[Moto X Q&A] rfulcher:
I'm on VZW with a Moto X Dev Ed (haven't unlocked it yet), and I have a USB charging issue, which I think might be linked to the 4.4.2 OTA update.

Background:

I customarily charge my phone using an unused, powered USB port on my monitor. This has worked fine since I got it in December. The battery stats screen reports "Charging (AC)", and the charging rate seems congruent with AC charging as well. I also know from using this approach with other phones and monitoring current draw that the monitor ports are powered (not even connected via USB cable to the PC) and that previous phones have been able to pull at least 0.8 mA reliably. I was, however, surprised that the Moto X didn't need a switch thrown in the kernel, etc. to enable fast charge over USB.

Problem:

Ever since the 4.4.2 update (I think -- seems like the most significant change I've made to the phone), I've been experiencing a problem with charging. When I plug in to the USB port, one of two other charging behaviors occurs:

1) I plug in and I get the "lightning bolt" icon in the status bar, but the battery screen says "not charging". And the phone's charge indeed does not increase (or does at a very, very slow level not sufficient to offset normal use).

2) I plug in and don't even get the lightning bolt. No charging or indicator.

Observations:

This behavior occurs with different cables and with different USB ports (i.e., the one on my PC). The PC and monitor ports successfully charge other Micro USB devices. So it's not the port or the cable.

A dedicated wall charger (the bundled Moto or others) works fine in any situation as far as I can tell.

A reboot returns the previous ("normal") charging behavior, whereby the monitor USB port initiates "Charging (AC)" mode. But after a certain amount of time (not sure how long, or whether it's cumulative time or # of plug/replugs), charging ability is lost.

I had installed Snapdragon BatteryGuru just before the 4.4.2 update. Uninstalling it had no effect.

So.... any ideas? Is this a known issue to anyone? I've done some medium-depth Googling, and have not been able to find a solution.

TIA for any help.

I charge my phone frequently with a computer and no issues, and I'm on 4.4.2
[Moto X Q&A] dray_jr:
im going to have to guess the monitor ports hook up to the computer also. so the next thing i would do is reinstall the drivers and see how that dose.

KK 4.4.4 Moto X dev edition usb charging problem

Did you ever figure this out? I just updated to KK4.4.4 and I also have a 2013 Moto X Dev edition (unlocked) and I'm now experiencing a similar charging issue. Although it charges while I'm using the laptop (albeit slowly), it doesn't charge if the laptop is asleep.
[Moto X Q&A] imnuts:
Laptops will typically suspend USB ports when they're sleeping and unplugged for battery life reasons, and they limit power when awake and unplugged if a device is idle.

is there any way to put more items from the calender on the main screen? the most i ever see is 2 items, i would like to see more stuff for today and days with little or nothing i would like to see a couple from the next day. i have take the date, tasks and message off the main page but still just 2 items from the calender show up.

thanks in advance,

SPB Diary

use spb diary. can view appointsments, calender etc up to 1 month in advance.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] bob332:
Re: SPB Diary

how would it compare to Calender+?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] kdskamal:
apps like pocket breeze is exactly wat u need. it is more powerful than diary and skinnable too
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] ralpheboyo:
spb vs pocket breeze

all in all both these aps are good. really depends how you like to set your PDA up. Pocket breeze is very good in terms of customising your screen with good functionality. Personaly I like my screen clear and easy to read. With pocket breeze I find it simply clogs up my screen. if you are looking for a free app then Calender + is the way to go!

What I use is SPB diary. UI is easy, simple and clear. It can be intergrated with pocket informat (which in opinion every pda should have). pocket informat can take some time to get used to as its indepth and has a lot of features.

Other Apps I would recommend:

Avantgo

Netfront

Omega Pocket Mechanic

Phat Notes

Microsoft Voice

Resco Explorer

Resco Photo

SkTools

Skype

Soti Pocket Contoller

SPB Bench Mark

SPB Finance

SPB GPRS

SPB Keyboard

SPB Pocket Plus

SPB Time

SPB Weather

Sprite Backup

Tweaks 2k2

Xcpuscalar

As I said It depends what you use your pda for and what kind of functionality you want. Enjoy!!!!!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] bob332:
thanks for all the info. for the time being i have calender + on it and it is working excellent and does everything i want. just want simple and clear as it will be going on my wifes sx66 soon too. i use mine as the "beta" sx66 and when i decide it is pretty stable and easy to use, i put it on hers :)

i will look into the other products, probably won't go any weather software, i live in phx,az, usa which is the desert, so we get about 300+ days of sunshine, and now since it is summer, it will be ~100F+ for the next 90-100days
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] vijay555:
Bob - you still need a weather forecaster.

