[Greenify] hjbuzzi:
I have a Moto G4 Play model number XT1600 (Moto G Paly in the US) and I am having some issues with the proximity sensor.

When answering a call, sometimes the screen goes dark and unresponsive to touch or by quickly pressing the power button. I have Greenify installed but I'm not sure if it is related.

After reading some posts here, I decided to understand the behavior of my phone when I make the calls and here is what I learned:

- after the proximity sensor turn the screen off when the phone is close to the ear, many times it will not detect when the phone is put away from the ear. But if you make a movement that leaves the phone in the horizontal position in your hand, the screen will be lit again (it takes a few seconds).

- if you put away the phone from the ear and leave it in a desk in the horizontal position, the screen will almost immediately be lit again. It seems that the proximity sensor works together with another sensor that detects the little bump when you put the phone on the desk.

- I did the movement to put the phone away from the ear, leaving it in the horizontal position in my hand; screen continued dark. Then with my finger I did a few taps in the back of the phone and the screen went on again.

- Another test I did when none of the above alternatives worked: in the settings there is an option to turn the camera on with a double press of the power button. When this option is set and the screen goes unresponsive while answering a call, I do the double click to activate the camera. The screen turns on with the camera app and then I am able to switch to the phone app.

Annoying but it is an alternative solution.

Not sure if this is the normal behavior but this is what I learned today :)
[Greenify] DB126:
I experienced this same issue on an older XT1030 which is the mini varient of a 2nd gen Moto X. Spent quite a bit of time trying to diagnose the issue (like you) and had devised various work-arounds that were never quite satiafsctory. Also rocking Greenify w/Xposed but ultimately determined that was not a direct factor with the proximity sensor glitch.

What fixed it (for me) was Gravity Screen which you can find in the Play Store. Takes a bit to get understand how to configure but very nice once everything is set up. One downside is you will probably want to disable Moto's active screen function - at least during initial configuration. Good luck.
[Greenify] BillTheCat:
Is there any reason why pending updates might have an effect on the proximity sensor?
[Greenify] TNSMANI:
I have noticed that if app updates are kept pending in PlayStore, it does affect various things, which seem totally unconnected.
[Greenify] BillTheCat:
Ah. So I'm not hallucinating after all...
[Greenify] BillTheCat:
Well guys, it looks like I'm going to have to abandon Greenify. I just can't seem to find any combination of settings that won't interfere with the proximity sensor. Unfortunate, really, because it's a great app and I even bought the donation package, but it's just making my life miserable.

Anyway suggests for alternatives would be appreciated. I have one mention for 'force doze'. Anything else?
[Greenify] hjbuzzi:
I wish I had more technical skills to understand why my Moto G4 Play (XT1600) had its proximity sensor behaving erratically for several days. I uninstalled Greenify and installed it again. Settings are

Working mode NON ROOT, Agressive doze ON, Wake-up Tracking DISABLED, Auto Hibernation OFF, Alternative Screen Off Mode OFF, Quick Action Notification OFF, Long Press OFF, Don't Remove Notifications ON, Xposed Features (not available), Greenifying System Apps OFF, Extras for Geek OFF.

My proximity sensor is working fine with Greenify installed.

I keep all my apps and system up to date and I suspect that some recent update may have fixed the erratic behavior of the proximity sensor.
[Greenify] DB126:
Aggressive doze is neither needed nor beneficial on most configs. However, it can result in erratic app/device behavior. Suggest disabling and observe drain over several charge/discharge cycles. If only looking at at sleep performance be sure to include 1-2 min after waking as the device plays 'catch-up'. If there are no overall benefits to aggressive doze why introduce the potential for side-effects?
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaheenkohli:
Hi

I want to know that if my phone is dual sim phone then why only one IMEI number is shown in fastboot getvar all

Also I am not able to use any sim, I have again flashed stock marshmallow and the IMEI are showing 0 for both sims

In the past i have flashed roms for single sim and have flashed some different custom roms as well

So what I think of it now is that, maybe my variables list is for single sim phone (imei), for dual sim it must be like imei_1 and imei_2 and the rom is searching for these variable and they are not found and hence showng 0 ?

So what is the solution to this problem ?

PS : I have no backup of .nv_data or efs if you are about to ask such question. I have both IMEI numbers on the box as well as on the phone.

Any help is appreciated !

Thanks
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tristar:
Good that you have the IMEI numbers. For starters, download the latest Stock ROM for your phone and boot to Bootloader/fastboot mode.

mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2

Then try to install the full Stock ROM using instructions available in the forums, then test out and see if it works. If it still does not work, then install QPST (instructions available in the forum to install and connect your device)

USE CAUTION when writing NVRAM, you can write any junk and there will be no warning sign. From hereon, make notes of whatever you do !!

Once the device is connected, dump a local backup of NVRAM to your PC. Then locate the ID number for IMEI (could be 550, good to confirm though cause am not sure about dual IMEIs) then you need to update the IMEI number in a specific format (ensure you're entering them as HEX), if you read through the forums, you should find the correct sequence, starting from the 2nd digit, you basically reverse the digits.

Once this is done, and you restart out of BL mode, most likely your phone should be back up and running. Proceed to run a full Stock flash and hopefully you're up.

I'm giving you top level instructions on what to do, because you need to do a lot of research before messing with NVRAM values and during your course of locating all the info I've asked you to look for you should find them.

Cheers !
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JanusDC:
My Nexus 6P has some sort of problem forbidding me to send data through the USB. I have tried with different cables, different computers, and even an adaptor USB-C to USB-A to connect a pendrive, and it is still a no-go.

