This works, except in the case of an alarm clock. Can't have it silent everything except alarms without setting everything off priority. I'd like to be able to receive emergency calls at night, which would require me to go to the priority settings every day when I get home and switch them on, followed by the morning routine of turning them off again to get no notification sound/vibration during the day at work.

Maybe Tasker can be used somehow...?

EDIT: SoundHUD appears to do EXACTLY what I need: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greatbytes.soundhud&hl=en

EDIT2: If you have an alarm set, when you change it to Priority or None modes it will give you an option to have it set "Until next alarm". This only shows if you have an alarm set!!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] fredric53:
Kinda of topic, but have you updated your sync software. I was having that same issue before the update,I updated my sync and that problem was remedied by Ford.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] paintba11er89:
The OTA files won't work (they are just update files) - what we need is an actual system dump from someone who has taken the OTA, participated in the soak test, or side-loaded the OTA. Instructions can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/droid-turbo/general/help-help-computerfreek-t3148106
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] bjoostema:
I can't enter into stock recover after updating, so my impression so far is that I'm incredibly annoyed. Is anyone else having this issue? When dead Andy comes up with the red ! after selecting the recovery option. I hold volume up and press the power button like always...but nothing happens. It's driving me nuts. Any input would be welcomed and appreciated!

D'oh! I should have dug deeper before posting! So, if anyone else is reading this and experiencing it, hold the power button and tap vol up. Opposite of before.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] streebs87:
Thanks for that. Didn't even realize that option was there, doh.

I've been using my phone for a solid hour (FB, games, texting, etc) and have only lost 6% battery. Definitely seems a bit better to me.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Jhall8:
New option in Android 5.1: "until next alarm."
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] drexhex:
Wow, that's a lot simpler. I didn't have an alarm set, so I didn't see the option. TIL, thanks! :highfive:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Jhall8:
You're welcome. One more detail: this option displays only when there is an alarm within 12 hours.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] nils39:
I love it. One problem, it says Verizon wireless way too much, twice on unlock screen and in the notification thingy.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Chad_H:
Updated from stock, wiped the partition from the bootloader menu and everything is perfect. Smooth as silk!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] bigmook:
Mine is smooth and snappy, noticeably cooler, and stellar battery life(so far). Ota no fdr
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] matt30:
Anyone noticing the aggressive app closing when you open the running apps menu? Seems like something is bringing down the hammer to close apps when you open it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] PILLMUZIK3600:
Haven't had a problem yet.. Well played moto tool long enough
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] RichSPK:
Nothing drops it's connection to my router except the Turbo. I'm not buying a new router just to see if one device stops having problems.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] koftheworld:
i've found that i needed to setup a static ip on all of my lollipop devices (not including turbo) to have a consistent connection with my home router.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] aklonowski:
I appreciate the overall performance improvement, Turbowas fast before update, now its superfast. Unfortunately the camera hasnt really improved, its still average. Battery life improved, but turbo charging is slower now...

I cant stand the new aesthetics of the lollipop.

The material design is simple but in a bad way... kit kat was more elegant.

All interaction buttons and settings menu seem too small, Even the app list looks worse (non transparent background), not to mention broken clock. (pink??? are u serious?)

So big plus for functionality, but huge minus for design. ( At least I dont have to look at the new lollipop navigation buttons )
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ankurcshah:
Exactly,even my turbo charging is slow!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] GreaterLesser:
Relax I'm not saying you should dump your router - I'm only relating my experience that I had with that router. Do keep in mind though that Turbo support AC band wireless so that would give you a better connection too. Again just relating an experience
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] 666ways2love:
How much slower is it charging? I did OTA last night, and charged it overnight with the phone off. It's going to be a drag if it's slow. I

I like when if I forget to charge it overnight, I can plug it in when I wake up and it's pretty much fully charged by the time I'm out the door for work
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mcdevil58:
I haven't noticed slower charging but my battery life has been awful since the update. If i unplug at 8 am with 100% I have been at 40-35% at 2 pm with only 1.5-2 hours on screen time. Has anyone else had bad battery life?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] maxpower7:
I've noticed the exact opposite. Memory management seems much better after the update, and I'm getting far fewer app reloads.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] SimPup:
Yeah my battery has been a lot worse too. Usually go a day and half without charging now I have to take my charger to work with me
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Coronado is dead:
Those with bad battery: have you cleared the cache or factory reset yet?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] matt30:
It only happens when you open the "Running Apps" menu in setting. It's easy to test. Stay on the screen for a few moments, then navigate back home. The homescreen should redraw.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Munkee915:
Question for those who have done the upgrade. Did they put back the autoconnect option for screen casting (miracast)?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] matt30:
Nope. Looks like it was completely replaced by Chromecast screen casting.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ankurcshah:
i am on the same boat, kitkat had way better battery than this

---------- Post added at 11:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:45 PM ----------

nope. dont want to reset as i dont want to lose my internal memory
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] giant25:
I saw someone say that when docking for wireless charging in L, the phone makes a chime. Anyone notice that or figure out how to silence that?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mad3963:
Same here.

