[Moto X Q&A] quaxer:
Ok, so I bought a brand new in box Moto X from an acquaintance. After a month or two it started randomly rebooting, and after a couple of weeks of rebooting once or more per day, it died. Wouldn't power on (not even recovery). I sent it in for repair>got it back>3 days and it died again>sent it in again>got it back>1 day and it died again>sent it in again>got replacement>2-3 months later the new phone is starting the cycle again. Every time I pull it out of my pocket, the lock button doesn't work, and it's locked up on Active Display. I hold the power button and reboot it, only to have it happen again in an hour. I am doing a factory reset now--does anyone have any idea what the problem may be? what i should avoid when setting it up again?

This phone is 100% untampered with. No root, no nothing.

Please help me out. Thanks!
[Moto X Q&A] bothgoodandbad:
That sounds like a headache.

When were both phones manufactured? What version of KK were you running? Did you upgrade software OTA, if so what did it upgrade to?

Are you saying you never downloaded any apps? never installed anything on the phone? What services did you use? (apps.. anything, what were they?) Were there any other things you noticed out of the ordinary? What were Motorola's responses the first time they replaced the phone? What are their responses now that you are having the same issues with this replacement device?

Otherwise I'd advise you let us know what modifications (apps installed, anything) you had done and continue to do, that will give a variable context to the issue, at least. Other wise we a have an issue with no variables on the actual phone. The more information you give the higher quality the responses you can receive;)
[Moto X Q&A] quaxer:
1) I don't know when the phones were manufactured. Can you advise me how to tell?

2) I had a number of apps on it including WhatsApp, BBM, Toggl, SwiftKey, The Weather Network, ES File Explorer, BBC, The Economist, Espresso, Google Now Launcher, Dictionary.com, TimmyMe, MyBackup Pro, eBay, Amazon, Kayak and a few others. It's still doing the same thing after a data wipe.

3) The first three times I had trouble they had me send in the phone with no quibbles. The first two times they tried to repair it (the documentation just said "replaced component, and reflashed software"), and after two failed attempts, they simply replaced it. Now they want to start the cycle over again... asking me to send it in for repair.

When they sent me the replacement it arrived with 4.4.4. The previous phone had issues with 4.4.2 and 4.4.3 both. I am still running stock 4.4.4.

Thanks for your help
[Moto X Q&A] bothgoodandbad:
Thanks, hopefully your info helps someone help you better or hopefully it can help/spark someone truly seasoned in android/moto x etc to chime in;)

To check your manufacture date boot into your fastboot menu, check image to verify you're there.

Then choose BP Tools and then once that menu loads choose the option for UPC/Manufacture date read out, check for the date when it appears on the screen, maybe you are on a batch that has specific issues.

I've never heard of this issue, yuk sounds terrible. Goodluck! If you do end up finding answers somewhere else can you please come back here and post the resolution?;)
[Moto X Q&A] quaxer:
When I hit BP Tools it just reboots the phone... I don't know what's wrong???
[Moto X Q&A] virusalone:
maybe static electricity?

or do you use any cases?

maybe wrong charger?
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
Multiple devices, different Android versions, Sounds like an app issue to me.

If it happens frequently, then that is good in a way... You could factory reset and don't install a single app. If it doesn't act up for a couple days ..... Install about 5 apps. Go a couple days.... Install 5 more, etc... Etc. When it starts to act up, you know it's an app you recently installed, so it'll be easier to narrow down.

A logcat could help too. Search on that for how. It would likely show what happened at the time of the reboot /shutdown.
[Moto X Q&A] bothgoodandbad:
use the volume +up button (once BP Tools is highlighted) and not the power button to select BP Tools ;) I'm assuming that's what's happening, hmm
[Moto X Q&A] nhizzat:
I would send it back to Motorola again. If the issues continue, tell them you want it replaced with something else like the 2014 Moto X.
[Moto X Q&A] quaxer:
Ok -- so the issues stopped completely over Christmas vacation, but I went back to work this morning (I work in a dusty woodworking plant) with my phone in my pocket, and bang, they were back. Every time I pulled my phone out of my pocket it had powered off, and finally it didn't want to power back on. I called Moto, and this time actually got a competent rep on the line. He blamed the issues on static electricity, and I second his opinion, because the machinery I work with tends to create some static, and the dust in my pocket may exacerbate the problem (?)

