I've been wondering the same thing. But I went with the defender case..,
[Moto X Accessories] icelus1:
Just curious if anyone has been able to test the dock with the Otterbox Commuter case. I just got this phone and case this past weekend, but I missing having it docked while at work.
[Moto X Accessories] scoobaspeaz:
Well the answer to my question is no. It will not fit UNLESS you cut off the bottom flap of the otterbox case that covers the power charging port.
[Moto X Accessories] Butcher98:
I have this dock and I can set my phone on it with the otterbox on. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005HY4UOG/ref=redir_mdp_mobile?pc_redir=1387820700
[Moto X Accessories] icelus1:
Thank you for the recommendation. It's also available at TigerDirect for a bit less: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1981862&srkey=YYi1-KV8071

It's a bit more than I wanted to spend, but if it's something that will last for awhile, regardless of my phone or its case, I may give it a shot.
[Moto X Accessories] Butcher98:
I got it at best buy for like 20, may want to check their site. Bought it in Sept for my Rezound but works even better with the X
[Moto X Accessories] jrpbulk:
Well the answer is don't do it, I did. I bought two docks and two cases , 1 each for me and the wife. The Moto X in the case did not fit on the dock.

I have no issues removing the Moto X from the case to put it on the dock at night (I did it with my Note 2 and it's dock). But my wife wants simplicity and the dock I bought her is going back.

Additionally, the otter box dock is several times hard to remove and I hope over time it gets easier. My former galaxy note 2 and otter box commuter case were easy to use.

I considered buying a thinner case but that won't work, she's tough on phones.

Hope this helps

After changing my Dutch Vario to UK everything is working ok except the today plugin for T-Mobile. It looks as the shortcut for the T-Mobile option (The one that's warning your going online) is just calling the exe BrandedBrowser. After that nothing happens. Modifying the HTCtodayscreen.dll to change the shortcut also doesn't work. So I hope someone can post the original T-Mobile UK BrandedBrowser.exe.

thanks jimmy_boy for the UK BrandedBrowser.exe

I will giveit a try and see if I can change the default homepage from T-Mobile UK into the Dutch T-Mobile startpage.

Upgrading the Vario from Dutch to English was simple, just followed the instructions to CID unlock the device and then start the UK exe file. Toke about 20 minutes. I have the feeling that the English rom is a little bit faster. It now show 1.6.2.4 WWE instead of 1.6.2.2 NLD

Also patched the WLAN to connect at 54Mbps. So, I'm very happy with my Vario.

Missing files

Hi.

I copied the file to my \windows directory and launched the file (in a non-T-mobile ROM) and I get the popup box that I am about to go online. I click OK and the box disappears but nothing happens. Do I also need to install the web'n'walk.cab and/or are there required registry entries?

Yes, I know have a TyTN and 8525 (I do have the T-mobile ROM for that phone but the result is the same). Is there something that is launching that T-mobile US does not recognize?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] khan3:
Appreciate that this is an old thread but in order to use the t-mobile brandedbrowser you need to add (or modify) 2 registry entries:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PIEPlug]

"WebStub"=dword:00000000

"home"="http://www.t-mobile-favourites.co.uk"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\PIEBrowser]

"Path"="\Windows\BrandedBrowser.exe"

(change the UK www address to your own countries web address)

Working OK on my HTC Touch Dual.

Can someone please guide me through the steps for installing cm11 on my GS3 1747. I am currently running 4.3 stock and I also need help rooting. I rooted using chainfires method, but super su wont update binaries
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PhillyFlyer:
Wrong thread brotha... Suggest looking in any of the ROM posts and following those directions.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rkant18:
I've tried but nothing shows how to install it when you're on 4.3
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Asphyxiation:
Even though, as Philly said, this is the wrong thread, I will attempt. If you are running the official stock 4.3 from AT&T, you will more than likely not be able to install. And if you are on official stock, I do not suggest trying anything because you might brick your phone.

Other than that, you need to have CWM 6.0.4.3 or later to do it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mbze430:
technically speaking... the updater-script doesn look for the MJB... so it probably won't install. but if you edit the updater-script either add the MJB bootloader... it should install just fine.

Or you can remove ALL the bootloader checks in the install script and it will load on anything.

