Install "Gravity Screen Lock" from the playstore--I've been using since I got my s5. I had the same problem as you before I installed it. Regards Bob

Replace step 5 with: Press and hold vol up, press power key. No step 9--reboot is automatic.

That was the first thing I tried--however I now have the problem solved, pretty much. Talked to a level2 tech at Motorola, and he told me that Kitkat was very particular about wifi security, and won't work with WEP encryption. My router's been set up with WEP for a very long time, however I...

Re: KitKat WiFi - issues My wifi acted the same as acedl for 5 days--very poor connectivity. Then yesterday it would no longer connect at all--I get connecting.....obtaining ip address......connecting.....etc., etc. All other wifi equipment in the house, (3 laptops and another razr m on...

Same wifi and battery problems, ditto no help with factory reset and cache wipe. Sound seems ok, and I don't use bluetooth, so I can't comment on that. Battery life is the real killer though. Over on the Motorola forum, the expert stated that battery life will be worse but the phone is...

If I am to believe the wifi indicator, according to it, my wifi is 1-2 bars poorer than it was. I'm talking about at home, where I've always been very aware of the signal strength vs. location in the house. So, either the meter is wrong, or it really is poorer. An even bigger deal to me is the...

The instructions in that link no longer work for me. After I got into the recovery (droid on it's back), I had to hold volume up, then tap power to get the (hard to see) menu. Once you hit the power button at wipe cache, it goes really fast, and reboots giving no indication that it's done...

Same thing happened with the app I use for backup--Super Backup. It changed the path to some circuitous mess that when edited back to storage/sdcard1/.... it worked fine. This is only one of the irritations I've found with kitkat. I could live with that, but I can't live with the degraded...

Might want to check if location reporting is enabled. That will eat battery fast! Bob

Everything in contacts is backed up--but like I said, the contact backup is redundant if you've got a gmail account.

I use Super Backup (free). It allows saving all your backups--apps, sms, call log, contacts to the sd card. In my case it made for a really quick restore when I had to have my phone replaced. Just swap sd card into new phone, and start restoring! Contacts backup is redundant if you have a...

Nick, Had the same problem when I tried that smart action, right dow to power cycling to re-establish the faster speed. I have not been impressed with "smart actions". Bob

I use "Droid Light"--makes it easy and you won't forget! Regards Bob

Google+ disabled on my RazrM--Verizon. FWIW Bob

Some cables are only usable for charging and NOT data transfer. I suppose the manufacturers save a few pennies this way. I have one of these, and it looks like any other micro usb to usb, but it only works to charge the phone. Be sure you are using a cable that is capable of data transfer...