Anyway, he recommended that I plug the phone in and hold the power button for 2 minutes to drain the static. Voila! It seems to have worked.

Solved for the time being. Thanks everyone for your input.
[Moto X Q&A] R3dbeaver:
This thread is awesome.

Also, I recommend leaving your phone on your desk/home/car when you work :)

Or maybe a full-body armor case or something.

Statics & electronics = bad idea. Even if you can drain it and it works, it's still hurting the components inside.
[Moto X Q&A] quaxer:
So, it's been a bit, but I just came back to this phone. I never did send it in to Moto, though it seemed to have died completely. It sat in the drawer for a couple of weeks, and now on a whim I plugged it into my computer, and it started up! I had never tried plugging it into a computer, just chargers...

BUT,

In the last 10 minutes it's been sitting here rebooting itself every 2 minutes... I guess I'll try wiping it again (It didn't do the trick last time), but this phone has serious problems.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] willy792003:
Hi all,

I just want to suggest something here. Especially to the senior members like Jwright and helmi. After testing a number of WM6 ROM from this forum, I find that each ROM has its own plus. IMO, helmi's ROM is more stable and has better memory mgmt. Whereas, Jwright's ROM is more updated and has more features. So I was just thinking if the 2 of you can work together and built a super duper ROM that has all of the above. Wouldn't it be great? :)

Just my two cents
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] apd:
Great idea ... but may not be very practical considering they do these things in their spare time!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] aniel1:
Its a great idea.However, like apd said each one is in his own business and to get together is a hard thinking but in literal sense it may be difficult. But if both are reading this thread and derive to some conclusion , of course it would be welcome by all of us.:)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] SpyderTracks:
Man... it would be like clash of the Titans! :eek:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] apd:
Hopefully without the clashing!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] helmi_c:
hmm... what clash? naa... it just another modification, nothing new...

how about built your own rom? dont u think that will so much better for the community? currently I dont hv time uploading Uni WM6 rom kitchen, I'll upload it when I hv time, so user even newbie might built their own personal rom...dont u think thats cool...? stay tune... :)

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prerunnerseth:
Seems google has pulled the same thing on my nexus 9 as they did on my lg g3. Just got my nexus 9 and day 1 I tried out a you tube 4k video on 1440p (2k). Looked awesome. Now today I can no longer choose the 1440p option 1080p is the highest. Very disappointed. Anyone have the YouTube apk lying around that the nexus 9 was shipped with?
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lfrst05:
30 minutes ago I saw the first time that the YouTube app supports 1440p. I always thought it is limited to 1080p.

So I can say 1440p works on the N9 with the most recent YT app.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kajornkeat:
Hi guys, I noticed that my when OPO (probably other android devices too) receive a call, the music/media app doesn't automatically pause or mute. It keeps playing unless I pause the app. Is there anything I can do to make it automatically pause the music/media app? I've been searching all over the place but still don't have a clue what to do with it. I'd be appreciated if anyone can come up with a solution. Thanks :D
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galactus:
You should always specify the ROM you are using and the App that you are using.

Anyways I've never had this happen, I've used Google Play Music, Poweramp, PlayerPro, GoneMad Music Player, Apollo & Shuttle+ and they all pause when I receive a call.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kajornkeat:
Ah, sorry my bad. I use unroot XNPH44S with a Google Play Music. I think it might have something to do with a silent mode and headphone. I'll test it and see if that's the problem. Thank you for your response, Galactus.

[ONE Themes and Apps] dishu_me:
Nice one. Thanks! But I can't figure out how I can add it to the lockscreen of my OPO:(

I added the widget to of the screens alright but how do I make it show up when my screen is locked? Can you help?

Thanks again!!

Floatify it's nice, although for me was a little buggy
[ONE Themes and Apps] pratoscope:
Sad to hear you didn't like NiLS. For me it is the only thing I need
[ONE Themes and Apps] Rkr87:
You've probably got both the dashclock and normal clock widget displayed, delete the page with the standard clock widget to always display dashclock.

