You mean the official flip shell isn't able to turn the screen off/on in CM 11/PA? I'm pretty sure it's kernel related and should be fairly simple for the dev the fix. Maybe try reporting it on the thread.

He means, the smart cover app (for covers without magnet to turn the screen on and off using proximity sensor) doesn´t work with the moto G and the moto g LTE

Because there is a restriction that prevents access to these sensors, actually it's sort of a bug and only the system user can access these.
Even things like Skype can't access them while you're incall.
Maybe as root you can control them, but the app needs to be using that method.

This one works very well on my Verizon XT1028 with a generic non-magnetic flip cover (stock 4.4.4, not rooted, bootloader locked):

Don't know if the problem may be specific to Paradoid or CM roms, however; but worth a try I guess.

I cannot give you a proper solution regarding your problem but I can tell you alternate way, which can be used to wake screen, there is a app named "Gravity Screen Pro - On/Off"

and it not only works on proximity sensor but you can use other sensor to work it and its not battery hungry, I also tested this on a phone without proximity sensor, works like a charm, free version of this app also available in market, hope it will resolve your issue

Tasker LTE setting?

Has anyone been able to get tasker to toggle 4g lte with this phone? I've tried mobile data and Secure Settings LTE setting but neither activate the 4g.

I got it to work on cm, I don't think secure settings supports moto blur.
I'm on Carbon Official 4.2.2 which is CM based. Which setting did you use to accomplish this?

I would also be glad to know how you managed to do this.

Touch less Control!

Sooo Google and Motorola released the ApK for touch less control..it installs on my HD..but doesn't create a menu to use...any chance anyone can take a crack at modifying the all to work with our phones? I know open mic+ is available..but the official touch less control would be better

Wouldn't it keep the phone awake all the time?

well considering OpenMic+ is employing similar ideas...but with low power usage..it only keeps power to the microphone... The X and Ultra series have the X8 system with a low power core for the microphone. ive opened up the apk file to see whats in it..but im not sure what im looking for.. need to download an XML editor.

[Q] Stock camera not focusing in 4.4.4

recently I notice that my camera wouldn't focus and I think it started happening after the latest update.
everything was working great before and never had an issue. any ideas?
The latest camera update our android update? Try clearing data and cache for the camera app. If that doesn't work try another camera app.
Edit: Typo

I meant I am using all the latest software.... All updates were installed.
I tried clearing the cache... Downgrading the camera app, installed various camera apps and same result.
I also did a factory reset.

...and the glass covering the lens is not smudged?
Glass is clean, very clean actually, never used the device without a case and the glass usually wouldn't touched any surfaces directly.

You could try downgrading to another version of android by flashing the stock image. If that doesn't work I think there may be a hardware issue.

I tried going back to 4.4.2 when I know it worked but it didn't work with the downgrade.
I called Google and they will send another device... Factory refurbished... I'm skeptical about that thou, should I be?

Download another camera app and see if you have the same issue. If you don't, then it's just the software and not a problem with the camera itself.
Hel already mentioned that he tried many camera apps all with the same result.
@op No, I think the new device will be just fine. Don't worry about it.

Can't connect to camera CM11s

Just wondering if anyone else gets this on the stock ROM every so often?

I get this issue ALL THE TIME when I'm trying to use Snapchat, but I'm assuming that's just an issue with the app and it's compatibility with my device, ROM, kernal, etc. I haven't noticed it happening with the Camera Next app (Cyanogen stock camera), but I also haven't tried using it much.

That's a well-known Cyanogenmod issue which I frankly hoped would not occur on this CM-powered phone. I did have it happen too on some occasions regardless of which app triggered the camera.
The good old "Restart Camera" APK seems to do the trick even though it takes a lot of time to reinitialize the camera afterwards. See here for the APK: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/17-fixed-camera-app-lib-cm-aosp-roms-t2505973
Yeah same here with Snapchat

Not sure whether it would be worth flash a different ROM just because of this issue. Shame though because I really do like this ROM.

I just downloaded the Camera Reset apk that someone previously mentioned and I'm hoping when Snapchat loses connection to the camera, using the reset app will fix it. Better than restarting the phone.

XT1033 lollipop bug?

Hey guys,
I'm currently using an Xt1033 with the Brazilian retail 5.0 soak test
I'm experiencing this weird bug where the navigation's black bar extends to almost half the screen. (See attached photos)
The problem is easily fixed by tapping the back button or recents, but I wanted to know if anyone else had this bug and were able to fit it.
Thanks

It isn't the keyboard that you are using?
Try switching to a different one.
Cheers!
I'm using the Google keyboard, and it doesn't seem to affect it as I've had the glitch even with Swiftkey
