[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guitar_Luppi:
Hey guys, I've recently flashed a stock KK 4.4.4 rom and kernel (previously i was using the Carbon Rom and Xperience Kernel) on my Moto G x1032, wiped all the things, all went fine. The only problem is that the boot logo shows the Xperience logo, even though the stock kernel is the one installed (checked via settings->about). How can I change to the factory kernel boot logo?

Manny thanks!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyguy126:
Disclaimer: DO this at your own risk!

Assuming your bootloader is unlocked...

If you have already flashed the stock kernel, and just want to change the boot logo, its really easy to do so. I actually made a video on this a little while back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyJ5OvA6p-E

Watch the vid if you want or just look in the video description. To get the stock logo download a firmware from this site: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=14

Extract the logo.bin found in the zip file and follow the instructions in the video. Skip the first part of the video where it explains how to create a logo.bin file. Just follow the fastboot commands..
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arwynj:
ive just unlocked the bootloader on my z1 (has broken screen so cant use it) its running on 4.4.2 (checked using usb mouse) how can i install CWM?

ive done this plenty of times on samsung phones but sony phones never....

cant seem to find a simple guide...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterofnocrack:
Just flash any custom kernel(the recovery is integrated into the kernel on Sony custom kernels) on your device and boot into the recovery like usual

Thats all there is to it.have fun!!!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arwynj:
I figured it out my self :P thanks for reply though!

like all others i too have a "battery saver" tasker profile, after updating my Nexus4 to lolipop, the default battery saver looks awesome with the top and botton red bars, but how do i trigger it from a tasker profile , any api or anything, has anyone found it out yet ?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Frank_Murphy:
I downloaded and installed the Lollipop update using adb sideload (I'm not rooted), and streaming video no longer works. No YouTube, no WatchESPN, no HBO Go, no Facebook videos, nothing. I tried doing a factory reset and that seemed to fix it, but the problem reappeared this morning. Anyone else experiencing this?

EDIT: Netflix and Google Play Movies & TV still work, so the problem only seems to affect certain apps.

EDIT 2: Disabling NuPlayer (which is experimental) in Developer Options appears to have fixed the problem for now, though I'll report back if it returns. It's odd that an experimental feature would be enabled by default.

EDIT 3: The problem is back. SMH.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] cr0wnest:
Its a known problem now:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...o-playback-issues-after-updating-to-lollipop/

I guess we can only wait for Google to fix this.

Hi !

Sometimes when I start my watch It starts to blink in dimmed mode. If I touch the screen it stops and I got standby screen but when it goes to dimmed mode it starts to blink again. It can do this for a while and then work great all day whiteout blinking. Some times it has started to blink after I take it of the charge dock. I tried to reset the watch and when I did that it worked for about a week but today it happened again. Did a new reset and removed some apps from it to see if that helps.

Anyone else with this problem ?
[LG G Watch R] ro_explorer:
Are you using an original watch-face or some 3rd party solution ?

If it's behaving identical while using one of the pre-made faces, you might have a faulty unit.
[LG G Watch R] fredriks:
I use 3 party watch face. But the strange thing is that my watch works over a week after reset. Maybe it's because I have been doing things with it to much, changing watch faces and so on. Now I have removed some watch face apps to see what happen. It has worked for a couple of days now.

[LG G Watch R] stephclauz:
Same for me

My watch R does the same and I'm using the original faces, not a 3rd party one. It started doing this random flashing after about 1 week of use. But I noticed the other night that the charger (the travel adapter that plugs into the wall) was making quite some noise... I'm suspecting it is defective, and that it could have induced the issues on the watch.

Anyhow, contacted LG and am sending the whole package for repair & check, will let you know if the issue disappears. Definitively not acceptable for me to have such a nice smartwatch but behaving like that!
[LG G Watch R] fredriks:
Ok, just did a third reset on mine and removed every apps and I also reset android wear app and started over with a fresh start. Now I'm not using any 3 party apps. Will see if it works, if it doesn't I will also make a warranty claim.