"Jan - Dec: Vijay555 will be enjoying rain in London"

It'll get monotonous, but at least I know you'll be thinking of me :)

Do try out AlarmToday as well...

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] bob332:
haha, the weather forecast here is like it will be hot for the next 3-5mos with a slight chance of rain and electrical storms in august and numerous golfers will be struck by lightning. then the weather forecasters will be like it has been 110F+ for 31 days straight with 3% humidity, no clouds have been spotted in 45 days.......

[rant]

sometimes our government over here embarasses me, well actually quite a lot lately, but where i live they should be doing some serious work with solar power, with the amount of homes in the area that could have solar panels on them (~1200sq mi in the "valley of the sun") there is hardly any

[/rant]

what does alarm today do?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] vijay555:
alarmtoday shows you your upcoming calendar appointments, but also clock alarms, birthdays, you can make quite handwritten notes to yourself (eg "switch off cooker" in +5 mins from now etc)..

Try it out, I couldn't live without it.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rip9150:
A few days ago my knock on broke. I've changed Rome,kernels, and restored a stock backup to see if any of that was the problem and it still won't work. Then I noticed that a line of my my screen is not registering touches. If I swipe across the area it registers, just not to touch. I have a feeling that with a portion of the screen dead it is affecting the knock on feature. Can anyone attest to this or does anyone know what my next course of action might be to get knock on back. I have included a picture of lcd screen test to show which portion of the screen is not registering touch. Thanks in advance!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootUserDWR:
In having the same issue on my Sprint G2. Only just bought this device 3 days ago and knockon with the screen off stopped working. It works with the screen on in every launcher, but turn the screen off and nothing.

I'm thinking factory reset but I came here first because it still works with the screen on.

Oh yeah, what app ate you using to see the dead zones?

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radiantbits:
Sometimes my G2 does not recognize knock on, when I tap on the screen too fast… but this is not related to any particular area of the screen.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rip9150:
The app is called lcd test or lcd screen test. Just an update. The dead zone is gone now and knock on works again. It is more than likely a hardware issue with digitizer and will probably come back, but for now I am getting my knock on.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootUserDWR:
Found the screen test earlier by rereading your post. Gonna turn Knockon back on to see if it comes back.

Thanks.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InsanePostman:
This is exactly what i'm experiencing!!! Same dead zone for tapping and no knock on! I submitted a service support ticket to LG earlier.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rip9150:
Just wait a few days mine came back
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HASTETHEJAY:
Mine is doing this and seems to be same zone. How I figured this out was by quick memo and drawing lines to figure out which spot does not registered. Now I'm just waiting on my replacement. This is just strange that 4 people are having the same problem on the same section of screen. And who knows how many more
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HASTETHEJAY:
This is how I figured the screen was messed up the screen did not register my touch in that section the screen

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superslimjimmy:
As a temporary work around for the dead zone, I recommend installing the one handed xposed app (http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/mod-one-handed-mode-devices-t2735815) and toggling it to shift the screen down by 100 pixels. This allows you to move necessary buttons (such as the install button in google play) out of the dead zone temporarily.

Exactly same issue here on my vs980 with dead spot in exactly same place. Weird...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootUserDWR:
Okay folks. Knock-off works, but Knock-on doesn't.

Turn off the setting in the gestures menu. Reboot your phone. Turn on setting. Power button lock your phone.

Now tap screen firmly for one second then tap firmly again. (No quick tapping like you're trying to turn the screen off)

Say this out loud. (1.- 2.)

One dot, two dot.

The first touch has to be firm and for a solid 1 second.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agimax:
I have this same problem on mine now.... :(

I wish we could figure out what is causing these issues....Has anyone flashed TOT back to stock ZVC to see if it takes care of the issue?

EDIT:

Fix For Me:

Since Sprint doesn't have the update touchscreen driver,

Goto: Device Test-->Individual Item-->Touch Draw Test - Auto

Draw the outline as close as you can (notice the touch screen works everywhere!) then press your power button.

It will ask you PASS FAIL - SELECT PASS! (trying again if only Fail - but it worked on fail too for me)

NEXT:

5689#*980# (From Dialer)

Goto: Device Test-->Individual Item-->Touch Draw Test - Manual

Draw the outline as close as you can (notice the touch screen works everywhere!) then press your power button.

It will ask you PASS RETRY FAIL - SELECT PASS!

