[General Questions and Answers] kanjigirl:
So last night I wiped the phone and flashed the latest CM 11 (from yesterday) and the Pico package from PA-GApps. The phone is now super-fast again. I restored a few key apps to try out for the next day or so before restoring the rest, but so far so good, everything is back to normal. Thank you so much for the help.
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
Sounds great ;)
[General Questions and Answers] kanjigirl:
Quick question - if this thread is still open. The phone's been fine since I flashed CM 11 and Pico GApps, until this morning, when it now does 'Android is Upgrading' every time I boot and every user app crashes as soon as it's opened. I have all auto-syncs and auto-updates disabled, and haven't added any user apps to the phone since Wednesday.

Do I need to flash again, and then have to go through the restore process all over? Or could it be an app causing this? I'm not sure where to look for a source of the problem.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maryusz84:
Good day,

I would like and need some help in recovery of data after a wipe from my Google Nexus 7 Mobile 32gb

Android was updated to 5.0 but became laggy and i decided to wipe data/factory reset.

now i realized i didnt saved everything on it. so it would be nice to get my data back if possible.

Then another one is to get my tablet up and running again.

Now when it starts up i get stuck at Checking connection page.

My tablet was never rooted and usb debugging was off i think.

i have no software/ tools etc installed and no skill in installing roms , so a detailed how to do will be really appreciated ( or a link )

Thanks and regards
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] seave:
New update received today. Anybody know what it specifically fixes? The Verizon link was very vague.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] rajuabju:
I can also confirm this is out as I was just prompted to download & install

It's about a 36MB download.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] HOFFABALBOA:
Update

It looks like just Tap N Pay was added. other than that I don't see much. Sure is not Lollipop.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] skatanic85:
Enhancements Doc

This is from the official Verizon document...

THE FOLLOWING ENHANCEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE:

• Fixes for low call volume issues

• Email application fixes

• DROID Command Center Widget update Fixes to reflect up to date weather

I received the update around 1:00 PM EST.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] golgothagecko:
Only a 35mb file. Can't be much.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Jhall8:
Thanks for these details! I received the update about an hour ago.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ikm19:
I guess it fixed that annoying location found bug. So far havent seen that popup once.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] wadamean:
What the heck? I have noticed better performance too and also data and WiFi reception has gotten better too.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Razorbacktrack5535:
View attachment 3180585
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
I have.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] GreaterLesser:
So far for me reception has been overall better and also VoLTE seems to be.........working like initially intended. I'm wondering though if they changed anything that might impact battery life in anyway.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] theycallmerayj:
Wifi significantly improved on my turbo.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] cadenmiller60:
Has anyone else noticed that the KitKat easter egg in settings changed to an "S" in this update?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Jhall8:
Yes, same on my Turbo
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] FuzzieKiwi:
Same..

Maybe the S means..

Lollipop SOON?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] cadenmiller60:
Lol! I hope so! I think it has something to do with the build number? Didn't the build number change with this new update? Not sure thou.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Razorbacktrack5535:
I think that means "soak" and they forgot to change it
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
No because they won't recompile after soak.

If they did, it would break all hash checks for soakers and they would never be able to get another ota.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ikm19:
It does show that location found but instead of staying in notification center it goes away.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
Mine showed up there too though and long enough that I was able to long press it and choose app info.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] rajuabju:
my wifi is also doing better.

From my office to where the router is located, I usually had 2 bars before. Now its 3-4.

running wifi analyzer also confirms a much better signal, and i'm seeing some networks I had never seen before in the area.

not bad!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] trikotret:
I noticed my front facing camera lags. Anyone else?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ruledrbrt1:
I have not taken the update yet but that has always happened depending on how much lighting is around you, unless it has gotten much worse with the update, which I don't think is possible because it is already pretty bad.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] amalkawia:
Low volume

