[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrvirginia:
pretty much one of the biggest pluses of the X and why i'm on board. very good to hear this is going to be a continued trend with this device.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0.0:
this is good news. i didn't know that the old Moto X updates were really quick. it is quicker than i thought. now for the new Moto X, it is going to be good!

will the old Moto X be getting L too?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phermey:
i completely agree.

the old one started with 4.2.2. when kitkat was released, some of the n5(s) got the update, but google immediately stopped the roll out because encrypted devices were getting bricked. a few days later (nine days after the announcement if i remember), the verizon phone got it. they ran the soak test side by side with the update to everyone else on verizon. then the next week att and tmo got it. sprint followed shortly thereafter. and i still had kit kat on my x for a 'minute' before my n7 got it.

the important thing to note is the og moto x was absolutely flawless on 4.2.2. then moto releases an update that they did not test and introduced all kinds of annoying bugs. it took seconds just to unlock and such. the app updates came a week later. and then were finally fixed, pretty much, a couple of weeks after that. but the og x has never been as good as it was when it was on 4.2.2.

another problem is that moto likes to tout how many of their customers are on the latest and greatest. so the way they make sure that 96% of their devices are running the current update is they pop up the update notification page on literally every click you make on the phone. the shove the update down your throat so to speak. i personally like to find out what problems peopl are having first... and then download. but i do realize that i am in the minority on that one.

the other updates that we have received on the moto were properly tested before released. in the end... fast updates have their pros, but they also have their drawbacks.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0.0:
thanks for that deep info. it makes sense, fast isn't always better. I did read that 4.4.4 screwed up the OG Moto X, which was kind of a letdown. but I really feel that Android L is going to be complete, in a sense of no major bugs when it releases. I want that quickly. having a L preview definitely helps in squashing the bugs, which is why I am more confident in the L update being rolled out quickly not destroying the phone than all the other Android updates
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bozzykid:
That isn't true. Google ships Motorola the final Android L code before the public. But it will take time to merge their changes. People incorrectly assume Motorola runs stock android. They use a custom kernel and have a good bit of changes under the hood. I'm sure they will push L quickly after Google announces it, but it is not a simple process.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phermey:
i am assuming the preview and the pdk that they have their hands on will allow for them to have the kernel ready. and moto gets it the same time we do...according to the htc infographic.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bozzykid:
Venders get the code before the public does. Google announced this quite a while ago to speed up releases.

i had an old gingerbread phone which don't have inbuilt storage and fully dependable on sdcard even for camera. so i tried to mount some memory of system partition as internal memory by changing in init.rc but somebit i succeeded. the phone created a folder sdcard1 in system partition. but didn't show up in file manager. even around 50 mb will sufficient for me and around 140 mb of system partition is free after deodex my rom and cleaning some files.
[XDA Assist] Darth:
Hi,

Would need to know your make and model of device to point you in the right direction for help.

Thanks!
[XDA Assist] gursewak.10:
handset is micromaxx and its has Android 2.3.5
[XDA Assist] Darth:
Still need the exact model. There are many micro max devices. Some have a section on XDA and some don't. Knowing the model is very important, as doing things that aren't designed for your exact model can cause serious issues.
[XDA Assist] gursewak.10:
its a35 bolt and even i have spice mi 353 same problem. same specification. and also i am using modified spice mi 353 rom on a35 bolt.
[XDA Assist] Darth:
Sorry, but there's no section for either device, so you would need to ask for help here,

Anyone seen any documentation or reviews of the Montblanc accessories? I'm interested in the case.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Dat Noob:
You can look at the products at their website here. Keep in mind though that they're extremely expensive, here are the products on their store. Yes, you read those prices correctly,

