[Pebble] PsychDrummer:
I haven't seen it in my battery stats either using a N5. Even if it does take a bit of battery, remember that you're most likely going to be looking at your phone less and the constant lock/unlock should improve your battery.
[Pebble] Scottbee:
This thread may be old, but I just came in to say that this comment is very true. Based on your kernel's governor settings (that throttle the CPU) you'll save a serious amount of battery even before considering the screen will be on less often.
[Pebble] dece27:
With my N5, I have lots of awakes from Pebble app (v2.4 beta) which drains the battery of the smartphone. I'm using Dalvik because ART has a bug with the bluetooth with lots of awakes. Can anyone help me, please?
[Pebble] Grooby97:
Looks like Pebble app is preventing the phone going into deep sleep though

not sure if other people are experiencing this. I am on V2 Beta 4.
[Pebble] dece27:
Which watchfaces and watchapps are you using?
[Pebble] Shawheim:
I've had a pebble for 4 months and haven't had it show up on my list in battery stats. That's using the pebble app, pebble notifier and canvas. Even using a watchface from canvas that shows weather and battery info doesn't cause a drain. And I wear my pebble 10+hrs a day.
[Pebble] dece27:
I don't know, probably there's something strange with Pebble App and Android 4.4.2. Who notice this problem can please help us, providing the full list of watchapps and watchfaces installed?
[Pebble] quangtran1:
Same here. I have 4.4.2 and Pebble services don't even make on this battery usage list.

iPhone 5S, LG G2, Razr Mini, Nokia 928, Blackberry Q10
[Pebble] dece27:
Which watchapps do you have installed (and which watchfaces)?
[Pebble] quangtran1:
Here are what I have on my Pebble:

- The original 3 watchfaces

- The World Metric watchface

- The Canvas for Pebble watchface that has 3 calendar entries, weather, missed text and phone counters

- Stopwatch for Pebble

- Multi-timer for Pebble
[Pebble] Grooby97:
HTC One GE rom 4.4.2

Apps on the phone:

- Pebble

- Pebble Locker

- Pebble Notifier

- Pebble Dialer

Apps on Pebble

- Simple Weather

- Pebble Dialer

- Yahoo Weather 2.0

- Modern Extra

- Square Minutes

Update:

I am seeing a lot of nlpwakelock triggered from Pebble app.
[Pebble] tamshiwen:
I would wager either simple weather or yahoo weather(or both) are what's causing your wakelock issue. They tend to ping your phone at regular intervals and also when you switch to their watchface on the pebble, making the bt radio active and phone awake more often.
[Pebble] dece27:
I agree with you. I tried to uninstall all the watchfaces that visualise the weather and seems that wakelocks never appear. Anyone can confirm this?
[Pebble] quangtran1:
I use weather update function from Canvas for Pebble and my Pebble can last 5 days. However, I agree with the other poster that Yahoo Weather maybe the culprit. Yahoo always installs tracking codes for ad (spam) purposes. While ads currently do not display on your Pebble, I have to believe there are codes related to the overall Yahoo weather engine that constantly ping; consequently, causing wakelocks.
[Pebble] Grooby97:
so that means even if the watch face is not active, the code is still running in the background?!?! or are we talking about that there are portion of codes running under the Pebble app?
[Pebble] quangtran1:
It depends. If the app shows up in your list of running apps (settings - apps - running), then obviously it's using battery. It depends on what data a watchface pulls. If it doesn't poll your phone constantly, then the phone shouldn't be using battery.

