doubt that you will love it
[Moto X Q&A] dsimages:
I had a gnex for a year. Battery life and cell reception was a killer. I've had the X for a few weeks now and love it. It really is the perfect size. Call quality is great, screen is great, battery life is great, active notifications is great, everything is just great. You kinda find yourself in this weird content feeling because there us nothing to complain about ...lol

The phone feels solid too. Hold an s4 in one hand and the x in the other. Big difference.
[Moto X Q&A] sleepyguy007:
I had a gnex. I thought honestly it was not that good a phone. Battery life was awful and the camera sucked for all the concerts I go to. I actually hated it so much I bought a RAZR m on eBay. And now moto x. This is like selling a 10 year old corolla for a new lexus
[Moto X Q&A] flytechguy:
I made the switch. Nexus was as great phone. This is a light year jump no brainer. Great phone.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] timetex:
I'm sure I saw the device lock on the brand new GERMAN MDA Pro ROM that I installed earlier today. I had to remove it, though, as I don't understand German and don't know how to get it to display properly in English...

Nonetheless, its there... so must be in the new ROM.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazer4455:
Hey guys,

So I got my G2 today and rooted it using the recommended root thread(IOroot10). It completed successfully and installed SU onto my device. It didn't actually ask for any permissions when i opened it and when I attempted to update the binaries it fails because I never get the toast about granting permission. So I factory reset and tried again. It didn't work the second time either. I thought maybe it's because I didn't take the latest OTA, so I factory reset one more time, took the OTA, and am now stuck in boot. I can't get to any recovery or download mode.

The phone boots the LG logo then gives me a boot loader secure check real fast that it fails. After that it goes to a black screen and there's nothing I can do.

When I plug the phone in and let it get to the black screen, it creates a ton of virtual USB drives (16 to be exact). The first one contains a write protected folder named image which contains the files modem.bxx, mlserver.bxx, mc_b2.bxx, adsp.bxx, cmnlib.bxx, dxhdcp2.bxx, isdbtm,.bxx,

mba.bxx, playread.bxx, tqs.bxx, wcnss.bxx, widevine.bxx, where the xx in .bxx is replaced with sequences of 00 up to 26 in some cases. The rest of the drives it creates are empty.

Any sign of a recovery is completely gone, and I have no idea where it went :)

This is what appears in the top left of the screen when the LG splash pops up for a split second and goes black

Things I've tried:

+Completely power off:

-Factory Hard Reset (doesn't work)

-Hold Vol Up + Down and plug phone in (doesn't work)

-Power on, press Vol Up at vibrate (doesn't work)

+The phone never makes it to a point where I can ADB into it. I get the splash screen(with error) and straight to the black screen.

+Completely drain the battery and plug it back in to charge up. I end up with the same issue.

+Fastboot will not recognize the device, so flashing the recovery that way isn't an option.

-Could be a driver issue, but I think the phone just never makes it to a point where I can use fastboot.

Perhaps I'm missing something in that thread, but none of it applies to me.

The link to the other thread for if you can't get into download mode only talks about having TWRP installed on the device, which I don't.

And the rest of it is if you have ADB access, which I don't as well.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazer4455:
I'm reading through the directions and it says to get into download mode. I can not get into download mode to make any of this work.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il buono:
To get into download mode the G2 needs to be connected to the computer and upon turning on immediately press volume up. Compared to other devices, it's a weird way to do and may take a couple of tries to successfully boot into.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazer4455:
I'm still having no luck. I've read nearly 4 different ways to enter download mode for the vzw version and none of them have worked yet.

Holding the power button itself just restarts the device and it heads right back into the black screen. If I continue to hold the power button after it restarts, I get the LG splash again and then it shuts off.

It seems like the stock recovery is completely gone, but I don't understand why I wouldn't be able to get into download mode because of that.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 19Interpol:

truckroot, that does indeed work, I actually messed with my build.prop file today and it soft bricked my phone. It would turn on you'd see the LG logo and a black screen, man I was livid. So later I was going to to have it replaced under warranty, I called Verizon and what not and he told me to press this button combo and I got straight into CWM, holy crap that was quite an easy fix for me. Here is the key combo under "Alternate Method"

http://support.verizonwireless.com/support/devices/knowledge_base.html/87344 Hope it helps in some way, if the other ways still won't work for you.

Did you try to inspect/clean the phone micro USB connector (air compressor would be a good choice to remove possible dirt on it). The issue could be related to a single pin not making contact as it should.

Would you mind sharing the cost of the repairs by LG? I only ask because prior to finding this thread I called LG to set up a repair for the same exact issue. They could not estimate over the phone and the rep wasn't sure if they could even help me. I am glad to see that I am not the only individual with this issue.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattMattAttack:
To my delight, I got the OTA update or whatever it is, the official thingie to update to 4.4, icon and all.

I start it up, it goes through the motions, then it gives me a nondescript error (( The little Android looked like how it did when it's awaiting a bootloader instruction. ))

Does this mean my Android stock is borked? Do I need to factory wipe? I am confused. I did, however, download the Google-based Nexus 2012 KitKat build and I attempted to ADB it, and it gave me yet another error, with this - E:Error in /tmp/update.zip.

Any help that can be given would be wonderful.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ij.d:
I have the same issue. I wiped the cache and done a factory reset but it didn't fix the issue. I downloaded Nexus root toolkit as it has a unbrick feature and ran that but it seems to have made it worse, I can no longer get into recovery.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve_77:
So im looking for a keyboard that physically attaches to this phone, (im looking to upgrade my Tmob My Touch Slide 4G, yes there is swype, but try writing code in swype.. anyhow so im looking for some options for attaching a Bluetooth keyboard, something i can keep with the phone.

