[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] virajrocks:
Dear Friends,

I recently rooted my Moto G 1st Gen, Indian version and within 2 days itself I am able to receive update from 5.0.2 to 5.1.

When I download the update (208 MB) and install it , it reboots. I see the android boy logo of installing the update but suddenly it stops and reboots.

After reboot it tells that there was a problem in updating software and no change has been made.

What could be the problem? Pls help me friends.

Thank you.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pico hackr:
bro you rooted the device it means you have changed system , try unrooting and reinstall the zip may be that works
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] virajrocks:
So rooted phone do not get updates???

Rooting itself was a painful task to perform. :(

Also I see on this site, https://goo.gl/nfRVZ6 that still its 5.0.2

Then how come am gettign 5.1 update available?

How to unroot it? and i have unlocked bootloader also. Bootloader should be locked again??

Pls help thanks.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhi0502:
What you do is flash 5.0.2 firmware images through fastboot then manually install 5.1(file you can get from other threads)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calinorg:
Just unrooting might not help. You'll then have to install stock 5.0.2 again if unrooting doesn't work...

Hi all

Update:I am aware of the keyboard issue(https://meizufans.eu/forum/topic/1494/i-can-t-move-the-keyboard-cursor).

Whether all 3rd party keyboards in meizu m1 note has to be used only by turning off the predictions to solve the cursor not moving issue. This is a deal breaker for me. I heard it doesnt support prediction on swiftkey…

I am deciding to buy either Lenovo a7000 or meizu m1 note. I inclined towards meizu m1 note but this keyboard is one of the deal breakers.

Thanks in advance

First let me say that I currently only have access to a Linux System (Ubuntu).

Secondly, I had to FTF. I messed something up and I FTF'd Android 4.4.2 / firmware .314.

I have been unable to root this firmware and install recovery.

Is there a "better" firware to root with?

Thanks

Another program was using the port the rooting software was using. Once I cleared that port out rooted fine.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rockman195:
Hey everyone I'm trying to gauge if my note pro is faulty or if this is just normal for them. It seems to take a really long time to charge and I've even had the battery percentage go down While plugged in and doing some light browsing. Here's a screenshot of the battery info while charging and it seems like that's a really long for it to charge. I appreciate any insight thanks.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodnok1:
If you are using less than 2 amp charger it will not keep up with tablet on. Tablet off charging time doubles if 1 amp charger. I use a standard micro USB cable usually, the usb 3 cable charges faster when using 2 amp charger I believe.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rockman195:
Not sure why the screenshoot I took didn't show but let me try again.

I've had the tablet discharge even when using the 2A charger, but it was microusb not usb3. If I'm using the 2A brick does the microusb vs usb3 cable make a difference?

The screenshoot was taken while plugged into a microusb cable into a 1A brick. I get that the 1A will be slower, but 2 hours to go 15% seems crazy and the tablet was merely powered on and connected to wifi, not in use.

Common problem of Galaxy Note and Tab Pro: cracked battery connector. Resolder battery connector will fix : quick discharge, long charge time, not fully charged, battery capacity fluctuation....etc...

This black battery connector was re soldered already to fix this problem:

[IMG="Battery Connector"]http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/39af/pli9t5pusedi9c26g.jpg[/IMG]

As seen in above picture, battery cables are not fully contact with pins of male battery connector also are the source of problem.

The fix is simple: pushing the opening closer, you need a magnified glass and thin knife to do this:

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
It takes Exynos (which a P900 is) Note 12's over 8 hours to fully charge. I had a Exynos 10.1-14 and it took seven hours. It's one of the reasons I got a Snapdragon Note 12 because it cuts charging time dramatically.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
A few things to consider:

Never, absolutely never use a 1A charger with a device this powerful. It will drain more than it charges.

1A chargers are not powerful enough for modern quadcore devices. Even the Note 3 (which has the same hardware) requires 2 hours to charge 30% when using a 1A charger. (It has a significantly smaller battery than the NotePro)

USB2/MicroUSB charges at a rate of 500mA.

USB3 charges at a rate of 900mA.

(The small side of the USB3 plug is what makes it USB3, the other side is just a regular MicroUSB 2.0)

This also applies to the amount of power the cable itself will transfer. A such, using a USB2.0 cable will severely limit charging speed.

