[Nexus 6  General] spartanm99:
Even that would've been ok. Glad someone else isn't feeling the blue either! It might grow on you though - never know! :)

I had a white Nexus 5 - bad idea. Looked good and clean for a month, then it was covered with deep and light scratches, stains etc (from normal use - pocket-to-desk-to-table-to-pocket with the occasional placement in a bag). At least you got the blue as the white would probably look like a 7 year old brick after a month of use.
[Nexus 6  General] ericerk:
Yeah, It's not ideal for something you're about to drop that much money on.
[Nexus 6  General] ericerk:
That's the dream, eh?
[Nexus 6  General] Dr Faustus:
Seriously made me think of this when you said that:

It seriously looks like that colour when in normal light man..

Unless you are going to have your Nexus 6 out in a high brightness area (brighter than natural sunlight) You are NOT going to notice the blue at all unless you focus high brightness light on the trim. It just looks dark grey to the naked eye.
[Nexus 6  General] ericerk:
That trim pisses me off as well.
[Nexus 6  General] seanerixon:
Just to follow up on the "why is Google waiting to release the Sand color," didn't they do the same thing with the Red Nexus 5?
[Nexus 6  General] spartanm99:
haha, still better than the blue or white for me!

They did. And that was stupid if they wanted to sell the Nexus 5. More people would want a gold one (or even a grey one) over a red phone.
[Nexus 6  General] IRX120:
I just want a solid black phone. The white and blue are ugly colors. Devices just don't look good unless their black. (Whites good looking I just think it gets dirty fast.)
[Nexus 6  General] cb474:
Yeah, I just don't get this whole "midnight blue" thing. It's like it wanted to be black, but couldn't quite do it. If you're going to be blue, be blue, otherwise give people the black phone they want.

And I also wish they had kept the soft touch material on the black version. There are a lot of reports in reviews of the phone being slippery, accentuated by the fact that it's so large and hard to hold onto anyway. One reviewer commented that even though he was trying to be really careful, in the week he used the phone he'd almost dropped it many times. On top of that, the slicker back is widely reported to be a fingerprint magnet. Wow, that choice of material is turning to to be so great in so many ways.

All this is especially weird, given all the cool choices on the Moto X. I get that Motorola doesn't want to offer it's Moto Maker coolness on a Google device (although, why not if it gets them extra money?--I guess they hate money). But a couple options might have made sense. Maybe a white phone, a black phone, one leather option, and one wood option.

As it is, it's a choice between white (which I'm not into) and fugly--and maybe in a while there will be bling bling "sand" (talk about going out of your way to figure out how to make gold sound boring).
[Nexus 6  General] spartanm99:
Fair points. To be honest whoever decided 'sand' sounds better than 'gold' is retarded for a colour name.

So many simple things could've been fixed with this Nexus, but were not. Things from software (e.g. camera app taking slow motion video since the chipset supports it or RAW photos out of the box, etc.) to things like colour choices (blue, white and maybe 'sand' aka gold but no grey or black - two of the most popular colours). On top of all this the blue colour choice is apparently less logical IRL compared to the white based on the different materials it is made from. WTF? Who in the hell is making these decisions?

The entire Nexus department needs a serious wake up check because the overly high price does not match the phone it is attached to. Maybe hire a completely new team to release the next Google phone, whatever that will be called. We might get a phone with good colour choices and which has less negative drama surrounding it prior to its launch :)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidp799:
Okay so, I was excited for android Lollipop, but I'm pretty impatient. I decided that I would restore my phone back to stock kitkat to prepare for the upcoming release of Lollipop for our device, and I think i may have corrupted the bootloader. When i go to install Motoboot.img in the process of restoring to stock, I get an error code. The error code reads "<bootloader> Preflash Validation Failed." I've done a ton of searching and I really hope I can fix this. XD Its only 4 months old.... Also, the only rom i could get to install over sideload was carbonrom. It works fine except for forcecloses here and there, and networking is completely out of it. If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you in advanced!

[STOCK FIRMWARE] Moto G 2nd gen (UK, "XT1068") *proper* SIM free firmware !GENUINE!

I looked EVERYWHERE for a stock firmware for the UK, SIM free firmware for the Moto G 2nd generation... until last night, when some kind person on Motorola forums sent me this link:

http://www.filefactory.com/file/5uv51ahospp/RETGBALL_XT1068_4.4.4_KXB21.85-23_cid7_CFC.xml.zip

Filename: "RETGBALL_XT1068_4.4.4_KXB21.85-23_cid7_CFC.xml.zip"

MD5 sum: 81fc167157361e0620020b673beff9e4

Variant: XT1068, UK dual-SIM SIM free Moto G 2nd generation (RETGBALL = Retail GB, ALL)

Click the attached photo of my Moto G box - if the box matches yours (obviously IMEI etc have been deleted from the picture) then you have the right version.

