I believe that it's for real cause it was just time for the Soak Test to begin as moto x style just got the official update and as both devices were launched together, probability was it was 2nd in line. ☺

After a soak test ota update, will there is an other ota update to final release ?

Indeed, I assume that the soak test confirms the software isn't too buggy or broken on a few users phones, if it isn't, it'll start rolling out. Any idea if the dual SIM SKU's of the X Play have to wait longer for the update like was the case with the 2014 Moto G dual Sim?

Just a warning to the guys who received the invitation, don't post if you did! One of the conditions to become a soaker is to say nothing about it. There's a term of confidentiality you need to a green in order to become a soaker, and forums like xda are a obvious target for Motorola check if you said you were selected. Just saying :)

[X Play General] fillonov:
It's very very strange, not to say stu... U just register account on imagin name and upload whatever you whant. What for you tell people that Moto will came for you.?..?
[X Play General] ToYeD:
That's the thing about any open source community, and one that Motorola will have to understand, it's that users who can't legitimately get their hands on distribution updates will find illegitimate ways of obtaining them. If Linus Torvalds stops maintaining the Linux kernel there is an entire community of developers who will continue updating it in his place. If Canonical stops supporting Ubuntu, there is an entire community that will step in and continue making unofficial updates for it. If CMTeam doesn't want to support a device Squid2 steps in and makes an unofficial branch which may become an official branch. That's just how open source communities work. Millions of people all making contributions of varying size and importance without any expectation of payment or even acknowledgement, only the hope that their contributions are for the betterment of all.
[X Play General] carl_oak:
Totally agree. That's why it's important not to say you were selected to maybe become a soaker, so then Motorola can actually release the update to you. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying not to share.

Hey guys,

Just received the phone and I'm tyring to sync some music but it won't send at all.

I keep getting "Sending failed. failed to send the tracks o your gear"

Pictures send fine.. just the music.

I have bluetooth on, wifi on, everything works fine except this music beeswax

ANy ideas?

[Samsung Gear S2] xJafo:
I have a similiar problem, but my phone shows the files were sent, but when I open the music player on the watch it only has the option to play music from phone. Even when I put it in standalone mode, there is no option to view/play local music. Interestingly, the storage indicates there are audio files on the watch. :(
[Samsung Gear S2] brentc133:
You need to connect a Bluetooth headset to your Gear S2. When connected to my Bluetooth headphones it gives me the option to play audio files from my watch or phone. When not connected to my headphones, it will only play files on my phone.

[XDA Assist] Droidriven:
Hello,

Welcome to XDA.

Have you tried factory resetting the device with the factory reset option in system settings? Have you tried booting to recovery and selecting the factory reset option and the wipe cache option? You may be able to do this and then when the device reboots you may be able to set the Samsung Account up in your name/email address, it may give you the option of creating a new account.

Try posting your question in the forum linked below.

[Hardware Hacking General] tangbunna:
Hi all hardware mod experts/hobbyists.

As we are all moderate to heavy phone users, we need a phone with a good battery life that won't die before evening. However, everyone seems stick to a hone that could work with screen on less than 6hrs, even 3000mah won't help much.

Now, I want to add 1 or 2 more batteries connect in parallel to my current stock batteries. I hope it would multiply the juice, however I would concern about Charging Voltage, safety charging current from Charging IC inside the phone, and Charging Duration. Of cause, adding extra battery will make your phone Fat, ugly and heavy but we have better battery life.

battery type : norminal voltage of Li-ion 3.6v or 3.7v, Li-Po 3.8v and some other battery even mention 3.9v or 4.0v .

Full charge :4.2v.

Charge voltage 4.2v

Current : depend on the phone

duration = capacity / current

Please upload your modified phone by add extra batteries, with your usage experience.

[Hardware Hacking General] motasim masood:
Yep.... It is better to use power bank.... To embed 2 or more batteries may give better time but looks too odd...

???
[Hardware Hacking General] joseph berroa:
I'd recommend to if you're gonna add another battery do it with another of the same type because phone Power Manangment IC could have troubles trying to read two or three, if wanted, different batteries, in some cases they have different data read pins(the ones that are not positive and negatives)
[Hardware Hacking General] BaronMarshal:
If connecting batteries, they should be same voltage and amperage. To get longer run times at the same voltage you connect both positive together, and both negatives together. If they are the same, lets say 3000 mah, then you while get 6000mah. Approximately twice the run time. If one battery is 1500mah, and the other is 3000mah, then you will only get 3000mah when they are connected. They will both only charge to 1500mah, or the lower amperage. If you connect the batteries from one positive to the other negative, on a 3.2 volt battery, then you will double the voltage to 6.4volts and blow out circuits on your device. Personally, I carry solar charged battery packs. I also have an AGM battery for a lawnmower that is 300amps, which will charge my phone for weeks. Any questions feel free to ask. I was a yacht mechanic, so I had to install and fix DC and AC portable power systems.
[Hardware Hacking General] Annoyingmouse:
You better try some software optimization to get a better battery life,like a custom ROM & kernel, root your device,a good app for battery & performance boost which personaly use is called greenfy and it realy improves the battery life by hibernating apps,anyway 3000 mAh should be enough for most phones and better you lose your warranty rooting it,not trying to burn your phone's circuits with other batteries :)

Hi ! got 5000mah battery installed on my OP3, but it still says OP_3000mah.. How to modify this? Does this need to be rooted? Thanks!
[Hardware Hacking General] winlocker:
Hi,

I recently did this to a Samsung Galaxy A3 2016 that I had multiple units of. One had a good screen and a battery, but the board was dead. The other one had a dead LCD and no battery. I turned them into one.