Interesting to see what they will do with your watch, please let me know how it works out for you

Skickat via Tapatalk
[LG G Watch R] stephclauz:
Sure

Will let you know what they did to it. I do hope it's a known issue within LG and that they have a fix! Apart from that, it's an awesome smartwatch and I already miss having all the notifications and voice commands on my wrist! Everybody says Android Wear isn't very good yet, but I find it quite powerful already...
[LG G Watch R] fredriks:
I agree, if I have to send it away I will miss it. I think this is an awesome watch and I really like have notifications on my arm.

[LG G Watch R] doki81:
omg...seem like i am not alone...

mine is more like steph case....it will flash most of the time when i took it out from charger when 100% charge....it only flash like 3/4 of the screen. the flash is like max brightness.

initially i thought it only happen when i didnt use the adapter come in the package. but when i now use the original adapter, it still happen.

nothing can be done to stop the flashing until i power off the the watch :( this is depressing. i bought my watch direct from korea. now if warranty purpose, i will need to return it back to seller in korea.
[LG G Watch R] stephclauz:
Yeah... seems like a common issue if you ask me, I really hope LG knows how to fix this! In my case it was the same: only the top half of the screen was flashing. The other day, even after 2 reboots it kept doing it, quite annoying. I really thought initially that it was related to the travel charger making this frizzle noise, but seeing both your similar experiences, it is probably not related.

Can't you claim the warranty in Singapore? Before you return yours, let's wait and see if they manage to fix mine! :fingers-crossed:
[LG G Watch R] fredriks:
This morning when I took it from the charging it started to flash, continued to do so even after a restart but then I just left it flashing and after a while it had stopped and now it have worked all day so far. Will probably appear tomorrow again. Will do a warranty claim on mine now.

[LG G Watch R] ro_explorer:
Where did you bought yours? (I see your nickname and signature so I suppose you are in sweden :) ) ... Mine is from net-on-net. I have no probems with mine, yet, but, just in case things will start to go wrong, I need to be prepared :P.
[LG G Watch R] mitchellvii:
As with any new release, looks like there are some problem units in the wild. I returned my first unit which had putty gray white markings on the bezel, flaky bluetooth and unreliable accelerometer and got a new unit with bright white markings, solid bluetooth and reliable accelerometer. Just like my Surface Pro 3. Took 3 units before I got one without bugs.
[LG G Watch R] fredriks:
Yes, I'm from Sweden :) Hello fellow countryman :). I bought mine on netonnet to. Today I had a email conversation with there customer support and they will send me a return box now so I can send it to them. Hopefully they just switch it for a new one but they don't have any in store right now.
[LG G Watch R] fredriks:
Yes, **** happens. Some time you just have to get a broken device.
[LG G Watch R] ro_explorer:
Damn early adopters ... they are emptying the stocks :cowboy:

Lycka till!
[LG G Watch R] fredriks:
Tack !

I will update this thread when this matter is closed
[LG G Watch R] doki81:
yes, please let use know if this is consider defective....or they is a fix for it....gotta start preparing it for rma then :(
[LG G Watch R] jazeng:
lucky i foudn this page - thougth i was the onyl one with this problem where after i pull it off the charger it will start flickering until i do a few resets. really frustrating.

please do keep me updated if you guys hear back from LG :) - i have sent them an email of my own and will do the same.

thanks.
[LG G Watch R] doki81:
yup..mine always happen after 100% charged and then undock it from docking.

then if you touch the screen or touch the button then it will flicker.

but there is once ...the flicker just happen out of no where...fortunately i just step out from cinema hall...else it will be super embarrassment..
[LG G Watch R] fredriks:
Here is a short video of my symptom, this is right after I toke it of the charger

https://www.dropbox.com/s/msltd8uocgwlxxi/MOV_0004.mp4?dl=0

This is not the worst scenario, when it is at its worst you can't see anything, it just flickers
[LG G Watch R] 2k4ever:
I'v noticed sporadic flickering similar to the video above when using WatchMaker set to 30FPS

everything works fine if i keep the FPS limited to 1 (AW standard)

this could explain flickering with custom watchfaces as well as the stock LG ones which use a smooth seconds hand as well

has anyone tried to switch to a stock AW face (e.g. Simple) when the error occures?
[LG G Watch R] doki81:
It happen even on the stock watch face :(
[LG G Watch R] stephclauz:
Received my repaired watch yesterday. One thing at least can be said about LG's post-sales support is that they are quick! 3 days to pick it up, repair and send it back.

