former 2014 moto x owner has a few questions about ambient display

Posted: 19 Jan 2016 01:06 PM PST

hey guys, I had a first gen 2013 Motorola Moto x then the followup 2014 Moto x. I loved the active display with wake up screen with a hand swipe over it then the notifications i could dismiss or get more info from the locked display. I skipped the 2015 Moto x due to lack of fingerprint sensor (and lack of timely security updates) but how good is this feature on the 6p? I know the device does not have the sensors to support waving to wake and i read you have to lift the device to show any new notifications. Any users who came from the moto x line love it, hate it? I need to make a trip to my local best buy to see one in person but if anyone has any opinions i would love to hear them.

Thanks. Doug

Phone not calculating storage

Posted: 19 Jan 2016 01:00 PM PST

I installed a few games on my Moto g 2nd generation the other day and ever since, when I go into my storage to move them to my SD card it calculates how much I have left but everything else underneath it like Apps (app data & media content), Pictures and videos, Audio, Downloads, cached data, and Misc just says calculating constantly. I tried restarting my device and I waited a few days but nothing changed. When I try to move a game to my SD card it says moving but it doesn't do anything. What should I do?

Anyone use Android Pay with their Note 4?

Posted: 19 Jan 2016 12:54 PM PST

I added my debit card successfully to Android Pay on my Note 4 and enabled a screen lock pattern. Went to a store that accepts android pay, unlocked the phone with the pattern, and nothing happened. Tried again, still nothing. I have NFC enabled. Am I suppose to use the fingerprint unlock instead of the pattern unlock or do I use both? Thanks for any help.

How to use the back and home icons on Kyocera hydro

Posted: 19 Jan 2016 12:52 PM PST

My Kyocera hydro has not been dropped or exposed to water. My phone died before I could put it on the charger. Once I turned it on after the charge was complete I used the bottom icons to unlock my phone. Once I had it unlocked the home and back icon is not working. Plz help me fix this aggravating issue

My LG F6M500 won't turn on?

Posted: 19 Jan 2016 12:48 PM PST

I was using my phone in class and all of a sudden some popup came on saying to hold the power button to turn it off, and two seconds later it turned off. I didn't even do anything. I tried to charge it, i held down the power button with volume/home/ etc. I also tried taking out the battery but when i put it back in it starts to turn on but then after the LG symbol it turns back off, but if i try this while connected to the charger it won't work, I don't know what else to do, my sister gave me this phone because she got a new one and it was working for a good 5 months until now. It's not that old a phone either.

S5 Recovery Password lost - No google retrieval option

Posted: 19 Jan 2016 12:42 PM PST

Hi all,

So my father has an S5 and played with it when he first got it (>1year ago) and apperantly had added his fingerprint & a recovery password.

He put a bunch of data in private mode by mistake today and absolutely needs it for work. He's tried a bunch of passwords and all of them get rejected. Eventually he gets told he needs to wait 30sec. After the 30 seconds it just asks him for the same password. We've tried using the fingerprint (never used it so not sure how it works but no reaction from the phone) and we've tried to access the fingerprint & recovery password settings to change them but we can't get in without the recovery password..

I've read online that there should be an option to recover using the google account attached but we can't find it, but this seems to be for locked out devices. My dad has no password on his so that isn't an issue, it's in the settings that we are stuck

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Lollipop 5.1.1 battery 0% bug and Sony Bridge gor mac fury

Posted: 19 Jan 2016 12:41 PM PST

I've had issues with my phone since first accepting lollipop last May 2015.

I currently have the latest firmware. 14.6.A.1.236 lollipop 5.1.1

Now the phone just randomly cuts out to 0% from any random number, e.g 75% or 46% and powers down with no notice.

But then you charge it for maybe only 10mins and it says 75% again and quickly reaches 100%. Too quickly to be really doing so.

The battery usage app shows it cutting out on the graph. I've read its a bug in Google's android app.

The battery drops rapidly down when the phone is asleep and over night. I'm barely getting to use it!

I thought it was a launcher I was trying out called TSF launcher but after uninstalling that, it's still happening. The only other apps I've installed lately are Amazon underground to watch films and the new lollipop update installed an Amazing Shopping app.

I can't repair my phone because on my Macbook Pro from 2008, running mountain lion 10.8, Sony bridge for Mac is utterly rubbish!

After getting the latest update for Sony Bridge, it now detects the phone but when I try and repair it, it stops with an error saying ping is not working and to check my internet connection, when that is fine!

I paid £380 outright for my phone in May 2014 and it's the biggest mistake ever in gadetry!

The magnetic charge port falls out when I connect that up and the main charge port goes through micro usb cables all the time.

Even without this current sudden battery death, I'm charging my phone every 7 hours and don't really use it that much but for a bit of whatsapp, shopping, browsing and Facebook.

Any thoughts, similar experiences or fixes?

I used to have an HTC Desire i rooted and loved the freedom but I don't want to root this as still have warranty till May but can't let it go off for repair.

Vibration alerts gone...where to?

Posted: 19 Jan 2016 12:36 PM PST

Where did they go? I used to be able to just use the side volume control and turn it all down and it would mute the ringer but allow notifications for texts and emails. That, suddenly has gone. I have tried everything I can think of to do. Setting priorities does nothing. The moment that the ringer turns off, the vibration icon grays out. I get it back if I turn the ringer to its lowest setting but I do not want that. At work, having just the vibration running for calls and texts was perfect. Now, I cannot get anything. It is driving me crazy.

And yes, I have cycled it off and on. Nothing resets.

My wifi icon keeps shutting off, why does this happen?

Posted: 19 Jan 2016 12:34 PM PST

Whenever my phone (screen) is rotated, my WIFI icon will shut off or de-highlight. And forsay, whenever my WIFI icon is on, it shows no connections or options.
