[Moto X Q&A] piccit:
OP's issue was that he wanted to downgrade to 4.2 -- not that he was trying to change the carrier version of the 4.4.2 bootloader. Are there any threads about someone having an issue trying to flash a different carrier's version of 4.4.2?
[Moto X Q&A] flashallthetime:
Threads no but multiple threads about issues, stay away from flashing another carriers 4.4.2 firmware at this point in time, I'm trying to get boot loader numbers for all carrier firmware , so far all north american and south american boot loaders are the same but T-Mobile and AT&T have yet to be released, European boot loaders are not yet posted

That's the risk of being impatient and flashing things in a hurry when they drop....that weren't made for our particular phone.

Remember ...good things come to those who wait.......and bad things for those who are too impatient. ;)

Just find the Brazilian full 4.4.2 file and rsdlite it or mfastboot flash. I believe it was floating around somewhere.

[MENTION=4500301]brunodmjr[/MENTION]

You got bootloop because motorola OTA updates needs stock recovery to install.

Best thing to do now is wait for the full 4.4.2 brazilian rom. Then you can flash it thru RSD Lite or manually using fastboot.
[Moto X Q&A] brunodmjr:
Nop. I used stock recovery and did not flashed anything that wasn't for my device (answering the guy some posts before yours)
[Moto X Q&A] fndpena:
hmm. I thought you were using a custom recovery like TWRP.

I suppose you got root using rockmymoto/slapmymoto then. Because this is the only way to root the device while keeping stock recovery.
[Moto X Q&A] brunodmjr:
Nop, as i said, im an "advanced user". :) Unlocked bootloader.

And you can flash a CWM based or TWRP through fastboot, flash superSU, and flash stock recovery using fastboot again. No problem about that.

BTW i updated to 4.4.2 :)

I removed root using superSU option, restored my original .hosts file and removed Viper4Android kernel mods. Then rebooted, then whiped userdata and cache using fastboot and flashed update using 4.4 stock recovery.

After that, flashed CWM (Philz) recovery, flashed superSu.zip and restored /data partition :D

4.4. to 4.4.2 without lose data \o/ Yeah.
[Moto X Q&A] fndpena:
Exactly what I did, except that I didn't flashed back stock recovery (will do if I need it for an OTA in the future).

I know you're an advanced user :good:

I was only trying to guess what was the problem behind the bootlooop. :laugh:

In my case, it was rooted by slapmymoto, so I had to flash 4.4 retail, update OTA and then installing TWRP to gain root.
[Moto X Q&A] brunodmjr:
It was the system saying to the device that it is ready to do the update and keeping trying to reboot to a corrupted recovery.
[Moto X Q&A] feelknOck:
Júnior, segue a dica do Julianocas e conseguirá fazer o downgrade perfeitamente.

Junior follows the tip Julianocas and perfectly able to downgrade.

Did and posted there and all this flowing, is now only install OTA.
[Moto X Q&A] brunodmjr:
I've already solved the problem, see some posts above :) The downgrade wasn't necessary. I just had to read a lot about bootloaders and ETC. Maybe i will compile a thread with useful information that people here maybe don't know (or just don't write and share it).
[Moto X Q&A] :
There's already more than enough talk of all this....to the point that it seems all the different explanations are confusing some people. ;)

The only thing I'll add is this....4.4.2 won't change anyone's lives.....just wait for your phones update. And if you can't OTA....wait a very short while longer and flash it manually.

Phones are bricking left and right cause people are jumping into updates not knowing, or confused by what they are attempting.

A little patients and carefully reading of what's already in this forum would save many a lot of issues.

That's my 3 cents. :)

the attached charger with z1 is a 1500mAh charger and i bought a 2100mAh charger which charges faster for sure.I wanna know does this harm the battery?i mean if it was ok why the sony didnt attached a 2100mAh or higher with its flagship!?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shem2409:
mAh tell you about the capacity of the battery. You can even use 1 million mAh.

..and no it won't harm the phone :P
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crohit911:
It does reduce the battery life. Or at least have a little impact on it.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shem2409:
Battery life has nothing to to with the capacity of the portable battery? What are you talking about.

