i tried to use rom manager but it doesnt work, odin doesnt work too because my computers cant identify my phone :/ my phone is rooted too and cwm is i dont even know how to tell, i try to go install zip from sd card, no files found thats it
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FPSUsername:
oh, forgot to tell. Your pc is recognizing it as unknown device.

Open device manager and you will see your phone (must be connected).

Open it and update drivers.

If that fails, (re)install kies.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
No......DON'T use ROM manager.....it has been known to cause problems on the S2....not worth the risk.....

And get that USB port replaced BEFORE you attempt to flash anything else......if a flash goes bad, you will NEED that connection between your phone and your PC / laptop in order to recover your phone with Odin.......

If you search for threads created by me, you will find a guide that tells you all you need to know about replacing this part........

This might be my S2, or it might be my W...but it's definitely CM
[General Questions and Answers] emilxp:
Hi. So, I recently buyed a Sencor Element 7 version 3 tablet with Android ICS 4.0.4 and A13 chipset. As a surprise, it was already rooted when I got it from the package. However the firmware's performance was a disaster. Even music chopped and it was horrible. A friend of mine got a tablet with almost, or probably even the same chipset with Android Jelly Bean and it ran perfectly on his one, almost never lagged and ran everything smooth. So, I came to the conclusion that I have to flash Jelly Bean, or something different than the stock firmware.

So, I'm a noobie at Android and tablets in general, so I think I bricked the tablet, or probably soft-bricked it. I installed CWM 5.5.0.4, restarted the tablet and got stuck in it. Doesn't matter what I click, volume up, down and the power button, it always just restarts and get's back to CWM. Probably something with the drivers, I have no idea. It doesn't probably map the keys correctly to their corresponding function, so it's probably not compatible with my tablet. On the bottom shows up some log that says:

CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

I have a microUSB cable for it, I have a microSD, I just need some help with that because I'm totally lost. I'm sorry if my question's already asked and I'm repeating it, but I just can't find a solution.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Anderson2:
I'm just trying to understand.

I know how to make a Nandroid backup using TWRP. And I know I can use this b/u to restore the system.

If, instead of the Nandroid, I copy every thing on the Nexus 7 to my pc, including the root drive, would recopying all those files back to the tablet restore the system in the same way, or not?

How is the Nandroid b/u different?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JTY87:
Is it normal for the proximity sensor to work only while the phone app is open. So for instance, while im in a call and want to go check an email, do i have to reopen the phone app before putting the phone to my ear? Currently while in a call, if anything besides the phone app is on the scrren, the proximity sensor won't work. Is there a setting that i'm missing or is that just the way it is? Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JTY87:
So i just got off the phone wtih someone from samsung and this is normal. This makes relaying info from email, txt message, etc very cumbersome when speakerphone is not an option. I know i sound like a spoiled brat when i say this but i don't understand why the sensor is deactivated when outside the phone app. For people who use bluetooth or speakerphone, do you find yourself covering the prox. sensor when multitasking? Is this an android issue or just a samsung thing? If its only samsung, can they fix this via a firmware update? Is anyone frustrated about this like me? Maybe im just crazy....

But yeah... Almost 8 hours with only an hour and a bit of screen time isn't ideal. I think allot of the motorola stuff is making your Android OS as high as it is. I've got mine down to about a 13 to 16 percent average by the end of my charge.

And if your screen is 50 percent with an hour time In 8 hours, you must be running it pretty bright.

Some people don't want to do the cutbacks I do, which is great.... But it will effect your battery for sure. :)

Ok thanks, I'll try some of these, and Im usually on Auto Brightness.
[Moto X General] Darth:
If you're rooted.... Try xposed, with gravity box module. There's an option to swipe along status bar to change brightness... Really handy and you can keep it as low as you can handle. Will save allot of screen juice.

[Moto X General] Kittiesoncrack:
Not rooted yet. Im waiting for 4.4 for sprint to come, I will ota to that and then root.
[Moto X General] imnuts:
Auto-brightness drains the battery faster. It will cause the phone to poll the light sensor (frequently) and then constantly raise/lower the brightness of the screen. Odds are, you need it adjusted once and set there. Manual brightness doesn't need to poll the sensor or worry about what brightness level to adjust to.
[Moto X General] Kittiesoncrack:
I changed to manual brightness. turned it to about 25%
[Moto X General] calmlydefyinglogic:
The biggest transitional obstacle for me to overcome switching from the Note 3 was battery life. I got simply insane battery life with the Note 3 (around 8hrs SOT consistently) so I expected to be extremely disappointed with the battery life that I would get out of the Moto X. Much to my suprise this Moto X actually gets decent battery life. Honestly, in comparison to any other device other than the N3 it gets downright awesome battery life. I can't complain at all about my daily usage stats. I don't at all feel like my phone is on a leash. I can comfortably just use my device for 8-9:30hrs under heavy use and get 4-5hrs SOT. I'm sure if I adjusted my usage I could get even better battery life but due to my work I have to be on the phone constantly.

