[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da-fox:
I have both phones right in front of me right now..... and I prefer the LG G3.

Out of the box... the G3 has a nicer firmware with a LOT more options.

On the other hand, Motorolla has Marshmallow updates.

Pros LG G3

- much better camera, even if less pixels, the image quality is a lot clearer and less grainy. The laser focus helps a lot.

-better screen resolution (quad HD)

- more RAM (3Gb)

- removable battery

- 32gb of space

- to me, i feel the LG g3 feels less cheap than the motorolla, specially the buttons on the side of the motorolla feels cheap. Also dont like the fake leather back cover.

- phone speaker is louder. (not the loudspeaker)

-more cases and accessories atm. Lots of custom roms, easy to root and stuff.

Pros Moto X play

- brighter screen, more vibrant colors

- better battery life, but its also a bigger battery (but its non removable)

- 21mp camera in 4:3 mode..... but its very grainy. It has better low light performances than the G3 a little... but again... the result is VERY grainy.

- loudspeaker is louder than G3 but not as nice sounding

- good front camera

- bigger 8 core CPU

- faster in some apps, but not in everything.

So yeah.... I made my choice on the LG for the more customizable interface out of the box and the much better camera.

Other than that..... really similar phone. Performance are both nice and fast. they both have some apps they perform better than the other but cant really give a winner there.

I had to reset only once after updating to 6.0. Since then it's working fine. The lags are no more in 6.0.

Also sd615 has newer architecture so doesnt mean, it's better. It's still a mid range chip (615) and Motorola did the right thing by not providing the 64 but software. G3's maybe an old chip but that was a flagship chip and still is which has better performance than this newer chip.

[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeeahnick:
I also had the same dilema. Went with the Moto X Play and a month later I know I made the right choice. Amazing design, great screen, amazing battery life and stock android is WAY WAY WAY better then LG`s nasty UI. Oh am I am getting updates haha.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bablu048:
obviously MXP , how many phones out there give 10hours of SOT and that's with dual sim ??

I will gladly trade a few cores for extra SOT.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeanca:
Hey I thought I'd give my thoughts. I've owned both and I gotta say although I loved the G3, after having the battery life of the x play I could not go back. As far as the slowing down if you are in XDA and flashing roms then that's not something I would be too concerned with in the near future (say 2 years). I also found no matter which rom I used on the G3 it seemed to want to overheat a lot. Just my thoughts, hope it helps.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gekkeman:
Could you tell me something about what roms exactly are?
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeanca:
I see them as operating systems for the phone, think of the equivalent of different versions of Windows for your phone (XP, Windows 7, or 10) they key here is that they are somewhat personalized and give you different looks and functions that perhaps your stock experience wouldn't. An example of this is better battery life, or options such as changing the look of the whole user experience. They also, and for the most part, enhance your phones capabilities(responsiveness and security) and give you quicker updates than lg or Motorola would. Hope this helps.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gekkeman:
You're absolutely right. I've made up my mind and decided to go with the Moto. All I have to do now is find a carrier that meets my needs, order the phone and enjoy it;s great features, one of which is the great SOT! :)
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bablu048:
exactly, i brought this phone for its battery and this reminds me of the good old days of Nokia, battery lasted forever. I wanted a mobile phone not a landline. don't know what's happening now a days, OEM's are piling cores upon cores for performance and doing nothing about the battery. what good is alien-ware if it has no battery!!!

I think you're making the right choice.

I don't understand why people want a 4k screen on their smartphone.You must have very good eyes to see the difference on such a small screen compared with a 1080p screen.4k was designed for huge tv screens (movie cinema) so you won't see any pixels.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfviwerbnv:
First of all, I *cannot* lose my data. But for obvious privacy and security reasons I *don't* keep Google Sync enabled.

I have a rooted, but stock 5.1.1 T-Mobile Note4. Custom recovery (honestly don't recall if it's TWRP or CWM, I don't use it often). At one point I turned the phone off (actual *off*, not screen lock), but now when I try to turn it on, it refuses to allow it and says "Custom binary blocked by FRP". Same problem when I try to boot into recovery, too. I can only boot into download mode, but attempting to flash the stock 5.1.1 firmware or the stock recovery just simply fails. It just won't allow it.