Every charging reduces the battery life. That's why it is recommended to only charge the phone when it is at 10-20% and try to charge it to full.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NiM72NiK:
what exactly impacts the battery ? how a 1500mAh charger doesnt harm it and a 2100 does while its a 3000mah?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] choihan06:
no it won't

it will just charge your phone slightly faster,

if there's more than 2000 input then the phone will put a limit on it. so it should be fine
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crohit911:
The discharge rate.

I might be wrong though cause I didn't read properly. ;)

But voltage does have some impact.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NiM72NiK:
why 2000? what wrong with 2500mAh??!! I think 3000should be the limitation because more than that is going to harm it! isnt it right?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] choihan06:
Well the phone is designed that way, i mean sony engineers should be smarter than us so i assume its a best option.

When i use 2.0A galaxy note3 charger on my z1 it takes about 1500-1700mah but no more than 1700.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shem2409:
I use a 12000mAh portable charger from New Trent and my phone battery is in perfect shape. It does not harm it in any way. I don't understand where the confusion is coming from.

http://www.amazon.com/New-Trent-iCarrier-Smartphones-Micro-USB/dp/B003ZBZ64Q

mAh is a capacity measure , the bigger the capacity the more times you can charge the phone on a single charge (and usually also the bigger and more expensive the battery)

It's the Amperes which are Voltage/ sec given to your phone that you should worry about. Pretty much all portable chargers are suited to mobile phones and should not cause any harm.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crohit911:
I thought you were talking about travel adapter charger..

Yes current provided and voltage matters.

Silly me I was confused between mah and Amperes..

Thanks man!

But I think he's refering to amperes. Cause the one provided with z1 is 1.5 amp. And the portable battery is 5 ah. So he bought a 2.1 ampere charger.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahomad:
There seem to be quite alot of confusion here. I am sure you mean the output of the charger, but if you mean the capacity of a portable charger, then it doesn't matter if it is 1000mAh or 1000,000mAh. But if you mean the output of the charger, then we don't really have a clear answer as this was asked few times in the forum, but I will try to explain the conclusion we came to.

our phone is supposed to support quick charge 2.0 which means in theory, we can use chargers with ~4.0 A (if I remembered correctly). why sony used 1.5 A is not clear, but I don't think using 2.0 A would have any effect except slightly faster charging time. I have been using my SGS4 charger (with 2.0 A output) since I got my Z1 (since release date). Last time I looked for even more powerful chargers ~3 months ago, I found that chargers with 4.0 A output has not been released yet and will be released early 2014. When they are released, i will contact sony and see if I can use it with my Z1 as in theory this should mean half charging time. I hope this helps
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamwrong:
it won't harm the battery
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FreddyFernando_:
The higher mAh rating might not have a direct affect on your phone... But what you said that the battery charges faster is a cause of concern. Do check the output of the charger you got with the battery. If the current rating is higher than your stock charger then maybe you're phone circuits may have problems.

Its the other way around, avoid going down to ~10% and try to keep it above 50%

The higher charger will increase HEAT and heating is the battery most bigger enemy .. Thats it.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efx_9:
I'm sure he meant the charge rate of the charger.

Maybe it won't affect at all since the charge current rate is set by the battery chip, not by the charger. What the charger label says is the max output current, not necessarily the actual rate.

Higher current may hurt abit, higher voltage hurts more

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

Better is to try by yourself, battery life is mainly based on your own settings and usage. If you have some rogue apps, bad network reception, etc... whatever the rom you'll choose it will be the same thing.

You'll have as many answers as there is different rom based on the different settings/usage for each users...

Hi!

I bought a few weeks a nexus 4 and I have a issue with the Location on/off toggle. When I start the phone is working perfect ( great accuracy and very fast) but when I turn off the location services to save some battery...when I turn on it again, maps/facebook(web) or every app that uses GPS doesn't receive any signal. In maps says WAITING FOR LOCATION and nothing happens. I need to restart the phone to make it work again. I need to mention that I upgraded to 4.4.2 kit kat from the first boot so I don't know if this issue is present on 4.3