Another thing of importance is the device itself. The P905 has Qualcomm Fastcharge. The P900 does not. That amounts to several hours of difference in charging rate.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rockman195:
Interesting and good to know. Would a Micro USB to usb3 adapter do anything on a cable or no? Ordered some 2a power bricks since I only had one previously
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
Not true. The way Samsung implented USB 3.0 the sole advantage is transferring files from the device more quickly. So no need to waste money on clunky USB 3.0 cables that arent compatible with other mobile devices. From Anandtech...
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzy996:
Agree . . I may not have an inline amp meter to verify for sure but based on my own charge rate observations using GSam Battery Monitor Pro I see no noticeable difference between a 2.0 vs stock 3.0 cable using the stock charger.

Those charge ratings quoted by Shadowlea I believe are for the USB specs themselves which may or may not be adhered to when the device is plugged into a computer but don't necessarily translate to using 2.0 vs 3.0 cables on 2 amp chargers.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
If we have Quick Charge, and I'm not sure we do, it's 1.0. The Note 4 was the first to support adaptive fast charging which Qualcomm introduced in QC 2.0.

From Qualcomm...
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
When using the same charger: (Namely the original NotePro charger)

(Ignore the average rate, that's useless given the fact that I just installed the app).

With Original Samsung TabPro USB 2.0 MicroUSB cable:

With Original Samsung NotePro USB 3.0 Cable:

Both cables are the same age, both are official and neither is damaged. Fun fact, the NotePro cable is 1 meter longer, but still charges faster.

I get the exact same results on my Note 3 and my S5.

The NotePro can't be charged through a computer's USB port, by the way. Not without turning the device off completely and waiting three days.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
You can't charge any faster than the 2A spec Samsung's provided no matter what charger and cable you use. Some non-Samsung cables and chargers may degrade charging but peak is peak. There are two sites I don't question and they're Anandtech and GSMArena. I accept what I quoted as truth. That and I personally see no charging difference using my stock 3.0 Cable and charger and my Note 5's fast charger and cable used in multiple combinations.

BTW, we do have Quick Charge 1.0; it started being included in Snapdragon S3's. It's 30% faster than a 1A charger but Samsung's always supported 2A so I don't know what the actual benefit is to us. 15%?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitedavidp:
I know this is an ancient thread... I am trying to help a friend with a P900 and many issues - some of which are battery related...

I have a pretty good, inline USB meter and it shows that with the unit powered-off and displaying 100% full, current continues to be pulled from the charger. It ranges from .25-.7 amps. I expected to see this for a short while as no onboard capacity meter ever seems to be completely correct. But it has been running like this for about an hour and shows no sign of stopping. This seems strange. Can anyone explain? Is it possible that this could result from the bad connector issue mentioned above? I have not looked inside yet (recently).

From what I know of its history, the original battery was replace (by me) in June 2020 with one of these. I also know that the unit has never had its original charger and I have seen that the charger that has been used is a generic, 2-slot block that reads 2 amps - I presume this means it is a max of 1 amp per slot but it doesn't say that on the unit. I also know that this tablet has been used for plenty of Zoom calls both with and without the charger engaged and that it has been run down until the unit shuts off on its own - at least several times (I suspect many times).

Thanks for any input and for this helpful thread.
[X Style (Pure) General] nikeman513:
Online chats have said it does not void your warranty, but when you go to

Motorola.com --> My Stuff --> View My Stuff

It says that your warranty is voided, and I'll bet Motorola wouldn't hesitate to go by that when you have an issue. Wait until there's a clear cut answer, or unless you are 100% sure this is what you want to do...
[X Style (Pure) General] patt2k:
It's not voided. Confirmed by moto managers on their forums.
[X Style (Pure) General] nikeman513:
Link?... Why would the status change on their own website then?
[X Style (Pure) General] jeffreycentex:
The Pure Editions don't lose their warranty, but the Style ones would...

Think of the Pure as a Developer Edition phone.
[X Style (Pure) General] brholt6:
The Motorola website is now showing my Pure Edition as out of warranty...until I hear back from them about it, I'm going to have to disagree.

---------- Post added at 03:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 AM ----------

I'll have to get on there and ask one of them why my warranty is voided...hopefully its just the website being sketchy.

Edit: I checked through the moto forums and I didn't see any thread where a forum manager said it wouldn't void the warranty. Do you have a link?

