[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ledocbio:
Hi all

I have recently started hearing some static/crackling sound on my phone's earpiece, same with headphones.

Any idea what could be going on? Is my phone a goner?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jserrano56:
Hey guys,

I was wondering if there are any ROMs on here that support USB OTG?

Any help would be greatly appreciated
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrkhigh:
No. The kfhd does not support otg.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SafinWasi:
As far as now,no. It's a kernel feature. But we're working on getting it implemented.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lyf1623:
Pac rom has a kernel that supports otg but the main os dosent have support
[X 2014 General] Juliann826:
I was so excited to get the 2014 Moto X and I was going to order it through MotoMaker but the wait was absolutely ridiculous. So I went to a local Verizon store and purchased the black 16GB version. I was VERY happy with this device, however with all the news about the DROID Turbo....how could I not return it and wait for that instead? So that's what I did..anyone else do that or consider doing that?
[X 2014 General] edwardgtxy:
Screen defect of excessive color shifts when tilting our screen. Basically when showing a page white background (like gmail or google's search page), the screen would appear yellow tinted when looking straight, and appear blue tinted when tilted to any direction for a few degrees. It is more obvious under full brightness and it will look like a yellow/orange blob appearing and disappearing as you tilt the screen.
[X 2014 General] ref1ux:
Yeah, I returned my MotoMaker version. Didn't like the colour. But bought a black one off Amazon.

Not convinced it's worth £200 over a Nexus 5 though.
[X 2014 General] Juliann826:
I never noticed that issue with mine. However, I have heard this is a common issue.
[X 2014 General] Tykin:
Huh. I didn't notice this about my phone until I read this post. Is this a manufacturing defect that I should exchange the phone for?
[X 2014 General] sgtmedeiros:
Its a symptom of older amoled tech.
[X 2014 General] Diesel779:
Does this issue usually show straight away as soon as you switch the device on, or is it something that can develop at any time? My Moto X 2014 only arrived today and I love it, the screen looks fine but now I'm worried that I'm going like this device the more I use it and then suffer this screen issue. How common is it?
[X 2014 General] sgtmedeiros:
Its universal and immediate when you turn it on. If you can't notice it look at something like an iPad or iPhone or TV then look back and you'll see it.
[X 2014 General] Diesel779:
Yeah I can see it now. I can live with that though as long as I know my device isn't faulty. Thanks for the fast reply.
[X 2014 General] eksasol:
Well I'm not returning it but selling it, the main reason is because the Nexus 6 have better hardware with some of the same features of the X. I'm interested in the better camera, dual speakers, higher res screen and much bigger battery. I'm disappointed the Moto X didn't get some of these things. I'd probably be content with my Moto X if the Nexus 6 didn't exist or had better hardware.

I can't deal with large phones, so I bought a used Moto X for $165. I'm not sure if I can use the N6 as the daily driver due to the size.
[X 2014 General] sgtmedeiros:
Temp fix is to download screen adjuster and have it run on boot. Then set blue to 15 and disable the notification. Its like it never happened haha.
[X 2014 General] Diesel779:
Haha. Thanks again. I've just switched from an M8 and in my opinion this X 2014 is a much better device.
[X 2014 General] edwardgtxy:
You mean the yellow tint or color shift when tilting?
[X 2014 General] sgtmedeiros:
The color shift happens to most phones. The screen adjuster for the most part fixes the yellow.
[X 2014 General] edwardgtxy:
Great solution! It really helps to remove the orange/yellow look and makes everything more natural. I find 15 a bit too cold for my taste but 10 works really well.
[X 2014 General] qwerty12601:
Screen adjuster...way too many device permissions. View/modify web bookmarks and history? wtf for?
[X 2014 General] Infekxion:
Are you using Screen Adjuster or Screen Tint Adjuster? I use the later and it has three permissions.

Sent from my XT1097 Victara
[X 2014 General] qwerty12601:
I just checked "screen adjuster", it has way too many permissions. Does screen tint adjuster adjust color?
[X 2014 General] Infekxion:
Yes it does. I set it like this to add some cool to my screen without turning blacks blue.

