[Sprint LG Optimus G] Critical Detox:
You'd be getting a sprint variant presumably right? The LS980 dev forums could use a little pick me up, roms are being built for multiple variants in one, and while thats cool and all, it would be nice to see LS980 specific roms/kernels. Since the N5 community is over saturated to be honest, another dev wouldn't matter much on the N5 seeing as everything over there has been built or is in the process. On the G2 however a new dev would be more appreciated seeing as there only a handful comparatively speaking of devs working on the sprint variant, hope this gives you some help on your decision! :)

I love being able to contribute by building ROMs, but I have been super busy with life and work. I am happy with my decision to get the optimus g, but with 4.4 ROMs and most ROMs in general being glitchy it really makes me want the nexus so I can be constantly updated without many issues. I agree that the nexus won't need anymore devs, but maybe that's not a bad thing for me. I already feel bad when I don't have enough time to get something out to you guys.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Code-Craft:
I'm thinking of going with the nexus 5, i orderered one from the playstore for my mothers x-mas present and it showed up yesterday. its fast and light as hell. I'm seriously thinking that not having a contract anymore and a cheaper phone bill would be nice.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] Critical Detox:
Even if you don't have the time to bring something to the table now, It's still pleasing to know that at some point you'll have time, should you join us over on the LS980 that is. It's not the quantity of releases that matters most, it's the quality. And right now we don't have much of either for LS980.

I personally may be going with the Nexus 5. Until then, you'll be missed on this forum. (I'm assuming you'll stop deving for us if you get a new phone to focus on)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] droidmk:
Tempting. Sprint is being stupid as usual about working with me to stay a customer. I might be switching to t mobile. I heard that their data speeds are good but voice service sucks. Can anyone comment on that? I have been having terrible service with sprint lately and no 4g where I live so t mobile might be a huge upgrade.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] micmars:
I'd think it fitting to do exactly and only what is right for you, and no one else.

As to voice + data services, these vary by region of the country. It took 2 years where I live for Sprint to go from selling 4G LTE phones and charging for them monthly to actually delivering on it. Now, I couldn't be happier with the data and voice quality (though voice has never been an issue where I reside).

T-Mobile may be great where you live, and based on what you've stated about wanting time for you and wanting a trouble-free update experience, go with the Nexus 5 and be done with it.

I wish you luck.

I appreciate all the opinions and thoughts. I ended up going with the nexus 5 on t mobile. I did the jump program so maybe in 6 months if I have the urge to contribute more I will try something different.

Hello,

I need your help with my battery life, i am running 4.4.2 (everything is stock, Google now is dissabled, and no apps where running in background) on my N5 and since i updated my battery life is juster terrible. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Before i updated and i was running 4.4 my battery life was realy great.

here are some screenshots of my battery life with 4.4.2.:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inspiron41:
i get similar results since upgrading to 4.4.2. From what i see it has to do with a combination of google play services and/or google now. it's driving me nuts too. My device is rooted, no custom rom or kernel, Greenify and Snapdragon Pro battery save app and im getting terrible results. What use to be a typical 10% drain by the end of the day (minimal usage), now i'm getting 50% drain by the end of the day. I only seem improvements after rebooting my device.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LegendaryLengend:
I dont think so, i have GoogleNow dissabled but my battery still dies very quick :/
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inspiron41:
yeah i'm with you, i even disable google now and i'm getting similar energy drain rates too...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LegendaryLengend:
Ohh okay, so noone figgured out what causes it? Or how to improve the batterylife? I cant seem to find anything on several forums...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
battery life is dependent on how you personally set up your device, what apps you have installed, how you manage your apps, and, very importantly, the quality of your phone/data connection plays a huge role in battery life(huge might be an understatement).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NotFromMountainView:
My battery is also worse with 4.2.2 -- not catastrophic, but probably a good 15% (roughly) performance drop. What I've noticed, but haven't seen any other mention of, is a tremendous increase in the number of wakes when the phone should be sleeping. With 4.2 it slept like a baby, barely sipping any juice at all, but now it's doing something every few minutes. I am pure stock, unrooted, no custom anything and don't have facebook. Just about everything's turned on -- as it was under 4.2. My only 'exotic' app is Chrome beta which does seem to be a battery hog, but that shouldn't account for this aspect of performance.

(added per comment above) Phone/data connections are identical from 4.2/4.2.2 so it is the update -- or probably just as likely, some app that needs tweaking to play nice with 4.2.2
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illhangon:
I had the same problem after updating to 4.4.2. Turning "Backup my data" under "Backup & reset" off worked for me.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JamieFL:
I have read in other XDA forums that 4.4.2 may be more honest about battery usage now where before it was front loading battery stats to give the illusion of better performance.

I believe most cell phone manufacturers and carriers regularly do this with battery stats and signal strength.

What is important is your individual performance. Looks like your battery is at about 70% after 9.5 hours. What is wrong with that?

