[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] jidcman:
I posted this on the general section, I'm not sure I'll get too many responses there.

"Hello, Motorola is offering me to choose between the Moto X 2014 and the Droid Turbo as a replacement for my Moto X 2013 that has once again, developed the known hairline cracks on sides of back panel.

I want to go with the turbo due to specs and battery, but I'm reading about many people having cracked screens without valid reasons, like the screen doesn't sit right and it cracks easily.

The only downside to this offer from motorola, is that they are not going to provide me a bootloader unlock code for either option...

I tried to have them offer me the Nexus 6 but they said that option is not available...

What would you choose?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] kitcostantino:
Is the phone you have a Developer Edition? if so, tell them Nexus or bust. Are you still at the phase of support where you deal with people in countries that English is not the predominant language in? If so, you are going to get HORRIBLE support. I am not speculating at all. My Dev Maxx (bought from Moto directly) was replaced with a Turbo. It only took 2.5 months and hours of time. The reality is, Moto has the worst support out there. There is one small section of support that is worthwhile, (pm me and i will put you in touch with them), but pretty much anything online (and yes, even the couple of stiffs they have poking around XDA) will be rude, are not knowledgeable, and ultimately are a waste of a salary and your time. Motorola has some of the best hardware to be had in the smartphone world, but fails on simple things like bootloader unlock, sd card support, and specifically on the Turbo, speaker quality. The battery is a good 24 hours or so in real use, and the display is great, but these are the only features of the Turbo that are worthwhile. Sad, but true. They cannot make you accept a phone that is not identical to what you have. I had one lady get rude and tell me since the Turbo was an upgrade over the Maxx, and the Maxx was not available, it didn't make sense. This was after I explained it was not capable of bootloader unlock and that is why a "developer edition" is different. I can't blame the people, really. I can say the company should be seeing in sales, right about now, how horrible locking down their phones really is. My guess? worst sales of any Droid phone yet. Personally, I figured it would be unlocked. Totally kicking myself for returning the N6 (att) they sent me.

Ultimately, don't buy that "unavailable" bull. Grab a cheapo phone and wait it out. The longer it takes them, the more frantic they get to "resolve" your issue, even if there is no real resolution possible. Pm me, seriously, one phone call can connect you to the good people that actually a) speak android b) aren't like taking to robots. ;)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] jidcman:
Sent you a pm, thanks a lot!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Semseddin:
Well, that is your personal opinion. Here are mine ;

Display on Turbo is consistent and there are not pink or yellow spots in the corners as well as defected lines going under all the way visible in sunlight.

Battery, no questions turbo pawns every phone here.

Call quality and reception. Not sure how that is true when there are several people complaining of signal strenght issues with their S6 and not a single person complaining about signal strength with their turbo. Both GSM and CDMA users. Wifi strength i never had a problem with it.

Camera, s6 is miles better. no questions there. However turbo camera is not **** either.

Touchwiz on s6 is faster than the stock Turbo ? Nice joke. 300mb free ram out of 3gb with touchwiz and people have to use task killers to operate daily stuff wih their s6. lol .

You might be happy with your S6 or S6 Edge. Good for you, man. 2015 is the worst year for android flagships in general. Everyphone has its issues. HTC M9 and M9+, LG G-Flex2 and G4 and Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge are all flops. I am glad i went with the Moto Maxx / Turbo. If i had to go with a samsung it would only be the snapdragon variant of Note 4 N910F, nothing else. :good:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] zathus:
And that's your opinion too. The difference between the two? My opinion seems to be pretty consistent with everyone else. And yours is a diamond in the rough. The galaxy s6 has been called the best Android phone ever made buy tons of reviewers. The Droid turbo was called the best droid phone ever made. and a pretty good phone overall. I'm happy you're happy with it. And I'm happy I'm happy with it. If someone were to ask me which one to get, it's always going to be the s6 over the turbo.