Exit, your touchscreen should be responding now that was previously dead.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] procter:
This worked on my Sprint G2!! First time the dead zone (btw, it's always the same region at upper half of the screen, compared to other people's screenshots) happened, I thought it was the running out storage space, because after I transferred some of the photos out, it worked again. This morning, same thing happened and I moved all my photos out, leaving 3Gb free space, but did not recover. Tried the update touch firmware method, not working, but this one worked (my Touch draw test auto actually failed), but still after the manual draw test and reboot, it worked.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agimax:
Sadly, it kept happening to me and eventually the method I used stopped working. I sent the phone since it was under warranty to LG. They replaced screen and digitizer. Took care of issue permanently. Sorry for bad news, but it will prob get worse till you have to replace too. ?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] procter:
What did LG repair for you? And is it still working fine?

I sent it in and they turned it around the in two days (received it last Friday and it showed RA closed today already). I thought it was too fast and was worried about "unrepairable" mark from them, but the chat rep told me they did repair "defective touch key". I've read it somewhere people claiming it was the defective proximity sensor to cause this dead zone problem. I haven't got it back yet, but just want to check if that's indeed the problem.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmezh:
The issue can easily be fixed. All you need to do is enter a code in the dialer.

As of now, you need to be rooted and replace certain files to be able to do this on Sprint (if anyone is interested, I can make a flashable zip for you).

First, make sure knock on is turned on in settings, then go to the dialer and type

3845#*802# (for international model)

3845#*801# (for T-Mobile)

3845#*800# (for AT&T)

5689#*980# – (for Sprint )

Dial: ##228378 + send (Verizon)

Other models, please use 3845#*YOUR-MODEL-NUMBER#

Select Device Test -> AATFull (All Auto Test-Full).

After the test is complete,

Select > setting > update touch firmware

BAM! Fixed.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] procter:
I hope it's that easy. It's definitely a YMMV issue, since everybody was just having different extent of "knock on" issue. For me, it actually gave me a half-inch dead band that only the method I referenced a few posts back worked. I tried multiple theories and their solutions, including this update touch firmware, for one thing, this did not do anything after I hit "update the touch firmware", it asked me to wait for such and such time, but nothing actually happened, no restart or anything.

Sadly as the poster of the working method (for me) said later on, it worked for only short period of time, and the trick would only work for a very short time after the first reboot, and the dead band persistently stayed.

To do:

Slow down animation (just a bit)

Make it "smoother"

Add few more informations

Add animation instead od "XPERIA HONAMI" sign.

You want to see something else...?

Let me know and I'll try...

Just don't ask for other devices, sorry but just don't have time for that now and I forgot to save files in .psd so I can't just correct it ;)

[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] funky0308:
That's not bootanimation related.

If anything went wrong with animation you would just see black screen and system will boot without animation.

As I said already - few times - I will never release app/MOD/animation/anything I didn't test.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] LLars_PL:
Oh okay sorry for wrong suggestion then :)

For me it`s working very well :)

I don`t know what could be wrong and cause a bootloop.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] funky0308:
Sorry mate - that wasn't for you, I just accidently quote your post.

Any flashable ZIP could cause problems if it's not built well but this one is 100% O.K, I use it in all my bootanimations and I tested those two before I released them and again today...

So if it's working for you and me - it must work for all...

It'll work for all 1080x1920 devices if they store bootanimation in system/media.

Although can't see a point to use it on other devices - 'cause it's Z1 customized ;)

No need for clearing cache, just flash and restart ;)
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] LLars_PL:
Okay hehe no problem mate :)

Haha it`s that nice i would use it on any xperia device ^^ ;P

-I just always like to clear cache don`t know why ;P

is this the manual way?

- simply rename the flashable zip v2 in "bootanimation.zip"

- use this file to overwrite the old bootanimation.zip in system\media

is it right? can I use the flashable zip to overwrite the stock bootanimation.zip?

Hmm strange problem here on criskelo Rom. Keeps bootlooping After Flash. Sometimes it Starts up but if i Reboot i Get bootlop Most the time. So its a lottery if it Boots or not - and if yes, its booting very long.. After replacing with Stock one, no bootlops, never. And Faster bootup time. What Could be the problem? I realy like that Animation so i dont want to stay on any other . Lg
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] funky0308:
There's nothing in bootanimation that could cause bootloop.

Try to delete bootanimation.zip and restart - device will still work.

Animation is short but it'll play as long as system is booting.

I'm using it on stock 4.4 without any problems and I was using it on 4.3...

Don't know how to help you - it's just not possible that this bootanimation do something like that...

Try to manually replace bootanimation.zip in system/media folder (don't forget permissions)
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] LLars_PL:
I understand that it is not possible, i know that, and something like that never happened before. But like i said, it only happens with this Animation flashed. It's just.. Strange.

I will try to apply it manually. In the past i had this Animation flashed and it was booting very fast, every time.

Since newer version of the Rom, i have Problems booting my Device with this Animation flashed.

Thanx for answer anyway!