To add to this, Moto chat told me that it does void the warranty and that despite last years Pure Edition being a developer edition, this year's Pure Edition is indeed NOT considered a developer edition. So, as of now, unlocking the bootloader on this device will void the warranty.
[X Style (Pure) General] Cptkirk1996:
They do say it voids your warranty, however government laws and acts such as the act in the UK will over rule anything that they say and will have to abide the warranty still.
[X Style (Pure) General] joshuadjohnson22:
I'm not sure why this needed it's own thread. In my unlocking thread I did say it will probably void your warranty and we can warn others inside the thread. Just seems to be redundant to have 2 threads on the topic of unlocking. I will update the OP to reflect your findings.
[X Style (Pure) General] nikeman513:
In your main thread title say it will void your warranty and confirmed... Then they can and should do that... Not make people search for it in the body...
[X Style (Pure) General] joshuadjohnson22:
Well I don't want to make the title massive, truthfully if a user does not read everything on a thread before trying it they need to not mod their device. I put it in red and BEFORE the unlock guide. Also it says it on the motorola page, if they don't know that it will void their warranty it is their own fault. I will make the text larger so it stands out more.
[X Style (Pure) General] spotmark:
My goodness! What is everyone's deal with voiding their warranty? Is this the first phone you've ever unlocked? If you're on XDA, unlocking, rooting, and flashing, you know the risks. Suck it up, buttercup!
[X Style (Pure) General] joshuadjohnson22:
exactly, to me this is business as usual... every phone that you OEM lock say they will void your warranty but usually they will still fix hardware issues if they arise. Now saying that I have never had a motorola device so they may be different, if you want to hack you will potentially void your warranty, if you don't then just enjoy stock... it's that simple
[X Style (Pure) General] wctaylor79:
Just dropping here.. From chat just now

Was chatting on Moto about my shipping and asked about the bootloader. Does not void moto care. Course just in case I'm saving this chat for future as well. Just saying. Seems the concensus whith myself and others have been confirmed that warranty stays intact.

Chris: Great. Thank you for that. I have another question that is general to the Moto X Pure I wanted to check on dealing with the system and warranty. Would you be able to assist with that as well?

Kris: What kind of system warranty? is that the Moto care?

Chris: Yeah I have signed up for Moto Care. My question is with the fact that the Pure is able to be unlocked. Not just carrier unlocked, but that the boot loader is unlockable through the Moto site. Would that void the warranty through Moto Care if you were to unlock the boot loader on the phone?

Kris: No it will not Chris, Pure edition is considered ad developers edition. Even if you unlock the device using the bootloader it warranty will not be voided.
[X Style (Pure) General] brholt6:
Definitely save that chat. Who knows...Maybe someone else who has unlocked can let us know if theirs is voided...maybe something is just goofed up with my account.
[X Style (Pure) General] joshw0000:
Click the "Please let us know" button and see what happens.
[X Style (Pure) General] Superguy:
The question is whether or not this is a dev device or not. Moto treats Dev devices differently and allows the unlocks while maintaining the warranty. Non-dev devices lose it.

So now there's conflicting info out there about which it is, with some in Moto saying it is and some saying no. Moto needs to come out with a clear cut answer.

If it's indeed a dev type device, as other Pures have been, then they need to be up front about it. If not, they need to clarify on the ordering page that it's not a dev device.

The problem comes now is that people took stock in what various Moto reps have said and unlocked it. If I was told by Moto it wouldn't void my warranty if I unlocked, only to find out it did, I'd be pretty upset. Otherwide, if I used something like Sunshine or Moto stated it would be void, then I can't expect it if I choose to unlock it.

Conflicting info from the manufacturer isn't good. It needs to define it straight up, one way or the other, so people can make a properly informed decision if they want to assume the risks and unlock.
[X Style (Pure) General] brholt6:
I did. It'll take up to 7 days.
[X Style (Pure) General] joshuadjohnson22:
Yeah, I think the problem is people are trusting Chat support. I don't care what company you are using, chat support will give you 20 different answers. I really hope they think of it as a dev device.
[X Style (Pure) General] xDMONEYx:
Maybe if you click that link that the warranty status is incorrect and say that you unlocked the bootloader and have heard it should not void the warranty, you can get some sort of official word back on whether or not the warranty is actually void. Just a thought.
[X Style (Pure) General] joshw0000:
I just chatted with a rep who confirmed this is not a dev device and assured me unlocking will void the warranty.