[X 2014 General] markwebb:
Sold my pure edition on Swappa. I didn't like the battery life, camera and lack of stereo speakers ( which were included on the lesser model moto G) for a flagship device. Waiting for the Nexus 6.
[X 2014 General] qwerty12601:
downloaded this. Wow! Really makes the whites cooler! And it has the option to remove the running icon. This is huge!
[X 2014 General] butchibabu:
I got my Moto X 2014 in India, I got a defect power button. The power button isn't straight. And I think my volume rocker is kinda in too. Because i had bought two devices, In which one my brother is using and i had compared with that device that looks perfect. I had ordered for a replacement, they still don't follow up on it.
[X 2014 General] d.cortez:
this is just a heads up for those that don't already know that this app can disable the "Install" button when manually installing apks. i had to disable (or disable and reboot) the app (Screen Tint Adjuster) to reverse this effect.
[X 2014 General] qwerty12601:
Good info.
[X 2014 General] cb474:
I agree that the Nexus 6 has several nice hardware featiures that the 2nd Gen Moto X lacks. Keep in mind that it is not yet clear that the Nexus 6 has the four microphone noise cancellation, found in the 2nd Gen Moto X. It's not listed in the specs or mentioned in any of the press releases. So, for those who care about noise cancellation, this could be an important benefit to the 2nd Gen Moto X.
[X 2014 General] rahulsaxena17:
I have read in some forums that apps like Screen Adjuster are not good for Amoled Screens as it effects the life of the display..Is that true? I am confused whether to use the app or not..Help!!
[X 2014 General] jphilippon:
The app Screen Adjustor paid version requires no permissions. You can disable the notification via the app settings (android settings not the app itself).

I have mine on +2 blue and it's great. I'd like to know if this negatively affects the lifespan also.
[X 2014 General] AndroidMilos:
Yep, I bought mine, had it for two days, found out the Droid Turbo was released, sent back my Moto X, bought my Turbo (on contract) with VZ and couldn't be more happier. The Turbo fits in the hand a lot nicer and of course the specs were also nicer along with 64 GB internal sd. I am waiting for my refund from Motorola (it has been 12 days) for the Moto X which I sent to them. THey received it, acknowledged it and told me the refund will happen in 6-12 business days.
[X 2014 General] bitwiser:
I have both the M8 Dev ed. and the Moto X 32gb...now that M8 has lollipop...man it is hard to decide which to use or keep. I really hated giving up the better battery life, camera and SD card of the M8.
[X 2014 General] Diesel779:
Yeah I've really missed the battery life on my M8. I was thinking of selling my Moto X 2014 and going back to the M8, but I love the display on my Moto.
[X 2014 General] bitwiser:
I prefer the feel and the size of the Moto X over the M8 ... if HTC would have just removed the black bar with the HTC logo on it the phone would have been the perfect size. And...if they would have bumped the camera to 8 mp...we would not even be having this discussion because I'd still be on the M8. LOL

Hold the M8 and the Moto next to each other...I'm not sure I would say the Moto screen is better...yellowish compared to M8 but blacks are darker....so just depends on what you prefer.
[X 2014 General] Diesel779:
I prefer the AMOLED display. However if the M8 had of been 5.2 inch and slightly wider with a better camera like you I would never have switched. The M8 is a great device. If HTC iron out those few things with the M9 I'll be switching back and never leaving lol.
[X 2014 General] bitwiser:
Well, I'll switch back...but not sure about the "never" leaving...LOL there is always better right around the corner in this industry. I like the width of the m8 over Moto X though...I think the width of M8 is my sweet spot on size. I would take either screen. However I do wish the brightness level was better on Moto X.
[X 2014 General] Diesel779:
I could say similar things about the Moto though. If it had a better battery I'd be 100% happy with this device. The battery life on my M8 was awesome really that's the only thing I miss. I was looking at the Nexus 6, but, for me it's just too big and my Moto is the perfect size for me.
[X 2014 General] bitwiser:
I agree. Put a SD slot and bigger batter on Moto X and I'd stay with it any day over M8. I like the feel of it (black leather back with white face). I had the M8, switched to LG G3, then back to M8 (amazed at how fast it seemed compared to G3 and realized M8 is as big as i can go for comfort). I still have all 3 but selling the LG currently.
[X 2014 General] Diesel779:
I had the G3, switched to the M8, Then switched to the Moto X. I just hope that now Lenovo own Motorola they realize that all they need to do next year is to build on what they have and not try and reinvent the wheel. Seeing their recent blatant rip off of the iPhone 6 though I'm not going to hold out too much hope.
[X 2014 General] Sdobron:
What did Moto rip off of the iPhone 6?