Recently, I tried to update to the stock image of July, and I got a bootloop. So, now I do not have any way to transfer new files to the phone. However, I can access TWRP, and I have the images of the last android version. I have tried wiping Data, System, Boot, Cache, and Dalvik, then flashing Boot, System and Vendor from within TWRP, but the bootloop is still there.

Any ideas?

Update: I tried flashing the OTA of an old version that I had in my phone, and magically it worked (I had already flashed the img of the full image of the last version, so I have no idea how flashing an old OTA could have ever worked, but it did). So now my phone works now.

The new problem: I have no TWRP (flashing the OTA passed over my custom recovery), and no root. So I was trying to see if there is any way either to root or to install TWRP without PC in an unrooted phone.... but apparently there is not. So I am stuck here, with a working phone, but without custom recovery nor root.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
How were you attempting to update? OTA? Full image? MTP not working in TWRP for file transfer? What happens when you fastboot FORMAT system, cache and userdata? Error free? If so, reapply the full image with flash-all.bat.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JanusDC:
Thank you for your reply. I was trying to update with the full image. MTP is not working, nor anything from the PC, since the USB-C seems broken. I tried flashing the OTA of an old version that I had in my phone, and magically it worked (I had already flashed the img of the full image of the last version, so I have no idea how flashing an old OTA could have ever worked, but it did). So now my phone works now.

The new problem: I have no TWRP (flashing the OTA passed over my custom recovery), and no root. So I was trying to see if there is any way either to root or to install TWRP without PC in an unrooted phone.... but apparently there is not. So I am stuck here, with a working phone, but without custom recovery nor root.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JanusDC:
I think you need to be rooted for that: The only option I get is to download the img.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JanusDC:
I'am on the N2G47W (7.1.2)

I will try with kingroot, I didn't know that app.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JanusDC:
It seems kingroot cannot root my device yet (or maybe the version I am using). I will have to wait until they figure out how to do it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JanusDC:
Great! Thanks. It seems KingoRoot cannot root the Nexus 6P neither. Any other you know?

Update: Just in case, I tried kingoroot, but I had no luck.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaaaleon:
Wait, so did you mean you flashed an older OTA image via adb and it worked?

I thought we were told not to do that.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JanusDC:
No. I had the OTA on my phone. So I just flashed it with TWRP.

And yes, you should never flash an old OTA over a new version... but I had no other choice... and it worked :D
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
At any point in the past did you have ADB and Fastboot working between your PC and phone... a week ago, month ago? I know you said your USB-C port is bad, but I would try to establish ADB in recovery mode using a known good cable. Set the phone to "Update by ADB". This setting in recovery is independent of the usb debugging setting in dev settings. If this doesn't work, you can buy the daughterboard separately. Others have had success replacing it with a genuine part. Good luck.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JanusDC:
Thank you for the suggerence. I cannot even see the device with dmesg in my Linux laptop when I attach the USB. It is like if it is not there. ADB is working correctly in my computer with other phones, so it is not my installation neither. In any case, I tried your suggestion, with no luck.

~ $ adb sideload nada
opening 'nada'...
connecting...
falling back to older sideload method...
error: no devices/emulators found

Yes, I will have to try that. The customs process at the border in Argentina take ages, even for a little phone part, so I have to get the idea of not having root for at least 3 months.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
So in recovery mode menu, what return do you get from "adb devices". What about in bootloader mode- "fastboot devices"
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JanusDC:
None. But it is not surprising since dmesg does not even show that a USB device has been attached. It is dead.

[Palm Treo 750] ugahairydawgs:
Anyone having any issues with the battery meter in Spb Mobile Shell on the Treo w/ WM6 (stock AT&T ROM)? Every few times I flip it on to check something the battery meter on the applications tab will go down to zero for several seconds and then come back up to the regular level. I checked the stock battery meter in the taskbar and it stays at the charge level the entire time (i.e., the battery meter that is up at the top of the screen will say it has x% of battery power left while the indicator for Spb Mobile Shell says 0%).

Is this common? I am trying to decide if it is a software issue or just something wrong with my phone specifically.
[Palm Treo 750] reyjabs:
You need to click on the battery indicator before you can see the actual power percentage left on the battery.

I tried yesterday with google contacts (as a user app) on 3.5.9, I had no drops.

[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] outrage_uk:
Just received the Moto G5 (UK unbranded version: Single Sim, 2GB RAM, Snapdragon 430).

Its unlocked, running LineageOS (7.1.2). Very happy with such a budget phone. The only problem is it charges slow. I am using a Qualcomm® certified charger, which has a blue LED for normal charging, that turns green when using Quick Charge. It works fine for my HTC phones. The Moto G5 seemingly doesn't work with Qualcomm's QC chargers?

Does the Moto G5 support Quick Charge 3.0 ? In theory it should do as the Snapdragon 430 does. Is it a firmware problem that is likely to be resolved, or just by design only to work with Motorola branded TurboPower™ chargers? It would be disappointing if that's the case. :rolleyes:
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] TheFixItMan:
After doing some reading heres some information

Quick charge & turbo charge are the same thing - its just manufacturers brand names

Both moto g5 & g5 plus phones support fast charging, with the Moto G5 coming with a 10W TurboCharge charger out of the box, and the G5 Plus with a 15W TurboCharge adapter.

​The Mo​​torola Turbo charger will charge the device at a faster rate when the device is below 78%. If the device is already at 78% or higher, it will charge at regular speed.

1% - 65% 53 mins

- 96% 1hr 33 mins

- 100% 1hr 52 mins

Currently as far as I can tell it's quick charge 2.0 although as you said in theory it can support 3.0 - Maybe a future firmware upgrade will allow this