PS: sorry for my english.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kokotron:
Hey there, I have a similar issue (maybe the same one?) which I posted about yesterday here. GPS works fine in high accuracy mode, but sometimes the battery saving mode (which uses wifi and cellular network only) doesn't give any location ("Waiting for location..." etc.). After rebooting, battery saving mode usually works fine, until "broken" again (possibly after toggling accuracy, as you mention). I'll dig and experiment a bit more around that and see how it goes.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rautoiua:
Hope it's a software issue. My phone is brand new and I never dropped. Maybe 4.4.3 will fix this because it gets annoying! :eek:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nguyenhaiphuc:
Me,too! I found this bug when using nexus 5 port rom, then I flash nexus 5 experience and stock rom KOT49H, the status is the same. When we restart our phone gps works great (high accuracy or battery saving) but when you turn it off and open it again there is no any signal. I bought my nexus 4 a few weeks,too. I worried about this problem with my phone 's hardware but now I think it is a bug of build version KOT49H nexus 4. We can wait for Google Maps update or KitKat update^^
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aga2:
I have the same problem with my nexus 4 (stock 4.4.2, rooted).

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
It's not the phones fault. It's a issue with google play services.

It started with either the most recent update to it or maybe the one before it. But it's a relatively new issue and not hardware or a rom issue.

Happens on other devices....
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott_doyland:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
Yup you do. More for the others who don't and won't actually look at the bug report.

We get many what I call glance over readers on the forums.

I hope they fix this soon. This has been going on for some time now and it's really starting to get annoying.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott_doyland:
They replied to bug report. They say its Google play services issue, which is correct, and that we can only report bugs for android itself.

I'm not sure where to report a play services issue so will have to find out. As so much 'android' functionality is now moving to play services we need a channel to report play services bugs.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
Yeah not sure what tree to bark up for that.

We will just have to wait and see if it's fixed in the next Google Play services release. If it isn't I guess folks are just going to make a bigger louder fuss about it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aga2:
Not sure that it is just a Google Play services issue...

I had created a small app which gets location through the old android.location APIs ((LINK) and uses Google Play services just for showing the MAP...

This app should work and get new location when the problem happens on the phone, but this is not the case...

I can see in app's logs that the location providers do not get any location fix from GPS and WiFi. :confused:

Conclusion: when the problem happens in Nexus4 no location is working, even when the classic android.location providers are used (and not the Google Play services Location)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott_doyland:
On android 4.3 jellybean and play services 4.2.43 the location works fine after off/on. So I agree its not just a play services issue.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aga2:
It seems that the problem is solved after update to latest Google Play Services (rev. 16) :good:

WiFi Location works fine after many tries to stop/start in location settings.

Maybe there was a bug in older Google Play Services that was messing up with location providers after stop/start.

[General Questions and Answers] axcsd:
hi guys,

first i'm very sorry about my short english. i'm korean.

i used well my phone over a year.

but about a week ago, my phone suddenly got touching problem.

volume and hold button work well but only touch screen don't work.

so i went to service center to fix it,

then manager(?) did factory reset with my phone.

after reset, my touch work well.

manager said 'application in your phone had problem'

recently i upgraded from jelly bean to ics

but there was no problem for 1 months

anyway about 1 hour later, touch don't work again.

next week i went back to service center again,

this time manager said 'main board inside of your phone cracked because i droped a lot.

but if main board got crack, it is normal that hold and volume button don't work too.

in my case only touch don't work.

now question

1. what you guy think about this problem

2. do you know how to factory reset from computer?

i didn't check usb debuging so i can't use adb.

home button of my phone is also touch. so i can't use recovery mode.

Just a side note since your using safestrap unless I've missed something new in the past week.. You can only run the stock kernel. And since your on mj7 you'd only be able to flash TW ROMs based off of mj7 or mk2 using your mj7 modules. I'm not 100% right now where you're problem lies.

Flashing to the stock slot is risky and unfortunately sometimes the only remedy is to Odin back to stock and start again making sure you're using the correct ROM , modules.

I figured. Seems like you have a handle on all that. You said earlier you were trying different kernels...

I don't know.. Maybe look into the settings you get into from the dialer to check and see if anything in there is disabled as far as data/3g/4g ? Obviously you've checked your APN settings as well? If your stock didn't get data either I'd say your sim card is acting up. I know there's a thread on here for the dialer settings I've done it before myself just forget what they are. Until someone else has an idea might be worth a try