iPhone 5S, LG G2, Razr Mini, Nokia 928, Blackberry Q10
[Pebble] Grooby97:
Are you referring to android app or watch app? I am referring to the Yahoo Weather watch app, which pulls the weather info from somewhere. the assumption is that it connects to Pebble android app to get location; thus the nlpwakelock, and then pulls the necessary data from Yahoo weather API. If the Yahoo weather app is not running (active watchface), does it still run and pull location at the predetermine frequency?
[Pebble] quangtran1:
See, that's what I'm not sure, you'll have to test. I do not use the Yahoo app; I don't know that when the watchface isn't active, does that app simply not displaying the watchface, but still runs in the background, or is it completely inactive altogether? I'm guessing that if the face isn't active, then there would be no reason for the Yahoo app to run. I thought you already stated that you did not experience wakelocks when you stopped using the Yahoo weather app.
[Xperia Z1 General] Morlock O:
It feels fragile, but I assure its not... I have seen a review where it was dropped from 5ft 3 times in succession and the glass didn't even chip... well yes it did chip a little, 1 mm on the corner, hardly noticeable... never see any other phone with stand this... all Note 3, G2 Iphone 5s all broken screen on the first drop...
[Xperia Z1 General] shteren:
But z1 was the only phone not working after the drop.... Sooo it's a pretty brick now.
[Xperia Z1 General] 1337rice:
Lol, the androidauthority test is why I'm more worried about this phone. I know why Samsung uses plastic, it absorbs impact better :laugh:
[Xperia Z1 General] Morlock O:
actually those guys are idiots, they didn't test the device before and after every drop (like they always do on samsungs and iphones). so we all don't know when did it actually stop working...

I personally saw one drop from 5 ft and its still working, just a little scratches here and there...
[Xperia Z1 General] DeKubus:
Dropped mine / fell out of my pocket > 10 times now. Some scratches in the alumunium frame, some in the protective stock anti shatter layer. Overall I'm VERY impressed how resilient it is for its looks. On the other hand, it has to win the award for the most slippery phone to date yet. Carrying it in cloth trouser pockets equals phone on the ground when you stand up fast.
[Xperia Z1 General] Morlock O:
lol all samsung has cracked screen after one drop... they dont claim warranty on cracked screen... they do claim warranty on devices that does not turn on... pick your poison...
[Xperia Z1 General] shteren:
Lol, use some thin rubber case to make it less slippery
[Xperia Z1 General] DeKubus:
Haven't bought a sleek looking phone to strap an ugly wrapper around it. So... Livin' on the edge :D
[Xperia Z1 General] DeathlessOne:
Let me tell you that I had the same problem as well. Videos were extra sharp with jagged edges when XR was turned on and it wasn't visible on the pre-loaded videos. Like you said, turning it off would make it better but the colors won't be vivid as when XR is on. So I became frustrated and checked with a demo piece available at the store. The demo had the same issue too. I thought it was a problem with all the devices. Then I replaced mine due to pinch to zoom issues with my Z1. When I received the new one, it DIDN'T have the sharpness problem as before. So I was thinking that it could have been a panel or hardware problem. My second device went under a replacement as well. The third device I received didn't have the problem too. So I guess it affects some of the devices and your's has been affected. The Z1 I have now is very good when watching videos with XR turned on and colors pop out actually :) I request you to check your's with other devices at the store or with your friends if they have one.
[Xperia Z1 General] One Twelve:
huh ?

I tend to drop things out of my pocket sitting down not standing up ?

if your knee is higher than your pocket, things will fall out.
[Xperia Z1 General] 1337rice:
I actually tried it again and it seems that the X-Reality over-sharpens 720p video while 1080p seems perfectly fine. I played a 1080p .mkv with XR turned on and it was completely fine.
[Xperia Z1 General] DeKubus:
Yeah, but if I move around while sitting the phone "slides" to the edge of my pocket. Then the little tilt backwards to gain momentum before standing up sends it flying. Damned shallow pockets! :)
[Xperia Z1 General] Jiyeon90:
Mine had that problem too, but after installing the first update Sony released, X-reality has been a pleasure to to use, it makes 480p videos look very close to HD and the colors really pop out.
[Xperia Z1 General] negrobembon:
Does X reality work with other video players? Or only the sony app?
[Xperia Z1 General] 1337rice:
As far as I know, it works with MX Player
[Xperia Z1 General] negrobembon:
Thanks
[Xperia Z1 General] shteren:
I can confirm it working with the excellent "bs player" Btw what update are you talking abour? Xr also oversharpens 720p in my phone and its anoying, I have. 257 fw
[Xperia Z1 General] Jiyeon90:
It works on YouTube and with MX player too but first you have to go to decoder and tick all the H/W+ options and untick all the S/F boxes, in some video sites similar to youtube you can choose MX to be the video player as well.

