I have not broken a phone since my iPhone 4 many years ago...an then it was just a small hairline crack. This morning my phone fell of the couch from about a little more than a foot high and it completely shattered. I have dropped my HTC M8 so many times in this way and not even a scratch or dent. I was shocked. Oh, well, guess I'm glad I kept my M8...back to it until I get get a replacement or get it fixed...only had this moto X pure edition for 5 days! Just hope it I can not break it more than 3 times (motocares limit) until March when new phones come out.
[X 2014 General] shamelin73:
Ouch that must have hurt. I am too without a case. I like the phone without better. I have the Motocare as well.
[X 2014 General] funky_snowman:
The glass is a pretty shape, but it definitely gives me durability concerns. I just got mine, and I don't think I'll be able to use this phone without at least a slim tpu case.
[X 2014 General] bitwiser:
I have never had a case...just can't take the extra bulk and love the way the Moto feels (leather back) without one. Guess I'll just have to pay the price a few times or max 3 :P
[X 2014 General] crawlgsx:
Iv'e never broken a phone,never used a case, never purchased insurance. Don't intend on starting now ;)

Sorry for your loss.
[X 2014 General] bitwiser:
lol, I did not intend on breaking or dropping it either. I've never put insurance on it either...did not on this one...had it only 5 days...no Motocare. Talked to an agent, he said it has not been 30 days...purchase motocare then make a claim. a little cheaper than the repair fee and i'll be able to use it again if needed. So that is what I did.
[X 2014 General] dobbs3x:
Don't you also have to pay a 50 dollar deductible with motocare?
[X 2014 General] Restola:
I think it's $35
[X 2014 General] mercado79:
Screenshot for you guys. You have me considering it, though I'm normally very much against paying for stuff like this. Then again, the price really isn't bad... Decisions, decisions.
[X 2014 General] Chekp38:
I bought Motocare for my 2013 Moto X and haven't used it but then I use a case with that one. I didn't get it yet for this one.

I haven't seen a case I really like for the new one (it's in Hong Kong right now) but I keep thinking about what happens if I drop it. Maybe I will go back and get Motocare.
[X 2014 General] dobbs3x:
I dropped my first gen x from about 2 and half feet this summer and shattered my screen. It was on cement. I can only imagine the bigger x is even more fragile. Non the less what a great phone I'm on my third x now and have tried others and keep coming back.
[X 2014 General] LouieO:
Yep I just did the same thing earlier. Got my phone on Monday and just a small 2' fall flat on the screen did the job. My phone cracked at the top left and bottom right. I have cracks across my 5.2" screen now. I'm getting it replaced with MotoCare. I will also be buying a screen protector. I've not broken a screen on any of my phones ever.
[X 2014 General] will54880:
"Gorilla Glass" lol
[X 2014 General] gotzaDroid:
I got the moto care too. The rounded edges of the glass are too much like the nexus 4 and my wife cracked her fair share of nexus 4's, so I figured better be safe than sorry.
[X 2014 General] allweknowisa:
I'm sorry for your moto x man, the first day I bought mine I bought a cheap tpu case and now i'm planning to get the unicorn beetle one, that case seems the most protective one for the moto x.
[X 2014 General] patseei:
Which credit card did you use? There are some credit card that has 90 days protection. Call and claim if you have one of those. Good luck and sorry about that.
[X 2014 General] ssick92:
Same thing happened to me OP. The rounded edges of this screen really make it susceptible to drops and cracking. This phone is really slippery when in my pocket and it literally just slipped out while I was sitting down and cracked. Filed a MotoCare claim and got a replacement 4 days later.
[X 2014 General] l_stevens:
The only thing that has me "pausing" on Motocare is the following:

1)I know it extends the "regular" warranty to 2 years, but I think it's unlikely that something will go wrong with the "insides" of the phone in that time.

2) The cost of Motocare+ 1 Deductible is about the same a s 1 screen replacement. So, unless you're going to break the screen more than once, it really won't pay off.

