Hi ,

I have found a 10 pin chip that has had a few of the pins melted together.The chip is close to the reset button at the bottom of the board and has a piece of orange type plastic over it.

Is there anyone who knows what this chip is and what it is for.I can see the analog devices logo on it but the rest of it is unreadable.

regards

nick

[Moto X Q&A] Julianocas:
Well... we are really grateful for this new Motorola been so attentive with us in order to provide the Kit Kat as fast as a Nexus device. But...

... as I'm reading about 4.4.1 and 4.4.2, these updates are major bug hunters, and not only a camera fix as "Google" says.

So, are Motorola working to implement this minor for us? Does anyone have an idea about it or can ask to Moto Care if there is any attempt from Moto about it?

The help desk from Moto here in Brazil is one step behind from US one cause we are partially receiving 4.4 by these days, so if 4.4 is something new to then to handle, imagine 4.4.2.

I made some research on news but unsuccessful.
[Moto X Q&A] Steve-x:
This is likely why most other companies don't rush to release a new version of Android. They will go through all the effort of packaging, testing and releasing only to be screwed by Google a week later with a new update. I doubt the carriers like it either, as they like to test stuff.

Once something has been out for a bit and the major bugs are dealt with then it would be much easier to release. This is a bit of a flaw in how Google's android model works.

It would be much more ideal for Motorola to have adopted the Apple model where they release a new build and don't really care much what the carrier thinks.

I am sure someone at Motorola is already working with 4.4.2 but considering the number of carriers that don't have 4.4 yet it is hard to say what they will do. Maybe they will hold off on them and switch to a 4.4.2 build for the ones who haven't received 4.4 yet.

To keep up with the new android releases, the bloatware some carriers insist upon, builds for the different hardware models and then a huge number of different carriers must be quite the fun project to manage.
[Moto X Q&A] dobbs3x:
I heard that the 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 updates only had fixes for the nexuses devices and wont be pushed to any other kit kat devices
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
Kit kat blows. That's my scientific analysis. Doesn't matter what device section you go to.... You will read about a lot of bugs. They "almost" squashed flash. It locks some brands boot loaders... From what I recall. They are trying to stop root. They are trying to stop 3rd party battery analysis apps.... Etc... Etc. Basically they seem to be trying to squash development.... Oh... Unless you buy a special developer model of a brand. Lol

Anyway.... My point is... 4.4 is awful. Let's hope they do a better job with 5.0. And they stop leaning toward the apple philosophy of not letting people "play" with their phones. ;)

Every device section I follow has threads about kit kat... And when will they get it. Then when they do, theirs tonnes of negative threads about it. :)

4.2.2.....the last best version. At this point.

Not really... 4.4.1 was a big update regarding KitKat performance and bugfixes...

You can check the commits to see that they've changed A LOT of stuff in Android framework...

We definitely MUST have the 4.4.2 update... 4.4 is a bit laggy... 4.2.2 was much more stable...

Buy a Developer edition so you have a unlocked boot loader. If you buy retail expect it to be locked down and lucky if a exploit is found.
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
I have the Rogers version... I'm all unlocked. ;)

I was talking about devices in general. Google and the carriers are making it tough on people to unlock... Root... Etc.... On many devices.

I have zero problems with my Moto X. I was knocking 4.4 and the direction Android in general seems to be heading. :)

[Moto X Q&A] imnuts:
There is a reason that Google, manufacturers and carriers are making devices more and more secure. There is demand for it. People don't want insecure devices that someone can randomly access. Or, the want a secure phone that is good for both personal and business use. While you say it's bad, it isn't. I'm not sure why you think a secure device is a bad thing, or why you expect the initial software release to be bug free. I don't think there has been an Android release yet that hasn't seen a few quick incremental updates just after initial release to fix bugs.

Also, 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 are more than just "Nexus updates". Sure, the updates mainly apply to Nexus phones because they're the only ones running 4.4.0 really, other than the Moto X. There is a lot of stuff fixed that will apply to all devices running the software, not just Nexus phones.
[Moto X Q&A] King Speedy:
The HTC One GPE 4.4.2 rollout is in progress, so it's definitely coming to non-Nexus phones.
[Moto X Q&A] Jason.DROID:
To add to that, Google also has an obligation to fix root exploits (and they are exploits on locked devices; Nexus devices will always be developer devices at heart) now that they offer TV Shows and Movies in the Play Store. Some app developers (game developers usually) also had to implement nasty DRM because of pirating, which sucks because a lot of games have to "check-in" to verify the license; so, if you don't have internet at the time of check-in, you don't get to play. The more Google can control on MAINSTREAM devices, the better for their long term contracts with studios (music, movies, television) and publishers (magazines, books).

