I've flashed my 8925 twice and hard reset it once, I've tried with and without having allowed the ATT customizations, and still there's a bunch of stupid little crap that is driving me nuts. Please note: these bugs are with no additional software installed.
Can't keep the backlight from timing out. I've always disliked the default of having the screen auto dim: if the screen is on I'm probably *looking* at it, otherwise I'd have turned it off... I've tried everything, setting no backlight time out, leaving it checked but matched to the screen shutoff, it shows the right thing in the control panel and stays on after I leave that screen, but usually within minutes or especially after I've used the phone it'll start dimming at 10 seconds again--even though turn off backlight is still unchecked in the backlight control panel.
Missed calls / call log badly broken: I'll get the missed call notification but when I try to see the caller it shows the log as empty, and when I go into the log manually from the phone app it also shows empty--doesn't even have my outgoing calls.
Voicemail notification got stuck on. I can probably call ATT and have them fix this on their end in minutes but it's bloody annoying that my phone's been notifying me of a long deleted voicemail message for days.
Anybody else having any of these problems?
Anybody know a fix for any of them?
I've already tried advanced_configuration, no great help there.
What's the latest/best cooked ROM? I like that the official has stuff like Voice Command and Sprite Backup, would like to keep them...
I haven't noticed any of those problems. I have however had problems with the phone being really sluggish at times. Still testing with no apps installed. I don't have the backlight problem. I have just used the settings in Kaiser Tweak and everything is working. Not sure that I will keep using it though. I will probably go back to Hyperdragon's newest ROM's. Those always seem to work really well for me.
No issues with the official AT&T ROM either.

Are you using the right SPL?
I did not try the rom. But I heard cleartype w/ landscape problem still exist w/ this rom (like the official HTC 6.1 rom). It could be fix by replacing the ddi.dll but will probably break Opera mini 9.5.
Problems??? Pull up a chair! First I installed the ROM and none of my would work. I couldn't connect to the internet. I downloaded the ROM again and reflashed it. This time icons started disappearing on my phone. I did a soft reset. Nothing. Did a hard reset. Nothing. I reflashed. Loaded my apps, they actually worked. I set up my email, and I could connect to the internet. Great! Finally! One hour later, I got a phone call, but my phone didn't ring. Huh?Anyway, answered it, when the other party spoken it came out the speakerphone. I checked my device and there was no sound: ringtones,music games,alarms. Soft reset...Startup sound played..loaded up and no sound. Call ATT for a help, they decided to send me a replacement. Bad device, I guess. So I redownloaded the ROM and tried a different phone( i know, i know), can't get email to work, can't get MMetrics work. I quit!I will be going to custom ROM! I have a lot of reading to do.
Been using the new AT&T Rom since it was released and not having any issues. The only minor problem I have is that I'm seeing some compatibility issues with the version of S2U2 that I am using. Otherwise, good to go.
I don't get how people are having problems with this. Everything works flawlessly with me.
Except threaded messaging sucks, but with Kaiser Tweak, I turned it off.
I have had only 3 major issues with this rom.
1: Camera works, but doesn't show anything on the screen. I have a black screen, press the capture button, and I get a picture, but I can't tell what I am looking at until I take the picture. Working on this issue now. [Update] I just installed HTC Camera v5.04 b29195.00 http://rapidshare.com/files/99227062/HTC_Camera_v5.04_b29195.00__PPC_.CAB . Works Perfect now!
2. Battery life was HORRID! After 10 minutes I was down to 90%, while it sat on the desk, screen off, nothing running. After switching from 1.65.21.18 to 1.65.21.14, life was peachy. 8 hours with normal usage and only down to 80%.
3. Blue Tooth drops erratically. I connected my bt headset to the phone, made a call, after 10 or 15 minutes, it dropped the headset. BT stayed turn on, but headset couldn't be found. Turned off headset, turned back on, magically found. Haven't figured out what is causing this, but am researching that as well. OK, So I got on HTC's website to see if there was an update. There is no update for BT for the Tilt WM6.1. However, there is a fix for TYTN II WM6.0. http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=13&cat=0&dl_id=60. I decided to try this fix, installed thinking I would get the whole "this program was built for a previous version" garbage, but I didn't get that. Anyway, I am going to try this tomorrow when I make my calls. I will update if I notice it fixes my issues.
Otherwise, it's fast, good signal, good sound quality, etc. Overall I am pretty happy. Will be happier when I finally get the BT to stop dropping, as I travel a lot and it's illegal to talk on the phone w/o a hands free on any military installation.... Sorry if I didn't answer any problems others are having on this actual forum, but maybe someone else will be having the same issue and see my posts for my fixes. Thanks!
zip, zero, nada.......UI is faster, apps are faster, threaded SMS is really nice to have, MSVC works as advertised with my JB2.
Different Alarm Sounds!!
I have a small WAV file that I use as an alarm sound but now can't get the sound listing in the alarm setup. I use to put it in application data/sounds. It now doesn't show up if I put it there or anywhere else (/windows, /my documents/my ringtones). Anyone else have this problem?

