[Moto 360] knoxploration:
And it's not "if". It *will* degrade, without question. Assuming you only charge once daily, your battery will likely have lost 16 to 27% of its capacity within 250 cycles, and that degradation is pretty uniform -- so at one year of age, your battery will have lost about 23 to 40% of its capacity. (Source: Battery University -- http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries ).

That means that a year from now, if you only got 18 hours per day when new, you will likely get somewhere between 13 hours, 51 minutes and 10 hours, 48 minutes -- neither of which is enough to make it through a single day without recharging. (Most people sleep eight hours per night, so you need 16 hours of battery life to get through the day without recharging.)

These watches look gorgeous, but simply put, they don't have anywhere near enough battery life. Ambient mode is almost unusable even when they're brand new, and even with ambient mode off, your watch will likely be unable to get through the day within 18-24 months.

And since they're basically not repairable (iFixit gave them a 3/10 repairability score, and the watch can't be opened without breaking the rear panel, requiring a replacement), and they only have a 12-month warranty, that means you should expect to have to buy a new watch in 18-24 months time. You can pretty much guarantee that the cost of getting the battery replaced (parts and labor) will make it economically unfeasible, and nobody but Motorola will be able to swap the battery.

For this thing to have a useful life longer than two years, it needs to be lasting something like 44-45 hours now, and it doesn't.
[Moto 360] 640k:
or this needs to happen...

http://www.pcworld.com/article/2825...0-years-charge-70-percent-in-two-minutes.html

honestly, i can see myself wanting to keep this watch a minimum of two years, five years max. i would be willing to attempt to replace the battery at least once in its lifetime, even if it means replacing a few components. as soon as the extra parts are available on the intrawebz, i'm probably going to buy them.

it's just a watch, so performance isn't a factor. having the latest tech/fastest processor/storage, etc... i don't know if i'll ever install an app on my watch. i might. but i've played with apps for so long on my phone that i'm burned out with the gimmics. if in 5 years i only have to replace my battery once or twice, i think i'll be happy, provided i can get the parts.

there are screen repair shops popping up around the country. they'd be wise to add smartwatches to their roster.
[Moto 360] Andromjb:
To the OP. I never personally had issues with the watch since purchase. However, the latest update really makes the watch noticeably smoother & battery life is much improved as well.

People are too quick to judge a product or jump ship on initial release. Sometimes you just need a little patience.
[Moto 360] Bobbika:
The point of the article you linked from the Battery university, is about how to prolong battery life. One of the biggest influence on the lifetime of a battery is the maximum V of the battery: "Most Li-ions are charged to 4.20V/cell and every reduction of 0.10V/cell is said to double cycle life."

Those numbers you gave are based on a 4.2V lithium-ion battery, the moto 360 has a 3.8V battery. Sure it will degrade, but it won't be as fast as you state.
[Moto 360] Steve-x:
No matter what anyone says Motorola made a mistake with their processor choice. It does do the job and runs the watch fine but anytime the processor is running or there is any kind of screen animation it drains the battery extremely fast. This limits the potential of the watch. If you just use it as a watch and to check messages it does fine but if you want to run some apps or use it to stream music via BT to a headset it drains the battery at an alarming rate.

Its really as simple as that.
[Moto 360] chrisnewton:
Yea think he read it wrong, if you let it charge down to zero then you won't get as man cycles, charge it at around 40 percent etc will extend life of battery
[Moto 360] raduque:
I just want to say that after 12 hours I have 70% battery left. I've no interest in running apps on the watch nor using it as a music player. I only use it for time and notifications. The battery is way more than adequate for this.
[Moto 360] jaykresge:
I'm at 15.5 hours and 44%, but I didn't charge it all the way ( I don't charge overnight). This is, so far, the worst day I've had with it. So I'm happy with it.

Sorry to ask you silly questions...:) I am a newbie about PDA. And I stil didn't understand clearly concerning why extROM exist in PDA.

1. What is the real function extROM ?

2. I read from your writing, If I used c_shekhar rom it means extROM doesn't have any function anymore. Is it true ?

3. What are the risks if I merge extROM to storage ?

I hope you would like to be kind to explained this for me.

Regards

Selangkahlagi
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 2005 Upgrading] sawyer_family:
Well..

...again I could be wrong here, and c_shekhar would know more about his ROM, but I think the general idea was:

1. XDA Manufacturer (i.e. HTC) provides main system ROM i.e. the pocketpc OS

2. The network supplier, or distributer (e.g. O2) provide the extROM ROM

Then when you hard boot the OS loads and autoruns and installs the branded

applications from the extROM to give you a clean branded install after a hard boot.

The extROM is readonly and invisible so you don't mess it up and can always

get back to the standard installation O2 or other supplier provided in the box.

My understanding is it is only used during a hard boot to install branded apps.

If you decide to install a ROM like c_shekhar's then he installs all the software

you need into the main system ROM. He doesn't use extROM to provide any

other applications that would install on a hard boot. In fact I assume he

takes out any call to the autorun in extROM which is why there are no app loads

when you hard boot his ROMs.

So you have a choice. Leave extROM alone and let 16MB of nonvolatile flash

rom sit there with O2 apps you'll probably never use again. Or, merge it into

the 16MB of storage space and get circa 32mb or storage.