Also - lot of people are complaining about battery life on Moto X but it's still pretty great - gets me a whole day of use with some to spare. Only gonna get better when all the lollipop bugs get cleaned up.
[X 2014 General] Diesel779:
Lenovo clearly ripped off the iPhone 6 design here: http://www.androidauthority.com/lenovos-s90-sisley-iphone-6-copy-564318/ I'm supprised you haven't read about it it's bee all over the net. I wasn't complaining about my Moto X 2014, I love it. I said I would be 100% happy if it had a better battery. Mine gets me through the day too.
[X 2014 General] Sdobron:
Missed that and wow. Nice price though! Haha
[X 2014 General] Diesel779:
Yeah I was tempted lol. To be honest I think people are always going to be accused of copying other manufacturers, there's only so much you can do with a phone isn't there. I'm surprised Apple haven't got the lawyers out though lol.
[X 2014 General] shahrukhraza:
Hello guys. I just have one question (regarding the returns).

So you know how they have the 14-day return policy? Since the leather was peeling when it came, do you know if i have to give it back right away or can i wait until they give me the replacement?

Thanks and I'm loving the phone :D, coming from a galaxy nexus.
[X 2014 General] Sdobron:
If you choose expedited exchange then you can send it when the replacement arrives
[X 2014 General] shahrukhraza:
Oh okay thanks!
[X 2014 General] Nastrodamous:
probably going to return it for the awful awful yellow tint.
[X 2014 General] Sdobron:
Custom kernel will be able to fix that software side..
[X 2014 General] mario24601:
I returned due to size. Coming from N4. Then I got z3 compact, great size but screen sensitivity issue so just returned it. Back on my N4 and with lollipop its chugging along. On the hunt for another sub 5 in phone.
[X 2014 General] jphilippon:
I really think anyone could get used to the size if they gave it time. Even coming from iPhones.
[X 2014 General] DigitalUnderground:
Is the N5 too big for you? It's 4.95"
[X 2014 General] mario24601:
Yeah might get it a try.
[X 2014 General] DigitalUnderground:
It's been my phone for the last year and it's been extremely solid
[X 2014 General] Masteryates:
Have to agree, mines had a big drop and is still identical to the day I bought it.

Upgraded to Lollipop and hated it. So glad the Nexus 5 gave me the choice to go back to KK.

Tempted by the X as I want the choice which OS I use + the always listening features.
[X 2014 General] DigitalUnderground:
So far... I love my X... But other than build and call quality... Its not much different than the n5
[X 2014 General] slickw:
Are there any availiable ?

i dont see any development at all for this device :( its the only thing stoping me from buying it.
[X 2014 General] markwebb:
True but IMHO, the moto tweaks make it special and not really needed. But, exposed is missing due to ART, and that I miss.
[X 2014 General] CWick4141:
I agree completely.. I don't see a need at all for a custom ROM with this device.. While xposed would be nice for 5.0 I can live without it.. I do however think we could benefit from a custom kernel
[X 2014 General] brackett5:
I love the moto x and lollipop. However....I think I'm going to go to the xperia z3. What are your thoughts??
[X 2014 General] varignet:
I have a z3 compact and going to get a motox instead.

The z3 compact is lovely but the screen way too small, also one of the sony ui customizations is a deal breaker for me: drop down notifications show up when you just tap lightly the top of the screen making it too susceptible to accidental taps. This applies to the whole of the z3 family.
[X 2014 General] ChrisJ:
Firstly, a bit of phone history. Dell Streak 5, Samsung Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, Nexus 5. Looked forward to the Nexus 6 but was a bit conflicted about the size. Something bigger than the Nexus 5 would have been nice (remember I used to have a Dell Streak so was used to *big*) but was the Nexus 6 too big?

Anyway, partly due to supply issues with the N6 and partly due to the concerns I had over it's size I started looking at the Moto X 2014. Stock Android (after 4 Nexus phones nothing else will do), great build quality etc. Convinced myself and ordered one.

