So that has been running in the background eating up the phone's resources. Its something related to screen mirrorring. How can I stop it? Greenify donate version cant keep it down. I have not rooted and running 5.1 on Moto X2.

The standby time has improved on 5.1. But the battery drain is too much while using the phone. SOT has reduced from 4.5-5 hours to 3-3.5 hours since the 5.1 update.

P.S. Using this app to get the stats: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.quicinc.trepn﻿

In addition cellular standby also causing significant drains
[X 2014 General] grubber24:
Pretty happy with what i got yesterday. I just greenified com.Qualcomm.atfwd which is related to screen mirroring, which i never use, and the results have been good since then. 4hours SOT and 24hours standby is good.

P.S. on mixed wifi and 3G usage, bluetooth always on paired to Mi Band.

[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
Are you sure its related to only screen mirroring and not related to any other stuff/service? I also see a tinny bit of usage by this activity.
[X 2014 General] grubber24:
I did a bit of research on google and also hibernating has not caused any problems on the phone so far! So i think its safe to hibernate.

[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
Hmmm.... I also searched and results showing its something useless and exists only in Motorola devices. I am wondering why this even exists if its such an useless thing? Nobody seem using this. Ideally it should be killed when we have turned off WiFi display related things like cast screen etc. but seems like its not happening.

Motorola usually boasts battery life in their devices and somehow their devices perform better on battery front compared to similarly specd other devices having same size battery for a longer period of lifecycle. I am wondering why they would include such a battery drainer thing in their phone which is otherwise useless? if they feel it maybe useful for few of their users then they should have given option to disable it for those who don't use it.

I will also observe the effects of it in my phone, if I find its eating up significant amount of resources then I will also disable it.
[X 2014 General] grubber24:
Its only useful if you have a display supporting miracast or use chromecast to cast the screen. Otherwise its completely useless. Even i didnt quite get why its been running in the background when not using.

So we found the smallest amount of bloatware in a motorola phone which needs to go away if you dont use the feature.

I can't seem to find com.Qualcomm.atfwd in the free version of greenified. Is it only in the purchased version? I'm currently getting terrible SOT and massive battery drain on standby. SOT max 2hr 30 mins and my phone went from 85% to 30% when i woke up this morning.
[X 2014 General] grubber24:
Yes. Since its a system app, you will need a donate version to greenify it. Free version is good to hibernate 3rd party apps only.

[X 2014 General] bellick:
Thanks. Purchased it for AUD 2.99

Hopefully it'll solve my battery drain issues. Any suggestions on other apps/system apps to greenify?

When will Google improve the dialer performance? I am yet to come across a single phone where stock dialer offers consistent good performance. I have been using Android since 2.X and now on 5.1 but noticed that dialer is one app which always sucked. :mad:
[X 2014 General] sivarticus85:
Not only that, but ever since 5.0 there's been lag within the Google Messenger app when scrolling through your conversation list, lag when pulling up a contact card by tapping on their photo, and lag when swiping over to Google Now from the main homescreen. The N5 doesn't do any of this, and the overall experience is much smoother, so I wonder what's slowing it down? Is it just me?

Oh and something else I just remembered, is sometimes when swiping up on a notification from Moto Display, the app doesn't open and it just stays on the lock screen.
[X 2014 General] grubber24:
Its the dialer developed by OEMs as google has not yet made its proprietary dialer AOSP! So its the OEM's who need to take care of it and not google.

I love Stock Android on the Moto X 2014 ?
[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
If its by OEM's then why its same across devices which have non-skinned Android versions? OEMs dialers which are usually skinned and differ from Google's version are sometimes smoother.
[X 2014 General] grubber24:
The code must be a little bit different from what google offers on the nexus, right? I dont exactly know about the details but i think google must have developed another dialer for non-nexus devices based on which OEMs have to add their design. So hopefully its corrected in the coming updates.

I love Stock Android on the Moto X 2014 ?
[X 2014 General] nbell13:
It's the AOSP dialer. The dialer on Nexus devices is different, and exclusive to nexus devices.
[X 2014 General] grubber24:
Google just released an update for the clock app through the playstore! I hope it gives the same treatment to the dialer and give us the AOSP one!

I love Stock Android on the Moto X 2014 ?
[X 2014 General] nbell13:
We already have the AOSP dialer installed. We want the Nexus dialer
[X 2014 General] grubber24:
That's the proprietary dialer with the caller id feature only for the nexus devices. If you wish to have it you can root your phone and install that by following the steps mentioned in a post on xda forums.

