[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
First, I noticed the moto x drains real good when on calls, more than my N5. So you need to keep in mind according to gsam, 25 percent of your battery drain was the phone calls. That's huge!

Also, you have almost 3 hours of held awake time....and I'm pretty sure if you click the drop down in gsam app screen, you can't check the held awake time or times waking device, cause you're not rooted.

And, you have Bluetooth on the entire time, and location services and Google now I'm betting? Those will take a chuck of battery life also.

Lastly, 22 percent of your drain was screen. Auto brightness? Were you in bright areas a lot? When the screen is bright, it will drain fast too.

So, all that said....I'd say your battery times are about right. Getting better times will take some tweaking and sacrifice of conveniences.....and getting used to toggling features on and off....instead of always on.

Check out post number 2 in this thread....its our battery life help thread now in the N5 section. But pretty much all the info in post number 2 applies to about any device.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2785128

Of course, you're going to be limited by not being rooted....so some things you can't do....but most you can. Or at least you can read up about it. ;)

Good luck!

Hi there, you will first need to enable USB Debugging. Head over to Settings > General > About Phone > Software Information. Tap Build Number 5 times, and you'll unlock the Developer options.

Go to Settings > Developer options, and check USB Debugging. From there, ADB should work. Good luck!

You have adb and MTP works? What OSX version?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KAR0SH1:
Solution

I know this is a seriously old thread, but for future reference - if your device is NEVER recognised by adb from the start, no matter how much you add the vendor etc, open up Terminal.app and type this in:

cd ~/.android/

rm adbkey adbkey.pub

This will navigate to android's folder and remove the RSA keys your computer uses to identify with the phone. If the address of the folder is wrong you can alter the first line to whatever is appropriate.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stomatocode:
Seriously old, and seriously unresolved (for me and a few people on reddit, at least). Still have not succeeded at getting ADB to detect G3 on USB, tried running the -usb flag on the cli and everything. Is there a working process yet? Verizon seems to be the outlier here as well...
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DLSkyNet:
Just worked for me on OSX Yosemite with a D855 on V10l:

- Update ADB (android platform tools)

- Install LG Driver (link is in this thread)

- Reboot

- run "rm ~/.android/adbkey" and "rm ~/.android/adbkey.pub"

- run "adb devices" (you should now see your G3)

- run "adb kill-server" (just to make sure there is no interference)

- quit all applications on your phone and go to home screen

- run "purpledrake_osx.command" which should now work

Inbetween (guess it was directly after running "purpledrake_osx.command") you should get a permission request on your phone which you should allow :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Witchkingz:
My Galaxy Nexus is rooted and I have installed CWMR Touch v 5.5.0.4 Beta 6 long time ago. I wanted to flash to the CM11 MOD for Galaxy Nexus I wiped factory reset and wiped dalvik cache and cache partition then when I tried to install from sd card it gave me this error :

set_metada_recursive : some changes failed E: Error in /sdcard/0/cm-11-20140703-NIGHTLY-maguro.zip (Status 7) Installation aborted.

Now, my phone just won't startup (probably because there is no software in it except CWM). What is wrong? I thought I could download the stock Android but I can't access the SD card.

EDIT : Could it because my CMW is outdated if so, since I can't access the SD card from my computer how can I upgrade it?

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Krauser Kahn:
From yesterday on my Xperia T doesn't have any signal, I cannot search a Network neither. I don't know why or how happened, just did.

I clean-flashed the 4.3 Stock Rom with Flashtool but it doesn't work. I'm going to try to switch SIMs with my girlfriend so I can see wether it's a phone or SIMcard problem. Any hints about this? Never happened before :(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Krauser Kahn:
Well, it's my phone's problem, my SIM has signal in my gf's phone but her SIM doesn't have signal in mine :(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Krauser Kahn:
I fixed it.

