[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electriceccentric:
Okay, so I recently bought a used Moto G LTE, seller said it would be on Lollipop 5.1. When I received it, it had been rolled back to 4.4.4. Hence the screen ripple at every boot up (which persists until the phone is locked and then unlocked) that almost gave me a heart attack the first time. A little googling later I learn this happens because while you can downgrade android the upgraded version's bootloader remains. So last night I finally got around to rooting since I just can't go from a rooted phone to living with a non rooted one, feels like my phone has a noose around it. Anyway I wanted to know if it's safe to flash CM on my phone now or should I reupgrade to 5.1 first? And if I should is there a way to get it to update OTA again? If not any suggestions where to find the firmware? I just want to feel free to flash roms without bricking my phone. Here is a screenshot of my About Phone, in case someone needs it to help, imgur.com /v8iLOU7

Hi.

In my xt1040, i can flash CM 12 lollipop or a stock rom based from kitkat 4.4.4 without problems (I have a updated bootloader), to get OTA updates again, its necessary flash the stock rom (KK or LP), without root, PURE stock (with all "bloatware").

Now im using a optimized rom from:

http://xdaforums.com/moto-g/4g-development/rom-stock-motorola-4g-lollipop-rom-t3142816

No bugs, amazing battery life, and a pure stock, no "bloatware", great ram management.

Sorry for bad english. ;)

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] ogorur:
I have tried nearly all ROMS released on this forum (eg. PDAMobiz, Gallum, PDAViet 4.0.0.6). On all ROMS I have tried, I have the same problem.

Although I turn off the device pressing the power button on the right side, time to time it turns on automatically without me pushing any button. (every 3-5 minutes)I believe that the cause is I use Direct Push all the time and when it starts to sync the phone turns on unintentionally.

Second, The "Lock all buttons expect Power button" option is selected in the Buttons settings. However when I first turn the device off, no button is functional as expected. But after 1-2 minutes when I click Comm Manager(or now TouchFlo) button, the device turns on again.

This is very annoying because I put the phone in my pocket and it turns on and I start calling people or sending messages without me knowing that :)

any help appreciated.

Thanks!

I'm not shure if it helps but my last version of the touch version does not use the Comm Manager button for the Touch Cube... and I tryed to simulate but pressing power of and then tried to press comm manager button several times and it did not turn on
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] rondol1:
Just a hunge and only partial answer, but have you made an email account and have the setting configured to check at intervals? My experience is that the device turns to active then. I have put this setting to manually and no problems witk unexpected "turnning on" since then.

(Doesn't explain the Comm button issue though...)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] ogorur:
The problem persists both for Gullum and also for PDAViet 4.0.0.6. I have e-mail account set to receive mail "as they arrive"(I use direct push) so that should be the problem. Everytime it starts to sync the device turns on. I cannot change this setting to manual because I use e-mail more than phone on my PDA (I have 150-200MB data usage per month :))

I cannot find a reasonable answer to the comm manager problem because for the first 2-3 months everything works as it should be both later comm manager button wakes the phone up.

Thanks anyway. I think I should carry on using good old WM5.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prateek57:
Just an idea.....

Is it possible ???

As being a 5"< screen phone it's sometimes irritating while operating single handed.

I was wondering if the notification/status bar could be shifted to bottom of the screen .

It would enable a very convinient use of phone.

P.s. my phone is rooted & xposed framework installed on latest lollipop 5.0 bog6 firmware

[Asus ZenWatch 2] bigjakk:
I purchased my Zenwatch 2 about a month ago. At the time I had a Droid Maxx from Verizon. Battery life of the watch was as expected end of day I had around 30-35% left on the watch with always on screen turned off. I was happy with this as it seemed decent for a day of use without having to worry about usage.

I purchased the Droid turbo 2 day of release and have noticed a dramatic increase of battery life on the watch. As much as 3-4x as longer. End of day I now have 60-65% left on the watch with no changes to usage. Any one else experienced this or have reasoning to why a such dramatic increase occurred?

Prolly bluetooth 4.0+ low energy? Just taking a wild guess
[Asus ZenWatch 2] exninja:
Used my watch from 9am to 10pm yesterday, ended with 70% left. Shut it off overnight, back on at 630am. It is now 330pm and I have 49%. "Always-on" is off, been connected to BT entire time. Phone is a Nexus 5. I disabled Google Fit on the phone and watch (don't care about it) and that seems to have helped the battery on my phone and watch a LOT. I'm very pleased with the battery performance!

[Asus ZenWatch 2] pankaj554:
If you want to increase the battery life,then there are many options for that. such decrease brightness of the mobile. wireless off,Bluetooth off, put some time of silent mode.
[Asus ZenWatch 2] player911:
Ive only had this watch about a week now. I have a LG G4. I have the screen always on and use Ambient mode. I use Styler and have Ambient mode set to 5 seconds. Disabled WiFi. Brightness set to 3.

