[Moto X Q&A] Cozume:
I guess it all depends on what you mean by top tier. If by top tier you mean a phone that works great as a phone, feels good in your hand, has a nice screen for its size, no lag and stock android plus, with the plus being very useful extras like touchless controls, motorola assist and active display, then the Moto X is top-tier. If by top-tier you mean has the best specs on paper but has lag due to its ridiculous OEM skin, drops calls and can't hold a 4G LTE signal well in weak signal areas, then by all means get the top-tier GNote3. I had it and returned it and got 2 Moto X's instead.

Never gets hot even when I WiFi tether my computer to it. My GNex used to get boiling hot when I did that.

What do you mean by faster? The CPU clock speed? Because I tested it side-by-side with the GNote3 and the Moto X beat the GNote3 in every data speed test I ran and opened apps and loaded web pages noticeably faster than the GNote3.
[Moto X Q&A] @rbiter:
I don't think so. My note3 consistently pulls faster data TMob vs TMob on speed test.

[Moto X Q&A] Cozume:
I am on Verizon. The Moto X and the GNote3 and even my GNex all do well in strong signal areas. Where the signal is weak, the Moto X outperforms them all.
[Moto X Q&A] @rbiter:
Hmmm... Probably. Didn't get to test x at work on day off. I switched to T-Mobile. My note has been pulling faster on TMob vs x on atnt. Note is still pulling down faster at apartment. At work, that will probably be true, x pulling down faster on a weaker signal. My refill runs out today on my note and might be awhile before I get to test again.

Moto X is getting hot

I have recently bought Moto X mobile, it is getting heat wen it is in charging, When i use camera, when i play games and wen i use some long time(not too long)...did anyone find this same issue in ur Moto X.???

Pls let me know..!!!

This morning i woke up and my x was at 125° or 52c not sure if I have an issue or not but it seems like the general opinion is that it runs cool.
[Moto X Q&A] schlager:
To me it seems that the front and back of my TMo Developer Edition is too hot. Just got an app to meaure the temp and its 39C without any serious load (facebook or just web browsing).

Anyone else has measurements to compare?
[Moto X Q&A] bklm1234:
My dev edition gets hot with Maps navigation such that Maps just dies. If I charge it when using navigation, Maps dies quickly. Else it lasts for a while longer before dying. My note 3 and note 4 can go on and on with navigation even being charged at the same time.
[Moto X Q&A] :
That's nothing to worry about. If it actually overheats, it will shut down before damage is done. ?
[Android Apps and Games] Stratman14:
Hi guys, I'm very new to development and wanted to share my first app with the hope of receiving some constructive criticism or ideas for possible features that you would like to see me add. The app is called Dude, Where's My Car? and is a simple, clean car finder app that allows the user to set their current position and later retrieve it for the purpose of remembering where you parked your car.

Download link to Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stratman.wheresmycar

Features:

-Easy to use Park and Find implementation

-Clean interface

-Ability to set a note - Great way to remember what level you're on in a parking garage.

-Navigation to car

-Utilizes Google Maps positioning to ensure accurate location

The app is completely free to download with no ads and I would appreciate it if you guys would give it a try! Thanks:)
[Android Apps and Games] TGD69:
This is a very good and useful app ! Thanks !
[Android Apps and Games] Stratman14:
Thanks for taking the time to download it and for your feedback. I really appreciate it!
[Android Apps and Games] liam666:
I downloaded it and have been trying it out. It seems to work very well so far, great job for your first app!
[Android Apps and Games] Stratman14:
Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Vaetheran2107:
Looks good, nice layout, fast and without unnecessary permissions.

I like it a lot!

One minor thing...I find the app icon a little boring and small...but that's just my personal opinion

Edit: There's another app that's called the same?!? Same developer or copied?

[Android Apps and Games] Stratman14:
App Name

Vaetheran, thank you for your kind words about my app. :) When I originally posted it on the play store I didn't realize that there were other apps with the same name but I now have found at least five other apps with the same name from different developers. I would change it but I can't think of any easy to find name that accurately describes the function of the application. Names like "Car Finder", "Find My Car", etc. have been taken by multiple other apps and so I've had some difficulty trying to come up with an original one.
[Android Apps and Games] Vaetheran2107:
Ok that's not a problem for me. Just thought it should be mentioned.

[Android Apps and Games] Stratman14:
Alright, and thanks again for your feedback! :D
[Android Apps and Games] Thronesmasher:
Very nice. This is the cleanest car finder in the store. Would be nice if you could add a timestamp/alert option for when you're parked at a parking meter.
[Android Apps and Games] Stratman14:
Thank you for your positive feedback. It's funny you should mention the timestamp option as I just had the idea to add a feature like it this afternoon. Great minds think alike!
[Android Apps and Games] YuriBasescu:
Works on my lamborgini :D
[Android Apps and Games] Stratman14:
Glad to hear it!:laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] Stratman14:
New features?

