[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daredeshouka:
Hi,

I just purchased a Moto G XT1032 (Canada Telus Prepaid if it matters) and it came with 4.4.4 out of the box. I'm coming from a Nexus 5 and I understand the Moto G is not built to compete with the N5 but I'm disappointed with the touch response or I think "input lag". Although I have a Nexus 5, I've never rooted or flashed any custom rom before so I have no idea if that will help on the Moto G.

I'm satisfied with the performance of the Moto G except when it comes to just the general input lag which I'm not really sure is a result of the cpu/gpu/memory. I have an older slower single core Windows 7 phone which is able to keep up with my finger location.

To demonstrate my issue, if you go into developer settings and set pointer location on and then move your finger quickly across the screen, the pointer location is always about half a centimeter behind my finger trail. On the N5 the pointer location is always tracking my finger. I can't outrun it. This happens at all time, even right after a reboot, so it's not due to cpu/memory suffocation. I just wonder if it's Android in general throttling the system to keep the system from avoiding lag or if it's just a touch driver issue?

Would trying a custom rom help? My brother has the same Moto G and the input lag is the same on his so I highly doubt my device is defective. I have a few more days to return the device. Again I'm not complaining about the performance of the device in general, I just wish it would register my finger movements more quickly. I play Wordaments a lot which isn't an intensive game, but the audio/visual feedback of my finger movement does help me keep my rhythm/tempo going. Even on my very old Windows Phone 7 LG Quantum, which is a single core 800MHz or 1GHz, I can score better because of the audio/visual feedback is faster. Also tried a new game last night called Sky Force 2014 and found it very aggrivating to play on the Moto G. The ship I'm controlling moves delayed compared to my finger location.

I do not have the maginification gesture set to on, so it can't be that either.

Thank you.

Edit: Just tried the same stuff on my mother's Samsung Galaxy S2 with 4.1.2 stock which is a slow device and it had just as quick finger/pointer location tracking as my Nexus 5. So this must clearly be a touch driver issue. I'm just looking for someone who can confirm that a custom rom can improve the touch input lag on the Moto G, so I can better decide whether to keep it and try experimenting with it or rather just accept that the touch hardware is capped at this speed and should return it.

Edit #2: The N5 and SGS2 have screen protectors, while the Moto G's and the LG Quantum are bare glass. The SGS2 is 480x800 to the Moto G's 720x1280 so it does have an advantage in that the gpu has less pixels to draw but still in the case of the pointer location it's not really drawing much, just a cross-hair and pointer trail.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeltingSnowman:
I think you have a defective unit. Return it and get another one. Mine works like a boss so... Good luck (:
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ketcchup:
I have no imput lag too, maybe it's just your device and you should try warranty.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daredeshouka:
Thanks for the input guys. I must be quite unlucky, I bought the other one for my brother over a month ago and they both behave the same. He came from a Samsung Discover so he doesn't care.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThatGuy94:
I want to get into Android/CM ROM building but I am having issues with building and getting the source on an external hard drive. The reason I'm building on an external hard drive is I don't have enough space on my laptop's internal hard drive so I really don't have a choice. My Ubuntu partition only has about 30 GB of free space which isn't enough space to build with. I made a 250 GB ext4 partition specifically for Android development but I keep getting these issues when I try and make the directories to it, I get permission denied errors.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wayandrs:
Rather odd, never happened to me with any ROM previously.

Devices is a Korean Note 3, rooted, running the latest X-Note. Pin lock is enabled.

Randomly the screen will turn on, and right to the apps, no lock at all.

I disabled xposed, tasker, anything that might be interfering or have special tweaks that could have a bug. I have wakeup detector installed, keeping an eye on screen wake events. There is nothing suggesting what might be causing the screen on, and the strange part of it all bypassing the lock screen altogether.

I usually just read existing topics to find answers, but this one leaves me confused. Is there another logging solution to find out what is activating the screen and bypassing lock?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wayandrs:
After days of messing about, found something that appears to stop it. Revoking admin rights from Greenify. Still works otherwise, as it appears.

Also, eight hour standby time, loosing zero % battery. Amazing xnote + some tweaks.

[Fire TV General] evoxsin:
....install from zip

If the process is the same on aftv then use adbfire to push the SprtsDvl zip to your storage.

