[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason2678:
As mentioned above, stock is definitely the best for battery life, but for me the gap has closed considerably.

In the last few months the CM based roms have gotten good enough that battery life is comparable to stock. I've been running AICP pretty much exclusively since August. Standby drain is a touch higher on AICP, but the difference is so small now that it doesn't make any real difference in how often I charge my phone.

I haven't spent any significant time on AOSP based roms recently, but they used to have pretty poor battery life when compared to stock. I'd lose like 10% battery just idling overnight vs. 2 - 3% on stock. AOSP might have improved a lot recently as well, because the CM based roms used to run that way too.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fortunejr:
Which AICP ROM are you using? MM or N?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason2678:
M when I wrote that, but N now.

If battery life is your primary concern N is a little better for me, except for an audio out wakelock I get. Streaming audio from Pandora or playing video in a browser tab and things like that keep my phone from getting back to sleep sometimes. Only seems like streaming does it to me. Playing local music doesn't do that. Takes a reboot to fix it. Not a huge problem once I figured out what to watch for.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allenrb2:
With this phone, if you want everything to work right, and good consistent battery life, stock is the only way to go. No matter how much effort is put into the custom roms for this phone, there is always something wrong, and they require a ton of tweaking to get battery life to equal stock. So just use stock with xposed for customization for the best experience with this phone.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fortunejr:
Yeah, battery life is the most important for me because of my heavy usage, but the problem with Stock & TruPure is that somehow my tether/hotspot is being tracked and it's limiting my speeds for that. On AOSP ROM's the tether/hotspot speeds are consistent with Sprint LTE. I have an average of 4 hours SOT daily and need to charge the phone 2-3 times fully a day on turbo charger.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aybarrap1:
If you are using a lot of data when you tether/hotspot, then you are not going to see any big differences in battery life regardless of ROMs or tweaks. Using a lot of mobile data via a hotspot, even with the screen off, will be heavy on the battery.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allenrb2:
The only non-stock rom I have gotten good battery life, without having to do a ton of tweaking, is CrDroid. It has issues though, like taking 20 seconds to open the camera, and the stupid stuttering when changing orientation in youtube, that most of the custom roms have.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ban.codrut:
Why audio stutters when rotating display

The "stupid stuttering when changing orientation", if you are referring to the audio stutter, is because when you turn your phone in landscape to the right (with the volume buttons underneath) the Left and Right channels switch.

This "feature" Motorola put in Lollipop and then pulled out by them again in Marshmallow, it can be disabled by a simple edit into build.prop

ro.audio.monitorRotation = true, false

Or you could delete the whole line. Note that reflashing a custom rom zip replaces your build.prop file!
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allenrb2:
It doesn't happen on the stock rom, so it isn't a problem
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Randy3011:
I use AICP 11 or Resurrection Remix 5.7.4. I can get over two days on a charge. I don't do games or Bluetooth. Just mail, text, browser and music. See attached screenshot.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dollarbr:
Custom ROM's are Ressurection Remix and CrDroid to give you the most battery (i don't know about AICP, never used it)

Stock ROM still gives me the best "user experience/battery life" since i don't mind recharging every night, but i get home with something next to 35%, then i "watch some videos/play some games" to get the battery down, till i go to bed it gets to something like 5%, then I leave it charging through the night

ps: not sure if it makes any difference, but i charge it with the 15w turbo charger that i bought in a Motorola Store not the 25w that came in the box, it heats to much with the 25w one, no heat at all in the 15w version
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aybarrap1:
I've noticed the phone heats up more on the 25W charger, but it is nice in a pinch. I just charge in the evening with a 15W charger and go through the night without charging. I keep my 25W at work (for those slow days in which I watch movies/shows).

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] John Galbreath Jr.:
Good day all.

My 8925 has been working fine, until this morning :-(.

Now, I cannot get it to connect to the computer with the USB cable.

I have tried:

A second USB cable

A soft reset

A Hard Reset

A Hard reset followed by a restore.

I do not get the normal tones when the USB cable is plugged in or unplugged, But I do get a charge light, so I know it is making connection.

I cannot get ActiveSync or Internet Sharing to see the computer from the phone.

Any ideas before I send it in for service.

I have the ATT installed CAB.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] last2kn0:
Intermittently I get problems with connecting through activesync. Have you tried restarting your computer? Maybe something happened with the windows mobile services.

Try restarting your computer and soft resetting your phone. Once your computer has booted, connect your phone and just give it a minute. I haven't had the time to look into it beyond that. Hopefully that works for you.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kireol:
i had problems until i connected my USB directly into my computer instead of a hub.

also, maybe try reinstalling active sync.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ranekouhi:
I am having the same problem, have Dutty's Touchflo Rom on my Tilt. My 8525 connects just fine, but the Tilt does not. I've tried soft reset, hard reset, reinstalled activesync, and nothing seems to work.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] DcIpHa:
Try unchecking Enable advanced network functionality under Start\Settings\Connections\USB To PC
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] John Galbreath Jr.:
I am straight to computer, thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] John Galbreath Jr.:
It is not checked, thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] aadadams:
Try checking it then

edit: I have had to use this setting in both modes for various ROMs to connect and sync with activesync. If that does not work Hard reset the phone and try both settings again.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] John Galbreath Jr.:
Done all that too.

