NFC stopped working - Moto X General

When I first got the X NFC worked fine. I haven't used it in a while because I just don't use it. But I changed the back cover today and tried NFC a little while ago and it doesn't work. I have it enabled . unless I'm missing something. I don't see how I could of broke it by changing the cover. Any ideas?
Thanks!

What were you trying to use it on? Mine refuses to even notice a galaxy s4 but works fine on everything else

On these Tectiles I got from Samsung when I had my S3. I think I tried the NFC with my X, unless it was when I had my HTC One and thought I tried it with the X ?
I don't have my battery for my S3 that has NFC on it so I can't check with that.

I have successfully beamed stuff from my Nexus 7 to my Nexus 10.
One issue I did come across is with bluetooth... I think it's a 4.2 issue. Tried to normally bluetooth something from N7 to N10 and the N10 went crazy. Came up with accept or decline, then crashes, then comes up accept or decline again and wouldn't stop doing this. I even turned off my N10 and turned it back on and it would still do it. In the end I had to turn both devices off to get it to stop. I'm not going to be using bluetooth again any time soon.
whatt??? damn maybe its my rom. did you do it in the middle of the back??

Yeah the middle. Works fine.
I beam pic from my S3 to the nexus back and forth, no problem
Same. Aloso it has a dual NFC so there is one on the top on the front. Try that one.

thats crazy. im guessing my PacMan roms nfc isnt working or maybe its just my 10's NFC that isnt working
I am also having a lot of issues with my NFC tags.
Even when using the app TagInfo it says my tags don't have a NFC chip on it
One time I had luck and one small tag (192b) worked, but some time after that it didn't work anymore like the other tags.
Those tags used to work fine on my galaxy nexus and I loved to use them
The Nexus 10 just plays the NFC sound (up to down) and nothing happens (because it thinks that the tags don't have any usable chip on it...)
Someone else experiencing similar things?
Me too. I get the NFC sound, on either the back or front sensor, but nothing can read any of my many different NFC chips. My Galaxy Nexus reads them all fine (and writes them as well). Everything else is perfect with my N10, so I'd really like to find out it's a firmware/software problem, not a hardware problem with my particular N10.
good luck:fingers-crossed:

I was able to beam from the N10 to the S3 a pic but when I tried the other way from S3 to N10 is just beaming the App but not the picture. Any ideas?

Screen stops working momentarily?

Hello everyone. So far I'm loving everything about my Nexus 4. The thing is fast and beautiful, but I unfortunately I have a problem.
Every once in a while the LCD will stop working. I unlock it and it works, then maybe 5 hours later (after many unlocks and locks) I will unlock it and when the screen should come on my LCD slowly turns white, it looks like when you push on the screen, then it slowly spreads until the whole screen is white. I lock it then relock it and its back to normal.
Anyone else have this issue?

May be one of the apps you installed is trying to launch something upon unlocking. Do you have any er... shady looking apps installed?

Nope no shady apps. This doesn't seem like a software issue. I tried restoring many times, also the touch screen is still functional and I can still unlock the lock screen. I hear the click and I can launch apps (I placed YouTube on my home screen and just launched a video blindly)

I had that issue, but not anymore with the replacement that google sent me.
Although my screen issued has been fiex, my google wallet failed to work on the new phone.
So now, I am back to using the old phone with screen issue.

Um... I kinda rooted and unlocked my boot loader and loaded CM10. I probably can't get a replacement now.

Sure you can, just flash stock image and relock the bootloader again.

This issues is really annoying, widgetlocker did not help it after all
I have re-installed stock twice, and I have ALSO tried another rom (MiNCO) but no dice.
I heard turning off auto-brightness resolves it, I'll try that for now

Nexus X

I just switched over from a Nexus 5 to the Moto X. For starters I must say the I found he Nexus 5 extremely suitable to my needs (I've used pretty much every single flagship device out there).
I personally think Google has done a phenomenal job with KitKat.
Once I received my Moto X and turned it on, I was greeted with what seemed to be the Jelly Bean launcher but when I checked the firmware version it was indeed 4.4.2.
I used it a few days but found my self missing the feel of KK launcher on my N5.
I then side-loaded the official N5 launcher on to my MX and must say.. To me now this is by far the best phone I've ever owned.
Great Moto X functionality with the minimalist look and feel of the N5. Win.
Give it a try.. I think you might just like what you get.
EDIT: Link to JUSTrollin's post where you can find info on the launcher:

Which launcher is that? GEL? And where did you install it from?
What does it offer you extra?
Yeah more info is appreciated
I think he's talking about this launcher, which works with Moto X without any modification.

You can use OK Google now without ever touching your phone.

Yes, I like the larger icons and the swipe left to google now. I think it should be there stock.
Yeah, I posted in our Theme and Apps section about this same topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2639891
I really enjoy the GEL launcher and the phone itself. The combo of the launcher and touchless makes it the best phone I have used to date as well.
Yes it is the GEL launcher. What I did was disable the 'hot word detection' on Google now. Instead, I use the built in voice recognition of Moto X " OK. Google Now". It works better for me that way.

