[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ellover009:
Hello guys. I am looking to get an VZ 2014 moto x but I have some concerns.

I been reading reviews and some mention the phone has miserable battery life but other reviews don't talk about battery being bad on CDMA ver on lolipop. So how is the battery life holding up for you guys?

I was also a little stuck on how which back to get. I was going to go with Bamboo but thought maybe I am more of a leather man if it holds up well.

Can you guys tell me how the leather is holding up on your phones?

I think I might go Navy but it says delays on build page and I don't know how long it would be delayed. Does anyone have a picture with a good representation of their leather back on the phone they can share? The moto builder is a poor representation of the final look. I am also wondering if with leather if the phone will still fit into some sort of slider belt clip case.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaydubbs:
I've had mine for a few weeks now and can say that battery life for me has been a non issue. My previous phone was an HTC One M7 and the battery life with my X has been better for sure. I got the cognac leather back and can't say enough good things about it. It feels awesome and looks great. Haven't had it long enough to really remark on longevity but I'm not concerned. I've got leather belts, shoes and wallets that have held up tremendously well through years of use.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rams99:
Battery life is good for me. Not excellent but good enough for me to last the whole day until I fall asleep. But I have location turned off, brightness is at 70%. I would say for this phone having only a 2300mah battery it's pretty good. Ohh and I've had mine for over a month.

I used to hit the charger mid evening and was about to return the phone (within the 2 week period at Verizon) until Lollipop came out. I easily get 5+ hours screen on time now, but that's with nfc disabled, light texting, and gps in battery save mode. Also, the battery saving thread in the Turbo forum work wonders for our phone. Good luck!
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ellover009:
Thanks for the response guys. It's nice to know it has a battery life is not as bad since lolipop came out.

Man Deciding on the back is difficult. I was going originally with Bamboo but I think I am going with leather for grip-ability.

Stuck on the Leather color thou, lol. I keep hearing the Cognac is not as red as it looks on most picts online. Tempted Cognac or maybe black. Not worried as much about resale since I have a tendency to keep the phones for a long time.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stonesaber:
I bought the white front with navy leather and blue accents. So far the battery has been pretty good and the leather back is really nice. I was gonna go for the cognac at first, but the blue won out and I'm very pleased with my decision. The leather is not as slick as the bamboo, but it's not as grippy as I thought it would be.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TokedUp:
Received my X yesterday and its so awesome! Feels like a really high end phone in the hand. I got black front, silver trim, Walnut back. So happy with my purchase! Battery life seems great so far and im sure it will get better as Lollipop settles in. I would highly recommend this phone to anyone on VZW.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreenMunky:
I have had the black leather back since the device released on VZW and love it. Gives more grip than the plastic back and adds the slightest bit of thickness, but barely noticeable.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ellover009:
Received my phone. Still toying with it. Is it worth it updating to lilipop? I got the prompt to download the update but I am concerned about speed. I seen some threads about people wanting to downgrade software to get rid of lolipop. I also heard that the Encryption cannot be disabled on lolipop and that it slows it down. Can I please get some feedback on this.

Also Is messaging + better than the stock app? I got a prompt to decide on which to use when I was setting it up and settled on the default one until I figure some things out. I also have no interest into updating me google account to google +. I prefer a little more privacy.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smelkus:
I would say it is totally worth upgrading to lollipop. Aside from the visual improvements in terms of color scheme, animations, etc., I love the trusted devices and trusted places feature (SmartLock) and the way phone calls don't knock me out of what I'm doing. Only the Nexus 6 came with encryption enabled. If you upgrade, you would have to manually encrypt your phone in Security. I haven't due to the concern you mentioned. I use Hangouts for SMS/MMS, so can't help there.

Please help me find ruu that will work for me i will highly appreciate it.

P.S i always had hard time returning my htc's to stock :D unlike samsung on htc u cant flash any firmware for any region you find on interwebs :D
[HTC Desire S] jmcclue:
Is ur phone carrier unlocked?

