Hello all, i have my xda connected to my pc via USB pretty much all day while i am at work, i have been using it for a year now, what is the standard life of a battery, how much does it cost to change it and where in london can i buy it.

i know i could look up on the internet and see that but i wanted to know what's the life span of the batter in this case.

its wierd that my xda just blanks out the moment i stay on it for long like reading rss stuff or even when on WIFI, i feel its a battery issue but can it be something else?:confused:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hooperman:
Its the same for me, personally after looking through threads on this subject the battery for the M5000 is crap, mine now looses power even though it registers 90% charged...very frustrating....

Does anyone know how to disable mouse input? My phone keeps glitching and tapping with a cursor when I don't have a mouse plugged in. It only does it on 360 degree videos. I preferably would like this fix to be reversible so in the future I can hook a mouse back up.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Since the inception of mobile cellular phones with digital color displays, the main home screen has been based on the same basic principal:

A page (or pages) of icons that takes the user to a particular application or tool.

However, this modern day and age, with the evolution of technology and the introduction of the SMART phone - the user interface has not evolved.

With touch screen technology and large screen size on our everyday smart phones, should there be some evolution in the same old icons of applications?

I, ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS, ARE IN SEARCH OF THE ULTIMATE ANDROID HOME SCREEN LAUNCHER.

It can be a home screen launcher app, or a combination of widgets or mods, that make a superb, smart and intuitive user experience.

Looking for? Criteria? Ideals?

Something like "Flow Home" app launcher with Google Now Screen, Flipboard/Blink feed live feed and with widgets that are more like interactive apps. A personal assistant-like AGENDA page, a pebble-like timeline information. Quick google search. Quick launch favorites app - like PIE control. Smart auto categorized apps into easy access folders.

Is there a launcher that has the ability to fully integrate an app such as facebook or flipboard as one "full screen" page? That would be amazing. I would have Google Now or some smart agenda assistant app as the default home page, swipe left is facebook, swipe right is flipboard, and if i do some gesture swipe i get my apps organized by smart or frequency or favourites.

I've tried and tested majority of the well known launchers:

Aviate Launcher - excellent!, my current launcher - looking for smarter/better

Flow Home Launcher - excellent, my second go to launcher - i like their favorites app, PIE control-like button and their "news feed"

Google Now Launcher - basic but i like the google now page and it's "smart" information, and it's integration with google calender, keep as i use this constantly

Nova, APEX, Hola and equivalent - bland, very customization but too simple of rows and columns!

GoLauncher - dislike heavy on colour/animation/memory/cpu usage with same results as NOVA, APEX etc.

ActionLauncher - like NOVA but like their widgets on right-swipe page

SmartLauncher - quick start is all that it offers, smart categories all home screen apps have

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] SaschaElble:
Update:

Dev edition of the Turbo has the two pads by the volume buttons uncovered! These MUST be jtag. They ARE POPULATED AND CONNECTED TO THE CPU AND QUALCOMM CHIP!! Top pad to CPU, bottom pad to Qualcomm chipWe NEED someone to please run a JTAG pinout finder tool, or do it manually as I do not have a functional board.

Possible SD-Card by power button. Appears populated and is still connected to cpu (Its actually the power button found on the dev edition of the device, but due to to many pins it may also incorporate sdcard pins?)

Direct access to EMMC not possible due to direct connection to cpu via trace inside the board. (no exposed traces)

(Direct access still possible by installing insert between EMMC and board with necessary traces exposed on insert, with switches to disable connection to board if needed)

Lets identify all relevant chips and pinout plus possible jtag locations! I already did the dirty work and stripped down the Turbo nekkid.

There are two sets of unused connections on the right in this picture. The two sets of pads next to the volume down button are VERY interesting. The top one has 1 ground, and like 13 of the remaining pins go DIRECTLY to the cpu... What feature are we missing? The bottom one goes to the Qualcomm chip with about 6 pins going directly to the chip! (Top layer to the SOC processor has already been removed):

[IMG="#1"]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/IgSZTX-_0gPxZif-tOEruJdgTPJFplydq60ajJxLVFZ9=w1304-h734-no[/IMG]

(Actually looks like cpu die type of chip) This is covered in black epoxy. I've removed the top layer. The eight pads on the left actually had SMD's on them so ignore that, but the eight on the right were blank.. Not sure what they are for. Probably nothing but unpopulated SMD's (will check if exposed pads connect to our mystery chip. :

Not to rain on your parade, but am 96% positive that even if you find the correct location for jtag, it won't work because it has been permenently disabled by blown fuses. 'Cuz that's just how Motorola rolls...

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] r3pwn:
I dunno, I'm not a hardware guy. :/
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] ryanbg:
It's rather common in recent years for OEMs to not even tie the JTAG pins to pads or traces at all. Most useful JTAG taps like ARM-RPM/ARM7 are locked down, along with the DAP. They've also got a tricky JRC to get past, with zero documentation or BSDL. You're best bet is eMMC. You'd need to find a schematic, or remove your chip and use a multimeter/scope to figure out what is what. eMMC access is moderately realistic given you have a box that can handle 1.8v/3.3v Vcc and Vccq. You'll also need to connect DAT0, CMD, CLK, and GND.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] SaschaElble:
Ive removed the emmc and see clear traces to componants surrounding the chip. Can make it easier to connect to the chip without removing it. Will post traces via pic soon.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] daweim0:
Even if we can modify the EMMC contents, will that help us unlock the bootloader? If I remember correctly (and I could be wrong), the initial stage bootloader is burned into the processor and it hashes/verifies all subsequent bootloaders on moto phones (I haven't seen anything turbo specific). What we really need to do is burn q-fuses.