I get about the same great battery life as from my LG G Watch. However because of the side button, what I do is double tap the screen to turn off the screen while I sleep and charge. Nice to keep the glare down. I also disable Bluetooth while at home and not wearing the watch. This has nothing to do with battery life, but just comparing.

I haven't disabled or enabled any Apps like fit. I keep location disabled on my phone. I think this prevents weather updates and some other Google Now notifications. 100% at 8am, its 1pm now and its at 88%. 12% in 5 hours. Pretty normal/heavy use. Lots of messenger and work/personal emails.
[Asus ZenWatch 2] cproaudio:

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Talabis:
Hi all,

I have a Galaxy S5 (SM-G900W8) Canadian model. I purchased a 128GB sd card and I'm running into some issues. My S5 can detect the card, and I can copy files to it. But it seems that one I hit roughly 8.08GB of used storage, anything more I add disappears after my phone reboots.

The card was formatted in FAT32 originally. I have tried exFAT but the phone is unable to read the card in this file format. I have also tried NTFS but same results as exFAT.

I have done some research and have seen others with issues regarding 64 and 128GB sd cards with Samsung Galaxy models, but no fix yet (or at least from what I've seen/read).

This card only seems to work in FAT32, but I am unable to use the full capacity of the 128GB sd card in FAT32.

I have a 32GB sd card that works just fine without issues. Not sure what file table the 32GB card is formatted in though as I did not know of this issue until recently when I discovered it so never bothered to check.

Is there a fix for this that I have not found yet? This is quite annoying.

Thanks

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] escribblings:
I wasn't sure if I should post this in DevDB, so please move if I got it wrong (sorry).

Now, onto the nitty gritty.

I wish to create an Android app that allows 2 people to play a game via email, messenger, facebook, etc... The App should standalone from any other app.

I do not have the skills to program for AI, and I am going to have to seek permission from the holders of the rights to make this public, hence why I am being a little guarded about some of the details.

Basics - What It MUST Be Able To Do

Represent a "chess like" board. (It is actually larger than a chess board, and a different shape, but uses the same checker pattern).

Be able to add, move or remove playing pieces.

Ideal Minimum - What I Would Also Like It To Do.

Keep track of the number of each sides playing pieces in play/captured.

Keep track of whose turn it is.

Be able to highlight the spaces a piece can be moved to based on position and pieces around it.

Optional Extras - What I Would Also Like It To Do, But Can Live Without

Prevent illegal moves.

Prevent movement of the wrong side.

Automatically capture pieces.

Move by co-ordinates (i.e. A3-C6)

There are only 3 types of playing pieces, 2 ways of moving and 3 ways of capturing, so in that sense it is only slightly more complicated than draughts, and no where near as complicated as chess - and doesn't have any rules about having to move or block specific pieces (i.e. checking the king).

In it's most basic element it would just be a background image with freely movable sprites floating above it. Ideally they would "snap" to some sort of grid.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snuernberg:
Using Google Calendar on the 6P, if I have a conference call number with a PIN listed next to it, it will not dial the PIN. Worked flawlessly on my old phone (Note 3 using Touchwiz). Others having this issue?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pingeyeg:
I'm having the same issue, but it actually is hitting the PIN, but it dials the numbers so fast the phone doesn't acknowledge it. I have found a workaround, but I'm really looking forward to Google fixing this. The workaround is: 123.123.1234,,1,2,3,4,5,#. This forces the phone to pause so that the number is properly captured.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pingeyeg:
I have a Nexus 6P and have tried every conference app the store has, but none of them work because the Nexus dials the PIN too quickly. Hopefully there will be an update soon that will fix this issue. I'm starting to miss my iPhone just because of this feature. I use it quite often.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrostIsEternal:
Well, let me start from the beginning.

Im from Israel, and I bought a used Nexus 5, I've been warned that the phone doesn't get any reception and thought I could fix it somehow.

So while checking up the phone, I noticed its a D820 model Nexus, so I checked it up online and read its a US model and works only with their LTE bands, while there's a D821 model which works on rest of the world's LTE bands.

So while searching up online how to fix my problem so I will get those LTE bands worked on my D820, I've came across guide to enable some LTE bands (3 and 7 to be specific), and still trying that up..

But a thought came up my mind and I would like to know your opinion about it:

while checking up the 2 model specs, I noticed that both of them share the same specs and the only difference between them is their transceiver using other LTE bands, so theoretically speaking, if I place a D821 model motherboard in my D820 phone, I will get the reception and "transform" it to a D821 model?

so perhaps I could buy a used D821 which his owner broke his LCD screen or something, buy it cheaply and replace the 2 motherboards and my nexus will work as a D821 and get that reception is so desperately need?