All my WAV and MIDI files in the root of Windows show up fine. How small is the file? 600kb is the size limit for sounds on AT&T ROMs unless you modify the registry key that restricts it. 600k may be large for an mp3 file, but that's only mere seconds of a WAV file.
I upgraded as soon as it was available and am seriously considering going back to the old WM6.0 ROM, which worked well. I have had several lockups and had to soft-reset. I have also had problems with calls. Once, it rang and shoed me the call, but wouldn't let me pick it up. Other times I have had echos. GPS lock time is also much longer. Oh, yes, the equalizer in TCPMP creates terrible distortion. It worked great in 6.0. And I am using the recompiled version.
It is great to get results of satisfaction with the new ROM, but I personally would like to know, for those who have been having problems and those, answers to some questions:
1 Which SPL
2 Which radio
3 Activesync or POP for email
4 Bloatware installed or not
5 PIE or other browser
I am sure that there are others, but those are what come to mind for the moment.
No Problems Here
FWIW, I think my Tilt is running much better with the new ROM. I've only had it (the new ROM) for a couple of days, but TT7 and Google Maps seem to run faster, and It seems to detect WIFI networks MUCH faster than with the old ROM. I'm a happy camper, at least for now.
I've noticed that its been alot slower and I don't like having a button devoted to the ringtone volume. The other HTC Tab I was using that was supposed to be an official use had Music allowing me to access Windows Media very easily now I can't. I also noticed my dialing pad is different and not the same as it was. I also don't like the threaded SMS on Windows Mobile it doesn't suit it. It makes it look very confusing and also I've noticed it has problems moving the screen upwards so that I can see what is being written in the space. Another thing I notice is randomly the HTC Home screen cuts itself off cutting off portions of the tab information. Its something to get used to but I don't see it happening cause I can't figure out what happened to some items on the phone like my GPS doesn't work, I am experiencing worse internet problems than before, Wifi dies frequently, and the dialer doesn't seem to work like it used to. Its a disappointment.

Which key? I have been hunting... and no luck so far.
Backlight timeout linked to lock??
When I re-downloaded the software and re-flashed a *third* time things seemed to work better. The only thing I did differently was skip the 'setup a password' that last time I flashed.
The phone worked pretty well all weekend, and then this morning I finally put in owner info and set a pin password.
And I just noticed the backlight has started dimming after 10 seconds (or less) again. Restart didn't correct it, nor did changing the setting in advanced config so the screen doesn't dim for unlock screen.
For now I turned off lock and went into the backlight tab and it's stopped doing it. BLOODY ANNOYING. I've seen mention of the backlight timeout bug in other forums too...
Even while the phone was working well over the weekend I noticed that fairly often the first attempt to bring it out of standby flashes the screen on then it goes back off, comes on and stays on when I press power the second time.
I ran into the idiotic bug where text is white on white when in landscape mode, know I saw something about that being a cleartype bug or something and there being a fix, but why the hell would it be released like that?
Also, I can NOT get the 'message sent' notification to disable... does 'advanced config' not actually work?
Buggy is an understatement!
Having been unable to bear/ignore the bugs I reverted back to 6.0
Here's what I along with you guys have issues with.
1)Ringtones revert back to it's default tone whenever I open: Settings>Phone
2) Back-light reverts back to 10 seconds at random and often.
3) Google maps will not display letters when searching for places, but it'll invisibly type
4) Typical freezes on pages and things of that nature
5) Bloatware..

I'll help you out here
Go into HKEY_CurrentUser --> ControlPanel --> Sounds --> FileSizeLimit ( it's a DWORD value)
Just delete the DWORD value, and bam, enjoy .
EDIT : wow, just realized this is my first post. I've been browsing the site since the Tilt came out, but I guess I've never found it necessary to post. haha!

