[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3mptiness:
Hey there,

Yesterday my stock Moto G (xt1032) running android 5.1 bricked.

I started to browse the forums as well as a multitude of other ressources before posting. Nevertheless, I'd like to apologize if this topic has been covered before.

So far, it looks like all advice is directed to telephones that got root/got bricked through flashing and have installed some kind of custom recovery.

What happened:

My Moto G was working fine for years, but it wouldn't start an app, so I decided to reboot it.

It took quite a while to turn off.

And since than i can't boot it. It is stuck on the logo screen. No boot animation, no whatsoever.

I also can't turn it back off and have to remove the battery connector to do so. I cleared the cache partion from recovery, but that wouldn't help.

It charges fine.

Here is what i tried so far:

I installed all the drivers (at least i hope so) under windows 7 (64-bit). The Moto G is listed as falcon s in the windows control panel. The control panel indicates that it is working properly. I disabled my pc's firewall and virus scanner.

On the phone i can still get into the boot loader "fastboot (vers. 41.1A)" and from there into recovery. The device is locked.

Fastboot says "USB connected"

USB-debugging is disabled on the phone.

I tried to access the Moto G via adb in the bootloader, but i get a "device not found" error (EDIT: Ok, I just learned that I can only access the phone using fastboot in bootloader as ADB is for Recovery and within the OS usage).

I can access it in bootloader via fastboot, but that doesn't help me to get my data, aight?

I can enter recovery from bootloader, but ADB is not working there either (maybe due to USB-debugging being disabled)?.

All i want right now is to pull some important data. Can anyone tell me what to do?

Thanks for any advice!

my G4 will not record smooth video it always looks as if it is dropping frames and stuttering

have tried apps like cinema 4k and filmic pro but to no avail...is my phone faulty???
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billybob275:
Unfortunately its a known problem with the G4 itself. The OIS is too aggressive and causes the "jelly effect" on videos. At this time there's not a good way to disable it.

Okay, i'll make this simple as possible... I bought a chuwi vi10 pro tablet. Running android 4.4 and dual boot windows 8.

Everything works fine except when I have my external SD card in my tablet

This is what happens. Everything works PERFECT in windows with the 64 gb card.... Moving stuff and what not all works great on it... But when I dual boot to android, android says "SD card not recognized" which is FINE... I have 15 gb internal in android which is fine.... But when I got back to windows my external SD is now crashed and messed up because android recognized it.... I have tried this with 3 other SD cards.... Its definitely an android issue for some reason.

Now, I just want to either

- DISABLE sd card completely

- or some other fix around.... maybe tricking android into thinking there is an sd card in there? Fake mount?

I HAVE to keep my sd card IN the tablet, I can't remove it when switching operating systems.... I hope someone can help me out... I dont NEED EXTERNAL on android! I just want android to stop trying to see the card!

So i read somewhere that our phones are supposed to charge 60% in 15 minutes.

I tried a few scinerios to see how to get that to work:

I have two chargers, both turbo chargers one wired and one usb.

I tried both with phone having low battery around 15% and waited to get 60% took about 30-40 mins

I tried both with phone being fully discharged and off. Plugged in charger with it still off within the 15 minute time frame i got up to 40%.

Is this normal? or did i just misread this information somewhere? Each time i plugged in the charger it did say turbo charge.

Thanks guys
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PythonNut:
Some turbo chargers are faster than others. Did you test with the Turbopower 25 that comes with the MXP?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pl4life52:
Yup i used that one, I noticed the difference between that one and the usb one
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iNerdBR:
Yeah dude, never trust the info in the box! Mine dont charge 60% in 15 minutes
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pl4life52:
All right thanks for your response. Just wish they were honest about it, phone still charges way faster than any other phone I had so im pleased. Just wanted others response to make sure im not missing anything.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mimicuk:
I wondered if anyone could help me please?

I am trying to unlock the bootloader on the shield tv 16GB but having a real big problem :(

in ADB i type adb reboot bootloader but i get no picture on my monitor

i then typed fastboot oem unlock but cannot go any further as i need to see the menu of the shield to authorise the unlock

also when i try to ADB into recovery all i get is the android guy lying on his back with a red triangle

reall stuck now and any help would be gratefully appreciated
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilotbob3:
Are you absolutely sure you are entering the bootloader? Follow the advice on the first post of : http://xdaforums.com/shield-tv/general/guide-how-to-flash-recovery-image-t3321404

When this is properly done, you should be able to type: fastboot devices and it will show that your Shield TV is connected. Then you can reload the bootloader if necessary as directed in the above thread.

Hope this helps,

I can confirm without anything out of the box you can mount the s7 edge on your magnetic mount.

I have an s5 and i stick a metal in the back cover for my magnetic mount in my car out of curiosity i tried it against my mount it stick around the middle part of the back.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] rodnii:
Does it interfere with your signal or other functions? I think I'd rather be safe and put the metal plate inside my case. I have a magnetic mount too, so I've been curious about this.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] _Dennis_:
I may be stupid but I'm pretty sure there isn't anything in your phone that would be effected by magnets.

On a desperate but related note, what difference would a metal plate make, other then to possibly interfere with signal penetration into the device?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] frank smith:
There is magnetic field sensors:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] _Dennis_:
Wouldn't expect it to mess up that sensor, but I just realized it might trip the hall sensor (making it think a cover closed so it would turn off the screen)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Tezray:
Hmm just had a look for a magnetic car holder this would be very good if it does not fall off easily
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] _Dennis_:
Kind of. It uses the fact that an AC current causes a fluctuating magnetic field which can then be picked up by a second conductor and turned back to AC current.