---------- Post added at 02:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 PM ----------

I haven't tried using my wireless charger yet. I'll check this out tonight.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] RichSPK:
Mine definitely chimes when I put it on the charging pad. I haven't looked into silencing it or changing the notification sound.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] giant25:
Thanks for the reply. Not ideal, that will wake up my wife...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] aklonowski:
I did a factory reset, but I had to uncheck something in security options to be able to do that. Battery life seems very improved. However it seems that turbo charging turns off at 50% battery, previously I think It was around 70%?.

Oh I also dislike new notifications and keyboard. Have to use more non stock apps...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] rlmesq:
It's the same gong sound I had on my Bionic before ICS. Fortunately, it seems to recognize my TYLT VU pretty quickly... the Bionic sometimes had trouble getting a stable connection with Qi so it would gong, gong, gong, gong...

Unfortunately, without root, I don't think there's much you can do. If the phone was rooted, you could get a silent MP3 and replace the charging sound with it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] giant25:
Just wondering if silencing notification volume before docking silences the chime. You tried that?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] wingdo:
Way too much white for an AMOLED.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] itanas:
So, anyway to silence wireless charge sound? Make app-drawer background black? Lastly, if anyone knows of what disabled service Ambient Display might rely on that'd be nice as I can't get it working but have disabled some services.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] emgo:
Installed Lollipop last night and only one problem so far. I use record my call to record my calls. It doesn't work now. Says my phone may not support call recording. I tried a couple of other apps but had the same results. Got any suggestions?

Thanks

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] bonzai276:
One thing that was left out of our version of lollipop. .. guest mode or the ability for multi users... my 2nd Gen moto x had this which is a cool option so if someone borrows your phone you put it in guest mode so they cannot access your info or data. .. I hope a minor bug update will add this feature back.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Coronado is dead:
Chromecast streaming works now?!?!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] sonomazr2:
I can't get it to work. It did work with KK.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Steve One:
Works great with local cast.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] sonomazr2:
Ya, it works with chromecast app, not from the notifications drawer.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] matt30:
Oops, yeah it works with my Roku but not the chromecast. So I guess it's still miracast based.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] RichSPK:
Aside from my wifi issues (which existed in kit Kat, too), lollipop is working well for me. I like the built in flashlight app, but I wish I could reconfigure it to work with a long press of the volume rocker. The 'chop' seems like an accident waiting to happen.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] 666ways2love:
Anybody know if there's a way to exclusively have the KK lock screen?

I've noticed that when the screen turns on due to the accelerometer , it uses the KK lock screen. If you turn the screen on via the power button, you get the dinky Lollipop lock screen at the bottom
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mad3963:
It's very subtle, at least on mine, with all volumes set to max.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] gauravahluwalia:
Not sure about 5.1 but I have the Indian moto maxx which came with 5.0.2 and to add guest/multiple accounts you simply pull down the quick setting menu and then tap on your picture/empty avatar on the extreme right.

My battery life has been worse also, especially while the screen is not on. I went from around 90% to 70% overnight while sleeping for about 6 hrs. On kk I would have only lost 2-3%
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Jaocagomez:
do a factory reset and wipe cache on recovery
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pialletti:
Hello everyone. I installed lollipop normal. no no reset wipe .... my better battery life. overnight lost 1% .. before 7 -8% .in find very complex now. hello
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mapmaker1500:
I am having the same problem. Have done several factory resets. Used phone in safe mode for entire day. Verizon trouble shot and determined I need replacement phone. I wanted to hold off for the holiday and try to calibrate it because my phone is in mint condition and I'm going to get a refurbished replacement. However, I am afraid I am going to have to try the replacement because my battery life is very poor. I only hope the replacement does not have the same problem!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mcdevil58:
Mine seems to have settled in somewhat but I still may to a FDR just to see what it is like after a clean install. For example today I have been unplugged for 3 hours and I have 1 hour and 45 minutes of on screen time and my battery is at 75%.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] roofcrash:
Im still on kitkat 4.4.4, not planning to update to llp, and Im getting about 3 to 4.5 hours of screen on times with auto brightness and can go up to 2 days with one full battery charge. If I go 100% brightness, I easily get 1 Day of normal to heavy use and still have about 20% battey. My advice is to stay on kitkat for now.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Tyler2265:
My battery on my turbo has been EXCELLENT since doing the update to lollipop. I unplug my phone around 9 AM and at like 10 PM with relatively heavy usage (Games, email, hotspot) I have around 40-30%. I've had my battery last till like 3 AM before and not once have I been able to run the battery completely dead since the update because I can't stay up that long.

