[Moto Maxx General] Semseddin:
As the title says, i wonder if we have a dev who would take the burden of delievering the Moto Maxx community, a stock based custom rom. I mean something deoexed,zipaligned, optimized, debloated, improved here and there the motorola's system for the best and comfortable daily usage.

Thank you and regards.

I am really sorry about that.

I was searching everywhere and i coudnt find it so i desided to post a quaetion..and then couple hours later i finally found all the info about unlocking the phone...but i couldnt delete this msg...

Thank you though for your reply.

that seems like a waste to me since t-mobile has no HSDPA. might as well have got the wing
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Glyutlin:
The phone was a present.....

I actually now have another problem..i dont know if i hould post it separatly somewhere...

I tried to change setting so MMS would work and i used the cab file i found on wiki link...I am just not sure if i am donig everything i need to do to make it work. I just trasfered that cab file to my phone and installed it...took approximatly couple seconds and my MMS still not working......

I would be very greatfull for any help....

Thank you

T-mobile offers HSDPA here and is starting to offer HSDPA in the UK soon
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] lunchboxrts:
I had the same problem with the 8525 using the stock ATT ROM and MMS. The only way i could make it work was to use a cooked rom(which you will like better anyways IMO). Make sure if you flash ur phone to use HardSPL to keep from bricking ur phone.

Here is a link to a good howto for flashing: http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/

Also if your going to flash it then you will need the keyboard layout fix here
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Lordsmiff:
We've already got HSDPA, thankyouverymuch ;-)

What ROM are you running on the 8525? Have you upgraded it to WM6 or is still running the pre-installed cingular WM5 one?

Smiffy.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Malik05:
umm and just forget the fact that it has 200mhz...vs. a 8525 a 400mhz...not the smartest comment lol
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Glyutlin:
I have no idea. I am still trying to learn how to access all the features.

I had Nokia 9500 before that and this phone is slightly different.

WM and ROM info should appear when i am restarting the device?

I am pretty sure i had WM5,but i am not sure....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Lordsmiff:
Just go into Start --> Settings --> System --> About and that will tell you what OS it is running :)

hey guys i just have simple question ....i want to manually install the update OTA sense 6 comming from 4.3 sense 5 3.17.502 htc m7 att

can i install it? or i have to upgrade it to something else first like sense 5.5

thank you verrryy much
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
OTA updates must be installed incrementally (you can't skip a version).

Flashing an OTA update manually also requires S-OFF, otherwise it must be done normally from Settings --> About --> Software info --> Check for updates.

If you are not using an AT&T sim card, you will not receive any OTA updates and you should either achieve s-off to flash the ota update manually or convert to another version that will not require an at&t sim card.

If you don't want s-off then you can update your phone using the latest at&t RUU.

Hi,

I have received new zenfone 2 and it asked for software upgrade. After that it said it is optimizing applications and eventually got into reset loop with only showing ASUS logo. I have tried to get into recovery mode pressing the power and volume up and release on vibrate... nothing happend!!!

Now it vibrates every minute or so... but it even does not turn the screen on... just vibrating every now and then...

Please, help!

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Power off completely, then hold volume up and power to get to bootloader. Press volume down until you get to recovery and hit power button. It should reset and then a android appears. If it then says error hold power and press up volume. You should get to recovery menu that way.

Wipe cache...

Reboot and see what happens...

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimplyCity:
Hi guys, please help, maybe some of you could do that for me... Problem is strange and I just did not find solution jet... So, I just can not power down my ZE551ML completly. Device is trying somehow to boot up, getting some kind of loop. First of all, phone came to me totaly dead - I have to plug it in to charger for 3-4 hours to ligh up notification led... After that it turned on normally. After first boot and setting things up, updates showed up. So I did update - for 4 times, OTA. It looks ok (now I have 2.20.40.90 clean, I mean no root or unlocked BL). But strange comes when I want to turn it off (power down) - device is shutting down, screean is going black and... bum! - the battery icon is showing up: emty for the very first few seconds, then it changeing to green (showing actually power state, I mean accu capacity), then device reboot itself and whole process starts over and over again... I can not stop it. Well, I think if the battery would be full, that could completly discharge it - couse is unstopable... I found, that when I press vol- when the battery is green, phone shuts off its screen, but after 20 seconds the process begins over again... i can boot it normally by pressing vol+ and power - it leads me to the bootloader manu, then boot normally - done. but it is very annoing... beside that phone is ok. Can someone help? BTW - I did factory reset from stock recovery, but it did not help...

[E 2015 General] Rainshine:
As mentioned, I'm a Nexus 4 owner. My phone has developed hardware problems though, and I'm looking at replacing it -- mainly focusing on the Moto G and E.

I'm not a hardcore phone user; other than communications mostly use it for music (Google, Pandora, Youtube), light reading, occasional surfing in line, and a single non-graphics intensive game. I also use my phone to double as a camera when I'm out walking and something cool comes up though, which is the main reason I'm considering the G over E. Price isn't a huge issue, but I don't see the need to buy some fancy $600 phone for my light use.