---------- Post added at 01:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 PM ----------

For me x-reality only do things better, here's an example of a 720p video showing the difference

You can clearly see that the second pic is a lot sharper especially if you look at the text and colors are more vivid too. I don't know if you see that as something negative but for me it definitely is an improvement over the original video.
[Xperia Z1 General] shteren:
Well at some scenes perticular details get oversharpened and look awfull...

a request to developers / rom cookers:

please check these apsects while you finalise your releases for mmx a116, which has built-in dual-sim feature.

i might add more when they come to mind and i'll be happy to clarify my points. thank you.

1. is there full dual-sim functionality? i.e., are there dual-sim options/buttons in the dialer, messaging app etc.?

2. does the rom fare well at lower dpi, viz., 280/270/260 (stock is 320, as we all know) - without any screens getting distorted and/or any functionality getting affected?

3. does usb otg work well - i.e., mount and unmount cleanly without any external app support?

4. does call recording work properly - especially at lower dpi, say 280/270/260? don't be surprised.

5. do xposed framework/installer and modules, esp. gravitybox (which can transform any stock rom into an 'individually customised' rom) work well?

6. ......

7. ......

: others also may feel free to add to this list. thank you.

Hi guys,

First of all I apologize if this has already been asked or is not allowed.

Anyhow, do you any of you know where I can get a recovery (older twrp) flashable zip file of the latest TWRP?? Goo Manager won't download and my phone just doesn't work with Odin anymore, I can't even plug it in to a PC and have it detect as a USB device. So I'm stuck with uploading/downloading files to my phone to Airdroid and just flashing through TWRP.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Download the img off the TWRP site and use an app such as Flashify or EZ Recovery to find the img on your phone and flash. Start here and search for our device.

[Moto X General] Mastaking:
I don't like the black and white color scheme. The phones are identical and yet one gets to keep the warranty. It doesn't make any sense to me.
[Moto X General] _MetalHead_:
It's an unfair world we're living in.
[Moto X General] maratd:
Motorola needs to sell phones. That's what they do. To do that, they need to be friends with the carriers. Carriers don't want you unlocking your phone and uninstalling all the junk they put there. They make money from that junk. So you need to be discouraged from doing that.

Now, Motorola was actually nice enough to sell phones directly, outside of the carriers, to the general public. These phones are unlocked and easily rooted. That's great!

The cup is half full, not half empty.
[Moto X General] Mastaking:
I hear that and in a Macro way that does make sense, but when I think about it in a selfish Micro way I just can't help but feel that it doesn't make any sense that they would let you keep your warranty if it has the words Developers Edition on your phone.
[Moto X General] Deleted member 2351944:
I'm guessing it's largely about the subsidy. If the carrier is footing the bill for your phone up front, they don't want you running out and doing something they might have to support, thus costing them twice. It's probably easier to void the warranty for all subsidized versions rather than keeping track of who paid full price and who took a subsidy.
[Moto X General] Mastaking:
That's a very good point.
[Moto X General] rfulcher:
EDIT: Yes, you do keep the warranty. Sorry for the misinformation below (retained so that the following replies continue to make sense) :)

You actually DON'T keep warranty with the Dev Ed if you unlock the bootloader.

There's a statement in the box (just got my VZW Moto X DE yesterday) that states as soon as you unlock, you void the warranty and are on your own.

Thus, the only difference is that Motorola willingly gives DE owners the unlock code without having to surreptitiously hack the phone.

I was under the initial impression that you keep warranty. But you do not. Despite whatever the Moto website says.
[Moto X General] Deleted member 2351944:
You do, in fact, keep the warranty. I think it's funny that you say "despite what Moto says" - Moto provides the warranty. Why is what they say not valid?

http://motorola-blog.blogspot.com/2013/11/you-asked-we-listened-announcing.html
[Moto X General] imnuts:
Odds are, the retail packaging was never updated when they made their change.
[Moto X General] rfulcher:
Apparently, that is the case. Mea culpa.

