[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] th3lawmak3r76:
So I was luckily able to buy a Nex 6 from Motorola a few weeks ago. I did notice today though on the play store page for the Nex 6 you get benefits such as free Google play all access for 6 months. So does the one I bought from Motorola receive these things or not?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] st3wart:
I did the same I would like to know as well.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alaris:
No but one plus is that you can buy motocare insurance which is pretty cheap as far as insurance goes.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zer0_Cool:
I got mine from motorola today, I can confirm that you get 6 months play access free, as well as the free movie download (gravity) and a free e-book. I also plan on buying motocare, it's $139 up front for 2 years and allows 3 replacements for $39 a pop.

edit: this does not apply if you are already a subscriber or, I believe, have used the other free month trial.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alaris:
Oh I was already a subscriber so maybe that's why I didn't get it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lennykravitz2004:
Figured I would start here in my device thread before trying the SuperSU thread.

Anybody have issues with SuperSU since the last few updates ago?

SuperSU does not even open. Root-dependent apps do not open. Titanium sits there at the initial screen "asking for root rights" until I kill the app. AdAway does not open... just goes right to a black screen until I kill the app. AdAway seems to work though, as my web surfing does not have ads.

I've also tried manually going in and applying the latest update via (philz) recovery.

Would I be safe to roll back to an older version of SuperSU?

Mods... if you're going to gun the thread, please at least point me in the right direction as I did search, but did not find anything related to recent issues on the Note 2 for SuperSU.

TIA for help and suggestions.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ceabbott2:
Oh yeah its still sitting in the play store. I lost root the last couple updates ago. I had to re flash my rom and start over.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lennykravitz2004:
As part of my search, I did see Chainfire mention in his "fix" thread that some apps like wanam can cause issues. Of course, I have xsposed installed, so that could be the issue.

Do you (or did you) also have xsposed installed as well?

I have tried older versions of SU, uninstalling via philz then redownloading from Play - which now tells me the binaries are out of date and can't be done by SU, and I need to re-root.

Think I might try one of the other SuperUser apps "just to see how it works", or if it does.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DatDude123:
For me, I just reflashed the ROM I was running at the time and that resolved it. Of course seeing that the update was " fixed" I attempted it and lost root again. I then did the same as before, wiped and relashed. I didn't do clean installs either time. Just wiped caches and reflashed. That sucks if you have to re-root. I mean, it's easy and all but it shouldn't have to be done.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJ_Barcode:
Before attempting any drastic measures (i.e., full wipe and reinstallation of the ROM), try this. This trick usually works for me.

Open your Application Manager, and locate your SuperSU application. Turn it off (i.e., click the "Turn Off" button). It may prompt you that updates are about to be uninstalled; that's ok. Download "BETA-SuperSU-v2.25.zip" and verify the MD5. Reboot into recovery and flash this file. Reboot and re-enable the SuperSU application from the Application Manager (it will be easy to find this time - scroll all the way over to the right, under "Turned Off"). Open SuperSU and it should let you reinstall the binaries.

Recently I've inexplicably lost root a number of times, and the above method has fixed it for me every time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lennykravitz2004:
Thanks for the try. Did not work though.

Looks like I just need to re-flash the ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJ_Barcode:
My problem was odd. Before I discovered the aforementioned trick, I'd re-root with Chainfire or Kingo. I'd reboot, and my device would be rooted. But those two methods have an additional payload - they flash the stock recovery. So I'd ODIN the Philz Touch recovery back to the device, reboot, and root would be gone. Never figured out what was going on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkangels6sic6:
Yup. Issues with new version. Only last 2 or three updates.

They seemed to be perfectly fine with cm12 though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lennykravitz2004:
Thanks for all of the input.

After doing a full wipe, and then re-loading Classic Stock 4.4.2, life is good again! Back to running awesome for a few weeks now.