Same watch, and for the moment it hasn't flashed. But when I received it brand new 2 weeks ago, it took 1 week to start doing weird things, so it's too early to say if they have fixed it or not, will keep you posted.

On the paper supposed to describe what issue they diagnosed, and what sort of repair they did, I can only see internal codes like F05, MW02, so I have no clue what they did!

Seems most of us have the problem after charging it, so could it be related to a battery defect or to the charging cradle itself?
[LG G Watch R] doki81:
Maybe you can help us ask what they repair on your unit?
[LG G Watch R] fredriks:
The last thing I did was to try my watch completely stock. Uninstalled every android wear apps I hade and it only took one day for the flickering to come back.
[LG G Watch R] activ8me:
Exactly the same problem here

I get the flickering screen too exactly as described when I take it out of the charging unit.

I need to reset the watch. Then it works again. Very annoying. Should I get a replacement or just wait for the next firmware update?

Armin
[LG G Watch R] geovass:
I have claimed my warranty to LG (UK) and they are taking it back for repair;
[LG G Watch R] activ8me:
Makes sense

I might do that to, either sooner or later. I was just wondering if it was a Firmware issue or not. That is goes away after a reset - at least in my case - seems to point more to a firmware than a hardware issue. But I might be wrong...

These issues remind me of the fact that we are using a kind of late beta and possibly not a really finished product...
[LG G Watch R] fredriks:
More and more people reporting this issue. Wonder what LG thinks about it and what they are repairing on this defected watches. Is it a hardware problem or just software ?
[LG G Watch R] activ8me:
LG should inform better

That is the same thing I wonder too. If it is the software then sending it in and repairing it does not make too much sense....

LG has made a nice watch, but now they need to follow up on this device and not just replace but also be open and frank about the issues they are having. The LG support site does really not make issues clearer, it is extremely limited.

A good reputation in a new area - SmartWatches - is lost quickly to the next competitor.
[LG G Watch R] stephclauz:
After repair, still defective...

Well, seems that having the watch repaired doesn't change much. It only took 3 days before it did it again! It flashed only a couple of times when I took it off the charging dock this morning, but it was upsetting likewise.

So I honestly believe LG has no clue of what the problem is, and my guess is that they didn't even bother opening my watch to repair it. They also did no SW/FW update according to the piece of paper that came with it. Seems like we're going to have to live with this intermittent blinking for a while. Given its price, it ought to be bug-free!

If anyone else has had his repaired and has a better experience, please share! I'm going to wait a bit before sending it back again, there's no point right now
[LG G Watch R] activ8me:
Your feedback is much appreciated!

Based on the circumstances of the fault, I had the feeling that hardware replacement would not change much. I must say, the only time I had this fault is after taking it of the cradle when 100% charged - and only after a few days of usage.

Not sure what others experience exactly is, if it happens exclusively after charging or also in other circumstances. I hope LG actually records the exact error and reports this back to their developers and does not just exchange the hardware. That approach would not help much even in the long term ...
[LG G Watch R] jazeng:
Thanks for posting your experience.

I also follow another forum (whirlpool australia) but nobody there seems to have issues - could it be a bad batch? or are we all using particular apps?

I use aviator/look behind/wear mini launcher.
[LG G Watch R] activ8me:
Thanks for the update. Could it be apps?

That is a good point concerning apps. I also use minilauncher. Could that be the issue? Minilauncher also seems to be quite heavy on the OS because it produces quite some lagging when it launches first...

Maybe the best way to see what this is about would be to really uninstall all apps on the mobile phone and keep the watch without ANY apps a few days, because of course after the reset it will re-sync the apps and if an app is the issue, then what can LG achieve to solve the issue?

