[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thaiane:
When I use the "fastboot getvar all" command, it says "waiting for device". The phone is already connected, but the Moto G doesn't recognizes it's connected either.

I'm getting more and more afraid I really hardbricked it.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] small-mallet:

Tried installing these drivers? Your fastboot doesn't seem to be setup properly. How did you unlock without a working fastboot driver? You are trying that command in bootloader mode right?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thaiane:
Already installed it from the start. The message I got is always this:

"There aren't any updates for your device at the moment

Current Version: N/A"

My fastboot: Doesn't matter the operation I do, I always get this <waiting for device> and the phone is already connected into the computer. And the phone doesn't recognizes it is connected too.

And greeeeat news: my phone now doesn't charges either. I get stuck on a screen with a battery logo and 0%, when connected to the charger. Still, I still can access the fastboot mode. Well, am I lucky or not? :rolleyes:
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] small-mallet:
I'm pretty confused with this. How exactly did you unlock without a working fastboot (no waiting for device issue)? Did you change your pc drivers after unlock or trying this from a different pc? When you say "phone doesn't recognizes it is connected" you mean it says "Connect USB data cable" below "Device is UNLOCKED"? If so, maybe try another usb port cause it should normally say "Transfer Mode: USB Connected" regardless of proper drivers.

Your phone will chrarge no matter what though, no worry about that. It needs to say "Battery OK (Charging)" when connected to PC

No, as long as you have working your device isn't technically bricked in any sense. Don't worry, get that fastboot working again and anything can be fixed.

Also you didnt say whether or not you tried that "Factory" option in bootloader!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thaiane:
OMG. I tried that "Factory" option before but it didn't work. Now I tried a second time and it worked. Thanks a lot! Really :laugh:

Anyway, now my phone is back again and rooted. Thanks for the help, guys! :)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forgotter:
Guys the problem occurs due to corruption of /data folder. Even I had the same issue.

What you can do is

1. Connect your phone to PC in fastboot mode.

2. In fastboot, enter the command "adb erase userdata" and "adb erase cache" without quotes and reboot you phone. It will work for most of the devices, if it doesn't I have some other workaround too.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jidurrr:

I have the same problem. my phone stuck in blank screen after Unlock Bootloader. and then I try to do "adb erase userdata" and "adb erase cache". but my phone has no chenge, still stuck in.

I attach log when enter command adb above.

I'm sorry before. I can't spech English well :D
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forgotter:
The log you have posted contains only the help commands of adb and not the actual commands you gave.

Give a try to factory reset from fastboot mode on your phone. And do you a custom recovery installed in your phone?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jidurrr:
I've tried factory reset for several times, but no change as well.

yes, I get a CWM in my phone. and then, what have I do?

[Moto X Q&A] SolarTrans:
I've been going back and forth between the Moto X and HTC M8 for a while, and I'm really not sure which one to buy and play around with. I have a $60 off .edu coupon for the X so that would bring it to $390 as compared to $650 for the HTC M8. I've got a pre order for the M8 right now, and I can cancel until Wednesday this week. I'm not sure about the fact that the Moto X is getting kinda old, but the Active Listening is soooo cool. I've used both and I really couldn't pick a favorite.

So the question is:

Is the Moto X still a worthy purchase being a little over halfway through it's life cycle?

Thanks!
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
I still think my X is the best phone I have. Its responsive, and fits my hand best, and works best for single handed operation. I had a One (M7) 30demo before the X. It was ok, but wasn't comfortable and felt clumsy in my hand. With the One (M8) having a larger screen, single handed use would still be an issue for me.

(I'm 6'1" with average sized hands for someone this height)

Having the faster processor, screen, possibly better camera, makes the One (M8) attractive. but comfort in every day use is main sticking point for me.