Did anybody notice the call volume is lower than before?! Even on the speaker it seems lower.. I thought this was supposed to fix low volume issues! I hope I'm imagining this. :confused:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] zathus:
It looks like on my phone the audio f_x got turned back on by default. Could that be your issue?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] IAreFlugruger:
Same here. It's not much quieter but it definitely is not louder
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] my2cents:
I don't see the audio effects option in sound settings anymore. Did it move to a new location, or am I dumb? It seems to me that the new update removed that option... :confused:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] GolfOX:
Look again. It is still there.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] livinitwarrior:
aka, this was the lamest of all lame updates ever.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] zathus:
It's definitely louder to me. The call volume vibrates the phone now lol
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pjsockett:
I took the update yesterday and last night I noticed some new lights on the phone that I have never seen before. When the screen is off completely, including active display, there are 3 red led light. There is one in the top left corner, bottom right corner and bottom left corner of the screen. Is this something new or have I just never noticed it before? The slowly pulse on and off and then stay off once active display is toggled.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Gundabolu SC:
If u can see them u must have supernatural powers! :D :D

They are IR LEDs they are not visible to the Naked eye but a camera can spot them... They were always there and functional... they were responsible for that waving gesture stuff! :)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] joeriv5692:
I also recieved this yesterday about noon central time. I have noticed that wifi is a whole lot better. I used to get about half the wifi icon when i was in upstairs bedroom and now i get full signal. i havent tried any calls yet to see if the volume has improved.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mobilehavoc:
Performance is much better. Seems like a new kernel but almost like they changed the governor. Seems to run much smoother. Not just because the reboot either. Not bad at all
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] J0ker 82:
I noticed these lights even before this last update. These are the proximity sensors for the waving gesture functions. If you disable the hand waving function to wake up the display you will see these no more (i did it and and my battery life increased).

I think that these red lights turned on....are some kind of bug.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
Nope. These type of sensors emit low levels of red light and is not unique to this phone. It is not a bug.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] J0ker 82:
I know but it happened to me as well. These sensors were "turned on" showing red light.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
I just said, they do that.

Different light levels and conditions make them visible to the naked eye. I too have seen mine. I also have one these sensors on my laptop, and it too, emits red light.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mw3kgt:
Same

-Wifi is the same for me

-Command center weather still needs to be manually updated.

Differences.

-boot screen is now different

-call volume way louder but crackly

-new camera options while in call
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Wynnded:
Anyone else notice a drop in the volume of the Google Keyboard? I've tried adjusting it up and can barely heard it at its maximum. I checked my other sounds and they seem to be okay.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] lukesdiesel:
I see the red lights after the update.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Fugitive87:
I agree, it is not new with the update because I have seen them before in a dark room. Its the attentive display, so when you wave your hand or pick it up it will turn the screen on.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] GreaterLesser:
All there "hands free" features and controls. Sounds like the beginning of SkyNet to me.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] dbornack:
I've always seen them.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Gundabolu SC:
I swear to god I have never seen them off camera!! I am partially color blind, so jot sure if that has to do anything with it but I am almost 99% sure you are not meant to see it....

Anyways a little research shows, Infra Red(IR) has a frequency range of 700nm to 1mm... You see there is a very specific frequencies of light that our eye can perceive which ranges from 300nm to 700nm... So the IR LEDs used must fall very close to the visible range of light, they basically work like any other radar, the IR starts emitting light continuoualy or in pulses and once u put ur hand close enough above it light is reflected back to the sensor and your hand is detected! :)

Can you guys even see the light at the ends of your old TV remotes? :eek:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Wynnded:
Humans can see slightly into the infrared spectrum. :cyclops: I don't think that any types of colorblindness affect that. Many animals that do not see in color see further into the infrared than humans. http://www.sci-news.com/biology/science-humans-can-see-infrared-light-02313.html
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] activeservo:
Is it just me but now the Verizon logo is in the boot up animation. I don't remember it being there before.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Wynnded:
I've only ever seen the boot up animation once, so I couldn't say. :o
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pandimus:
Me also... I know that's new
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kyleds:
I checked before updating. The Verizon before the droid on boot up was there before too.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] subvertz:
This update fixed my connection issues in Norway! (Before the setupwizard app that gives the "SIMcard is not from Verizon error was preventing connecting to any network, after a Tech support advised factory reset)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Gunthermic:
Someone with the new update, pull the CommanCenter.apk and Lib files for me. See the diff between them both, plus be able to post them.

