I'll just leave this here: http://www.xda-developers.com/bye-bye-moto-motorola-is-going-to-be-phase-out/ . That's a big loss, I don't know any other cellphone manufacturer shipping good AOSP pure Android phones. Obviously, Nexus will still be there but they do not support microsd card and they offer less choices. There is no middle range Nexus phone and nothing comparable to the Moto G, they only offer expensive top of the lines phones.

Anyway, I think Lenovo is shooting itself in the foot, rather than letting Motorola go, they should've removed Lenovo branded cellphone. Maybe Lenovo phones are more popular somewhere in the world, but they are almost invisible in North America. Since Motorola is already a good established brand and Lenovo own them, it wouldn't be any costlier to keep it while killing Lenove branding in cellphone.
[X Play General] Chaotic-Entropy:
The power of Motorola was in their patents really, in terms of their historical significance. Which, I assume, Google kept hold of when they sold the Motorola Mobility business to Lenovo. In any case, this announcement doesn't change what Lenovo has been doing with the business for the past year and a bit and continues to do.

Motorola is really just a middle man now considering it's not the phone range brand, Moto, and not the name of the overall company producing the device, Lenovo. The "Moto X Something" from Motorola via Lenovo, isn't exactly catchy.

Lenovo to get rid of the Motorola Branding

Sad to see even though i doubt it will have much influence on the MXP

[X Play General] fr3d0x:
UPDATE: Here is the official statement from Motorola on this naming situation.

"Motorola Mobility continues to exist as a Lenovo company and is the engineering and design engine for all of our mobile products. However, for our product branding we will utilize a dual brand strategy across smartphone and wearables going forward using Moto and Vibe globally. “Motorola” hasn’t been used on our products since the launch of the original Moto X in 2013."

[X Play General] Nico3d3:
I agree that Motorola by Lenovo wouldn't be quite sexy but, the biggest loss will be the distinctive experience we have with Motorola phones. Even after Google sold it, they continued to offer that experience with distinctive features. Of course, they have pure AOSP Android but with added things which are useful and not just bloatware. Also, they have that no fuss approach to cellphones, like on the Moto G. No useless features, no big fuss but still, a solid device offered at a low range price with decent performances. That's something you won't see on a low range Samsung. Losing that approach will be a great loss, I saw example of Lenovo cellphones using Google search and they have an added UI skin so they have more bloatware.

I think, the mistake from Motorola, in 2015, was to sell too many different products, they should've concentrated on one low range, one middle range and one top of the line. The Moto X Play is still great even with its few defaults, but the presence of the Moto X Pure and Moto X Style add too much choice. Big company like Samsung can afford to flood the market with all kind of models but, Motorola should've kept a small comprehensible line of product since they aren't that big, compared to Samsung.
[X Play General] meisanerd:
There is hope, though, that the Lenovo stuff gets cleaned up. A couple of the articles have mentioned that the only thing that is disappearing is the Motorola name, and that all of the Lenovo cell phones will be brought under the current Motorola division (as opposed to having all of the Moto ones under Lenovo one), so maybe all of the Vibe phones will be cleaned up and be more AOSP-like, in the same way the current Moto ones are. My interpretation of what I am reading is that Motorola will be making the Lenovo cell phones under the Lenovo brand, and that the low-end ones will be sold as Lenovo Vibes, and the high-end ones will be Lenovo Motos.
[X Play General] Chaotic-Entropy:
Well sheesh, you make it sound like Lenovo have taken Motorola Mobility and put a bullet in the head of every product engineer and designer. They've changed their product branding and continue to own Motorola Mobility as it's phone engineering section. They haven't burned down the building with the doors barred, I'm sure their products won't suddenly flip in quality and ethos. If anything, this will be an attempt to improve the Lenovo brand by bringing the quality Motorola products under their umbrella properly and continuing in that vein, seeing as Moto are more popular than their Vibe products.

I could be too optimistic, but I don't really see this as a death knell. They appropriately targeted the various different pricing points, 3 phones in the same range isn't extreme by any count. They aren't Apple they can't just crank up a number or add a letter each year. :P

Further clarification from Lenovo.

[X Play General] mgolder:
This is not really half as bad as some people want to make out. It is literally a slight name change.... One that has basically been in use since 2013 anyway.

Moto will be the higher end brand of Lenovo, and Vibe will be the 'lower' brand of Lenovo. Pretty much nothing changes for end users. It would be a near suicidal business decision to tamper with the software in Moto phones away from a 99.9% stock experience, and while stranger things have happened, I doubt Lenovo are that stupid.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insertmynamethere:
Hey guys, I just got into the new CM13 nightlies and I have an issue with Snapchat and all voice recording related tasks. It seems that whenever I make a recording of sound, the volume is very low on the recording. I know there is sound because when I make a recording of myself blowing in the mic, I can hear the sound of the air and when I make a recording of loud music, I can hear it faintly. The same applies for Snapchat video recording.

Does anyone have this issue and can anyone fix this?
[Fire Android Development] Pond-life:
Confused as to why you'd post this here after using the correct forum section for the HD8 and 10 already.
[Fire Android Development] nyln:
I was not sure whether it was the correct forum actually, it is stable enough to use for all versions of Fire now, so I posted for users who do not want to root their device, but hate the launcher. If you think it is in the wrong place I will remove it promptly. I actually did post this in the wrong spot.. It is in development instead... At least there will not be any flaming here :)

I have also noticed 6x more downloads in 1/5 of the time this thread has been posted compared to the other.
[Fire Android Development] nyln:
I have updated with a new method that is much better, the only negative to this new method is when you hit the home button, for a brief moment you see the firelauncher. Performance, speed, and bugs are perfect.