[X Style (Pure) General] dexim:
What does this have to do with voiding warranties or unlocking bootloaders?
[X Style (Pure) General] buggerritt:
Not sure why you can't access the website. Perhaps you need to edit your hosts file. PEBCAK may be the answer as well.

I never mentioned intentional misuse or intentional abuse of any kind. I said that you could run it over with a Mack truck, submerge it in water, drop it from a skyscraper and if you had all the parts and they couldn't fix it, they would reimburse you. Intentional was never typed until you typed it.
[X Style (Pure) General] vnphantom:
I returned one of my Moto Maker ones without even bothering relocking the bootloader with no problem.
[X Style (Pure) General] toyanucci:
Thanks. I'll be returning mine but was just curious. Thanks for the heads up!
[X Style (Pure) General] pancakes565:
If I unlock, install a recovery, install root, and install exposed, how will I be able to get OTA updates?
[X Style (Pure) General] joshuadjohnson22:
You'll have to wait for a flashable zip version or rom or install stock recovery and unroot
[X Style (Pure) General] jmtjr278:
You will either flash a version that a dev creates or you will fastboot the factory image.

[X Style (Pure) General] Darnell_Chat_TN:
For the MXPE, the "Unlock" link goes to this page, which says:

That's, not so great news for anyone wanting to unlock. It gives no distinction for software or hardware issues.
[X Style (Pure) General] juancaperez2000:
Yes, you right I misunderstand, thats only which phones can be unlocked
[X Style (Pure) General] rushless:
Which was my point all along, but people appeared to take some reps for their word. This statement is very clear and absolute in wording. If anything goes wrong with the device, even if appears to not have to do with the unlocking, the user is on their own. Warranty officially voided.
[X Style (Pure) General] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Agreed. Some may unlock and be able to get warranty service now. But at any moment, Moto may decide to cut back and refuse warranty service to unlocked devices. They've already given themselves clear legal foundation. No matter what any blogger or phone rep may say.
[X Style (Pure) General] rushless:
The good news is Moto is making it fairly easy, the bad news is you lose the warranty. Seems objective and not subjective based on the wording from Motorola. Some might luck out and get through a bricking or a hardware issue and still get the warranty honored, but the wording very clearly says unlocking equals no warranty for software or hardware. Point is the device owner has no legal grounds to push back after unlocking/rooting.
[X Style (Pure) General] OzzyRulez:
Actually Magnuson-Moss would disagree that unlocking the bootloader would void hardware warranty. Software yes but they can't attribute, say, if the charging port breaks, that is in no relation to boot loader unlocking and would still have to warranty the device.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnuson–Moss_Warranty_Act

"The federal minimum standards for full warranties are waived if the warrantor can show that the problem associated with a warranted consumer product was caused by damage while in the possession of the consumer, or by unreasonable use, including a failure to provide reasonable and necessary maintenance."
[X Style (Pure) General] erikiksaz:
This needs to be the new headline.

All this talk is moot, the new X Pure is considered a dev phone now.
[X Style (Pure) General] joshuadjohnson22:
Is it though? I'm pretty sure they said it isn't.

Either way they have said they will cover hardware only if you unlock which is fine with me. If you screw up your software it is your fault. It was posted to their forums that they will still cover hardware related issues(see link below). I think this is how it should be. I am happy with this and I'm not going to sit here and worry. They should not be responsible for paying for your mistake if YOU chose to operate the phone differently than they designed it. On top of that I have NEVER sent any of my devices to the manufacturer for a warranty issue in the past. Could happen but most people in this forum wont do it.

Moral of the story... you break the software it is YOUR fault and you deserve to have no help. It is very hard to do and you must have flashed something wrong or not read everything. If you hardware breaks they have your back (like they should). I think/wish all manufacturers had this plan. I have always said "I wish they would give us the option to root and only support hardware if we mess something up, I think this is fair"

*drops mic* ;)

[X Style (Pure) General] joshuadjohnson22:
You should be fine but I would remove the warning first by flashing this

Yeah but what does it change? It doesn't mean it is a dev device (That I can see...?) and it doesn't change what they said. The warning has always been the same even in Sep but they will still uphold the hardware support.