The IR lights have always been there, but maybe they adjusted them on this OTA so some of you are seeing them easier.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mw3kgt:
For me where it says "droid" used to be a dark screen, maybe black with white lettering. Now it is a light blue color background with white lettering.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] darkace:
Is anyone else having troubles sending/receiving texts after the update?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
They would be patch files and you wouldn't find a difference without integrating them. If you want them pulled directly from the rom, give them instructions on how to do it without root. I'm not in a location to look up the exact file names for an adb pull.

Edit: I'll provide instructions for a general dump.

adb pull /system/
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Gunthermic:
Ugg that's right, I wasn't thinking.. Derp.. Thanx adrynalyne
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
They can just dump the entire system. Apologies if I came off grumpy. I worked 16 hour shift yesterday :/
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kyleds:
Anyone elses phone more laggy with update?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] joeriv5692:
I've noticed more lag since the update
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] the_rooter:
my best bet if again people who see problems with an update didnt do a FDR before posting
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
I didn't either, but Ive seen no performance changes. I have't wiped this phone since early December, and that was only because I was playing with encryption.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] the_rooter:
I saw alittle lag on mine when i took the update. completed an FDR and works wonders.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] omniatic:
Don't notice any lag here. Haven't done a reset, haven't seen a reason to.

I'm guessing that some are just looking for a reason to complain.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kyleds:
I guess it also depends on if you're running dalvik or art too. But dalvik was definitely running way slower for me. Opening apps were taking twice as long at least. I switched over to art this morning, we'll see how it is.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] the_rooter:
art doesnt play well with kitkat
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] johnwaug:
Never reset device since release. Taken all updates. I have never seen lag. I have used dalvik the entire time. Update for sure affected Wi-Fi and data bars. Haven't tested or seen fast connection on either. Camera seems the same.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
Twice as long? Its already near instant, with ART they will be twice as fast as instant?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] PerCompLLC:
"Twice as fast as instant"!!! Love it! LOL!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Resn8:
The update mysterious wiped out my IMEI rendering the phone useless. Motorola shipped me a replacement. I applied update and my advance calling no longer allows simultaneous data/voice. Motorola is scrambling for a fix. Anyone else have any issues with this patch?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kyleds:
taking between 5-10 seconds to go back to home screen after pressing the home button is instant for you?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
Your phone has serious issues.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] upther:
Yeah, either something is up with your phone or you're just being overly dramatic. I've taken all updates and never done a factory reset, and my phone is just as quick and snappy as it ever was.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] smokie11:
Phone was working perfectly before update, it continues to work perfectly. Update did nothing that I can see or hear therefore it did nothing.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Wynnded:
Prior to this update I hadn't even restarted my phone since I bought it in December. It had an uptime of something like 1500 hours. I didn't even know what the boot animation looked like. The only thing that is wonky for me after the update is that Google's keyboard sound disappears. I haven't had the time til now to look into it, I'll likely uninstall/reinstall for starters. Other than that, I've had no issues. I really like this device.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kyleds:
Art and doing clear cache partition in recovery helped a lot. Phone still auto dims/brightens even with auto brightness not checked though ?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
Art is garbage on this phone.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] GreaterLesser:
Is that a new standard for benchmarking?! Droid Turbo: "Your apps will open twice as fast as instant" - Worst and most misguiding slogan anyone could use. Always good for a laugh though
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] cadenmiller60:
Art on the droid turbo? I didn't think you could use art on this phone since it's still running KitKat.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
I assume you have never ventured into developer settings ;)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kyleds:
It works, only thing that sucks is if you reboot your phone it optimizes all your installed apps every time... which could take a while depending on how many apps you have.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] wadamean:
That's very true but i barely turn off my phone hence why i don't have that issue. I have been using art mode for a month in a half already and wow the battery life and overall the smoothness and speed has greatly improved.