Guess I'll call AT&Ts not so technical dept.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dzidean:
You Ready Heres What happened to me.

:cool: First you need a magnyfine glass seriously, looke at the mini usb conector on your tilt. check to see that all of your pins are towards the top of the little plastic conector in the middle. (seems that in the dark while I was doing one of my many soft-resets I accidentaly put the stylus in the usb instead of the reset hole it felt the same becouse the plastic bends and it clicks just like a the reset, then you bend the pins down or towards the middle and they dont contact the inside top of the usb conector) check it out

it took me 3 days many soft and hard reset changing cables until I asked myself, How does that mini usb conector work anyway its still charging whats up?? You guys are gonna laugh but I bet it's the cause of many such problems.

first post little long sorry.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] John Galbreath Jr.:
Thanks for the post. I was hoping, but that was nt my issue.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dakkerz:
I had a similiar issue when flashing to a different rom. It would connect for a split second and then disconnect from activesync, but still charge the phone. I thought I was screwed until I found a way to reflash without using activesync. I was then able to reflash it back to the ATT rom and haven't had any issues since.

This is what I did (it might work for you). With the usb connected I held down the power button and camera button while doing a soft reset (similiar to how you do a hard reboot). This caused my phone to go into the tri color state for flashing. I then just ran the rom on my PC and it successfully reflashed my Tilt back to the ATT rom.

Regardless I hope you get things sorted out.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] John Galbreath Jr.:
I am unsure what you are referring to here. The CD that came with the phone? Or a downloaded program?

How did you get it from the computer to the phone?

Thanks for the reply and I will try it.

[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jude Aranha:
Did you try booting into recovery or fastboot manually ?

For recovery - hold all 3 keys, when OnePlus logo comes, then leave Vol Up key and hold the other 2.

Do the same but leave the Vol Down key for fast boot.

If either of this works then you can recover easily.
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] choubeyaakash77:
Just as I mentioned, booting into recovery doesn't work. Stuck at the OnePlus Logo Screen if I do that manually.

Though I can boot into fastboot. But after doing that, when I connect the phone to the PC, fastboot devices command returns an empty line.
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exodusche:
We get so caught up in custom recovery and such that we forget about what people would normally do who don't mod. Simplest safest way to upgrade bootloader or downgrade is by using original stock recovery. Now your gonna probably need to go through the hard brick guide.

Yeah, I did for the first time.

I think I now know what went wrong. For future viewers -

Do NOT ever Flash Recovery Image through your recovery. Always use fastboot.

Something weird happened. I managed to flash recovery, update to OOS 3.1.3. Then for rooting, I downloaded TWRP and SuperSU zip from the links here http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-x/general/discussion-how-to-root-oneplus-x-t3242830.

But as soon as I flashed SuperSU, I got stuck in Bootanimation again. Why is this happening??

I came across this the other day:

http://bestblackfriday.com/ads/verizon-black-friday

$10 a month at Verizon for Google Pixel, up to $672 for Device Payment Plan (discount applied as a bill credit). Not sure if that $672 limit rules out 128GB devices as those cost $749.
[Google Pixel Accessories] alluringreality:
For anyone interested in a 32GB device, currently Best Buy is offering a $200 gift card for a monthly device payment plan with a new line of Verizon service. There is a $20 activation fee for ordering online, which is reportedly waived for in-store purchases, but so far Best Buy's inventory has seemed limited compared to Verizon. The phone can be paid off at Verizon anytime. This has been going on for weeks, so Saturday November 12 may be the last day. It's possible Best Buy could have better deals later this month, but so far this and the Verizon 20% off code last week have been the best offers that don't involve two years of service at Verizon.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/promo/v...D=1&siteID=je6NUbpObpQ-cX93jXtgifXuSzPDgubOdQ
[Google Pixel Accessories] bobby janow:
I saw that too. $10 / month for 24 months is $400 off Google Store price. I have a verizon account that has an upgrade available. But I don't use Verizon that much, only for work. So if I buy one of these can I just pull out the sim and put in my Project Fi account sim and use it like that? I think it might depend on if vzw will allow it to come off the network while on that contract? But I'd buy that in a heartbeat if the deal is real and I could use it on Fi.
[Google Pixel Accessories] alluringreality:
The Slickdeals discussions I've read seem to suggest it may be possible to do that sort of thing.

https://slickdeals.net/f/9261011-ve...xisting-lines-qualify?p=91039035#post91039035
[Google Pixel Accessories] Sakete:
You probably can, Verizon phones are not provider locked, you should be able to put in any SIM card.