Then on xbmc? Assuming your running that on the aftv..since you didnt make any mention of just stated you wanted to install on aftv.

Anyway.

Xbmc go to settings/addons/install from zip/sd or storage/bottom of list will be your zip/install/enjoy.
[Fire TV General] ryu05:
i try that and put error script, no dependeance error too, if you have one plugins work with that method please share.
[Fire TV General] evoxsin:
Ill assume its because its not playing well with sportsdevil

Pm sent
[Fire TV General] Griz Behr:
If you happen to have Sports Devil running on another device with XBMC on it (ipad, ect) you can download XBMC Backup on that device and perform a backup of your XBMC. I saved the file to my NAS. Then download XBMC Backup on your Fire TV and do a restore. I have done this on multiple boxes and sticks and it works great.
[Fire TV General] ryu05:
How i can backup on me pc to pass to xbmc amazon fire tv, if its possible, can put the stetps to do please.

Thanks
[Fire TV General] evoxsin:
Ive provided you with the steps on how to install from a zip and intructions how to use abdfire to push a zip to the stick.

Ive also sent you a link to download the zip....

I understand english isnt your first language. But asking a diff member for a different way of getting to the same answer after ive provided you with exact details is beyond anything i can offer.

Good luck. Im unsubcribing.
[Fire TV General] ryu05:
I install the digitele ando all works, thanks for that, but i say if exist a way to backup me xbmc pc to me amazon fire tv, to get all me plugins and repository same on amazon fire tv like pc.

Thanks
[Fire TV General] bu08usc11:
I am using adbFire and found this same sequence on line. I cannot get it to work. I go into the program, push the zip to add ons or sd card (tried both) and it just does not appear on the kodi on the fire tv. I have looked in every folder and can't find it. I started with root/sd card since that's what I saw elsewhere. Any ideas?
[Fire TV General] porkenhimer:
You can just download it on your Fire TV then unzip it and move the folder to your addons folder. People are still updating the sportsdevil addon and there are a few places that you can find the updates. The latest version is 1/15/2015. Just google it to find the download.
[Fire TV General] bu08usc11:
That'll work. Thanks!
[Fire TV General] lexluthor:
Got a link you can post (or PM)?

I've found sportsdevil version 1.8.8.0 from 10/17/14, but nothing more recent.
[Fire TV General] porkenhimer:
Like I said, google it. I stopped posting links on here because the mods.*
[Fire TV General] lexluthor:
I did before posting. I couldn't find it an updated version. Maybe someone else here will.
[Fire TV General] danknasty:
What is digitele sports I see tons of posts claiming that this is the new version of sports devil.
[Fire TV General] KLit75:
I couldn't find a recent link either. I found a page with many sportsdevil video plugin zips but when I push it to aftv it doesn't show up for some odd reason. I tried pushing to different locations. I understand not posting those links but if a pm is ok I'd like to get it working, but it's not urgent because I mostly use it for baseball games in spring/summer.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] uheux:
Hi Everyone,

I have a Dopod696 (brand name for Himalaya in mainland China) for two years and recently it starts to randomly freeze, several times a day. The freeze appears totally random. I can't figure out any correlation between the freezes and the phone, the SIM card, any particular software or the SD card. I tried flushing the ROM with wm2003se or wm2005, but the random freeze persists. I suspect that it is the hardware memory that's damaged.

Could anyone point me to the right direction in further debugging this problem? In windows, there is the event viewer where I can find possible causes of a machine crash. Is there a similar thing for window mobile 2005? Or is there a hardware diagnosis tool available? And does anyone know is the memory replaceable for this device?

Many Thanks!

Alex
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] wilson77:
Same problem with my XDAII

Hi guys,

I also have the same problem with my XDAII as it freezes very often and then it becomes very difficult to start it then...I also feel that it has got a hardware problem as I have also tried upgrading to 2003SE as well as WM5 roms. Can anyone suggest a good shop in mumbai doing repair for O2 sets ?

