[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aanonymoushuman:
So I am planning to get a Moto G for my wife and I am wondering which edition to get. As I understand both the stock and Google Play editions are the same price. But will there be any benefits of one over the other if I plan to install a custom ROM on it anyway? Also you can flash Google Stock images on the normal Moto G? Is that correct? And also when you buy the phone from the Motorola website you choose which version to get the Global GSM or US GSM. which version will you get if you buy it from Google?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goodbye_Alltel:
The Google Play Moto G is XT1032 (the global gsm model). As I understand, you can easily convert the normal one from motorola (either global or US gsm) to a play edition rom if you want to. See the Mototool thread in the original development section of this forum for details on how to do so. As for custom roms, both versions (xt1034, xt1032, and xt1032 GPE) are fully supported by all roms as far as I can tell (please, I would be happy if someone would correct me if I'm wrong about that). I'm personally happy with my 16GB US version running stock kit kat with xposed framework and a number of modules.

Is it replaceable? Can't see it lasting too long...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] scott14719:
It has a screw to remove it so it is safe to assume it can easily be replaced.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] karmuh:
I don't see why it wouldn't last long. Don't man-handle it and it shouldn't be a problem at all. I remember seeing a thread in the main S5 forums a week or so ago...with a handful of people saying they already broke it. It's just a little piece of rubber holding it together, but some people apparently pry it open without any care in the world...lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Lostatsea23:
Well I got the device with a tiny miniscule scratch on it. Like a pinhead sized one. I wanted to know if I can replace it in the future just in case it gets worse or whatever. So the value of the phone holds up. I'd swap it but I'd look like an idiot since it's so small lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] meissen:
I'd be tempted to remove the door entirely - it's a pain having to remember to remove the door every time I want to charge my phone, especially when docking it in my car.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] risestar2:
It is a replaceable part, assuming that Samsung makes it available (The part). To date, they have not. Some people have broken their already and tried to have the phone replaced and Samsung said no, as they consider it to be a cosmetic damage, like a scratch or crack.

I was worried about this same thing, so i bought one of those aftermarket QI wireless chargers and use that most of the time to charge. Takes longer, but the battery lasts a lot longer than my S3 so I only need to do a charge at night now, as opposed to late afternoon as was on the S3 so I can just let it sit there for 6 hours plus.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] delawaredrew:
I'd guess it isn't normal opening and closing that breaks it. I keep grabbing it along with the USB when I unplug the phone, I could easily see ripping it out by carelessness. I'd hope that Samsung tested it for 500+ cycles.

The little flaps on other phones I've had never broke off.

it reboot to bootloader

when at bootloader, use this.

> fastboot devices

> fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

and pc still sending forever dont finnish

I try many way but the same result...my one have problem?
[HTC One Max] mafyas:
Is the recovery file md5 checksum match? If u have htc sync manager or any other mobile apps manager, uninstall. Or you may try create different user on your computer. When you type fastboot devices, does it shoes your device id?
[HTC One Max] dung15:
I dont know how to checksum..but i already flash with two pc and when fastboot device it show my device id(not offline mode) when i flash earse cach then it ok!...only flash recovery then issue..hic

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] twiggums:
Anyone having any luck running any custom ROMs and being able to use ISIS? My 14 days are up, so it's about time to start flashing I'm thinking. But i've become accustomed to ISIS and like it quite a bit, got $50 for free and i can buy $0.05 bags of chips from the vending machine at work, plus every 4th tap is free there too. I've read ISIS doesn't play well with root, so I'm thinking custom ROMs + ISIS might not work so well :-|
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
This has been discussed many a time...theres a way with stock rom with xposed framework modules, search alil bit and itll yield some results...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] omenbass:
No one ever seems to respond much about hardware issues on the note 2 forum but I'm going to give it another go. Started out a few weeks ago with major battery issues resulting from what I think caused it, was an overheating issue. (fell asleep laying on it charging and screen lit for about 6 hours) The phone started by shutting off when the levels were anywhere from 20-50%. Since then I've tried 3 new OEM batteries and swapped to a different working charge port flex. I jumped from cymod to the skynote rom before swapping out hardware parts and it seemed to make a difference at first but didn't last long. Since going to skynote, I've tried running with greenify, juice defender and no power saving at all. Tried normal performance and tweaked performance. The other night I had my phone off and charging and it reached 100% on the power down indicator, when booting the phone up, the status bar battery indicator said 81%. The next night my phone actually stayed on, or atleast displayed what I felt was the proper percentage, down to 1%. When the indicator went from 2% to 1% I received a notification to unplug my charger, that my battery was full...the charger was not plugged in when receiving this and as soon as I finished reading the notification, the phone shut off again. I am at a loss because I have no idea what's causing this. I own an electronic repair shop and have no problems soldering new charge ports on if needed but I'm starting to think there is another controller on the daughter board which may control the communication between battery and phone. Any ideas?? Anyone....hello

Dear Pissed off in PA,

Every post you've made has had help and/or follow-up questions asked to help you. So that disqualifies your "no one seems to answer hardware questions" statement. Additionally, instead of acting like you are entitled to free tech support, try asking questions without sounding like a self-entitled person.

