The Motorola OEM charger is of only 0.5A whereas the Samsung one is of 2.0A.

I think Motorola did not keep it in mind that their device charges a lot faster with 2.0A current.

Sent from my XT1033
[Moto G General] moralesnery:
Well, a 0.5A charger gotta be cheaper and safer for the device..
[Moto G General] Netherdrake034:
Motorola itself said that Moto G needs a charger upto 1.5A so it can use a charger of 1.5A for best charging.

Upgraded to lollipop my xt1032! Its very good with no bigs till the moment! After update i did wipe data and wipe cache partition which i think its nessecery!

The animations lags sometimes so i went to developer optioms and put the scales to 0.5x from 1x and it is absolutely better!! Hope i helped
[Moto G General] larkim:
Updated a retail UK Moto G 1032 yesterday. The whole update process, including "optimising" apps took nearly 45 minutes.

Now the Play Store is really struggling. Overnight, just 4 apps (out of about 20) successfully updated, and now I can't get it to update any apps at all.

Has anyone else had issues with the play store messing up after 5.0.2 update?

I will do a full reset at some point, but don't really want to do that today if I can help it. Any suggestions?
[Moto G General] VairneLeone:
So you did not do a reset?

Do one, you'll see the difference.

I use Android 5 since December and no problems.
[Moto G General] MarckozZ:
please help me!

Guys I want to tell my story... Back in December, when Lollipop 5.0.1 for Moto G GPE came out, I converted my G to GPE, that means, I had now the new L bootloader from Google... Having 5.0.1, time after that, my phone slipped from my hands and the display got broken... So I was without a working phone.. I could see a little of the screen...

Don't know why but, when that Brazilian 5.0.2 firmware image came up, I decided to flash it, even thoug I had my display broken! So then, I had Brazilian L, 5.0.2, and of course my bootloader and partition table got updated to the ones provided by Moto in that Brazilian firmware image... But now, I want to have this retail Argentinian firmware... I don't know what to do!!!!! I have three options....

1. Wait until someone provides the entire firmware image of Lollipop Retail AR and continue with Brazilian L for now...

2. Risk my phone and downgrade to KK 4.4.4 Retail AR, flashing everything except from motoboot.IMG and gpt.bin and then update via OTA, don't know if that will brick my device... Or

3. As I read on a thread in the section, risk my device and flash the entire KK retail Ar firmware,, including motoboot and gpt.bin, that could brick my device, don't know... And if that succeeds, OTA to L.....

I have this doubt because I want retail AR system instead of Brazilian, besides, my screen is still broken and I paid AR$1290 for an entire new display! I will die if I replace the display and after that brick the device because of flashing something I was supposed not to flash!!!!! What do you recommend me to do? What scares me most is that gpt.bin and that motoboot thing....

I guys, I made a clean install 2 days ago.3 questions:

*is it normal to have 3 phone apps installed?

*Am I the only one with this " green plus " in the keyboard? It's google keyboard from PS.

*i have the gmail app and the e-mail app. Both are working well, but i remember that google dismissed the e-mail app using it only to bypass users to gmail. Do you have this app installed? Do u use it?

Tnx and sorry for my english
[Moto G General] tzzeri:
Clear data for app store.

---------- Post added at 03:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 PM ----------

First of all, cross number 3 off the list. You can't downgrade the bootloader. I one tried and luckily the only thing that happened was that it failed and I still had the new one, but you might end up bricking your phone.

Of course number 1 is the best option, but if you are really impatient, then so step 2 carefully, following a guide. You might first need to go to 4.4.4 br and then to 4.4.4 ar, but I'm not sure. I'd say go with 1. Your phone's working fine, so don't brick it.
[Moto G General] lollerblade:
I had the same issue as yours, plus strange messages saying that Play Services' version was out of date, while actually was not.

I tried with a wipe cache and deleting app data of Play Store, somehow the situation got better, but phone still was laggy and seemed a bit "dumb" in all basic operations, so I prefered to do a full reset and all was solved. I know it's very bothering to set all again, but the benefits that it gives are a lot. I would definitely suggest to do it when you have free time ;)

Device Administrator

Apps with Device Admin status (e.g. Secure Settings) are broken under 5.0.2 - they can clear password/pin but cannot set a password/pin.
[Moto G General] ZoomahZoomah:
Lollipop 5.0.2 GB stock running fine except "cast screen" quock setting tile.

The "cast screen" tile consistently shows "no devices found even when the chromcast app, YouTube, Netflix etc can see the Chromecast and play content on it. Why?
[Moto G General] Penemue:
I keep seeing the apps I already closed on the "Recent Apps" screen or whatever it's called now with Lollipop.