To clarify, the flash light (for camera etc. ) is not turning on or flashing for pictures since I dropped my phone today :mad:. I can hear a rattling in the general area. What would I need to fix this issue?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcook55:
I'm stumped, BT calls used to work fine until I reset the OPO to fix something else. Now, the phone pairs fine and all other aspects of BT connected to a car stereo work fine EXCEPT the caller can't hear me. I can voice dial just fine so I know the phone is able to hear me and the mic works but once a call connects either incoming or outgoing I can't talk to the caller unless I switch to the handset. I've paired and repaired numerous times, and like I said before, factory reset the device. Not sure what's going on. I know it's not the car stereo as my Nexus 5 works fine.

Thoughts?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
I just got the Note 4 and gave my S5 to my sister. Given the better processor I expected this thing to blaze but so far it seems quite laggy compared to the S5. The screen colors don't pop as well either. As a matter of fact it's hard to believe this is a super amoled screen. The S5 seems much more vivid. The whites on this aren't white and the blacks are dark gray.

Web pages in Dolphin loaded almost instantly on my S5. On this even simple Web pages are taking 5 to 10 seconds to load even though I'm getting 30 mbps download speed.

So what gives? Is the high ppi screen lagging me out?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pongoface:
Root and run my ported rom EchoeHybrid or give back the note and get the s5. Mine is beast.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Traldera:
Hi guys,

I need root access on my M7 so I can stream spotify over DLNA. I've never done anything like this before and I'm struggling to find a guide that explains everything so hopefully you can help. As it stands my device is as normal (up to date on EE network)

Given i only need root access for the DLNA, im not even sure how far I have to take this - whether I need a custom ROM or not etc. Ideally I would like to keep the ability to get OTA updates, although obviously dont care about EE branding.

Any and all help is appreciates. Also I'm an experienced programmer, so don't worry about me being 'squeamish around PCs' etc, although by all means explain all you can :P

cheers!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
follow the guide there:

so basically you'll need to

unlock the bootloader

flash a custom recovery

root from custom recovery

unlocking the bootloader will wipe your phone so backup your data before.

unlocking the bootloader will also wipe some HTC preloaded apps in /data/media/preload so you will not be able to use ota update unless you restore all these files after unlocking the bootloader.

you should post your question in the "q&a" subforum next time not in "general" ;)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Traldera:
Ahhh thank you! I didn't even notice that button there when I was looking!

Is there a way to get OTA updates reenabled? I've read it can be done but nowhere explains how. Something about changing an ID code on the phone?

Also, can I back up what I have in some way in case I want to undo it?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
restore your /data/media/preload folder or return to stock

Don't know what youre talking about but no

for ota update your need

stock CID that match your software version

stock MID that match your software version

100% stock rom (untouched /system partition and /data/media/preload)

firmware and software version must match together

Hey,

I'm trying to root my Kindle Fire HDX (3. Generation) at time but I'm facing a problem. I'm using the Fire OS 4.5.2 . I enabled ADB, allowed externed apps to get installed and installed the driver.

That's the problem

-I start my KFHDX TOOLKIT v0.95

-Press 1 to install the Towelroot

- towelroot v1 starts on my device

- I press make it rain and nothing happens.

The "make it ra1n" button gets orange but it seems like the program is frozen - no message. I can still leave the application but at the end of the day my device is not going throug the rooting process.

Can anybody help me with that ? It would help me a lot. :)

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undergrad:
I appear to have some sort of weird grease on my Samsung S5 screen by the home button. The weird part is that I'm able to wipe it away with a lint free cloth, but once I start using the button again the "grease" marks will appear again. I have tried cleaning the screen with water as well as a mixture of 50% water 50 rubbing alcohol. I'm wondering if it may be a imperfection in the screen itself or something under the screen?

Here is a photo showing the marks on the screen as well as a photo after I have cleaned the screen.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] knarfies:
i would think this would help more with consistent speeds vs everyone getting higher speeds. Im sure if you are connected to the wideband lte you would see higher speeds during non peak hrs but i can definitely tell the difference in peak hours vs non peak hrs in ABQ NM. Ive seen as low as less than 1mbps down due to congestion and no, i wasnt throttled. Around 11pm, my speeds would jump up. It basically forced me to use my wifi at home due to such low speeds. Hopefully the wideband increase will help clear up congestion as the faster people load/download their data...the faster they can get through the pipeline allowing for a smoother flow. Considering youtube would stop qrtr way through the video due to buffering... i would hope this would fix some of those types of issues.