So I'm definitely going to add a timestamp/alert option. Are there any other features that anyone would like to see implemented?
[Android Apps and Games] Vaetheran2107:
Today I found something that's missing. The possibility to navigate to the parked car.

I was at a local Fair and parked my car, set up the spot and then went for the Fair.

Couple of hours later I left the building on a far away exit with no idea where my car could be.

No problem. Got my nexus, opened your app and looked for my car.

App showed me a route on the streets but that didn't help a lot cause I was on the Fair's Ground.

It would have been nice if I could have used Google maps to guide me on my walk.

Long story short...maybe you can implement an option for navigation?

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 4 mit Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] Stratman14:
This is why I posted on XDA! :laugh: Thank you again for your valuable input and for using the app regularly. As of right now I'm currently using this library for navigation, but I'm having some difficulty finding a way to implement Google Maps nav for getting walking directions/off road directions. If anyone on this board has any experience or tips on how to do so I'd love to hear them.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Trpling:
This morning I tried to do the OTA update to the stable versions listed above. The device rebooted to the blue man and stayed there for 30 minutes I figured something was wrong so I took off the battery and restarted. Now it's stuck on blue man every time I boot up the phone. I can get into download and recovery mode, I tried doing a data wipe on the phone and see if it would work from there, and nothing. I'm debating what should I do from here? I want cyanogenmod on my phone so I was wondering if I could flash it from ODIN. Any advice would be appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 8492:
Pretty much the same thing happened to me, except on the d2att version. Wish I could give more help than just saying I'm in the same boat, sorry.

[General Questions and Answers] GRRjayyy:
Hi there,

I rooted my phone today and installed CWM.

I then wanted to perform a nandroid back up, factory reset, then install a custom ROM.

However i've been having a problem that's been driving me crazy for the last couple of hours :(

When i try to backup with CWM to my external SD card it says

>Can't mount backup path.

So i go to mounts and storage, try to mount external_sd and it says

>Error mounting /external_sd!

And even when i try to format it it says the same thing!

What can i do? i completely formatted my SD card and it still won't work.

Also another question. It will back up to my internal SD, but then if i do a factory reset, will it not erase EVERYTHING on the internal storage, thus erasing my back up??? NEED HELP BEFORE I GO MAD!

If anyone has had this or seen this before i'd really appreciate some help! I'm running on a galaxy S3 which is such a common phone i'm surprised i've got any problems. The sd card is a sandisk 64gb.

hopefully someone can give me a hand!

thanks!

Just updating this. now my computer wont recognize my sd when i plug it in. However my phone will. and my computer will find it through my phone. ??

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JimSmith94:
I'm trying this now, wish me luck! One thing I'd like to mention regarding your step #4. You said, "The NAB tar file, transferred over to the root directory of your phone (phone)". I tried copying the file to the root of my phone and it locked up my phone, probably because it is too big. I had to do a battery pull to get back up. Mobile Odin Pro found the file in a directory on my external card so I would advise copying it there.

Uh-oh, one more thing. I got the NAB tar file flashed with MOP, but in PC Odin 3.09.03 you said, "-Also, the "Phone Bootloader Update" box should be checked." That option is grayed out. How can I enable that? I'll wait for a reply before flashing the engineering bootloader.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] optimummind:
That's interesting that a simple file transfer would lock up the phone. Which app did you use to make the transfer? I used ES Explorer.

Sent from my SPH-L720
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JimSmith94:
I used Root Explorer. I assume that it either can't handle 2.2+GB files or the phone didn't have enough space left for the copy.

Thought I'd make this a separate post: One more thing. I got the NAB tar file flashed with MOP, but in PC Odin 3.09.03 you said, "-Also, the "Phone Bootloader Update" box should be checked." That option is grayed out. How can I enable that? I'll wait for a reply before flashing the engineering bootloader.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] optimummind:
Did you download Odin v3.09 from my Dropbox in the 1st post? It's been modified to allow that checkbox to be checked already.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JimSmith94:
Oh sorry, my bad. I had a newer version and thought newer was better. Okay, everything flashed, and I did the two reboots with volume up and volume down as you said. It rebooted and updated apps, and got to the lock screen with a couple notifications in the notification bar.

However, I got a "waiting for connection" message at the bottom of the screen and the screen went black and I couldn't wake it up with the power button. I have rebooted it several times and was able to boot all the way a few times, but the screen times out whether I am using it or not and it won't wake up. I also get a smartcardservices has stopped message and the phone is running quite hot.

Any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kstephens98:
Thanks for this. Exactly what ive been waiting for!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] optimummind:
The "Waiting for connection" message should disappear once your phone connects to Sprint via 3G or 4G. My phone did something along the line of "Final connection has completed" thing after first boot.