It was over night and i had a screen on time oft 2 Minutes and the battery still droppes a whooping 30%... Thats not normal
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moomingstarz:
I feel like my phones battery life has gotten better. I can get about 3-3.5 hours of screen time on my battery, ~17 hours. Reset the phone and don't install any apps, to see how its working. Are you getting signal all the time? Or is it jumping in and out? Because if it is, it'll drain the battery too
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanyewest:
These are my battery stats... They suck
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gado45:
50% less in two hours, no games, just whatsapp and spotify, screen at min. Worst battery life I've had in Android phones
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxpower7:
My battery life is excellent on this phone, and the majority of the time it's better than any other phone that I've owned (12 of them, to be exact).....and then either Google + or Chrome will start running really aggressively in the background and kill 20% of my battery within the space of a half hour. This happens even when I haven't actually opened either app. It doesn't happen often, and a reboot seems to fix it, but it's really, really annoying.

But yeah, fantastic battery life other than that issue.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] housry23:
Disable location reporting. This should help. I notice a huge difference. Also, when I have Facebook installed, I seem to get terrible battery life compared to when I just use it in the browser.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxpower7:
Disabling location reporting is one of the first things I do on any new phone. It's not worth the battery drain you end up having, and Google Now works fine without it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wantabe:
I've actually been surprised with how good the battery life is at times but I have to admit it's not always very consistent.

Wi-Fi is on during sleep "Only when plugged in" and "Scanning always available" is off.

Location Mode is "battery saving" unless I need to use google nav.

Location reporting on, history off and I am not using google now. Also using Nova Launcher.

Not using Facebook, Google+ or Twitter.

Using Xposed Framework with the paid version of Greenify. Google Search, Hangouts, Keep and YouTube are the only "system" apps I have "Hibernated."

[HD2 General] Darkmasterhk:
Hello,

I got a hd2 from a friend and get some problems with it. Sometimes it freezes and starts to heat up (extremly).

While doing so it eats up a lot of energy the battery goes down in no time.

I'm not sure what causes this behavior, first I thought it's due to heat (happens more often in summer) but

if the cpu overheats shouldn't it stop working and reboot/shutdown :confused:

Rom / Kernel / System (Android/Windows) doesn't matter happens anyway, expect for stock.

Hi,

Does anyone else have trouble sending files by bluetooth with Resco Explorer or contacts stored on their phone by bluetooth.

I have tried this loads of times, the standard file explorer that comes with the vario will send fiels by bluetooth which I find strange.

Does anyone know if this is an error with all wizards or just mine

thanks

i'm using resco explorer for sometime now and i have absolutely no problem with sending any file i want through bt, i have the kjam.

actually, i found it better than the original explorer since i have absolutely the opposite case than yours, sometimes the regular explorer doesn't send a file while i can send it no trouble at all with resco.

Do you know what version you are using I think Mine is Resco Explorer 5.22.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
First using version 1 Odin3, is not ideal for this Device, second you should use CF rooting kernel based on the ROM you had on your Device.

The Best way to do it, follow this and flash the Gingerbread JVU ROM on it and after that the Rooting kernel.

Before doing this, save all your data to your PC first , just use USB storage mode and Copy everything to PC first as flash a ROM would erase all your data

[Moto G General] myvudon:
I rooted my Moto G (Android 4.3, german) with your video and all works fine.

But just in the moment, there come a message that I could upgrade to version 4.4. This I have done. However, the update process does not work. CWM will always report that the file is not signed. If I want to install them nevertheless, it aborts with an file error. Unfortunately, my phone now reboots after each start and tried to install the update. I need help! :( What can I do?
[Moto G General] Tomsgt:
you can fastboot restore the device to 4.4.2 to get it updated or just install a rom like CM11 which is based on 4.4.2
[Moto G General] myvudon:
What makes more sense for the future? Do I need to do anything complicated each time I update the original operating system?

If so, then I switch to CM.
[Moto G General] myvudon:
I cannot install cm, because I have no chance to download the zip file. My phone constantly performs a reboot.

How can I fastboot restore the device to 4.4.2? Is there a way without lock the phone again? In your unbrick video you used a batch-file named "Restore US-retail_XT1032_KXB20.9-1.8-1.4_CFC.bat". Can I use the file also for german phones?

Excuse the newbie questions. I always try to study a new subject until I can properly understand it. Your videos are ideal for this.

Your Videos Rock!

Tomsgt, a little history of myself. I'm a pretty techie person but haven't worked with a Linux variant since I modified a Linksys network storage device (NSLU2 or Slug) and installed a music server maybe 8 years ago. So when I purchased a Boost Moto G I paid Jay Solo (GPz1100 on kittyforums.net) to do a remote permanent flash/mod so I could use it with PagePlus. As I watched him run his scripts and do some manual work I was convinced that the process was beyond me. The mod went great and I've been loving the phone. Very well worth what I paid for the mod.

I like the Moto G so well I decided I wanted one to replace my aging iPod Touch - no cell access, just a nice mini-tablet. Jay gave me the encouragement to try it myself - so I found this tread and watched your awesome videos. Yesterday I took advantage of the Boost Mobile $100 off promotion and picked up another Moto G. Out the door cost was just under $50 with taxes. Last evening I worked for less than 3 hours, watching your videos, playing with the phone, and repeating as needed. The result? I now have a fully operational unlocked, rooted, totally awesome phone that I flashed myself - all thanks to your videos! I tried using the nifty looking EHNDROIX rom and could not get it to load past the "select a language" screen - but as you recommended, I had created a recovery backup using TWRP. I then flashed the CM11 rom and never looked back.

Thank you again for making what seemed like a daunting process easily accessible to even a noob!
