Hello XDA:
I have a Moto X 2013, running 4.4.4, not rooted.
Just recently, within the last two or three days, the phone is no longer recognizing the official OEM desk dock and will no longer Daydream when placed on the dock. It will still charge, it just does not daydream. I also have an action set via AutomateIt Pro to silence the phone when on the dock and this no longer works.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thank you very much.
Any ideas other than doing a FDR?
SOLVED (?)
Someone had mentioned that the case on the phone can affect whether or not it goes into dock mode, so I removed the case and then put the case back on and the phone went into dock mode. I noticed that moving the phone around tends to determine whether or not it goes into dock mode. So, if this happens again, I'll just try moving the phone around.
The phone has magnets in the back of it that it uses to determine if it is in a dock or not, and I believe possibly even what type of dock (car vs desk).
This picture shows where the magnet is located on the back cover:

The OP mentions that this triggers car mode. I appears that a small magnet was used, so depending on the strength of that magnet, it could determine whether the device enters desk or car mode.
Actually, I never said anything about "car mode." I am using a Motorola authorized M4DE case for the phone. It has worked fine since I got the phone in 2013. It just stopped within the last few days. I removed the phone from the case and then put it back in the case. I also tried moving the phone around so it was positioned differently. It seems to be working at this time.

Right, I was just showing you where the magnet is. So there should also be a magnet on the dock, and if the two aren't lined up closely enough, it won't detect that it is in the dock.
I mentioned car mode because that's what the person in the picture found. If he placed a magnet in that spot, car mode was activated automatically. If a different strength magnet is used (either more or less powerful), it could also activate desk dock mode, which is what you are using.

Hi! Some weeks ago my kaiser stop playing sounds like music and the ringtones.I dont know if it happened when i dropped it on the floor... So i opened my kaiser (bought on ebay and has no warranty) to see if there was something changed. The speaker looks well but i bought a new one from ebay (received it broken ). I just opened it a little but i saw something that i dont know if is right and i would like you to tell me. I dont know if it's a little battery but it looks like it's covered with a strange substance.Now is it supposed to be there or could it be caused by huminity for instance?
Here are some pics:

Hi. It Is "golden cap" which is back up source. The P/N is in the service manual. The replacement part could be found on digikey...The substance sould not be there. Cheers!
you should replace that battery, its fully corroded, which may lead to rust in your kaiser... take it out and wait for the new one to arrive!
Yup that's one leaky battery. You'll need to replace that and clean up the contacts extremely carefully, being careful not to get acid on yourself or anything else.
use of golden capacitor
Hi
I face some trouble with my Kaiser (sometimes don't charge battery, sometimes reboot...)
Since it did not charge battery at all, I opened it and remouted it : it work properly again.. then it started not working again
I'm asking myself : if this capacitor is old (about 3 years) what could be the symptoms of its failure ?
Thank you for your help
Yes, Good question!!
My kaiser stopped charging. The PC would recognise it and it would (usually) boot fine but would not charge. I found another one that i bought cheap.
I had the other one laying around and thought i'd have a play with it.
I tried:
--Other USB cables.
--Other chargers.
--Other battries.
--Charging with an external battery charger.
Turns out that it all works fine but the phone will not work as a charger. I read somewhere that the fuse may have blown that is why the PC still recognises it. However, i'm not sure i can rule out the golden cap. Anyone changed a fuse? anyone had the same problem and a change of the golden cap solved it?
There is not much chatter about these problems either. I may start a new thread...
Hi
I guessed that my problem came form the internal battery connector.
I soldered directly a battery on the connector, and the battery charged OK.
But this fix seems more to be a "lucky strike" then a real patch to the problem.
Tell me if you open a new thread about golden cap.
I have a guess why the phone stopped playing music: I think the slot of the volume button is loose. On your first picture next to the main battery pins there is a small slot into which the volume control connects. When you put it back, make sure it is well pushed into the slot, I had this problem previously.
My D4 bit the dust tonight after having it for a year and a half. I think moisture from leaving it in the bathroom during my showers killed it. The phone gets power, but when I turn it on I get white/black static. It won't even show the Motorola boot animation. I am wondering if there is a way to get my pictures off the internal memory card? When I plug my phone up to the computer I get the little sound that my phone is connected, but it doesn't show up. I have tried a reset and booting into safe mode, but the screen just shows black/white static.

Hi, it sounds like you got the same problem as described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2552978
I wonder if more people will pop up having this problem suddenly. Can you check if you can connect to your Phone through adb when on the static screen? That still seems to work here.
It might make sense to move this discussion to that other thread to have one location for the people having the same problem.