To anyone else having the same problem:

1. Shutdown the phone.

2. Disassemble the phone. There are plenty of tutorials if you don't know how.

2. Find this connector and unplug it.

3. After a few seconds, plug it back again (when you do, you should hear a 'click' sound)

4. Reassemble the phone.

That should work, at least did work for me. This is the second hardware problem I had (the first one was the battery not charging offline issue) and both of them were just fixed by detaching and plug in back their respective connectors. If I would have sent this to Sony i'm sure they would have asked me to pay a lot of money for repairing it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RawrNate:
Last night my phone wanted to update to 4.4.4 because it's been wanting to for a while, but I know it wouldn't work because my phone is rooted. It had tried this at least 3 times before and everything was fine; download update, tries to install, fails, boots right back up. I wanted to get rid of the Update notification in the top bar, so I just ran it again thinking it'd be okay. Well, this time it bricked my phone, leaving me at a neverending loop at the boot animation. I first tried to wipe the cache and dalvik cache, which did nothing. Then I tried a factory restore, which also did nothing. Then I reinstalled the stock 4.4.3 rom I had been using, which did nothing. Then I wiped the SD card completely and reinstalled a stock 4.4.4 rom through sideload, which has done nothing. My phone just sits at the boot animation and taunts me. Worse yet, I have a 16-hour drive tomorrow and my phone was going to be the majority of my sanity during that time.

What should I do?? Is there anything I can do? Normally I would just contact Google to get a replacement (I've done this before when the 4.2 update was causing a lot of bricks,I think it was 4.2 anyway, I forgot) but I'd like to have a working phone for my 16 hour trip..... if possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCody:
Well, I never had heard of any devices that still stuck in the bootanimation after flashing the factory image. There is something really wrong.

Did you already tried flashing a custom rom? Can you boot into recovery?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RawrNate:
I had a Vanir 4.4.3 rom on my phone that I tried to flash as well, but for some reason it went right into "Optimizing Apps" after the first boot, something I hadn't seen before. Then it got stuck at "Starting Apps...", then after a restart, it too was stuck at the boot animation.

I can boot into recovery luckily, but that's all I can do. I have CWMR v6.0.3.5. I've tried just about everything I can think of. [edit] I was able to contact Google for some live chat support and am now #2 in the queue. Hopefully they can either help me or get a replacement going. Either way, I'd still love any help you guys can give me, I'd really like to get it fixed rather than waiting for a replacement.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCody:
Okay, try this: Wipe everything via recovery and with everything i mean really everything! Cache, dalvik, storage, your whole system. There must be nothing left on your phone. Then flash a rom of your choice. Wipe cache and dalvik afterwards and see if it works
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RawrNate:
I've done that already, Factory Reset + wipe cache + wipe dalvik cache + format system/data/cache/sdcard/data/media. The phone was completely bare and that's when I sideloaded the stock 4.4.4 rom (otherwise it's stuck at the Google boot screen). I'll try it again, though.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RawrNate:
Okay right now I'm using the Nexus Toolkit to flash the stock 4.4.4 .tgz image directly from google and unroot my phone (checking the option that the phone is Soft-bricked/Bootloop.

....Okay that finished and I'm still stuck at the boot animation and now I don't have CWMR. ****. [EDIT] But I can still boot into a custom recovery through the toolkit, which is good.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCody:
Damn, I really am stumped right now. That's really strange. Normally everything should be fine after a factory reset...

I've search several threads with bootloop problems, but none of them have this persistent bootloop. I believe you have damage your storage somehow, so that the system can't read the files and boot up properly. Maybe because of this 4.4.4 OTA update. Man, that's kinda sucks right now...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RawrNate:
Yeah haha, it's really really strange. I appreciate you trying to help me, though! Lucky for me I'm getting a "One-time exception replacement" since my warranty is expired but they must be super stumped with the issue as well xD
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCody:
I forgot something! Did you also flashed the 4.4.4 binaries?

I also read somewhere, that the LG Fashtool may help.

Try this out!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RawrNate:
Hm, I didn't think I'd need to with the factory image, but I'll try that. I tried the 4.4.3 factory image as well but that didn't work either. I also can't find anything about the LG Flashtool that's Nexus 4 specific, but I'll try to look more into it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RawrNate:
Wait, how do I flash the binaries since they're .tgz files?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syedtahir16:
This is really strange man. Flashing stock ROM is the last resort but even that seems to be failing for you.

