Its used for screen mirroring via chromecast or miracast. There is no option to stop the process completely besides greenfying it. The standby times have increased a lot for me too! 5.1 brought a lot of improvements with it to my phone.

[X 2014 General] AhmedFaiz:
I would recommend everyone with issues try a factory reset and clear the cache in the stock recovery after that. Doing both of this has solved all my issues that is same as you mentioned above and I am constantly getting 4 to 4.5hrs of sot for past few days now.

Without greenify.
[X 2014 General] Kaushik.Vapiwala:
U got small update of 22.121.1 before 5.1? 11 mb one.
[X 2014 General] AhmedFaiz:
Ya got it. But I didn't receive the 5.1 OTA officially, flashed the OTA zip file in recovery that's how I updated.

For first few days I had battery issues, but after a factory reset and clearing cache solved all my issues.

I would only recommend this if you know what you are doing!

Here is the link to OTA zip thread

That would be on wifi usage only or mixed usage? On wifi i would regularly get thatmuch with almost 24 hours standby. Its on cellular networks where it screws up especially on 3G. Greenifying atfwd stipped android system wakelocks to chew the battery when using cellular networks. Atleast for me it did.

i'm experiencing pretty bad battery drain even after greenifying. Is there anything i should do before performing a factory reset? I'm hoping there's some sort of automatic backup like itunes before factory reset for the essential information
[X 2014 General] grubber24:
Android backup system is crap in comparison to iphone backup system. And frankly its better to setup the phone again so that the useless files and old settings are deleted while maintaining the system integrity after factory reseting the phone.

I love Stock Android on the Moto X 2014 ?
[X 2014 General] bellick:
I suppose the best way would be to clone a copy of my internal memory of the phone first (in case i lose some impt data) before doing a factory reset? Yeah it's really confusing.. While i don't mind going through the tedious process of setting up a completely new system.. i'm also afraid i'll lose certain user data that i'm currently unaware of.

Apart from Contacts, media and whatsapp, any other common data to take note of? :)

[X 2014 General] grubber24:
I would not recommend restoring the whole dump of internal memory. Just selected folders and files. That will save some time. You can even sync all pics videos n contacts with google. But do not use the backup n restore settings as it renders the factory reset process useless by restoring all apps and settings which is not recommended to be done after any update.

Sorry was a busy day. Late reply. My usage is 60% WiFi and 40% 2G.

Let's wait for official release soon. To clear all this confusion.

I am having a good battery experience after the reset.

---------- Post added at 01:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:42 AM ----------

I would recommend a factory reset and start clean. Just use Google backup for basic data and start over clean system.
[X 2014 General] grubber24:
The battery hog is 3G as its not fully optimized in India by the network providers! Wifi / 2G dont cause problems. When on 3G, the apps keep using the mobile radio even if the sync is complete. Moreover the usage stats reporting style has been changed since 5.0. To sum up, battery life while using mobile data will be crap on lollipop and much better while using wifi or 4G.

I love Stock Android on the Moto X 2014 ?
[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
What? Battery life better on 4G? I know power consumption is pathetic in 3G but its a news to me that its better in 4G.

If its true then will have to find out the way how we can use Airtel 4G which is going to be launched in my city as well.
[X 2014 General] grubber24:
Yes. My friend who uses a 1+1 in bangalore told me that his phone's battery lasted for 2 full days with almost 4-4.5 hrs sot on 4G but barely 1 day with same sot on 3G! 4G is usually more optimized than 3G atleast in India.

[X 2014 General] AhmedFaiz:
I haven't tried on 3G yet. Gone try it today. Will let you know by tomorrow.
[X 2014 General] grubber24:
Definately the standby is improved by greenifying com.Qualcomm.atfwd. before that the per hour consumption used to be more than 3% at this level of usage. Now its down to 1.5-2% per hour. That too on mixed usage of wifi and 3G. Loving the new update. Here's the proof.

[X 2014 General] SkullDeath:

I think it's the final build of 5.1 for Indian users not the soak test build.

Until 5.1.1 update hits, this will be their final build for Indian users I believe.

Plz people who got the OTA update plz post a feedback after couple of days.
[X 2014 General] grubber24:
Yes many people in india have received the update today. This must be the full deployment and not a public soak like we recieved on 9th June. I would suggest people to let the os settle in for a few days and then give their feedback on it.

[X 2014 General] SkullDeath:
Dislike -

The first thing I noticed is the large blocky H / 4G icons on status bar. Makes we want to connect to WiFi all the more ?

Like -

Chop twice for flashlight is useful and works, front camera preview is much much smoother.

Will use it for a few more days before commenting on battery or performance.

Has anyone rooted 5.1?

Please share the link of suitable rooting and unrooting, both method for our devices.
[X 2014 General] grubber24:
Its too early to be rooted considering that its just deployed today in india for this model. Wait for a few days n u'll get it.