Having said that, I did want to follow-up and ask others what current version of SuperSU you are on. As of right now, I am still on v2.01 (which is what was packaged with the ROM) and have not updated yet. Only other versions of SuperSU I have zips downloaded for are: 2.25 from post above, 2.36, and 2.37.

Any suggestions or confirmations on which newer/more recent versions will not bork my root status? Or which versions to definitely stay away from trying to use?

Thanks, and I appreciate any help and suggestions!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
The actual issue is not superuser or the updates. The issue is 4.4.2 and the original way we (ROM devs) had to implement superuser.

There are two routes to take to keep from losing root. The easiest for most users is to turn off auto updates and not to update superuser (app or binaries). The second is more difficult for the average user. Do a complete removal of superuser and install the latest.

I suggest the first way for everyone. It is simple and fool proof.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lennykravitz2004:
As always, thanks for your response. Your recommendation is what I've been doing, just wanted to follow-up on this and see if there was anything else I needed to consider or change as well.

My main concern was to make sure I was not going to run into any "big" issues (especially security) by staying on current version. Thanks for explaining where the issue really lies on this too. I'm obviously not a dev, however I do want to understand what is exactly going on and responses like yours always provide that type of info. :good: Thank you.

And, FWIW, using "fool proof" to describe a process only makes me more curious (and no, not in that way) about your suggestion. :laugh:

Now I HAVE to find out more about that option... (only after some of the best BBQ in all of the land - Sugarfire BBQ in STL :p )

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] satadru:
I used the N5 wireless charger last night. It took about 30 seconds to find the sweet spot to get it to charge, but it charged just fine.

It's officially supported as per this:

To charge your phone or tablet, place the device on top the charger:
Nexus 4: One inch (25mm) below the center of the phone
Nexus 5 & Nexus 7 (2013): Center of the device
Nexus 6: 2.5 inches (64mm) from the bottom of the device

Honestly I'm really just sad that it doesn't do Quick Charge 2.0... but seeing as I only use the wireless charger over night, perhaps it isn't really an issue there.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marctronixx:
This has been discussed a few times in other charging threads.

I had one and promptly returned it. It's not worth the hassle and finding the sweet spot is just too much of a hassle. I personally do not recommend it. Of course Google wants to sell you their products so it makes sense they list it...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knitler:
I picked up a cheap round LG one from Amazon. I wish the pad was a LITTLE bigger, but its easily placed on the pad and starts charging as log as the top 1/3 of the device is over the edge.

Glad I didn't go with the Nexus Pad.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arvonn:
The 2012 n4 wireless dock is much easier to find the Sweet spot on the nexus 6 compared to the 2013 official nexus wireless charger. I have both, and the 2012 orb works better with the n6,.

If you want a qi charger for the n6, you are better to get a tylt vu or the itian a6 which is an obvious knockoff of the Tylt vu.

[X 2014 General] zjw18:
I wanted to start a semi-general discussion about battery life/issues/bugs on Lollipop. I'm using the VZW 2014 X, but I'm sure that the Pure Edition discussion will be similar (especially now that we're both on 22.21.11).

The two topics I'd like to discuss to start are:

1. What's draining your battery most (and why is it Google Play Services)? Solutions/bugs? For example, today I'm seeing what happens when I disable Location Reporting (and not History, for now).

2. Does the usage percentage reporting seem off to anyone else? The percentages are always very small (I'm guessing maybe they're supposed to add up to the total battery drain percentage), especially the Screen. When I use mine heavily, Screen will never take much more than 5-7%, if that.

All that aside I have been happy with battery life--it's at least 1.5 times better than my 2013 Moto X. I get down to 30% or so after a full day, can push 3.5-4 hours screen on time, and normally projects to last 20-24 hours with moderate usage.
[X 2014 General] Skillinator:
I've been using the 22.21.6 OTA on my Pure Edition for a little while, rooted with Greenify. Google Play Services is taking up the most battery, it seems. No Facebook, although I do have some other social networks (Twitter, Instagram). It lasts me a day although I don't have too much SOT on it. I think yesterday it went from 7:00 to 23:00 (16 hours) with an hour or two of SOT with 30% or so left. Not great but it suits my needs. That was the first day since I got it that I've actually tested a full day of usage, in previous days I had been either messing with stuff over USB (rooting and programming) or on a long road trip with my hockey team that pushed me to way heavier than normal usage so I was charging a lot. Can't really blame Moto for that, though, it was hours of SOT for sure.