I was envisioning a large version of the MyTouchSlide4G or the Motorolla Droid 4, perhaps something like this

I have seen these things however - looks like you would need to use 2 hands or have it on a flat surface while typing as nothing holds up the screen while you are typing... if you were to hold the keyboard with one hand the phone would flop over.....

Something like this would be ideal but nobody seems to make something like it for the galaxy note 3

suggestions anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gunsarebad:
My galaxy nexus is getting noticeably slow. What are your guys thoughts of purchasing a Moto X as Gnex replacement?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] markitosd:
I think it's a good change. Moto X has some nice features and the updates to the latest android versiones are coming ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t1.8matt:
If you don't mind minimal development since it's locked down, everything else i've heard about the Moto X has been pretty good. Supposedly blows our Gnex out of the water in terms of speed and features. If you're on anything but Verizon, I just looked and you can unlock the bootloader through Moto, but I think only the Dev Edition doesn't get it's warranty voided if you unlock it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Website!:
both are great phones. i'd go to the store and see which one feels better in my hand.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sdobron:
Moto X is nice but way too pricey
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sonicmax2k2:
I'm a current Galaxy Nexus user, but in the past month, my parents and 6 friends have all gotten Moto Xs and they love them. I've had the chance to play around with them myself, and the performance, feel, and features are really top notch. It feels like a very natural evolution of my Nexus, except with far better reception and battery life. Also, while AMOLED, the screen is brigher and clearer.

The regular black and white versions are very cheap on Amazon Wireless. The Moto Maker ones are more expensive, but there are a lot of sales, and honestly, the customized ones look amazing in person.

If you still want an unlocked bootloader, you can get a developer version. Motorola put warranties back on the unlockable versions of their phones this past week, so you won't be out in the cold if you bust your phone.

The Galaxy Nexus has been a great device, and will continue to be mine for a few more months. That being said, if you're ready to get something new, I think the Moto X is a really excellent choice.

[Moto G General] theblue90:
Hi guys, i'm from italy, and i was thinking about buying moto g from tesco, as soon as it becomes available, because of its price (155 euro in UK, 229 euro in Italy -.-"). I've a friend in London who can take it.

I discovered that it's sim-locked, and that is possible to unlock. I didn't know this, but if you say yes, well...ok, perfect.

My question is: if i unlock it, what about the guarantee? Somebody told me i would lose it...is it right?

Thanks.
[Moto G General] ahardie:
I bought this phone for my wife and it's working great on virgin mobile after unlocking it. Can you tell me though if there is any advantage in changing it to the software that the sim free phones have? Will it still recieve the KitKat update in January if I don't change it?
[Moto G General] jusada:
Can't see it being an issue, tesco don't change anything. Think it's just a system identifier.
[Moto G General] Rusty!:
Truth is we don't know yet.

It might be that it doesn't get the KitKat update at the same time as the 'unbranded' one. It also might not. Only way to know is wait.

I've changed the the 'retail' ROM on the one I bought to be safe though.
[Moto G General] episode96:
I got mine from Tesco as well and I'm definitely going to wait until January before thinking about flashing the retail ROM. I see little point in doing it until then.
[Moto G General] ahardie:
Thanks for your replies. I will wait til January then.

I have to say this is an awsome phone for the price. The only advantages I can see that my GS3 has over it is the better camera and the slightly bigger screen. If my S3 broke I could quite easily manage with this phone.
[Moto G General] theblue90:
Guys, and the guarantee? Unlocking the smartphone makes you lose it?
[Moto G General] irishpancake:
No way does it.....if you are in the EU, you have a two-year Statutory Warranty as well as your warranty from the retailer.

Apple were force to comply, see this report:

http://www.techcentral.ie/eu-law-forces-apple-two-year-warranty/

In my own case, I purchased this on-line from Tesco Direct, which also gives additional protection for consumers.

I think this talk of losing ones warranty, even with an unlocked bootloader, is wrong as it applies to EU consumers, unless a retailer can prove you have actually done something, either hardware or software wise , which causes actual damage.

It may be different in the USA South America or Asia, but the EU warranty is pretty watertight.

See here also, from UK Trading Standards:

http://www.tradingstandards.gov.uk/cgi-bin/brighton-hove/con1item.cgi?file=*ADV0054-1011.txt
[Moto G General] jusada:
No, unlocking is perfectly fine. You won't lose your guarantee. If you unlock the boot loader, root or flash a rom you will lose it
[Moto G General] irishpancake:
Sorry, unless unlocking the Bootloader or flashing a new ROM can be proved to have damaged the device, this is untrue, for EU Citizens, under EU Directive 1999/44/EC.....what you say may apply elsewhere, but not in EU.

See my post above, with links to Trading Standards in UK, and statement by Apple, who were forced to change their Warranty, to include information about EU Statutory 2-year warranty. The Manufacturer Warranty is separate from the EU 2 year Statutory Warranty.
[Moto G General] theblue90:
great, thank you much guys :D I was afraid about this, because i was told exactly the opposite.

Thanks :)
[Moto G General] irishpancake:
OK, there is a lot of misinformation around, not least from manufacturers like Motorola, or Samsung, who may be relying on the legal situation in the US, or Korea...

the EU, and indeed the UK, gives a lot of protection to consumers, but if you have a problem, you must have your information to make a case to the retailer.

Also, I would think if someone "bricks" a phone, that would not be covered, as you would be expected to take care when performing such actions as unlocking bootloaders or flashing ROMS properly, always read the instructions, and then read them again, and again, etc.

But, full brick is actually pretty hard to do!!!