Just upgraded to 5.1 (retGB).

Is it just me, or the QS signal icons became enormous and ugly again? :eek:

IIRC they also looked dumb on KitKat, but were totally fine on 5.0.

brightness

I have the impression that after updating from 5.0 to 5.1, the display brightnrss is generally higher. Before the update I used to slide brightness back to the lowest possible setting when laying in bed, the screen was pretty dark. After the update the lowest setting seems much higher. I'm using adaptive brightness.

Could this be causing the lower SOT many of us are reporting?
[X 2014 General] rogeriorp:
[MENTION=4352284]sethyx[/MENTION] Yeah, they rolled out to everyone. It's their standard network icons since the 2013 line up globally, if you didn't have them was due to carriers. Only the pure edition has the nexus ones I figure.

[MENTION=1871581]boekenbox9000[/MENTION] That would be to fix the purple tint on lower brightness settings, but it is a shame they had to bump the brightness to fix that.

ear speaker stopped working

Well I updated my Moto X XT1092 to 5.1 yesterday. Since then, the ear speaker has stopped working during both incoming calls and outgoing calls. I can hear everything clearly while on loud speaker, however i can't hear a thing while enabling the ear speaker. The person I am talking to can hear everything though. After the update, i cleaned the device using clean master. I haven't done a factory reset yet and haven't done anything in the recovery either, hoping there is an easier fix to it. Can anybody help me fix it?
[X 2014 General] +Nybras+:
WiFi keeps going, pages on Facebook, Chrome, Hangouts etc. don't work/load even though the WiFi symbol shows I still have signal. I have to turn Flight Mode on and off to get it working again.

My phone signal has become extremely poor too!

Not Happy!

Attentive display is not working in 5.1, 23.16.1 EU-Retin. :(

Never had this issue in 5.0
[X 2014 General] grubber24:
Its working perfectly fine on my phone! Have u tried basic troubleshooting steps?

I love stock android on my Moto X
[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
First of checked after restart thinking that waking up 'atfwd' back may fix it but it didn't.

Now cleared the cache from setting>storage and seems like its working but still not 100% sure.

Even if it starts working, why it stopped working in first place, afterall I am running full stock phone and always format it before and after updating the firmware! Even never had such issues in 5.0.

Looks like those who didn't have issues in 5.0 gonna experience the same in 5.1 :confused:
[X 2014 General] grubber24:
Atfwd has nothing to do with the attentive display. Try uninstalling and reinstalling updates to moto actions. It used to stop working in 5.0 but the update to moto actions fixed that issue. Updating to 5.1 has not caused any issue regarding the same.

[X 2014 General] grubber24:
The biggest thing i am irritated about is the ascending ringtone/notification tone introduced by 5.0 and has not been corrected yet! Motorola calls this a feature to save our ears from blowing up. But IMO its a bug they haven't been able to fix. Can anyone confirm if this is present in nexus devices running 5.1 or up too?

I love stock android on my Moto X
[X 2014 General] rogeriorp:
It happens on Motorola devices only, and by that I mean even the Nexus 6. No idea how it didn't get any major spotlight or even a mention on reviews.

A guy spotted that it would be a driver issue on motorola forums though. No answer from them yet.
[X 2014 General] coolashish:
Few problems in official android 5.1 ota in XT1092 india version with clean install....

1. The display does not go as dim as it was in android 5.0. it strike at night to the eyes.

2. When the phone is locked for 15-20 mins then opening the phone will show that it is using data connection and only after opening the phone it gets connected to WiFi.

3. Battery is draining faster than android 5.0.

Already have tried cleaning data and cache and all.
[X 2014 General] miklosbard:
for 2. check the wifi advanced settings if it's set to always on
[X 2014 General] grubber24:
Yeah i saw that thread too. Motorola says that its a "feature" to protect the user's hearing and won't be correcting it.

I love stock android on my Moto X

---------- Post added at 08:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 PM ----------

1. They tried to correct the purple display problem at low brightness level. This was also the problem in Kitkat. Use twilight app to protect ur eyes.

2. As suggested above, go to wifi advanced settings and you'll see a setting named "keep wifi on during sleep". Select "always"

3. If you are not using the device to for screen mirroring and also not using a smartwatch with it, greenify the process com.Qualcomm.atfwd. This has almost doubled the battery life for me.

I love stock android on my Moto X
[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
I think atfwd has nothing to with the battery, I just allowed it to run couple of days back after keeping it off for few day and battery backup is same for me. Maybe bit more diagnosis is required around atfwd process!

