[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joel_sinbad:
Yes, the phone is working right now.

I just flashed the 4.4 FXZ but it had problem with the bootloader, the previous owner flashed the Moto X 4.4.2 bootloader, so when he tried to flash the 4.4 stock again, he bricked the phone, and I guessed that the phone was in that state for months, so the battery completely depleted and it didn't worked anymore.

My solution were:

Made a factory cable, flashed 4.4 FXZ, adding the 4.4.2 bootloader from the Verizon Moto X FXZ, it booted but the battery couldn't charge or retain charge, so I'm using temporaly a Droid Ultra battery, but is fully working now!
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmjones2006:
The new 4.4.4 file should be here soon, so you should be able to flash it and be fully on stock maxx files before too long
[Galaxy Tab S General] mitchellvii:
When it comes to expensive new technology I tend to obsess over the tiniest imperfection. The miniscule hairline scratch on an otherwise flawless screen. That single piece of dust that always manages to get under your screen protector despite using a hazmat clean room to install it. That little nick on the metal edge. All of this drives me nuts. Once it's there my shiny new tablet is no longer pristine and perfect. It's like the first ding on your new BMW. After that it just isn't the same.

Well today I traded my new white 10.5 book cover, which was flawless except that I decided I didn't like white for a case, for a new titanium cover. Now I'm one of these guys that can choose from 10 cases and I'll ALWAYS pick the one with the defect. I never fails. Anyway loving the case, get it home and put it on. Only then do I notice that there is the equivalent of a screen protector dust particle trapped under the skin on the front. One tiny little raised dot in the middle of an otherwise perfect case. Sigh, and now I must obsess. I will endure it for a day or two then finally return it for a PERFECT one. I know me. Probably why BestBuy has wanted posters of me on their front door :).

Why do I even care? Anyone else like this?
[Galaxy Tab S General] robertc88:
My poster at BB is for always looking out for returns so I can get something I want cheaper. They are ready to crown me "king". So long as what was returned is in more than acceptable shape and does not deter from the product's use, why not.

BTW, which BB are you returning it to? :)
[Galaxy Tab S General] SysAdmNj:
All they had was a white one at my store. Youre lucky they had the other colors.
[Galaxy Tab S General] murmur70:
LOL I am not even going to look for imperfections in mine now. I'm afraid I would obsess over it too.
[Galaxy Tab S General] avenging:
haha this level of obsession reminds me of my x-men comic collection back in high school and it was costly for someone who has to keep within his allowance :p
[Galaxy Tab S General] rsfinsrq:
I spent a good hour applying my screen protector. I cannot accept any dust, bubbles, etc. I think the prep time takes longer that the actual preparation. I turn the shower on full hot and steam up the bathroom. After its good and foggy in there I turn the water off and close the door. The steam seems to take the dust out of the air. After about 15 minutes, I will go in and carefully apply the protector. There is good lighting in there so I can see anything that gets trapped under the protector. Works pretty well for me as I no longer go through several protectors trying to get it just right. I do obsess over the smallest imperfection. Call it OCD, being anal, or whatever. I just can't enjoy something as well if I know there's a flaw. Having said that, I absolutely happy with my titanium Tab S 10.5 and book cover so far. :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Tab S General] mitchellvii:
Best way to apply a screen protector to a large device is by placing the protector on the screen in the proper position then apply a strip of masking tape to the left edge attaching it to the tablet. Then once all dust is cleared, lift the protector up and peel away the backing as you let the hinge hold it steady. Watch for any little dust particle as you slowly apply the protector and use another piece of tape to remove them. Once applied just remove the tape hinge. Perfect placement, no dust :D.
[Moto X Q&A] 511pf:
I'm looking to buy a used Moto X, and am trying to figure out which Moto X's receive updates from Motorola and not a carrier. I need a GSM phone and will be using a TMobile or AT&T MVNO in the US. I don't trust the carriers to continue pushing out Motorola's updates, so I'd rather just get them from Motorola directly.

My understanding is that the new dev versions and the retail, full-priced versions from Motorola will get updates. How do I identify those on the secondary market? Is it as simple as - if the back doesn't have a carrier logo, it gets updates from Motorola? Should I only be looking for an XT1053 and not an XT1058?

Looked in the FAQs and searched, but couldn't find an answer.

Thanks!
[Moto X Q&A] That Ain't Falco!!!:
I could be wrong, but I don't think any of them get the update OTA straight from motorola. Even the dev and unlocked GSM's roms are labeled as T-Mobile retail. However, if you have one of those devices and an unlocked bootloader, you can download the system images straight from moto's website and easily install the updates yourself. So either version works in your case. The only difference is that you lose your warranty if you don't have a dev edition.
[Moto X Q&A] 511pf:
Thanks for the answer. So, theoretically, it wouldn't matter which device I got. Good to know. Thanks!
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
If you want to be able to use your phone on multiple carriers, definitely buy the XT1053.

The XT1053 comes bootloader-unlockable and sim-unlocked. If you buy the XT1058 AT&T variant, the bootloader cannot be unlocked (unless you are lucky enough to get a code from the china middleman), and the phones are SIM-Locked to AT&T (unusable on T-Mobile). Some have reported success getting a SIM-Unlock code from online sellers, but others have reported that they tried all of the online sellers and none of the unlock codes work.

If you want a phone that will 100% be usable on any GSM carrier, buy the XT1053.

All variants should [eventually] receive the updates.
[Moto X Q&A] devilsdouble:
Don't know about XT1053 but I got the XT1052 and it came with unlock-able bootloader too, and of course all GSM SIM cards are working.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
In addition to what That Ain't Falco!!! said..

