Always Factory reset your phone before and after installing ota updates. And after installation please reboot once again. Am not facing any issues. This is necessary to avoid customization bugs if any.

Hit thanks if helped.

Thank you
[Moto G General] Aionism:
Apparently the question does not ask for any specific ROM, so.

I use PA 4.44 and I haven't had any issues with it as yet, so I guess to each his own.
[Moto G General] ashut0sh:
Issues I am facing

1. The Dialer wont show up the digits at one go. Its only the second time I tap it that to get the digits come back up.

2. The phone has some auto rotate issues. When I try to access any app During a call it always goes Horizontal and does not go back unless I cut the call.

Anyone facing the same issues?

Anyone know how to fix this?

Battery drain after update. Usually fine until about 50-40% then starts dropping rapidly with little or no usage. I know there are people with battery issues from the start but this is really disappointing as my battery was great before this. Hope there's a fix soon or the next update isn't too far away.
[Moto G General] bozzykid:
You will not find a release in the history of XDA where people aren't posting negative feedback. It seems 4.4.4 has not caused any major issues for most people. In fact, in terms of Motorola releases, this one seems to be pretty stable.
[Moto G General] lifetimes:
It's only stable if your phone never had this issue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHN1r20QCkM
[Moto G General] vkk178:
That might be a hardware bug. What does Motorola service say?
[Moto G General] bozzykid:
That looks like a hardware issue. It certainly isn't a common issue.
[Moto G General] lifetimes:
They weren't sure. Since I bought it through Amazon & not them, they didn't offer to replace it. Only to send it to them to fix, which was impossible for me to do since it was my only phone & I would have been without a phone for 2 weeks or more, & sending it back would cost just about the same price as the phone to send from where I live in the Caribbean. It took them almost two damn weeks to tell me to send back, actually the day before the two weeks send back period was up.

Quite a few people has the problem, they just got a chance to change the phone, I couldn't. It was pretty much nonexistent on 4.4.2 or any custom ROM.

[Moto G General] NextGenGTR:
I downgraded like i do it usually, just flash every thing 1 by 1 on adb. Maybe people who have a problem are trying to downgrade for e.g. from German 4.4.4 to UK 4.4.2. I downgraded from 4.4.4 UK > 4.4.2 UK. Maybe that is the problem but i dont know.
[Moto G General] Zerelth:
But as far as I know, there's no way to downgrade from 4.4.4 or 4.4.3 to 4.4.2, let alone 4.3...
[Moto G General] tri_vis:
first of all,

My Moto G is rooted & boot loader is unlocked. ( so my phone is without warranty).

When I received my phone it was on 4.3 and immediately after initial use it upgraded to 4.4.2.

After that I unlocked my boot loader( procedure was in another thread on XDA it self) & rooted.

Then I have downloaded 4.3 stock firmwere and downgraded to 4.3 successfully. ( how to is also on XDA).

Then I upgraded my phone to 4.4.2 via connecting to PC. AND DONE FOTA ( over the air upgrade to 4.4.4 ).

But some applications are not running in 4.4.4 so I just flashed stock 4.4.2 to my phone.

BTW, my Moto G is Indian dual sim version, i.e. XT 1033.

---------- Post added at 07:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:56 PM ----------

BTW,

all the firmware images are for Indian ( Asian Retail) version.

Thar's why, may be, I didn't got any problem to downgrade from 4.4.4 to 4.4.2.

After downgrading from 4.4.4 to 4.4.2

I am facing this problem( which was not happend earlier when I downgraded from 4.4.2 to 4.3)

[Moto G General] peslap:
I disliked the inbuilt dialer from Android 4.4, so I put a custom dialer instead.

First time it asked me what app I want to use for dialing. I've selected the custom dialer and I've selected the ALWAYS option.

But, when I have a missed call and I want to call back that number from the notification bar, it still ask me what dialer should I choose. Everytime.

If I disable / freeze the inbuilt caller, I can't receive calls.

For those who updated to 4.4.4, the bug is still present?
[Moto G General] Fabuvel:
anyone can confirm if 4.4.4 drain battery faster than 4.4.2?

If you are talking about xt1033 with stock ROM, considering both are idle for same amount of time, the answer is NO. Battery drain in 4.4.4 is not faster than 4.4.2

[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] =JKT=:
So I have a Bluetooth audio receiver that runs into my power amp. This would work really well, except that the ouya defaults to full volume on BT whenever you switch apps. This is not normal android behaviour, since my phone remembers BT volume between apps and indeed between pairings.

I understand that re-establishing normal android behaviour might be complicated, but is there a file I can modify that can make the default volume another value, like 50%, so that I don't explode my ears every time I exit an app?

My battery seems to be draining quite fast. I have removed a lot of bloatware, but I'm not getting the type of performance that others are getting.

It has lost 70% in 5 hours just doing a little browsing, watching a 20minute video and playing a game for half an hour. This was with Wifi on, and mobile data switched off, and background data switched off too.

I've had the device for a week now and I've charged it every day.

Any Ideas on how to improve it?

A shot in the dark:

Do you skype? Skype was draining the battery down in the Nexus 7 2013 even when you were not using it. I disabled it and the battery improved greatly.

Another option:

It sounds to me that there's an app that is draining the battery down a whole lot. I would try to isolate that app (by deleting each one you downloaded one at a time) until you have found it.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bad4ss:
I don't have skype, but I like your idea - I've gotten rid of almost all the bloatware stuff. What I think I'll do now is charge it to max. DO a factory reset and not allow Google to start downloading all my apps again.

Funny thing though - when I charged it last night and unplugged it for 3 hours it only dropped a couple of percent. It started dying rapidly after I opened up a few other apps.

