[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Lemagex:
I know this is an old post but I came across this issue on the moto Z as well as the moto Z play and was happy to find that this installer package contained the files for both (The EXE installer worked for me, whereas the raw drivers did not)

Note that this solution works only for Windows, I could not get any drivers to run correctly for the play on MacOS so I just booted into windows instead.

Firstly download this

zip file.

Unzip it wherever you like, and run either DPInst_x64.exe or DPInstx86.exe depending on your OS (Note, x86 is 32-bit and x64 is 64-bit,

if you are unsure whether your system is 64 or 32, please hold the winkey and press R, and type "msinfo32" without the quotation marks, and look at system type on the right

)

After installing, you must go into Device manager, select your "Fastboot" incorrectly labeled device, right-click, click "update drivers" click "browse my computer for driver software" then click "Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer" double click on "Android device" and pick whatever the device is plugged in as. Eg: If you're plugged in on bootloader currently, select fastboot.

This works for the Z play AND Z for me. Hopefully this helps anyone else with the same issue who also stumbles across this thread on Google, or at least one of you guys.

Cheers.

I just wanted to let everyone know that this worked perfectly for me. I can now see my Moto Z2 Play in the Device Manager on Windows 10 using this method. I'm planning to unlock it all and flash custom ROMs, root, etc etc now that I can do it all. Thanks for this post!:good:
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Daedbot:
Hi! I had the same problem with my Moto Z Play and did what you suggested, but foolishly I installed the CDMA instead of the GSM, then - when I noticed the mistake - I erased the driver, and now I'm trying to install the right one, but there is no longer a list where it is supposed to be (I mean the different types of phones). I've tried to reinstall the DPInst_x64.exe several times now, rebooting my PC each time, but nothing...It still won't show the list :( What should I do?

[Huawei Watch] yakuzah:
OK so I am a complete beginner with Android. I've had my W1 for nearly a year.

When Android Wear 2.0 reached Preview 5 I decided to take the leap and load it onto my watch.

All is working fine and has been fine for some time.

My question is Huawei have advertised and confirmed that the Full release of Android wear 2.0 is coming end of March. If that is the case, do I need to downgrade my watch to the previous version of Android Wear to receive the update or will i receive the update anyway?

Any help or advice appreciated.
[Huawei Watch] the flying dutchman:
I think you have to flash a new image when it is out, or downgrade to receive it via ota
[Huawei Watch] Pkt_Lnt:
There are many questions in various threads about this.

Many users are making wild ass guesses, but they have nothing reliable to base those on.

tl;dr We will not know until it ACTUALLY releases!
[Huawei Watch] TheSt33v:
Based on my experience reading the updater scripts of OTAs in other android devices, there is always a firmware designated as the "target" firmware for the OTA to update. If the firmware installed on the device does not match the target, the OTA aborts. The target firmware in this case will undoubtedly be the latest official release, so I think there is a high probability that the OTA will fail (or just not show up) if you have DP5 installed.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ferg8080:
I followed the instructions in this link http://rootmygalaxy.net/install-twrp-recovery-on-samsung-devices-using-odin/ to the letter and spent hours faffing around trying to install TWRP recovery only to find the stock recovery still in place.

The solution was to:

pull the battery and just have the usb cable connected.

Disable auto-reboot in Odin options.

Install TWRP via Odin

When Odin has confirmed TWRP has been installed successfully, disconnect the usb (causing an immediate power down)

Re-insert battery and boot (into recovery mode power+home+vol-up) into what should not be TWRP recovery.

Apparently what was initially happening in my case after installing TWRP recovery the auto reboot was then causing the stock recovery to remain in place. There is more information here...https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxynote4qualcomm.html and here http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/137736/cant-install-twrp-on-note-4

[Other SmartWatches] chromax:
Hi,

I have the finow x5+ and happy with it. Except I really like typing with swype (gboard has the function). But the problem is, that you can swipe any app or screen to go one screen/app back. Thats good, but you accidentally close your app often while typing with swype when you reach the left side of your screen. Since the X5+ has a hardware-key for back, this function is not neccessary for me.

So is there any way to disable this gesture?

No, in the settings, there are no options for this. So I ask if anyone know the launcher of the finow (lemfo seems the same for me) and if there are config files or anything other to manipulate this behaviour.

Thanks!

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serjiolin:
Hi guys, I was usign my N 6 very smoothly since I installed the PureNexus in december. I Rooted it, and was using Easy DPI Changer all the time to switch from 320 for normal use to 560 for in-car use.

Sadly today I again switched and the result was like in the attachment. I first thougt I just typed the wrong setting (like 5600 instead of 560).