While the information contained in the links is mostly correct (though extremely sparse). The one thing wireless charging wl do to harm your I is heat it up. Usually it's not a concern for naked phones though.

Magnetic fields we're talking about should not effect modern electronics. The CPU and memory (RAM and ROM) don't use magnetic fields, nor would the small fields used to hold things together cause EMP like symptoms (both because they are small and stable.)

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] sweets55:
Good to know... I never liked putting my phone in front of my vents though. It gets cold in Columbus that would block the heat. lol I just have a gps mount that I can put my phone in. I have it so it's snug enough that it won't fall out and that I can just grab and go without unlocking it. The only downside is the it's a big mount. I just have no place to put my phone and on the dash is the best place so you still kind of have your eyes on the road using GPS.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] meyerweb:
If it holds strongly enough over bumps in my sports car, this is great. I'm using a magnetic mount now, and figured I would need to use a case. with the S7. If not, that's a definite plus. Of course, I may end up deciding to use a case anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] wawaweewa:
I cant record it while on a bump but i am sure if you put it by the middle part its gonna hold well enough

Could you please supply link for vent holder? Or model number and manufacturer?

I believe the magnet is there to help facilitate the PMA version of the wireless charging.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Redflea:
Try this CD-slot magnetic mount. We use it w/Note 5 and S4, w/thin metal plate that comes w/the mount placed between the case and the phone . Works perfectly. Downside of metal plate is it blocks wireless charging, looks like s7 edge can work work w/the mount w/out plate and still use wireless charging.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0175W45I8?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage

We've used this for almost two months now, doesn't affect navigation or cause any other issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] ipaq_101:
I have used a magnetic mount since the S4. For my S6 I use it and the only side effect is that you can't use wireless charging as I place my metal plate in between my phone an case. Other than that absolutely no impact to signal, GPS, or anything else. The sturdiness depends on the power of the magnet you use and the thickness of your case.

http://www.scosche.com/magic-mount-cell-phone-holder-tablet-mount been using that for over a year with no problem on my s5, not been in car yet to try the s7e but it is well made, stands up over time, has 360 ball joint and they sell all sorts of other magnetic pads to be used around the home etc
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] mocsab:
I use a magnet mount on my car - and have a metal plate in the back between the phone and case. I also use Wireless charging. No problem.

I put the metal at the bottom of the case/phone - horizontally so the metal is nearly the width of the phone but is only about 1 inch to 1 1/2 inches high - it holds nicely to the magnet there- and leaves open the area you need for wireless charging. Never had a problem wth the phone falling off the magent or with getting a wireless charge while still in the case with the metal plate.

Interesting that you can put the S7 on a magnet without a metal plate or case - but I would be concerned about a big bump - as many stories as I have heard of cracked sceens or cracked backs from low falls - I woudln't want to take the chance. I will keep it in My Spigen Crystal Case for now.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Syn Ack:
I use the Scosche magnetic mount in my car and have not put the metal plate on the back of my S7 Edge. I drive a Corvette Z06 and I don't drive slow. It holds just fine. It might not hold very good if I took it to the racetrack but for everyday purposes it works perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] skmo:
Wouldn't the metal plate scratch the back of your phone if u put it in the case with the phone....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] meyerweb:
I also have a Scosche mount in my Stingray, but find it doesn't grip the S7 Edge firmly enough to hold the phone in place, with or without a case. Odd that yours does and mine doesn't.

Since I use a clear case, I don't want to stick the metal plate in mine. So I modded my Scosche mount with some of this:

http://www.amazon.com/Sewell-Direct...&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

It's the same micro-suction material used on mounts like the Air Dock. I simply attached it to the rubber pad on the Scosche mount, and my S7 sticks to it like glue, but comes right off when I want to remove it. Great stuff.

---------- Post added at 09:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 PM ----------

One side of the plate is covered with double sided foam tape. Just put that side against the phone and you should be OK.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Syn Ack:
I dunno man, my S6 Edge held just fine, and the S7 Edge holds on pretty good. I mean it's not a very strong connection but it holds just fine doing absurdly stupid stuff that I occasionally do in my C6Z.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] meyerweb:
I don't know why, but mine gradually slides down the rubber face of the Scosche. In any case, the micro-suction works great for anyone else who might be looking at a way to hold a non-magnetic phone.

The magnetic force is NOT strong

Any samsung phone with wireless charging will stick to magnetic docks. However, due to the design of most magnets the glass backing will make the magnetic hold weak. I went over a speed bump the other day and my phone fell. Sadly it was a s7 edge and the edge hit the cup holder shattering my screen. I was going about 10 mph and hit a pothole, that was enough to shake my phone loose. I would not risk it just because the phone sticks.

I off-road in my 4runner often but still wanted a magnetic mount. I over-engineered a solution that holds my S7 Edge even during off-road conditions.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] jmizzlefoshizzle:
When i used the magnetic mount with my s7 edge it held very firmly to to the mount without any metal plate. However, I noticed later that day my screen would jump to different windows and was acting crazy. So i stopped using the mount for a few days and it went back to normal. I thought a metal back plate would prevent this and tried again but again I had issues and I gave up not wanting to permanently ruin my phone.

I'm not sure if they were only looking for 1 or 2 people to review...

I dunno that everyone would agree there. Sure, it may not be a fast charger, but to say it's a waste to "only" get a $20 wireless charger may be a bit rash. Way I look at it is anything someone wants to give me for free based on me trying something that has no inherent cost to me is great.