I got this phone the other day, It's just got snow all over the screen (it's out of warranty) so I opened the cover, pulled off all connectors and re-seated them (didn't remove any boards, just what was accessible once the back covers were off.
I am new to Android but, this model I have replaced 2 Displays on (not this phone), seems I get one for cheap with a broken display, I fix it and someone offers me more than triple what I paid for, so I keep selling them :-/ (a man cant turn down a big profit). So I know how to pull this phone apart and replace parts if needed. I was looking to give Android a solid shot here (I am a Windows Phone person now)and not sell this one...
Not sure if the display is toast or this is just a Bricked or something else.
Note:
-If I connect to a PC, it connects fine
-When the phone is on, If I touch the lower of the screen, I hear clicking
-Double click on the center of the screen wakes up the display.
-Verzion software tool does not detect the phone (even though a drive is mapped for it)
Also to know, I have never rooted a Android device, so no idea on how to tell if it's rooted or not from the file system. Yea, when it comes to Android devices, I am a NooB.
Any idea ?
Thanks in advance !
Ok, Still trying to trouble shoot this, figuring it was a Brick or something with a lot of effort (The touch screen seems to work but, power off was a guessing game where to push to get it into bootloader mode).
I tried to go back to Stock with it, following these directions...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448960
Now during the process, every once an a while, on the top of the screen, I can see about 1/2 of the ICONs, it's static so it does not update but, it's the most I have seen off this display.
After showing Successful, it's still doing the same thing. accept a hair of it, static across the top of the screen.
So, does this lead down to a hardware based issue (if so, what part should be replaced), or is this display damaged and needs a replacement ?
Has anyone gone through this and can help ?
Edit, Picked up the one of the cables for the phone that the video, power, headphones all plug into, as all my problems are resulting in something that plugs into this cable, figured I would give it a shot, The only things that are left are the Main board, or the display itself.
Maybe this will fix it ?

Hello, I have just got my replacement phone from Verizon's insurance company. so i been holding off a couple of days to retrieve my lost photos since my screen in severely damaged. If i try connecting it to my pc it doesnt show any files, yet the new phone does since im able to enable the MTP connection. I tried using a keyboard plugged in via the OTG Adapter, granted it works but the screen wont turn on, only when the phone turns on I can see the top half of the screen; then a few seconds will go by and its black. Doing anything will keep it locked even if i try typing it anyway. Please help me figure a way out to get my photos back so i can send the claimed Note 9 in the mail this evening. Thanks!

Do you have a USB-C - HDMI Cable or Adapter ?? That's the only way i can think of you getting access to your Note 9!

this is a great idea. Get access to the phones GUI, offload the pics to google drive or whatever else you have access to, profit. cant forget to profit...
Hey guys,
I am back to the real OG forums of Android after spending a few good years with iOS devices. Ngl, missed this place a lot!
So I have been using a Pixel 4a (5G) for 2-3 weeks now, and everything was perfect until the May security update 2 days ago. Although, previously, there were a couple of touch screen issues observed by many anyway, a friend too who uses the same phone, same variant g025-e and we used to observe extremely **** typing experience while charging our phones, until this update, literally destroyed the whole experience for me specifically, and not my friend.
This update was about 16.9 mb and on the night of 1st of May, I put my phone to update and slept, within hours it was released. The next morning my frustration begins. There is a part of my screen, specifically between the app dock and home screen separator that doesn't work anymore. There is absolutely no damage to the phone, neither have I dropped it or anything. The whole "asd" row on my qwerty keyboard barely works. Tapping the letters on that row a million times might register a touch magically, but you get my point, its just extremely frustrating.
Furious, I immediately took it to Pixel Community (Pixel Community Post here) and I haven't received a reply there yet. I took it to Reddit (Reddit post here), and there isn't any help either.
I have run a couple of tests on my phone testing my screen, and to my surprise multi-touch isn't working either (I can't zoom into photos, can't use maps or anything for that matter) and my phone only detects one finger. Attaching screenshots below where you can see touch break (there is no point of posting multi-touch test here, it can only show its detecting 1 finger, and that also breaks in the area shown below):

As last resort, I have also tried removing my screen protector, playing with the screen-protector mode in the display settings but in vain.
Now I am thinking something definitely went wrong while my phone installed the update, and thinking of a full fresh flash of the Software after unlocking the bootloader. Please suggest what to do. Hoping for positive replies. I am not doubting the hardware because my phone just stopped working right after the update, even though the new update suited my friend's phone just fine.

Oh damn I'm sorry its that much for you mate. Did it happen after the update or just randomly?
the day I updated the phone, the touch screen started to not answer again on the top and then the problem is repeated gradually on the rest of the screen. I just made a factory rest, the touch screen no longer works, I will change the screen .