[X 2014 General] AGISCI:
If your bootloader is unlocked, 5.1 can be rooted by flashing TWRP. When you exit from TWRP a message will appear saying you are not rooted and ask you if you want to root it.
[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
Flashing TWRP? Means can we flash things without rooting?

I just want to flash modified stock camera app to replace stock camera app, can I do without rooting? Or can I xposed module to modify any existing system app?
[X 2014 General] nithin1992:
There's no change in the method. The same root method that worked for 5.0 still works fine. Just look for the thread and follow the simple steps. As for unrooting, goto SuperSU app and do a full unroot followed by system flash(in case you want to receive ota). No need for any wipes.
[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
Which thread? There are more than one. :confused: Have you tried in 5.1?

And can we flash stuffs without rooting?
[X 2014 General] blademaster1990:
You can only flash if u have a custom recovery.

For a custom recovery like twrp you will need a unlocked bootloader

With that u can flash unsigned images
[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
And how to revert back to stock in case custom recovery is flashed?
[X 2014 General] blademaster1990:
You will have flash your system image

From fastboot

Currently only 5.0 images are present ,so we have to be careful .

There are reports of ppl bricking by going from 5.1 to 4.4.4

Since we have 5.0 images we may not face the same problem
[X 2014 General] rohithksaj:
At last updated.... :cool:
[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
Thats tedious, so root is much simpler and safer route I guess.
[X 2014 General] blademaster1990:
Currently for rooting , you will need to unlock bootloader and install custom recovery

And for taking ota u will need to flash system image

I was on cm 12.1 for some time and I was able to take ota by flashing 5.0 image
[X 2014 General] rohithksaj:
While flashing.. Never downgrade ur bootloader... U risk bricking....
[X 2014 General] blademaster1990:
I totally agree with u,

Since we were on lollipop 5.0 I was never downgrading my bootloader.I was reloading my bootloader.

Since 5.1 is out we better wait for a system image for 5.1

The problem of bootloader downgrade was ppl were going from 5.1 to 4.4.4 instead of 5.0

The moto ota do not have checks to prevent brick for downgrade
[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
Oh, so rooting-unrooting is also not as simple as it used to be till Kitkat? Looks like will have to kepp the phone stock for the time being. :(
[X 2014 General] blademaster1990:
I would recommend stock for the time being , until we get a 5.1 system image.
[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
There is a temporary root method also : http://xdaforums.com/moto-x-2014/general/simple-lolipop-root-t3134204

What about this? Most users say they achieved temp root till phone was restarted, I thing that should do the job to flash/modify system apps like camera.
[X 2014 General] blademaster1990:
Even if you flash/ modify system app, u will need to change back when you take an OTA.

Some ppl when they had changed some system files like some of the google apps, had to install system file again to take an ota

i would suggest to wait till somebody really explains what that exploit does
[X 2014 General] Sandeep Srikantam:
The big 'H' in the notification looks tooo ugly. Other than that, overall I like it. The app launching is also pretty fast.
[X 2014 General] SkullDeath:
Can anyone confirm these, I noticed since the 5.1 update -

1. Exchange account disabled smart lock (including on body detection).

2. Car Bluetooth now displays caller name during calls, it used to display number only in 5.0. Either that or the phone has shared my phone contacts without prompting.
[X 2014 General] rohithksaj:
Sorry i don't use both of these.. So no idea...

After two days of using the new os.. I found it is smooth and better than 5.. App launching is faster.. Battery is better.. And all... I haven't tested the performance... I have to download some games and test it... :):D:cool:
[X 2014 General] rohithksaj:
Forgot to add.. The brightness.. Its really a **** thing now... Even at lower level it burns the retina at night... :banghead:

It was the same in 4.4.4. Try using lux or twilight app to save your precious eyes.

[X 2014 General] SkullDeath:
Another issue I that the screen brightness is not uniform. The lower half of the screen is darker than the upper half.

I've restarted phone multiple times and changed brightness settings to no avail. It looks like an issue that was present earlier but is more noticeable after the update.
[X 2014 General] grubber24:
I dont have any such problem on my phone. Neither in 5.0 nor in 5.1. I suggest you visit the motorola service centre and let them have a look at it.

I am hoping for some solid info from Motorola on pure edition for us.

I just bought the phone. I think I will get a replacement from Flipkart. Everything works fine except the WiFi, which shows lower signal strength at the same place on the same network, than my much cheaper Moto G. Seriously guys, the mobile radio is great, but the WiFi might be weaker or it the problem just with my handset? Can anybody confirm? Post some screenshots of the signal strength in dBm in comparison with other phones.
[X 2014 General] AhmedFaiz:
People who are having issue with Google play services I have found a workaround (do it at your own risk)

Got to settings> data usage> look for Google play services and in bottom there is an option to restrict app background data. I tried this today morning on network data, after that no more Google play services sucking my battery.