Thoughts?
[X 2014 General] Kasracer:
I dropped my 2nd gen moto x at a retail store the other day without a case. Fell from about 4 foot and landed right on the glasses. Somehow it didn't shatter or even have a scratch on it. I try to always wear a case but kinda rushed out of the house without one this time (I rarely use a case in my house).

Probably depends on the angle it drops for anyone with durability concerns.
[X 2014 General] cam30era:
FWIW: I'm in the same mindset, for now, at least.
[X 2014 General] jonnythan:
I know Moto has a screen repair service. Anyone know how much they charge for a screen replacement?
[X 2014 General] l_stevens:
It's about the same as MotoCare+1 Deductable
[X 2014 General] Cyber-Anna:
One question RE: Motocare. Do they ALWAYS cross ship you another phone when you have a claim, or do you have to send it to them and wait for repair? This would make a big difference on the value of Motocare.
[X 2014 General] axtn95:
They send you one and you send yours back.
[X 2014 General] Gzan23:
Do they send you the exact same phone? Colors, etc...
[X 2014 General] civicdrivr:
They send you a link to build the phone whichever way you want.
[X 2014 General] Gzan23:
Even better!
[X 2014 General] nogods:
I agree as to the economics....plus if you read the terms of coverage you are at the mercy of Motorola as to interpretation. It says that it does not apply to damage caused by "negligence". It only applies to damage caused by an "accident." Have fun trying to win that argument if they determine the damage was caused by your negligence.

Now, as a practical matter, as long as they are not overwhelmed with claims, they probably won't invoke the difference to deny a claim.

But it doesn't make sense to me to pay $125 to insure a $400 item. If you paid the same percentage to insure your house against fire, the premium would be 45,000 on a 150,000 home.
[X 2014 General] Dodolom:
Does Moto Care cover cracked screens? My understanding from the T&C is that they do NOT cover it.
[X 2014 General] Cyber-Anna:
It DOES! Many have done it.
[X 2014 General] rob342:
i've never broken a screen before, in fact i usually replace screens for clumsy friends. i have about 15 iphone screens and a few samsungs under my belt. unfortunately, these displays are far too expensive to to repair myself.

when i say i have never broken a screen before, i mean before december 19th. on december 19th i dropped my phone on my kitchens tile floor. it landed straight on it's side. the aluminum ring dented(lightly) and the LCD shattered, leaving the outer glass perfectly intact. the LCD bled out and by morning, the screen was completely black. i literally broke the LCD without breaking or even landing on the outer glass.

i received a replacement phone for $125 from motorola on christmas eve, and somehow i managed to break the new one on christmas day around 5pm. I was getting out of my car and my tightly gripped phone clipped my cars door lock and was ejected from my hand, glass first, onto an asphalt driveway.

so as of right now i'm $250 into replacements and waiting for $1000 to be refunded via two $500 deposits. i also purchased a hula bumper, but i can't imagine i'll be leaving it on there for long. i don't want a big clunky case in my pocket. i dont even carry a wallet due to the bulk. just a wad of cash with my license in the middle.

motocare is definitely something I will be looking into. i love this phone.
[X 2014 General] Infinite Jest:
It sounds to me that you, my friend, need to invest in a fanny pack or comparable man-purse. :D
[X 2014 General] KidCuda:
I just had to use my moto care, it fell the day after Christmas in a parking lot because it's just so darn slippery. I got a leather back, and what stinks is that you have to pay another $25 if you want to keep leather. I really don't like cases either, but I bought the Incipio dual case for my wife and it's tempting.
[X 2014 General] schuylerb:
I too suffered the same fate. Ironically, I was in line outside an apple store to get a replacement case for my work iphone5s. BTW if you bought it direct from Motorola, you can still add their first party replacement insurance for $80ish within 30 days of purchase. Thankfully I too had only owned my phone for a weekish so I bought the plan and have a new X on its way to me soon. :)
[X 2014 General] schuylerb:
I complained to customer service about this and they said they'd refund the $25 once I return my old phone. The only cost is $39+tax.
[X 2014 General] KidCuda:
Good idea! I just got my replacement today, maybe I'll give them a call later.
[X 2014 General] jpen:
I was just freaking out because I dropped the phone and got a little centimeter scuff on the bottom metal....guess I shouldn't be that upset. However...does anyone know a good touch up pen that would work to cover it up?
[X 2014 General] schuylerb:
If it bothers you terribly, you might consider a super fine grit sandpaper. But honestly, I'd just leave it be in fear of making it worse.
[X 2014 General] mercado79:
Dropped mine while getting out of the car. The metal band is surprisingly soft! Two dents on one side (top and bottom corners). Even worse, the metal broke a bit on the bottom dent so it's rough to the touch. Definitely feel it while holding the phone in my left hand. Maybe a bumper is in order after all.

