Am I supposed to get better battery life

Hi guys

As I browse the forums I see people getting insane battery life ,like 5+ hours SOT.However Ive never managed to get passed 4 or maybe 4 &1/2 SOT.I use my phone for Youtube alot as well as Poweramp music player and Chrome.I play games like RR3 and Riptide a few times day for like 5 or 10 minutes at a time.

Ive done all the usual tricks to save power and my screen brightness is on manual and at maybe 20% brightness.I dont use live wallpaper and my phone is on wifi all of the day.

Am i doing something wrong thats preventing me from getting that 5+ hours of SOT.Any advice anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated.Oh and Im not rooted or anything and I dont plan on rooting anytime soon so just keep that in mind when answering.

Thanks and Regards

Im pretty new to rooting and I cant get custom icon packs in cm theme settings to work in a single cm based rom.

I tested by only picking the icon packs from a theme and then press "update" but it dosent work, I still have the default icons and a reboot didnt work.

What to do? :/

Ignore weak wifi network setting

Hi guys

In previous versions of android there was a setting that allowed the phone to ignore low signal wifi connections.Wheres this setting in Marshmallow 6.0?
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OldUncle:
Well, I like this noob friendly thread...

1. I'm searching for the

proper

TWRP and SuperSu versions for Moto X Play XT1562 Dual Sim.

Two days ago installed Marshmallow 6.0.1 via RSD lite over Lolipop. This one XT1562_LUX_RETASIA_DS_6.0.1_MPD24.107-52_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip

But after flashing with twrp and supersu (those I used on Lopipop successfully...) I ended up with bootloop...

Reflashed back to stock 6.0.1.

But can not find the proper files now.

What I learned is that I need to use SuperSu 2.62 or 2.63

But I can't find the proper files... TWRP and SuperSu

Any suggestions appreciated!

2. After upgrading to MM 6.0.1. I can not access devices internal partition from my computer not from Linux Fedora or Windows 8. Is that normal for MM? and how can I get back the access to internal storage?

This one worked for TWRP

BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip worked for SuperSu on MM 6.0.1

File is here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087018189

Update: today SuperSu got updated automatically via play store... From 2.62-3 to 2.65. Nothing wrong happened. Working!

Though flashing directly to 2.65 leads to boot loop... Tested. Don't try.

Flash update without returning to stock

I have an XT1563 with 24.44.1.lux_retla_ds_.retla.en.01 retbr, but there's an OTA update and I can't install. My phone is unrooted and the recovery is TWRP though my system is still read only. Is there a way to patch the system without having to flash stock all over again?

Thanks!
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tag68:
You could try only flash stock recovery. That should help. For the future: if you want to be able to do OTA without searching the right stock recovery, just use fastboot boot twrp every time you need twrp instead of fastboot flash twrp. Did you change boot logo also? That will prevent OTA too afaik.

No. It's still the warning.

No, this is how to flash twrp. I mean flash stock recovery and replace twrp by it. As it may be complicated to get/flash stock recovery alone, or to find the right version belonging to your stock rom, I usually avoid flashing twrp.

Alternate method of returning to stock?

Hi guys

I was wondering how to easily return to stock so I can install OTA updates. What I was thinking is:

Does the full unroot option in SuperSU actually work and does what it says it does?

Secondly if I do manage to unroot can I flash the stock recovery to replace TWRP. After doing all this will I then be able to install OTA updates? Or do I still have to reflash a factory image to return to stock?
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tag68:
It does unroot. It does not revert changes done by other apps using the power of root. Or flash operations.

You may have a look at the list of some necessities for OTA update.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ebrahim Ali:
Will me having installed a custom kernel(squid kernel) affect the OTA process assuming I managed to meet all the other conditions?
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tag68:
Probably it won't work with squid kernel. AFAIK it is to find somewhere in the thread of that kernel how to revert to original, and not too complicated. You may have a try without reverting squid, all my failed OTA just gave the message "OTA not successful" and reverted to a working point without that update. But that may vary, backup before testing sure is a good idea.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ebrahim Ali:
I just remembered that I have a backup of my phone at stock unrooted . I did this backup with TWRP 2.8.7.0 and its on my pc ATM. Will I be able to restore from this backup now that I have TWRP 3.0.0.0r2?
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tag68:
Would guess the kernel is on system partition, and restore could help then. Newer TWRP should be compatible with old backups, but you may wait for someone else to answer. Too much "think" and "should" for me to give an answer which will really help.

