Glad you got it going.

Nothing to do with Nova. Go to "Settings/System/ Gestures/Swipe up on home button" and turn off via toggle.

I go t the update today successfully but I am not unlocked or rooted as of yet. This is what I thought. I just got the February security update today. I would not expect much past August. I will say that I honestly have no reason to root at this point. No bloatware and many of the...

Just to chime in... I was under the impression that official EOS for the A1 version of the X4 ends towards the middle or end of summer. A1 devices are supposed to get 2 years of upgrades and 3 years security updates.

For the price and the specs at the time, the phone was unbeatable even with its less than stellar battery. I still have it as a backup and a phone to play with.

Agreed. Even though I have a "replacement" phone, I still find myself using the MXPE quite a bit. For the features it is still hands down one of the best phones I have ever owned value wise.

Moto X4 and Moto X4 A1 are unlocked phones and Motorola will provide the bootloader unlock code (this does void your warranty). The only exception to this unlock is the Amazon subsidized version to the best of my knowledge.

I got the update today as well, which came as a surprise. I was wondering the same thing regarding some urgent fix. Maybe they are trying to appease the masses over not getting Android 10 by providing faster security updates. I feel like they wiggled out of providing the upgrade. Technically...

Agreed...the model number should be right next to the charge port. Also an FYI is that the Amazon editions typically show advertisements on the lockscreen. If the bootloader is unlockable then I am pretty sure you can root. Check the Moto unlock site and see if you can get the unlock code...

Just for clarification for those having issues... What variant (1900-1, -7, etc.) are you using? Is it the regular edition or the Android one? And most importantly, which update was received when the problems started?

It took a very long time to update on mine. I initially thought it was a botched OTA but it eventually completed...many hours later.

If you did not submit and get the bootloader unlock from Moto then there is nothing you can do to keep the current settings except keep getting the update notifications. If you had so many problems with the bootloader unlock and want to avoid it, then the only way to stop the notifications is...

jhedfors gave you a potential recommendation. Did you try it and it not work? Don't dismiss someone offering a potential solution as not being helpful if it does not work. Without knowing what actions you had taken to stop the update notification, the best way to troubleshoot is to start...

I can agree with the speaker being okay at best. The battery is actually really good all things considered (AMOLED would have been great) and you would be hard pressed to find something that is significantly better if you are a heavy phone gamer (assuming this based off your post). As far as the...

Same here. I came from the Moto x pure and the only thing I have really missed is the sound volume.

As of today my Moto X4 A1 shows the latest security update as April 1, 2019 and the update check says it is up to date. Can anyone confirm this is accurate? UPDATE: I have received the security update for May 1, 2019.

TBH, now that I have the Moto X4 and seen Android Pie in action, I don't think an SD Card slot matters as much anymore. With Google Photos backing up everything (in a lower resolution) and backing up full quality photos to a PC, the need is much less. I only have it to download videos offline...

Well I jumped on the Moto X4 Android one since I got it new for $150. This far the only thing I kinda of miss are the stereo speakers and the volume. I honestly have not missed the larger screen or higher resolution and since I'm not huge on taking pictures, the camera setup is more than...

What is not working as expected of you don't mind me asking?

Let us know the status in a few months. Many of the non legit batteries start of well but after a few months, the battery life drastically shortens.

As far as we know iFixit is selling legit batteries. I have seen no reviews that would indicate otherwise, but I have not seen any that confirm it either.

You probably will not find a solution as no one has really developed a lollipop ROM utilizing the MM or N bootloader/ radio.

Well ATM, I'm sticking with T-Mobile. Because of my job and location, I'm in an area where TMobile is my only option and my work contact is for at least 2 more years in the area. Service providers is not really an issue unless it is a CDMA phone.

There battery is done and a ROM will not do anything to save it or but you some more time.

Wow. Since I first got the phone 3 years ago, i personally just have had very little time to delve much into doing custom ROMs and kernels for this device due to work scheduling I'm moving to a new job this month and should have more time on my hands. I'm probably going to get back into things.

I think the main part being covered is that there is no need to relock the bootloader which you did not specifically mention.