Product barcode (8GB variant): 6947681519350 (Google it to verify - I have)

Model code: SM3926AE7B1

To flash, extract the linked ZIP, drop the (attached) "flashall.bat" batch file and "mfastboot.exe" (also attached) into the extracted folder, put your Moto G into "bootloader" mode, and then open the folder,

shift-right-click

and "Open command window here" (Windows) then run "flashall.bat" to reset to stock UK dual SIM XT1068 firmware.

Why u mean proper? I Flashed mine with dsdsall but at the end still showing retgb , i Wonder that i can still get ota. Anyone know?
[G 2014 General] glossywhite:
I mean proper as in proper; the real deal - what else would it mean?

If you flashed dsd and still had retgb after doing so, your flash didn't work properly.
[G 2014 General] plopingo:
what's the difference betwen GB and dsd ? only difference I see u r outdated..... I'm running the last 21.85.27 no issue at all it's "proper"

reteu
[G 2014 General] glossywhite:
The thread is appropriately and accurately entitled, since the firmware linked to is the proper UK firmware, as it came pre-installed on THE ENGLISH XT1068. Since I do not work for Motorola, I am unable to affect the fact that the firmware is a step or two older in the build cycle than the USA/other versions, but the firmware is appropriate and correct for UK customer and owners of the UK Model Moto G (2nd gen) XT1068, DUAL SIM, GB RETAIL.

There's only so many ways one can explain the word "correct" - the firmware is fully functional and fit for purpose. It is entirely the correct version, and the only one I know of for the UK handsets, thus far.

OEMs don't arbitrarily decide to generate a region-specific firmware version just for the fun of it; there are various reasons (beyond the scope of this post) as to why they do it, and I am sure there are VERY good reasons to do so. What are they? I've no idea - and yes, I am sure other firmware will work perfectly well, but this IS the correct, UK firmware as detailed at length, above.

Hope that clarifies things :)
[G 2014 General] plopingo:
Hum ok, like dutch have DE special firmware too

RETDEALL_XT1068_4.4.4_KXB21.85-23_cid7_CFC

XT1068 21.11.23.titan_retde.retdeall.en.DE

It's weird some country have dedicated firmware since it's the same model for all EU country XT1068
[G 2014 General] glossywhite:
It's obviously for some reason(s). I don't find it weird at all; it's regionalisation, and there must be some region-specific functionality which differs between locales of sale, else they wouldn't do it for the sake of it - that would be extremely cost ineffective and inefficient. :)
[G 2014 General] spetrie:
Flashed last night. Works a treat, still have UK version reported on my phone and everything seems to be working. Now I should be able to receive OTA again once I replace a few modded system files. (Xposed installed and modified core.jar) :good: I had been looking for this firmware for sometime. This time I will not remove system apps or integrate updated system apps now that I know OTA will fail if the app version has changed.

Will we be able to get the Lollipop one once fully released for our device? (No OTA yet for me in UK).

Not sure that I will upgrade immediately as I use Xposed and that seems to not be compatible with lollipop :(
[G 2014 General] ErixGamer:
I'm dutch and we don't have DE (Probably for Germany) we have the:

[G 2014 General] Android The Greek:
Why does it need to be .tar.gz?
[G 2014 General] Dragoondemon4:
.tar.gz

because negan 1911 programer of the motoflasher app say if i give him the firmwares of moto g 2 gen in that format he can update the motoflasher so it can suport moto g 2 gen. and i can fix my moto g xt1068 :angel:
[G 2014 General] Android The Greek:
Why is moto flasher needed, why not just do it yourself in fastboot with a zip?
[G 2014 General] reefuge:
a .tar.gz file is just a compression system like .zip -
[G 2014 General] Dragoondemon4:
bcause my phone is hard bricked it don't power on and when i conec to my pc it shows that this device is conected Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 and moto flasher works for this problem on moto g and x 1 gen but the programer need them for 2gen

I have a GS4 which just got the NG6 update. My phone is now a mess. Several weeks ago I took the update and then reverted back to the NC5 software, restored a nandroid and all was good. Then, VZW pushed the OTA again (without my permission). My question is if I go back to NC5 and then switch to Hyperdrive ROM, will VZW still be able to update my phone? I don't want to go through all the trouble to downgrade, re-root, and customize another ROM just to be prompted to update again.

Any advise would be welcome. Thanks so much!

Hi,

No, if you flash a custom rom, you will not get updates from your carrier. You only get updated if you're on a stock rom.

There are 2 different bootloaders for this device. Make sure you flash the latest version of TWRP as well 2.8.4.0. You either need 4.3 or 4.4 bootloader version depending on what you have installed. If one doesn't work try the other one.

