Motorola commits to bringing four Moto Mods to market every quarter, battery mods popular

Posted: 01 Dec 2016 01:26 PM PST

Hands on with the new Mophie and Incipio Moto Mods for Moto Z | Android Central

Quote:

Motorola is also committing to bringing four Mods to market every quarter going forward, which is an aggressive cadence for a nascent product category. That doesn't mean you'll see four battery packs, or even four Motorola-released add-ons every three months, but there's a confidence within the company we haven't seen since the first Moto X back in 2013. And it's infectious.
Also, we like batteries and a lot of people are keeping them attached semi-permanently.

Quote:

Battery add-ons have proven the most popular category in the Moto Mods ecosystem, according to Motorola. Over 40% of those purchased to date have been batteries, and the company says that in an average week, 37 hours are spent with a battery add-on attached to the back of the phone. Many people leave their battery packs attached to the back of their phones on a semi-permanent basis.

Phone only charges through computer/"power sharing" (And other charging problems)

Posted: 01 Dec 2016 01:25 PM PST

This was an extremely long ordeal, and I'm not sure what's important, so please bear with my retelling of my problems.

I first noticed something odd when my phone stopped recognizing my headphones. After some investigation, I discovered that I could not charge my phone and have headphones work at the same time.
Shortly after that I started getting messages that the charger I was using wasn't compatible with my phone, which I know is untrue since I use it everyday.
I plugged it into my laptop, which is what I usually do when I have charger troubles. It worked for a bit, and then stopped charging. Also during this time my computer did not recognize my phone which it told my by showing a "unknown device" popup. Many times.
Then my phone started to freak out, vibrating every second telling me that it was charging than not then charging again. I don't remember exactly what I did here but I assume I kept unplugging it until It calmed down.

Then my phone got an error message for something called "power sharing." My nemesis. I've had this happen a few times before, actually. I know it's some kind of glitch where your phone doesn't recognize the USB cable and thinks you're trying to use this power sharing application even if you don't have it downloaded. I've managed to conquer this before, but, again, I unfortunately do not remember how I did it.

I tried:
-Turning on safe mode (Did not work)
-Factory resetting (Did not work)
-Downloading the stupid power app (Kind of worked?)

After that my phone seemed to be charging ok. It even worked in the wall socket! I plugged it in for the night. I checked it again this morning and, of course, it had stopped charging over night. I unplugged it in and tried again and surprisingly it worked! I walked out of the door with around 50% battery.

When I got home the first thing I did was try to charge my phone via the wall socket. Nada. Right now it's plugged into my laptop and charging fine, but at over twice as slow than it normally does. Also, if my phone is off and plugged in, I cannot turn it on while it is charging. I have to unplug my phone to turn it on.

TL;DR after many problems and many attempts to troubleshoot, my phone only works while plugged in to my laptop.

Can anyone help? Considering I've had similar problems in the past I feel like it's fixable, but I've done all that I personally can think of. Thank you!

P.s If you read all that you're a saint.

Can a Google Home work in Canada bought in USA?

Can Team Win Recovery Project access data through micro USB port?

Posted: 01 Dec 2016 12:59 PM PST

Weird question, but I royally goofed. Was trying to flash a new ROM to my Nexus 7 2012 and ended up deleting everything besides the bootloader.

Too add to this mess, my nexus 7 cannot be accessed through a PC. The port can charge, but no PC can recognize it. I have gone through every option imaginable, but no PC even acknowledges through device manager.

So now I'm stuck looking for a way to upload some sort .img or .zip file to the hard drive of my Nexus 7 when I can't connect to a computer and there's no OS to boot from

Tried some wget command line stuff, but command line stuff was very stripped down.

Is this possible, or is this going to be my new, fancy paper weight?