---------- Post added at 08:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ----------

I think Motorola wants the humans spend time with other humans around in the family, atleast in the night so they decided to take off the low brightness features. :rolleyes:

Maybe they seen lot of complains of divorces due to higher usage of MotoaX even in the night time !!! :p :cyclops:
[X 2014 General] grubber24:
Try downloading the app Trepn by Qualcomm: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.quicinc.trepn There is a CPU monitor in it which i used to check the CPU usage by this process. Without any related features being used, this process was using way much CPU power keeping it away. After hibernating ONLY that process my standby time has almost doubled. SOT is almost the same. Besides freezing it has no side effects so there is no harm in trying it if u wish.

I love stock android on my Moto X
[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
Installed and checked, I don't even see the atfed in the list, even i have been keeping eyes in process stats in the dev options also and there also it was showing very little usage.

Here is the screenshot, or i am missing something?
[X 2014 General] grubber24:
I removed the app from the greenify list and restarted the phone. This is the usage for the last 5 mins. Which i consider pretty high.

I love stock android on my Moto X
[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
I checked for more than 10 minutes, even also checked with keeping the screen on but its not crossing more than% in my case. I also checked the CPU freq during idling with screen on and it was 300Mhz.

Check at what freq your CPU is running during idling. Also check why the contact sync is showing that much of usage?
[X 2014 General] grubber24:
This is while the phone was sitting idle. Still its consuming a lot of CPU power at around 10%. I saved a few contacts just before profiling and thats why maybe contacts sync is active. But usually thats well below 1% other time. So i think its better i keep it greenified. Because there is no other way to keep it in check.

[X 2014 General] Mocha_Bean:
I just got the 5.1 update, so my input may not be worth anything, but I haven't had any of those issues yet. I did notice that brightness worked a little differently, though.
[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
Usually CPU runs at freq of 300Mhz during idling so the 6% of 300 doesn't look too much to me, atleast not something which will affect power consumption too much.

When we start using the phone then CPU starts running at much higher clock speeds. That's where most of the power goes apart from screen. And CPU usage by atfwd drops and other processes start toping the chart at that time.

Rest of the time when phone is sleeping, it doesn't have any issues going in the deep sleep no there is no question on standby time.

So i think atfwd is not affecting the battery that much. Maybe you should again compare it by keeping the atfwd on for few battery cycles. :)
[X 2014 General] grubber24:
Sorry forgot to take screenshots of the CPU frequency. At idling it was running at 800-1200 Mhz. Again ran the test after hibernating atfwd, it came down to 300-500 Mhz. There is definately something wrong with that process and my phone. I have checked it after multiple battery cycles but it still has an impact on my phone's standby battery life.

I love stock android on my Moto X
[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
I think you need to look at somewhere else that what's causing atfwd to consume so much resources.

Here cpu usage in last 45 hours with atfwd' on:
[X 2014 General] grubber24:
My CPU has been running (not too much) at all the frequencies possible. This is the deep sleep % with atfwd not hibernated. I will post screenshots with it hibernated and phone in idle for the night so we can compare and investigate. I am still against this atfwd demon keeping CPU awake!

There is a bug in the camera app which i dont know if it was present before in 5.0 or introduced newly in 5.1. If i change the resolution from 9.7 mp to 13 mp of the primary camera, the resoltution of the front camera defaults back to 1.6 mp from full 2.0 mp. I think it should not be the case.

[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
Had this issue initially but it didn't appear after clearing cache, formatting cache partition and resetting attentive display back. Also factory reset is recommended to have least bugs in new firmware.

battery drain in 5.1

After updating to 5.1 retde I noticed increased battery drain.

I did a factory reset + clear cache two days ago but battery drain is still present. It mainly acts up when on mobile data. On WiFi everything seems fine :mad:
[X 2014 General] pro.gangster:
randomly "could not start messenger", existed in 5.0, still available on 5.1 latest (23.16.3)
[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
Have you formatted your device? If not then give it a try first then observe the bugs.
[X 2014 General] flyinion:
I've been having a weird problem since I got the update a few days ago from 5.0. I was rooted, so I flashed the system image from stock 5.0 from Graffixnyc then took the OTA. All seemed well, but the last few days randomly I've gone to unlock the phone and ended up with a black screen.

This is when unlocking by pressing the power button and swiping up. I haven't been using active display recently to unlock so I'm not sure if it will do it through that as well. The phone is not frozen. I can press the power button again to "turn off" the screen then once more and I will see the lock screen again. Just to see what would happen, I wiped left to turn on the camera (set to a 3rd party app) and that launched fine. There were no softkeys at the bottom of the screen though (home, recent apps, etc.).