YMMV

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeryCFC:
Hello, i've heard that Samsung has a custom binary download counter, so my question is; does

SONY

have that too?

The reason is that i flashed many custom roms on my phone and now I have some dead pixels on my camera and i can't send it back to Sony cause I already destroyed my warranty and I heard if I reset a custom binary download counter i will be able to restore my warranty?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
To the best of my knowledge Sony does not have a custom binary download counter like Samsung devices have. If you restore the stock ROM to your device you should be good to go to send it back.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billykxda:
I did a little research and wanted to know if I really have the right info regarding wallpapers and the notification bar.

Please: no need to tell me to root or to use an alternative launcher. I am well-versed in both, but I remain interested in staying stock and using the default laucher.

So, is it the case that:

- The only way to have a transparent notification bar (it looks great) is to use the stock, LG-supplied wallpaper?

- There is no way to add to the stock wallpaper collection?

Thanks in advance.

There's ZOR over at the Theme's section who makes his own themes. Chose's his own wallpapers and icons and all and still has transparent as stock. I saw in one of a couple pages that he posted a link on to how he made them. that could be another way to achieve that.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naatan:
So I've had my Nexus 5 for about 2 weeks and have so far barely used it as I work from home and have a Nexus 7 for my non-traveling needs. I'm fairly certain my Nexus 5 had no stuck/dead pixels though.

So today I noticed what seems like a stuck pixel, but from a bit of googling it's probably best described as a "hot pixel" as it seems to kind of "glow". It's only visible on brighter background, completely invisible when using a black background or turning off the screen.

My biggest gripe with kitkat is that battery life doesn't feel close to what I was getting with 4.2. Sorry I don't have any screens saved, but generally dead after 14-16 hours with 2 hours screen on time.

Running stock 4.4 with ART

How is your battery life on kitkat? Any tips to improve battery life?
[Moto X General] bsinc1962:
Same complaint here. Went from 5 hours of screen on time to just over 3. Android OS is the biggest draw. I've heard it might be from exchange email which I need for work but I'm not sure.

Do you use exchange email?
[Moto X General] BrokenWall:
I have noticed a sizable drain as well, I use to be able to get 2+ hours before I hit 50% and make it a whole day without a problem, today I was at 1:20 at 50% and I didn't change the usage of my phone.

I am still on Dalvik and no Exchange Email

As to the other post, RSD?

From what I can tell ART definitely affects battery
[Moto X General] mikel.canovas:
I originally heard it would be a boost in battery. Have you extensively tried both? Can you compare them?
[Moto X General] bmszabo:
Here we go again.. I have had (and later only followed) these discussions from my early Donuts days; after EVERY system update always complaints about battery drain - vanishing the cries (and the issues) in couple of days.. Bet (and discussed) this being some update issue; resetting battery charge points, connecting servers, fine-tuning system, apps; your guess is as good as mine!

But; this thread will vanish in couple of weeks - says me.
[Moto X General] chaoslimits:
Yup. Battery life on Moto X 4.4 is at least 50% better than 4.2.2 Moto X. My first full charge on ART was 34hs 2.5hrs SOT.

Here is my second full charge rundown:

Experienced the same. :(

But later I tweaked my apps and yeah I was kinda forced to set the brightness level to a lower one at nighttime and all.. So has to get more life. But now its better anyway :)
[Moto X General] DroidOnRoids:
Why don't you start completely fresh and fastboot the 4.4 image files? Doesn't hurt to start fresh from 4.4 instead of OTA'ing from a completely different OS version.
[Moto X General] mikel.canovas:
Why should I have to wipe my phone in order to get acceptable battery life? I switched to the moto x so I wouldn't have to do stupid **** like that which only wastes hours of my time
[Moto X General] DroidOnRoids:
If that is an option you don't want to take, then you probably should provide us with some more info about your phone. What apps are installed? Screen brightness level? Number of services syncing data? Anything could be helpful.

Also, if you're using Facebook, delete it. It's poorly optimized. Use the browser.