What I'll do now is charge do a factory reset, then switch it off, then charge to max before turning it on again. When I first got it, it turned on as soon as I plugged it in. did the same happen for everyone?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IndianaBond:
What you might want to do is download Greenify on the play store. This will tell you what apps are running in the background and then it will turn them off (hibernate).

Make sure that you leave the battery charging for about 10-15 minutes more after your cradle light turns green. Sometimes the battery isn't fully charged despite the cradle light turning green. 30 minutes on a game shouldn't be using that much battery consumption.

I usually get about 10-12 hours or more on each of my batteries ( video calling, chatting, games and my 4g is turned on 90% of the time :)

Try this from Google Play

Thanks, I've tried all these, and nothing seems to be helping - tried loads of other things over the time between taking all your suggestions and it seems to be getting worse.

Do you have the 2 or 3gb version?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bad4ss:
I have the 2gb version, does that matter?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batfink33:
The QHD screen uses 600mb of RAM as video RAM, an HD screen only uses 250-300MB. Android works by killing apps in the background when it runs out of RAM.Your apps are probably being killed as the phone is low on free RAM, that's why you're seeing them starting new all the time. If you've only got 2GB of RAM then most of it will be used up as Video RAM and the OS leaving only as small amount for apps.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bad4ss:
So is this an issue on the 2Gb version of the phone? How can I prevent this from happening?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batfink33:
I'm not sure about the battery drain but that's probably why you see your apps restarting all the time (I was only answering that question). Whether or not that causes battery drain, I don't know. Obviously if you have 3gb of RAM, there is more free for apps so they won't be closed by the OS. There's nothing really you can do software wise as its a physical hardware issue.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bad4ss:
In that case I still have this issue of the phone using battery like a maniac. 20% in 15 minutes of use, twitter, browsing whatsapp etc. was one of the worst examples. That's with Location off, screen at 25% brightness.

Grrr, I thought it was supposed to get better after a few recharges, but nearly a month now and still the same problem :(

Anyone got any more ideas, please?

I just realised a new issue with my phone that I really am surprised about now. I charge my phone at 100% and within 2 hours I have lost a good 30% of my battery within a space of 2 hours.. By having the phone on just locked.. All recent apps closed. Its a strange issue. I dont know why all of a sudden.. I can see in the battery menu that andriod os and android system are taken up about 47% and the display taking 35%...

Im sorry to branch from one issue to another but I dont really know what to do. And I am really worried in doing factory reset and losing my data. I am having to charge my phone in space of 2 times in a day.. doesnt make sense.

Battery drain LG G3 cured

I had performed a Factory Data Reset more than a few times with no success. In my case the battery continued to drain while the top potion of the phone continued to overheat; I assumed that to be the processor in overdrive, but what was causing it? I downloaded GSAM Battery Monitor and noticed SYSTEM (SD) was over 50% in usage by itself. I swapped out the 128 GB SD card with a lesser 64 GB SD card. Now the phone is back to being as cool as a cucumber with normal battery drain. I had the phone operating normally for about 3 weeks before this and even after installing the 128 GB card the phone operated great, so I suppose it must be something recently installed onto the card, or the card itself that was doing it.

One thing for sure, the GSAM battery app tracked down the problem quickly.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ecapuano:
Had the exact same issue.... This post helped me trace it to the SD card... Literally just popped up the other day, after weeks of good use.. SD was causing the phone to heat up and drain rapidly. Pulling it made the problem go away.. Going to purge and format the SD to see if I can return it to the phone.

Yeah I'm experiencing the problem. Not only the battery drains when not in use. When I use it while charging, the battery goes down. It's not screen brightness or connectivity issues (bluetooth...etc are always off)

It seems to me most people that got to use BBS or GSAM must have phones rooted. Is it mandatory that I root it to fix the battery issue?

Edit: So I tried GSAM and the biggest battery user besides the Screen at 44% is "Android system" at 26% and "Kernel (Android OS)" at 17%, everything else is 2% and less.

What's the fix? I imagine I can't stop "Android system" or " Kernel"

Hey guys,

and I do have a question regarding "stock batter" monitor and GSAM;

how come they show quite different results in the same period?

GSAM shows a much bigger percentage for Screen whereas showing minor usage for Whatsapp, for instance.

Is this how it works:

While you use Whatsapp, both the screen and the software uses battery. Stock monitor counts it all towards Whatsapp whereas GSAM only covers battery used for the "software"?

I have Multirom installed on Nexus 7 2013. My primary is Android L Preview and secondary roms are a rooted 4.4.4. Ubuntu Touch and an unrooted 4.4.3. This 4.4.3 wants me to update to the latest build but as I understand it if I let it "install and restart" this will fail as I am running Mutirom with a modified kernel. I vaguely understand that it should be possible to flash the 4.4.4 system.img file but if any one could just confirm how to do this without messing up my nicely working Multirom setup I would be grateful. If there is a better way of updating then please say so if you have the time. Thanks.
[MDA Compact II General] Symos:
Hi guys

I recently bought an MDA Compact II and was really disappointed with the camera, as it is too dark and practically unusable when there is no sunlight.

But that's not the problem. The problem is that I also got one for my girlfriend cos she needed a GPS for the car and....surprise...the camera (i.e. brightness) is 1000 times better! ALL the settings are the same, however hers will automatically adjust the brightness much more and make it much lighter (very nice actually) when there is not much physical light. Mine also makes automatic adjustments but to a much much smaller level.

The only differences these phones have, are:

1. I have installed the updated ROM on mine

2. I have SIM unlocked mine

Any ideas?

Could it be the ROM? If so, do you think I can find the old rom anywhere?

Thanks very much.