Basically after a week I decided to return it. The catalyst was actually the cyber Monday discounts, I was in my 14 day return window and Motorola wouldn't give me the £100 credit. £100 can't be ignored so I told them I wanted to return and re-order and they sent me the RMA and shipping labels. However, in the week I had it I had developed a few niggles with it which I'll summarise below. It is probably worth saying though, had it not been for the cyber monday discount I would have likely kept it.

What I loved about the X:

- Build quality. Really solid after the Nexus 4 and 5. They weren't bad but they were obviously built to a (low) price. The Moto X is oh so solid and lovely to hold.

- Stock Android. I can't emphasize how much I hate manufacturers skins and this I mostly why I have stuck Nexus phones. The Moto X and its timely updates were a big bonus. (I know the European XT1092 hasn't got the OTA yet but it will be sooner rather than later).

- Screen. I love the inky blacks of AMOLED.

- The Moto additions to the software. They are subtle, they add value and they don't detract from the stock experience. The possible exception is the Spotlight thing which was a bit annoying when it popped up.

What I didn't like so much:

- Camera was a bit pants. I know the Nexus line aren't renowned for their cameras but the Moto X shooter was a bit meh. Also, I kind of like the stock camera app.

- No wireless charging. Since the N4 I have amassed a plethora of wireless charging pads at home and work and I really missed just plonking the phone down on top of one.

- No turbo charger in the box. The EU Pure edition just gets a regular charger in the box instead of a turbo charger which is a bit tight IMO. They don't even have it available as an accessory on the UK website.

- Screen. While I loved the inky blacks, I wasn't so keen on the dominant reds.

- Screen size. Not a criticism but just personal preference, the size delta to the N5 just wasn't big enough.

- Dialer. The AOSP dialer is a bit crap compared to the Google Nexus dialer. I know you can root and install it but still.

So, after a bit of deliberation I've decided to go for the N6 after all. All the good points of the Moto X plus the features that I missed.

TL;DR: Moto X is a great phone but it looks like a big old Nexus 6 is better for me.
[X 2014 General] Masteryates:
Thanks. :highfive:

I'm not really after anything that is much different from my Nexus 5. Its the best phone I've ever owned. I do prefer OLED screens and like the idea of the voice functions. :victory:

I really think the lack of the notification LED is a massive mistake though. If I can see my notification LED flashing a few metres away, I'd like to be able to shout to my phone to read the text etc. :mad:
[X 2014 General] jaydubbs:
As long as you're able to root, you can use Lightflow to enable and use the led hidden in the top speaker grille. There's a thread within this very X forum with the directions.
[X 2014 General] DigitalUnderground:
Your whole screen flashing replaces the led. Works great
[X 2014 General] mjs2011:
I just got this phone today after returning my Note 4 within the 14 day return window. Wow this phone is great. I do have a Nexus 6 on its way though and I am suddenly torn on if I want to just refuse the package and keep this phone.
[X 2014 General] h4rri3r:
I did return mine, but I miss it already. I'ts an amazing device.

I'll probably pass this gen Moto X and get the next one right away. I just couldn't justify the extra money, comparing to the Nexus 5, while having less storage space. 16gb just couldn't do it. Also, I became afraid of the OLED burn in, even though I really like the screen, and the battery life being like the Nexus 5... I'll just get a Nexus 5 for now and the Moto 360. Next gen, if Motorola fixs these small issues and releases the 32gb as standard in Europe, I'll jump in without a thought.

Edit: Actually, I'm now thinking that I will miss the Moto X and its exclusive features. Oh well, I can't just decide myself!
[X 2014 General] Semseddin:
After reading tons of reviews for the X 2014, Turbo and Nexus 6, i'm leaning towards to X 2014 but i have doubts about Battery Life and Camera quality. Are those really that bad like reviewers report ? I've hold all of these 3 devices in my hand and X 2014 was the best for my small hands and i really liked how it feels, premium with leather and metal.
[X 2014 General] mjs2011:
I will say that as much as I enjoy this phone so far, the battery life and camera definitely are weaknesses. When I get my Nexus 6 this week, I will definitely take some comparisons.
[X 2014 General] DigitalUnderground:
I just returned the at&t locked down moto x and went back to my N5. I missed my unlocked bootloader, custom recovery, root, lollipop, LCD, etc...

Its a beautiful device, with amazing build quality... But it wasn't for me. I tried to love it. The camera is even a lot better then the reputation it got.

