I dont think even Motoluxe could be used as Wifi repeater. I havent seen phone with 2 way wifi

Do you mean wifi tethering? Yes, it has option of being an hotspot for the mobile Internet.

[MENTION=5514711]enrique097[/MENTION], wifi repeater is a small device (u can even connect to wall) which extends the wifi signal. It takes the signal and passes further.

I have been using Otterbox defend cases for pretty much all my previous phones from iPhone 4, HTC One X and Galaxy S3.

I like its quality. I just got a Nexus 5, tried to find Otterbox case for N5, I am not able find.

Looks like Otterbox does not make cases for N4 and N5. Any reason for this.

Which case is similar to Otterbox defend ?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tyler.durden:
Forgot they weren't making any Otterbox cases for this phone. Try this one: http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/google-nexus-5-ballistic-sg-maxx-series-case
[Nexus 5 Accessories] firemedic1343:
I've always been happier with the quality of Ballistic. No real loss in my opinion.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] BigOkie:
I actually like the Otterbox as I've had for the last four phones I've owned.

However, the Ballistic SG Maxx is a good case. Even the i-Blason Armorbox protected me from two drops. But I'm using the Ballistic now because I like having a pocket/belt holster.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Brushstroke:
I'm having a problem flashing a custom recovery on my Nexus 7. I'm trying to install the TWRP recovery for the "flo" version and it doesn't seem to install. I mean, it says it does in fastboot mode but when I reboot to recovery it goes to the stock recovery instead (the green android with the red triangle) and just stays on that screen for minutes. What gives?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] meekrawb:
You used

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Brushstroke:
Yep. Solved it though. Apparently in 4.4 they've made it so that the device will replace TWRP with the stock recovery immediately after rebooting if you don't boot into TWRP immediately after installing it using:

fastboot boot name-of-recovery.img

Then you have to change the name of a file while in TWRP. In TWRP go to Mount and select System. Then go back to the main screen and press Advanced > File Manager. Browse to /system and select a file named recovery-from-boot.p and rename it to recovery-from-boot.bak. And you should be able to go into TWRP like normal.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] cm11783:
Could you please describe this procedure detailed?

Where can I find the "Mount" option?

Must my device being rooted?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Jbrimb:
Some tricks for you guys if you are stuck like I was :

-if you can't boot to custom recovery, try naming your custom recovery img "recovery.img" instead of "twrp.img" when you flash it.

so --> "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" will be the command you execute.

-if you can't flash recovery at all, try executing the command without the phone plugged, then plug the device when you see the prompt "<waiting for any device>"

Hope this helps !
[Moto X Q&A] jessicahll:
I am contemplating using my upgrade for this phone. I am coming from a Galaxy S3 on VZW. MOST of the reviews I've read on VZW or Amazon have been pretty good.

How's battery life? Is it difficult to root (for backup purposes)? It looks to be a fairly vanilla Android; is it? Is 16 GB enough for you, should I look for a 32 GB?
[Moto X Q&A] Solutions Etcetera:
Game changers for me...

Radios: I live in a fringe area and always had dead spots around home and in town with my Nexus 4. Not anymore!

Trusted Bluetooth/Skip: Now have the best of both worlds... keeping my phone secure with a password, and not having to mess with it when I am home and in the car.

Speaker/Mics: Speakerphone is the best I have ever used in a smartphone. Folks I talk to over it don't even know I am on speaker... even in my truck. Plus I can actually listen to podcasts on speaker.

Camera: Love having to just shake it to open the camera app, and touch anywhere to snap. I find myself using the camera more and more.

Other things I like...

Active Notifications: Love them.

Touchless Control: Like in the commercial with the guy talking to the phone on the nightstand. It works that well. Still learning to use it more and more everyday.

Cons...

Display: Hard to see it in sunlight.

Camera: While the camera is capable of very good results, the always on auto white balance is often fooled (but it is simple to fix in post). Also miss Photosphere, and the ability to take smaller dimensioned photos and vids.

Can't comment on rooting... I have no need. And I have never needed more than 16GB on a phone (but I don't keep a lot music and vids on it). I have everything I need on it and still have over 8 GB free space.

Simply... it is the best smart phone I have ever had (Nexus, iPhone). It is the perfect size and feel, and just addresses some usability issues other phones don't... plus the actual "phone" part of it is stellar (where way too many smartphones are just barely acceptable).
[Moto X Q&A] nhizzat:
1. Battery life is better than the S3

2. I personally don't think it was difficult

3. It is mostly vanilla with some fantastic add-ons from Moto

4. 32gb
[Moto X Q&A] Swiftb12305:
Agreed besides the storsge part is up to the OP and there needs, im coming from a Nexus 4 which i loved dearly but my moto x is great and i love how the added on features are useful.Feels great in the hand also better than than nexus 4 imo and S3
[Moto X Q&A] jessicahll:
Thanks, guys! I appreciate the input. A lot of the posts are old and I was looking for some more recent opinions. How is the camera? The MP is higher, but I've been reading that the pics aren't that great. I take A LOT of photos with my phone.
[Moto X Q&A] Solutions Etcetera:
If you know how to take good photos, the camera rarely disappoints, but is not very good at makingbad photos good (ala iPhone, Galaxy).