"Despite what Motorola says" I stated because one of the reasons I bought the DE was that I was under the impression that the warranty would be preserved. Then, opening the box and seeing that cautionary pamphlet, I (wrongly) assumed that I had misinterpreted Motorola's website claims regarding the DE. What I didn't do was go back and confirm via Motorola's website.

Sorry for any confusion, and thanks to binary visions and imnuts for the correction!
[Moto X General] planktoid:
The pamphlet is being edited to display the same language we have on the web site on new units. Sorry your unit did not come with an updated psmphlet but the web site language and new legal agreement takes precedence.
[Moto X General] dobbs3x:
Plug phone in, run a couple commands, copy key, goto Motorola's official unlock site, paste code, get email from Motorola, copy another code in that email. Run command. Profit. I think that is pretty much how you unlock the carrier versions. It's not any having and is an official procedure from Motorola. What's the difference for the DE versions?
[Moto X General] Deleted member 2351944:
A) not all the carrier versions can be unlocked, and

B) only the DE versions maintain their warranty after unlocking, as already stated above
[Moto X General] SymbioticGenius:
Don't blame Motorola. Carriers require locked bootloaders. When you get unlocked phones usually you can do whatever you want to it. The warranty thing is a nice addition but I've never broken a phone to the point where I couldn't fix it myself. Personally I don't see an issue with the colors the warranty is just a bonus.

[Moto X General] freak4dell:
We're talking about the carrier variants that can be unlocked. We already know why AT&T and Verizon variants can't be unlocked, and that's completely irrelevant to this thread.
[Moto X General] arcanexvi:
Same premise applies in the poster's comments above you. The carrier doesn't want to encourage this behavior so while they don't stop you from unlocking, they don't want to cover the related warranty issues.
[Moto X General] Jayrod1980:
I can't really see how that is true since t mobile and sprint both have and embrace the nexus program. In fact the t mobile moto x is the XT1053... Same exact phone as the gsm Dev edition save for the words on the back. Hell, if woven white was available through moto maker, I could go build a woven white back and black front phone and have the words "Developer Edition" put on the back and it would simply be the exact same.

I don't really understand the warranty thing with t mobile since a 32gb moto maker x is the exact same price and exact same model with the same process for unlocking. For Verizon I get it because they already have a locked phone policy, but t mobile doesn't. In fact, T-Mobile says they carry the phone but it isn't a T-Mobile branded phone (which is why they don't have Wi-Fi calling on it).

As well, functionality wise, if you want a nice looking unlocked moto x for at&t, you moto make a t mobile version and unlock it.

At least Motorola has a no questions asked return policy. I unlocked mine and was able to return it. Of course I flashed back to stock (huge pain compared to normal fastboot) and relocked it prior to returning. One thing they don't mention is they pay for return shipping, contrary to their website.
[Moto X General] freak4dell:
The carrier has no say in a manufacturer's warranty, especially when the carrier doesn't even sell the phone.
[Moto X General] arcanexvi:
It does as far as warranty facilitation. You will no longer be able to walk into your carrier store for support. You'd need to work with Motorola directly. While you may be covered with Moto, your carrier isn't obligated to assist you.
[Moto X General] freak4dell:
With the US XT1053, you were never able to walk into a carrier store in the first place. T-Mobile does not sell this phone. They will not support it if you walk into a store, regardless of whether you are unlocked or not. And before somebody tries to say that it's still carrier-associated because they have the carrier name on the website when you order, well, so does the Verizon Dev Edition. The warranty is still valid on that when unlocking. Verizon won't help you with that, either, but Motorola will. That's what needs to happen with the T-Mobile X as well.

Sprint is slightly different, but as mentioned, they sell the Nexus phones in their store, which are also not warranty-voided if unlocked. I'm pretty sure they could manage to figure out how to handle the X, too.