I used to NEED root, but the Moto X actually changed my mind about that.
[Moto X Q&A] rockingondrums:
No, it wouldn't have because no other mobile OEM in the world has the kind of sway with carriers that Apple has. Apple blew open the mobile industry. Don't forget that. As much as I love android, those are the facts. Sure, I'd love for that to change sooner rather than later. You can see small battles over this happening all the time. N7 2013 has the chips for VZW LTE bands. VZW suddenly decided not to activate N7s on their network. A customer would essentially have to nag and harass VZW to get it activated. Or, you could take an already activated LTE VZW sim and just pop it in.

There are many battles being waged that you may not be aware of. It's unlikely someone will win the war soon. But join the battle by voting with your wallet.
[Moto X Q&A] Toys Samurai:
This is simply not true. Following the history of previous Android release, the .0 release always came with a lot of small bugs. Otherwise, there won't be any subsequent point releases. For example, 4.2 was released on 11/13/2012, just 14 days later, there was a 4.2.1 release.
[Moto X Q&A] Steve-x:
I never said it was realistic, but I would prefer it if it were possible. My carrier doesn't even sell the Moto X, I had to buy one from another carrier and unlock it. No developer edition or motomaker in Canada either.

We certainly don't want to turn this thread towards apple but I'm pleased to say I am 100% apple free and also 100% cellphone contract free.
[Moto X Q&A] rockingondrums:
Nice! I'm working on it: I suspended my VZW accounts, trying out tmo prepaid. I can't lie though, I'm very interested in seeing the effects of the bandwidth improvements vz made in my area. Another local xda user posted a speedtest screen that was 3x the performance of vz at it's peak. Maybe I'll borrow a sim from a friend...
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
That's exactly what I did. Wanted to replace my s2...and buy a phone outright and say goodbye to contacts. I'm on telus. Did a tonne of reading, reviews and articles and XDA of course. Was between the G2, HTC one and the moto x. Decided on the X. And couldn't be happier. :)

For the Rogers version, unlocked sim, then boot loader... And rooted. The phone blows me away.

This is just stupid:

You read about a lot of bugs everywhere.

Gosh, imagine that, an incompatible and unsupported app doesn't work. Bad Google, bad! You should be designing your OS to work with random unsupported apps that are no longer in development!

You recall wrong.

You know that rooting on non-dev phones is executing a security exploit, right? That it's a vulnerability in the phone? That leaving it open would actually be the worst thing to do?

Everything about your "scientific analysis" is wrong. Go back to the drawing board.

today i bought an ouya with a new led monitor, The phillips 274e5. The monitor has build in speakers and two hdmi ports: one with the mhl fucntion and one with just the hdmi. When i start the uoya on the screen, i get no sound at all.

I already checked the settings and every volume slider is up. also, the speakers are not muted and working properly.

I also tried with various other hdmi cables, but none of them enables the sound of the uoya :(

Hi Guys,

I have recently just got S-Off on my HTC One after several tries, and I was so happy about it. I went then to download Android Revolution HD Google Play Edition to flash on my phone.

I have successfully the rom on my phone without any problem, I even did a wipe with dalvik cache and etc..

The problem is that when I press reboot it goes on to the Boot up screen where it shows HTC One Quietly Brilliant boot up screen with white background, it stays on that for about 20 seconds then it turns off and then reboots into recovery. I do not know what this is happening, could anybody explain to me.

Thank You

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] formeriphoneuser:
Hi guys,

unfortunately I had to revert back to one of my backups I made as a custom kernel was causing problems. So, I tried to restore a Nandroid backup I made, but that didn't restore my apps and had to go through the standard Google setup (like a had a brand new phone).

I tried again wiping wipe cache, Dalvik cache etc. before restore, but still no restore even though I didn't encounter any problems restoring. I checked the nandroid directory and the files it backed up were these (total size approx. 2 GB)

boot.emmc.win

boot.emmc.win.md5

cache.ext4.win

cache.ext4.win.md5

data.ext4.win000

data.ext4.win000.md5

data.ext4.win001

data.ext4.win001.md5

recovery.emmc.win

recovery.emmc.win.md5

recovery.log

system.ext4.win

system.ext4.win.md5

I'm currently on 4.4.2 with stock kernel (3.4.0.gadb2201), Build no. KOT49H

Any suggestions what the problem could be?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangekid:
Highlighted above in red would be the files that have your apps etc.

Run a restore again, and ONLY restore data, see if that helps out.

