MotoConnect broken on root? - Moto X Q&A

Just did a factory reset of my phone and rooted it yesterday - Cannot seem to get Moto Connect to work? Is the service down, or is this an issue regarding root?

I am rooted and connect still works for me..

Connect has been giving me problems since I got the phone

rooted, works fine.

mightytext in the play store works well on my phone. been using it long before moto connect was out. if you are having trouble check this out until moto makes their service more reliable. its a chrome extension as well and a website too.

You may have frozen some services that effect it... That's what I did and just managed to get it back.

legit wifi hotspot issues

just wanting to know if anyone with legit wifi hotspot is having issues with staying connected. it seems i can only stay on a couple mins. then i have to manually restart the hotspot. plus, half the time, when i turn off the wifi hotpsot my phone reboots. the only success i have had is using usb tethering. flawless and fast. just not happy with other issues. anyone having the same things happening? Edit. Verizon said to try a couple things and if they don't work wee will try a new phone.
Anyone have this issue?
Was your phone previously rooted?

I had rebooting issues only when being rooted.
i'm having issues
I always have with wifi and the marektplace only. Don't know if that helps but I downloaded the superuser update from the marketplace and fixed my wifi for about half a day. It works on the internet fine so i don't think i've having the same issues as you mine only doesn't use wifi on the marketplace. Must be some binary thing.

Had the issue before rooting. Had issue after rooting too.
I had this issue when I unrooted my phone.
There were a few apps not working right and causing me problems after unrooting.
I backed up my apks, then did a factory reset selecting to format my internal media area.
I lost all my settings, but I never had that problem again.

[APP] Latest Google Wallet Aug/01/2012

Pulled this from my Nexus 7. Works on my Nexus S running latest Jellybro Kang. Thought I would share as this version lets you use more than just a Citi or prepaid card.
Version R1.5-R75-v6.apk
I'm not on the nexus s, but do you know if this will work without a data connection? I know the n7 doesn't need one but my gnex does. I'm wondering if you need data for this version to work on a phone.

I keep getting a error when opening the app. Says "movie network or phone not supported" how do I fix this? I'm using adamg jellybelly!

Maybe I should give it a try.
I just uninstalled and reinstalled. No issues here. Also, I believe it does need data as payment info is stored in the cloud instead of the device itself.

Hmmm... I wonder why it works for the nexus 7 but wouldn't work like that for a phone. I tried to use wallet on my phone in a store the other day and in the middle of authentication I lost signal and had to start over. I may test pulling the wallet apk off my n7 and try installing on my phone to see if it works the same. Thanks guys!

How about networks other than Sprint and AT&T?
Does anybody know if this works on T-Mobile or other "blocked" networks?
Currently I am running the version patched by MoDaCo (1.1-R63-v12 See this thread) on my T-Mobile Nexus S. Unfortunately, this revision doesn't implement the new functionality to use cards other than Mastercard.
Does anyone know if the new apk still contains the device and carrier checks? If so then us T-Mobile people will still need a patched version.
yes it does contain the device/carrier checks... though you could always just try... instead of waiting for an answer... you would have known 5 minutes ago...
I just successfully installed it on my rooted T-Mobile Nexus S. Everything seems to be working fine. That Unsupported Device banner at the top is still there though. I haven't gone out to test it at a payment terminal yet.

The unsupported device warning is because your phone is rooted.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
I've been trying tutorials and tricks to get Wallet to install, to no avail, for >hour. This worked perfectly. Can't wait to try it with my Visa card now that they're supported.
Just tried it on the aokp kang on my i9020t on T-Mobile and got insecure element. Had to flash my nandroid that had 1.1 r41v8 installed which is really old unfortunately. Would love to get a newer version working...
Thanks for this. Installed fine and got my cards added on Kali's CM10... Now just have to try it out and see if I can still make purchases.

Unfortunately Google wallet is not yet available for your device or mobile Carrier
Anyone know how to get past this?
Installed on my VZN Nexus with the little banner due to I'm rooted and it seems to work just fine. Let me register, etc. I just have not tried it out at a store yet. We don't have to many places that accept it (or I just don't but a few).
Oh, thanks for the updated .apk Not sure why Verizon is such a [email protected]#$ and not let us use it.

