Moto X Pure :: No Longer Able To Pull To Refresh Google Now
Sep 28, 2015
I did post this under the apps section as well, but I'm not sure if my issue is device specific. Since receiving my new Pure, I am no longer able to "pull to refresh" Google Now. Also, some of the info such as calendar events and weather do not refresh automatically upon opening Now.
I have a Moto X Pure edition running Marshmallow. Google Contacts app does not show consolidated contacts from multiple accounts. I have added accounts such as Messenger, Whatsapp, Exchange, Gmail and Skype. However, the Contacts app only lists contact from Gmail and Skype. Contacts from all of the other accounts are not listed. If I open up the Outlook app (which is the Exchange account), I have all my contacts there. If I open up Messenger, I have the contacts there. But the Google Contacts app is not pulling from all these for some reason when I choose "All Contacts" or even pulling from Messenger when I choose " Messenger" only.
Having an issue with the pull down to refresh on Google Now? I've tried it with stock launcher and with Nova Launcher to no avail. It does work with Google Now Launcher, but that defeats the customization of Nova (and I don't like the persistent Google Search Bar).
This happens with my Nexus 6 too. When I say "Ok Google, call [contact name] on speaker phone", I still have to manually push the speakerphone icon. The voice prompt says "calling xxx on speakerphone", but it doesn't activate the speakerphone.
As the title says play music hasn't been updated to support storage formatted as internal when you download and save music. I formatted my storage on the Pure. Bummer.
I clicked "OK, I get it" to get rid of a marshmallow Android update and it went ahead and scheduled it... Now the notification tray shows System Update and I can't get rid of it.
I can't send a decent quality video clip taken with my phone over mms. It will only let me send unwatchable video, even if the video is only five seconds. Is there something I'm missing?
I have 2 apps that I prefer to not have notifications from; boom beach and clash of clans. In settings under apps I set both apps to block all notifications, yet they seem to reset themselves to allow all notifications.
I have one day left before I can return this phone and I just discovered that it does not even see my bit30 nes controller or my sharkk Bluetooth speaker. I have used these devices countless times on my OG X and my nexus 10 (both on 5.1.1) without issue. I have a nexus player and it sees that fine (haven't had a chance to try to connect it yet).
I did some research and all I can find to try is to put it in safe mode and try pairing. It still doesn't see either.Is there anything else I can try? If I can't get this resolved by tomorrow, I am sending it back permanently because I don't want to play risky games with the replacement they will send me.
"7. Enable Developer options (and speed up animations) Moto X Pure Edition Developer Options
No matter which Android device we get, as soon as it boots up we immediately jump into the hidden Developer options and speed up the animations. This will make the entire phone feel so much more responsive and snappy.
Here’s how you do it:
Jump into your Settings app Scroll down to the bottom and select About phone Scroll to the bottom and press Build number 7 times Press back button and select new Developer options at the bottom of Settings Find window animation scale, transition animation scale, animator duration scale and select .5x for each"
I have since disabled the developer's option but it still will not recognise any bt devices..
I'm running Nova launcher and have checked those settings as well as the X's settings and can't find out how to get rid of the vibration when sliding to unlock.
I just got my MXPE yesterday, and ever since I activated it I'm constantly recieving a notification that I have a voicemail. Every hour my phone will go off telling me I have a new one, but when I access my voicemail there are no messages. I'm on Sprint, and I've called their support and they've walked me through everything from resetting my voicemail to reprogramming the Sprint code in the phone, but it still won't go away.
I've just got a Moto X Style and mostly love it (especially coming from my ancient Galaxy S3 which was slowwwww at opening apps)
One problem I'm having though is the seeming inability to turn on or off vibration when I get notifications. I used to use my phone in one of three ways:
1) Outdoors - Ringers/notifications on full volume, plus vibration 2) Indoors - Ringers/notifications quieter, no vibration 3) Bedtime - Ringers on but quiet, notifications silent, no vibration
I can't seem to get anything close to this. Even when I've gone into individual apps and turned off the vibration setting, it still vibrates! And this motor is almost as loud as the sounds!
When I get a new message from WhatsApp it doesn't notify on the top bar, it appears just the icon for this app. If this icon is already there, it doesn't change anything if I've received a new message, (I've to check pulling down the bar to see if I received new messages and who has sent it). My older cellphone used to show the message "Message from..." for like a few seconds, so I could see instantaneously when I'd got new messages.
When I'm listening to music, either through Bluetooth or the phone's speakers (haven't tested this with headphones), and I get a Google Voice call through Hangouts, the music will pause while the phone rings, but a second or two after I answer the call, the music will start playing again. It's much quieter and awful quality, but still loud enough for the other person to hear and drown out their voice.
I'll answer the phone and start talking, then the music starts playing again and I have to tell that person to hold on a second while I pull the phone away from my face to pause the music. It's extremely annoying and it's never happened on any other Android device I own.
When my phone vibrates you can really hear the vibration, so if the phone is in my pocket and it vibrates someone next to me would be able.to hear it.Is the vibration suppose to be loud that way?
Since I've had the phone from last Wednesday, the MXPE has woken up over a dozen times in my front pocket. I've ****/pocket dialed at least 4 people because of it. And I'm sure my battery life is suffering because every time I take it out of my front pocket, the phone is awake. In my car with the radio on, my phone has come to life several times because it believes it has heard the launch phrase, even though my phrase is pretty obscure. I know the simple solution is to turn off Moto Display/Active Voice, etc.. but I actually like the features.
I recently upgraded to marshmallow and so far it's not going well. Mainly with access to my SD card and external HD. With lollipop I usually use ES File Explorer, no problems transferring media to and from SD card or external. With mm it doesn't allow 3rd party app to access any storage and forces you to use OS. How to go back to lollipop?
So, when I am on my works wifi no emails will come through from my exchange account which is put through gmail. However, I took it off wifi and they came right through for some reason. I was on a Nexus 6 up until a few days ago and I didn't have any issues when connected to wifi.
What happened: (Moto X Pure, just purchased new from Moto)
Came with Android 5, and I have upgraded it to Android 6 with the update straight from Moto. Been on Android 6 since the first day of use, about a week ago. Then today ...
1. Left phone on (Moto OEM) charger overnight, was at about 23% to begin with. 2. 7am Alarm went off (one I had set). 3. I silenced the alarm. 4. Unplugged from charger. 5. Phone would not work at all. No display. Could not get it to power on or the screen to come on (if it was powered on). Depressed the power button. Held it in, etc and so on. Nothing worked. 6. Plugged it back into the OEM charger and it came on and booted up. 7. After starting up it showed a 99% charge level. 8. Working fine now.