The ATT XT1058 doesn't support HSPA/HSPA+ on AWS(1700/2100mhz). When T-Mobile first launched their HSPA/HSPA+ network that is the frequency they used. While they are working to upgrade and re-farm their 1900Mhz spectrum to HSPA/HSPA+, in areas where they haven't yet completed that, the XT1058 would only get EDGE when using it on T-Mobile

While the GSM Unlocked XT1053 is sim unlocked out of the box and bootloader unlockable, unlocking the bootloader does void the warranty. The Dev Edition XT1053 can't be customized (comes as 32gig, black face, woven white back, silver accents and says Dev Edition on the back), but unlocking the bootloader does NOT void the warranty. But in reality, the hardware "inside" is exactly the same, and they use the same roms/updates.

If you want to root, its easiest/best if you can unlock the bootloader.
[Moto X Q&A] 511pf:
Great answers, guys. Thanks a ton for taking the time. I'm definitely going to look for the XT1053.

Hello!

[Asus Transformer TF700] hachibei:
Caveat: You won't have any wallpaper. So its all black to ya. But holy **** it's worth it. The launcher felt very smooth as baby asses and I am now willing to give up having wallpaper altogether.

Now the method is very simple and it made use of Google Now Launcher bug (lol)

Tested setup:

Worked on latest CM11 nightly (29/06), latest crombi with vanilla setting (none of the fsync, force GPU etc.), and also crombi with data2sd mod.

Download the official Google Now Launcher in Play Store (don't worry, you can use your preferred launcher later) (I would link but no rep sigh..)

Open the Google now launcher, long press anywhere, and go into the wallpaper setting

Choose one of the stock wallpaper that came with the Google now launcher (I chose the yellowish swirly thingy)

Press set wallpaper

Wait. After a few secs, it should return you to back to the google now launcher home screen but this time with no wallpaper. If it applied the wallpaper successfully, then try another stock wallpaper. If it still applies the wallpaper successfully, then tough luck. Doesn't work for you then.

So since you don't have any wallpaper, try moving around the launcher and stuffs. Feel the smoothness that almost rivals the iOS. Heck you can even go back to your preferred launcher now. The no wallpaper bug stick with nova and trebuchet. This smoothness is the dream we were denied.

This method is reproducible for me and no, setting to that "no wallpaper" option in Nova only applies a black image in the background. The Google Now Launcher bug allows us to literally have no wallpaper at all.

Also, I've been trying to check all day if the lagginess that was originally present in launchers w/o using this bug came from CPU or GPU. I dare to say, for what's it's worth, all my noobish test seems to be pointing to the Tegra 3 GPU. Hell you can even go on power save mode with this wallpaper bug and still see nothing impacting it baby butt smoothness.

(The current Google Now Launcher version in Play Store is 1.0.16.1154249 as of this post)
[Asus Transformer TF700] andreibsk:
I use GMD Gestures to navigate through my apps and stuff. It has an option to "hide" the status/navigation bar - i think it basically just kills SystemUI. Yes you wont be able to access the notifications and quicksettings anymore, but hell the home screen is perfect smooth and you get to keep your wallpaper. (might be different on other ROMs, i'm on CROMBi-kk)
[Asus Transformer TF700] hachibei:
Good to know. I prefer having the status bar though since I have two WiFi network in my house and I frequently take a peek at the quick settings panel usually to know which network I'm using. ;)

[MENTION=5119066]captainbadger[/MENTION]

First: removed the serial number also from you fastboot devices result, please.

Then, have you tried another recovery build too? This one should also work on your hboot.

About the hboot: you can't update your hboot when the device is S-On.

What you can try, (if you can't flash recovery) is to flash again the whole firmware package. But as far as i know you must lock the bootloader for that and i don't know if you can flash the same firmware on the already same installed firmware.

But you have not much options for a S-on device, which don't has a working custom recovery.

A small F.A.Q. to understand things. Not written for k2ul but most likely similar.
[HTC One SV] captainbadger:
Yep I tried another recovery just to be certain. No luck.
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
Then you should maybe really lock the device and try to flash the firmware.zip.

And maybe then you have more luck with recovery.
[HTC One SV] captainbadger:
OK.

I need to reflash firmware.zip.

To do that I need to relock the bootloader.

To do that I need S-Off.

To do that I need to install and run firewater

To do that I need to get a working adb shell connection.

That doesn't work. The only working connection I have is fastboot. :( I assume that adb requires the OS to be up and running. This isn't the case.
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
You can relock your bootloader with fastboot cmd:

fastboot oem lock

Then you should be able to flash a signed (by HTC) firmware.zip, also when you are S-on.

The firmware.zip you need, you can get here: http://d-h.st/uwh

How to flash, you'll find in the linked FAQ in post #2.

[General Questions and Answers] GnatGoSplat:
I can't do Wifi at work, but Bluetooth is allowed.

My phone (Motorola Droid Mini XT1030) supports Bluetooth internet sharing, no problem. Tested it and it works.

Only problem is my PC running Windows 8.1 can tether to the phone and use phone's internet, but not the reverse. No way to reverse-tether to the PC via bluetooth that I'm aware of, and I'd like to stay wireless.

Got an idea to use a cheap old phone as a bridge. Reverse tether cheap phone to PC via USB using ReverseTethering app, then use phone's Bluetooth tethering to share that with my XT1030. Well, turns out this is not possible, at least not with Android. Author of the ReverseTethering app confirmed it.

So that got me thinking, how about old Windows Mobile? Used to be you could just plug a WinMo phone into the PC, and it was automatically reverse-tethered. Can an old WinMo phone share that reverse-tethered internet connection to another phone via Bluetooth?

If not, any way to do that with iPhone or Windows Phone 8? I still have my old iPhone 4S and can probably get a WP8 phone pretty cheap.