It's just that I did start my IT career in support - 26 years ago ;) - and at the time the senior people where actually picking up the phone and getting issues solved. Nowadays it is just about cost and getting extremely junior staff on the front phone line ... and replacing stuff is easy (even if based on this thread LG does it quite efficiently - but sorting out the base issue demands courage and connections to the developers.

But as you said, it is a good point, maybe the apps are the problem.

Hope that we can keep posting updates. I hate it when people solve their issue then never post again, that is why I appreciated your post and hope you will also post again when your issue is gone.

I got this Smartwatch because it is really beautiful and the first one I think is well designed.

I got it as a gadget, but I got it also because I believe Smartwatches have an interesting future. I just read an article mentioning that Google Glass is kind of dead - and even the Google managers don't wear it anymore - in Silicon Valley but that all believe that the Smartwatch is the next big thing.

So in order to be ready to develop on SmartWatches I got this LG thing - but of course also because I am personally a gadget freak - possibly ;)
[LG G Watch R] stephclauz:
No apps on mine

I agree, it looks good, the circular display is lovely (well, when it doesn't flash :p). And, having worn it for about 2 weeks, I share your opinion that it will become a big thing in the future, because it is so useful to have quick notifications on the wrist, not intrusive like the Google Glass. I love the way you can just say "wake me up in 20 minutes" and then the watch will vibrate gently to wake you up! Very efficient

Anyway, back to our problem: personally I don't have ANY app installed on it… initially I did install the mini wear launcher but quickly took it off and even erased it from the phone. So, I don't use any app, and use the original LG watch faces.

My idea is that it is related to the power supply, or battery, because the issue seems to appear for most of us after charging… maybe somehow it overcharges and causes the screen to flash?

That's for my 2 cents :o
[LG G Watch R] activ8me:
True.

I agree with you, also my original thinking was that it is an overcharging issue. In this case, LG should really act quickly as this would be a very hardware and very LG issue. One that could be simple to solve, before it creates any bad publicity. Surprised the peoble mentionned in Australia do not have this issue, that is weird.

Anyway, just replacing the item speedily by LG is nice, but does not solve the issue. They should look at it with some seriousness. Funny, but often companies fail exactly here. They deliver a good product, but then they put these youngsters on support lines that are afraid of relaying issues back to senior support. So I believe we can discuss ages on this board, but as long as a real LG developer does not spend some time on QA for this item, the issue wont get solved. My 2 cents ;)
[LG G Watch R] fredriks:
As I said earlier, I uninstalled all wear apps in my phone and did a reset of my watch and still got this issue. I got it mostly everytime I start my watch. Not only after charging. So in my case it feels like it something wrong with startup of the watch

Skickat via Tapatalk
[LG G Watch R] activ8me:
Ok.

Interesting. As I do not really turn of my watch I do not need to start it. Maybe that is the reason I only have it after charging. Would be nice if some users that have the issue would participate in this discussion....

---------- Post added at 12:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:34 AM ----------

I do have this issue only related to "overcharging", did today charge it from 10% to 90% and no issue.
[LG G Watch R] stephclauz:
That's an interesting point. I will try to pick the watch up from the charging base before it reaches 100% and see if it helps. Maybe that's the key: not leave it all night long, and take it off before it reaches 100%... :eek:
[LG G Watch R] activ8me:
Cool

It worked for me today again. I definitely think it is an overcharging issue. Well, actually I think it is quite surprising that the LG people do not have the charging management in place correctly. This makes you wonder how mature SmartWatches are. But if our issues go away, at least we have peace of mind ;)
[LG G Watch R] ro_explorer:
I do not reset/turn off/reboot my watch. I always place the watch in the cradle at night, when I go to sleep (watch and phone, both receive charging overnight, no matter what's the status of the battery - I like to start the day "fully charged"). No problem related to burn-in or flickering ... so far at least.

I'm, using mini launcher as well ... also watch maker and about 4 other watch faces.
[LG G Watch R] activ8me:
Thanks for your input.

