Contest Voting

I have entered my story of how I got engaged in a contest. The top 20 go to the next round. I figure what better way to get the word out than to share it with my xda friends? So, check out the following link and vote for our story. You can vote once per day from now until May 8th. Thanks in advance for your support!
JIC - Jewelry Information Center - Ultimate Proposal Contest

Just priming the off topic pump for those late night forum junkies! Happy voting!

Seeing as how you have been a member since 2008 and you only have 44 posts I would feel "used" if I voted for you. Good luck anyway.

Bummer. I don't necessarily find the need to post all the time and spam the development forums. There have been rare times that I can actually provide valuable input and when those times do occur, I post. Also, since I am not a very involved developer, I am not creating anything new. I am using the forums for the great information that is out there to tweak the past 4 or 5 phones I have had. That being said, I haven't run into many problems when doing the hacking so I, again, haven't had the need to post that something didn't work for me. It normally works just fine since I read the directions and follow it closely.
Regardless, no hard feelings in the slightest. Thanks anyway.

If anyone is surfing the web today, feel free to show your support by voting. Thanks in advance!

Any voters out there?

Just tried to vote. Sorry man, I don't vote in things that make me sign in to do it. Even though it's just fb, I don't want to inadvertently sign up for things I don't want. I don't want the jewelry company spamming my fb. Otherwise I would.

Thanks for trying. I normally have the same sentiments. My plan is just to remove the app when the contest is done voting. Also, you could sign up for a contest account by providing your email. So far they haven't sent any junk email. I have a junk email address though for specifically places that I think might spam me.
Anyway, thanks for the try and comments. Her hand just had to get a little stronger and she is dealing with the strain.

We are moving on up! Keep up the voting to those who want to. I know it is a pain but your support is appreciated.

Just voted. Good luck

No, but on stock ROM rooted you will still get the notification and it will still download but it will fail to install.

As long as you have a stock recovery and not a custom one you can take an OTA. You will probably loose root though.

How are you going to ask that but then not see his reply about him apologizing for not seeing it because he got the notification and came straight here. So get the hack out of this thread and quit trying to be cool by an attempted flame that already apologized AND answered your "flaming question" before you even ask it but then you ask why he didn't see something?

haha for real? here's a response formatted in the long run-on sentence structure that you like to use because I fear if I don't use it you won't get my point.
"How are you going to flame me but then go on to say that it's not cool to flame when you clearly don't understand what the point of pointing out this kind of lazy behavior is? So go troll somewhere else and quit trying to be some sort of pseudo mod by trying call out legitimate criticisms of other users because you don't understand that apologizing for doing something wrong while performing it doesn't make it right ESPECIALLY considering the facts the OP gave us about not turning his phone on for a week. Who would come on here and assume they are the first to get an update without thoroughly checking? and make a thread in the dev section so rashly? The OP would. So I called him out on it. So he won't be inclined to make the same mistake twice. I can only hope that this post will be as beneficial for you.
good day.

Atleast he is trying to contribute by uploading files.... Can't be mad at that even tho he's a little late to the party. It could have been much worse with a what's the best 4.3 ROM or a install question thread.

I really hate to be that guy, but this really doesn't belong in the development section.

Well hot dang....
I am currently on trip and have not turned on my phone on for the benefit of my family. I was in the airport when I first turned it on to see what I missed. Since it came up when I turned it on, I came here first as I've been dying for an update and I was willing to bet that others were in the same boat. I did what I would normally do with updates and download them and upload them somewhere for safe keeping. Then came here and posted my screenshots and moved on. It wasn't until I got into the plane that I saw that its been about a week, that its been out, and that development goes on with or without me. Sure I didn't have to apologize in advance and sure I didn't have to put the disclaimer at the bottom that if what i posted up was old news then please delete. I would of been fine with the thread being deleted or moved in which case it was. I've been here for so long and have contributed to numerous threads and development to know that if something new comes out, jump on it and share the info with the everyone. It wasn't to flame on the threads, it wasn't to spam and clutter the dev section. The mere fact that this happen show immaturity.
A simple note saying please move thread to general discussion would of suffice, not bring hatred and ignorance into a community that is devoted to acquire knowledge and to share it.
While some of us don't have that pleasure to get updates first, I have been blessed with having on time or in Moto case, Moto feedback team which I have always participated in. Again plain and simple I tried to help by providing info and supply for devs out there to work on. Yes It would of been simple for me to thorough look thru the threads and see whats been going on. And I did that after posting and did see that I was not first. Thats fine. It wasn't laziness that brought this, it was something that jumped on in the hopes to help out. But take the hatred else where as if your going to take offence in someone trying to help then you dont belong here, plain and simple.

