I'm having a problem making and receiving calls with my xperia ray (it either takes too long to connect, can't connect, or it drops calls when I'm in the middle of them). I have installed android 4.04.

I read somewhere that it could be a proximity sensor problem with these phones so have made quite a few calls since on speaker phone and that seems to be working fine so far. is there anyway to test if this is the actual issue, and a way to fix it?

I have not rooted my phone but was planning on doing it anyway if/when I can fix this problem.

I've had the phone for around abouts a year and a half there have been some other issues but I think they are unrelated (tired battery I think, it gives up within 5-10 hours generally. also had some issues in the past sending/receiving texts but I believe that may have been a network issue.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] spaciousmind:
anyone? the call dropping definitely seems to be something with the proximity sensor as it hasn't occured when I've been using speakerphone. I recall reading about a a fix for this but can't find it anymore....

Hmm me too, I wonder... Did you try to get the battery promotion they're doing or anything?
[T-Mobile LG G3] pandacookie:
I got it. I went to the site yesterday and uploaded my receipt. Says it may take up to three weeks to process. I emailed them today and they said 7 -10 business days. Hmm. We'll see which is right.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Swizzle82:
On lg.com?? You registered your phone or what? How did you upload your receipt?
[T-Mobile LG G3] Maine_Coon:
in the rebate submission page there is a place /dialog to upload the file.

Jpegs don't work, you need a pdf I guess.

but first you need a code for the rebate from LG.

Hello,

Right now I have Galaxy Note N700, the original Note, and I am considering buying the new Moto G.

Do you consider this as an upgrade over my 3 year old phone specs wise?

When I compare it in GSM Arena, they are almost identical except for the processor which is Exynos 4210 for my old Note and Snapdragon 400 for the Moto G. When I google their differences, it seems that the Exynos chip is still more powerful than the Snapdragon 400 but the former is Dual Core 1.4 GHz Cortex A9 while the latter is Quad Core 1.2 GHz Cortex A7.

So is this a worthy upgrade? Because I do not wana buy expensive phones anymore, I will be needing it for call and texts, FB, browsing and some light gaming only.

Thank you!

If you are happy with your Note, software is ok and everything els is fine, I would stay on Note
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Note10.1Dude:
It will probably be an experience upgrade, because the Moto software is very light. I have touchwiz on a Note 10.1 (2014) and the Samsung bloat sucks. That said, my advice is get a first-gen G 16GB model while they are still available cheap. My impression is aside from not having expandable storage, it is a better phone (all same specifications except screen size, but the resolution did not improve). If you are willing to hold-off a bit and wait for a new mid-price phone option, the new Nexus should be out within a month or 2.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
It is a worthy upgrade from the original G and the old Note. You will get Android L with this device as well. Read my review here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=55536919

Just remember this is a budget phone at $180, when the Note came out it was $800. In any case it's still a better phone because of stock Android and useful Motorola additions. The new Nexus will probably be $400. (I don't think it will be $349 this time).

[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prgsx:
I have moved from the N7000 to a G and it's great, initially I wanted the bigger screen, but the whole package on the G is faster smoother and generally easier to use, not so much stuff you won't ever use! It also fits in your pocket easily.

At the prices of the G at the moment try it, you will be surprised :)
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allansy:
I will skip on the original G since I really need the SD Card slot. That is why I am considering Moto G 2014.

I am using SlimKat now on my Note I. It lags but it is acceptable compare to when I flashed a JellyBean stock rom.

What is limiting for me with the G 2014 is the 1GB ram, because right now with my Note, it cannot handle a lot of apps. It will always open a new app and not from where I left it.

e.g.

The Chrome browser is really slow on my Note, not slow because of internet connection but slow because it just lags a lot.

Plays Youtube with stutters.

Facebook after clicking on an external link and returning to FB will start from the top.

I am also looking at Asus Zenfone 5, another value for money device.

I like the specs but there is no dedicated XDA thread for this device. It means no development.

The reason I am still holding on to my GNote and still acceptable for daily use is because there is still few developments happening, I still got Kitkat.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiki667:
In that case, I would recommend a bigger jump and get a mobile phone with 2GB of ram
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allansy:

As long as you are S-ON you can install 4EXT Recovery Touch to flash any kernel with smartflash.

