Left my moto x screen on all night - Moto X Q&A

Hey all,
I'm new to the moto x and well it was left under a pillow charging and the screen stayed on, just got it yesterday. Everything looks good and the screen is fine under further inspection, should I be worried about burn in or anything or did I just text the screen for a while.
PS I actually don't know if it was on the whole time it was just warm when picked it up so I assumed it was. I had an alarm going off at the same time so maybe it was woken up my that

Really don't appreciate that, it's a simply question in a general forum chill out it's not my first rodeo I just become concerned sometimes, man.

Oh I'm.not cyber bullying by any means. Jus think before u post. The phone won't let the screen stay on. Especially under a pillow. The sensor will turn then screen off anyway

I wouldn't worry about it. The battery was what made the phone warm. Totally legitimate worry though. My 3DS has a tendency to come out of sleep when closed and my old Galaxy S's screen turned itself on in my pockets all the time so it isn't that crazy of a conclusion to draw.

Unless you changed the display sleep option to never (which I'm not sure is even possible), or checked the option to never sleep while charging (think that one's in developer options), the display wouldn't have stayed on all night.
It was warm because it was under a pillow and couldn't dissipate the heat properly. If it had been too warm, the phone would have shut itself off.
Basically, I wouldn't worry about it.

I wouldn't suggest leaving your phone under a pillow while charging... Heat is one of the primary foes of electronics and can cause an array of damage and issues... That would be more concerning then leaving the screen on for hours, in my opinion.

unless it takes all night to charge... which it doesnt. i doubt it was still charging. i dunno about yours. but my x charges from zero to hero in a couple hours.
as you said. think before you post.

My Moto X does the same thing, the screen does not turn off while charging unless I turn it off, even if I leave it under my pillow. This is an option under Developer Options which is initially hidden in the settings, you can access the Moto X Development options by going to Settings: About Phone: and then tap Build Number 7 times (forum wont let me post link to the Moto X support page with the details).
Although I never turned this on or accessed the developer options on my Moto X my phone would stay awake while charging. My thought is that on my old HTC I had it turned on under developer options and through my settings being backed up to my google account it carried over to my Moto X without ever having to access the developer options (my wifes Moto X does not stay on while charging).
@strictlyphat - you need to eat your own words and "Just think before u post". Comments like yours are why some people hate posting in forums, but I guess you will always run into "big shots" who think they know everything without knowing anything.

[Q] Bionic Black Screen of Death

Hi guys, haven't been here since my WIN MOB days. Glad the place is hopping as usual.
Bionic users seem to be experiencing a total lockup on sleeping handsets. There is a rather extensive thread over Moto support and the mod seems to be paying attention.
Just popped in to ask your experiences and the frequency with which you guys are seeing this and any possible remedies.
I've seen a couple of very short threads here, but nothing with any follow-up.
Thanks,
RMD
I have had this happen on multiple occasions, the power/wake-up button stops working and the only way to get the phone back is pulling the battery. The last time it happened was last night, and even after the battery was pulled it wouldn't come back up. I only got my phone back after switching out the battery with my extended battery.
Does anyone have a link to the thread at Moto support?
Seems like it happens more often when the phone has been sleeping for longer than 30 mins for me. Go for a run, come back and can't wake the phone up. Or go to sleep and wake up in the morning with it blacked out.
This happened to me for the first time today, but it happened twice within about 2 hours. Pulling the battery was the only way to get it back.
This has been happening to me for the last few days, only things is Im rooted, I was considering unrooting until customer roms and kernels come out.... but seeing that you guys are having this issue with the phone stock.... quite weird, hopefully a firmware update will come out for this soon
I've got mine rooted and have never had this issue before. I have not removed or frozen any apps though.
Also I leave my system on performance mode in the battery profile.
In fact, I left it on my nightstand last night without plugging it in. Woke up a few times and checked the time each time and the phone always woke right up.
So, I want to say mine started locking up when I selected "in pocket detection."
I just now thought about it reading one of the post here talking about going for a jog. I just turned it off and will see if that makes a difference. I get a lock at least once a day.
I have been rooted since day 1 and have had Bloat removed since day 2 and "knock on wood" have never had this issue.
I've been getting this too. It only seems to happen at home where I have only 3g available. Are you guys that are having this happen in a 4g area or is it just 3g as well?
I had this issue on the second day and never since, but being how "lucky" I am as I post this I will have the issue...
Had this happen once to me today while i was severely multitasking then hit the power button by mistake. I gave up after about 5 seconds and pulled the battery
I have had this happen to me about 3 times now. Once during texting, once after breakfast, and once after movie. I think this is pretty damn unacceptable for a $600 device that was delayed so much.
Never had the black screen. However after long standby times the pattern screen doesn't register correctly the first few times. Unrooted.

