[Q] Maxx - Bluetooth broke after 4.4 update - Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I updated a week or so ago per the OTA sent out. I have since had problems with all of my bluetooth headsets cutting out and then completely not working during phone calls. My phone is basically useless when connected to my car's bluetooth. I have reset my phone back to factory twice with the hopes that would solve my problem. Is there a fix for this problem or should I just have Verizon send me a new phone under warranty?
Thanks in advance!

There have been some known issues with bluetooth and 4.4 which Moto will hopefully fix in the 4.4.3 update soon. Might want to wait for that instead.

Any idea of how long of a wait that will be? I'm not sure I'm patient enough to go weeks waiting on them to put out an update.
Thanks for your response!

It's probably going to be a few weeks- hopefully, say, mid-July. That's what I would bet on. David Schuster of Motorola announced a few weeks ago that the Droids would get 4.4.3. He previously announced that it takes 4-8 weeks to go through carrier testing and approval. An I suspect that Motorola will push the 4.4.3 update to all of the Moto X models in the US first, and so far only unlocked Moto X phones have 4.4.3.

Blueant q2 connection issue

I have am issue where my blueant q2 headset says its connected but calls are not routed through the headset if my phone is left idle (no calls) for 5 min or more. Anyone else having the same issue?
I can toggle Bluetooth off and on and do the same on my headset and reconnect, it just never works if I'm not on a call and the phone has been sitting. Not very practical while driving.

I have a Q2 and it works fine, great actually. Have you downloaded the BlueAnt Android app? See if it helps.
http://www.mediafire.com/?mijqgkknore
P.S. - It says Q1 but recognizes the headset as a Q2
I've been encountering the same thing with my z9i. Sometimes it will last a while and I'll be able to pick up and use it but most of the time it will "lock up" and I'll have to toggle the bluetooth on the phone. It's definitely an annoyance.
I will try the app and see if it helps. Anyone else having this issue?

I can't get the Q2 to connect any calls whatsoever, OP did you solve the problem, I'm just about to return this thing if it won't work.

For me, it wasn't the Q2 it was the flaky Bluetooth in the ROM. It would work great with my headset and in the car and then, with nothing changed on either side, would stop working. Rebooting helped sometimes but it never stayed working consistently without some type of intervention.
I have the q2 as well and g2x connects and works but the problem here is the g2x Bluetooth driver itself. If they release GB and still not get this working i will never buy another lg phone. My next phone will definitely be a nexus with all these manufacturer's not getting their act together

LG is definitely making a case with me to go Nexus too, Google needs to get it together and force action with these companies, "no updates, no android for you".

I have made up my mind. Next year it will be a Nexus device. Done with all these company starting with Sony. First was the Xperia X1. Paid top dollar for that phone and sony lied and never gave it an update. Next was Nokia N900 and just as usually one or two update (can't remmember anymore) and the drop the device and left everyone in the dark. No i come over to LG and all we get from them is soon, this summer.... I have had it with all these companies. I would have had the Nexus S if not for the fact that i needed external SD card. The sensation is looking better more and more everyday to me even with its issues atleast we will get support from HTC. If they don't release this damn update before July is over then we all are really screwed. Now if they release GB and we still have Bluetooth issues and phone reboot or other issues that we currently have, then LG will go down big time. If they release GB and CM7 can not get their new driver working on it then WE ARE REALLY screwed and i for sure will really quickly look into getting rid of the G2x asap.
PS: all their top end devices that just came out all have Froyo. LG what are you guys really thinking. Seriously my suspicion is this. If we get GB i think that will be that LAST update we get from LG. I really hope CM7 can get the new driver to work with GB.

Seriously with all their to devices launching with froyo we can see lgs commitment to the latest software.lg should get out of the game it's obvious they don't know how to play.

Yes I fixed it. The buggy gingerbread leak and cm7 roms both fix the issue for calls. No more disconnects after it sits do a while. There definitely is an issue with the stock froyo and froyo based roms. Hope that helps.

