Hi guys,
I recently bought my Moto 360 2nd gen. After 4 weeks, it started to fail pushing messages through. In the beginning, unreliable, now, nothing except for. My step count....
I restart my watch everyday, disconnect and connect with my phone, factory restarted it several times. Only for 15 min, it tends to work, than, the same described above.
Now, I found out, when I wake up my phone it push messages through, and music toggles are working. Messages which are received by my phone before I picked it up will not be pushed through though.
Does anyone can help me with this issue, before I go to ask my money back from Motorola, because I start to get frustrated!
I bought it to leave my phone in my pocket, now, I have it in my hands even more:crying:

I changed it, I'll let you know if it worked!
Do you have other possible solutions?
Thanks. Very much!!
Hey rocketSauce83, I've been using it for a couple of days now. I can confidently say that it is up and running how it supposed to be! Super smooth! Thanks a lot for your help and a happy new year!

hey.. i have the same problem with my moto 360 2015. i dont have any idea what you mean by delete. i have tried everything except phone reset. i tried pairing my watch with my old tablet and everything is working fine. i think it started after the latest security patch on my phone. BTW my phone is note 4 still on lollipop(no marshmallow yet) and not rooted. i need help solving, thanks in advance
update:
I have just found the cause of the problem. It was the new app optimization feature that samsung installed on my device after the latest update. i just disabled the optimization on my AW app.
So I'm having this very strange yet pretty awkward to recreate issue, where the phone will freeze on certain apps, mostly ones that require storage (camera, gallery, settings, etc). It will freeze for a good minute or so before either finishing its task, saying the app is not responding and asking me to wait or close, or it will just forget the task completely.
The most noticeable instance regarding this is when I simply try to take photos with the camera. When I've taken a good 5-10 photos at least, I go to the gallery and I don't see my pictures there. Okay, so I go back to the camera to try take more pictures - it's frozen. The camera still moves but the shooting/recording button(s) don't do anything. I wait a while - gallery opens automatically either with my photos there or not, it's really indecisive as to when and if it will keep the photos or videos I took.
I have already returned the phone to Samsung who claimed the issue was repaired after it being returned only 1-2 working days of me sending it (suspicious?) whilst I have a feeling all they did was factory reset the phone (even though I already did this - as I wrote such on a form I had to fill out, print and send with the phone physically). I mentioned the issue in great detail and how to recreate it but it seems Samsung can't even fix an issue on their own device.
However in all fairness to Samsung, it is very hard to recreate after a factory reset. It does only seem to happen when the internal memory is actually being used, as I found out when I put all my music back onto the phone. Currently my phone is full of around 90GB worth of music (the device has 128GB storage, so it's definitely not full, close to full, nor should it give any reason for apps to freeze) and absolutely no custom apps installed whatsoever (as I was told not to install anything from the Play Store during return of the phone to Samsung - even though they factory reset it once again anyway). I noticed after receiving the phone back today after I put my music back onto it that the apps started freezing up again. So the issue is still occurring.
This does seem to have only started happening since an Android update though (to 6.0.1 I believe?) or it genuinely might just be a hardware fault that Samsung is not diagnosing. But if anyone is able to help me diagnose it (or possibly resolve it) so I can prove to Samsung there is an issue with the device itself, that would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a lot for reading
Have you found a solution bro????

I ended up RMA'ing the phone to Samsung and they said there was no issue with the phone.
Apparently some app is causing the freezing as the issue seems to be non-existent (or at least very infrequent) when the phone as no apps from the play store installed on it. Didn't really find the time either to test it for a long period without any play store apps installed because, frankly, what's the point of a smartphone without being able to use it for the apps you merely use the smartphone for?
I just upgraded to an S7 instead and currently it's running fine with the same apps (internal memory 32gb, external memory 128gb). Haven't had a single freezing issue with the camera or anything since purchase.

Did you try what I did? Which is to hard reset (re-install) the phone. Try use it without any apps installed for a while and see if the issue still persists.
If it does still persist when you have no apps installed, go ahead and RMA it. It should still be under warranty if you only bought it recently. Even if it's not, shouldn't cost too much to fix it (hopefully).