Hello, I flashed the TWRP 3.0.2 hl3g (for the N750 i think) to my N7505 (should be hllte) but apparently it has worked.

TWRP started and I chose the readonly-mode and wanted to backup the data but the 4gb MicroSD-Card which I had inside was not enough and I switched off my mobile again.

After that i put a 8gb card into my phone and looked more closely into the guidance I had.

Then i realized my mistake but now I have the question which version of TRWP I should take.

Should i take 3.0.2 hl3g or 2.8.7 hllte? If I could flash 3.0.2 successfully and it could also start, still something bad can happen?

Or I'm lucky because N750 and N7505 are so similar that TWRP 3.0.2 works on booth?

With WM6 supporting 320 X 320, it'd be interesting if someone could port the rom and run it on a treo 680!
[Palm Treo 750] psimoons:
Palm upgrade

On TreoCentral I read about an "announcement" Palm made to have an upgrade available for the 750. See http://www.treocentral.com/content/Stories/1090-1.htm

However, what I was wondering, is our 750 physical limited to 240x240 or is it just the OS that has these limitations? In other words can we potentially do 320x320 on the 750?
[Palm Treo 750] trojanvision:
From what I hear and have been reading, the current Treo 750 is limited by the physical resolution more so than just the WM5 crippling the screen. I don't think that WM6 upgrade (if/when it will be released to current Treo 750 ownser) will "enable" 320 X 320 because of the physical screen, although I am dilsionally hoping that I am wrong! Wishful thinking.

It'd still be interesting to see if someone could "hack" a 680 to run the WM 6 operating system at 320 X 320
[Palm Treo 750] sincere8:
Treo 750's screen is phycally 240*240 lcd matrix, so it will never have 320*320 resolution.

Then, 680 will never run WinMobile6, so it's the vain hopes.
[Palm Treo 750] mitchello:
Yep, the 750v is only 240x240, no chance of 320x320.
[Palm Treo 750] qwikndrty:
Here's a thought; could I use a 680 700p etc. LCD on my 750 with WM6 installed ? Will the screen be a direct fit? Will Mobile 6 recognize it :rolleyes:

I would be willing to track down a good LCD from a 320x320 screen and install it into my 750 if someone could confirm it would bolt right in.
[Palm Treo 750] wuffi:
It will not work...
[Palm Treo 750] qwikndrty:
..can you tell me/us why it wouldn't work?
[Palm Treo 750] Ya Boi D:
Actually from what I understand, the WM6 update will enable 320*320 because the current screen size is actually a limitation of WM5. I know this is a Treo750 discussion but I assume you guys also have the same black border surrounding your screen as I have on my 700wx. The fact it will increase the screen size is actually one of the MAJOR advantages to upgrading because WM6 isnt that much of an upgrade to WM5 IMHO.
[Palm Treo 750] qwikndrty:
I've upgraded both of my Treo 750's and I don't get any more screen pixels then I did with WM5 (the black border is still there). From what I've read, the LCD on the 750 only has 240x240 pixels so you can't add what isn't there in the first place.

My original thought was, since the Treo 680 shares the same chassis as the Treo 750, that *maybe*, just maybe the LCD plugs are the same and since the LCD is 320x320, I would *assume* I would get all 320 pixels with the WM6 ...but I'm speculating. I would make the swap of the LCD if I knew it wouldn't make the smoke come out of my newly acquired Treo 750

I know it is generally accepted that a few of the 3rd party launchers have better or faster performance than touch wiz, but do they also offer better battery life?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] icexshinigami:
IMO anything is better than touchwiz for app management.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] fbauto1:
Not sure what you are referring to as "app management". Launchers are just.. well, launchers.

I have seen no improvement or worsening of battery usage between touchwiz and nova.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] matrix2004:
Nova Launcher is the best launcher on Earth. I have seen the light.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] muzzy996:
I think you'd end up seeing a lot of anecdotal comments rather than hard fact. I know for me personally I find myself adding more widgets on custom launchers than stock, thats one of the reasons I switch immediately when I buy a device. The more widgets you put on your screens the more potential there is for increased battery drain as the widgets may lead to increased wakelocks as their associated applications attempt to keep them updated while in standby.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] whoamanwtf:
A new launcher is not going to do anything good for the battery life, if you keep things minimal on the launcher like widgets and what not it will help some. Realistically though you likely don't spend all that much time on your launcher anyways, so the effect on battery should not really matter. That said I personally use Smart Launcher because it is sleek and quick and easy to navigate without much focus, black wallpapers and less light colored icons will help with the battery some but like I said you probably don't spend a whole lot of time staring at your launcher so it doesn't matter.

TL/DR: No.