I personally have a Verizon subscription (the only way to get a decent signal at work where I spend most of my time) and am considering this deal. I would however strongly prefer to order directly from the Google store as I want an unlockable bootloader (I know there is DePixel8, but that's not the same and that loophole could be closed at any time with a security update, just want an unlockable bootloader without any hacks).

But, I might just take the plunge through Verizon, it's a very good price for this phone. Hopefully Google themselves come with some deals as well. Even just $200 off would be enough :)
[Google Pixel Accessories] bobby janow:
I called Project Fi / Google Store (I think they're basically one and the same) and the guy saw the Verizon promotion and couldn't believe it. He wasn't sure about prospect of pulling it off the vzw network or if they would allow it during the contract period but I don't think they would care. I asked if he had an inkling of a Google black Friday deal and he didn't think they'd do something so drastic as to take 400 bucks off. But he did say and I did too, "Hey you never know." I don't know if I'd pull my 5x out of service for $200 off but I certainly would for 400. Gonna keep my eyes on this one for sure.
[Google Pixel Accessories] clockcycle:
Found the page via google cache.. lol
[Google Pixel Accessories] alluringreality:
I don't see any offers that would apply to the Pixel in Best Buy's Black Friday advertisement, so the Best Buy offer of a $200 gift card for a new line this week and Verizon's Black Friday offer may be the primary deals on Pixel phones this month. Based on last year's Nexus 6p, and the current limited phone supply at the Google Store, I wouldn't expect deals from Google this November. Assuming someone plans on having an active line at Verizon for two years, the only way it might be possible to slightly exceed Verizon's Black Friday deal any time soon would be if Verizon offers another discount code and retains their current offer of $300 in account credits over two years for a $1 phone trade, but that trade value is rather high so I wouldn't expect it to necessarily last until their next discount code. For someone that isn't interested in two years of Verizon service, the $200 gift card has only been rivaled by a 20% off code from Verizon that lasted just a few days, and any better offers from Best Buy or Verizon seem to have happened before this phone was available.

http://blackfriday.bestbuy.com/?category=doorbusters
[Google Pixel Accessories] Sakete:
Just chatted with the Google store and they said they currently have no updates on whether they'll have any Black Friday deals. I guess even if they did already know they probably wouldn't tell me :) Man, I'd really prefer to have it straight from Google for the unlockable bootloader (without any hassle), but that deal from Verizon is starting to look really good.
[Google Pixel Accessories] alluringreality:
I looked at the Verizon site today. After adding a 128GB Pixel to the cart there was an offer for 50% off a second phone, either a Pixel or V20. I didn't see written terms for the offer, but it looks like they are reducing the retail price of the second phone. It seems the $300 in 24 months of bill credits on a $1 phone is still available, but I've read that you might have to try a store to trade two phones for two new devices. On a preliminary look, the 50% off a second phone seems like potentially one of the better deals for anyone willing to consider buying two phones.

[Google Pixel Accessories] Bxrider117:
I was going to return my pixel 128gb and then buy another one for Black Friday. I decided to take advantage of the trade in $200 credit, just in case if the terms for the black Fri sale didn't fit me as a Verizon customer. I purchased an iPhone 4 used for $25 that was being used for Sprint. Verizon took it with no problems and will credit me $8.33 per month.
[Google Pixel Accessories] m2thedeep:
For those of us wanting the Pixel from Google with the unlockable bootloader, couldn't we trade in a phone on Friday for $400 and get the Verizon Pixel then sell it? The $400 credit and whatever proceeds from the Verizon Pixel should be more than enough to cover the cost of purchasing from the Google Store.
[Google Pixel Accessories] Sakete:
The $400 credit is applied over a period of 2 years to your monthly phone bill, so while you can do what you're proposing, you won't see any immediate benefit.
[Google Pixel Accessories] m2thedeep:
From what I've read on SlickDeals, the BF credit will be applied immediately. However, I don't think we'll know for sure until the day comes.
[Google Pixel Accessories] Sakete:
Nope, pretty sure it'll be applied over a period of 2 years. So you'll need to stay on contract with them for at least as long to get the full benefit. And either way, I think this deal only applies to the 32GB Pixel, don't think the 128GB will get this deal.
[Google Pixel Accessories] farfromovin:
So only 1 variant of the Google phone would apply here, a 32GB Pixel? Hmm.. the $400 credit is that for any phone or is it a credit up to $400?
[Google Pixel Accessories] Sakete:
If I remember correctly, the black friday deal will be for the Galaxy S7, Google Pixel and one other phone. It would apply to a max of $672. But since Verizon forced sites to remove all these adds everywhere, I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up coming with something else. I would strongly prefer a Google store version, so I have one on backorder right now, but if a really good deal comes up from Verizon, I might consider getting the Verizon version.