[Q] My battery gets extremely hot is this normal

Hello I just upgraded from the droid maxx to the droid turbo and I love this phone bit for some reason whenever I do any sort of thing on it. The CPU gets extremely hot. According to my pjone y CPU has reached all the way to 139°f and right now I am only using the internet and it has gone from 90°f to 134°f. Is this normal? I can understand if I am using a lot of apps at one time but I am only using the internet and it keeps getting hotter and the app I am using to check my CPU temputure says that at this tempurture it can damage my phone. Should I take it in to have it looked at?

Apparently this is a common problem. I just called VZW today about it and they are overnighting me a brand new device since they have no refurbs left due to sending out so many replacements.

Thank you for the information. I just called them and they said because I bought the phone less than 2 weeks ago they will replace it with a brand new one. However, I wonder if they are ever going to be able to root the droid turbo. Because if they ever do that will help the battery life and would probably other things like the heating problem

I wish I could say I was even hopeful for root at this point but there seems to be no interest in working on a Verizon exclusive Moto device. Our only chance, in my opinion, is if we can benefit from someone taking on this years Moto X.

The battery is going to get hot because of many things. Its not a over heating issue. Just because Verizon says it is doesnt make it a problem. Verizon half the time has no clue. Call motorola they will give u the best information. They will tell you its normal.

Read my post a little more carefully next time. It says "there seems to be no interest", not to mention none of the Motos havent seen a full root exploit since 444 came out. Roughly a year of no further development for an OEM would suggest little to no interest in my opinion

Again if u read post from others ....and I quote "if people are working on root exploit usually they would wait till the next big OS release which would be lollipop and also they would not post anything to avoid commentors like yourself from bugging them about the exploit". Its common knowledge here on XDA. Research it sometime.

Commenters like myself? Are you serious?! Last I checked there a no rules about posting your opinion whenever you please. Never once have I asked a Dev for an ETA or update. So unless stating your point of view on a subject would deter a Dev from releasing anything, which is unlikely, how about you get off your high horse and quit acting like an entitled troll. Its commenters like you that have given XDA a bad rep

Sprint M8 goes Lollipop today!

Seems that Sprint has started pushing Lollipop out to M8 and HK phones today...
Not sure if it's a 5.0.0 or 5.0.1 or 5.0.2 although yesterday someone claimed it was the . 2 version....

Yay! Now all the flashaholics can be get their fix haha.

This is probably a repeat of the last couple of times where they post it on their website 2-7 days before they actually start pushing it. As far as I can tell zero people have actually gotten the OTA.

Sweet! I can't wait. I don't want S-OFF but I need root so I'm going to have to flash an RUU. I tested it last week. I flashed an RUU of that 5.31.25 update and it downloaded the OTA to 531.33 with no problems.

Pretty annoyed... This update seems to be made out of vapor.

I've been told by people who I know have been testing the 5.1 update that it's ready as well. It seems like it was pushed back again for an unnamed reason. Mo Versi has seemingly been inactive on twitter and Des said, "It could be today, tomorrow, or a couple of days."

This is annoying as ****. They keep delaying it day by day. It's fine if they announce it days or weeks prior that it'll be delayed but this is just playing with us.

This is for sure annoying. Been waiting to update my ROM seeing as how I'm gonna have to restore to stock to get the firmware anyway. Wish they could just stick with a date....oh well, guess I'll hope for the best tomorrow now

Hope it's out before Windows 10 :/

Since windows 10 is already rtm and available to all insiders, I'd say that is past.

Yeah. I kinda meant the official July 29th date..

I gotta assume it'll be this week. Something must have happened last minute that stopped them, no matter what they were saying I think the intention was for them to release yesterday but there was a final hold up

Does anyone even know what the changes are besides the ones included in 5.1?

Totally agree. When there is a date mentioned, and it's now two days after that date something should be said by Mo.
The other guy has been trying to keep up with things, but his "last minute" obviously isn't on the same wave length as all of our definitions of the term.

I agree 100% with this. They're being purposefully vague. It would be easy to say, "Hey we discovered a last minute bug so it's on temporary hold." Their just blowing smoke our way trying to shut us up. I won't shut up though because my phone overheats for nothing. You can look at it wrong and it'll shoot up to 110°F.