It lacks certain substances to be a true Nexus. Nexus phones are much easier to unlock bootloader, flashing without risking bricking, and much more rom developers.
Currently I'm using my Moto X without root, but I am looking forward to a Nexus phone that have touchless control.
OK, I've installed it, but I feel like I'm missing something. I can't find any settings to this launcher, can't add more homescreens, can't change app drawer orientation. What can this do what e.g. Nova can't? I don't see it.

You have to hold the home screen to open up widgets and settings but there is also an xposed module for it that let's you customize it more. You have to drag an app to the next screen to make another home screen like an iPhone. It is googles launcher which is integrated with Google now. You can say OK Google on the homescreen and it interacts with Google now, but I mean our phones do that without even having to turn it on.
MOTO X Slapped
I have posted on the nexus 5 threads and have recommended a lot of people to get the moto x. The nexus 5 was a disappointment in my eyes and Motorola should have been the one to make the 5, not lame LG. I will not buy nexus of LG keeps making them.
BTW, I purchased the n5 on release date and returned it after 3 days because the battery was horrible.

Supposedly rumors is Motorola will make the new nexus 6 and it will come with the latest 4.5 or 5.0. But I mean there have been reports that the n5 has had so many bugs and Google is suppose to release another update. But its past all the incremental updates like Google usually releases. So it seems like the n5 was a bust a disappointment?

Nexus 5 had a bad camera. What's really funny is Google had a commercial where a couple run off to the woods in a moonlit night and take pictures in really dark light and the pictures turn out great. Anyone who has owned the N5 know that is not possible. The phone had or has a tagline of "capture moments in epic new ways" or something along those lines. Whatever man...

It's all about perspectives. The Nexus 5 to me was a bigger bang for your buck than any other phone out there. The camera by no means is absolutely crap nor is it the best one out there. What it is though is a good camera; specially when you consider the price tag. It also has many great things going for it like the form factor, the engine under the hood, the display...etc and not to mention the smoothest Android experience money can buy.
For me personally, it was one of my favourite devices matched only by the Butterfly S and now the Moto x.. again for me..

Snapchat lenses

Does the lenses feature work for any of you guys? I know it works on Moto X 2014.
I wanted some confirmation because I have seen some people saying it works on Moto X Play, but I can't make it work at all.
It worked, but after some update... not anymore.

You need touch and hold for a little while, not just tap.

Ghost Touch while charging

Moto G4 XT1622 16gb using normal charger, no turbo charger.
The ghost touch starts when using the phone while charging and even continues after the charger is disconnected, to stop it I have to turn the screen off and on again.
There is a oficial solution for this?
Is this 100% a hardware issue or it can be solved with a Moto update in the near future?
Cheers.

Same here xt1622 ghost touches more like the screen goes nuts weird unfortunately it happens on cm13 too
I also have this issue. Seems like the screen is being tapped in the bottom right of the screen (recent apps button)
xt1625 model
xt1625 here, and i get the same thing. no issues with ghost touching at all when its not charging. ghost touches fairly regularly when charging. luckily, its not an issue for me to leave it alone while charging. but yeah, it would be nice if they were able to fix that issue.
XT1622 here, Mine has been displaying the same ghost touch problem. It just bought me a camera while I was browsing the Ebay app, Buy It Now. Seller wasn't too amused but cancelled the order. Did tell him it was my phone and sent him a link to the Lenovo forum. Apparently it's a software problem and not a hardware one, Hard to believe! Thing is they won't tell anyone what the fix is, just telling people to take it to there nearest service centre.
Same hear screen goes nuts till remove charger if try use while plugged in only had phone few days was going to return as thought faulty but clearly it's software related hope it's fixed in N

Yes I remember having it on my Nx5 as well , for me not big issue if on charge I'm not using it doesn't seem so persistent on 7.0 as well couple times I've picked up and used while charging hasn't done it

I'm experiencing ghost touch on an almost daily basis now, mostly on battery power. I've never experienced it while charging. XT1625 model. I even contacted support and they kept telling me about software fixes (reset, change settings etc.) all of which to no avail. I'm convinved it's a hardware problem at this point and it's continually getting worse.
Of course when I spoke to them via live chat, they danced around the issue and finally gave me a number for the Spanish support line, (i don't even speak spanish) and left it at that. Gotta love support.
Something I've tried that is helpful for me is lowering the brightness.
Next time you have ghost touch problems try lowering the brightness and see what happens.
On my phone it makes the ghost touch go away completely but I can't speak for anyone else.
Not a permanent solution for sure but until one is found it beats having to reboot your phone.
Hi guys. I simply solved this problem using an app called "Touchscreen Repair", from the Play Store.
I tought it was useless, but incredibly it works!!!! I had ghost touch problems while charging with a quickcharger 3.0, I could not write a message! But now it seems to work well!
Hoping to help someone! Let me know if it's works for you!