As for the X being old. Yeah, its about 1/2 through its life cycle since Moto said they were working on a replacement. But I still think its a great phone.
[Moto X Q&A] SolarTrans:
Thanks for the insight! I used the M8 at the Verizon store and found it was much easier to use than the M7 one handed. I'm sure the Moto X has better single-hand operation, but it is greatly improved on the M8 (I'm 6'3" with pretty long fingers). I will surely buy the Moto X 2, it's just deciding on the phone that will hold me over until then :P. With the S801, I think the M8 and X are about the same in responsiveness (Moto was ahead for a while with S600 chips in phones), but the M8 still has a superior screen.

How often do you use the Active Listening voice control?
[Moto X Q&A] drago10029:
I agree with kidjoe, I've used an M7 not M8 and after reading the glowing reviews for the M7. I was shocked how everything was average, from battery life to Ultra Pixel camera :(

Here are the pros vs cons for my Moto GSM Unlocked version

PROS

-Fits great in hand

-voiceless controls work wonderful even in semi noisy environments

-the contour of the phone

-Active display really is superb

-Battery life, I get 3-5 hours screen on with moderate usage, battery always last a day, and running 4.4 it's a beast in standby! 4.2.2 eeehhh..

-Moto customer service is great! I think they understand they're the underdog and are acting accordingly.

-the price!

-The hardware and software runs smooth

-unlockable bootloader vis Moto's website

CONS

-Inline messaging bug using the email app

-I have been having MMS problems with 3 Moto X I received, most don't send :'( (I wanna blame T-mobile but still am not sure yet)

-Camera doesn't have digital or optical stabilization so you'll need steady hands and patience!

p.s. I've gotten a free case and SOL headphones from talking with Reps, if you have a gripe a bout a deal or one day shipping or something you could manage to get a freebie

Any questions feel free to ask.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
I use it in the car to read me notifications, or "whats up" ... along with calling and stuff. But not much else.

I don't like SPEAKING out loud with my phone in public.
[Moto X Q&A] SolarTrans:
Thanks! From what I've heard, the M8 actually has much better battery life than the M7, and the Moto's camera is probably about as good as the M8's. Your cons seem to be fairly minor and that's a good thing :P

M8 doesn't have OIS either, so that's a wash.

From some comparisons I've seen, the consensus is that the M8 is better just because it's so much newer and has better hardware. TBH that better hardware probably finally caught it up to the Moto X's stellar performance XD.

These phones are both so great it's really hard to decide :/

But the question is, is it a worthy purchase? What would you say?
[Moto X Q&A] drago10029:
Honestly there's another factor. an important one. The XDA factor as you would know since you're posting here on XDA.

Price and performance, battery life would always leave me with the Moto X. But as you've seen the development is very quiet around these forums sadly. So if ROMs and such are really important you may want to cancel the pre-order and see what development is like for the M8.

Again this is coming from a guy who values efficiency over everything. I knew Moto X had lower specs but being the genius I am (not really) I know specs don't matter, at least higher specs don't. When a phone boast things like that it usually means it's potentially riding on that for success rather than good software/usability or what I call efficiency.

Again, any question feel free. My moto X is an open book for you :p and I love helping people make the best choice for them.
[Moto X Q&A] SolarTrans:
Thanks! Honestly, I usually stick with stock on my phones (I only root to enable AdAway and fix SD permissions), so development isn't that big of a deal. I've noticed there's not much Dev action on the Moto X, but again: it isn't too big of a deal for me. Though, from what I've seen in the M8 forum, there is already getting to be a good amount of Dev following.

So some questions now:

How do you like the screen? Are the pixels noticeable when reading text? How is it outdoors?

