Fix Moto G too slow after installing Lollipop Update

Fix Moto G too slow after installing Lollipop Update

Motorolas popular Android devices, the Moto G 1st Generation and Moto G 2nd Generation have already received the latest Android 5 Lollipop upgrade. Despite their budget prices, these devices smoothly ran Android 4.4 KitKat and theyre equally capable of running the polished and featured packed Android Lollipop OS. However, after the recent upgrade, many users are finding that their Moto G is getting too slow- causing random crashes, freezes and lagging while playing Videos or swapping between apps. This is not a hardware issue because if Galaxy S2 can smoothly run Lollipop, the Moto G second generation or first generation should have no problem with it. So how do you fix a slow or lagging Moto G after the lollipop Update? There are a couple of solutions you can try.

Method 1: How to wipe cache partition of Moto G

This is a more convenient method than method 2 below. Clearing cache partition is recommended for people who flash ROMS or regularly update their Android devices. To wipe cache partition on your Moto G follow these stpes

1. Turn off your device
2. Press Volume Down key for 2-3 seconds and then without letting go, press the power key. Now Release.
3. Now you will see different Boot options
4. Use Volume Down key to scroll to"Recovery" and press Volume Up to select it
5. Now you will see Motorola Logo followed by Android in distress logo with exclamation mark
6. Press and hold Power button for 2 seconds or so and then press Volume Up key
7. Once you enter recovery mode, select "Wipe Cache Partition" (Use volume keys to navigate and power key to select)
8. Select "Okay"
9. Once the process is completed, go back and select "reboot system now"

Note: This same method can be used to wipe cache partition of Moto G second generation and Moto X. If your phone still lags or freezes, repeat method 1 a couple of times. 

Method 2: Factory Reset

This is a simple method but it will wipe your phones apps and data  If youre willing to do a factory reset then first do a backup of your devices data. Sync your App data, contacts, calendars etc to your Google account if its not already synced. To sync go to Settings >> Accounts >> Select "Google" and then Select your Gmail account and start syncing everything. Check your downloads folder and backup everything there. You can also move your pictures, videos and music files to another location temporarily. Once, youre all set go to Settings >> Backup & reset >> Select "Factory data reset" >> Select "Okay". Now your phone will reboot and it should be back to its snappy self. 

I hope by applying one of the above methods, youve solved the Moto G, Moto G 2nd Generation and Moto X lagging issue after Lollipop update. If you have any other fix or tips to resolve this issue please mention them in the comments.

Many Android 5.0 Lollipop users are reporting error 905 in Google Play Store while installing or updating apps/games. Heres the error message: "app" could not be downloaded due to an error (905). I am not exactly sure what this error code means but it may be caused by poor memory management or memory leak on a buggy OS. I got the Google Play error 905 while downloading an app on my phone that had recently received Android 6.0 update. The download bar would show progress but it would stop downloading right at the end and then this error message would pop up. Sometimes the error would appear right after tapping the "install" button in Google Play Store.  

Android users are getting this error mostly while downloading large apps or games like Microsoft Power Point, Microsoft Word, Excel, Asphalt 8, Monument valley, Hearthstone Heroes of Warcraft, Mortal Kombat X etc.  After some research, I’ve found some quick methods to fix error 905 in Google Play Store. These fixes should also work for  devices running Android 4.3 JellyBean Android 4.4 KitKat, Android 5 Lollipop or  Android 6 Marshmallow.

2. Open Google Play Store >> Download your app that was causing error 905
3. Do not go back or close Google Play Store until the download and installation is completed.

Method 2: Close background apps

1. Sign out of apps that run in the background
2. Go to Settings >> Apps >> Running >> Check apps that are taking too much MB or memory >> Stop or sign out of these apps
3. Open Google Play Store and try to install/update app 

 If the above methods didn’t work, try the one below

Method 3: Uninstalling updates for Google Play Store

1. Go to Settings >> Apps >> All Scroll down till you find “Google Play Store” 
2. Select “Uninstall updates” Open Google Play Store >> Install or update the app 
3.  Note: Your Google play Store will automatically update later but you will no longer get the 905 error.