I had this same issue on Day 2 of having my blessid Bionic... Didn't realize why my screen kept going to sleep every 5 seconds. So after taking my phone to VZW to have it looked at (and the rep had no clue what was going on)--I realized that my in-pocket detection setting may have been the culprit.
Not happening to mine. However I do notice apps deleting themselves when transferred to my SD card. Rumor is they are prepping an update soon... I sure hope so. But the good news is the screen is growing on me, and I love the phone. It reminds me when I first bought My Samsung LED TV w/240 refresh rate. My eyes took forever to adjust, now I cant watch tv any other way.

Good deal... Glad to hear it. It was gonna drive me nuts. This was my first time being an "early adopter". I usually wait about 3-6 months before buying a popular phone to allow all the bugs to be worked out. So getting this phone 2 days after its debut--you can see why I was nervous to have a fully-functioning phone!

Restarts When Keyboard Closes Hard

Just got a droid 3 from Asurion to replace the D2G I cracked this weekend, and I don't want to sound like a whiner, but I'm not too impressed with it. Not liking the unlock button placement/it's hard to push (lawl), and the keyboard isn't as good (except for the number row that's nice), stock is kind of sluggish, and the screen seems kind of pixely and fuzzy in some places. But the biggest issue that I just found is that if i shut the keyboard at any speed slightly above average, the phone restarts completely. Does anyone else have this issue? Could it just be because it's most likely a refurb? Sorry for the complaints haha I'm just a bit disappointed but i'm sure the phone has its good qualities
Sometimes this happens to me as well, but not always. I think its the battery, when you shake the phone you can fell the battery moving + restart

If it is the battery what you can do is take a piece of scotch tape and roll it end to end and stick it between the battery door and battery. As far as the lag wait until CM9/10 is done.

At one point I tried a third party extended battery I found on Amazon and it caused this exact problem (and also restarts at other times). The fit of the battery was kind of loose and when shaken or handled just so, it would restart. Is it a refurbished phone? Refurb or not - check to see if it is a Motorola battery in it. If it is the battery being loose causing it, I'ed request another replacement. You shouldn't have to mess with a phone they just sent you to make it work.

thanks everyone, and yeah i think it's a refurb, sometime it shuts off randomly too. but it is strange because even if i shake the phone it doesn't shut off, only when i close the keyboard too quickly (which is any speed except slow and cautious), so i dont think its the battery being dislodged but who knows. it's def the right battery, but i think i might call asurion because i cant really deal with random power downs

[Q] Overheating?

I just got a replacement HTC One today (due to a power button issue). Within 5-10 minutes of use my One will hit about 110 degrees, sometimes up to 115. I use a task manager and I never had this problem with the first One I had. Any idea what could be causing this/what could prevent it?
If it didn't happen with the first phone, you should return that second phone.

So what was wrong with the first phone? The power button wasn't sitting flush? That's what happens when you return phones for stupid problems. So now you end up with a worst phone then before.

This.... which is why the tiny gap on the top I can live with.. Dont want to risk the chance of getting one with a dead pixel or something.
As for the over heating.. My phone gets a little warm but unless the blinking overheating led doesn't come up for no reason I wouldn't worry about it.

Mine too gets warm under stress use, like games and streaming video. I'm not measuring the temp because I don't care enough. I can feel it get warm is all.
Now that you mention it though, my volume buttons have been giving me a dirty look ever since I bought it... I think I'll return it. Screw HTC and their crap!! I'm getting an s4!!