Also before u run any ruu, u must relock ur bootloader using fastboot commands otherwise the ruu wont work. The command is

fastboot oem lock
[HTC Desire S] wolfaas12345:
It is unlocked and i tried RUU with relocked bootloader could you please provide me with ruu that will work for me and i will try again thanks
[HTC Desire S] jmcclue:
Go here

http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads

Then in the dropdown boxes put in

Device - Desire s

Android version - v4.0

Then press find files, ul see the link there its a WWE RUU and its 404 mb. That should work. Just relock ur bootloader first or it wont work.
[HTC Desire S] wolfaas12345:
Omg thanks man i tried so many ruu's none worked thanks and thanks again it worked my Desire S is back to stock :) (happiness overload)
[Motorola Droid 4] hearkenoath:
I just used RootMaster1.0.7eng.apk obtained in this forum to gain superuser access in the Verizon Droid 4 (maserati) running stock JB 4.1.2. After that, I upgraded Root Master from inside the app, installed the Safestrap app, then the Superuser app (ClockworkMod) and downloaded the zip provided in the description within the playstore. Then just reboot recovery and flashed the SU zip.

Its not for everyone, but I evaded the use of PC and drivers.

Play it safe.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rakeesh_j:
After owning my Note 4 for a few days, I already miss stock Android found on Nexus devices. I'm really thinking about returning this and getting a Nexus 6 just for that reason.

Are there any good *fully working* (i.e. EVERY FEATURE WORKS) stock Android roms available for the Note 4? I'm not even talking Cyanogen here as even that is a bit too modded for my taste. I just like the simplicity of stock Nexus roms.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShrekOpher:
Did u check the development forum? Already have a CM12 build up still not perfect but it's working and it's fast as hell
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paranoid android85:
Cm12 just landed in the development threads, it's an alpha, but pretty smooth so far. I'm sure development will be pretty fast.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rakeesh_j:
As I mentioned, I don't want Cyanogen. Just Nexus style AOSP.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devynbf:
Probably not going to be made for this device since AOSP styles (like Nexus 5 and below) are from 4.x firmwares.

Going forward not backward. Cyanogen is the closest you'll get.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dunn816:
I recently bought an htc one unlocked off of somebody and it appears that the previous owner tried rooting it. It has super user on it but when I click it it says "no su binary installed and su cant install one theres a problem" I tried uninstalling it and it just let me uninstall the update.

Also in the bootloader menu it says **TAMPERED* *unlocked* s-on.

Is there anyway I can delete everything and "re-root" from scratch or fix this?

Thanks in advance :good:
[Micromax Canvas Nitro A310/A311] rishabh1123:
hello guys !

i am using micromax canvas nitro which is a rebranded coolpad f1.

whenever i try a new lockscreen (go locker or cover) then my phone needs to get unlocked two times that means my new lockscreen is not setting itself as default

.My default lockscreen is always on the top of other lockscreens.

i am rooted and using TWRP recovery so any high level solution would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
[Micromax Canvas Nitro A310/A311] karthi1:
Go to display > lockscreen style > change to video orb lockscreen...

Now try any lock screen.... It worked for me
[Micromax Canvas Nitro A310/A311] rishabh1123:

Thanx mate....it worked for me too.
[Micromax Canvas Nitro A310/A311] rishabh1123:
Have you happen to know any custom roms specifically for canvas nitro and not for coolpad f1 because i have googled it my times but all i got was roms for coolpad f1.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BryanByteZ:
Hi people i have some questions about Rooting and unlocking the bootloader of the moto g (1st Gen) is my first phone that's need to unlocking to root and flash rom's,let's go:

1. if I unlock the bootloader everything on my phone will be wiped?

2..if I do root and unlock the bootloader in my current KitKat i will be able to upgrade to the lollipop?

3.Lollipop already have root? it supports the MultiROM?

4.if I root now be able to upgrade to the lollipop and then root again? but if there is an update after 5.0 will be able to use it (ex:5.1 minor fixes) with root?

Sorry for many questions

Thanks advanced.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] padhu1989:
1. Unlocking the boot loader will wipe everything...yes... You need to take backup of everything before unlocking..