Compared to your S3, you'll see less saturation and less in-camera sharpening applied, and as previously stated, white balance can be off in tricky light. The look is decidedly Nikon, as opposed to iPhone and galaxy's Olympus look. As a Nikon fan, I see some advantages to the less aggressive exposure and post processing, but quick and dirty snapshots will more often than not, be more pleasing from an S3 or iPhone.

There is a photo thread here with plenty of examples of how good (and bad) it can be.
[Moto X Q&A] badguy6916:
I LOVE my X. I personally have the VZW dev edition and can't say a bad thing about the device. As mentioned, the camera might not have the post-processing of some phones, but that's not a deal breaker for me. The touchless controls make the phone though. soo much safer for hands free EVERYTHING.
[Moto X Q&A] RenSoAbrupt:
The X is smartphone done right. Everyone that checks mines out always comment on how nice and how much they like it. It honestly was worth the $400 no doubt about it. Worthy investment. Motorola regained me as a customer after not having a phone of theirs since Jr school.

Take mines and everyone's thoughts about it old or new. It does not disappoint.

Can any one walk me through the steps of unlocking my Rogers Samsung Galaxy Mega SGH-I527M. I was trying to root it and got to the step of placing it into Download Mode and it wasn't allowing me to do so. (Volume down+Home+Power) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Merry Christmas to all.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
Volume down + power.

Or activate usb debugging on your phone and type this in a terminal. There will be a popup on the phone on running the command. Click ok. Your bootloader is unlocked, right?

adb reboot bootloader
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] 4329Jomel:
Hi tried the Volume Down and Power with no joy. I have the USB debugging selected but not sure what you mean by these instructions. Could you kindly walk me through them. Sorry I'm a nubie.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
Do you have root? If yes, then try this app.

Or

Shutdown phone. Press and hold power button. When you feel the phone vibrate, press volume down. You will see a screen with a warning. Press volume up.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] 4329Jomel:
Yes I have root and downloaded the app. I granted the app access and continued to select boot loader. But once again it went to a black screen with no msg or icon. :(

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Robrecht:
Hello,

I'm considering buying me a pair of Bluetake i-PHONO mini BT Headphones. In order to stream music to them through Bluetooth, I need a2dp functionality, and AVRCP would be nice too (to control Windows Media Player with the buttons on the headphones).

However, I have no idea how to get this functionality on my phone. I searched these forums and found a large thread about a Bluetooth patch for the Magician (it's still active in the Magician forum). Against better judgment, I took the risk of installing this patch on my Blue Angel, but it didn't add any Bluetooth features and I couldn't remove it, so I'm currently restoring a full backup I fortunately made...

So apparently the patch isn't for Blue Angels.

Is there another way to add a2dp and AVRCP to my device? I have ROM 1.40, radio ROM 1.12 and Bluetooth stack 3900.

There are some threads about this in the Blue Angel forum, but none was very helpful, I'm afraid...

Thanks for any tips.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] hexus0:
SAME PROBLEM

i have the same problem, i just bought a set of BT headphones for streaming music and answering phone calls, but i cant stream music because of the lack of A2DP. Ive been looking everywhere and cant find anything, I duno if anyone else has a resolution.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Robrecht:
Check out this thread. The links don't seem to work, but if you examine them you can see in which folders to look on the ftp-site (ftp.xda-developers.com; login with xda, password xda). It worked for me.

If you have Windows Media Player 10 on your pocket pc, you'll need a hack to enable the headset control buttons (play/pause etc.) Look at my post a little further down in the thread.

Good luck...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] hexus0:
THANKS, worked great, what about AVRCP? is there a little addon CAB file?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Robrecht:
:D Glad it worked!

AVRCP is for remote controlling the media player (play/pause, next/previous track) with the buttons on the headset, right? It's included in the A2DP profile. At least it works for me, but I had to do a little hack because I have WMP 10. If you have WMP 9, I think it should work without the hack.

This is what you need to do (I copied it from another thread). You'll need a registry editor; Resco Explorer 2005 has one, but there are others.

Hope this does the trick for you!

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
You're just wanting to pull the port off the new board and soldier it on the old board? I don't see why it won't work so long as the joints match up and the legs are not to long. The pin out should be the same. I think you should be fine.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
Gotcha, you should be fine.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
The only thing which is standardized about the connector shell is the mechanical details of the mating portion of the connector. How the rest of it mates mechanically and electrically to a supporting PCB/PWB does not need to be standardized at all. So, if you happen to end up with the exact same connector, then great. Just any connector? Not so much.

You might be fine attempting it, but there are risk of damaging the PCB (cracking vias barrels from their land pads (too much heat), accidentally tearing surface copper pads off during component removal, etc.

A good electronics technician will have a number of tricks & techniques for rework/repair operations (e.g. using an excess solder flood during component removal), but chief among these is being able to carefully control the amount of heat being applied (tip choice and a variable temperature controller for the iron).

I bring this up because the cost of everything you need to perform the job well exceeds the part cost for that whole headphone jack/USB port flex cable assembly (US $50) unless you have those good tools already. (I have to suppose you don't; otherwise you could have answered your own question)

If you can find the right connector shell and are determined to do the job with a cheap soldering iron, do yourself a favor and at least buy some paste flux (Kester?) and some fine copper "solder wick" braid along with the solder you buy. And it is probably also a good idea to disassemble the N7 so you are not trying to perform the repair "in place").

good luck