If you keep getting errors, you might want to do a factory reset/data wipe from within the stock recovery (hope you backed up your files).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] erik077:
Does this works (and keeps 0x0) with OTA 4.4.2 ? I mean can I root 4.4.2, flash kernel and 0x0?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] optimummind:
I don't know whether this engineering bootloader will trip the Knox warranty bit or not when one flashes a custom recovery afterwards. It'd be great if someone could verify for us. :) It'd be sweet if it didn't so that people can flash custom kernels, recoveries, and ROM's without tripping Knox.

Edit: Sorry for any confusion. I've updated my words in the above paragraph. :p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
As of this writing, one will never be able to flash custom recovery, flash kernels or any rom in the dev forum without tripping Knox.

Someone once reported that they had a knox tripped phone they brought in to a sprint store and a guy actually reset his phone to factory, including knox was set back to 0x0. I never heard any other stories like that though so who knows.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] evilvoice:
Okay, I'm officially lost. This guide is about not tripping Knox and the OP says the engineering bootloader must be flashed, but then a few posts above this states they don't know if flashing the engineering bootloader will trip Knox. So does it trip Knox or not? Or is this referring to the comment I made about phone info not reporting everything for our phone correctly?

I may hedge on the Knox question, likely will in my prior post, but that does not detract one jot from the utility of this thread.

Either urban legend or maybe true. William of Occam would assert the former, I'll not speak in absolutes and simply state that it were true, more would know about it. The latent desire in having this capability is strong enough to believe that, if it is possible at the Sprint store, the good folks here would've published it.

Best buy is full of idiots half the time. Just flash the regular boot then shoot back maybe to another store. When you go in Best Buy it's all in who you get.

More Questions

I'm ready to update to 4.4.2 but I have a few questions.

When I open the N900PVPUCNAB_N900PSPTCNAB_N900PVPUCNAB_HOME.tar file in Mobile ODIN it receive the message "This is not an OTA / Update ZIP file! ZIP files containing partitions are not supported. Do you want to extract the ZIP file instead?" Should I click on Extract or should I have unzipped the file before moving to my phone?

Should my phone be connected to my computer from the beginning or do I wait until my phone reboots?

Thank you and I'm sorry for all the questions, I just want to be careful.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ninja_unmatched:
Yeah you have to extract it. I noticed the option lists ehat file formats it accepts. Md5 and stuff.

Wjen it does it though it places it in another folder of the same name. Gonna have move it out of that folder and into root. Better to extract it from your computer then copy that to the root cause it takes longer to move it in the phone like that.

I found having to go through all the extra steps a but annoying....lol. And now I have to get used to swype again. I was using swiftkey b4. No biggy I just want the numbers on top. I think swype lets you do that somewhere in the options. I will says this the swypes are a lil easier in Swype then in swiftkey.

---------- Post added at 09:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 AM ----------

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DCLocal:
Success!

I'm happy to say that I have successfully updated to 4.4.2 retaining root and Knox 0x0. I was also able to restore my Xposed tweaks suppressing notifications and, add caller and also added the cool CRT animation when the screen turns off.

However, I do get the "SmartcardService" stopped message upon rebooting but everything seems to be working. The only reference I see in this thread is to do a factory reset. Is there anything else to check? I rather not reset if it can be avoided. The only thing I'm missing now, which I knew I'd lose, is WiFi tethering.

Thank you to everyone for your help and answering my questions. And MAJOR thanks to optimummind for starting this thread. In the past I was very comfortable flashing HTC devices, but the whole Odin thing is new to me. And then there is Knox...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] optimummind:
I wish I could help with the SmartCard issue but I never experienced that issue on my phone. I wonder why some people are getting that error & some are not.

When I flashed my phone with MOP, I didn't have any system apps uninstalled but froze some of them using Root App Delete (e.g., all Knox crap, Sprint apps like Sprint Connection Optimizer, and third-party bloat apps).

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ninja_unmatched:
Well I just did it too. I haven't done all those mods yet. Although I think Google restored wanam though. First thing I noticed was a slow down. So I just reset it. As for restoring apps. Well mybackup pro started giving me the i/o sdcard error. I had to move my backups to the phone to get around that & even then it wasn't restoring all of them right. Seems it worked for the smaller apps but games like Asphalt 8 they just force closed. Was starting to get pissed cause the only games really I cared about was dungeon Hunter 4. Well I did get my character back cause good thing I went backup crazy & had backups in helium & titanium. .... Helium only had the game data so I installed it then restored the data with it & it worked.....note this didnt work in the other two. Although Gameloft did mention using it in there support but they were just grasping at straws when they said it.

So all that was to help you cause probably should just reset it & backup with all 3 options...lol...Seems with all three you will eventually get all your stuff back.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] optimummind:
You don't use Mobile Odin Pro to flash the bootloader. You use either Odin v3.09 or Rwilco12's One-Click .exe file.

If you choose to use his .tar.md5 file, use Odin v3.09 (right-click & choose "Run as administrator").

If you choose to use the .exe file, you launch the .exe file by right-clicking it and choosing "Run as administrator."

Whichever method you choose to use, completely power down the phone first (no Soft Reboot) and enter into Download Mode then flash.