2. You need to flash custom recovery to root your phone... My sugesstion is don't flash anything as of now or root.

If you root your phone, you will get ota,but you can't install it... So once you installed lollipop,you root it..

3. Lollipop will support multirom..wait for some dev to develop it..

4. Rooting is easy.. There are plenty of guides there for rooting.. Wait for few days to get lollipop and root it..

---------- Post added at 07:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 AM ----------

5... You can't install any official update if you root it.. But you can flash the update if any one created a flashable zip
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BryanByteZ:
thanks for answering the other questions .

then I have to wait for the kernel to become compatible with the bootloader and the system itself correct?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] padhu1989:
Wait for lollipop official update.. once installed.. you can play with your mobile.. Devs are also waiting for lollipo firmware images and they will develop the custom kernels so you can use it...
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BryanByteZ:
Thanks for replying a new noob in this world,any ETA for the Lollipop(image and ota) ? already have in Brazil in some phones but in mine .... i still awaiting....

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MustangDan74:
Quick question. I can get a good deal on a Galaxy Note Tab 10.1 that is running 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. It's a wi-fi version, no carrier. Will I be able to update to a newer OS such as Jelly Bean or KitKat? I should be able to just update over wifi, correct? Thanks - Dan
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thomas_BA:
IMHO, exept for the N8013 you get OTA/Kies updates up to 4.4.2. If you have a N8013 OTA 4.1.2, for 4.4.2 you can flash Gnabo V7 4.4.2 which by the way is much better than stock.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MustangDan74:
It is a GT-N8013 running ICS. It can be updated then to Kit Kat, without rooting? This would be for my wife as a gift, she doesn't like all that "tinkering" like I do on my phones, LOL.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thomas_BA:
The N8013 (i have the same) can be updated to 4.1.2 via OTA o Kies. There is no KitKat for this model, and i do not think there will be. Samsung forgot about it. If you want KitKat 4.4.2 than you have to flash a custom ROM which requires a Custom recovery and for that SuperSU and root. But it is worth it. The Gnabo 4.4.2 ROm is amazing, free from Bloatware and running like Speedy Gonzales :) Its easy to do.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erica_renee:
This is not totally true.. You can flash FACTORY Stock rom for the n8010 to this device. Its totally stock Rom with the Boot- loader removed so it does not Alter the ability to go back. THE N810 IS The same device only its sold internationally. this is the base firmware of gnobo rom...

OP this is your best bed right here to keep as close to stock . She will be with this rom

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MustangDan74:
I would like to hook her up with a smooth running, no bloat ROM. I realize it's been gone over in some of the other 1000+ page threads but what does the Gnabo ROM give me over the stock ICS?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erica_renee:
hope this helps..

Reasons to update

android 4.2

Samsung 2014 apps. including the new s-note Calender email and Others my mind slipped

Removed a Bunch of crap wear. and Useless apps.

Custom recovery where you can do full backups (can root without updating rom)

Moved Notifications to top Like on phone ( i really love this)

I think its a Bit faster then 4.1.2 stock rom.

You can rum 4.2 AND above only apps.

I am sure there are more

Reasons to not update

The new Multi window ui Kinda sucks. But it does work.

Prob more but for me its functioning file

You will no longer get Factory updates.. (ohh wait Samsung ditched us anyway)

Sounds like Gnobo rom would be best for you . But you read the forums and decide for yourself...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thomas_BA:
I would go for Gnabo Rom, and if you know what you do flash Boefflas Kernel. Top combination.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MustangDan74:
Would this ROM still be an improvement over 4.1 Jelly Bean? I was mistaken, it is a GT-N8013 running 4.1 JB.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erica_renee:
as i said two post up. I listed pros cons for me... I Like the 2014 note pro apps better then the old s- note and note2013 apps..

you can always root it . Install a custom recovery do a anand backup in custom recovery to external sd card.

install the rom and try it.. if you do not like Restore your backup.. You are way WAY Over thinking this simple solution.. Hope you do not mind me saying so..