If I boot into download mode, connect it to my computer via USB, and do "adb devices", no devices show up.

Need help!!!! I need my phone and my data!!!!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steven.rn:
It's a real pain in the butt.... I just went through this 10 minutes ago. The problem: "Custom binary blocked by FRP" - or, FRP lock.

The answer is: get the phone into download mode and use ODIN to flash the stock DOK2 tar image.

It works. Not elegant, but I don't think there is any way round this. No way to use ADB that I can figure, but ODIN will work.

Once you get back up and running, make sure to go into settings and enable developer options. When you get there, allow USB debugging and click on the "bootloader unlock" option. That will keep FRP from screwing you up again.

If you need a more detailed explanation, let me know- but that's the skeleton of the fix. Once you get running again you can set up the phone the way you want it.

Cheers! (argh)

Get the Odin file here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087008345 (N910T3UVU1DOK2_N910T3TMB1DOK2_TMB.zip)

Unzip the file and it will end in ....tar.md5 Just knock off the .md5 so that it simply ends up as .... .tar, and use "AP" placeholder in Odin.

PS: way important.... the above TAR is for the N910T3 - if you have the N910T, There's a different ODIN file, easy to find.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfviwerbnv:
That's what I did when I tried to flash the stock rom before, ODIN tried for a few seconds and then bailed out with a failure.

However, I had no idea there was such a thing as a N910T3, or that there were two T-Mobile models of Note4. The rom I tried to flash before was for N910T (the only T-Mobile Note4 I knew existed). Sure enough, I popped out my battery, looked at the specs, and my device is a N910T3. Downloading that rom now. Fingers crossed it will work this time.

That *might* also explain a mystery glitch I had been experiencing, but had resolved to just live with: About 10-20% of the time the device would load an image (in any app, system or third party, from gallery or downloaded by the app..didn't seem to matter), random parts of the image would be corrupted - usually obscured by green lines (note, this is NOT the camera issue other people have experiences, but the results look very similar). One of the first things I did when I got the phone was root it (one of the reasons I went to T-Mobile, b/c Verizon's Note4's apparently can't be rooted). But if the root I installed was for N910T and not my N910T3 then maybe that might explain those glitches...or so I hope.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steven.rn:
Yup.... make sure you get the right flavor of ROM or stock files. I think some devs might have roms that work with either version. But that's the first thing to check, if it's compatible.

Once I reflashed my wifey's phone, I ODIN'ed in the stock twrp recovery TAR file, then got into the recovery and flashed supersu 2.64 in a zip. Rooted, working fine, done (YaY)

BTW, once you flash SU in recovery, when you go to reboot, TWRP will say "hey, do you wanna root with SU?" DONT DO IT- just let it go to boot up. It will be there.

Let me know how things turn out; I don't think you'll have any surprises. It took me about an hour and a half to make sure I had the right solution fer shurrrre, so I think I saved you some time.

You always this lucky? :highfive:

Cheers,

Steven.RN

PS on an odd note, I dumped all my Verizon phones (5 lines) because I couldn't root my Verizon Note 4. Got rid of the VZW Note 4 for a T-mobile Note 4. Looks like we both went the same way! Verizon lost years and years of my business over this ;)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfviwerbnv:
Yep, that turned out to be the problem. Device is a N910T3, I had the stock 5.1.1 rom for the N910T, that's why flashing with ODIN was being blocked. Grabbed the stock 5.1.1 rom for the correct variant, N910T3, and ODIN and the phone were both happy. No factory reset or warranty repair necessary!

Thanks soooo much for the tip!

Unfortunately that image-loading glitch is still there even though I haven't re-rooted yet (now that I think about it, it's maybe more like 5%, and some images don't seem to be vulnerable. maybe it's like a weird bad build of libjpeg or something, I dunno) Well, that's a mystery for another time.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. (Don't remember offhand what exactly I did there before.)