It happened to me after leaving it charging for too long - well, actually there should not be such thing as too long, it should just stop charging - but today, when I just left it to go to 90% charge, it did not happen. I'll keep an eye on the issue.
[LG G Watch R] stephclauz:
I've been following your advice for a couple of days now - taking the watch off the cradle before it reaches 100% - and no flashing screen so far. So it looks like a good workaround.

Still, I wonder if we should "live" like this, or send them back for repair. If it's a HW batch issue, they should end up figuring out how to fix it. On the other hand, if it's SW or FW related, then we just need to wait until they bring out an update…?
[LG G Watch R] ro_explorer:
If the work-around is not charging the battery to 100%, then I'm 99% convinced it is fixable by software. On rooted android devices one can limit the charge level of the battery (therefore, the charging circuit will turn off) so I do not see why it is not doable on the android watches as well.
[LG G Watch R] HowIChrgeLazer:
Mine just started doing this as well

[YOUTUBE]H99XDKmSAtA[/YOUTUBE]

This video was taken after a factory reset. I took it off the charger today, was so bad that I had to hold the button down to even get the screen to show. Even then it was strobing a lot. A factory reset calmed it down a little bit, but it's still doing it while dimmed. Only had it for about 10 days, so I'm going to take it back to an AT&T store. I really like the watch, but if this is an issue for other people as well, I may ask for a refund and not an exchange. Just wait it out until they improve it a bit more.
[LG G Watch R] fredriks:
Same symptoms as mine but mine often flimmers on the upper half of the screen but it has done as yours to. Sometime so bad you just don't see anything on it's display.
[LG G Watch R] jazeng:
I'd agree but then it would be odd that other watches running same firmware are fine ( as not everyone seems to be getting this issue). I intend to send mine back over the weekend and let the distributor examine it - though I have heard this could take up to two weeks.
[LG G Watch R] fredriks:
I think so too, if it was a software issue with charging even more user would have this problem. I'm still waiting for an answer from my retailer, the clock was delivered too them yesterday morning.

[LG G Watch R] Ziofreddy:
Hallo everyone in this "hot topic"... I've got the same iussue after using this watch for 14 days (and I think recharged 10 times). The upper half of the screen begin flickering and this morning was like a strobo light (white light flashing). I did press the button for 5 seconds and turned off the unit but after a new power-on it continue blinking in the upper half. I did write to LG costumers service here in Italy and now i'm waiting for some news. I don't think to give the unit back to service because I think that in LG do not know what is the problem and why there are so many units having this problem (could be a transistor or condenser that reach high temperature when charging in the night) and I don't want a watch "repaired" but well working as new! So I wait for some news from this forum and if I have some news I'll write here. Thank you. :good:
[LG G Watch R] fredriks:
I think it would benefit the cause if as many as possible sent there watch to LG. With so many watches they must find the root cause of this problem fast. There seem too be a time bug in this watch, mine started after a couple of weeks too, it was fine when I started too use it.

Skickat via Tapatalk
[LG G Watch R] ro_explorer:
It looks like a serious hardware issue (still, I continue to think that a correctly tuned driver/kernel might fix it).

Now, every morning, I'm holding my breath when I'm taking my watch from the charging cradle :). So far no flickering.
[LG G Watch R] doki81:
this issue seem to be only affected certain batch..apparent there are some unit which are mark as revision 2...which might not have such issue. i am on another forum and seem like no one have this except mine which i bought direct from korea.
[LG G Watch R] stephclauz:
No luck

Well, the workaround doesn't really work in fact :(

I just took it off the cradle at 85% or so, and it flashed... After a reboot it is okay though. I'm sending it to repair one more time (they were very fast the first time, 3 days is not much), they promise that if they can't do anything, they would change it for a new one... provided new ones are not affected by the problem!

So, wait and see
[LG G Watch R] HowIChrgeLazer:
I've returned mine to AT&T. Luckily it was in the first 14 days so I got a full refund. I had it powered off, brought it into the store and powered it on... It instantly entered "rave mode." Super fast flashing white screen.

I opted to avoid an exchange right now. Probably going to wait for their next model. As useful as it was to me, it's not worth the hassle. Maybe they'll get wireless charging in their next version. :D