I really don't want to rain on your parade, I'm just wondering what the end goal is. I also have a fair amount of hobbyist level hardware experience that I can donate if needed.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] PittAussie:
What I would really like to see is if there may have originally been plans to add a micro SD card slot. Any signs of unused traces that could have been used for a card slot? Or a possible hack that could add one?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] SaschaElble:
Well if you look by the power button there is an unused set of pads with extra large pads and each side used for structural support for a connector of sorts...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] PittAussie:
Yep that almost certainly looks like pads for a micro SD slot. It also looks like the other components are there too, though it is a bit hard to tell in that pic. So long as support for it is still in the firmware it should be possible to do a hack.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] SaschaElble:
No, but this gives us the ability for 5.1 users to root their phone. Maybe even downgrade... Or maybe trick wp.

Or how about to give brave developers a way to mess with protected portions of their phone and unbrick if QH_loader doesnt show.

A custom ramdisk would enable true system root.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] SaschaElble:
So tracing the emmc I found data0 goes directly to the CPU so no way to tap into that,

BUT

Good news that pad next to the power button directly traces to the CPU so it is VERY likely it the sdcard slot!

Can someone find us a pinout of the snapdragon 805 processor? APQ8084

ALSO: The two sets of pads next to the volume down button are VERY interesting. The top one has 1 ground, and like 13 of the remaining pins go DIRECTLY to the cpu... What feature are we missing? The bottom one goes to the Qualcomm chip with about 6 pins going directly to the chip!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] SaschaElble:
So what if we install our own sdcard and attempt at booting from it when the phone is in a bricked state? Will it default to the external SD Card as a backup bootloader? If so we can dd the bootloader onto the sdcard. And that works we can see if the external backup boot is protected by modifying it...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] ryanbg:
Qualcomm's schematics are extremely proprietary and controlled. You will need to have a licensing agreement or NDA with them in order to even discuss the possibility.

Typically, in my experience, I've seen Qualcomm have a resistor for booting into QHSUSB_BULK/USB boot mode. This process follows the SDC1/SDC3 convention, meaning that it attempts to boot from eMMC first, and if it fails it will boot from external MicroSD. This is entirely dependent on the hardware QFPROM (eFuse) configuration.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] SaschaElble:
So the white "smd" in picture two is actually a processor of sorts... It actually looks like a cpu die when broken apart. It appears to have either 4 or 6 pins... Really wonder what it is. Maybe its a UV wipe-able CMOS kind of chip? And thats why its covered in that black epoxy?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] PittAussie:
Where to the lines for the pins go?

If it is a writable chip, I would take a guess that some of the wires go to those pads above for programming.

---------- Post added at 11:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 AM ----------

Well, bad news. It's not for a Micro SD card. It is actually a connector for the power button on the prototype that used to be where the Motorola logo is. See below:

http://www.droidforums.net/threads/motorola-droid-turbo-prototype-xt1254.280312/

Why they need that many pins for a power button though is beyond me. Maybe it was also a directional button, not just a power button.

Also those two pads near the volume down button were for 2 more connectors, but their use is unknown.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] HG_User:
I put TWRP on it and can boot to recovery. However, it fails flashing the Cyanogenmod zip because (it says) you need to wipe the device due to an incompatible device layout. So I tried that and naturally it wiped the zip off the /sdcard. Then I mounted the sdcard from TWRP but I couldn't write to it from my computer. (I could see the now-empty drive.) So I said what the heck and rebooted the system and had a like-new device.

I had backed that up before I did anything. So transferred another copy of the cyanogemod zip to the tablet, rebooted to TWRP and tried to install it again. Still no luck. I then transferred my backup to my tablet and restored the backup so I'm back where I started.

Is there another way I haven't thought of?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] expat42451:
I put 12 on my n5110 before I found slim rom 4.4.4. Had no trouble with the install of either one. Have you tried putting the cm zip on the external sd card and installing from that using twrp? I also think you can use either Odin or adb but as I recall the methodology will be different. Lots of people with a lot more experience here maybe someone else has some suggestions as well.

Currently i have Black Shadow installed, i wanted to upgrade to Majik and ran the program. I followed the direction (force using sspl, checked everything in order) so i basically did the same as when i upgraded to Shadow. My phone goes to tri color screen and then my active sync disconnects. After the message "Verifying the information on your Hermes...Please wait..." I get this Error 260 saying i can't connect to the phone. Then this error from Microsoft.NET framework comes up as well. I got scared so i reseted the phone and it booted and it still works as a phone and PDA. Now am i stuck with this OS? Is there a way to fix this? Is this bricking? Please help.....

The funny thing is, when it got stuck on the tri color screen from upgrading, it shows SPL-1.09.ds. But when i press power, ok then soft reset, it shows SPL-1.11. Is this normal?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Pc78:
Yes it is normal, cause when you have tried to install MAJIK you have forced SSPL (SPL-1.09.ds) and the RUU pushed the SSPL to your phone...but you have the SPL-1.11 installed...SSPL by-passe your SPL when forcing SSPL to install new ROM, Radio ROM,....