Signed,

Everyone

P.S. Guys like Steele, eZ, Zen Arcade, Bajan, greg and others help people all the time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
#1. You title of your question isn't cool, I don't care if your pissed off. Remember there's kids that come here for info and to learn!! No one here caused your PROBLEMS... self inflicted wounds...

#2. If someone didn't answer your question probably means we didn't see it or just been busy and it got over looked!

#3. We try to help each and everyone with a problem...

#4. Now to you problem:

First off yes it's VERY BAD to smother any device (6 hours ouch) that's constantly running. Especially with a battey power, being if the device isn't breathing it's gonna over heat. It's kinda like blocking the radiator on your car while your racing down the highway. What do you think it going to HAPPEN problems!!

You mentioned a few battery monitoring apps! [emoji107][emoji107][emoji107]

Get away from those apps cuz most of the time they're wrong or reading the battery level wrong! I'd recommend BBS go here»»» http://goo.gl/0TeXcR

But from your post seems something in the phone, might be something minor got over heated to much which is causing your problems.

Just my 3¢ short of a nickel...

Bajan out...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rangercaptain:
You need to recalibrate your battery. You can figure out how thats done. And you probably cooked your silicon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] omenbass:
The only one that ever offered anything that wasn't a typical response to someone who knows nothing about gadgets, was steele. As many times as the posts were viewed and only getting one response, which most of the time was an unrelated answer, is pretty sad. When noobs have questions about flashing a rom, there are always 30 people there ready to tell them or berate them, when there are countless forums out there to find their own answer. And no, only two posts had answered my hardware questions and the replies were not any kind of a valid response. I apologize for assuming anyone here had experience with internal components. How about instead of responding like a troll, you change my mind and actually teach me something if you're so qualified to give tech support.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] omenbass:
Thanks for your input, but I'm looking for the contoller that would have been damaged. Do you know of a motherboard breakdown link, where I could find out which ics controls charging/battery/phone communication or shutoff. I've soldered new contollers in iphones before and I'm assuming there has to be a similar part which controls current shutoff in the galaxy line. Thanks again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] omenbass:
Thanks. I've done the calibration a couple times with new batteries and flashed quite a few roms on and off. I'm pretty sure something is cooked, but most of the time, if the ics can be identified it can be replaced with a new one. I'm looking for a motherboard breakdown of all soldered parts and a legend to go with it. ifixit is where I usually go, but can't seem to find the exact breakdown of what part controls current flow and shutoff.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rangercaptain:
Xda is mostly about tweaking the phone software and very seldom about the hardware, and rarely about the ic components. Sorry that your question is several paygrades above my skillset.

I have replaced the mainboard for about $80. But of course you already thought about that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
I think that sort of info would be proprietary info, that Samsung would not publish out to just anyone. Unless that specific piece was patented.

I can see them not giving a damn about older models of phones whose technology they would not reuse. But Galaxy stuff in production, I would imagine they would go after someone's scalp that had it.

For info like that I usually grab whatever numbers I see on the board, throw them in every search engine I can think and hope something pops up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] omenbass:
You probably hit the nail on the head with that. It's just so frustrating when I know it can be fixed if I could just figure out which part got fried. Usually soldering a new charge port fixes a lot of hardware glitches when it comes to connectivity or charging/decharging, but of course on this phone it's not happening. Thanks steele
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
No worries. You could try the dudes at mobiletechvideo.

http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-note-2/

They have a little Contact Us applet that pops up on the bottom of the screen. Hopefully you get lucky and they reply back to your question.

It's a long shot since it's their business to do the work for you.

I haven't used them but they recently just saved an xda member with a torched IMEI. Remotely.... That's killing me, I have to know how they did that..

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rangercaptain:
I can send you the old mainboard to use for donor parts once you locate the correct component. PM me your address.

Thanks for the info guys. I will definitely check them out and Ranger I'll definitely take you up on that. I apologize for being a jerk with my post. My phone was driving me nuts, ( I have a hard time dealing with not being able to troubleshoot electronics), and I thought that might be a way to get someone to help me out when I was in dire need.

[Xperia Z2 General] jiggyb21:
This thread is in direct response to the concern regarding lost functionality after unlocking the bootloader and rooting an Xperia Z2 running 4.4 prior to any method of backing up the TA Partition.

I'm not too familiar with posting batches of photos on forums so I hope this works.

First photo in each set is Superior Auto and the second is manual mode at 8mp. Nothing else changed. Mostly flash off (first runs) some flash on (duplicates)

All of the inside shots I would consider pretty darn low light. Outside late dusk. Certainly not ideal situations, but I haven't had time for anything better.