I have read some other posts with people saying that the battery life isn't good but I can only assume that they must have some app not functioning properly. Maybe something else is going on due to rooting or even exchange accounts or poor signal strength. I'm not really sure as I can't trouble shoot it myself. I was initially having issues after the Kit Kat update so I performed a few FDR in Recovery and all my issues are fixed. Even better, my battery life is even better now than it was prior to the update.

The other major difference this time around (I've gone into Recovery to FDR my MX twice now) is that I decided to not to use ART and I stuck with Dalvik this go round and it's made a substantial difference regarding battery life. I'll give it a few more days to see how it goes. After I get a good idea of how it performs I'll switch over to ART to see how it performs.

Keep in mind that none of my battery tests are scientific. This is all real world tests and first hand experiences. I just figured this may help someone or even ease a potential Moto X buyers mind a little.
[Moto X General] A2Trip:

[Moto X General] Adam7986:
You should not ever let your battery drain all the way. Lithium Ion batteries can't be calibrated the way Ni-Ca (Nickel Cadmium) batteries used to be able to. In fact draining a lithium ion battery makes your battery health worse and can lower battery life over time if you continually do this. Best to keep it above 20% if possible.

All this time, I thought you need to drain the battery before charging it again..thanks for the info..
[Moto X General] autoprime:
after updating to 4.4 my battery is absolutely terrible. 4.2... id get 4hours screen on time at minimum... holding for 30+ hours total. 4.4.... i'm seeing maybe 2 hours screen on time... holding for les than 20hours total.

wiped... did factory reset... no change. considering going back to 4.2.
[Moto X General] calmlydefyinglogic:
I have a question for you, when you updated to 4.4 did you also switch over to ART from Dalvik. I ran Dalvik for a couple of days and switched over to ART last night and I'm noticing a huge difference in a negative way. I posted in this thread earlier with the type of battery life that I was getting. It was actually pretty decent.

Well, I've been running ART today and my battery life is less than desirable to say the least. I'm not sure what the difference is under the hood but my battery is draining much faster now. I'm going to run the battery down and switch back over to Dalvik to see if that's what is destroying my battery today. It has to be simply because my usage hasn't changed at all. At this rate my phone is going to be completely dead in 2-2:30hrs.
[Moto X General] aooga:
How is that bad? Do I have a defective phone? I have 2.5 hrs screen on time with 46% left. That puts me at around 4 hours screen on time. Isn't that somewhat normal?
[Moto X General] calmlydefyinglogic:
No, what you just described is normal for moderate to heavy usage. That is actually what I normally get which is somewhere between 4-5hrs SOT. My battery has already dropped from 47% to 38% in 20 minutes. I've done nothing but reply to this thread and sent a message to someone. That isn't normal if you ask me. At that rate of discharge my phone will be dead in 1-1:30hrs.

Oh you mean standby time, then yeah thats not normal, but that's what I'm getting too. 4.4 just killed the standby time. Now, it's almost a 3% per hour drop doing nothing with sync and location off. Moto needs to fix this fast.

Sent from my Moto X cell phone telephone...
[Moto X General] calmlydefyinglogic:
You're either not reading my post properly or I'm not being clear enough. I'm not complaining about 4-5hrs screen on time. I'm complaining about the fact that I have 29% battery life left with 2:50 screen on time right now. That isn't normal and it's a pretty big difference from what I normally get running Dalvik instead of ART. Also, if GSAM doesn't need ROOT then why don't any statistics populate?
[Moto X General] :
Ah. As far as I know, gsam and apps like it don't work on 4.4.

That's a deal breaker for me with 4.4....One of many. My N7 is staying on 4.2.2 as well.

Workout gsam... It's much harder to know what's killing your battery. There's nothing obvious in the battery screen in settings?

That said.... As soon as you discovered your battery was plummeting... Did you reboot? Many times that will stop a system app or other app that's got stuck awake and eating the battery. Speaking of that...in the battery screen if you go to the graphs... Is your awake bar solid? Or does it roughly match your screen bar?

Sent from my Moto X cell phone telephone...

