[Moto X Q&A] onuris:
Hi All,

I have my X sine it came up on 2014 here in Argentina (2013 version).

At first the USB plug was tight and steady, but it's been a while and now I just got my Lollipop update, but my USB is too loose, so everytime I plug it I must strugle to get it charging.

I've never opend it, I'm not quite sure what to do to get it as it once was again and keep this awesome phone alive..

I'll appreciate any suggestions
[Moto X Q&A] bushako:
Maybe the microusb pin is the issue. Do you have the same problem with a new USB cable?

Sent from my Moto X
[Moto X Q&A] aponcet:
Well some cables seem to lock a bit more, but all cables are too lose, new cables like you get that 'click' felling, but its still loose, not as much as the original, but loose in the end :S

I just upgraded my Eonon VW Android head unit to KitKat, everything went smooth other than now I have no radio. Went to factory settings and have only 2 chip sets and have tried them both, still nothing. I am not very good (new) to Android. Is there anything I can install to get back the other radio chip sets ? I use the radio a lot and really don't want to tether to use an app every time and use my data to just listen to local radio (Cubs, Bears, etc.)
[Android Head-Units] mike.s:
Downgrade your MCU to the previous version.
[Android Head-Units] chgogolfpro:
I can't find previous version mine was MTCB-KLD-v2.20
[Android Head-Units] mike.s:
Try an earlier one than you have now. Perhaps 2.55.
[Android Head-Units] chgogolfpro:
Tried that, but will try again
[Android Head-Units] chgogolfpro:
I found the MCU V 2.20

I downloaded on SD card, did the reset to MCU from SD card, and yet everytime I keep getting MCU V2.7

What am I doing wrong ?
[Android Head-Units] mike.s:
Flash it from recovery. Is it named mcu.img?
[Android Head-Units] chgogolfpro:
Yep this is what it says and what I download

HUIFEI-Firmware V2.20

14.05.2015 15:5149 KB

mcu.img
[Android Head-Units] chgogolfpro:
I give up, I have tried everything from new firmware, 5 or more different mcu and nothing changes. At this point I would rather just go with a car stereo from a car stereo manufacturer , seems kind of silly to have to jump through a bunch of hoops to be able to get in your car turn your radio on and get local am/fm stations instead of connecting to internet to play radio from app and still not get local NFL, MLB because they don't allow streaming

Hi all

I earlier filed an issue at github/XPrivacy, issue 2253:

| I've been using XPrivacy for a few years, but this issue is new, possibly triggered to an update to the latest

| version.

|

| I found that my calendar has stopped showing any entries, and then I noticed that the Exchange account has

| disappeared. Eventually, I managed to track the problem down do XPrivacy.

|

| With XPrivacy disabled/removed, I am able to create an Exchange account and use it normally.

| From there, after installing/enabling XPrivacy and rebooting, the Exchange account has disappeared (and

| doesn't come back after removing/disabling XPrivcay).

| Trying to set up the Exchange account with XPrivacy enabled, there's a message that Exchange services have

| stopped before setup is complete.

|

| I'm not sure there are any settings I could change because the software only shows restrictions for user apps,

| not system apps.

|

| Android version 4.3 (latest available for device)

| Device Sony Xperia SP (C5303)

| XPosed Framework app_process 58/XposedBridge.jar 54

| XPrivacy 3.6.19

to which I received the following response by M66B:

| I am quite sure this is not caused by a bug but by a restriction.

| I don't know which one, however.

| Your best bet is to ask for help in the XDA XPrivacy forum.

So I hope I found the correct forum.

Thanks.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Portgas D. Ace:
Have a look at the Xprivacy thread and report your issue there.
[Xposed Framework Modules] ricarva:
[MENTION=6941734]john257[/MENTION]

I'm having a similar problem, but do not use XPrivacy: still, my exchange account is being deleted.

My question to you is: how did you track down who/what is deleting your account? I can't figure it out on my end, and am going crazy trying to make sense of this.

Thanks for yout time!
[Xposed Framework Modules] john257:
[MENTION=4097178]ricarva[/MENTION]

I figured it must be one of the security related apps, and there aren't that many installed. Also remembered that I updated XPrivacy just a few days ago.

Sony will not release any updates for this phone, so no change in the OS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] tommobile14:
Hi,

My phone is:

- flashed to CleanRom by Flashfire

- rooted by Pingpong Root

- Knox is 0x1 (I think I tried to install custom recovery in the process, which tripped Knox)

Before I flashed and rooted my phone I had some files in Private Mode. Now I cannot enter Private Mode anymore (error: "Failed to enable Private Mode"), which I understand because the Knox is tripped. I don't have Xposed frameworks.

Do you know how I can recover these files? Is there a way to either:

- Access files that were put to Private Mode without entering Private Mode

- Enable Private Mode even with tripped Knox

- Reset Knox

These files are very important to me. Thank you very much for your input.