First, everything seems fine, when I swipe them left or right, it kills the app but later, if I kill all the apps, exit the screen and press the square button again, it will show a process running like MotorolaOTA for example. I close it, press the square again and now there is some other app that I already closed and this keeps on going until it runs out of apps to show.

The apps does gets killed, they are not really working in the background or anything, they just keep showing up there if I do this. Pretty weird.
[Moto G General] lollerblade:
I had the same issue for the first 3-4 days after the update, some random apps kept appearing in the list, although I had killed them or even not opened at all.

Now I don't know why but it's automatically gone, no app appears anymore after being killed.

[Moto G General] neu - smurph:
Disabled by design by Moto - shame they forgot to hide it from Quick Settings - if you are rooted you can enable Cast Screen via this route with a build prop edit - or just carry on using the Chromecast App.
[Moto G General] ZoomahZoomah:
Thanks

Good to know. I presume the next update will remove the quick tile rather than enable it.

Does anyone have experience of using cast screen from the quick tile? Does it work as well as the Chromecast app?

Battery Drain

I have to say that at least one bug causing battery drain is still present. It seems to drain the battery in about 1 to 2 days, and I think it may be related to GPS or WiFi operation (I have not figure out which one yet). Of course Kitkat had a number of these bugs, but I was hoping they would have fixed them by now ... :(
[Moto G General] lollerblade:
I have no explanation for this, but as I wrote some posts ago, I've been facing this same issue for a few days after the update, and then it's gone by itself. Now no random apps appear between the recent apps.

Just another one to confirm that after 5.02 is installed via OTA my phone was very laggy, just done a full factory reset and so far it is working well.
[Moto G General] DaSnack:
Searched in the thread but didn't find anyone commenting it. Google translate lost the simultaneous translation function with the camera, now it's back on the old "take a picture, mark the text" way of older versions. Checked it and the app is updated, maybe it's a camera issue, but I don't know how to fix it.
[Moto G General] diecast:
Yea it needs factory reset and wipe cache partition also go to developer options and put the animation scale ans other scales from 1x to 0.5 !

This will make your moto even better because animations in lollipop are laggy bythem selfs and kinda heavy

Hope i helped
[Moto G General] neu - smurph:
Probably GPS if you bought your device in the first couple of months after launch....... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2654180. It's pretty clearly a hardware fault (I've had it on 4.3, 4.4.2. 4.4.4 and now 5.0.2). Rebooting after GPS use is the only solution.
[Moto G General] tzzeri:
It's not caused because of that. It's caused because phones need to be recharged. He said it's draining in 1-2 days. That a very normal amount of time the battery should last.
[Moto G General] MrPuddington3:
No, it is not this easy. 1-2 days with normal use are ok, but that means it should last longer if everything is switched off. And unfortunately that is not the case: this bug means that even with everything switched off, the phone struggles to last 2 days. (Without the bug, it easily makes 10 to 14 days on a charge!) And once you use it, battery life can be less than a day.

I still think that this is really a software issue, but it must have a hardware aspect, too.
[Moto G General] maccboy2010:
Finally got around to doing a full reset today, and I have to say I wish I'd done it earlier. My phone was stuttering and apps were foreclosing. It's 10 times better now. Defiantly do that reset wipe after a new update peeps. ?
[Moto G General] ZoomahZoomah:
10 to 14 days is a fantasy for ANY smartphone, regardless of how much you use it.

For our plucky wee Moto G (with its relatively small battery) to last a couple of days is totally normal.

Depending g on your usage, charging your phone every day is normal too.
[Moto G General] neu - smurph:
You are misunderstanding what Mr P is saying.

There are a a small subset of Moto G 2013 owners (mostly with phones purchased shortly after launch Nov 13 to Jan 14) that have a issue with anomalous battery drain after GPS use. For me it's been present in all OS updates - 4.3, 4.4.2, 4.4.4 and now 5.0.2.

So if I charge my phone, reboot and then leave it alone I will generally get a drain of

Airplane mode - about 0.2% hr

Mobile Data or Wifi On with Sync on - between 0.5% and 1% per hour - if I left the phone alone it would still have plenty of battery left 3 or 4 days down the line.

If I use GPS for 15 minutes plus then turn location back to battery saving then leave my phone alone I get

Airplane mode - about 1.7% hr

Mobile Data or Wifi On with Sync on - between 2% and 2,5% per hour. Given that I've already used maybe 10-15% whilst actively using GPS with the screen on I'm guaranteed a dead phone within a day and half.
[Moto G General] MrPuddington3:
Yes, but that is not the point. Most smartphones will last a week if you switch everything off and don't use it. The Moto G does, as long as you never use GPS. Use GPS just once, and it is empty in 2 days. That clearly indicated that the GPS unit does not get switched off properly, thus needlessly draining the battery. Add some moderate use, and it only lasts just over 1 day.