Of course I keep my location, WiFi, and Bluetooth off so maybe that helps. I suspect that many of you use WiFi for internet since most people probably don't have an unlimited data plan, so maybe that's what's causing some of your battery issues.

I also have battery doctor installed so that could be helping me some, although not a whole lot I wouldn't imagine. Maybe give it a try.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] giant25:
Is anyone using Helium to backup app data for things like games before doing an FDR after the lollipop update? I've always just used Titanium with previous phones, but not an option here.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] myke66:
I did this update today, everything seems to be running smoothly except a game I play daily is now running at a slower framerate. Checked the battery settings and power saver wasnt on, any ideas?

edit: Game is Puzzle and Dragons, everything runs smooth in the game except for pop up menus, like long pressing on your name to see your stats.

edit 2: Just tried reinstalling the app and it has not fixed the issue. I really do not want to factory reset, is there a way to clear the cache unrooted?

edit 3: gave in and did a factory reset, LAG IS STILL THERE
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] azrael293:
I don't know if anyone noticed this in the update, but we have an option in developer options for OEM unlock to allow OEM boot loader unlocking.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Mattish13:
You're the first to notice this. Bootloader unlock bounty coming your way.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ntxct:
Based on your edits, you did everything most of us would, and based strictly on what you've said, at this point I'd say its because that game is not optimized for ART. The change from Dalvik to ART impacted a lot of apps. It'd be great if someone said they were on KK and plan on going to LP to install and try the game to duplicate your results... However ultimately even duplicating the results the solution would be to get in touch with the developer of that game and see if they have adjusted for ART.

As always, this is my thought process and there may be someone to come in and say Im completely wrong and hopefully also explain why...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] azrael293:
Haha
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] aviwdoowks:
I think it works on 444. Try it. There is an old thread...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] flametail2518:
Have you tried it to see if it unlocks the bootloader? I'm sitting on the update.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] drtweak:
Anyone on 5.1 tried helium backup yet? If not can someone try it please? Im not rooted and have no real reason to since i have helium. Not as good as TB but it does what i need it to do. This is the only thing keeping me back.

Thanks
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] DagrXDA:
I have the same problem and tried the same steps. [emoji30] the weird thing is it worked fine under jelly bean with art runtime turned on...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] myke66:
Yeah I havent been able to find any way to fix it. It seems to only affect random parts of the app, thankfully the main portion game is unaffected. However, I have noticed some choppiness in other 3d games I play, I feel like overall 5.1 made the turbo slower than it should be given its hardware.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] DagrXDA:
Yeah... Kind of stinks. Pad runs fine on my nexus 10 tablet with 5.1 too BTW... And that is MUCH slower hardware. [emoji4]
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Semseddin:
How much free space do you guys get with 64gb turbo after a fresh install of android 5.1 ?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] my2cents:
Active Display

My active display used to show me highlights of my messages and so forth when I would put my finger on the message. Now it just shows that I have a message, so I can't tell if it is important or not without opening it... Did that change with 5.1? Or am I missing a setting somewhere?

EDIT: I'm dumb. I figured out my problem. The box in the moto app that says "Hide Notification Details" was checked. It's all good.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ankurcshah:
Okay, something is keeping my phone awake a lot, how do I find out what's it ?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] PolishPoet:
Works fine. Far cry from TB. WAY too many apps it can't back up. Waste of money, but it works.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] drtweak:
Oh man thanks a lot man. Was waiting to hear back on this before even thinking about upgrading. And yea it isnt TB but it at least backs up my important stuff
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] rruready:
So I'm considering upgrading from my Galaxy s3 to this phone, and this thread has been helpful for me. At this point, I'm just wondering if any of you would pass on this phone if you could do it over. I realize Verizon could take forever with the next update as they did with this one, but now that you guys have Lollipop, is it a phone worth getting? Thanks.

---------- Post added at 11:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 AM ----------

Oh and one more thing... I assume hotspot needs root to be activated right? Is that possible at this point either on kitkat or L? Thanks.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Oh my goodness -- coming from a Galaxy S3, yes you would love the Droid Turbo XT1254. Your phone is over 3 years old.

Additional LTE bands! and FASTER LTE speeds.

(With the Verizon Galaxy S3 released in 2012, that hardware can only receive LTE band 13. Verizon has expanded to

their LTE network to include other LTE bands since then

-- using LTE bands 2, 4, 13 -- plus implemented faster Cat4 LTE.) The Droid Turbo receives all the current Verizon LTE bands, plus more for good measure.