You can see someone using one of their pens here.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jah:
I did check out the Montblanc site. But thanks for the links. I am hoping someone reviews these products.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Dat Noob:
No problem. I'm not interested in buying anything from them, but it is interesting to see what they can do better. Haven't found anything other than that video that showcases their products for the Note 4. Guess we'll have to wait for October.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] god2many:
Good god, how can they justify charging that much for a case?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] sjm1982:
I wish they would just make a decent leather flip at a reasonable price rather than this cheap plastic cr@p they have on the s5 and note 4 cases. I don't care if it says mont blanc to be honest I would rather it didn't as most people I know that use a mont blanc are rather pretentious
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jah:
I agree I would like a real leather flip cover that also replaces the back cover. How difficult can it be?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] BasPilot:
Mont Blanc is the only thing you're paying for. The probability of the quality being low is also very low, but the thing you're paying for is that star. The Mont Blanc Star is much more powerful than the Nike check, or most any logo in the world of buying everyday things that are really expensive. Does a Bentley get you somewhere more so than does a Ford? No, if you're there, you're there. Does a Bentley get you there more comfortably? Arguably, but at the same time, arguably not depending on who you ask. No F150 man will ever be driving a Bentley and be happy about it. It's really about your preference and if 350 dollars is nothing for you then you will not care about that price tag anyway and buy it. It's more something of soft leather, hand stitched, all that snooty crap.

That being said, I am still waiting in this lifetime to buy my first Mont Blanc. The closes I have come is Cross... so... you know where I lie on this list.

PS - I drive a 99 Jeep Wrangler lol

he babbled on for far too long to tell us that he has a stylus pen with a star on top......
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] thehoots:
To me, this is comparable between choosing between the new iPhone and the Note 4.

Do I want to spend more money for the brand as opposed to the features? The damn case can't even hold cards? Really?

I'll keep my eye on the case and if I choose to make the risk in purchasing the case then i will be sure to provide a review; if I end upI getting the case, please dont consider me pretentious :cool:
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jah:
I'm going to wait until they the cases in stock at the UK Westfield shopping mall at Stratford as want to check them
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] thehoots:
That would be most appreciated for you to share your thoughts from seeing it in person.

I do not have any places near my location for me to view it in person.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jah:

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] thehoots:
Thanks for showing off some pictures of the case.

It would be most appreciated if you are able to let us know how you think the case is. It looks sleek and classy jn my opinion, but it would be nice to see how well it can protect the phone toting such a price tag.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jah:
Probably £100 too expensive for what it is. Super high quality and lovely finish. But here is the kicker - made in Korea. Makes me think actually made by Samsung supplier. Will share more views over the weekend.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] thehoots:
Haha I would not be surprised with that fact as well.

It would be a clever marketing scheme. There are individuals out there that would pay a premium for something that is not widely available to other individuals simply because of the price tag.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mrma0100:
that's strange. usually Montblanc leather goods are made in Germany . looks very executive :) . will be waiting for your review.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jah:
Yes shipped from Germany but manufactured in Korea
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] luiztfc:
Thank you for the pictures. The case looks lovely (even though I'd choose the soft leather one :p). How much did you pay, if you don't mind me asking.

What do you think about the "exclusive" features, i.e. fountain pen style on s note?

I'm seriously considering buying this...
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jah:
Well my White Note 4 has arrived at home. Will test the features of the case tomorrow once I have the rest of the device set up.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jah:
Okay first on price and quality. The UK price is £160 and in my view the quality justifies £100 price tag. The fit and finish once attached to a metal frame Note 4 makes the whole setup feels very special. The 3 sides don't provide any extra overhang like the Note 3 S View case so minimum drop protection but this design makes the Note 4 look and feel more compact than it is. When you attach the cover the Note 4 downloads additional software from the Play store which adds a new note book type to S Note app also adds more fountain pen styles. The S Pen is so much better now.

I don't think you should use a tempered glass screen protector as the Mont Blanc cover will not shut flat. At the moment it does not close flat but I am confident that once used for a while it will losen up.

And one more thing, the inside and outside permiter of the case has real quality stitching!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] MISSDIVA:
Photos of phone in case please. Thank you. :D
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jah:
Pictures of case and Note 4
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] thehoots:
It is disheartening to hear about the lack of protection along the edges, however; the case may offer an easier grasp in the phone because of the flap.

It would suck to have a nice phone and a nice case to then drop it and have to shell out more money.

That case looks sexy though
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jah:
I think most luxury items are designed for looks as opposed to function like protection.

as a fountain pen collector, the new s - pen nib adds a new dimension to writing on a phablet.