You could also try to make your device S-OFF.Try this guide if you like.

Why you can't install drivers for fastboot?

Can you see your phone gets recogniced in device manager?

Just download and install latest htc drivers.(If you download and install htc sync it installs the latest drivers but you have to uninstall sync after installation.It won't remove htc drivers)

If you have win8 you probably have to install drivers manually.

[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] pingtiao:
Hi guys.

I'm making a decision between this and the Samsung galaxy tab s 10.5 .

It seems that the battery life on the sony is actually much better than the samsung despite the samsung having a greater capacity. Could somebody please post up some stats from the real world usage of the sony? I'm thinking total screen on time, total battery life, time between charges.

Thanks!

Mark
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] RoberM:
I will not have less than 5% battery till 2 days or so. But I can tell you for now that watching movies, a full charge last 11 hours.

[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] SANGER_A2:
Look in the tweak for more battery time thread a few down from this one. I posted mine in detail.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] meteor999:
Considering the capacity of the battery, the battery life is outstanding. For example when the tablet is idle it uses virtually no battery, games and movies will see it drop but not at a fast rate, it would defo see you through a day of hard labour. This is why sony stuck with the quad core, and the very beautiful screen. Having looked at the samsung galaxy s with their superior resolution and octa core, Im glad I went with sony, as looking at the threads over on xda people are not happy with battery life, and they are complaining about lag in games, I guess the octa core era has not been totally settled
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] SANGER_A2:
Hell. 4 cores is more than you need really! Especially in Android. It's not even really used fully in a much more complex os like windows!
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] hasenbein1966:
BS. 4 cores is saying nothing about the capability of a device.

There are plenty of laggy, slow phones and tablets with 4 cores out there.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] pingtiao:
I think that the number of cores is less important than the actual day-to-day handling of a device.

I am trying to make a decision between the two best devices here, and the Samsung has double the number of cores. This is irrelvent if software and hardware implementation means a slower actual experience than a device with half the processor cores.

Or indeed a longer-lasting device with a ~30% smaller battery capacity.

I've seen the battery thread mentioned in the reply above- thanks for that.

Can anyone else post their screen-on time or general impressions of battery duration?

Thanks
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] spider623:
6 hours of Hulu over vpn is good enough for you?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] SANGER_A2:
My point wasn't that because a device has 4 cores it must be good. I have two Rockchip 4 core devices that are not fast! :D My point was that octa core is complete overkill as even with 4 cores they are barely ever all used.

On an additional note: I know that the point of the Samsung octa cores is that they can run on the lower freq cores for low Intensity processes for improved battery life, but our 2.3ghz cores can also run at a lower speed when more is not needed and although this may be slightly less efficient than the Samsung 1.3ghz cores, I would still choose the Sony any day on cpu alone!

Duplicate post. Please ignore/delete.
[Moto 360] TabGuy:
Nice photos.

I've read a number of forums discussing the battery life. Almost every single forum comes to the conclusion that the battery life improves and stabilizes after about 4-5 days. Can you tell me how many days you wore the watch before writing this review?
[Moto 360] seh6183:
OP

Thank you for climbing inside of my brain and stealing all of my thoughts to write this review. It saved me a ton of time! I highly doubt the battery life can be improved upon drastically with software updates so I think I have to return this one. What a shame. Ick I may actually have to go back to a gear live and its horrible charging cradle....
[Moto 360] Bob Smith42:
The clear difference with this watch is the Qi charging. It completely outweighs the battery issues in my opinion. But, I agree faster is much better.

As stated elsewhere it might be better to have an even thinner watch with even smaller battery since the ability to Qi charge and OTG quick charge is possible. But, since the watch is *new* we have not (yet) seen innovative OTG Qi quick charge accessories.