By the way, if someone has a better walkthrough of how to get those LTE bands on the D820 and save me some cash, I will be honored to get a helpful PM.

I will be glad if someone with experience\knowledge will inlight my eyes.

thanks in advance!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jms_209:
I wanted to know if any of you have an M4 Aqua or Xperia Z, so i can know if it's a good "upgrade"

My Xperia Z does almost everything I want, but has terrible battery life.

My main problem is that my internet/4g keeps saying I have no connection, even though I do.

I've had issues where I can load say xda developers site, but not any other site. I find it very weird that I can load only on site, but trying to load anything else says I have no connection.

Other times I turn on data and I can't access/load some webpages. It can be the same location, but sometimes I loads and others it doesn't.

Another issue is the "No sim card" error I get from time to time. It looks to have gone away, but not sure.

Xperia M4 Aqua looks good on paper at $200-$250.

Main reason I'm interested is because it's unlocked already and has Band 12 for tmobile!

Screen is 720p, but I can deal with it honestly.

Looks like a cheaper Xperia Z3, which I like.

S4 Pro(Z) vs SD 615(Aqua)

S4 pro likely has raw power, but is SD 615 is likely more efficient.(maybe faster)

Any recommendations for under $250 and preferably have band 12?

So do you think this is a worthwhile upgrade? Any better options?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codfx:
Search for Xiaomi Mi4i.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jms_209:
I've heard of them, but don't I have to import them?

Since they're not released in the US.

Rather have a phone that I can buy here and has tmobile LTE speeds.

I saw this:

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/sony-xp...lack/4346600.p?id=1219734737974&skuId=4346600

Looks decent for 5.5 1080p phone.

Also can get G2 or G3 for that price range.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetsuo55:
This can be fixed in 3 ways:

1. Using a custom rom and/or using apps like amplify and greenify

2. Replacing the battery with a new one

3. Replacing your sim card

The first thing you should do here is get a new sim card. sounds like yours is broken or outdated.

You can also try upgrading your baseband to the newest version

Finally a custom rom and/or kernel could clean up the remaining issues.

You should be able to unlock your phone with relative ease and at the very least for cheaper than buying a new one.

Also you can probably unlock band12 with the instructions available elsewhere on the forum, these explain how to open all the bands on the radio.

I can't comment on the M4 itself since i have no idea.

TLDR: Replace your sim card
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jms_209:
Like I said the sim issue stopped completely, I just took out the sim and put it back in. No problems.

One thing I can't fix is battery draining 1-2% a minute with screen on using 4g. I always turn off data when not in use, I am trying to save as much battery.

I've had issues with data not working when it's on.

Example, xda sometimes says I have no connection. It's a lie, since another app pulls data fine. The weird issue when no websites load in any browser because no connection, but Facebook/email/YouTube work.

Honestly I just want something that can get through a day of moderate use.

10:30 am to 12:30 pm, 1-2 hour of music,15-30 min. using data screen on. Battery is usually at 70-80% by then in 2 hours of light use.

2:00 pm to 3:00, hour long video,720p. Drains like 15-30% of battery.

Watch 15 ninute YouTube video at 720p,drains like 5-15%.

The screen and data/lte on this are not efficient, which is the main problem for me.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetsuo55:
That 4g drain could still be related to your sim card, if its more than 2 years old i would get it replaced.

It sounds to me like you are suffering from the regular mobileactive and/or play services drain.

I suggest you install this rom: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/development/rom-official-sony-lollipop-5-1-1-t3196237

And then follow the instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/android/general/guide-extreme-battery-life-t3095884

Hello guys

my problem started when I tried to upgrade from 4.4.2 (KitKat) to 5.0.1 (lollipop), I tried first to upgrade using Kies but I just didn't work it recognized my phone and downloaded the firmware but couldn't install, so I went to the other option "odin" I flashed the firmware for my region for my phone yet when it turned on I had a very week signal.

when I tried going back to kitkat I had no service at all and lost my IMEI and baseband, then I tried different regions of lollipop and kitkat, but still nothing, and I thought I lost my IMEI and that I need to write it manually using this box (I don't remember its name) until yesterday when I flashed a Turkish kitkat which restored my IMEI and baseband but still no service, then I backed up my efs folder and went on trying every modem in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2192025

I tried everyone of them some gave me "no service" others "emergency calls only" and a third group didn't even recognize the sim card however all of them changed my IMEI to either NULL or the fake IMEI.

now I tried to restore my esf folder but it didn't work, so I thought to re-flash the Turkish firmware (which retrieved my IMEI and serial) but also didn't work and now I still have a fake IMEI which is weird because it worked before.

I tried every method every solution and nothing worked

I even contacted Samsung who told me that it cannot be fixed in Europe cause it is an international model and has to be fixed from where it was bought (Jordan)