I'm using the iPhone 5s as my daily driver, and the ~320PPI screen isn't too bad. Thing is, it has one of the highest quality IPS displays on the market.
[Moto X Q&A] Restola:
If the one and s5 don't do it for you id get a used x to last you the next 5-6 months until the new x's are announced and maybe a new nexus?
[Moto X Q&A] SolarTrans:
I have the $60 off coupon, so I could get an unlocked/Dev 32GB for $390. I'd go that way if I got a Moto.
[Moto X Q&A] drago10029:
The screen looks crisp. I rarely use full brightness outdoors. after about 70% it doesn't make too big a difference to me. And there honestly the 1080p, 720p things are gimmicky. People say they notice the difference but from the S3 to the Moto X to the M7 I've used the sharpness are all on par with each other. Including the IPS on iPhone 5/5S which my girlfriend has. they are all crisp screens.

video look great! The headphone volume is a little low though, i solved that with Viper4android (highly recommend for music lovers). Call quality is actually really really clear! It has 3 mics on it.

That answer your question?
[Moto X Q&A] SolarTrans:
Yep perfectly! But I think I've decided to go with the M8 for these next few months. For a couple of reasons:

1. When I used the Moto X at Verizon, the small screen really reminded me of my iPhone. 5in isn't much bigger than 4.7, but especially with the on screen buttons on a black bar (not always on, but I still noticed), it felt somewhat small to me.

2. My last Android phone was the S4 GPE, and I'm a little tired of the stock-like interface, and being quite reluctant to use ROMs I'd like to give Sense 6 a good try for a while. Moto 360 and X 2 are almost guaranteed to be on my list this year though :D

Thanks so much for your help!
[Moto X Q&A] drago10029:
You got it! glad you found something you like.
[Moto X Q&A] hill180:
Ok. So I dropped my dev moto x on concrete and the screen broke, my fault. So I decided I was going to upgrade to an HTC m8 with the Dot Case.

Well. I just sent in my Moto x to be repaired, because I am going to return the m8.

1. The M8 is a GREAT phone. Great camera, speed, memory expansion.

But in the end I love my Moto X (this is only my opinion)

Why I want my Moto X back? Active notifications, Touchless Control, Ability to mute from the power button, ability to root and remove all bloat (I am sure the HTC will be able to do this soon), size (I like a phone I can hold easily) and doesn't feel like a weight in my pocket.

The problems I had with the M8 (this is my opinion :D)

Rather have Google Experience than BlinkFeed (Yes I installed the APK), The quick gestures were useless to me. The car mode defaulted to the HTC music app, I use Google Music. Hard to hold comfortably. TV was good, but I already have 300 remotes, and 1 universal. Adding one more was just a pain. Sense 6 is nice, but I rather have a pure experience that I can add too, IE: Gravity Module

I always say in my opinion because I think phones are as unique as people. What I find in the M8/Moto X as useless/useful could be 100% different for someone else.
[Moto X Q&A] hovax615@hotmail.com:
I feel like if you play with the moto x in the store your not getting the full day to day usage and the features that help make it the #1 android phone of 2013. I know spec on sheet is all that people care about now but until you have owned the phone and then go to something else you'll want to come back to this phone.
[Moto X Q&A] asatnik11:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S 4 (T-Mobile running GPE ROM) and a moto X GSM dev editon. After going back and forth a few times in the past week I keep going back to the X. Which is surprising because I used the S4 as my DD for the better part of a year and loved everything but the size.

I actually found that the performance is similar and the screen on the X looks better because its RGB and not pentile, regardless of the resolution difference.
[Moto X Q&A] SolarTrans:
Huh didn't know it was RGB. The S5 (while having the best smartphone display ever made according to DisplayMate) still uses PenTile and has 305PPI for red and blue (but 432 for white and green). This is actually less than the Moto X's density, so I was kind of surprised. Displays can't really compare though, as from what I've read the Moto X just isn't as nice as other flagships in the display department

Update on the thread: I actually cancelled my M8 order because after using one again I found I really disliked the whole UI.

Any further comparison for will be with the S5, as that's where I moved my pre-order after canceling.

If one thing were to sway me towards the X from the S5, it'd be the size. The Moto X feels truly amazing (even for the few minutes in store that I tested it). The S5 is quite nice as well, but it doesn't quite match the curve of the X.