Have you tried downloading the stockRom again (just to make sure it isn't corrupted). Also, maybe you can try using TWRP instead of CWM this time.

Good luck.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCody:
No need to flash them, since you are on a factory image, sry.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RawrNate:
Woah now, I've made progress! Maybe.... Anyway, in TWRP, I "fixed permissions" and mounted "system" but now I'm at the "Android is Upgrading, Optimizing Apps - Starting Apps" screen again (it only had to optimize 23 apps?). I was at this issue before when I was flashing roms last night trying to fix it, but going back to here is better than not getting it to boot at all. What else should I try next?

Note: I'm on the 4.4.4 factory image now and TWRP is just temporary through the Nexus Root Toolkit.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCody:
And? Did it boot up or just stuck in 'optimizing apps'? I would suggest to try another android version, like 4.3 or 4.4.2 at least.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RawrNate:
30 minutes later and it's still at "Starting apps..."

I tried factory images of 4.4.3 and 4.3, still nothing.

What about custom ROM? Cyanogenmod maybe? Make sure to downlaod the M7-Release.

It seems that this is a common issue of Nexus 4 devices. I really don't have any solutions anymore, if a factory reset doesn't help at all.

Did you download the factory image from here? https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images and flashed it via fastboot?

Had exact same issue.

Basically phone becomes incompatible with all 4.3/4.4 builds. However mine boots up with 4.2 variants. Try downloading the oldest factory image available from Google for the N4 and then give it a good 5 minutes to boot up (no like seriously, give it at least 150 slow Mississippis)

This can't be a memory, NAND or eMMC issue since some early builds boot whereas newer ones don't.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CalculatedRisk:
Wasn't aware that earlier builds booted as it was never mentioned before. Very interesting, though. Wonder what is causing this.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Even_Flow:
One more case

Have a N4. I've made all I could. Recovery, Fastboot, CWM, Wipes... I've flashed several Stock and Cyano Roms and, with all versions from 4.3, the phone stucks in Google logo.

It works fine with any version based in 4.2.

At the end, I've discovered something: If you install a 4.3 and flash the 4.2.2. radio, it works!. However, I've tried it lost the wifi signal sometimes (I think its normal with a different radio version). So All seems to show that the problem is located o the radio's Software.

Note: If you flash a 4.4, it doesn't matter that you flash the radio. Stucks.

Think we have a big problem here, guys...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCody:
This is what I assume for some days. There must be a very big issue with 4.4.4. I do not know how to solve this problem either, but do know a lot of leople who have this problem with 4.4.4...

Okay. It's supposed that Nexus is the most stable, pure and functional Android phone (In fact IT'S A GOOGLE PHONE). If this error is so usual (and it starts to be recognised by several users), Is this the image Android wants to have?.

Well, that's what iOS is known for. They are rock stable, but no one can mess around with the source code, which means no custom roms or kernels. iOS is simple and easy to handle. Not more and not less.

I might be wrong and please excuse me for this way of thinking, but since google has announced android L or android 5, they seem to neglect 4.4.4. I never experience such a big issue with an android version before...

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCody:
Indeed the nexus 4 can handle lte, since there is a 4g module installed, but not activated. There are mods where you can open your 4g. I dont know if this is related with your issue.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ah06:
The issue isn't related to 4.4.4 specifically. It manifests in updates and/or flashes to *all* 4.3 and 4.4.

For anyone facing this issue, only 4.2 builds will work.

4.3 builds will half work with 4.2 radios

4.4 builds will not work at all, the phone simply becomes incompatible with Kitkat

Very very sorry to hear about this.

I read the entire thread and each post, rather for a moment, I felt that you phone motherboard got corrupted because you tested many things in one go..

What I really wanted to understand is how and when this got started?

I mean what you did actually that caused you this ? Is it the OTA update of 4.4.4 or you updated to 4.4.4 ? and then the problems started ?

The reason, I am asking this is - I am still on 4.4.3 - rooted on stock rom, I got the OTA update, and the moment I start to update.. After the screen says installing update, it says no command and shows error. Is this what happened with you. ?