If you want to startup an older twrp you can use

fastboot boot old-twrp.img

This is also how you can avoid flashing twrp when rooting. You know that?

Update to Marshmellow with Root and TWRP

Hi,

i have a rooted XT1562 with TWRP as a flashed recovery (yes i know you shoundn't do that and use fastboot).

If I have understood it correctly, the best way to update is for me to flash the stock recovery and then flash the update.

However, I was unable to find a link where I can download the stock recovery. Can you perhaps provide me with one?

Thanks in advancce
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tag68:
It's absolutely fine to flash twrp. If you flash a stock ROM, recovery will be replaced anyway. If you don't want to hassle with OTA updates just flash twrp next time also after flashing stock ROM. You have twrp always available which is a big advantage. It's your choice.

Only if you want to do OTA updates you need to match several conditions, stock recovery is one of them and not flashing twrp helps against the need to search for the right recovery. But you may not fulfill some of the other criteria and it's not that easy to find the reason why an OTA does not work. Then maybe you will flash stock ROM anyway.

Do a backup, or better do several backups (titanium and Nandroid), save them outside your mobile, and flash stock ROM. Then freely decide if you want to have twrp flashed again, or if you want to only boot it via usb using fastboot boot when needed.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surinlol:
So the best way to update for me would be to flash the Android 5 stock ROM of the XT1562 and then update via OTA to Marshmellow and then root the device again?

Soft-Bricked XT1562

Hi everyone,

I have soft-bricked my XT1562. Let me give you the background:

Installed firmware update 6.0.

Unlocked boot loader.

Flashed TWRP.

[All was working well until this point, then:]

Flashed SuperSu Zip from within TWRP.

After this my phone did not start.

I tried flashing other versions of SuperSu on top of this, ones which were more compatible with 6.0 firmware, but there were no improvements.

After this I tried flashing a UK stock Lollipop firmware onto my device (although I live in Canada, this was the only one I could find), and now it is stuck in a bootup loop.

I'm really unsure of what to do next. I have access to the TWRP Recovery still, thankfully, but I'm unable to find the official stock firmware for Canada XT1562. I have been reading forums and trying to correct this for two days now, and I need my phone to be functional because the work week starts again on Monday. Unfortunately, I did not make any backups.

Would it be possible for me to restore my system from some type of backup made by my friend with the same phone with 6.0 firmware? Can I get him to make a nandroid backup and apply to my own phone, or is this not viable?

Any advice whatsoever is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Bird-

---------- Post added at 09:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:00 PM ----------

Also, I would like to ask if there is a difference between stock ROM's and stock Firmware?

Are these two words for the same thing?

And, is it necessary for me to do Wipe certain files in the system between attempted installs of firmware, and of SuperSu, etc?

I have been trying to install them as-is, without wiping the system first.

If there are any guides on general info that could be recommended, please do.

I know I would be able to find these answers eventually but I'm really at my wits end, and could really use some assistance. And yes, I've learned my lesson for the future about ALWAYS making backups and reading as much as possible before diving into potentially damaging upgrades.

If you look in the index thread you will find a list of all the official firmwares for the X Play. Find your one and flash it with platform tools or the minimal ADB.

Is your phone dual or single sim?Do you seeing lux_retasia or something along those lines when you first got your phone? That is what version of the X play you have. For example I'm in South Africa but I have the lux_retasia dual sim model.

I don't know if restoring from another phones backup would work. Also on 6.0 you have to flash a specific version of supersu. You'll find the thread in general I just kind remember what it's called.

The firmware was lux_retca, 6.0, single sim...

I can only find UK or EU firmware for the XT1562, but I'm sure USA firmware would work, if it exists. I haven't seen this online though.

Do you think it necessary to do a wipe of system files from within TWRP Recover before using fastboot to flash the stock firmware?

(I'm doing this on a Linux system, so I installed the android-developer tools, which includes ADB and FASTBOOT commands. I've been using fastboot to flash the firmware files.)

Micro SDXC not being recognized

Hi I just purchased a Moto X Play and i previously had a microsd card but it's not being recognized by the device.

I already checked with another moto x play and it is the same thing, could it be that my card is not compatible with this phone?

it's not the card that it is damaged because i was using it in my xperia m4 and everything works fine.

Ok. Then, if you're already aware of the new (awful for my very own taste) feature on Android 6 regarding SD cards with which you must choose to mount it for internal or external storage and your device doesn't ask for such first time you insert it, just try another non-Sony branded card; or backup the contents on your Sony card, reformat it, and try again.