EDIT: Screenshot your data signal strength in Settings > About phone > Status. I want to see how strong your reception is. If it's weak where you are, that may be the main culprit.
[Moto X General] mikel.canovas:
Not meaning to bash you or other members here, more meant for Motorola. But none of my installed apps are ever very high on my usage stats. Screen time and Android OS are always far ahead. I use lux auto brightness which tends to keep the brightness lower, so that should be saving battery. The thing is that nothing has changed from the ota. I haven't added any new sync accounts or installed any new always on apps, yet I and many others are noticing a big dip in battery life
[Moto X General] DroidOnRoids:
I know you aren't, you're just frustrated which is fine.

If you're using Lux Auto, are you setting it to dynamic? Dynamic is probably the worst mode for battery lol I use On Wake mode because it doesn't constantly use the sensor to adjust to the surroundings.
[Moto X General] tejaskary:
I agree that battery life has gone down since the Kitkat update...Really disappointing, since with the factory software (4.2), the battery life was really stellar...Do you also see Android OS in the top battery consumers btw?
[Moto X General] MVPete1:
Would going through the factory reset option on the phone yield the same effectiveness as going through RSD or would I be better off to use RSD to reset things?

*EDIT*

Also, I have location reporting turned off in my location settings since I heard that could be an unnecessary battery drain. Although I do have location history turned on. Does anyone know if having location history turned on/off makes any noticeable difference in battery life?
[Moto X General] bsinc1962:
I'll let you know, I went the factory reset route.
[Moto X General] ofmirroreye:
There is a "device only" mode that uses gps and not network or wifi to determine position. Gps turns on just fine when you're using maps, etc.
[Moto X General] theraffman:
It is my experience with android that if you are having unexplained issues, a factory reset often fixes this... I have taken countless otas and I always do a wipe before and after and 99 times out of 100 I don't have any if the issues that people report who don't wipe...

If you feel that you don't need to do a factory reset after a complete firmware version update then that's your right, but stop complaining... In the time you spent on here complaining about this, you could have done several fresh installs and restores...

Not attacking you, it's just silly that you won't put in a little time to do something, especially when it's common knowledge that bugs may occur when upgrading from whole firmware versions without some form of reset.

Any comments yet?
[Moto X General] MajorTankz:
As someone who has factory reset more than once and has had the Android OS issue before the Kitkat update (Sprint) I can assure you that factory resets don't do anything. I bought a Moto X for the least inconvenience as possible especially for maintenance so I think I'll opt to not waste my time doing a factory reset just for some placebo effect.

And no, it is most certainly not in the masses common knowledge to use a factory reset every time you get an OTA update for your phone.

You can just toggle the power strip GPS icon when you want to use maps. No need for 24/7 high accuracy. This is what I do and my location and battery is great.
[Moto X General] Elslunko:
Just to put some of the discouraging thoughts at bay, I updated, no factory reset or configuration changes and my battery life is still stellar. I had 20 hours unplugged with about 3.25 hours of screen time yesterday. I have a pretty good amount of accounts syncing and don't have any features disabled or turned off to save juice.
[Moto X General] bsinc1962:
Day one was slightly better. My screen on time was up to 4.5 hours from about 4 but not quite the 5 hours I was getting pre update. Yesterday was a heavy use day for me and Android OS was still high though. The idle drain still seems high and I have to wonder if the phone isn't going into a deep sleep.

I let the phone completely die last night so I could get a full 0-100 charge.
[Moto X General] atawse:
I too suffered bad battery life after the 4.4 upgrade. I didn't disable any bloat and did a factory reset. Dad a little better but not what is was. I then disabled a lot of the bloat and my battery life returned to pre 4.2 levels.

[Moto X General] landale:
I was able to figure out the root of my bad battery life issues on my Moto X, turns out the very high Android OS drain was due to my wireless router. It made sense as my crazy battery drain was only when I was connected to wifi but yesterday while connected to a friends wifi network for most of the day I had no such drain The first two shots below are an overnight idle drain while on my Asus RT-N66U, the second two are the following nights drain while connected to the built in G router in my modem, otherwise nothing else was different. Since I have only used my Moto X on 4.4 I don't know if this is a new issue or something that always impacted the Moto X. I have also started testing running the 2.4ghz signal from my dual band router at G only with WMM turned off and I think that solved the drain issue as well so I am guessing it must be something related to that. So if there are others with very high Android OS drain and use a lot of wifi you might want to look at your router.