The thing is, I paid for a phone in full working order. Regardless of if the defects are minor, they are still defects. I just want what I paid for.
Are we talking 115F? ...Or 115C.
Cause I'm inclined to believe its the former, and, if so, that's within a range I would consider normal.
If it's 115C, I'm surprised the phone is still on. Water would boil if put on the chip. The battery likely would have exploded by now.
Typically, you want to quote electronics temperatures in C.
115F isn't abnormal especially if you're pushing the CPU (heavy GPS or gaming), especially if you're referencing the battery temperature.
Generally you want to avoid anything above 50C, and that's not above 50C.
If it battery temp then it likely to be a bit high considering it sandwiched in between the LCD and the cpu board

Plus, I've decided that the all aluminum case helps dissapate heate from the board and therefore feels warmer than an equivalent plastic (read Galaxy S4 ) phone.

HTC One Google Edition - how to control power to the screen?

Using the HTC One Google Edition, how to you prevent the screen from turning off while the phone is connected to either a charging outlet, or to a PC?
Also, can the phone be set to dim the screen after a certain period?
Is there a way to find "developer options" where i think this kind of setting might be found?
Yes, just go to Settings->About Phone->Tap "Build number" 7 times to unlock developer options
Wow....
There is something rather un-real about all this. Yesterday, I had doubts about even keeping this phone (because it's lacking a radio that t-mobile uses), and I was trying to keep the screen powered up while charging, which my GNex does so easily. It seemed like such a simple question, and i thought I was just being dumb in that I couldn't find it. I spoke to the tech people at both HTC tech support and Android tech support, and nobody at HTC or Android had an answer.
You tell me to simply click that line 7 times (after three, I started getting notices like "you're only 3 clicks away from being a developer".
So easy. So simple. So (once you know it) obvious......
I may be lost on xda-developers, but it's quickly turning into a wonderful place to use, with lots of people like you around to help the newcomers.
Thank you!!
A quick Google would've given you answer as well

HTC One Water damage

Why on earth did this moderator '' ghost '' think my thread about my phone falling down the toilet and me asking for assistance was '' off topic '' and was subsequently closed, seriously mate your well out of order closing that thread it's as relevant as any thread, I only hope something like this nightmare never happens to you!!!
Anyway again I'll start what is a very relevant thread, long story I dropped my One in the toilet managed to scoop it out straight away and it continued to work, woke the following morning and phone was dead but after charging it booted up but wouldn't recognise my SIM card so tried another SIM and won't accept that either.
Came home to find the phone dead it was on 78% battery last night after charging it, screen is washed out too as you'd imagine , so charged it and it has rebooted several times since but booted up eventually, but will not recognise any SIM I put in.
I recall reading a thread on here before saying if you put the phone in a bag of rice that sometimes works so will be doing that I do have insurance but if at all possible I'm hoping to rescue this phone.
I'm asking for any assistance from anyone who was unfortunate enough to be in the same situation.
DO NOT LOCK THIS THREAD it's as relevant as anything posted on here.
Thank you.

Hello, I have htc one which doesn't recognize sim cards, but not because of water damage:laugh:
To fix/change it, you should disassemble almost everything - it's under screen.
here is more info
Thanks mate but I'm no good when it comes to this type of thing, software I'm OK with but not the hardware side of things.

Me too. I'm afraid of teardown.
What will you do?
I've no idea mate, the phone now bizarrely won't turn off, I've left it in a bag of rice so will check tomorrow night and see if that done any good.
I put in a claim on my insurance as and its been accepted but have to pay an outrageous €95 excess which I could really do without, using my Moto G as a spare but badly miss my One.
If anyone has any suggestions feel free to post.

to be completely honest if your phone was usable when you scooped it out of the toilet, you should have IMMEDIATELY turned it off. and stuck it in a bag of rice for like a week. the reason your phone went all wonky after is probably because there was some left over water inside the phone and as you were using it, it probably moved around and shorted something.
I was in the pub at the time and very drunk.
It's not looking good at all though, Left in a bag of rice overnight and now the power button won't work, have to keep plugging in USB cable to wake the phone while I bluetooth my photos and videos,etc to my Moto G.
Gonnab just wipe the phone completely after I've taken all I need to take off it and give it to the courier who will deliver my new HTC One after I pay the excess next week (they said I have to return this phone, no idea what they'll do with it)
So thanks anyway but I'm just gonna sell the new one sealed and unlocked and use my Moto G until new HTC M8 is released.