[X 2014 General] maxelence:
I got a free replacement without Moto Care

Maybe this is worth a try for some of you:

So I ordered my Moto X 2nd Gen right after it came out here in Germany (9/24/14) via the German Moto Maker site and got it shipped to me from the US within a week or so.

Approx. three weeks ago I completely shattered the glas of the phone by dropping it from hip height on the tiles in my bathroom. All functionality stayed intact though. So I had a chat on the Moto Maker site with one of the people there and just told them that the glas was broken and when I had purchased it. She told me they'd get back to me via email.

So a day later I got an email with a retoure label to send it back to the German Motorola Headquarters (or so). But, because I didn't really know what was supposed to happen (I thought I had to pay for a repair) I called them and talked to a guy who said they would send me a code for the Moto Maker as soon as they received my old phone and I could design a new one at no charge.

And that is exactly what happened. Received the code the day after I shipped my broken phone and got a new phone a week after I designed it. No costs whatsoever. They didn't even want to know how it broke or anything. Very pleased. Still getting a case this time ;)

I don't know whether this is exclusive to Germany, I didn't really want to ask about it since I thought they maybe just forgot to charge me. But I can say that this is not a standard service here. Wasn't advertised and isn't mentioned anywhere as far as I know.
[X 2014 General] access101:
I've never broken a phone. I've never bought insurance. Dropped mine Christmas day and shattered the display. I love the moto x so I purchased another with moto care this time. Lol
[X 2014 General] caanda45:
I just sold my Moto X 2014, for very similar reasons...I had the original Moto X loved it until I dropped it and it shattered the screen. Everything still worked, but had issues seeing the screen...lol. And Yes I did have it in a gel case!

I think it is a great phone with a very poor design. I have had tons of other phones and dropped them many time and never had a issue. Check and see if Moto will cover these incidents... cause the 1 st edition had a number covered under warranty which leads me to believe it is a design flaw which Moto covered in the US as it is quite a litigious society. In Canada they basically told me tough luck. (we hardly sue anyone)

Loved the phone, just hate dealing with Motorola.
[X 2014 General] bitwiser:
If you talk to an agent after you order it, just give them your order ID and they will credit you the $25. They did for me.
[X 2014 General] HeCareth:
Same thing happened to me. Dropped my device and bam, shattered the screen. Replaced it with Moto Care. The nice thing I did get to change was inscribe "Pure Edition" on the back instead of my name, so I can actually sell it when I am done.
[X 2014 General] Raistlin1:
Does anyone know when the 30 days starts if you get a replacement phone? Is it from the day your warranty starts on the original phone or the replacement phone?

If I want to get the insurance I have three days if I go by the first phones warranty start date, but longer if I can use the second phones warranty start date.
[X 2014 General] mercado79:
Clock resets. You'll see the option to purchase Moto Care on the new/replacement phone with new dates.

Unlocked phone by following steps on HTC site. Phone got unlocked without any issues now upon reboot phone is stuck on htc one boot screen What are my options do I have to flash another rom ??

Using HTC RUU to repair the phone and I am getting ERROR [130]: MODEL ID ERROR ERROR [131]: . Any ideas what does this error means
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Hold vol down as it goes through the next loop, and it will put you in bootloader. From there, you can go to fastboot mode and flash custom recovery. Then adb sideload, adb push a ROM, or load a ROM to the removable SD if you have a card reader you can connect to your computer. Then boot custom recovery and flash the ROM.