Good review.
[Moto 360] seh6183:
We shouldn't have to charge the watch but once a day, overnight and thats it. I'm not carrying around a second charger just to keep my watch going. The gear 2 I had lasted 48 hours with extremely heavy use. The gear live with a screen that never turned off (only dimmed), last 24 hours with some to spare, with very heavy use. I don't need it to last a week. I need it to last ONE DAY. The fact that motorola let this device out of the gates blows my mind.
[Moto 360] 2fastkuztoms:
Great review, obviously the internals was a bad choice, but after using for days my 360, it wont be going back. The watch looks good, its lightweight, doesn't have a great battery, but the qi charging and how fast it charges makes me forget the battery life. I have a qi charging at work, and the other at home.

I think the problem its people expected too much of first version of the device from moto and a it to be a flawless one, early adopters always are the beta testers for products.
[Moto 360] SolarTrans:
I'd used it for about a week before writing this review ;)
[Moto 360] SolarTrans:
I would argue the Moto 360 shouldn't have been a 'beta' device. The G Watch and Gear Live were. Motorola waited an extra 3 months to release theirs to smooth out bugs and optimize it, but when it's buggier, slower, and has worse battery life than the real 'beta' devices I have to wonder what Moto was doing all that time.

And about the Qi thing: I didn't mention it in the review mainly because I forgot it even was a feature XD. I never once thought "Oh cool, this has Qi". I'm definitely not planning to use any third party chargers, and I'm guessing most others who buy this will just stick with the dock that it shipped with as well.

It's kinda cool, but I find LG's implementation with the G Watch just as good if not better, but then again I never lose stuff like charging docks :P

Also, I (along with a majority of Android users) don't have any other Qi devices, and even though I could add the functionality to my G3 if I wanted to it just charges larger capacity devices too slow for my tastes.

I'm not trying to hate on Qi, only I don't quite get all the hype/praise about wireless charging in a watch when 99% of people are just gonna use the dock it came with.
[Moto 360] 2fastkuztoms:
I know motorola did bad, but a this moment like you title said, i prefer form over function. I am techaholic and when i saw in my hand the g watch i hated it, i dont want to feel that i have a smartphone on my wrist.

I understand that for you qi charging isnt great and i know isnt a feature, for me its another story, after using it on my nexus 5, i ordered the qi back for the g3, because I missed it, i hate plugin in and out usb cables, even more using cheap ones that doesnt last, apple nail it with lightning connector but thats another story. I work 8-9 hours and having slow charge at desk doesnt bother and for me qi charging its a bonus vs propietary connectors.
[Moto 360] Bob Smith42:
Just like 99% of ChromeCast users are not going to use the mirroring feature. But, I use CC mirroring almost every day. I guess that is why I liked your review - more about value from the typical user's perspective.

Yet, Qi on the Moto 360 is inexpensive ($15 small chargers already) and the Qi technology is expanding to portable external battery power/recharger units. I think innovation on Qi quick chargers could be very helpful to wearable technology.

Again, good review, especially the comments about beta quality device stuff.
[Moto 360] SolarTrans:
Edited to mention Qi support.

Thanks for the reminder guys!
[Moto 360] slaydog:
Wireless charging is cool, but hardly a deal maker, lol. It's not like I've ever been too lazy to connect something to a charger!

Also, it provides the USB connection necessary to send large amounts of data to the watch (custom roms?), which may be a problem for the 360...
[Moto 360] SolarTrans:
Thanks! They were taken on my G3 haha
[Moto 360] TabGuy:
No, but most of us have Qi chargers on our desk, night stand and I even have one in my car. I have a 7,000 mah battery that's about the size of my Note 3 that has a built-in Qi charger. They're everywhere.

If you have a watch with a proprietary charger you only have one charger. I don't know of any of the other smart watches where you can buy an extra charger. So far, the Moto 360 is the only one.

To me that's a big deal.
[Moto 360] slaydog:
Good point... That would have been helpful, as I brought my stock charger to work a couple of times and accidentally left it there. I actually had to turn my car around once because it was a Friday, lol
[Moto 360] SolarTrans:
You can get an extra charger from the Play Store for the G Watch.

It's true though, if you charge your devices in multiple locations it's nice.

But IMO we really should only have to charge our watches when we go to sleep.