Tom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dandrumheller:
I don't know for sure as I've never used private mode. But I would say your best bet would be to flash back to a stock ROM so you would have private mode support. Not sure you'll still be able to get the stuff with Knox tripped or not. Good luck
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] anneoneamouse:
Isn't the whole point of Knox to protect those files? If so, I would suspect that they are not recoverable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] tommobile14:
Solved!

I flashed to Stock Rom and was able to enable Private Mode and recover my data. Thanks!

So the problem is NOT with Knox. I just tried to flash to CleanRom and Ultra Light Rom, and Private Mode is not able to enable again. So the problem is with the Custom Rom. Maybe some functions were deleted which cause Private Mode not working properly?

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] unedukated:
The same thing happened to me over the weekend. After trying everything I gave up and used the official ruu from the HTC site. It sucks having to reinstall all the apps and set the phone up the way I like it but at least it's working again.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
How did you unroot? If you just used the SuperSU unroot function (or similar) I don't think its enough. You need the fully stock unrooted ROM.

Also its not clear for your lack of detail if you are using the right stock recovery. What is your main version (firmware) number and what stock recovery did you use?

It will probably be easiest to RUU at this point, as the previous response mentioned. If s-on, you will need to relock the bootloader to RUU; and the phone

will

be wiped when you do so.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robjbw:
Hi all. Just got my Moto X Pure few days ago. But I noticed that my speakers are cracking at certain sounds. Specially playing the ringtone "Zeta", crackling occurs. Not clear. Does not happen with every sound. Thinking its a defective in my phone. Can you test yours playing the Zeta tone and let me know. Thanks!
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoFear1183:
I can achieve the same crackle playing that tone ONLY at max volume. I tried different audio settings (balanced or bassboost or off) all crackle at MAX volume.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robjbw:
Thanks. But my does not matter if its in max volume. Thanks for the reply. Moto X Pure, Returning....

PS; My Moto X2nd same ringtone, NO Problem at any volume.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illogic6:
I posted on the official forums about this problem and already got one reply: https://forums.motorola.com/posts/c751a88e77?commentId=981431

I chatted with Motorola support and they had me run through some TSing steps: Reboot, clear cache, factory reset

The chat support couldn't look up my IMEI for some reason, so they gave me a case number and have escalated it. I should get a call in 24-48 hours.

I'm not sure if I even want to return it if this issue is widespread. No sense in returning only to receive a phone with the same problem or perhaps MORE problems.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikeman513:
At Max it does have some crackling but at one step below it doesn't, and it's still better than the next best thing you can get, due to it's front facing speakers. Remember it's a phone. Spend money on a wireless speaker or headphones, this isn't supposed to be your personal boombox.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illogic6:
That sounds an awful lot like "you're holding it wrong". I've owned a lot of Android phones and none that I remember had it this bad or even close.

If Motorola doesn't want me using the phone that loud, they should not allow me to increase the volume that much. They may simply need to lower the gain with a software update. Until I know for sure that pretty much everyone has this problem, I'm going through Moto's support channels for a resolution.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlz28:
Looking at the mixers_path.XML file, the gains do seem to be rather high.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illogic6:
I have not tinkered with that file or the settings within before. A quick Google seems to suggest that screwing with those settings can cause similar distortion. Sounds more and more like something they'll have to tweak in an OTA.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fantach:
Yes, and to be honest i never have my speakers on max volume but i understand its frustrating for some.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lyricalsoul5:
It may be the eq settings. Do you have it enabled?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illogic6:
I have had it enabled as it comes enabled by default. While troubleshooting this problem I discovered this feature and disabled the EQ in the sound settings menu. It mitigates the crackling but doesn't make it go away entirely.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaseman:
Sorry if it's happening ALL the time even at low volumes but just about any speaker system cranked up to full volume will snap-crackle-pop unless you are running very expensive speakers with very powerful, clean amplification! I mean come on...can we even call what they put in a cell phone a "speaker"?? Maybe if you were the size of a grasshopper you could call them "speakers"!
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illogic6:
None of my other phones do it. This isn't a budget phone either. Hell my Moto G doesn't do it.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaseman:

---------- Post added at 12:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 PM ----------

If this issue is so wide spread WHY DIDN"T EVEN ONE REVIEW say anything about it???? Did they all get different phones? Is this a batch issue like we have seen on many threads about many phones like the S6 scratch debacle?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illogic6:
Probably because it's easy to miss. It only seems to happen at max or near max volume and with only certain sounds. It might also only be 10% of the phones or something have it. It would be very easy to have one of the 10% and not notice unless you're looking for it.

It's not a huge deal at all... don't get me wrong. I'm particular about my phones though, so it is enough for me to consider looking elsewhere.