The only fix seems to be power off and restart. I've cleared the cache from within the Settings/storage screen a couple times but it would still do it. Thinking of trying it through the bootloader/recovery screens. Thoughts? I'm suspecting maybe a problem with Nova launcher but I'm not sure.
[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
I am also using the Nova launcher and haven't faced this issue but using Moto display along with so my unlocking pattern is not exactly like you. First of all format the cache partition from the boot menu and see. Also check if all of your apps are updated.
[X 2014 General] flyinion:
Thanks, I did just go ahead and format it. All apps are as updated as possible right now. It hasn't happened in about 20 hours now, but yesterday afternoon it happened twice in like 10 minutes.
[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
Try to boot in safe mode, if issue doesn't arise in the safe mode during usage then it means any installed app is causing the issue and you can try out by uninstalling apps and one by one to find out which one is causing the issue.
[X 2014 General] flyinion:
Ok, I'll try that if it happens again. Man that's going to be tough to figure out too since it's so random and I have quite a few apps installed. Although usually the only ones running are Nova launcher, default sms app, gmail, sometimes Facebook, and the google now and poweramp widgets along with two of the Beautiful Widgets widgets (4x1 weather and 1x2 date). I wonder if it might be BW causing it. I do have the weather set to refresh on unlock. The whole not having softkeys that time I unlocked to the camera makes me think it's Nova Launcher though. I do know that I never had this happen before the OTA though.
[X 2014 General] linuxbaby03:
Yes, I'm seeing the exact same thing. Did the cache reset fix your issue? I did a full wipe before installing... went all the way down to 4.4 then OTA to 5.0 and OTA to 5.1. I have attentive display turned off, and the display set to sleep after 15 seconds of inactivity.
[X 2014 General] scoliosis:
This happened to me with the Google Now Launcher as well. Though it happened only once and it was partially caused by Clash of Clans. Sometimes after exiting the game, the softkeys and notification bar doesn't show up. If you use the power button to turn off the screen, it causes a black screen after unlocking. The way I get it to show up is essentially start the camera app from the lock screen itself. Then once the camera starts, swipe down from the top and it'll trigger the notification screen to be drawn which then causes the softkeys to be drawn. Good luck!
[X 2014 General] pbkiller:
Wiped the cache and did a factory reset, the phone finally goes to sleep.
[X 2014 General] pbkiller:
Ok... The Moto X is trolling me. After a cache wipe and a factory reset, the phone was going to sleep as it should. I finished installing all of my apps and now the phone doesn't go to sleep again. It has to be a rogue process caused by an app.

Is there a way for me to check the status of an app? What's the best method?

Thanks in advance!
[X 2014 General] flyinion:
Thanks, I'll try that if it happens again. So far so good. With the settings/storage cache clears (yes clears plural) yesterday and formatting cache via recovery today I haven't had any black screen issues since yesterday afternoon.
[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
It may take time to diagnose but try to boot in safe mode, then open apps one by one let them run. The moment it again starts behaving crazy, see which app you last started.

I also had this issue along with few others but clearing and formatting cache and then

resetting up attentive display

seems to have fixed the issue for me. Rather attentive display was also acting crazy in my phone. See if at display working fine in your phone. You can give this process one more try.

If issue again jumps up and you doubt on any of the app then share list of all the apps you are having, I will cross check them with mine apps and let you know name of the apps different in your phone than mine so that you need to diagnose only those limited number of apps apps.

Any solutions to this tyoe of drop? The phone was just lying on the table for a few minutes after some G+ browsing. Never happened before. Hope anyone can help. I have perfirmed a factory reset and a cache wipe after installing 5.1 officially. Also no unusual report by gsam battery monitor

Screen Not Purely White -- I am not talking about yellow tint

I just bought Moto X 2nd gen from Flipkart

Update it to 5.1 and observed on a closer look that screen is not purely white , it has some indefinite patterns (not talking about the Amoled yellow tint) , is this only with me or its normal ?
[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
First try to re-calibrate the battery once again after formatting the cache.

You can try some battery calibration app also like this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&hl=en.

I used to use it on my previous phone but that wasn't on Lollipop so not sure if it will work in Lollipop or not. Also when I flashed custom recovery, there was option of formatting the battery data so later started using that.

You mean if you see a fully white image in fullscreen mode then the screen won't look like fully white rather it will have variation in brightness or colours?