From all I've read and felt so far, the S5 and Moto X are both insanely attractive offerings. I haven't seen a single person dissatisfied with their X, and everyone (me included) who's used an S5 thought it was great.

Considering how attached to the X people are, I may just have to spend the $390 and go for it. The S5 may have better specs and be faster, but the overwhelming praise of the X is definitely something I'll consider.

Thanks all for the help so far! If anyone has any further input it'd be much appreciated.

If you want to know where I got this idea, you should see this one first:

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=314731#314731

I found this way of mounting my Wallaby last year, very effective and cheap and secure. So, last weekend, I tried to mount my Universal the same way. Its kind of hard, as my Universal metal case has different size of its belt clip mounting pin. So I have to put another belt clip to my car. I was finally moving the Cruise Control button to the right and use that middle spot that was occupied by the Cruise Control before to put on the Universal belt clip. And now the Universal can be mounted exactly in the middle. I do not have the audio connector yet, but I have located one that look exactly like my Wallaby one, but with 3.5mm plug.

Hope this will give some idea to some of you. Btw, I could mount my Universal with its silicon case on, but taking the padding inside the metal case out. So my metal case now primarily used as a mounting place in my car now.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] galt:
Nice set up. Do you know yet of the PQTAA ( http://pc-mobile.net/pqtaa.htm ) will allow you to run audio from a call through your car speakers while still using the mic?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] lie_ui:
yes, this is exactly the one i'm getting. exactly the same as shown in my picture above, but with 3.5 mm plug. my old one, with 2.5 mm plug, works perfectly with my wallaby for few years now.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] galt:
I'm just still worried that the mic will not be enabled on the Universal... Please do let me know if you've tested this on a Universal.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] galt:
I just received this email back from the manufacturer (Pc-Mobile) of that headset (it regards to it working with the Universal):

"If it has a 3.5mm audio jack then PTAMS/PQTAA COULD be compatible but there

is no guarantee as the every manufacturer may use different pin configurations."

I'm wondering if I should just roll the dice and place an order?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] Pc-Mobile:
I like to add that, unlike phones with 2.5mm audio jacks, which may have different pin configurations from different manufacturers, phones/pda with 3.5mm audio jacks are likely to use the same configuration.

It is because the jack is to be used for ALL headphones with 3.5mm plug so they must be the same.

The only variable is the ground/mic configuration.

All current PDAs with a 3.5mm audio jack with mic (Ipaq/Loox/Axim) use the same PTAMS/PQTAA ok.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] lie_ui:
I will be getting the PQTAA from PC-Mobile and will report the compatibility with the Universal once I have and test it out.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] galt:
Thanks Lie_ui. I also have ordered this, hope it works out...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] lie_ui:
PQTAA works with Universal!

Good news. I received the PQTAA from PC-Mobile and it works with the Universal! I have tested all functions with my Universal:

- Stereo audio output is carried perfectly to the car stereo, no noise whatsoever.

- Microphone is working great, my voice can be heard clearly.

- The call receive button on the unit is working ok too to receive/pick up incoming call.

This is a great audio adapter (in addition to the fact its a handsfree unit). I find its a lot better way to connect the Universal to the car audio system rather than using other method like BT.

As most car mounting solutions do not include audio adapter to connect the Universal to the car audio system, the PQTAA is a perfect solution.

If you have a cassete player, you can combine it with the casette adapter. If you have an AUX input in your car stereo, thats the best.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] galt:
Thanks for the info Lei. I also received mine today, haven't been able to really test it out, but it seems nice and it does function as required. Finally!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] galt:
I finally got a chance to try mine out. The PQTAA works FANTASTICALLY with the Universal!

I tried it in my car, with air conditioning running full blast - the call came in, I was able to answer and hang up using the button on the adaptor. The call was perfectly clear over the car speakers, even with the volume turned up very high the caller reported zero echo from their own voice. They were able to hear me very well even with the mic unit dangling from the rear view mirror (not clipped to my shirt).