I tried to capture it on video, but it doesn't pick up well. It is worse in person. https://vid.me/tavk
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaseman:
Well I couldn't hear anything bad through my laptop with headphones on so I hope it is tolerable. TY
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robjbw:
Well for me, I have to bring the volume down 4 notches so theres no rattle. Another thing I noticed is that when choosing a notification sound, between each choice, theres crackle and pop coming from my speaker. Weird. Also, rattle is from top speaker only. Seems like for ringtones, the phone uses both speakers, but only through the bottom for notifications. When playing music, even at maxx volume, i don't notice the rattle. Well, as much as I love this phone, i think I'm returning it. Since its a widespread problem, maybe the next revision, they "will" install different speaker. Guess the wait for N5x begins for me.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Locklear308:
I agree, phone or no, it shouldn't be possible to crank it to levels that may cause damage. I always avoid max volume as a rule of thumb to be extra safe though :D
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cronoc:
Got mine today (from Moto maker) and immediately checked this. At max volume and one step below there's some minor crackle when playing the Zeta ringtone. I turned the equalizer off and that didn't change it. I'm not finding it a deal breaker or anything, if it happens when I'm listening to podcasts then it will be, but I have a bit until I've loaded everything onto the phone and can try that.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illogic6:
Podcasts is when it's at its worst for me. :(
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MPTP:
This is happening with mine as well, right out of the box, with the eq disabled. For me it's an audible pop at the beginning and/or the end of most sounds at all volume levels. I do not experience any crackling during audio playback and otherwise audio playback is excellent.

However, it is bothersome to me hearing it during every notification but seeing as how it's somewhat of a known issue I'm reluctant to return it only for the issue to persist.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeNeckbone:
Does everyone have the issue when changing phone orientation makes the audio glitch up? Skip to 2:20 https://youtu.be/E8mnUyLTY-o
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illogic6:
I think the split second pause when rotating is a universal problem. What's causing this is the stereo speakers reorienting themselves to have the left and right channels playing to match the new orientation. I don't think it's good UX, but probably working as intended. It would definitely be nice if they got rid of the stutter, but I'd happily take stutter over constant distortion. :(
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeNeckbone:
Hopefully these issues can be fixed with a OTA. Orientation bug I'll be able to deal with. But the crackling not so much, still waiting for my phone to come. Ordered on 5th, it has been getting assembled since the 9th and estimated delivery is Thursday.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robjbw:
So guys, heres a follow up to my current situation with the Moto X Pure. My friend also wanted the Moto X Pure. So, we headed down to our local bestbuy. They had the black 16gb in stock. He bought it. Outside in the car, he opened the box and I told him right away to listen to the Zeta in max volume. Yep, crackle happens. On top of that, i noticed, when he powered up the device, there was some light bleeding coming from the bottom left corner. Thats is why i like amoled screen. Pixels turn itself off when its black. Oh well, guess the Moto X Pure suffers from cheap components (Understandable since its under 400) but also from bad quality control. ALSO, check my video! I found another problem with my Moto X Pure. I was thinking of keeping it cause "nothing is perfect". Heck, after this, no way. Anyhow, long story short, the back cover is not glued all the way. And that is only from the bottom of the cover. Originally I had a case on the phone and thought it was the case making the noise, but after playing with the phone without the case, big problem...was noticed. Anyhow, really bad quality control. At least with my custom Pure Crap.

According to the Motorola forum

It is most likely a software issue, so they are working on a OTA.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cronoc:
Just to update, though certain ringtones cause minor crackling, I listened to some podcasts earlier and heard no crackling at all, even at the uncomfortably loud max volume. They were WTF with Marc Maron and the Savage Lovecast, though I doubt there are all that many outlier podcasts that would cause crackle if these don't. The speakers are a nice upgrade from my old Galaxy Note N-7000, I'm so used to that tinny sound that I even used the treble boost in the EQ settings cause the sound had too much bass in it. I don't think this is going to be an issue for me.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fantach:
Sorry to hear that, even if its 400$ it shouldnt be such a low quality product. Here in Europe, we ll have to pay around 600$ for a 32gb model. Now i am worried too, should i gamble and see if i get fine device or buy something else.

I have a 2013 Moto X and just placed my order for the new X the other day. I've been following this thread. This morning when I got a notification on my 2013 Moto X, I heard the crackling/popping everyone is talking about. I post this because this leads me to believe this might actually be a software issue and not hardware since it happens on my 2013 with the latest lollipop upgrade and I don't remember it happening before that (kitkat). It seems to exclusively affect notifications. Music, podcasts, any continuous audio doesn't have any problems.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okcthunderfan:
Very interesting. I'm going to test this tomorrow, too. I still have my 2013 X sitting in my desk at work and it still has 4.4.4 on it. I never heard the issue on that phone, either, or my 2014 version. I'm gonna test it out, update, and test again. If I hear it after the update and not before that has to mean it's a software issue. That's what I'm hoping for!
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ra990:
That would be great. I hadn't noticed it before but since this thread was on my mind and my notification volume happened to be louder than I usually keep it, I thought it's probably the same issue that's being talked about here.
