Argos have no option BUT to refund me. If you want to pay me £50, please do so - I'll take that as a deposit. ;)

Resetting may "cure" the terrible issues TEMPORARILY, but won't prevent them - these are OS design flaws that cause the problems, nothing else, and moving to a decent platform , prevents that. I don't need to spend my whole life downloading apps and playing games, I am a photographer with a life - there's more to enjoy in life than what's inside the boundaries of a screen.

best bet is to wipe it and say it hasnt rebooted since the UK 5.0.2 update today......
[G 2014 General] gnubash:
I am not in any way required to say anything more than that it is not of satisfactory quality or working as per my expectations. I have bought and sold more electronic goods in 39 years than I care to remember, and I don't need to over-think things and make up half truths and little stories - dishonesty is a terrible thing, and I am not a dishonest person, and refuse to lie. I am too busy, and the phone is faulty, ergo, it goes back, end of.

Keyboard Bug?...

Hi guys! I have received Lollipop in Germany... But I think I have a bug... Normally, in Lollipop, we should have Google Keyboard with Gesture Typing, right? But I still have the AOSP Keyboard without Gesture Typing ( The app has been updated with Material Design themes, but no Gesture Typing, and the name hasn't changed either... ) I was hoping if anyone could solve my problem... Thanks in advance...

Just saying Argos can be hit or miss on mobile phone refunds - sometimes they do, sometimes they dont
[G 2014 General] ratyfu:
Yes, but I think you have to sideload it if you're in Germany. Last time I checked it wasn't available on German play store

I've returned many, many items to Argos over many years; I have yet to be left to walk away unsatisfied or fobbed off, I am very much aware of how to get to the point, politely, and leave having had a successful resolution. I'm not your average gullible British consumer, put it that way.

Wow, you're so grateful.

Honestly I don't understand what you want to know then.

Maybe someone else can help you.
[G 2014 General] ft_root:
I have to disagree with you as do many others here who are more informed than you. You are a professional photographer, nice job to have, except you should take more time to look around here and pick up some of the wisdom from the more experienced, and the more technically minded. Your photography skills didn't develop overnight, tweaking your phone for good battery life versus performance is just the same, it takes time to get it right.

Once tweaked properly and some of the bloat removed you'll get there and enjoy a respectable battery performance. Patience is the key.

Once you gain a little more ability you can try some of the custom ROMs, XDA has some very talented developers and there are quite a few ROMs available now, but that's a topic for another thread.

There is a wealth of information for us relative newcomers like you and I, and with a little patience and taking the advice of those more knowledgeable, you should be able to get your battery life up a respectable figure. Of course if you are on social media all the time don't expect it to last all day.

This is a great forum, the long standing members will give you plenty of help, you just need to request nicely. I've been a lurker here since I got my Moto G 2014 and have picked up enough knowledge to make a vast improvement since un-boxing it. Stick with and you can do the same.

Good luck, you'll get there in the end.
[G 2014 General] gnubash:
I'm not sure a total stranger is able to make a credible judgement call on my level of "technical" experience or not. You were polite, not rude in any manner, but you seem to think that - just because I do photography, that must be my only skill in life (a commonly drawn conclusion, an easy trap to fall into). I'm a 39 year old man who has qualifications in electronic repair and design, since 1993, and I've been taking things apart since I was around 5 years old. My room looks like an electronic graveyard, hah. If you care to search YouTube for "unlokia", you'll find many hundreds of my videos, documenting how things work as I tear them down. As for software, I've been using Linux variants of almost every distro available since 2003, I've used every version of Windows since 3.1, I'm responsible for many router hacks on " the-scream" forums, I've repaired more computers and mobile phones than I've had hot dinners, soldered more joints on factory production lines, and seen more oscilloscope traces and diagnosed more faulty transistors and ICs than most people have seen in a lifetime... etcetera. I won't type out a catalogue of every technical achievement and interest I have, you would be bored to years, and I'd come out sounding like I was boasting, which I hope I've not, thus far.