Any other flagship phone is a completely different topic. The only real flop though this year I saw was the HTC One. Every smartphone every single year has its little issues. I wouldn't define that as a flop.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Semseddin:
Those reviewers who highly praised the s6 are not quite respectable when we can read tons of negative customer feedbacks floating around about the phone while those reviewers never mentioned what real users reported.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3124664

I dont think s6 display can never be more consistent than turbo display as we can not see the body frame of our phones just looking at the screen. Never Mention the free ram either. High antutu scores doesnt mean anything in day to day usage. Ufs and ddr4 doesnt help s6,too.

Btw, you mentioned wifi issues of turbo, here is s6 edge users mentioning their wifi issues. Paid reviewers didnt report these either.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3079504

And lastly people complaining of signal issues, not one but many. One even compare it with good old moto g, slapping s6 edge signal strength.

I tried to port my Sprint # over to my new Cingular/AT&T phones, and got a call from them telling me they can't do it because my Sprint phones are in FL, and I'm now it VA. I was further informed that if I (or anyone) move out of their "market" (another state) then they are required to change their phone #, being they will be more than 50% out of their area/market. WTF!?!?!?! Has ANYONE heard this? None of the poeple in the Cingular stores know about this, and we all know people here with different area codes, and nobody I know of had to change their #s!!!

Anyone?!?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] melvinrubio:
AT&T can port your number over to Cingular wireless now the new AT&T even if your number is from another state. The problems occurs when you try to combine a Houston TX number with a Florida number on a family plan this cannot be done as of yet. 50% out of your area is true to an extent if you are in an area that is not covered with AT&T cell towers but you can still receive service you may be using our roaming partners. You won’t know who’s network your using but in some rare instances your house for example may not be covered with AT&T cell tower and you keep using the roaming partners cell AT&T can shut down your number with notices that is.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] JoshRH:
I absolutely love Textra and have grown quite attached to the interface and the pop-up notifications that are built in. I do however have one issue that I cannot seem to crack.

With pop up notifications enabled for both screen on and screen off I get the nice built textra pop-up window for both. This works fantastic with the screen on but with the screen off I receive both the textra pop-up and the system notification (default that links to textra). The only way I have been able to alevoage this is to shut off the textra notifications on the lock screen. This leaves me stuck with the more limited default pop-up. What I would like to be able to do is shut off the system notifications instead of textra.

I have always already blocked all "messages " (stock app) notifications and frozen the app.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] elliwigy:
theres a Q and A section
[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] erasat:
On Textra settings check that you have both Notifications for Locked and Unlocked on with your preferred option, then go to Sounds and Notifications in the Phone Settings and go to App Notifications look for Textra and turn on the Block Notifications option, it will do what you want I have it exactly that way and it works great.
[Verizon LG G3] sentry_mode_activated:
So I didn't think it would work, but apparently it does on the G3! I've only tested it with AOSP (CM 12.1) though. Also there were a few FCs before it started working, and OK Google doesn't seem to work. But hey, Android M GNL!

Hi

Just got the Moto 360 and heard that the newest update 5.0.2 have WiFi, but I can't seem to find it. I have tried searching, but without succes.

Can anyone tell me where I can enable it?

Thanks in advance
[Moto 360] mazz0310:
The newest update is 5.1.1. That is the update that will enable the WiFi chip but unfortunately it has not yet been pushed to us.

It should come in the coming days/weeks so just need a little more patience.

This is nice!! I would like to be able to long hold on the window to move it.
[Nexus 6  General] md1008:
Something tells me that multi window didn't get mentioned because I don't Think multiwindow will be ready by the final release. It will most likely be in developer settings. Although nice to have is not as functional as Touchwiz. For instance I can't really watch YouTube and use hangouts. Sure I can but as soon as I responded the video paused as soon as the keyboard popped up. I hope when it is release in prime time even away from development settings would be to minimize windows. Back to youtube, if I were on Facebook and wanted to listen to a YouTube video I can minimize the window barely taking any screen real estate and continue doing what I was doing.
[Nexus 6  General] FallN:
You mean Picture-in-Picture (PiP)?
[Nexus 6  General] housry23:
Thanks man! Got it enabled. Pretty cool. Hopefully they get this working properly by the time M releases, but I highly doubt it. With a screen the size of the N6, this should have been done in L, but it is what it is.
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
and its still rather buggy at this point.
[Nexus 6  General] housry23:
Yes it is. I'm glad they are developing it though. As our phones get bigger and bigger, it just makes sense. If they truly want tablets to take the place of laptops, this is the right direction. It's extremely buggy though. I thought scrolling inside each of the 2 apps was smooth, but as soon as you try to switch apps in either screen, it gets really buggy.
[Nexus 6  General] MinMin2021:
I know this is a somewhat old thread but I just attempted to flash this through multirom and seem to be in a boot loop now. Know how I can fix it?
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
i dont think preview 3 was multieom compatible, i might be wrong though. to flash m without multirom, you need to flash the m bootloader first, but on multirom i dont know..

