[Q] Random reboots...how do I get a log file? - Moto X Q&A

This phone has rebooted on me about 5 times yesterday, so I'm wondering how to get a log file that might show what the problem is. I left my phone plugged in to my laptop with logcat running, but logcat only works for 1hr. Is there a log stored on the phone itself? I have the tmo version.

[Q] WiFi Tether Won't Work (even with correct settings)?

I'm running OMJ's ROM and using WiFi Tether TrevE Mod "Version 3.2-beta-modv5-***Synergized***"
Okay so even with the settings that everyone recommends for the HTCone, and a few modifications, I still cannot get the blasted thing to work.
Settings I've tried:
Profile: Generic ICS/JB(wlan0)
Setup-Method: Auto
Encryption ON (p/w is the correct format AFAIK, about 12 lowercase letters no numbers, similar to the default)
Changed SSID to "HTCone" no spaces
Wifi Driver Reload (1) checked
MSS Clamping checked
Routing Fix checked
With those settings, I can't even get it to broadcast. It says it's running but no devices can find it. It simply isn't there.
If I disable Wifi Driver Reload (1) it begins broadcasting. However, when I attempt to connect, the second device just sits there at "Obtaining IP Address..." for about 90 seconds then retries and gets stuck at "Authenticating" then back. An endless loop never resulting in a connection.
The most frustrating thing about this is that it was JUST working the day before. I didn't touch ANYTHING and it just decided to take a dump.
Addendum: I was looking at the notes in the bottom of the ABOUT screen and I noticed the updates are quite old. Is it possible I have an old version that doesn't work with the HTC One? I got it from QBKING77's website.
Happened to me and don't have an answer. I wiped and didn't restore anything to resolve it. Restoring data broke it again.

I followed this guide that worked for my Note II and I have no problems. I'm typing this message from my laptop tethered to my ONE. I have WiFi-driver reload 2 checked.

I had no luck wiping the phone and re-installing the ROM. It was still FUBAR after the fresh flash of OMJ. What drives me NUTS about that is the fact that it was JUST working not 12hrs before it stopped working.
To give some more information as to the issue, it appears that checking either one (or both) of the Force Driver options causes it to not broadcast at all. If either of those two are checked, the hotspot isn't even visible to any device. If left unchecked, the hotspot becomes visible. However, upon trying to connect to the hotspot, it gets stuck in a loop of "Authenticating..." then "Obtaining IP address" which never results in a connection.
I've tried the options listed in that guide you posted, but to no avail.
So, at this point, I'm wondering if it's just because I'm using an outdated WiFi hotspot app. If anyone has one that's been updated since a little under a year ago, I'd appreciate a link. Thanks!

Not sure which one you are using but I'm using the one right from the Play Store v3.3 beta 2. You can also get it from here. I just went back to SWG 1.18 from a 4.2.2 ROM and reinstalled and all is good. Everything connects just fine using those settings from the link I posted earlier.

In the first post I listed which version I was using. Unfortunately, even the newest version fails to work. I don't get this. Maybe it has something to do with the OMJ ROM and how close to stock it is. Perhaps I should try a different ROM.
This is a far cry from the CM7 ROM I had on my EVO which allowed me to tether perfectly all the time without the hassle. Maybe I'll try CM again on my One.
I'm gonna download & flash OMJ's ROM & see if I can recreate it. You running the latest version right?

There was some kind of minor update that just came through. Not sure what it was. I haven't installed it yet. My version is current as of a week ago.

Sorry. I downloaded the latest yesterday but was playing around with flex's & hawk's 4.2.2 ports. I'm about to flash in a couple mins and will post my results.
Similar issue here
I'm having issues with wifi tether on my HTC One, as well. I can tell you that if you set the Device-Profile to "Auto," it will create an ad-hoc connection that my Windows 7/Ubuntu Studio desktop will recognize. Ubuntu recognizes it as a regular wifi hotspot, and connects automatically. Windows recognizes it as an ad-hoc connection, and I have to connect manually. My Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 does not see the connection at all, and neither does my LG Blu-Ray player. If I change the profile to Generic ICS/JB (wlan 1), then other devices see the connection, and will even attempt to connect to it, but there is never a successful connection with internet access. If I choose Generic ICS/JB (wlan 0), then nothing sees it as a viable connection. I am running the stock sense ROM, and have done no updates (so I'm still at JB 4.1). I can tell you that wifi tether errors frequently for me, and I have to reboot quite a lot. If I leave my phone broadcasting overnight, then in the morning wifi tether thinks that I don't have root, and gives me the "your phone is in an unknown state" error message; at that point, the only way to stop the wifi is to reboot.
So, I can make it work, for a limited number of devices. I would like to use it as a wifi connection for my tablet and my Blu-Ray player, however. I have searched quite a bit to try to figure this out, and I haven't been able to find a reliable answer. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
I got mine to work. Can surf the web, check email, etc. now the damn thing will not stream video. I am connected to 4g and speed test on my ipad verify it but won't stream. Pisses me off.

Try to go to advanced settings at the upper right portion of the settings. Then click LAN Settings > Reset to default settings. I have the same problem with you. I've tried it and it worked.

Constantly getting error messages from Play Store and Youtube.