There are always risks from flashing a pda device and messing about with flash

memory, especially from a non-official source. But then there are huge benefits from

c_shekhar providing us with a fantastic WM5 ROM that we otherwise wouldn't

have.

Hope this is correct and helpful.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 2005 Upgrading] sawyer_family:
Wrong thread to be asking in. But SD slot works ok on my XDA with 3.50a.40CS

I'd suggest you go back to an official ROM version and verify its not a hardware fault.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 2005 Upgrading] c_shekhar:
Good Sutdy and informations for the newbees. appriciations for sawyer_family. There exists the autorun program for installing the third party S/Ws and configurations at the time of hard reset developed by buzz. But, I have not provided it in the ROM. It can install the S/Ws and configurations from the resrve space into the RAM just like it used to be with the ExtROM. Here the advantage is that ExtROM can be placed on the Storage card. Like I am using it on my device to install the third party S/Ws and all the stuff at the time of hard reset. I have placed all these stuff in folder called "Storage Card/ExtROM". May be I provide it in my next release If people require. ......

On my Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 (AT&T) I have installed, via Safestrap, the Google Play Edition (GPE) ROM, version 4.4.4, according to XDA Thread starting at

I also installed the XPosed and GravityBox modules.

In the Contacts (People) app, when I try to add a contact, I am asked to select a Google account where the contact should be synchronized. I have two Google accounts. Selecting either one of them causes the Contacts app to crash with the message "Unfortunately, Contacts has stopped."

I've tried clearing the app cache. It did not help.

When I flashed it my phone was empty and working good but I had one problem. As the phone was empty I had occupied 550 MB Which I suspect were the application cache or data or something like that.

I have already tried:

1.reflash the rom

2.factory reset

3.hard reset

4.flash another recovery(went from CWM to philz touch)

5.did the same steps again.

Hi, all.

I just got a used S4 on NC5, stock. Keeps flipping between LTE, 3G, no data. Mostly 3G. I'm in a good coverage area. I've tried replacing the SIM & doing a factory reset from recovery. No wifi or bluetooth trouble that I've noticed. Rooted w/towelroot, no safestrap. Is my best bet to ODIN to a clean version of NC5 (and should I do ful-wie or no wipe?), or is there another fix I should try first? Saw a flashing of an NC module in another thread for "wifi/data/bluetooth issues," but not clear whether that's just from something resulting from safestrap.

Thanks in advance for all help.

[HTC Sensation XL] Gatosbil:
As I can see to the image you have attached you are S-OFFed and you have an eng bootloader (JuopunutBear).So maybe your eng bootloader has not the ability to write an other CID to your device.If you change the JuopunutBear hboot with the original one you could possibly write the CID you want by giving the command fastboot oem writecid {yourcid}.

You can also change your cid by hexediting your misc partition.Just find your cid and replace it with the one you want.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] lx_t:
in my experience when using a power supply for a device not intended to be used with, you need to ensure polarity (+ and -, blew up an electronic game once as a kid) is correct and voltage has to be near correct (enough volts but not too much volts to blow it). Amps doesn't matter because this is a rating that the supply can handle (much like a 6 way gang power strip - 13amp max). The device will draw the current it needs.

Hi there,

i just want to know who had the same experience as i had.

We're talking about an HTC m7ul, CyanogenMod, Unlocked

I was trying "Dubstep Hero" as the phone suddenly freezed, even the sound was stuck.

Then it turn off without any warning.

First i tried to reboot it normally, nothing happend.

I guess, the battery should have had about 40%.

Next Chance i thougt would be to reboot into the Bootloader / Recovery (VolUp+Pwr).

Nothing happend. Then i tried to charge the Phone, no red LED came on.

I let the phone on the stock power adapter over night and gave it another try.

Still no reaction.

After that my last attempt to get it back to life with attaching it to my computer.

Nothing was recognized, "lsusb" wasn't able to find anything attached, which could be some kind of phone.

I also tried the variant with pressing buttons for several minutes, without success.

The Phone was about 365 days and 2 hours old.

Here in Germany there is a warranty of 2 years so i returned the phone where "Saturn" will send it to HTC or some other authorized Service Partner.

Hoping that it will be back soon and i don't have any issues about the custom ROM or stuff like that.

btw...

I tried to get an OnePlus One from Coolicool.com. Don't ever buy anything there.

I still got nothing, my only luck is that i paid with paypal.

They even have not shipped it since 3 weeks! Support promised, shipping has already been done...

Next Tuesday i will try to get my Money back.

Finally my Question to u:

Have u or Have u Had the same problems / issues?

Did your Phone came back to life?

What have you done to bring it back to life?

Sorry for my english, it's not that great ;)

Hope you figure out, how things are meant to be..

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Generally, yes. As long as your phone doesn't have a read/write protection on the /system partition that can't be bypassed with root access, then it's fairly straightforward. You just need to find the Gapps that match with the system update you are on and assuming you have root, then you would use a file manager with root access to make the system read/write and to move the apks into the correct /system folder. This folder will be either /system/app or /system/priv-app depending on the phone, update, and which Google app. Once you move the apps into the correct spots, then you will need to change the permissions to 0644 http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-any-app-as-system-app-on-android/ (I think that ES's menus have changed slightly with a few updates, but same idea...) or with Root Explorer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7pKTOiNOVQ