All you need to do is make sure that the voltage of the batteries is about the same, and then just solder the + of the first one to the + of the second one and the - of the first one to the - of the second one. Make sure to solder it to the pins beyond the battery controller, so that the second battery doesn't overheat or expand. Then just insert/solder the whole thing into the phone. DON'T use cells without a charge controller.View attachment 5236509View attachment 5236511View attachment 5236513View attachment 5236515

This is what I did with the housing afterwards. I screwed 2 separate frames together, which allowed me to house the second battery with no problem. No glue was used and this is very solid.

The pictures are old, I later put a camera lens on it and a new back. I also got a separate NFC antenna, which I stuck on the top battery since the original antenna is on the bottom one.

I hope this helps.
[Hardware Hacking General] winlocker:
And as for the battery capacity being displayed in the phone, I'm sure most applications such as AccuBattery or Ampere just display the capacity according to the model of the phone. I know that phones CAN measure the voltage of the battery (or batteries in our case), but I'm not entirely sure about phones being able to measure the capacity of the battery on their own. I know my modded phone displays 2300mAh despite the actual capacity being around 4400mAh after the mod.

[General Questions and Answers] neonflash:
hi wondering if anyone can help with a pretty noobish question.

I have an ee kestrel (huawei g535 l-11) and also a huawei ascend p6

been using the kestrel as a temp replacement whilst I had to send away the p6 for repair. anyway so it has 8gb memory, that's what the phone advertises but now i'm finding out it only actually has 2gb of storage for apps the rest is just for music etc pretty pointless when i could just put all music photos etc on a sd card but whatever.

Now i'm looking at getting a new phone (huawei p8 lite to name one of my options) my only issue is that all i can seem to find being advertised is the total memory of the phone and no representation of how much of that memory can actually be used for storing apps.

it's unfortunate the the kestrel doesnt allow you to move apps to an sd card therefore making it more frustrating. I think some phones you can do this.

Either way before I invest in a new phone I would like to know how much of the total memory is actually available for app storage. it's all very well to for out on a 32gb phone but no use if i'm still stuck with only 2gb of app space. Is it possible to find out this information?

hope someone out there can shed some light. and again apologies if this has been asked before.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schlepprock:
Hi all, im wondering if different roms have any real correlation to call quality. Will rom quality affect call quality? Thanks..
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schlepprock:
Anyone?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
Are you referring to quality of connection or the sound at ear piece?

I think you may be referring to the volume and sound mods over-driving or distorting voices and sounds you hear in call and loudspeaker?

I use V4A and Dolby Atmos with freeza kernel so I'm using the gain of V4A to bring the levels down and use acoustic equalization mode for the ear piece. For those that use synapse with custom kernels, there's volume levels there as well.

I do believe I saw various build.prop edits that can possibly improve audio for calls in tx_dbs_tx and freeza ROMs but I haven't compared them closely or comparatively with others, just glancing.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schlepprock:
Thanks, yeah I'm referring to in call voice quality. When I'm talking to my wife on her Note5 or her office land line her voice is a little muffled and garbled, as in sometimes her words run together. My dispatcher is the same way on his iphone5. I use a high quality bluetooth headset. I just cant remeber if it did this before my current rom.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
I think that would be either the connection itself or your Bluetooth. I've had 2 Bluetooth sets and not impressed with Note 4 signal strength; music cuts out or drops momentarily but still sucks battery. But you could try another ROM or stock.

Are you using OJ6 modem? I've been updating mine and maybe there are slight improvements but no worse IMO.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schlepprock:
No I havent updated to oj6, I'm running [MENTION=2744265]sac23[/MENTION]s Note 5 port which was why I was wondering about the correlation between the rom and call quality. Maybe it was an unseen glitch..I was wondering if oj6 would be a solid build. As far as bluetooth,i stream sirius radio through my Frieghtliner head unit with no issues.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poit:
The stock rom offers personalized call sound, so there is clearly the ability to EQ the phone audio. Other ROMS may use different EQ curves.

Also, not all ROMs may support HD calling. If you've gotten an HD call you would know it, it's like listening to FM radio.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
Honestly I'm only running the OJ6 modem that freeza put together for Odin flash. Once flashed, expect phone to do one reboot without warning but seems fine.

I don't use the phone for calls much, mostly Wi-Fi calling which is pretty good and reliable.

I don't know about the ports but the custom stock ROMs basically leave phone and Bluetooth intact but add sound and volume mods. I would think the quality would only be impacted by gain set too high. EQ with V4A for supported headsets is excellent. The sound alive is good for optimizations like user's balance and hearing curve but IMO, V4A with standard volume balance on a supported Viper-DDC set is dope to my ears. Just sounds way better. I'm using the Panasonic RP-HJE120 wired headset for music; retails less than $6.

Question to all the Verizon Galaxy Nexus users. I recently cobbled together a Galaxy Nexus out of two broken phones (one with a busted digitizer and one that would not power on). I've noticed that the phone rarely connects to LTE in spite of the fact that I live and work in an area that has great LTE coverage. I'm attached screenshots with both the stock 4.2.2 as well as CyanogenMod 12.1 beta (DDK 1.9). At work the phone connects with EHRPD in spite of the fact that I can get a great LTE signal with both my VZW Galaxy S3 and Moto E LTE.

Anybody have any ideas what's going on? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