Boot to safe mode and leave it like that for a while. If there is no freezing or crashing then it's caused by a 3rd party app. If freezing and hanging occurs it's faulty emmc.
Hi,
I have a lot of trouble with my wife's Galaxy Alpha phone.
Sometimes, it switch off alone.
Last time it was when charging, it starts to charge for 5 min, then switch off showing the logo during switch off, as if it was requested by software (not a battery problem).
Sometimes it restarts normaly as soon as I press the power button (boot normaly), but sometimes, it bootloops.
I found a workaround for it, having to press the power button until complete boot (asking pincode), then releasing the power button and entering the pincode, and it works normaly, for some days.
Seems pehaps an hardware issue ?
This starts a month ago, without any related causes.

First try to flash stock firmware with odin.
If this didn't help it's very possible to be a hardware problem.

In fact both.
It appears first time when I was using the original rom.
Then I flashed a new rom using odin.
It worked without any problems for a week, and reapered.

Yeah sorry, but I think it's a hardware problem... Try at a service, maybe it's something simple and costs less.

The shutdown seems to be related to Google Play. The phone shutdown when updating some applications through Google Play !
Is there a revert to stock google play application and force it to never update again ?
Seems that the latest version of google play have some troubles.

I didn't encountered this issue on my alpha, try a factory reset.
Battery issue, maybe....?
I have an old battery and the symptoms are similar. The efficiency is no longer the same and sometimes it turns itself off suddenly.
My other battery is newer and it doesn't happens.
These batteries are fragile and lose reliability quickly (most noticeable after a year, depending on usage).
Seems that I have fixed the problem. A hardware one.
After opening the phone... completely so that able to manipulate the motherboard I found that the small connector to the power button was not correctly fixed.
After a deep cleaning of all the contacts on the motherboard and fixing the connector I reassembled everything.
It is now working well for more than 3 days without any issues.

Glad to know that you fixed the phone.
Finally, after one week, dead again...
I think that the only solution for me is to replace the motherboard.
Changed the motherboard with a new one bought on AliExpress. Everything fine now.

Does the device still work?
Im experiencing same issues with a new battery installed, i have also tried cleaning the device connectors and after reading this, figuring i might actually do the same as you, buy a new mobo online.

I bought a new mobo, now it works perfectly fine, I actually bought two just in case I broke something while installing it, but first one is good to go, experiencing some drain issues tho with my old battery tho, so i have to recycle that. Any way, it all ended well and now I got another mobo incase this one breaks ^^

Greetings. My Samsung Galaxy Alpha is dead since 2016. Not charging, not turning on. If possible send me the exact AliExpress seller link. One more thing, is it possible to find the front facing camera of this device? When i give my device to a technician he lost the camera. The camera was 2.1 megapixel.

Hello, guys. I am recovering my Xperia Z2 to be used by my Mum right now, I am getting a battery replacement and a microphones replacement. Before, I have checked the waterproofness of the phone, but it seems that I got killed micros and I have completely stuck with a microphone issue. People hear me like I am staying in a tunnel, that's why I just purchased the S7 Edge and didn't mind it. But, the Nexus 4 died, and I would like to give a sony to my Mum.
I would like to get rid off from a rooted 6.0 with a couple of tweaks (useless), xposed, e.t.c, also I have the recovery installed, and I don't want to get the recovery erased. And, I want to get a fresh install of 5.0.2/5.1.1. But, I would like to keep it rooted, and install the Cyberian Camera on it.
Or, any other rom which would possibly have a working microphone drivers.
I just don't remember all this things, because I haven't flashed the phones for ages. Please asssist me, I would be really thankful. :cyclops:

1 - download your FTF rom http://xperiafirmware.com;
2- Install Recovery Preferably TWRP;
3- Flash kernel to downgrade;
4- flash kernel to update;
5- flash SuperSU.
Good luck
Guys, maybe someone would be interestered:
I have found a solution of Xperia's Z2 microphone issue. I have replaced the Z2's microphones with Z3's microphones, and now, the phone calls are clear, and the phone works perfeclty. I decided to keep the 6.0, because with a new micros, same frimware worked fine. But, I still had too much **** installed, and I have just perfromed a fresh install of eXistenZ. I had a talk with a guy from a Sony repair shop, and he said that this thing with Z3 micros working 100%. This is not a software program, don't waste your time.
Hi guys.
I'm quite new here so forgive me if I put the post in the wrong place.
Let me try to describe my issues with my phone.
A couple months ago I got a new LG V60 from my wife (brand new but without warranty).
The first problem I noticed after a few days was that the fingerprint scanner wasn't working properly. I mean everyone can unlock my phone after a few tries placing finger on the scanner at an angle.
When I try to unlock the phone by fingerprint it takes ages (it's very difficult to unlock the phone for the first time). I was trying remove saved fingerprint and create a new one but the problems is still there.
Another problem is with losing signal from satellites when using navigation. I was trying Google maps, Sygic and TomTom and it's look like the Google works best but there is still problem with signal, quite often I get information about 'searching position'.
Next one is that the phone is freeze sometimes and I have to restart it to work properly. It's happening around once a week.
I was trying hard reset but it didn't fix it, then I downloaded the original firmware with android 10. I don't know if it helped because I got lots of updates and it ended up on the Android 12 again. At the beginning of use after this operation the phone was working better but after a couple of weeks the same problems came back.
I'd like to add if I want to do a back up I get information like this "the required google certificate has been deleted". On Android 10 this information wasn't appearing.
Do you have guys any idea what's wrong with this phone?
Thank you in advance.

I also have the v600TM on Android 10. I have had no problems with the fingerprint except after the first time I unlocked the bootloader (see 1st post for the fix). I did not allow an update to Android 11 or 12. Maybe you should try the fingerprint on A10 for awhile before moving to 12.
Hopefully you don't have one of those Chinese refurbs pretending to be new!

Hi
Thank you for the reply.
Maybe you right and I should try to use the phone on android 10 and see if it's works properly. I'll see what happens.
Do you know when android 13 will be available for V60?
As a owner of the V30, V40 I'm really disappointed of the V60 now.

Hi,
You're welcome. When you are new to a forum or group, its like you are invisible.
My current main phone is the V30. The V60 has been more difficult than past phones to configure the way I want. When I installed TWRP a few months ago it was a DISASTER! Installing MicroG (to replace google play services) has also not worked out well. I have limited funds and I am beginning to wonder if the V60 was a good choice.
There is already an Android 13 beta for some versions of the V60.
The thing with V60 is that it is newer than V30. So a lot of fixes are not fully cooked. With LG gone from the scene, there is no incentive for developers to pursue it with any dedication. I don't know if TWRP will be fully built for this phone.

I do remember how slow the V30 was in the beginning. Now the V30 has a bunch of ROMs and an OFFICIAL LineageOS! I hope the V60 goes the same way. I doubt it, though.

Hi guys
It's me again with another problem
As for the above problems that I wrote about, I decided not to do anything about it for now and patiently wait for the android 13 update and see what happens.
How happy I was when two days ago I received the opportunity to download the update.
The joy did not last long, as it turned out that I'm unable to download the update.
Previously, I got information like 'The phone is being use and update will be downloaded later' (or something similar). Now the update downloads for a while and pops up 'Installation problem' and cannot be downloaded (always in the same time). I restarted the phone, deleted apps, changed from WiFi to mobile data and still the same.
Do you have guys any ideas what can I do with it?
As far as I know the phone is from US (T-mobile) and I live in the UK.
Thank you in advance for your help

How to check if the bootloader is unlocked?
As I said before I haven't done anything yet with the phone as I was waiting for the update but I'd like to check it, maybe the bootloader was already unlocked

When the phone is starting up (after being off or rebooting) it will say something like: This phone cannot be checked for corruption. Lock the bootloader.
If the bootloader is locked I suggest you backup before doing a factory reset.