I flashed EB 1.05 GB 2.3.3 last night and spent the day driving using my Q2 without any problems at all. It even played music and I could make and receive calls with it.

How long did you test this? have the phone and BT connected for couple hours and see if it looses sound? mine looses sound in less than 2hrs. The new one i picked up today did it in less than 30mins. I am just about to give up on the G2x.

I used it for over an hour listening to my siriusxm apparently and making calls. No issues.

No, not long enough.... Leave BT on and Q2 on. You don't have to listen to music or make calls. Keep checking it by playing a music every 30mins or so and see if it works. During all my test it seems like 2hrs and 30min in, it will lock up. I ended up giving up on G2x because i know it is where the problem is and do not trust WE will ever see another update from LG. I don't want what happened to me with my Nokia N900 to repeat itself. I got the Sensation and boy, it just works. Battery life is unbelievable.
PS: BT worked like it is suppose to.

OTA updates?

I've had my US WiFi Xoom for about a week now and I still haven't received the 3.1 update let alone the 3.2. Is there a reason its taking so long?

I take it you are completely stock, because if you weren't you would already be on 3.2 with Team Tiamat most likely. How often do you check for updates? You really should just keep trying, or root and flash the update manually. I thought the 3.2 Wifi updates were done rolling out. You really should have gotten it by now...
mate i heard of trying to change your date and time to like a week later than now (obviously turn off network time, etc) and reboot... try it a couple of times... as i had that problem and it worked and im halfway around the world from where the tablet from =]

I thought about saying that, but I figured the update should be widely available by now since they have had plenty of time to roll it out, but that's worth a shot regardless.
US wifi here, I just got my 3.2 update a few days ago, almost a month after it was released I believe. I'm not gonna installi it because i'm rooted but it sure is tempting to try

(Q) HE Update

Just wondering if anyone else that was on the HD update have not got the new HE update... Ive been checking since it came out and my wifes phone got the HE update but mine has yet to get it? It keeps telling me that theres no new update..
Updates are sent out in segments, not everyone gets them at the same time and can take a few weeks or more to get to everyone.

I had a problem getting the updates. I had to go back to factory and wait at least a day and a half before I got the update. So, if you been rooted before it migt just take a day or so before you get it. I hope this make sense.

[Q] Moto G rebooting

My wifes Moto G occaisionally crashes and reboots. It hasnt happened very often but I would like to know if it is happening to anyone else and if they know the cause? Maybe it's a bug that will be sorted with a future software upgrade?
The same is happening to me right now, I'm running 4.3. Sometimes it becomes very annoying; I already contacted Motorola through, they're supposed to call me later today...
I hope that KitKat solves this issue because I don't want to root yet.

Ah so it's not just us then. I hope that an update will cure it as I doubt that my wife would let me root her phone. Will be interesing to see what Motorola say.

Mine even reboots during the start-up animation, it has become so annoying. A shame since it is a great device
I'll report with the results later.

Same issue here. Got the device, (US GSM) on Dec. 14th, and had it happen a couple of times. I didn't think anything of it, because this phone is for my son, and I was trying out parental control stuff on it. I wrapped it, and it sat under the tree till the 25th, which is when I updated it to 4.4, and the crashing has gotten worse. I get random app crashes, and more reboots now than ever. I cleared the partition cache, which didn't work. I am going to try a factory wipe and see if that fixes it, but I honestly doubt it. Moto chat told me to call in the morning to talk to a level 2 tech.
So, there seem to be a few of us, but I didn't see anything on their support forums....