Excellent work by PC-Mobile! http://www.pc-mobile.net/pqtaa.htm

can someone tell me step by step ob how to connect universal to car audio ( cd player) what stuff do i need ?

cheers for any info

cudo
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] matt1971:
If youve got a cassette player then buy one of those audio cassettes (Sony does a great one) that includes a cable to plug into the headphone socket on the universal.

Then just start your audio player on the universal and the sound is routed through to your car player.

Hope thats what you meant

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] cudo:
thanks for the idea but I have got only cd player..and it has no aux input.is there any chance to onnect my uni to car audio?

cheers, cudo
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] lie_ui:
Here are some options to connect Uni to a car stereo:

1. If the car stereo has AUX input, this is the best.

Get the adapter we discussed above (PQTAA) and connect it from your Uni then link it to your car AUX input. If you connect it directly from the Uni to your AUX input without that adapter, you only get audio routed to the car audio system, but you will not be able to accept phone calls as a normal audio plug will disable the Uni internal microphone.

2. No AUX input, but has casette player, get the casette adapter. I used this in the past and it worked well, too, until I decided to get an MP3 car stereo and then I made sure I got the one with AUX input.

You will also need to the PQTAA adapter.

3. No AUX input, no cassette, only CD....

You better have FM radio, as this is your last option. :)

Get a FM transmitter, plus the PQTAA adapter. You will feed the audio through the FM to your car audio system. I used this method before and I did not really like it as its kind of troublesome, you have to turn on the FM transmitter, then select the macthing frequency in your car radio, etc. And in my city, its very hard to find unoccupied frequency, thus I always got bad interference with other radio stations.

4. If you do not like connected/cabled mode, then go with Bluetooth.

You car audio must have an AUX input, though. Get a Bluetooth adapter like this one:

http://www.usglobalsat.com/item.asp?itemid=98

Then connect it to the car AUX input. This way, you do not need to plug something to your Uni and can keep it inside your case/purse.

5. Finally, none works for you, and you would like to upgrade your car audio system, then get the new one that has the Bluetooth. This is the cleanest and best solution I guess.

I was looking at this one:

http://www.parrot.biz/products/index.php?id=rhythmnblue

This one even can sync your Contacts and it has a dial pad in the car audio system. Very nice.

Hope this shines you up.

hi Guys,

Yeah been installing plenty of Parrot kits (LS3200, CK3100 and LS3400 with GPS) for the Exec and Mini s etc.

The parrot kits also have a microphone and audio mute, you may need an SOT audio lead depending on your cars configuration, but these kits are simply superb, call quality is fantastic, syncs all your contacts, and the LS range have colour screens with Voice recognition on all.

I can supply these and install them in the UK if your interested, other than that google or ask a local installer nearer to your location,

Ill be Fitting an Exec with a LS3200 soon, ill try and take some images and upload if anyone interested.....basically with the parrot kit, you get the best of both worlds, a nokia style car kit at last for phone based PDAs like the Xda Exec,

Hope that helps,

Is there no way to control the mic from being turned off when you plug in normal headphones? This is what I posted in another thread I created:

Hello everyone.

I have a great pair of wired headphones that I love to use for watching movies and listening to mp3's... noise canceling, enhanced bass, extended range, the works... =)

The only problem though is that when I get an incoming call on gsm, there is no way to listen to the call from the headphones and still use the built-in mic of the universal. I'm forced to unplug the headphones and just use the jasjar's built-in speakers like a regular phone. This is especially horrible on the bus, train, etc.

Funny thing is if I use skype on the jasjar, I can hear out of my great headphones and still talk through the built-in mic... i recorded a few voice notes using the built-in mic while having the headphones plugged in the universal...

clearly, from this... the function is available?

but how do I do this using the gsm phone?

I suppose you may want os details and such... I'm using the newest official i-mate jasjar rom

Thanks in advance!