It means you are trying to run the RUU for another carrier version. What version do you have (this section is for AT&T) and what RUU are you trying to run?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] sguy156:
How can I flash another recovery when the PC doesn't see it as phone. Tried two different cables . Once I get the PC to see the phone it should be ok . See the screen when the phone boots up.

Any other suggestions on getting the PC see the phone. I installed HTC sync also that didn't helped also ..

Try the universal drivers from the link below.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] sguy156:
I will try universal drivers and see what happens. What commands

I need to try on the phone if these drivers work ??
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
The PC can see the phone, otherwise you wouldn't get the Model ID error message you indicated in the first post.

So no response if you type the following in command prompt?: fastboot devices

Fastboot and/or adb connectivity issues are rather common.

Another trick you can try, is to uninstall all HTC software (Sync and drivers) from your PC. Then connect the phone. DO NOT accept any prompts to automatically install drivers or Sync. Go to Device Manager, find the device, and pick the option to

manually

select the drivers, and pick the generic Android MTP device drivers.

Also try different USB ports. IN particular, if the ports are USB 3.0, that is known to cause issues (you may be able to disable the 3.0 drivers).

And if your PC is Win8.1, that is also known to be problematic.

---------- Post added at 09:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 AM ----------

fastboot erase cache

fastboot flash recovery filename.img

(where filename.img above is replaced with the actual name of the desired recovery file)
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] sguy156:
Yes trying fastboot doesn't show the phone. Is this something HTC can fix under warranty :)
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Fastboot and adb connectivity issues are almost always a problem on the PC's side (ports, Win version, drivers, USB 3.0). Warranty replacement isn't going to help you.

I've given you a few suggestions on addressing the connectivity issues. You haven't indicated whether you have tried them yet, or not.

I'm not trying to be rude but now that you have fastboot figured out I suggest you put the phone down in another room and start reading on what procedures to take next.

You learn the hard way by not looking in the "General section" where all the information is posted.

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] ShinakoX2:
I bought a Tab Pro 8.4 and decided to install Cyanogenmod 11 on it (currently on M12).

When I check my Battery usage under Settings after leaving it alone for several hours, "Android OS" is shown to be using over 60%. I tried using the Wakelock Detector app, and that didn't show any rogue apps. The "total wake time" in WD also closely matches the "keep awake" time for Android OS in Settings>Battery. There's even been a few times that my device didn't go into deep sleep at all.

Restarting the device didn't help as the problem would come back after an hour. I've tried several fixes including turning off auto-sync, using Greenify to freeze apps, and wiping my external SD card. None of them worked, but now I think I've found the source of the problem.

If I turn off wi-fi, "Android OS" no longer shows up at the top of my Battery page. Turn wi-fi back on and the problem comes back. Turning sync off doesn't change anything, so it seems like the issue is with the wi-fi itself and not with syncing apps. I even went into advanced Wi-Fi settings and changed it to 'turn off wi-fi during sleep' and still had the battery drain (though not as much - around 30% but still more than anything else). Changing the "Wi-fi Optimization" setting doesn't do anything either. I do notice sometimes when using my tablet that I don't have as many bars (on the wi-fi symbol in the status bar) as I do on my phone.

Does anyone have experience with this wi-fi issue? My GS3 doesn't do this. I assume that the problem is that my tablet device has a bad wi-fi connection and is always scanning or something, but I have no idea where to go from here.

EDIT: I might try downgrading to a previous milestone of CM11. I was reading in another thread how some other people were having wifi issues on M12 as well. My GS3 has been stuck on M10 because later updates broke stuff, so I'll try M10 on my tablet.

Hello everybody, I recently bought a LG Volt and it came with Version 4 on it. Well I noticed towelroot didn't work on V4 so I rolled back to Version 3 and rooted. (I also used an app called "Disable Service" from the PlayStore to get rid of that annoying notification to update to V4. You go to Google Services Framework and uncheck "SystemUpdateService". I also went into Google Play Services and unchecked "SystemUpdateService". I haven't had any more pestering notifications to update since, so thumbs up. :good: ) So, which would be better, stay on a rooted V3 or try and flash the custom recovery, then flash the Modded Rooted V4?