So far I've had a single instant reboot in the camera app. Hope it doesn't get worse.
The phone is still rebooting sometimes. Is there any way I can check why it is happening like something that will create an error log? Or does anyone have any tips for stopping it happening? It is a very minor nuisance at the moment but I'm afraid it might get worse. Especially if it is a problem with the hardware rather than the software.
I have a UK moto g and it hasn't rebooted on me yet the past week I have had it
Sent from my XT1032 using xda app-developers app
I've got the International 8 GB version from Koodo and it hasn't rebooted since I started using it full time on Dec 28. It remains powered up 24/7.
Often these reboots and crashes are user app related, it may be a good idea to data factory reset the phone and see if the issue remains.
Undervolting the cpu may cause these issues too if you undervolt too much.
I have 120 apps installed and had no crash/reboot so far in the 3 weeks i had the phone.
I have same trouble. My device is crashing and rebooting sometimes at day. Is there any solution??
Moto g purchased in mexico, telcel.
Guys, return it to your phone dealer if you can. Waiting for a fix(that may or may not come) will just increase your pain. If the service center spots the restart, they should definitely repair/replace your phone.

Yes it could be but I think it's most likely Android OS or Motorola's own certain app that's causing this. My device resets so frequently that's it become impossible to use, unbelievably it reboots every 5-10min, even when I leave the phone on standby I see it rebooting it self.
It's no just specific app that I use, it has rebooted while I'm browsing (Google Chrome), in Gallery app, on Play Store and also when I was transferring images from pc to the device!
Motorola Chat support are useless, they just game me links to Moto UK Support contact, that's it. Not much of advice.
So I will be taking it back to Phone4u store and possibly get it replaced if they can.
Kit kat seems to have fixed problem.

My wifes phone seemed to be getting worse. It rebooted four times the day before yesterday. It always seemed to be worst when we were travelling.
Yesterday morning the Kit Kat update became available. The phone hasn't rebooted since. Hope I'm not speaking too soon but fingers crossed it seems to be fixed.
We got 2 Moto G's in our family (one for me, one for my father), both ordered from Amazon.de as 8gb version (XT1032)
I haven't seen any reboots on one of these devices. They both got updated to 4.4.2 yesterday and also no crashes.
Has anyone found out what is causing the crashes? Is it maybe even a hardware failure?

If the Kit kat upgrade has cured the problem on my wifes phone then it must have been software related. Possibly an app I had downloaded was causing it. It's worth pointing out as well that most people didn't seem to have this issue.
BTW I spoke to Motorola chat a few days ago using the help app. on the phone. They told me it was probably an app I had downloaded causing it and a factory reset would sort it. Installing the upgrade seems to have done the same thing though.
Happy to hear it's not something hardware related.
I even had reboots with my nexus 5, 4 on random basis (not often). Must be some sort of app I've had installed on all my devices
I received mine in december (from Amazon [Retail.FR]) and experienced some crashes (almost every day).
I installed KitKat on it and did two factor resets to be sure it was not software related issues. Since then, a week ago, I experienced a crash every day and half (screenshot). Crash happened without any reason or specific context.
My serial number is: TA8900B6##
I decided to return my Moto G to Amazon and buy a new one.
I'm experiencing the same and I decided to try to run a constant logcat in the background to see what's going on. Also is there any way to have a constant recording with dmesg? I'm no linux commands expert.
For logcat (in terminal emulator) I used logcat > sdcard/logcat.txt which is growing in size as far as I can see. Hopefully this brings some news.
Good luck everyone.
Cheers

[Q] Shield Controller Software Update

Asking for help from Shield controller owners.
Have you updated the software for the controller? Is the controller still working after the update?
I updated my controller when prompted last two weeks, and it went wonky. RMA'd it and got a new replacement today, and afraid to update it again.
The notification is killing me, really.
No problem when mine did the update.

thank you for your reply.
may I please know when did you update it? i contacted nvidia and they are aware of this issue since they have seen a few reports on it. they recommend to skip this update and wait until the update for the tablet is released. the update for the controller should follow closely afterwards.
Within the last week - week and a half. Did the update right after getting Android 5.0 installed.
