guys, have u tried using one of those HD fullscreen caller ID apps ?
I have a Moto G with 4.3, and it just shows 1/3 top half of contact pictures with an incoming call !
by using this app, full contact picture is shown. i don't know whether updating to KitKat would work.

u can try this, or other similar apps or some dialer.
hope this helps.

hey,
think everyone got this since the update. We had some posts on this in the german android help forums.
I mailed motorola, they said I should try a factory reset.. which didnt help (so you dont have to try).
I mailed them again and they said they forward that error to the technicians. So when I here something about this I post it here !
Please post all questions in the Q & A section. Thanks! Thread moved.

My MZ608-32 have the same problem after I upgrade to ICS, only sound on one speaker, I try to factory reset two times and nothing, in some aplications the lower speaker function with very low volume at example some YouTube videos. With readphones both sides work fine.
In my MZ607 from Brazil I have same bug. But I like so much this bug, with it I send my MZ607 for warranty and probably I get my money back. And get unlock bootloader tablet.
Not Good
I have a Xoom 2 ME and since updating to ICS, I too, have the same sound problem. Do you all think it is worth us clubbing together and sending a mass e-mail to Motorola and see if we can get some form of OTA update to fix the problem? We are only getting half the speakers working and we paid for them ALL to work!
Has anyone got a place we can send such error reports to?
Many Thanks in Advance

Let's see what will be the excuse this time...
Hi guys.
I found a workaround for this bug. For now im using some Tasker profiles to change the speakers configuration when the screen orientation is changed, but i plan to write an app to do this automatically. Root is needed to workaround this bug, and permanent rom changes aren't necessary so it doesn't break OTA updates.
In not sure why motorola disabled this feature on the ics update, it works ok here, a "pop" can be heard when the screen is rotated, maybe thats their reason...
Hi, it would be great to make the speakers work again.
Regards.
Hi guys, sorry for the delay on this. The apk is done and uploaded to google play. Been using it for a few weeks now, works good.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=wms.xoom2mespeakersfix
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=wms.xoom2mespeakersfixfree
If it works for you, buy me a beer by getting the paid version. Cheers.
Please, thank this post if it has fixed your xoom. :good:
Works great
At least the Xoom 2 ICS works well.
My original Xoom running Motorola's ICS lags a lot... Also, it crashes and reboots at least once everyday...
Thank you bro
You're a genious.
Works great :good:
Motorola Xoom

Nexus 5 screen with Purple Spot on dark backgrounds

I just realized when i was tinkering with my settings that I have a small purple spot/smudge on my screen. It only appears in dark backgrounds like black, grey. I have called google and they will allow me to keep the device for the time being and sending me a new one. Has anyone here have the same problem?

Regardless, it should be under warranty and this is a defect, so the seller should give you a new one or repair it.

Solved - Update Notification Annoying me :)

Hello Friends....
As you know all about the updates in our Xperia L, and may be some of our friends already updated their phone, I did also but seriously guys after this update 4.3 I was facing lots of problem in my Xperia L like screen resolution, phone becomes more slower then before, hanging problem and the most worst thing was its Screen Lock system which was totally a bull **** upgrade.
However I got my old version through XDA Developers and I would like to say thanks to them but Guyz I have a problem now and i.e. I got notification for this update which I don't to do it...but its message and notification in the status bar, its really annoying to me.....so can you tell me how do I turned if off permanently..I dont want to any update from the Android??

I`am running 4.4.2 and not rooted and i don`t have that issue. Are you rooted and running stock or custom rom, running mods like xposed framework, running a custom kernel and/or recovery? Info please
ya i am rooted and i m in stock rom only,but using Franco kernal(R32).Xposed framework i m using gravitybox(KK).I have CWM recovery.
What is causing this problem any idea??
N thanks for ur reply.

Look in the Xposed and/or Franco kernel thread for a similar issue like yours, there may be a fix posted. Last resort is to flash a stock image in fastboot and that will probably fix your problem.

When asking for assistance it's best to provide as much information as possible. As it stands I have no idea what you're referring to, and I think it's safe to assume most people won't either.
Ok i will search in there threads.Hope there is some fix posted
Thanks.

Hi,
But what is "this proximity sensor( during call) bug" you are referring? Honestly I have no idea what you are talking about, I never had noticed a bug or anything else with the proximity sensor during call
Like _MetalHead_ said if you want help describe the problem...
Ok fine i will keep that in mind, next time if i post any questions.

For the next time ok, but for now (in this thread here) you can't describe/explain the problem???
There is video on youtube regarding this.i cant post it in here so.
Anywaz the issue is when i m in call,
Steps
1)Call a number
2)Screen goes off.
if i try to make the screen on(to end the all or anything) i have to press 4-5 times power button which also happens by luck to make the screen on.
Also when in call (screen is off),if i try to do something in the status bar.Like if i touch near status bar(in call screen off),when the call ends u can see the status bar was active even if the screen was off.
Hope i m understandable.
i have posted the description of the issue just now .
Historically, this was usually down to a crap screen protector blocking the sensors. OP - are you using an SP?

Ya i m using Sceen protector,but this issue is for poeple who r not using SP also ,in other forums i have seen the same issue.
Only happens to me in the dark.
touch control
I have the same problem, during call the screen go black like it shuld be ,but its stilk active so if you tuch it it still responsive as if its on, i found thet if i disable touch control the problem goes away...

exactly the same for me!!! (except R33)
Same issue on mine, and I don't use a case or screen protector. It's annoying because I have to enter a passcode to check my voicemail, but the screen stays black when I move the phone away from my head. Putting it on speaker seems to fix the issue, but I don't always want my phone calls broadcast to everyone around me.

Led notification light issues

Hi all
Just got my 2nd nexus 5, first one went back for touch screen issues. Got 2nd one and this has problem too.
If someone sends me a text the pulse notification light pulses once and that's it. No repeat. However after that if someone sends me a text it works as it should, ie repeats every 10 seconds.
Seems very random as to when it works properly. Anyone else have this issue?
Thanks all
Chris

Yes, people have this problem on stock rom.. It appears randomly though and not as often as you're getting. A restart fixes it... Are you using Light Flow or any app to control the LED??
No will light flow solve this?

May be, May be not. Even light flow has some random problems with LED notifications... For some people it works flawlessly, for some it doesn't... Only way is to try it out...

Trying it now seems to work ok. Strange that my last nexus didn't suffer this problem. Wounder if Google are aware of this issue?
Also on a side note not sure if it's related but I'm sure my first nexus 5 did a software update when I first took it out of the box, my new one did not do that.

Yes, I think they are aware of it... I remember reading it somewhere around XDA about it.. Can't find a link to it though.. I guess we will just have to wait for the update and see... FYI, a reboot fixes the issue temporarily..
It didn't update because the ones which were manufactured in January came with 4.4.2 Out of the box which is the latest update!

Thanks for your reply mate, for me when I reboot the first message does not work, then they seem ok after that, that's just for sms, I get no notifications at all with whatsapp etc, however light flow seems to work ok at moment but would be nice if Google did a fix.