It should have restored everything unless you just restored boot or system.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
btw, since you were just restoring because of a custom kernel, you didnt have to restore anything. all you had to do is flash the stock kernel(or any other kernel) witbout wiping anything, or just reflash your rom without wiping anything. you wouldnt have lost a thing nor have this headache. but, you chose to do it the wrong way.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] formeriphoneuser:
Flashing the stock kernel did work, but after flashing the OTA and rooting caused problems. So I had no choice : (
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] formeriphoneuser:
Nope, that didn't work either :crying: The files you highlighted are big files, which means it did back something up.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
sounds like your nandroid file got corrupted
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangekid:
Those are your data files. It looks like it backed it up fine.

From all accounts, it should be restoring your ROM 100% as you left it. I really don't get why it wouldn't be doing it with the apps.

you would think so, but he's got MD5 files. How is it accepting an MD5 and still be corrupt?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Good point if it's checking the md5
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] formeriphoneuser:
Yeah, I even activated the MD5 verification in TWRP and I get no errors during the restoring process...I could try an older nandroid backup to see if that makes any difference.

I'm glad I don't just rely on nandroid backups (even though I never restored one).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangekid:
I always do mybackup root to save my apps / data as well as nandroid.

Yeah try restoring an older one.

Also try reflashing TWRP
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] formeriphoneuser:
Reflashed TWRP and tried again. Same issue. Although the older nandroid took forever and after 45 min. I just shut off the phone as it was going nowhere (status didn't move for that period).

All this makes no sense whatsoever...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Were the nandroids made on twrp 2.6.3.4 or an earlier version?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] formeriphoneuser:
Actuatelly I used this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.h3r3t1c.onnandbup
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Now it's making some sense a nandroid isn't necessarily the same depending on how it's created. For instance a nandroid created on cwm is not compatible with twrp and visa versa
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
As a plan B, you could try Titanium Backup which is capable of extracting apps & app data from nandroid backups. I think the feature requires TB Pro. Takes a while for it to unpack and parse everything, but it could be your best shot at getting a reasonably good restoration.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] formeriphoneuser:
Thx for all the help guys! Truely appreciate the guidance.

What I didn't know is the nandroid backups I did were compressed. So I decompressed these, but after trying to restore these in TWRP no luck. I can however open and browse these in the nandroid backup manager or TI backup. I'm currently trying to restore the nandroid apps via nandroid backup manager. I'll let you guys know how that turns out.

I'm not sure what the difference between the TI app backup I have is and the current nandroid app+app data restore option would be. Isn't this essential the same thing the TI restore does with the apps?

And for the future what nandroid backup works reliably and would you recommend? I pretty paranoid about making backups, but I seem to have lost quite some confidence in nandroid backup, as it has failed me :( This has been a royal PITA....
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] formeriphoneuser:
Also do you find Mybackup better than TI Pro root?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
I have always used a custom recovery for backups and have never had a problem. I use twrp, but that's just my preference. Cwm is good too
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
If you didn't already have a Titanium backup, extracting from the nandroid is a good last resort to have.

The main difference between extracting with Titanium and a full nandroid restore - the latter is very sensitive to small differences in backup format, and can only be restored all at once. In general you shouldn't expect to successfully restore a nandroid in recovery if you created it using a different recovery or an app. If you create with TWRP, it should restore properly with TWRP.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave2metz:
I always use Titanium Backup before I flash or backup anything. Then I restore my apps with no problems. It is a bit unusual for your apps not to be in your nandroid backup since it's basically like taking a picture of your phone and storing everything on it. I've never had this problem with TWRP. Hopefully you can figure it out...

In my case probably I will solve with a fix from the update, but in your case, you will never fix it so if the phone is new with warranty, go now for a replacement, specially for the hue and dead pixels, maybe your are lucky and they will give you another device.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kewkie:
Hey there,

i'm having my HTC for around 2 months now and never hold a senserom more than 15 minutes.

So, no matter on what forum i look, sense roms are much more popular and famous than GPE or even CM roms.

With my older Phones (Galaxy ace, Galaxy S plus, Galaxy S3) CM roms were (or still are) more popular, but on the HTC sense roms are much more popular. Whats the point?

I mean.. ok no doubt, the sense camera is awesome! But blinkfeed? Who needs it? Or at least who is using it?

Other than that.. Beats audio? GPE Rom has it too, just without the icon on the statusbar.

GPE Roms are faster and not full of bloat (IMO!)

So what's the real point behind this?

It's NOT a fighting thread or a thread like "OMG! Sense roms suck QQ mimimi" NO! I just want to know why you guys like sense roms much more? I'm just curious :)