Higher resolution and much sharper display density (720p vs 1440p; 306 ppi vs 565 ppi)

more speed

more RAM

more battery

splash resistance (piece of mind)

VERIZON Galaxy S3 vs Droid Turbo specs comparison

Even though you are moving from a 4.8" display to 5.2" it won't seem as big a jump because the Droid Turbo has a better body-to-screen (70.76%) vs the Galaxy S3 (65.82%). You hold the PHONE, not the display. ;) (Basically, Samsung could have shaved the bezels some more...)

_______

To get root on Verizon with Droid Turbo you need to start with a Droid Turbo XT1254 that has Kitkat 4.4.4. Do NOT buy a Droid Turbo with STOCK (unrooted) Lollipop 5.1 already installed.

You cannot get root on a Droid Turbo that already has been upgraded to stock 5.1 Lollipop. Find a Verizon store with long-time inventory. They aren't going to open all the boxes and download updates... ;)

From Kitkat 4.4.4 you can get root using MoFo, then flash rooted 5.1 Lollipop images. Many of the rooted Lollipop images in the "Development" section have hotspot activated. Examples:

The U.S. Moto Maxx XT1250 sold by smaller regional CDMA/LTE carriers is IDENTICAL to the Droid Turbo XT1254 (same FCC ID), has unlockable bootloader, can be rooted easily, and will work on Verizon with a Verizon LTE sim card -- just like a non-Verizon Nexus 6 -- but that's another topic entirely.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] rruready:
Dang man thanks for all of that info! Much more than I was expecting which was nice. I knew I'd be in for a true upgrade going from this ancient phone to anything new these days, but I guess I was wondering if there is anyone disappointed with it, but so far I haven't seen many peeps upset with it, other than waiting for L for so long. Also, I have unlimited data so I was looking to buy a used one on swappa, so now I know to look for one running kitkat or already rooted on L. If it is rooted on L, how hard will it be to take updates from there? I guess I'll have to be timid about taking any updates like any other time on a rooted device.... Do some research first, etc. Thanks man.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] dan-O 2014:
Better performance but location issues

I find Lollipop to be much more responsive than KK. Previously there was a lag between unlocking and opening an app. Now it's as fast as I expect it to be. Taking a little while to get used to the (granted, small) changes in interface but overall I like it. I use Yelp a lot and I'm not able to check into locations without turning up the location settings. On KK it could usually find me on Battery Saving mode, but not anymore. That's a big bummer. I also agree with previous posts that there is too much white. I do see a bit more battery usage, but it's not a deal breaker. I'm going to factory reset once I have time to do it, so maybe that will fix it.

Overall I'm very happy with the update and the phone. It's fast and the screen is beautiful.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
As far as I know, you will be able to keep Verizon unlimited data with a new phone, as long as you pay full price and do not sign a contracct. Yes, Swappa would give you a used phone at lower price.

Droid Turbo takes a nano SIM by the way. Your Galaxy S3 has micro SIM. You will need to get a new Verizon nano SIM card or just cut yours down using a SIM card cutter. I just did that when I switched my wife over to the XT1225 (international version of the Droid Turbo XT254). The "new" (cut down) nano SIM card works perfectly. You can get micro-to-nano SIM card cutters off eBay for less than $5, with free shipping -- from U.S. dealers:

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odk...TRS0&_nkw=micro+nano+sim+card+cutter&_sacat=0

Bought mine a while back, used it a couple of times. Well worth the price!

IF you think you might need one that cuts both "standard" SIMs and micro SIMs to nano SIM, then look in that list for one that does both. A few will, and still less than $5 total cost.

___

As for a used Swappa phone already updated to rooted 5.1 image... Would root still work for you, or can you flash to future, improved upcoming rooted 5.1 (and even 5.1.1) images? I have no experience with how the paid Mofo root transfers over in situations like that. Someone who uses Mofo root could answer those questions better than me.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] siegesoldier:
mofo stays with the phone. The new owner of the used mofo enabled phone simply needs to download mofoverify and it will eventually give him a link for a full mofo.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] rruready:
Good stuff. Thank you.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] rruready:
So after dealing with Verizon technical support a few times for two issues, they were able to connect remotely to the phone and see a few things, including the fact that I'm not rooted, etc. I have the "share to help" crap turned off, and they can still see this. It leads me to believe that rooting is not a good idea for me, so I'm considering taking the upgrade to Lollipop. I'm wondering if there are any of you that wish you hadn't upgraded (rooting aside). The day to day usage of it, are you happier with lollipop?