---------- Post added at 02:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:31 PM ----------

Yeah... Gsam with 4.4 needs a helper app.... That app requires root.

Anyway... Without root... There's only so much you can do to control battery drain. All the best ways to save battery require root. You're kinda at Androids mercy when you're unrooted . :)

Sent from my Moto X cell phone telephone...
[Moto X General] calmlydefyinglogic:
I didn't think that battery statistics apps worked on 4.4. I haven't done a reboot yet as I'm trying to see how long the battery lasts under normal usage. When I do reboot I'll be switching back over to Dalvik for now. Though I'm contemplating using RSD and flashing 4.2 for now until they get 4.4 sorted out. My awake time isn't a solid bar but it's definitely awake.
[Moto X General] :
Your awake time seems in line with your screen time. So not much going wrong there.

Instapaper, whatever that is has taken a big chunk of your Battery.

Sorry.... Missed that screen shot when I asked your top apps.

Sent from my Moto X cell phone telephone...
[Moto X General] calmlydefyinglogic:
Well Instapaper is an app similar to Pocket which is to say that you can save different types of articles or videos to watch/read later. I haven't really used it that much and definitely not more than usual. I haven't used navigation or played any games or even watched any videos. Now I do have Assist on and it has activated when I drove to work and then drove to another location. That's it though as far as usage today.

Its just draining much faster than it has since I've gotten the phone a little over one week ago. Also, I never experienced battery life on 4.2 because I immediately updated to 4.4. Either way, this is unacceptable and I need to figure out what's going on. I'll see what happens when I switch back to Dalvik.
[Moto X General] :
Well Instapaper is eating some battery.

And gps is too, it's got little blue lines from one end of your graph bar to the other. That's why I keep mine off.... Unless I need it.

I can't say with the moto x as well, but if I left gps on on my s2....my battery lasted half as long. Not even purposely using it.

Anyway.... 4.2.2 will help.... Even just for the fact that you can use gsam.

Why aren't you rooting? Just curious. :)

[Moto X General] bclenney:
Dont bother going back to Dalvik. It makes no difference. I've had the same issue on both runtimes.
[Moto X General] calmlydefyinglogic:
Well, I don't really want to shut off GPS as that will kill certain features of the Moto X. Why even have a smartphone if I'm going to have to micromanage my battery life. Battery technology seems to be the one lagging behind everything else. Unless you have a monster sized battery like the Note 3 has then battery life always seems to leave something to be desired. I'm surprised that this Moto X doesn't have even better battery life than it currently has being its pretty much stock build. I think that I'm going to switch back to Dalvik and run it that way for a few days and if all else fails I'll RSD back to 4.2 until 4.4 is sorted out. Motorola seems to be pretty on top of updates so I'm hoping that it's a quick fix.

---------- Post added at 02:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:23 PM ----------

Well, I'm positive that I get better battery life running Dalvik as I have the screen shots to prove it. So I'll give that a go for a couple of days and then think about flashing 4.2.

That battery life isn't bad at all considering the battery size. Plus it's quite a bit better than similar Android smartphones currently available.

[Moto X General] calmlydefyinglogic:
I can't believe that I overlooked that setting. Much appreciated and much needed. I turned it off so lets see how things go now.
[Moto X General] calmlydefyinglogic:
Things have gone much better today after going to the process I described earlier.

Prior to doing any of this I charged to 100% and made sure that I was switched back over to Dalvik from ART.

Just to recap, I booted into Recovery (power off, press and hold VOL UP+PWR for 2 sec then let go), scroll to Recover and press VOL UP, once booted into Recovery scroll down to Factory Data WIPE and press the POWER button (I usually wipe 4 times because I'm OCD), then scroll down to WIPE CACHE PARTITION and wipe which will cause your Moto X to reboot. Then just skip past all the sign in setup and then go to the Settings menu and be sure to jump into Backup & Reset first and turn off Automatic Restore and then log into your Google account. After that you should be good to go.

Then you can start installing apps again a few at a time if you really want to be thorough and watch battery drain every hour and install additional apps. This is what I did and I'm not seeing the terrible battery life that I was prior to doing all this. The only app that I didn't reinstall was Instapaper. So far so good but I'll keep you updated.

[General Topics] hanmin:
the 'safe to disconnect' thing was mainly used previously where windows have a feature of caching the write files on pc (rather than the usb drive) for fast writing. however, as far as I know, these days, they don't do caching any more and relatively, as long as the usb device light is not blinking (in the case of activesync, the icon it not 'moving'), you can just disconnect it.

that is how windows worked in the past, is that windows xp too?