At least the G Watch and Gear Live can do that :P
[Moto 360] play2lose:
I wrote my LG G Watch vs Moto 360 comparison at the bottom of my thread here: http://xdaforums.com/moto-360/general/moto-360-compared-to-lg-g-watch-t2874806

And I completely agree with you on everything, except the voice recognition. My LG G Watch would sit there sometimes and not understand what I said, or it would just take a long time before it showed what I said. With the Moto 360 I've been able to talk to it even in noisy situations and the text appears almost instantly.

But I said the same exact thing how I think the CPU is underclocked until you touch the screen, then you notice the laggy animations for half a second before the CPU ramps up. Pretty annoying. But a gen 2 will definitely fix all the flaws on this device, and updates to this gen may even fix most of them.

1.Do you think that the lg g watch r can do better in perfomance and battery life with big battery and p-oled? Had you the opportunity to see him live?

2. Do you suggest to jump this moto 360 and wait (maybe) for g watch r?
[Moto 360] ChrisNee1988:
I think the lg watch r will have about the same battery life as the lg g watch so it should be better than the 360.

There's tradeoffs for both. Lg has a smaller screen, huge bezels, but its a full circle. Moto 360 has wireless charging and can check your heart rate periodically. Ultimately, it depends on what you think looks better.

I personally like the style of the 360 better. It has much smaller bezels and the finish looks more premium. The g watch r reminds me of a cheap sports watch.
[Moto 360] SolarTrans:
I prefer the look of the 360, but the R will have significantly better battery life than even the G Watch. Same size battery (400mAh) plus OLED=awesome.
[Moto 360] akellar:
You'll still have to charge it every day. Does it matter if you are doing so with 15% left or with 40%?
[Moto 360] poondog:
Hi, nice review! I'm thinking about one of these, haven't seen one in the flesh yet hence my question

When the screen is "off" can you see the black bar at the bottom? Or is the screen that dark?

Also when the screen is on but displaying black, is the bar visible?

OT: are kernel sources available? :)

Thanks for your time!
[Moto 360] CAP3r5:
I can see it easily but when I show it to people they don't see it when it is off or on a black screen at all until I tell them. It is not immediately noticeable to most who do not know it is there. The 3 exceptions I have found is when it is on in direct sunlight. The screen is really, really bright and in turn the blacks have a glow to them that makes the bar more visible. Also at night when the room is dark, you can see a soft glow from even the black parts of the screen which makes it easy to see the black bar at the bottom. The third and final exception is when viewed from an angle that makes a glare on the glass. When the glare is not even that bright, it still can be seen easily..

All that being said it really does not bother me at all. If I could get rid of it by making the bezel larger like on the upcoming G Watch R, I would not do so. I think keeping the very small bezels and ambient light sensor in the watch made it much better. It would of course be ideal if it wasn't there and the form factor did not change at all but alas a compromise must be made. I along with the OP (I think at least) think that the moto 360 got it right.

As a side note, I really hate the very old cpu. I would not call it horrendous when it comes to performance or battery life but it is bad in both regards. If the cpu was a snapdragon 400 or something similar I would be happy to pay an extra 50-75 more. This watch would be the most expensive but would've been by far the best.

I think motorola focused too much on keeping the price down. They had a huge following of people who were really excited about the watch but (stupidly) they still thought that they would have to keep the price competitive. I don't expect my LG G3 to be priced competitively with the Moto E, and I didn't expect/want the 360 to be priced to compete against Samsung or LG. I wanted a flagship watch and was willing to pay a flagship price for it (like many others I think). With qi, a fast cpu, BEAUTIFUL design, great mic, and background heart rate monitor; this watch would've been seen as a flagship. Instead they cut corners and because of it, I have a feeling it is going to sink fast like the titanic...
[Moto 360] fer2503:
I prefer the look of moto 360 too, also the bigger screen size, but my doubts are : the old slow and power ungry processor, small battery and LCD display not useful in always on mode. In lg g watch r the small screen and the cheap design are the problem. What do you think about? Have you already see the lg? Would you reccomend lg or motorola?
[Moto 360] poondog:
Thanks for the detailed reply. Sorry if I have come and derailed the thread in some way (I am good at that)

Might have to wait for moto 361 :)