For people stumbling on this thread the concern is that in past Sony phones losing the TA Partition has led to poor low light camera performance (among other things).

As I stated previously, I am impressed by the low light pictures taken with this phone. That's in comparison to my last lot of phones. Z1S, Nexus 5, HTC One, S3. It's why I'm so curious as to whether they could really be better and how bad could it have been on previous Sony phones that were even discussing it now.

The bottle of Jergens was photographed in a very dark room and the Old Spice was in total darkness.

I should note that the phone focuses just as quickly in daylight as it does in total darkness. Very impressive. I'm running DoomLord's custom kernel v2 w/ ClockworkMod Recovery.
[Xperia Z2 General] JMonkeYJ:
I'll leave others with more experience to analyze the pictures, but I do have another related question: can you still use the built-in Sony media apps? Can you collect the free movies from the movie app or watch anything at all? What about the PlayStation Zone, can you download and play games from there? I'm hoping there is free content available in those apps for you to try, but I would love hearing about any experience you have with those apps.

Thanks for the thread!
[Xperia Z2 General] jiggyb21:
Maybe you can enlighten me but I'm thinking it's NO. Attempting to log on to "Video Unlimited" gives me this message (I tried it several times and I have service)

I can log into the lounge but when I try to download or open anything it says the offer is expired. What else can I try?
[Xperia Z2 General] Brody5:
I'm unlocked and rooted on custom rom and I can log into my music unlimited account with the Walkman app if that helps this situation at all.
[Xperia Z2 General] chesterr:
Well I must say you have cute dog. And yes you have lost the TA and post processing over all is okay.I think now the software itself handles it. No need of worrying about it at all. As you can see there are some noise your on your 4WD, Like if you take a closer look you can see the RGB colours going all over. Overall I don't think you lost the camera functionality yet I wish Sony won't screw this with their software update, It was heavily affected when Xperia Z was updated to 4.3. and there was a huge smoothening process was going.I was lucky I backed up TA back then, Many thanks to DevShaft for that contribution. Here I will share my drop box link where I did a comparison about UB and LB different firmwares on Xperia Z. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/hhp7cuvy2sr1nhy/8U7gIP9I-v

Thank you.
[LG G Flex] hands0m3:
Why are you keeping away from kk you can retain root
[LG G Flex] Thraxzzz:
Wouldn't rooting in 4.2.2 stops the upgrading to 4.4? The phone will say something to do about rooting and you can't update the phone
[LG G Flex] nooney299:
Root stayed even after the update. But in the update process, it will download the Rom but not push it to the phone until you "make" it. So even if on WiFi, you have it download kk, it will not automatically start flashing it to the phone. But I was rooted, then updated and did not loose any root abilities
[Verizon LG G2] ddurandSGS3:
Im concerned that activating the phone on 12b will force an update to kit kat.

is there an easier way?

Thanks in advance! Looking forward to being active round here.
[Verizon LG G2] JRJ442:
You could just refuse the update once you activate, it won't ask again for another hour. You should have plenty of time to root and ROM in that time. But why not OTA update to 24A, root with IOroot25, then use Auto-Rec to flash the JB aboot and recovery. Its just as easy that way. Plus you're updated to the new baseband/tz/Rpm. From there you can flash any of the 24A ROMs. LG based or the new aosp ROMs with 4.4 kernels like Mahdi, PA, or the CM11 build in the VZW development section
[Verizon LG G2] ddurandSGS3:
No real reason. Just out of habit I've avoided OTAs. I thought they might patch something to not allow this on the newest update.

Do you have a link to the Auto-rec? Im not sure what that is and want to read up on it. That does seem like a better option since I'll have the newest radios and such. My search bar has been showing only 50% of the time so I've had difficulty searching.

edit:

Is this auto-rec you were referring to? it is an APK.. I just install this using an APK installer from the market?

Rooting 12b and installing recovery, then flashing the 24a bootstack is hella easier and less time consuming in my opinion.

LG G2 ftw
[Verizon LG G2] frackingdren:
I was in the same boat. Bought two VS980 and one wasn't activated yet due to other person being on vacation. All I did was take out my SIM card and put it in the other phone so it gets passed the activation screen and skip all the Google logins.

It did indicate that KK was available and I just skipped the update since I was on 12B. So my steps were to root with ioroot25, pushed loki_tool using adb, pushed update recovery with the premodified 12B TWRP 2.6.3.3 using adb.

Since I went with XDABBEB modified debloated stock, I copied the bootstack and ROM using MTP. Used adb to boot into recovery and followed the directions indicated on his ROM.

decompile SystemUI.apk with apktool

open res/layout/status_bar.xml

find the line that starts

in that line will be a drawable value - it will look something like this

android:background=[COLOR="Red"]"@drawable/nameofpng"[/COLOR]

change the part in red so now it looks like this