Location Issue

I live in California and every so often my phone is reporting the location as Atlanta, Georgia. I didn't see this before the update. I tried disabling the Verizon location services as I read it could have problems but it keeps happening. I have a T-mobile sim but I don't see how that's related. Anyone know how to fix this?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] this_is_nascar:
For you guys "seeing" better WiFi performance, can you tell if you're actually achieving better reception from the radio or are you basing your "better performance" solely on the WiFi meter/indicator being lit-up higher?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] hotrodwinston:
Just to add to that thought - Linux V4 was just pushed - the version that t800 ran was a point release off V4.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] donsmith1964:
I ignore the built in indicator. The change log did not mention WiFi specifically but I do see improvements. SignalCheck light shows I have a better signal. I haven't had any dropped signals so far.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] activeservo:
After disabling the Verizon location service I turned off GPS, rebooted and turned it back on. It seems it has fixed itself now.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] hotrodwinston:
Has anyone tried using the debloater tool to disable the "GPS notifier" app to get rid of that "location found" bug?

http://xdaforums.com/andr...bloat-t2998294
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] GreaterLesser:
It's not a bug. Also don't know how it will affect the functionality of the actual GPS. I know it says "GPS Notifier" but you never know what else it ties into to or what relies on that app. Just an warning not saying that disabling the app would cause WWIII. By all means if you are curious, disable the app and report back your results. :)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] hotrodwinston:
That's the reason I was asking lol - wanted to know if anybody else had tried and what the results were being I would not have access to a PC to re-enable quickly if it causes issues.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] GreaterLesser:
I suppose I'll try it when I get some time later tonight
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] activeservo:
I thought I had fixed the location issue but my phone keeps putting me in Atlanta even though I live in Los Angeles, CA. I opened Google maps and it had me in Atlanta. then it started pinging for a location and moved me back to California. Anyone have any ideas?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] GreaterLesser:
Do you have VPN on? Are you on a different carrier than Verizon? Is your phone's GPS set to "High Accuracy"?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] activeservo:
I don't have VPN. I have a T-Mobile Sim and the phone's GPS is set to high accuracy at all times and WIFI is enabled. This is bugging the crap out of me.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] GreaterLesser:
I've seen this on my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3. I used a T-Mobile SIM and for some reason my phone GPS reported some other city and state than Chicago. I looked up the city on T-Mobile's site and seems that the GPS was homing in on the T-Mobile office/Service Center in that city. I don't know if this is the same issue you are having but it reminds me of that bizzare issue.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
A coworker has Tmo and has problems with GPS on his Note 3 placing him on the other side of the country.

Looks like a Tmo issue.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] GreaterLesser:
Do you know if it placed him in Atlanta?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
I believe it did, yes.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] GreaterLesser:
It might be the exact same issue as mine was on my S3 and activeservo's on his DT. Seems they have a corporate office in Atlanta, GA. Why the GPS homes in there is anyone's guess.

https://foursquare.com/v/tmobile-usa/4c348df916adc928b84bc59c
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] activeservo:
Thank for the replies guys. I don't remember this happening before the updated but it is bizarre.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] hotrodwinston:
The weird location can also happen if you are connected to a new tower that hasn't been fully programmed yet. I know when Verizon started upgrading the network in my area my phone would sometimes put me in Miami FL when I live in Louisiana. It was fixed later (took about a month).
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] GreaterLesser:
That's always an option. Good call. Why they would put a tower in service without fully programing it sounds idiotic but its not my company.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark_1:
Is it possibile that there isn't an app to convert the output of the N5 from stereo to mono?

I know that Poweramp does the trick but I want to have a mono output with spotify and Play Music.

Is there something in the store? I tried a lot of DSP manager but I coudn't find one who does the job.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zerosum0:
Thought the official lollipop had That in it for pple with handicaps or whatever the political correct term is
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben36:
I'm confused, where is the output going that you want mono?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark_1:
Unfortunately no..

The system audio. I want to listen my music through spotify or play music but in mono, not stereo. Of course if I have the album on my N5 with poweramp I can listen in mono, but with the other apps (also youtube, for example) it's impossible.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ej8989:
I've tried searching everywhere but it seems the best solution is to buy a stereo to mono plug adapter (less than $5 on ebay).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhyscoAssassinx:
Of you don't mind me asking why are you going from stereo to mono?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chdloc:
Not an app, but if you are rooted you can edit your /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml file to "permanently" force all audio that is routed through

the headphone jack to be played in mono. Tell me what exactly you want, i.e. left audio channel on left headphone channel only, right audio channel on right headphone channel only, left audio channel mapped to left and right on headphone, right audio channel mapped to left and right headphone, or a mono mix on both headphone channels, and I can help you get set up.