Today I deleted Google Fit (I just wanted to see it, but I don't think I'll use it that much and I feel like it might have something to do with it) and am using a different locations policy by turning off reporting and switching from always-on battery saver to using high accuracy and only enabling when needed. It'll be an ongoing experiment to maximize the life but to me that's part of the fun!

I've heard good things about 22.21.11 but I'm disappointed that I'll have to wipe again. Hopefully now that I'm rooted I can use Titanium Backup properly, last time I had to wipe was when I unlocked my bootloader to root, and Helium (unbeknownst to me) didn't support restoring from copy/paste (copied Helium backups to my computer then back onto the device, but wouldn't recognize them for restore).
[X 2014 General] fingolfin14:
FYI, in case Titanium doesn't work for you when/if you upgrade, I was able to backup my apps using Helium and then use adb restore to restore the data after I'd installed them again on the phone. Here's the guide in case it's helpful:

http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/guide-how-to-restore-app-data-to-moto-x-t2604423

Downside is having to restore each app individually, but I never even had to root the phone so it was pretty simple.
[X 2014 General] TokedUp:
Hey at least u have root. Us VZW users are dying for some root in our lives.
[X 2014 General] raptir:
Does Helium not work to restore the app data on Lollipop?
[X 2014 General] fingolfin14:
In my case, I was downgrading from 5.0 to 4.4.4 since the build I was on was missing incoming calls. As far as I've heard, restoring to Moto devices is not supported at all by Helium, but it may be worth a try on Lollipop.
[X 2014 General] raptir:
From what I read it's only older devices. This thread, for example, says you just need the right drivers for the 2013 Moto X.

http://forums.androidcentral.com/moto-x-2013/333316-moto-x-helium-backup.html
[X 2014 General] fingolfin14:
Could be. I can confirm that Helium did not recognize any backups for me on KitKat and it looks like the user above had the same issue. I haven't yet tested on Lollipop.
[X 2014 General] Skillinator:
From what I heard the way I stored the backups was unsupported. I just copied them off my device and pasted them back later instead of storing on one of the cloud options or something. Maybe if I had it would be a different story. Now that I have root and Titanium I don't think I'm going to try again with Helium, though.

Updating on my trial today with Location reporting off: somehow, battery life ended up worse (need a large sample, I suppose). I'm on track for 2.5 hours screen on and 18 total hours on. Android OS had high reporting, just above Google Play Services.

That's just unfathomable to me. I saw your post before I made this one. It's not as if I need 7 hours screen on time, but if it's possible then I sure as hell want it. I have brightness fixed just above the lowest, NFC off, location on battery saving, Location reporting off... just huge drain from Google Play Services and Android OS. I bet if I used the phone straight after unplugging I could reach 5 hours screen on, but it's the general/standby drain that's bothering me. I don't know what specifically would contribute to drain by Google Play Services aside from location reporting.
[X 2014 General] qwerty12601:
What version of google play services are you on, and how are your location settings?

I'd honestly never need 7 hours either. I really just wanted to push it and see. Yesterday I plugged in with 38% left, was off the charger for 14 hours and had 4:15 SOT. And that's normal/slightly above normal usage for me. Its just nice to know I won't have to worry if I need to use it more.
[X 2014 General] zjw18:
The latest--6.5.87 I think. I'm on battery saving as well. Dialer, Play Services, Google Search, Moto, and Motorola Modem service all report low battery usage. I turned Location Reporting off two days ago and somehow battery life got worse!

Also, I have Facebook and Twitter installed, but neither report high usage. Twitter syncing is also off.