You can also try this on other rough apps on your system. I find this is the only way to keeping Google play services killing battery while on network data.
[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
I am feared you have ended up obstructing working of Google now and other Google syncing services. Check if everything is working fine, especially when you are commuting.
[X 2014 General] AhmedFaiz:
All the Google services are working fine when I use it. I think by switching that on only will cut the background syncing while on data network. After switching it on there is no more Google play services listed even in my battery stats.
[X 2014 General] rohithksaj:
You can't get into play store if the background data is off...
[X 2014 General] AhmedFaiz:
All the Google apps are working fine without a issue even the playstore, getting notifications also from Google apps.

My battery has improved a lot when connected to network data. Highly recommended?
[X 2014 General] grubber24:
I had tried that on 5.0 and missed all notifications from Hangouts. I had setup hangouts as my messaging app. Didnt get sms or im notifications after i did that. Do you get those?
[X 2014 General] AhmedFaiz:
I haven't experienced any issues like you mentioned above. I am getting all the notifications I use messenger for SMS and I don't use hangout that much.

I am getting notifications from Google now, Google+, youtube, etc.

I just tried hangout msg send from my wife's phone, Received the notification.

I am testing this mode as I am not using WiFi at all today and my battery standby has improved a lot.
[X 2014 General] grubber24:
I tried this suggestion for a day and i can confirm this is working nicely! My usage was 50% on mobile data and 50% wifi. Google "drain" services isnt even showing up in the battery charts. Also i am getting all notifications on time from gapps. Cheers mate for finding this awesome solution!

P.S. i have switched off google now cards and location service as i dont need them much. Havent yet tried that on maps and high accuracy mode.
[X 2014 General] grubber24:
Proof that its working! Thanks!
[X 2014 General] AhmedFaiz:
This is just a workaround. Good to hear it's working for others also. But I really wish Motorola rolls out a OTA for all the Indian users with all the issues sorted.

It's going to be a month using 5.1 selected users build for india. There is no much info on the development for Indian users anywhere online.

Plz if anyone find any news on 5.1 for all Indian users. Share it.
[X 2014 General] grubber24:
Sadly this issue cant be fixed by motorola. What other issues are u facing? I am completely satisfied with this build. Everything is working as it was advertised. A few glitches here and there are acceptable.
[X 2014 General] AhmedFaiz:
I know it's a Google issue. But people that are gone rely more on network data for internet are gone suffer with less battery than using it on wifi.

Honestly that is the only issue. System is smooth as a butter everything worked without a issue so far.

I have chked with US users who have received 5.1 recently they are not having this issue. I think Indian users will have to live with it till 5.1.1 gets out, that will only happen after moto x3 comes out.

Are you having any other issues.
[X 2014 General] grubber24:
I had tonnes of issues on 5.0 and those have been corrected now. I am pretty happy with that! Also i am getting pretty satisfactory battery life on mobile data with almost a day and 4 hours sot. With wifi i get 1 hour more of sot. The only 2 issues, which motorola calls "features" are:

1. Ascending ringtones (also in 5.0)

2. Screen brightness too much even at lowest level. Now the default is like 40% which is way more while reading in a dark room. (5.0 had it perfectly managed)
[X 2014 General] AhmedFaiz:
Nice to here at least someone is happy with the sock build. I just updated my Google play services yesterday.. More testing going on.
[X 2014 General] grubber24:
What version of play services are you using now? I got 7.5.74 and i feel its pretty good. Also do you use smart lock? Even the body detection wakelocks are clubbed under google play services. Switch that off and test if you want.
[X 2014 General] AhmedFaiz:
I just updated to the same version you mentioned above yesterday. I use smartlock even the body detection, I am gone switch it off now. I use the moto 360 so I am not gone switch it off completely.

After updating play services yesterday night I have switched off restricting background data for play services today . I looks like play services are behaving back to normal.

Below are my battery stats on current cycle.
[X 2014 General] grubber24:
Thats nice. I literally dont have any drain from play services after restricting background data. I am using my phone with wifi and 3G on for 50-50%. Abd i use facebook lite instead of facebook app. Pretty happy with this now. Here are the screenshots. (I promise these would be my last[emoji56] )

It happened because the new boot animation is stored in /data... When you turn on encryption /data is what is encrypted. The default boot animation is in /system which is never encrypted. If you want the new animation after encryption, you need root. Replace the bootanimation.zip in /system with the new one.

Battery Woes

so recently I've been some heavy battery drain on my Moto X..

on 5.1 only

can't figure out the reason except for the one clue i have -> the place where i work, has zero network [carrier = Vodafone], i mean literally there are no bars on my phone, so i'm assuming that the searching for network all day might be draining the battery in that way, but i cant be sure yet.

can anyone shed any light on the matter ? :confused: :rolleyes:
[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
Yes, low network causes massive battery drain, better you put the phone in airplane mode if there is no network. Or change your service provider who provides better reception.