I haven't used Dashclock for a while as I'm using Mahdi (has built in lockscreen notifications) but I'm pretty sure you need to force full screen widget mode to see notifications.
[ONE Themes and Apps] bartjeh1991:
Upgrade to android lollipop :D
[ONE Themes and Apps] ksekhar:
If you are on KitKat, install Xblast and go to Xlocky to configure lock screen notifications. It actually works pretty good. If you are on Lollipop then this is a stupid question :)
[ONE Themes and Apps] beaver2233:
+1 - NiLS is awesome for me. I guess just wait till lollipop is official for the OPO (inbuilt lockscreen notifications).
[ONE Themes and Apps] Galactus:
If you want a built in solution, it is integrated directly with Mahdi Rom
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fronzinator:
Hello!

I looked through the threads and I found a lot of people writing about their destroyed screen and solutions.

Unfortunatelly, I haven't found a similar problem to mine.

So here are the facts:

- Nexus 4 with stock Android 5 Lollipop

- Rooted

- Pattern locked screen

- Touchscreen doesn't work anymore, because screen is cracked

- USB Debugging enabled, but computer is not trusted

- TWRP installed

So I can't just enable adb sideload or something in recovery because it requires my touchscreen and I cant unlock the screen in order to access my files.

I read following thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2786395 about how to control a device with your PC. However, the tool can't find my Nexus, I think it's because my PC is not a trusted debugging device.

Also I'm afraid the stock kernel doesn't support USB OTG, so this isn't an option either and I can't just sideload another kernel or recovery because TWRP requires touch function.

I hope you can help me asap! :)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] egejo:
Ok here is the issue...

I updated my G900F to 5.0 G900FXXU1BNL7.

Then Dowgraded to stock G900FXXU1ANCE.

But now no custom recovery could be flashed neither by odin or apk kind method TWRP Manager. I was only able to root with towelroot to get these info on the photo attach and a backup of my EFS.

As you might see the bootloader was also downgraded so dont know why it fails always...

I have try already:

CF-Auto-Root-klte-kltexx-smg900f, openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-klte or philz_touch_6.57.8-klte with same results always Failing Odin at the end of process...soft bricking the phone and had to reflash G900FXXU1ANCE and re root etc...

Tested also to untick the auto reboot option on Odin same thing.

Here is the Odin log as it is always:

Any guide, tip, help or is something is apreciated or now it is locked the phone after the upgrade/downgrade?

Attach is a photo of detailed information of the phone status right now it is rooted thanks to towelroot but I cann't put custom recovery for a custom ROM I need to open LTE bands.

Please help.

Its on here somewhere ill have a look but you to incase i forget :)

yes it is just recovery, so neither rooting or custom rom.

Just tested again in G900FXXU1ANG7_G900FXEO1ANG2_alexndr.tar Stock ROM but same issue.

It fails and on the phone on dowload screen at the end of the text there is a yellow message that says

Set Warranty Bit : cache

Dont know if your solution of using another Pit could solve but that will not change the IMEI or something else too? Or will be safe to test...

Tested without the Auto Reboot, dd not work neither...

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juDGEY2k10:
Can you flash anything at all via odin? Roms?

EDIT -

Only thing i can think of is do download a pit file for your phone this will wipe all data, then try again. The odin error looks like the one i had when i had to change mine. Just make sure u do a full backup.

do you want me to upload the PIT file?

Is the boot-loader unlocked?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] egejo:
Yes I can flash stock roms without issue but nothing else as it fails.

Yes I believe that will be another test to do maybe the PIT got corrupted or locked dont know if you could upload it apreciated. Will do the full backup meanwhile.

The bootloader is supposed to be unlocked as it is a g900F but dont know how to verify that. As you see in photo of first page the bootloader showed was also downgraded acording to phone info but dont know 100% sure.

Ok I'm starting to give up on these phone....

The steps I did and did not work…

Flashing only the Pit on Odin FAILS turned of and restarted kind of boot loop but entering recovery / factory reset solved.

Tested to load again TWRP after Pit fails but got soft brick as always fails in NAND Write and the cell shows in yellow

Set warranty bit: cache

Retuned to stock G900FXXU1ANCE made factory reset to be sure…re enable USB debugging.

Enter Download Mode again

Then Flashed PIT file+ G900FXXU1ANJ1

Worked no Odin error

Tested again to load CF-Auto Root with Odin, same error as always and fails at the end of process showing in phone "Set warranty bit: cache"

Soft bricked, loaded stock G900FXXU1ANJ1 and thats it same spot. It only takes Stock roms can't touch it.

So it does not take pit file alone it fails but together with a stock rom it works but does not solve anything.