All that said, I'm not on a contract, and was wondering about the OS/experience/apps on the E. I've only ever been a Nexus owner, because I wanted to avoid carrier/manufacturer stuff. How easy/feasible is it to get to a version of the latest stock Android OS without any Motorola/etc. stuff on the phone -- essentially, to replicate my basic 4 interface/experience? How far behind are E OS updates behind stock Android updates? Is there any general timeline for how much longer it will continue to be updated?

Thank you for your time.
[E 2015 General] squid2:
I presume you are interested in the LTE model. Moto E updates will probably around 2 months behind Nexus updates. The device has already received the 5.1 update, and I'd expect it to receive the Android M update as well. Beyond that version, I'm not sure how long Motorola will support it, but I'd expect a fairly long support life for this model since the MSM8916 is a new generation SoC. The OS experience is pretty clean and good (provided you don't get a carrier bloatware infested model). The original 5.0 stock ROM was a bit rough around the edges, but the phone is very smooth and great with 5.1 installed. Stock software and CPU wise, it's a good user experience. It has excellent battery life too.

In terms of aftermarket ROMs, the device is still fairly new, but it has a growing development community (myself included). Not everything works perfectly on the custom ROMs right now, but I'd expect things to improve over the next month or two.

The camera will probably disappoint you though. The rear camera is usable in good lighting, but mediocre in indoor lighting. The front facing camera is quite poor (noisy and low resolution).

The second generation Moto G has a better camera than the E LTE, but it has an older and slower CPU. I'd expect the 2nd gen Moto E with its new SoC to continue receiving updates significantly longer than the 2nd gen Moto G. I guess you want to get a device right away since your Nexus has stopped working, but if you can wait a little while, the 3rd gen Moto G will probably be coming out soon.
[E 2015 General] starkly_raving:
Honestly I own a 1st gen Moto G, 2nd Gen Moto X and the 2015 Moto E... I think for your wants and needs and if you do the research your be happier with an X ... All the above mentioned are great devices in their own respects but I found the X at the price point to be an excellent device without and significant compromise. The Moto E with LTE is a decent device with a so so display and a lack luster camera...other than that solid for a entry level phone. The G has a decent display and a better camera but at the price point may as well look for an X on sale ... Just something to think about.

[E 2015 General] SchmidtA99:
The camera on the moto e is a downgrade from the Nexus 4. And it has no flash. I think the biggest thing to take into consideration is the screen size you want. And if you want a stock Android experience with no bloat. You should probably stay with the Nexus line. Since it sounds like 2 nexus phones are coming out this fall.

And is the hardware problem on your phone the battery bulging out the back?
[E 2015 General] Ace42:
I should be picking mine (VZ) up from BB tomorrow or Tuesday. If you still don't have the phone by then I'll compare it to my N4 for you.

I'm coming from a nexus 4 and let me tell you... The battery life killed my interest in my old nexus 4
[E 2015 General] jonathan.alvarez.castillo:
I recently bought a Moto E 2nd Gen LTE. I came from a Galaxy SIII (problem on the bootloader files in another thread). My impressions on the Moto E:

-For the price of AU$240, you get a reasonably fast device, it's not faster than my old S III but it does the job.

-Battery life is impressive, it really is, no kidding. Fo far my personal record is 2 days 10 hours 22 min , by just connecting it when driving using the GPS (2 times a day). Normal use. With a bit more intense use (including Skype for about 15 - 20min ) it last a full day and still some juice in the bank

-I like the lack of bloatware and almost pure android experience. Moto has little add ons

- I don't know how fast Android updates will come up.

-Camera in the other hand ... :rolleyes: ... is not as good. Again I can compare with my S III and it's way behind in colours, sharpness and general performance. ahhhh and it does not have a LED -flash.

Hope this can help in your decision making.
[E 2015 General] bob60626:
Are you up for WP? 640's are going for $80-100. Yes it's not Nexus, and it's not even Android. But I've always been impressed by the cleanliness and purity of WP. Apparently Wal-Mart is selling AT&T 640's for eighty bucks (and AT&T phones can be unlocked without an AT&T account). Just an idea.
[E 2015 General] dirtfarmer7:
My nexus4 died while I was at diner last weekend, so I went to the best buy next door and purchased the 3g/1gb ram version (xt1511) for $80. I'm really happy with it, the battery really is impressive! There is a noticeable lag when opening an app or switching between apps, but once in an app it functions smoothly and quickly. My version doesn't seem to be carrier specific, I think it was labeled as GSM unlocked at best buy. My phone is running stock 5.0.2
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DimaX111:
Hi,

I have stock 5.1.1 rom with hellscore kernel.

The phone never goes into deep sleep. No matter if Wifi is on or off. It is essentially issue #165558 on code.google.com/.