I have the exact same problem with my 8925. My work buddy across the hall does not have this problem with his 8925. Running WM6.0 my screen has ALWAYS dimmed at boot, as well as after a call ended; his has never done so. Now, after we've both upgraded to WM6.1, I have all my same problems, as well as the additional 10 second auto dimming that I did not encounter with WM6.0, he still has none.
No matter what settings I change, no matter if connected to power, USB, or none, my screen dims after 10 seconds. I can get it to temporarily revert back to the setting of my choice, by going into the settings and then back out, but if I manually dim the phone, get a call, or pretty much anything, it defaults back to the automatic 10 second dimming. I'm so pissed off about this. S2U2 also automatically kicks in on every screen dim, so I can't use it while the dim prob is going on. Certainly someone within this HUGE base of geniuses has a definitive answer for this.
Lots of little bugs in this release.
Google maps doesn't like it.
Can't get TCPMP to work.
Gets sluggish.
MSVC doesn't notify.
Other things I can't think of now.
Pretty irritating to say the least.
So I picked up a stock AT&T active and been using it for a month now. I love the phone but a few annoying things that it does daily on me is really starting to make me want to throw the poor phone! First the screen is way to sensitive sometimes! I try to text and it adds letters or I try to move between my home screens and it will open an app like I tapped on it, but I didn't. Or when I close out my running tasks it will act like I double tapped in that certain area and will open my mail app since it was in that touch zone. Anyhow I have played around with all the settings like "Air View" or "Motions and gestures" under the settings menu. Also the calling contact feature is really pissing me off. Say someone calls me but I miss the call, so I bring up my call log and I tap on the person that called me. It shows the phone icon and usually when you tap that, it suppose to call the person, but no stupid phone goes back to the call log list instead. I have to keep doing this like around 5 to 10 times before the dumb phone will finally decide to call the person! I am running the stock, or at least what came with it, firmware. Android version 4.3 with Baseband of I537UCUBML2. Has anyone else had these issues with this phone? Plus how can I fix this?

First off I'll say that ML2 had been known to be buggy. For your first problem, did you make sure Glove Mode is disabled? For your second problem I have no idea. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
If it is in fact stock, do a software update to KitKat and it should fix your stability issues. I can't because of root.
I love the Moto X. Wanted one when it was first announced and I ended up buyiing the VZW DevEd through the Black Friday sale. Lately I have been having a lot of problems with my phone and Im not sure what is going on and if it is an app update or a system problems but I'll describe the issues I am having and will let you guys suggestion ideas of how to fix it.
1) When ever I open up the stock contacts app it is always saying "Contacts list is being updated". Some times I'll open it up and I can see all the contacts listed correctly but when I select a contact to view its details I just get a blank screen.
2) This might be due to the contacts app, but when every I receive a phone call from a known contact the phone app only provides me with the phone number and not exactly who the caller is as defined in the contacts. Also when I receive a phone call while the phone is locked with the screen off the screen does not light up but the ring tone is played. Even picking up the phone does not light up the screen. I have to hit the lock button which silences the phone then hit it again to light the screen up then I can select answer or end call. Thats all hoping the caller is still callling me as this process takes a while.
3) Kind of the samething above but with the stock clock app and an active alarm. The phone has been super laggy that I can't silence or snooze and alarm in the morning quickly. I have to place my finger on the ring wait a few seconds to see it light up that I have selected the ring then I can move it to dismiss or snooze. When I select one of those options and let go it will pause on the screen and stay light for 10 seconds and then the selection will process correctly
4) This may be subjective but I think my battery life right now is really bad. I check the battery stats and it seems fine but when I use it the battery seems to drain really fast.
5) This isn't subjective. Everything is laggy from loading an app to displaying the recently used apps. I've tried uninstalling things, disabling things, enabling things and nothing seems to work. Its especially laggy when going from phone locked screen off to the home screen. It is no where as responsive as it once was. I was even down to 4GB of storage left out of 32GB so I cleared a bunch off the SD card and still its laggy.
So what do you guys think? Should I reset the phone or has someone experienced something similar and knows how to fix it. FYI, I am using Apex Pro as my launcher.

Try resetting your phone, if that doesn't work, then talk to motorola support. This stuff shouldn't happen and I'm sure Motorola's support team will be happy to help you.

