I believe this was fixed in the January security release. No more getting around factory resets.
This was in fact fixed in the January release.

Yeah it is fixed so you can't enable developer options straight away, but there's a way around it as google hasn't fixed how you reach the dialer and settings, though I don't care to share more.
This was only meant for people got stuck out of their phone and locked phones don't update, so no worries.

Yeah and the guy is a f'kin ninja stealing from other people's work. Someone had the instructions pasted with a video, this clown deleted it and is ranting on it as if he reinvented the wheel.

So did anyone else get the Sprint message about getting their Photon to run faster, which suggested clearing the browser cache? - Bigger question is did anyone else notice that the Photon in the picture was running either ICS or JB!? It was, complete with the new rounded click/weather widgets and five icons along the bottom of the screen. Now if they'd only distribute and release the source, it would make the devs jobs easier, having ICS/JB drivers.

Well [email protected]! - I read the message and at a quick gander the very subtle differences don't stand out. Of course there's no reason the think those dip-sticks would use the picture of the wrong phone. I was all excited seeing the ICS/JB OS too.
Fingers crossed that new parent Google slaps some sense into Motorola and unlocks the boot loader and releases ICS or JB soon with source code. You know the expression about the chances being slim to none, well slim is on life support I guess.

And is there anything whatsoever in your experience that would conceivably lead you to expect them to be as early as possible rather than as late as possible?
That, of course, leaves aside the question of whether there's anything in your experience that would lead you to expect them to honor this claim in the first place.
Ah ! Moto at it again. With Photon Q LTE out with JB, it is unlikely that we will now get an update to either ICS or JB, even though Google 'promised' to keep hardware refreshed for 18 months. We will most likely be extended an olive branch of $100 credit towards another 'Moto Phone' ... really Moto ?
This is my last Moto phone and likely last Android as well. I am ready to convert to Lumia 920.

Technically the 18 months is not over yet. It has only been close to 14 months since the release of the Photon 4G so Motorola could pull something out of its hat and possibly give us a JB update in early January 2013. All these hints about offering $100 for a future Moto device for any 2011 devices that don't receive the ICS upgrade is pretty telling to me.
So last week I kept receiving texts from AT&T on 10/26 ,asking me how was my replacement device and to make sure I return my old phone. I ignored them because , my pops was robbed at gun point on 10/20 and I was assuming that he used my line or something to replace his, since we're on a family plan together. But after talking to him and finding out that he went to the store and purchased another phone out of pocket, I finally go online and check my account and low and behold there was not just one, but TWO CLAIMS! One on 10/18 and then another one on 10/22, just four days later for a total of $398.00!
So after calling AT&T and Asurion insurance company for about three days and finding out that they shipped the phones to Fort Worth , Texas and Justin, Texas....WHEN I LIVE IN FORT LAUDERDALE ,FLORIDA! I finally got the charges reversed , me personally I do not see how you can approve of two claims within 4 days? And then today I get a call from a close friend of mine who also has a Note that he also received false claims on his account on the same two dates the 10/18 and 10/22 and both phones where shipped to somewhere in Texas too! So now we're both trying to figure out how in the hell did this happen, the only thing we have in common is we both run custom ROMS on our Notes FJ UCLF6 and I'm not in anyway saying that was or is the problem, but just that's the only thing we have that connects us.And he says that he never calls AT&T about his account from his phone, but I do.
All I can say is watch your accounts and make sure there's a extra password on your account!

Question..When you called asking about the claims..Did you ask for the addresses were they were shipping the phones to? Since it was your account they should release the info as of where they shipped them exactly? once you get that adress you can call the local authorities there and talk to a detective regarding that?

Once I told them that I didn't make the claims, they refused to tell me the address , just the city and state. They claim that they're going to blacklist the phones and they would handle the investigation as far as notifying the proper authority.

What would make you think its an inside job? Just because AT&T corporate headquarters is in Dallas and the fraud phones were shipped to a Fort Worth address?? I'm sure that's merely a co-incidence :angel:
BTW the gestures security issue was infact that screenshots could be taken without the users knowledge. I'm not saying that's what got your account hacked but it is possible.
The gesture security was really a minor issue. PA's dev left XDA because the issue was made to be alot bigger than what it really was.
In any case, inside job is definitely possible. AT&T may try to blacklist the phones, which I highly suspect that they can actually do, but these phones are unlocked and sold to Europe and Asia.

What does this have to do with PA? The problem was also in Cyanogen.
And I don't see what any of this has to do with passwords, being hacked, etc... All paranoid conjecture.
So it should be today that we get Lollipop. If you have received the OTA let people know here and post screenshots and findings (and URLs..)
wait
Im so excited about it. I hope we dont wait too much.
Yeah me too!
Since my Nexus 7 LTE and Note 4 will take a few more weeks to get the Lollipop glory.
Just done a format and flashed the stock ROM, now battering the check for update button...
Somehow I'm thinking we'll get the factory images sooner than full OTA today or tomorow, and OTAs should start throughout November up until Nexus 9 LTE and Nexus 6 are out
And here's me thinking that I don't know if I care for 5.0 without xposed :/
Oh well I did a nandroid backup so I can always roll back
Flashed back to stock and ready!

As it stands it simply doesn't work with art.
If the dev actually goes back to it to make it work again then it will. For now its simply safer to assume that there shall be no xposed for ART (and therefore 5.0+)

Unfortunately the situation is not that optimistic, as Rovo89 (the author of Xposed) said:
rovo89 said:
...in short: Wait until the final images and source code drop. Then wait again until it's ready. I can't give any estimation when that will be the case, it depends much on my personal situation. Chance are pretty low that it will be within a month after Lollipop release, and will get higher once I start thinking about flashing a Lollipop ROM myself (which would probably be CM12, and I think these guys won't give us a timeline either, for good reasons). I'm still not 100% sure Xposed for Lollipop will work, but I hope that in some way it will, even if it might not be as compatible with most ROMs and as easy to install as it is for Android 4.x.

He wrote that months ago, that's one. Second - ART in the latest dev preview is pretty much finalized. Third - knowing XDA in general, adapting Xposed for 5.0 should not take more than a couple of weeks

Yup, its very strange. Can imagine why the beta 7`s are too buggy for an official release but now a delay for the monthly patch for the 6P! It will be up pretty soon though i guess.
NRD90R and NRD90S are out.
It appears the original release may have caused issues which is why they've held back on some devices and issued quick successive releases on the ones that have.

Not yet, these were released today so as long as they fix the issues I'd expect 6P to be releases in next day or so.

6.0.1 (MTC20L) is out for 6.0.1, but still no Nougat factory image...

If it fixed the issue it would have gone through beta testing last week and the 6p would get it the same time as the update going out for all other phones. The release they did today was Septembers security update.
Think there are other motives for holding it back.

I'm starting to think the same. But then again, why release the 5x images?
Maybe there's some exclusive N feature that's going to launch with the Pixel phones that'll also be on the 6P, but they want it to launch on that phone first before they roll it out in an update? Idk.

For as long as the developer previews have been out i can't believe they have this many bugs all the sudden. They have something up their sleeve, thats for sure. Just hope it's something good haha.
Every N ROM I've tried has had intermittent issues connecting to the camera (on the 6P). MM doesn't have those issues. Maybe that's one of the issues holding it back.

From my experience yes the factory reset will help. I've had updates occasionally lag my ZW2 (and LG G Watch) down so doing the factory reset will help. And while yes you can downgrade unless if you find a method to block OTA updates it will keep trying to force you to update to the latest OTA.