Just paste this code in adb shell, I'm working on setting up nohup to work with it, when you close adb it will stop working.. Going to bed for now though.

#!/bin/bash
am monitor | while read -r line; do
if [[ $line == *"firelauncher"* ]]
then
am start [B]com.newlauncher.launcher[/B]

[Fire Android Development] nyln:
I finally found a permanent solution to how to change fire launcher on the Amazon Fire without root. It works on any version (FireOS 5.3.1) on any tablet variant (7, HD 8, HD 10 etc...).

You can read the detailed tutorial at http://xdaforums.com/amazon-fire/development/tut-remove-default-launcher-amazon-fire-t3288310 but basically you run one command, must be done after reboot currently via adb shell:

Noval Launcher on Amazon Fire no-root:

nohup logcat -c; logcat | grep --line-buffered 'flg=0x10200000 cmp=com.amazon.firelauncher/.Launcher' | while read line; do am start com.teslacoilsw.launcher/.NovaLauncher; done &

That's it. Once you paste that into your adb shell you're done; you now have a default launcher programmatically set via ADB.

Optionally, you can install the modded firelauncher.apk so you can finally delete it without root :).

Thanks for your support guys, I love android!

Here is a teaser of my application:

You are already inside adb shell, type exit then type it again silly :)

Hi,

I have Nexus 5 and was running good with Marshmellow and suddenly one day the screen started scrolling up. Restart or factory reset did not help. While starting the boot logo was also corrupted and I use to get is display with random pixels lit with different colors, mostly white and red. So have tried different bootloaders and even downgrading to 4.4.4 but the issue is still there.

Called up Google and LG as well. Since device is not under warranty now, it is going to cost for repair. So would like to know if there is any solution to this problem before I try the repair or give on this device.

Appreciate any suggestions. Thank you,

Sandeep.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Was the phone ever dropped? It's possible that there is a loose connection inside the phone. I suggest removing the back and inspecting the phone's internal components and connections.

If everything appears fine, it could be A problem with the lcd of motherboard, neither of which is cheap to repair. I suggest trying to find a used nexus 5, either with a smashed screen and working internal components or one with a working screen and damaged internals to troubleshoot your own phone.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stockings:
So I have been struck by the G4's evil bootloop problem. After the first reboot it never ended up booting into the OS again and after about 30 minutes of trying to get it to the recovery menu it wouldn't turn on at all. So I sent it in to LG to get repaired (they said they replaced the board chipset) and I just got it back - two minutes later it does the random shutoff thing and now we're back to bootlooping. So I'm not really sure that they did anything at all other than flashing it, which makes me every so slightly more hopeful for what I'm trying to do. This time, however, I am consistently able to get into download mode.

The goal of this, and I absolutely realize this is a very, very long shot, is to get a bitwise copy of the internal memory onto the SD card, then do some file recovery magic to get a few pictures back. The most important ones are in other locations, but I guess I have some extra time on my hands. Well.... I don't really, but I like messing around with this stuff. I've done a bunch of recovery work on regular computer hard drives, which is why I'm hoping this is a possibility. (Yes, I know it's probable they replaced the internal storage if they actually replaced the motherboard.) If not, well, I've learned a lot, so whatever.

So where does unrooted download mode get me? Not far it seems. I can get the Send_Command.exe to connect reliably. So in theory I should be able to do something along the lines of

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/path/to/sdcard

but this isn't really working, well, at all.

The good news is that I think it sees the sd card, because with a

cat /proc/partitions

is see

mmcblk1

and

mmcblk1p1

- which I imagine is the external SD card. (I'm pretty sure about that actually, since removing the sd card has the mmcblk1* vanish)

I'm not able to access it however, and an ls on /storage/external_SD/ returns blank, even though I dropped a few test files on it.

I did read that you could potentially get access to the SD card by editing something in /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml, but that is pretty much the end of what I've found - I'm not quite sure how to edit that over send_command either to be honest. I suppose you could try something like

echo "all the text" > /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml

but I tried testing that on a sample text file - it didn't work - and that's sadly the limit of my knowledge.

Any ideas? Did I miss something obvious here?

If you have a voltage meter handy and a good LG G4 or G3 battery help me out. So i have a water damaged G4 and it boots up into the OS sometimes, very low percentage of the time for a very short time. On a hunch i figured it was battery the problem and ordered a new one. After placing the order i decided to check out the current one.

There are 4 gold plates that serve as the connection for the phone/battery. One side is mark positive (+) and one side negative (-) obviously. So i set out with a voltage meter to test it........two on red and the other 2 on black and trying combinations. One of the positive connectors shows no reading with any combination. My brother's an amateur electrician and he says DC doesnt carry neutral wiring.......and i doubt that the battery would be grounded so............

If you have a voltage tester set it to DC and check it out for me if in fact the second positive (the one in the middle) shows voltage. Thanks:good: appreciate it :) :o

Unlocking your bootloader does not affect your eligibility for OTA

https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/91999/p/1449,8620

What does affect your OTA eligibility is your root and the custom recovery. First unroot using super su app and then flash stock recovery.

Am I right in assuming you are on stock ROM?