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pesta01694:
hello everyone! I have been reading this forum for long but now I finally registered :D

just replaced my HTC one battery, I have just reassembled the whole phone except for the cover which is still off (it is an hell of a job to take it off so I wanted to make sure everything worked first), and there it is! the camera app does not launch, as soon as I tap the camera app it says the app has been force closed.

I just made a factory reset (longshot but still tried) and it did not work.

I am on ViperOne 8 with kangaroo kernel but it worked great before I disassembled the phone (so I doubt that's the issue).

my guess is that I touched/disconnected something that I wasn't meant to, what could it be?

everything else seems to be working fine, except for radios which I haven't checked at the moment.

thank you very much for your help!

EDIT: tried alternative camera apps, still not working

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirKunon:
There is no such thing as hard-coded IMEI number. What are you talking about? IMEI is encrypted in nvdata and it has it's backup in nvdata.bak. If the main file is corrupted flashing stock rom using Kies initialization option sometimes restores correct number from backup of nvdata. But usually playing with Odin's efs clear option ends with service 0049... IMEI number. Especially if backup of nvdata was also messed up.

You can use device Samsung serial number to obtain stock rom which was factory preinstalled on your device. That's all. It will not rebuild original IMEI.

BTW all device independent informations like WiFi / Bluetooth Mac address, serial and IMEI are softcoded. I'm not sure about hardware revision but suppose it is also programmed.

If efs folder is broken and you don't have backup all you can do is to build and encrypt new nvdata by Box and generate new, correct md5 signature. And it is good idea to have newest stock rom with efs2 modem structure when you wish to use Box rebuilding.

[MENTION=4115374]SirKunon[/MENTION] Yes, I understand what you are saying....BUT the ODIN Phone EFS Clear option is safe if your hardware and EFS partition is not corrupted! I use this ALL the time! And have 1% of Devices experience an Issue! This instructs the device to rebuild the NVRAM, from the device backup.

And his issue is that gis modem board is not even registering to the device! There is a screenshot to illustrate this! The OLD way of thinking is not congruent to using NEW firmware and flash methods! I have proven this on over 50 devices on multiple forums

ALSO....the device NOW has the most current version of his Firmware
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirKunon:
Modem board field in PHONE Info often does not provide any information. This doesn't mean hardware problem. Not registering in network issue is due to invalid or empty Samsung device serial number. This pop-up on home screen is factory mode state and it is generated by incorrect (empty) efs partition data (efs/FactoryApp/keystr is set to OFF].

Only full efs rebuild via Box will help.

Hello,

Then i found another post to get the phone back to normal but the sbf file i got was of Motorola electrify. I installed that SBF and phone works fine with local GSM networks but it battery drains very fast and phone get heat up if 3g or wifi is used.

I tried installing Sprint SBF that i found from interent but after installing that SBF, Local GSM no longer works on the phone.

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MGREX:
Hey guys, so I'm seriously considering this phone atm but I'm worried about the x86 processor. Last time I checked (granted it was a while ago) x86 support on android wasn't that good, many apps were not optimized so they ran considerably slower on atom SoCs than in ARM, and a few didn't run at all and crashed.

How is the app experience with the ZF2? has anyone noticed ANY slowdowns/crashes and such problems at all?

Thanks