Sad im on a tight bugjet because i would buy that case. Prestige always turn me on.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jah:
I am interested in the Pix version but not sure the stylus would be better than the £15 Wacom Bamboo Feel pen for the Note series
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jah:
Montblanc Starwalker Pen. Messy as no where to store the standard fine liner refill.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] julz:
The price of the Pix seems to be fair I think given the price of a Montblanc pen. I think i want both the case and the pen but it's an expensive purchase. At least with the pen you can use it with a normal ink refill. If only my Surface Pro 3 used a wacom stylus like the old SP2 then id definitely get the pen to use on my phone and PC
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jah:
Agreed. The Pix is good value if you want a Montblanc pen. The precision of this Montblanc e-pen is better than other option I have tried. Can't wait to try it with the rumoured Note 10.1 2015
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] julz:
Any chance you're able to share a copy of the 'app' that enables the fountain pen when you attach the Montblanc case? Not sure if this is possible but I'm guessing theres an APK that enables this feature?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] iridaki:
I can't believe these prices!! :eek: :eek: :eek:
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jah:
The Montblanc case cover closes even if you use a tempered glass protector. Currently using the Samar protector from Amazon. See here http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00NBW1TAY/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1415487452&sr=8-1&pi=SX200_QL40

how are you liking the eStarwalker so far? i purchased one a few days ago and so far I am loving it. my only gripe is that i have no place to store the fineliner on my person, so swapping to ink mid day just seems awkward. i would have preferred a design that was double sided....or......at least some sort of storage case that let you easily transport the starwalker conversion to fineliner. i suppose i can find some cheap alternative case to carry the refill....have you found a solution?

thanks and i hope you're enjoying it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jah:
Really nice. Very accurate and precise. Don't like position of the button. Would have preferred a metal casing for the S Pen refill. Annoyed montblanc don't provide a storage case for the fine liner refill. Also using the hard waring case as well. Good combination.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arkhantos:
just got the pix and im loving it the grip of the pen is amazing making writing on the screen much better however the fact that i dont have a place to store the writing part is anoing.

Thank you guys for such valuable feedback, it'll definitely help others to consider it.

Infact it is really disappointing after seeing and hearing of the product by Montblanc.

By the way kindly let us know the usage of your flip cover with mobile, is it your daily driver or occasionally

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] daZza92:
Hey there,

I just wanted to update to another ROM and put the .zip file on my device and then rebooted to recovery and wiped my cache etc.

Somehow the .zip file is missing as well now though, I'm not sure why but it seems to have been deleted when I cleared the cache, etc.

Now I'm left without a .zip file to flash and a totally wiped system without a ROM :/

Is there a way to copy data from PC to the Nexus 7 device while in recovery mode? I tried connecting it via USB but it doesn't show up...

edit: Well after a lot of reading it looks like fastboot is the only option for me. Google USB drivers don't seem to be compatible with Windows 8.1 64bit and therefore I cant get my device to show up in "adb devices". Luckily "fastboot devices" works and I guess I'll just try flashing the stock recovery image now.

That's why I have bought an OTG cable (B letter inscribed on the cable, the others I've tried (4 models) without that B, didn't work with my flo, dunno why) and I have an USB strick to get files like zips from my PC. Or get a stick with both micro USB and USB connections.

Hello all,

I was wondering if anybody here has purchased and used this accessory:

http://www.amazon.com/Warranty-Zero...ck-kickstand/dp/B00IMOCZOA/ref=cm_wl_huc_item

It is a 3500mAh battery that sits in a shock resistant case. What have you experienced with it? How is the audio quality? How long does it last for you and what type of user are you (power, average, heavy data, ect.).

Thanks in advance for the input.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] guess005:
I can't speak to this exact one, but the quality of their batteries are good.

I had the big giant one for my old galaxy nexus. It still is going strong to this day with that battery pack, over a year when I stopped using it daily.

-guess
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ghost0001:
I too have purchased one for my S4 and it is still going strong for my other phone. I just wanted to know how long it lasted for someone who is a power user like myself. Thanks for the info.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] guess005:
Yeah, that galaxy nexus one has survived countless thermal shutoffs.