If you aren't in the states, it won't work.
Why are rooted phones not supported, is it unsafe?

Its fine. It still works fine... they just won't support it if you have an issue. Basically saying they aren't responsible in case something were to happen.

Do unrooted people that are side loading the app still get the message because it wasent installed directly from the app store? I'm scared to do it with the message I would hate to be robbed and have Google tell me eh your rooted.

Wifi tethering on Verizon Kitkat??

Just ordered a Moto X for Verizon and I need to find information about tethering this phone to my pc. I use this alot because I have unlimited data through VZW... So it would be really nice to continue using it.

As of right now you'd need to root (then use WiFi Tether, or make the necessary changes to use the stock tethering). FoxFi doesn't work w/ the Moto X on KitKat at the moment. No word on when it will, but it may be related to a cert issue in KitKat.
Root is no issue for me... I think the longest any of my phones have gone without root access is maybe 6 days from purchase... I've always rooted my phones. First thing I researched when ordering the X was whether or not they had root for kitkat

try using easy tether ... and foxfi has updated and works on kitkat on my s4... get the add-on and key, and you're golden :good:
You didn't define whether the phone you ordered is a Developer Edition. Because as far as I know only the DE can be rooted on Verizon.

[Q] OK Google now issues

I have an XT1058 running the T-Mobile 4.4 software, in also rooted and running Greenify. I've also flashed radios from Brazil retail to be compatible with band 7 on Rogers.
Lately no matter how loud I yell OK Google now it doesn't activate, not even with the phone right in front of my face. Only when the phone is on it'll work but the phone has to be right in front of my face.
How do I fix it? Anyone else having the same issue?
Sent from my XT1053 using Tapatalk
Have you tried retraining your Moto X in a quiet room? I find that that helps a ton when mine gets buggy.

Anyone receive Verizon 4.4.2 on stock X?

I posted a couple times in the release thread but it got lost in all the posts about rooted and unlocked versions. So has anyone on Verizon with stock moto X receive the 4.4.2 update yet?

Yes, I got it Monday about 9:30-45 in the morning. Not a soak tester, however I am registered on Motorola Connect. Just wait, it is not a big change and everything works basically the same. Chris

Yeah I just like having the latest lol but thanks for the response. Did it come to you in a notification or did you get going into settings and checking the update status? Cause that's all I've been doing.

So nothing noticeable but nothing worse signal strength same as before?
Signal seems the same for me. Camera seems better for me but who knows. Nothing really noticeable for me but I don't use exchange so I'm not sure if that bug was squashed.
I side loaded it btw didn't get the OTA.

havne't got anything yet over here! still waiting impatiently....
Woke up this morning to a "your phone has an update available" message. Downloaded itself and was waiting to install.
I did notice that I had to reboot the phone to connect to Wifi after the update, but so far everything is looking solid. Haven't checked bluetooth or NFC yet.
I got mine today too..tried to install and it failed.. I'm root using jcases method of rockmymoto and had to do it by adb shell.. Could that affect it?
Slapped my Moto
Woke up this morning to the update! After today's use, battery is definitely better.

Moto service automatically downloaded 135MB 4.4.2 OTA for me, OVER THE MOBILE DATA. I only had 300MB data for the month and am not amused that the phone just decided to download OTA by itself even when WIFI was turned off. Furthermore, I can't find any place to disable such behavior for the future. Any suggestion ?
Mine is verizon.
Thanks.

I've looked in and out and haven't found any setting that can disable such OTA behavior.
I'm actually using another carrier's SIM on this phone ---- Verizon Moto X is gsm unlocked.
What if this happens when I'm roaming internationally (with a non-Verizon carrier) ?
Downloading OTA via mobile data without consent just doesn't make sense.

I can't understand about OTA behavior it when your WiFi is turned off but it's working... how it possible ? You can switched off on that time.. Can you share some attachment ?

If you are rooted you can freeze MotorolaOTA app or rename it.