I let my gal use my upgrade on an M8... what an amazing piece of work that device is. I kinda want the gpe now
[X 2014 General] Restola:
The camera on the Turbo is nearly unusable indoors if there is *any* motion. Imagine touching the screen to take a photo then slowly say "one one thousand" and that's how long it will take before the photo snaps. Your subject will be a fuzzy mess if it moved an inch. This is with HDR turned off.

The battery is nice though on the turbo, roughly 2x what I would get from my 2014 moto x (which I returned, and am now repurchasing).
[X 2014 General] osoft:
Returned due to peeling back.

Bought a plastic back one instead.
[X 2014 General] thedonkeyslayer:
Did you have wood? When did you order/receive?

I ordered a bamboo back last week, it's scheduled to arrive from China on Thursday. I was hoping that this was no longer an issue...
[X 2014 General] scottricketts:
Battery life is about the same as what my G2 was HOWEVER with the Turbo Charger you pop it on there for about 30 minutes and you're practically recharged. Liked that feature so much I ordered a second one the other day.

I've only encountered one problem with the camera: using it on my bank's app. It took my three shots to get a good one of the back of the check for a mobile deposit. I use the Google Camera and FV-5 as my cameras when doing anything and the quality of the image is great. Especially now with the Google Camera, I can set the ISO to -1 and my shots are nearly all perfect. I've seen the test images and all I can say is I take a ton of pictures of my kids (who are three and five and the little farkers move fast) and I've yet to feel I lost a shot.

The phone feels great in my hands, the hands free mode when driving really works, and I really have no complaints about this. Got it on Motomaker during the Cyber Monday sale and I have yet to regret it. I'm more than happy with my purchase.
[X 2014 General] nogods:
My Moto X 2014 pure edition arrived today. The preowned galaxy S4 should be here tomorrow. I have 14 days to test both decide which will replace my skyrocket as my main phone. I will keep the skyrocket as a second phone for use while hiking biking and the like.

If the galaxy S4 is satisfactory then I will return Moto X because I prefer using extra batteries rather than a battery pack or curing around the rapid charger I ordered with the Moto X.

Another issue, although it might seem minor to some butd is important to me, is the ability to use a tethering strap on the phone. Although neither the Samsung skyrocket nor the Samsung S4 has a tethering slot like my blackberry bold had, I use a heated paperclip to create a slot in a corner of the battery cover and then attach the tethering strap to one of the inside screws. I assume I'll be able to do that with the S4 as well.

That will not be possible with the Moto X so I would have to purchase a case to which I could attach the tethering strap. That, however, will add to the overall size of the phone which I think is already too large.

I have never dropped, misplaced, or lost a phone that was attached to a gearkeeper with a tethering strap. Several years ago at a party a friend asked me to help him fish his phone out of the toilet. When I commented that if he had used a tethering strap and gearkeeper he wouldn't be in that situation, he said "I don't want to look like a dork". I took a picture of him attempting to retrieve his phone from the toilet with a toilet brush, then posted it with the caption "doesn't look like a dork does he?"

So unless I can figure out a convenient way to attach a tethering strap to the Moto X, it may be a dealbreaker for me.
[X 2014 General] robstunner:
I keep going back and forth with my HTC m8. I prefer the better battery, camera features and screen of the m8 on top of being a $200 cheaper, swappa purchase, vs the Moto x. I
[X 2014 General] nogods:
It kept rebooting randomly on its own. I spent 1.5 hours on the phone with tech support, going through three different levels, all of which just had me do the same procedure with the exact same results, (Andy on his back with a red triangle above his chest and "no command" under him).

I decided that motorola's tech support is no better than samsung's so I might as well go with a galaxy S4 to have the benefit of changeable batteries.
[X 2014 General] bee mcfly:
m8 or moto x

I'm really stuck right now between these two (verizon nexus 6 is a myth i'm convinced) which experience do you like better? I love the ones hardware(dual camera, boomsound, brushed aluminum) but stock,and the form factor of the moto x are great. Owning both which do you like,gravitate towards more? Is sense tolerable (i have a GPE rom in mind if it's a deal breaker.)
[X 2014 General] robstunner:
I preferred the m8, however after dealing with a third blacklisted device in 2 years I decided I'm going to stick with new phones only and grabbed a nexus 6. The m8 has stock gpe too so you only have the form factor on the moto side according to your preferences.