The CPU for the most part does pretty well scaling up and down based off processing needs. You probably just don't have CPU intensive apps so didn't notice much. You notice the GPU while playing games though. I think for the most part setting to a lower resolution might help with games at lower...

LoL... With your SOT and game times, your battery is holding up pretty well. I would not expect much of an increase from any battery replacement you may get. Regarding batteries from Amazon, be wary-especially of those claiming more mAh. Typically higher mAh means a larger battery so be...

I've looked at the e5 plus but never jumped on it. I was impressed with it overall considering it is considered a low budget phone at release. Budget phones have come a long way in a few years. I really don't feel like I need a sd8xx given my usage but think a SD6XX should fit nicely provided...

Even with nougat I've had a pleasant experience on the MXPE. Shy of battery life, it was a nearly a perfect phone IMO.

Thanks for the input. Reviews I have read have been kind of a mixed bag for the Nokia 6.1. For the price, the Moto X4 is looking like the better option. But I may stick it out a little while longer with my MXPE.

I figured as much. Any thoughts on the Nokia 6.1? It has a slight larger screen and a solo camera but specs are pretty much similar.

Moto X4 Android one version is currently $150 32GB model and $199 64GB model. 32GB with expandable storage is more than adequate for my needs. Anyone think this is a good deal? Granted I would give up stereo speakers, but given the phones release date age, what do you think? For slightly more...

LoL... I'm game, but I think I can safely speak for most of us following your work that we would prefer you keep your focus working on this ROM atm. With so few devs left supporting this device, it is nice to see you so active. Your current work for the MXPE is greatly appreciated. Perhaps later.

LoL...I still have my Inspire running ICS. Edit: if for some reason your urge takes over, I'll test Pie for you.

RR is a good choice from what I've read. Glad all is well. Enjoy.

I personally stick with rooted stock. Mileage varies person to person on custom so I just play it safe. If you go stock rooted, make sure you pay attention when flashing the stock nougat and do the steps in the post that keeps your bootloader unlocked. After stock ROM is flashed, temp flash...

Assuming you have the XT1575, you can try here. This will bring you up to stock nougat with an OTA out there if you choose to take it. Just a couple of caveats if you flash nougat: Once you do so it limits the availability of custom roms greatly. As far as I know this is the last available...

Flash one??? You want stock or custom?

I think the ifixit kit was for those who need the tools as well. They also sell just the battery for $32.99 which is around what I paid for mine on eBay. Mine is still going strong after 7 months. Let us know how the $14 battery treats you and the link to it.

I don't think rooting solutions will get you much of a difference. It would be better to focus on what is known. Did you get better SOT times before and if so when did things change? Could the battery replacement be the culprit? Pinpointing what may be your issue(s) is difficult. The way the...

6 hrs... Sure.. Most likely only on airplane mode in low light low brightness and doing something basic like reading a book. "Normal" day to day usage though, 3 to 4 hrs SOT is what you can expect.

You used the word still. Does this mean that you did not notice any discernable change in battery life after applying the steps in the OP post? I am assuming there are things you did not do (otherwise it would be just a "dumb phone"). How long have you had the phone and is it the original...

Just go to the Post below for more info. Ifixit is involved with it so I would imagine it is legit. They can sell just the battery or the entire kit. I personally got mine off ebay and got lucky. 7+ months and still going strong...

I wish you the best for your battery lasting. I was lucky enough to get a good one and thus far it is going strong after nearly 7 months. I love this phone despite it having worse battery life when compared to some of its peers out there. Battery life is good enough for me.

From what I have read, I've seen this same recommendation. I've seen the recommendation to charge to 80% then don't let the battery get below 40%. How accurate... Can't say. I generally stock to 90% or so and will jump charge as needed when possible. For the most part, you definitely want to...

LoL... It is only dead if it is unusable IMO. In terms of development, there is still a couple of them out there but many have moved on.

No problems. Enjoy and Happy Holidays to everyone.

A little more info would be helpful. What model, baseband, and/or stock system version were you on before trying to flash? What ROM were you trying to flash? Just based off what little you have given you need to "upgrade" but knowing specifics allows for pointing you in the right direction. One...

No. Just spent a year or so up that way. Too cold for my taste.