I could access TWRP and edit the build.prop in windows, and actually the setting was actually the right one,

ro. sf.lcd_density=560

I changed it and put again 320, overwrote the build.prop on the phone and gave permissions, but nothig is changing.

So the question is: how do I do to come back to the best previous point as possible with the smallest effort?

If I wipe the system, and then flash again the same PureNexus rom, will it come again as it was?

Thank you very much!

I'm not running PN ROM but just a thought, Dev Options -> Drawing -> Smallest width ? Didn't see any mention of this but I used to change DPI via cmd line or build.prop before 7.0.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] hbkekko:
Hello, I'm having a strange issue with March Security Patch update. 3 days ago I received via ota this update, did it and everything was OK. The day after, I rebooted the phone, and sudden it turns black and rebooted by itself looping on coloured little balls before G logo. Another reboot and when it turns on I noticed that it downgraded by itself on February patch security, giving me the March update aviable via ota again.

I reupdated but the day after, once again the same thing. And once again yesterday...and once again today. What have I to do?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Jammol:
Is your bootloader unlocked or any root or anything of that sort? That's a very weird issue. There are reports of the Nexus 6 being downgraded to 7.0 by Google but I'm not sure if it's a software push they are doing to cause that to happen.

You may have to wipe cache and try the update again.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] hbkekko:
I tried to wipe cache from settings, storage but didn't work. Yes I've unlocked bootloader but no root. Could this be the problem?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] wyrdtrtle:
No, shouldn't affect anything just being unlocked. Now if you installed TWRP, that might cause this. I didn't use an OTA to go to the march update so idk if it might be at fault, I was on pure Nexus so chose to flash the factory image and haven't had any issues so far.

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] xantanion:
Yeah I have no issues with stabilization for pictures. And they turn out great without even trying to get a good shot
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] siralsmooth:
I'll agree, this camera blows. My Moto X Pure kills this thing. I go to lots of EDM shows, and the Z play constantly fights to focus, if at all, during video recording. Yet the Snapchat camera pulls video flawlessly, but the audio is ruined. Probably an issue with the stock camera software or the stock camera api. Just my two cents.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] parvezk9:
Agreed. There is also a sh*t tone of noise in photos...specially indoors. My lower budget grand 2 takes better photos.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] noisyriver:
It isn't.

Coming from a Samsung Note 4 the Z Play camera quality was a big concern for me. But actually it's better than the Note 4. Samsung applies way too much denoise and sharpening filters which you could see a lot in outdoor images with trees and so on. (Giving everything a "watercolor effect".) Of course they do not have so much noise on the other hand but images clearly lack of detail with Samsung software.

The Moto Z Play gave me more details compared to the Note 4 (which is the same module than Galaxy S5). Also low light is better. Overall for me quality was on par for example with the OnePlus three of my son.

The only thing I agree which is missing is the OIS. You really have to concentrate to hold the phone steady when taking HDR images. Without HDR I don't have issues though. On the other hand HDR images are really good to increase the images dynamic range.

I also switched to Snap Camera app (not to be confused with Snap from Lineage) which gives me a lot more options compared to the stock camera. There I completely disabled the denoise filter and lowered the sharpening filter to -2. This gave me even more details without sacrificing the Quality with to much noise. Beside this it has 4K Super Slowmotion and an enhanced HDR mode for really hard conditions.

I noticed that a lot of People judge the images only on the small phone screen and don't zoom in an look at the details. Also they expect images to perfectly come out with auto mode and not trying to play with the settings and optimize them.

Some images at full Resolution. Most of them were shot under not so ideal conditions but I think they are good espacially with the given conditions. Just click on the links below:

A lot of small details in this image which come out really well. Also the dynamic range and the colors are great I think.

Denoise disabled too, maybe a little to much sharpening. Therefore noise came out a little to much but nice details if you look at the meadow, trees and roof.

Optimized the sharpening filter a little.

A shot against the rising sun. You could still see details of the plants in the foreground.

Very dark - actually it was darker than it appears on the image:

I really wish there was a way to just permanently disable "night mode" on the stock camera. I've had to go back to Open Camera for my photos because they almost never come out blurry.

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] larsdennert:
Full sun shots it does ok. Take some low light shots to stress it a bit and it falls apart. Most motion shots are bad as well.

Take a Porsche and drive it down your neighborhood street along side a Pinto and you'll say the Pinto does just fine. Now take them both to the race track. Sorry, unless you've had a phone with a really good camera and push them you might not realize how poor Moto cameras are.

Here are two shots and neither is what I would call low light. Push it harder and it gets really sad.

You compare a shot against the light (Moto) with a shot with backlight (Pixel). It's rather like comparing a Porsche driving uphill with a Ferrari driving downhill. Or vice versa - doesn't matter. ;)