The reason I made this post was to remind you that people barely ever know one another on forums, let alone do they know that person's capabilities or interests, OR their level of experience across a breadth of fields; I just wanted to make the point that it is somewhat foolhardy to assume, in any situation, ever.

Soak test or official?

:confused:I installed the soak test version of lollipop. I'm having battery draining issues. So, the rom u posted here is the official one? As in ,if i install it again will it be different from the soak test version?

can't get the OTA message again

Hi there,

So I have the Indian version of moto g (2nd gen).

I got the OTA update but used to ignore it as was connected to phone data. Then one day it suddenly started updating itself. The update halted midway as the data got over.

When I tried manually checking for the update once I reconnected via WiFi it just shows me the message that "last checked update at hh:mm:ss" where hh:mm:ss is the current time and it also says system is up to date.

I am still on 4.4.4

Can anyone tell me how to overcome this.

I tried restarting and force restarting

No difference.

Don't want to factory reset my phone

So my question is that if I use this soak test update and copy it into the storage and check for the update will it work and/or is it safe.

I hope my phone doesn't brick or something.

Please advise
[G 2014 General] Kunal5894:
Relax, it is fine. Essentially it is the same update, the only difference is you're downloading it manually and putting it in your sd card. I used the same update as soon as it came out and I've been using it for months since then.
[G 2014 General] puravyas:
My phones system version is 22.11.14 and and Build Number is KXB21.85 - 14. I read in the comments that this soak test update wunt work for this system version.

What should I do?

My Bad

I didn't know about this! It might give me a chance to have my phone fixed after it bricked itself. Thanks. I don't know why Motorola said my warranty is void even though I only flashed stock firmware. Its probably because its not good for their business ;)
[G 2014 General] zman01:
If it's a hardware problem and not a software problem caused by you by unlocking the phone, then they have to repair it in the EU. :)

Wifi exclamation mark. Solutions?

I have Moto G 2014 running 5.0.2. I didn't have any problems till yesterday, when I discovered that the Wifi connection symbol is having the exclamation mark as well.

Now I' connected to the same same Wifi , my home's, for nearly for the past 6 months. Never has this happened before.

I've seen many users facing the same problem and there are few solutions to it. (Not performed in order. Different steps only)

Switch off wifi. Turn off phone. Restart the phone

Forget wifi connection. Restart the phone and then connect to the network freshly.

Changing the band frequency to 2.4 Ghz. Although Moto G XT1068 dual sim does not give this as the option. :confused:

Connecting to the Mobile Data Network and then switching on wifi. Yes this connects to the wfi. The networks up and running the "H" disappears and connects to my wifi and the internet. But the symbol doesn't go.

Manaully configuring the wifi to Static mode and giving the right IP and Gateway addresses

Tried this as well http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58252752&postcount=38

None of the above steps have worked. Now I've a UN-rooted phone. And I'm still under warranty.

Interestingly though I have a Nexus 5 that I use to connect to the same Wifi. And there's no symbol on that phone. Initially when it tries to connect

there's the symbol but no symbol after ward.

Please help.

Many Thanks

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know there's no dual sim XT1064. You probably have the XT1068. If so, it will work. If you really have an XT1064, it won't work!

Hi guys

I'm using cm 12.1 on xt1068

How should I install the rom?

Go to twrp n Flash it? N wipe the dalvik cache?
[G 2014 General] sagar846:
This is the official OTA. You'll have to be on stock 4.4.4 and have the stock recovery to flash this (its automated).

IMO Cm 12.1 (the snapshot) is more stable than the LP OTA. So I recommend that you stay on CM. LP 5.0.2 has lots of bugs and is less stable than cm.

XT1068
[G 2014 General] smitharro:
No, it wil only work from the official KitKat 4.4.4. Since you're on Marshmallow already, your must have an updated bootloader.

To use this you will have to downgrade to KitKat. BUT, since you have an upgraded bootloader, downgrading to KitKat will not downgrade your bootloader! Applying an OTA to Lollipop or higher, will, in this case, wreck the bootloader and you'll get a hardbrick!! This means, your phone is a paperweight after this!
