    Why did my battery indicator jump to 100% as soon as I plugged in the phone?

    Moto X 2014 Lollipop 5.1 So, I went to plug in my phone before bed just now, and the instant I plugged in the charger, the battery indicator instantly jumped from about 20% to precisely 100%. I unplugged and restarted the phone, hoping for the battery meter to reset, but no dice. It showed...

    Google App--controlling or disabling

    Hi all, I am trying to figure out a way to control (or, as a last resort, safely disable) the Google app. There are plenty of apps to control content, limit time, block specific websites, etc. for the Chrome browser app, but there does not seem to be ANYTHING for the Google app in this vein...

    Moto X bricked? Can't enter recovery mode.

    @Damien B Thanks for the tip. I didn't know you could manually boot to safe mode. Tried it, though, and it didn't work. I tried your instructions as well as this variant: Power Up in Safe Mode - Moto X | Verizon Wireless I'm not with Verizon, but figured it was worth a shot. Anyway, the...

    Moto X bricked? Can't enter recovery mode.

    Response from RW is that Motorola flashes the ROM during manufacture. It is not handled by RW at all. Called Motorola and they refused (3 different people) to honor the warranty even though it's only 4 weeks expired (not 2 as I originally thought). $125 fee to repair (plus tax and shipping)...

    Moto X bricked? Can't enter recovery mode.

    Another update...hopefully this will make more sense to someone else than it does to me. Posting this basically just to ask everyone out there if I'm in the right train of thought. Based on some forum scuttlebut from the interwebs, it seems that my inability to solve this problem on my own...

    Moto X bricked? Can't enter recovery mode.

    A brief update...I got a good look at the error...it lingered a bit for some reason on my most recent attempt: "E: can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log" "E: can't open /cache/recovery/last_log" A bit more came on another line after those two items, but it flashed up veeeery briefly. Might...

    Moto X bricked? Can't enter recovery mode.

    Update: I just registered for androidcentral...username mterrellg. Also, the error message reads, more accurately, "Err: can't mount /cache/recovery" I think there is more after that, but again, it flashes for only a second and is gone.