I'd like to either find some kind of a temporary fix or downgrade to the last version without too many bugs. (Never installed a custom rom but that's also an option.)

On Kitkat 4.4.4 I used to get 4.5 SOT and more than 30 hours on average. Now I get 12-14 hours of idle time!!!

Any suggestions?

Thanks

So.. in february i sold my iPhone 5s and was confused what to go for.. So I picked N4 Exynos as i wanted a good performance etc. Unfortunatelt, I am bit disappointed. I got a screen burn, the phone isn't butter-smooth and battery life is terrible. Still, we have not any AOSP/CM so.. no way surviving. I am thinking on what to replace my note with..i am looking at G4 and M9, Z3+ when it eventually goes available in my country... what do you guys think?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Herny123:
Okay as i dont have my own m9, g4 i can't say how they will behave in long term use.

But I have played with the both phones for some times,and I feel that m9 has much better performance, the camera is too good,and most importantly it is a phone with everything packed in a decent size of 5 inch.

If you prefer bigger(5.5 inch) and better screen the g4 is a better option..and I felt that the g4 battery gives you more time with screen on,though it has a better resolution.

And with the Sony,I personally hate Sony..:banghead:

My z3 became a paperweight as its faulty battery burnt the motherboard,and I couldn't claim warranty because of unlocking the bootloader!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Monnq:
The problem is, I didn't have any HTC in the past, and - as I read forums - I can't understand the procedures to mod it. S-OFF's, CIDs, the hell is that :P I have had Xperia neo V back in the times, it was branded phone but somehow it had unlocked bootloader with testpoint method, so I was really lucky :P. Samsung is the easiest phone to mod, I am pretty scared of HTC level of difficultness in terms of modificating. Another thing is Snapdragon 810 which heats up as I heard. The positive is that I hope developers can get most out of it so there will be many custom roms etc
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Tom540:
If you want to root, install ROMs etc. then a Nexus 6 would be your best option, and it has great specs
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Herny123:
Yes I also heard that snapdragon 810 heats up fast..but I think this doesn't effect much on the device,like almost all the phones of Sony z series have overheating issues,but when I talked and discussed about it on the Sony mobile forum,they said that all phone CPU's got something inside to control heating issues,so nothing much to worry..

I had a HTC one before z3,the S-OFF,S-ON was a little bit confusing then,because I was at very early stage of phone modding...if you have used and modified phones deeply before,you can easily learn them ..they are not that much hard from unlocking bootloader or flashing ROMs in a Samsung device!

[Galaxy Note 4 General] absinthesummer:
+1 ...nexus devices are the easiest to mod and the purest Google/Android devices there are. I still have an original nexus 7 running like a champ (aside from the screen being cracked thanks to one of my kids stepping on it lol) but software-wise you can't kill that thing!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Toss3:
Hmm have you tried installing a custom rom + kernel (+ init.d tweaks)? Mine is perfectly smooth now, with some slight stutters here and there when loading a bunch of apps. There are a lot of performance enhancements to be found here that your could try before switching. Personally I'm using Wanam's BOC5 rom with googy_anas's kernel, with the L Speed 2.2 tweaks (removed the VM and RAM tweaks) + fpsunlocker (but instead of setting it to -60 I have set it to -1). The s6 browser is also a lot smoother than the one that comes preinstalled on the Note 4 so do install that as well (found here). I would also recommend turning off location history and uninstalling chrome as chrome tends to use a lot more battery than the stock browser (also try uninstalling facebook + messenger and use the web-apps instead).
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Monnq:
I can live without smoothness, the thing that hurts me is the battery definetely
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Toss3:
Really don't get it as I normally achieve around 7h of screen on time (using the minimum automatic brightness setting). Of course if I use my Gear VR I won't come anywhere close to that. Have you thought about getting an external charger + extra battery? Really convenient as you never need to charge your phone, and switching batteries only takes about 10 seconds. Samsung External Charger
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Monnq:
You can achieve around 7h and when I go to school I can hardly achieve these 4h. The pauses are like 10 min, I usually use LTE, browse internet, read something. Screen is usually set to 50% brightness. The drain is really high. My phone can eat 10% per these 10 minutes.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Toss3:
Have you tried resetting the phone? You've most likely got an app that is not playing ball and using a lot of juice. Try resetting your phone, and using it without any extra apps and see if that helps, and then start installing them one by one.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] toofimoofi:
I'm sadisfied with my Note4. But if samsung drop microsd og swapable battery, Ill go for nexus 6.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Monnq:
I have maximally tweaked my phone now. Installed SweetROM, applied L-Speed init.d modifications, installed googymax kernel. Maybe it's a bit better, can't really tell. One thing that annoys me, whenever I connect to WiFi/LTE, FB Messenger says "Waiting for network". I have to go into settings>force close and re-run to fix this. Any ideas?

ATM i'm considering Nexus 6/LG G4, or wait for Xperia z3+