Nah, I'm just one stubborn SOB, and once in a while it actually pays off ;)

Yea. There were actually several reasons I jumped Verizon -> T-Mobile, but that was one of them. Little over two years ago when I got an S3, all the lockouts from Samsung/Google/Verizon were so heavy it wound up bricking within the first couple weeks (complications trying to downgrade an OTA update I didn't want - long story). Anyway, trying to get a proper working replacement took them several tries (one replacement was DOA, another wasn't even a Samsung at all, let alone the right model) and just trying to even communicate with them at all was like having a roundtable with a cage of chimps. (just one example, I couldn't convince them there really were different models of any phone, like the S3, between different carriers, dev versions etc. Nevermind that I'm a career programmer, I couldn't possibly know what I'm talking about ;) ) Plus Verizon's so much more expensive, and T-Mobile just strikes me as a vastly more level-headed pro-consumer company overall. And with the new Band 12 (the reason I got Note4 instead of Note3, oddly enough), their network's been every bit as good as Verizon's for me anywhere I've taken it.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShrekOpher:
Flashing DOK2 firmware via Odin will wipe internal memory.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfviwerbnv:
Doing that didn't wipe internal memory for me (Odin 3.10.6). It did unroot my phone and I'm sure it probably reset my recovery image back to stock (didn't actually try booting into recovery again yet), but all my data was still 100% intact. And not just the data on the "external" SD but also all user data on the internal storage. (It never wiped user data for me on my old S3 or Nexus S either, but maybe the wiping after flashing is just a newer thing?)

Maybe it only wipes internal memory if you're flashing a different version of android? I was simply flashing 5.1.1 overtop rooted 5.1.1.

Hi everyone, just upgraded to WM6 like many of you. Many thanks to helmi_c and his team

I'm wondering if the radio needs to be upgraded as mine is probably 3year + old.

I'm currently running radio 1.12.00

I live in Hong Kong and use Smartone Vodaphone

I thoguht it be a great idea to post what radio you are using and where your from so that everyone will know which radio suits their country's network provider best.

thanks for the help in advance,

Kind regards,

i just downloaded the file, its a exe.

do i just run it and not follow the instructions from the wiki? because the wiki says there are 2 files, i'm guessing this is old?

furthermore is there a need to update the bluetooth stack radio?

thanks in advance for replies and help.

kind regards
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] jasonchiu:
thanks for the upload again.

however, i get the error 120 country ID error.

it says that the rom is not designed to work with my device and i should check the vendors website :S

it is cause i've updated to windows mobile 6?

does anyone know how to get around this?

any help will be highly appriciated.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tele_jas:
I recently tried a few different mods I found, each had pro's and cons...

Viper | ATMOS (Dolby)

Viper | Maxx Audio

Viper | Beats

These had a significant effect on my battery life, not sure if it was the Viper part of the other part of the mod??

With the Dolby ATMOS, I liked it when I finally got the Dolby EQ set, but it's pretty hard to dial in. You'll be really close and touch the EQ, to fine tune it, and everything close to where you touch just jumped around and changed a lot.

The other issue I had, I have PowerAmp as my default player and have it set up really good..... When I would open PowerAmp, all audio mods would stop working until I reboot the phone. The only work around was to turn off all of PowerAmps audio processing and let the mods handle it, which I don't think sounded as good as PowerAmp, but make everything else sound better.

Just curious... Is there a good audio mod out there that is battery friendly?? How about one that doesn't stop when using PowerAmp?

By powerAMP EQ I meant, just for the music, not system wide. After going through default FX and viperAudio (I never liked it) to work with my DI.FM and other media application, I decided to get a hardware DAC+AMP.

If you're not into huge bulky dac+amp, you could get your hands on FiiO K1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0189EVGAG

It's an exceptional device with capabilities for just 40$. Works great with provided OTG Cables, but I got a single Type-C to Micro-USB so I don't have to worries about adapters/connectors.

Affected system:

Android Lollipop 5.x.x/Marshmallow 6.x.x

Affected device(s):

All Moto G (1st, 2nd and 3rd gen) with Magnetic Flip Cover (+ All Nexus devices)

Issue:

With Flip Cover closed and being turned on "Also Vibrate for Calls" option phone vibrates only once for incoming calls

Result:

Many missed calls.

Diagnosis:

It seems to be related to the Magnetic Sensor Mechanism and Automatic Screen On/Off Feature.

This issue has also been reported to the AOSP action tracker, but no one seems to care.

There is also a workaround described, but I am not a programmer / developer.