So I think I fixed the problem last night with out resetting the phone based on something I mentioned here. I stated that I'm using Apex as my launcher. Not sure why I didn't think of this before, but last night I decided to change back to the stock launcher and closed out of apex in the recent apps menu. Everything got super snappy when going from view to view and launching apps. I then loaded Apex back up and it all seemed to work just fine. This morning when my alarms went off I didn't experience the problem that I was describing about above.
So I'm going to consider this issue fixed, however I will keep an eye on it to see if it comes back.
Hey guys,
I am using my Moto X (XT1052) for almost 2 years now. It is/was the best android phone I've had so far. It was smooth, had no hangs and just did what it was supposed to do. Since I received the Update to 5.1 I keep on having real strange issues and it really bothers me because it really renders the phone useless at times. And since I couldnt find another thread with all bugs collected in one place, I am going to start my own thread.
So which bugs did I find so far?
1.Youtube and other video services don't work all the time
(They work sometimes, but the the video stops, tries to resume and ends up in a loop trying to load the video. Often only a reboot helps.)
2. Battery consumption in general has become way worse (cell-standby)
3. Random "Optimizing apps" after a reboot
4. No Active Display with handsover (I know this isn't a feature anymore, but to me this is a bug as well)
5. Missing energy widget
6. Wifi range has reduced significantly and seems to be buggy at times (can't always tell if it's my router or the phone, but mostly it's the phone)
7. Sometimes the phone uses mobile data instead of wifi, even if connected
8. Vibration mode (important notifications only) doesnt always end properly and the phone doesn't start vibrating again after the set time or alarm
I think that's it for now. But this clearly is enough for me.
So please Moto guys do something! If you need logcats or anything else, let me know and I ll help out as good as I can. I was one of those who patiently waited for an update instead of crying for one, because I wanted a stable one rather than a fast and unstable one. So either fix it, or I ll have to return my Moto X. The phone in its' current state is useless for me. Especially as I can't even downgrade without having to risk a full brick. So please do something and push an update to either allow downgrading, or fix the existing bugs!

I miss this very badly
"No Active Display with handsover"
Now I have to tap or take my phone to see notifications... :crying:
I switched over to CM and all is going great of course at a small cost of losing Moto voice feature but I can most certainly live without it. I've got very decent battery life of 5-6hours of screen time over a span of 13hours. No over heating issues and usually cell standby sits at 2% usage which is absolutely fine for me.. Even the hand wave gesture works with active display. I'm so happy with how stable it is with CM. Living with a bug free phone for now.

Random Crashes followed by optimization boot
I have been getting random crashes that lead to the phone shutting off. When I turn it back on, it takes FOREVER to optimize 92 apps. I don't have even 30 apps on the phone!
I did a factory reset and still have this problem. It's happening every couple of days. It's making my experience with this phone very frustrating!
Some more issues I've found:
Soundproblem, sometimes when I switch e.g. from twitch to spotify and then try to increase or decrease the volume, I get a crackling sound every time I push the button. Sometimes it disappears after a certain time of not playing anything, but mostly again only a reboot helps.
The phone unlocks itself more often in my pockets for no obvious reason.
The unlock on the ActiveDisplay unlockscreen often only leads to the normal unlocking screen instead of the homescreen. Same thing when I try to open notifications. Mostly those apps run, but I get to see the normal lockscreen, instead of the app with the notification.

I think I found a fix for the YouTube problem.
Press the power button and keep it pressed till you feel another vibrate ie. After the power menu pops up.
That seems to solve it

Well that's not exactly what I would call a fix it appears to work sometimes though. I also noticed that simply changing the video quality from let's say 720p to 480p often resolves the issues. I mostly get the video bug, when I am trying to watch things in 720p or above. Maybe it is a codec problem? A broken lib?

For YouTube, you could get another app. I stopped the cell standby issue by turning off carrier internet when not needed. Install greenify, servicely, battery saver, and power nap. 1 I too have random optimizing of apps. 2 pocket dials have increased, 3 if I tap on the phone icon from messaging app to make call to that person, I have to exit out of the SMS app before I see the call screen. 4 sometimes when I'm multi tasking I go back to another app but the app reloads and doesn't take me to where I was. 5 Google now voice only responds 30% of the time when i say hello google. Some other problems I have noticed but can't think of right now

Good thing I waited for a version that I could go back to kit kat because it didn't update the bootloader to lollipop. This is the thread if anyone is interested. I flashed this rom for xt1053 on my Rogers xt 1058, with only speaker phone not working away from WiFi for some reason, but that's if you flash on another moto x besides xt1053. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3155843
1. Battery drain (cell standby) makes the phone unusable.
2. WiFi does not connect or only works rarely now.

- dialler doesnt dial a call

Cell Standby Battery drain is the worst..
Randomly restarting and optimizing apps has been a huge problem as well.
I miss the wave to wake for active notifications...
But what I really hate about 5.1, is that when using wifi my mobile radio keeps active all the time...
This drains the battery while being on wifi...
Funny enough, when I'm on mobile data, everything is ok and mobile radio is active only when needed by the apps...
On wifi on the other hand, oh man... it's active all the time...