Just a month ago I got this phone and I'm experiencing some problems regarding the performance of how apps run. For instance with Youtube, I would only be able to watch one video and then after that, the app starts taking forever to load and it usually ends with an error message. Same goes with the Play Store. It would take forever for a list of apps to load, and most of the time it wouldn't even load up and give me an error message. And this doesn't happen with just my home wifi connection, but also with every other wifi connection I've used.
Is there a way to be able to fix this? I haven't unlocked my bootloader or even rooted the phone yet.
I think it's your Wifi. You can test it either with a speed test app or try to use another access point. Let us know how it turn out

AT&T Update help

Hello. I recently got a Moto X and I've been trying to update it but when I go to settings then update. It says that there's already an updating being downloaded. Problem is, there isn't. I've tried lots of things like, force closing MotorolaOTA, Clearing data and force closing Google services framework. I've factory reset, Cleared Cache Partitions, tried downloading in a different WiFi. But none of those worked.

Here you go.
If it makes you feel any better I'm having the exact same problem. I was coming here to post as a last resort and saw your post. I bought the phone yesterday morning and got it all setup and saw the update so started the update. 24 hours later and it still says an update is in progress. I decided to try to install the Motorola Device Manager on my PC and it says an update is already in progress... even after I force closed Motorola OTA on the device. So frustrating to have all these issues with a new phone I was so excited about buying after coming back to Android after a couple year stint with iPhone 5 and then iPhone 5s.

Does turning on the WiFi help? Maybe its restricted to download in 4g to not eat your data plan up? Or how about doing master reset?
Sent from my XT1060 using xda app-developers app
I was on Wi-Fi for like 24 hours straight and it didn't download. When I leave my house and lose Wi-Fi I get a notification that says " Download will resume in Wi-Fi coverage" and the progress bar shows 0% even after several hours on high speed Wi-Fi. I also tried a complete restore and it still doesn't work. I wonder if the servers are having issues?

if you aren't worried about data then you can just use rsd to flash the updated FW on your phone. or manually do it. Or you can just push the OTA update file that it is trying to download manually into your /cache folder and then when you reboot the phone it will start installing the ota. easy workarounds. I haven't ever downloaded the OTA over the air actually. just push it to my phone from a computer so i don't have to wait for it to eventually pop up on my phone durring their rolling releases

I've tried multiple WiFi networks. I'm aware AT&T doesn't allow to update over data.
I don't know if this applies, but I had a similar issue with my Nexus 7 (2013). It wouldn't see the most recent update (JSS15R), even though it had been out for weeks. It just kept saying 'Your tablet is up to date.' While it's not quite the issue you're having, it might have an effect.
I went into Settings -> Apps and cleared data from both Google Services Framework and Download Manager. Then I rebooted and checked for an update again. I think it didn't work the first time, so I tried it again.
Hope it works, I hope to be getting a Moto X soon and would like to know if this works in case it happens to me!
Weirdest thing... I was out of the house for a couple hours so the download showed as paused in notifications.... I walked back into the house, picked up my Wi-Fi, and the update popped up as being ready to install within a minute. Hopefully yours eventually come through too Doctor.

Weird. Went and clicked to update and took about 3 seconds. Must've been something with their servers.

Using Android File Transfer on OSX

anyone else having trouble transferring files via AFT? after a minute or so, it'll say that I need to unlock my phone even though it's not. even while actively fiddling with it during file transfers, i get the same error message. makes it a hassle when transferring directories at a time for music since I have to unplug and plug back in again to get AFT working.
this happening to anyone else?

I gave up on AFT a long time ago, was always very unreliable with all devices I have used.
I suggest you take a look at airdroid. With 802.11ac Wifi I'm seeing 20MiB/s transfers all wireless while moving files from the browser (chrome) to the Nexus 6 all without having to plug anything anywhere. Convenient and fast.
I'm having no issue with AFT on the latest Yosemite OS.. I just got my Nexus 6 today and transfer all my stuff twice already. Because of the new update the phone had today. And I don't like updating on top of the old one. I like a fresh OS at every android release ?

Have OS X 10.9.5 and Nexus 6. But AFT shows "No Android device found" when connecting phone and Mac
for me on nexus 4 (croma 6.0.0.1) and osx 10.10.5 everything is well... but AFT don't see every directory and file!
if i use it under TWRP AFT see every single file!!??
why!?

Something strange....

Hey all, i notice, everytime i flash a new rom, and connect to wifi for the first time, my phone downloads "something", its probably a 20-40mb file, i know this because i have a network speed meter in my status bar, and everytime i connect to wifi for the first time, i see my download speed jump to max speed for a few mins, i just wonder, what the heck it is or how can i find out?
I had this same thing happen on my nexus 5, but only started noticing this when lollipop came out.

Its most likely just cuz the phone is syncing all you're google stuff. Contacts, calendar, playstore, etc.

It could also be a carrier app. Mine installs the T-Mobile account app.
It does it based on the SIM card.

If you have chosen to backup and restore your account through Google settings, then most likely it is restoring your settings and data. Otherwise:
Why didnt i think of that. Duh!
Thats it thats the proof! We were put here by aliens!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