And that is not a good battery lifetime for a smartphone at moderate use. All other smartphones I had used to last about 3 days at moderate use, even the cheap ZTE Blade and the battery hungry Orange San Diego.
[Moto G General] ZoomahZoomah:
I take your point. It foes sound like a hardware bug.

My wife has a one plus one. Her battery life is roughly two days to my one (were both pretty heavy users). I have no issue charging my moto g overnight.

Given that the G has a much smaller battery this seems about right. I've not tested battery drain in air plane mode as I like to use my device for all the awesome thongs it can do.

I guess I'm saying "lower your expectations slightly' A daily recharge on a smartphone like the G seems normal and if there is a hardware bug in early models which causes drain in air plane mode... Well you're still getting a day's use out of it.
[Moto G General] MrPuddington3:
I understand what you are saying, I just don't agree. I never had to recharge a smartphone daily, so why should my "new" smartphone be worse than my old smartphone?

And that is not even the main problem. I usually manage 3 days on a charge, but sometimes the GPS bug strikes, and the phone is empty in the morning. It is the unpredictability that is annoying. Maybe I should do a daily reboot...
[Moto G General] ZoomahZoomah:
Yeah. Sounds frustrating. Pitty we can't auto reboot daily. It would be useful generally.
[Moto G General] eemgee:
I have this gps bug and although the battery is ok it could be so much better.

With bug I drain about 1.5% per hour in airplane mode

Without bug, I drain a average under 1% with light use. This makes the drain very frustrating

I also have the battery drain problem, I'm having to charge my phone during the night and day or it just dies with no warning if I went to bed with about 30% battery, it would be dead by morning, use to last ages with warnings but I get nothing like that
[Moto G General] enban:
The most annoying bug (whell, in my case I could say *the only bug that I could find*) is that battery gets depleted very repidly when mobile data are active. Indeed, programs like Aquamail or K9, or even Google Play Services show an impressive "Mobile Data Active" time in their details under the "Battery" section".

Would like to find a workaround for this problem. Other than that, Lollipop works flawlessly on my phone.

Am I the onlyone in the forum that has a problem with the alarm after the lollipop update?

I have an XT1032 (Retail GB). The alarm doesn't function properly after the update. Actually sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.

When it doesn't, there's no sound from the alarm, although it goes off (the screen is flashing and it shows snooze and kill buttons).

At first I thouht that I just silenced it without realizing, but forst of all, I have selected that the volume buttons do nothing while the alarm goes off, and secondly a friend of mine, with the exact same phone (bought at the same time, same store) has the same problem.
[Moto G General] CJMom:
If you set silent mode in Lolipop it will mute your alarms too. That's probably your problem.

[Moto G General] Mustajab Is'haq:
I just had the screen turning completely black bug. It was scary!

I have had Adaptive Brightness ON since I got the Lollipop update a few months ago. I never had any issue with it. Just a few mins ago I turned down the brightness slider a little too much on the left side of the screen, and locked the phone unaware that it would completely go blank.

And that's exactly what happened. It went batman black, leaving me stranded for answers.

I got scared as f**k and started panicking (since this is the only phone I have) and tried all the tricks that were supposed to help get the screen back on. None of them worked.

Searched Google, went to open a new thread in xda in the Moto g Q &A section, and almost posted it, when suddenly I had an idea.

I told my sis to call me, I heard the ring, but I could barely see the screen, swiped down 2 times, and took a guess and moved my finger to the right just below the screen. Voila! The screen was back to Normal!

This is a major bug in Lollipop 5.0.2 and I sure hope Moto fixes this in an update. I don't care if they update the phone to 5.1 or not, just fix the damn screen flickering and black screen bugs!

If any of you have an issue like this, the best method is to call your phone with someone else's, swipe down twice, and readjust the brightness. It worked for me (I had a security password on my phone).

Good luck guys and I sure do hope Motorola fixes these issue's!

Sound durng encrypted login

Hello All,

I'm having two issues, but I think only one is fixable at this point. I have a Galaxy S6 with Droid 5.0.2. The encrypted login is setup for work. Is there a way to turn the sound off for when the phone boots? I've turned it down while logged into my phone before turning it off, but that didn't work. I also tried turning it down before going through the encrypted login, but that didn't work either.

The second problem makes the first problem a bigger deal. My phone turns off and occasionally reboots on its own for no reason. Consequently, the Samsung music comes on at full volume every time it reboots. It has happened while I'm sleeping, in meetings, etc. I took the phone to Verizon and they ran some new diagnostic software. They didn't know what the problem was, but thought it might be that the phone is "threatened" by the access granted to an app. Supposedly Samsung/Droid is working on a fix.

Any thoughts on either issue? Thank you.