-guess
[Nexus 5 Accessories] PsychDrummer:
It more than doubles your battery capacity, so I would say it should last you at least twice as long as it normally does.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonstowe78:
Not sure what happened, but this is what's going' on. I'm working with SM-T210R / updated to the 4.4.2 - Did not like the issues with Custom Recoveries, so I got into TWRP - Restored my stock rom backup and everything restored fine and as expected. I went to Root the device, using RootJunky's TWRP recovery and root on YouTube (which I've done many times and never had an issue - I'm not a noob, but, still have a lot to learn) Anyways - when you go swipe to reboot the system, TWRP asks you about installing Supersu for Root access, and of course, you go with it. Well, since that swipe - it keeps rebooting into TWRP - I cant get to the system. I used Odin to install Philz and same thing, kept rebooting into Philz. I've tried re-restoring my back up and now it wont .... it acts like it is, but then it keeps throwing me back into the custom recovery being used ... any ideas or help is greatly appreciated!

PS - Thank you to gr8nole and RootJunky - I'm always using your guys' methods and suggestions.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sscsps:
Install stock recovery from Odin to get out of recovery bootloop
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonstowe78:
ok I will try that now ... I hope youre right!
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmatney:
If you reboot to recovery using any method other than the three button reboot, you'll be stuck in recovery.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sscsps:
Well, yeah, that's the reason,

According to gr8nole, bootloader is responsible for this, the updated version of bootloader have this problem
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonstowe78:
That's IF you are using the Stock 4.4.2 ... I restored my Stock 4.1.2 before all this started happening ... Regardless, thank you guys for your suggestions, but its all good now. After work I came home and decided to give it one more try, using Odin to put Philz on and go from there, and this time it took. Once I got Philz on, I was able to (again) restore my 4.1.2 stock backup (fix the flickering screen of course) and the get back to Nolekat v1.9 - thank GOD!
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sscsps:
No, it can happen if you are on 4.1.2 too, it happened to me on my SM-T211 while running 4.1.2 and I did used a software method to reboot to recovery and was stuck in recovery bootloop
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sscsps:
It will happen if you ever updated the firmware once, no matter if you revert back to previous version later
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonstowe78:
Good to know ... GREAT, so since I updated that ONE time, from now on I can NEVER boot into recovery via software? It'll always be the 3B method .... that sucks! lol
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sscsps:
Yes :(

Unless someone makes a fix for that!
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ameva:
I've been trying to find a way to downgrade back to 4.1.2 after finding out about kitkat's flaws. After I installed it, I noticed three things:

- NO extSD card permission

- FASTER battery drainage (it takes a whole day to charge it back from 0)

- Games like Temple Run can no longer be played cause tilt sensor malfunctions - accelerometer issues)

The first two are a major let down. If I had known about this prior the upgrade, I would have kept JB 4.1.2.

Now I'm looking for ways to safely downgrade back to Jelly Bean. From what I'd read, people are getting stuck in custom recovery because the kitkat bootloader or whatever is not compatible (or something like that)? Also, those who have successfully managed to get back to JB now have the issue of not being able to charge their sm-t210R unless it's turned ON. So if we fix one issue, we still got the other.

@jonstowe78, are you having any issues with charging while your device is turned off?

I read about flashing Philz custom recovery for sm-t20R, and after a (failed) attempt to root my tab 3 (which put me off from rooting), I know a bit about the 3B method to reboot. I flashed a custom 4.1.2 JB stock rom using Odin and that's how I got rid of the messed up screen that happened after I rooted.

I would LIKE to root to NoleKat, but like I said, one bad experience with rooting, forever leery of it. Unless someone can help me, please?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LazyPeon:
Ditto that. I got the firmware from sammobile.com & flashed (AP mode in Odin 3.09) and I was no longer stuck. At that point, I had stock 4.4.2. I then flashed phil via Odin 3.09 (AP) - the gr8nole version (check the nolekat thread) and was able to install any ROM I wanted.

Good luck
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sscsps:
Download stock md5 of 4.1.2 for your country from sammobile.com and flash it from Odin to downgrade to 4.1.2,