Common devices experiencing this error include Nexus 7, Nexus 5, Galaxy S4, S5, S6, HTC One, Xperia Z2 etc. If you’ve managed to solve  Google Play error code 905 through other alternative methods, let us know about it in the comments.

How to fix screen completely dark on Android Lollipop after setting brightness to zero

How to fix screen completely dark on Android Lollipop after setting brightness to zero

First of all don’t freak out because the screen going completely black is a Lollipop bug, meaning it’s just a software glitch and not a serious hardware flaw. So what this bug does is it turns your display completely blank when you set the brightness to its minimum value using the brightness slider in the quick access menu. This mostly occurs only if you have your adaptive brightness enabled on the display settings. Your Android phone or tablet is not screwed it’s just that it’s stuck in 0 brightness setting. This bug has probably been addressed in the latest Lollipop version so you may not get this error if you have the latest Lollipop 5.1.1 version. But if you’ve just experienced this problem try the below methods to turn your display back on- to fix completely dark screen on Android Lollipop after setting the brightness to zero or minimum :

Method 1: Sliding the brightness level back to full while display is still dark

This method is a guessing game. You won’t see anything on your screen but your screen will still be on so you’ll be able to access the quick settings my swiping down. After which you will have to guess the location of the brightness slider and then start tapping from middle of the screen to the right. If you get it wrong at first, press the sleep button and again turn your screen on and repeat the steps until you get it right. I managed to get the brightness back on in first try.

1. If you think your screen has gone to sleep. Press the power button.
2. Swipe down (this will open the quick settings along with the brightness slider but you won’t see it yet) 
3.  Count three rows down from the top of your screen using your finger tip and slide your finger to the middle of the screen and start tapping to the right. When your finger tip catches the brightness slider, you will get your screen back. The slider is at the middle about 30% below the top of your screen. 
4. Now Go to Settings >> Display >> Disable “Adaptive brightness” 

Method 2: Use ADB for resetting brightness

This method uses the ADB tool of Android SDK to set the brightness level for your tablet or
smartphone. For this you will need to download and install or extract the Android SDK Tools for your Windows PC or Mac. Inside the Android SDK tools folder you will find Platform Tools folder where your will have the ADB

Things you will need to do first:

• Download and install Android SDK Tools where you will find the ADB tool inside Platform folder Make sure USB debugging is turned on by going to Settings >> Developer options >> Enable “USB debugging” 
• Make sure that your Android device’s USB drivers is installed on your PC or Mac 
• Simply connect your Android device (USB debugging enabled) to your PC/Mac and it should download the USB drivers automatically from the internet. Or, you can manually download it from your device manufacturer’s website
• If you can’t find developer’s options, go to Settings >>About Tablet/Phone >> Continuously tap on the Build number till you get a notification saying developer options have been enabled. 

Here are the steps to set the brightness using the ADB tool

1. Connect your USB debugging enabled device to your PC/Mac
2. Start command line (On windows, press start key and then type “cmd” ) 
3. Inside cmd window, enter the location(directory) where adb.exe is placed a. In Windows cmd, you can enter a folder by typing CD followed by the folder name 
4. Now run this command to set the new brightness level-  adb shell settings put system screen_brightness 200 
5. Your brightness level should now be set to maximum and your screen should be visible 
6. Now Go to Settings >> Display >> Disable “Adaptive brightness”.

 I hope the above methods helped you get back your totally blank (dark) screen in Android Lollipop. Do not turn on the adaptive brightness unless you’ve received the latest Android Lollipop update.

How to fix Nexus 7 slow after Lollipop Update

How to fix Nexus 7 slow after Lollipop Update

The Nexus 7 2012 powered by Tegra 3 Processor and 1GB of RAM handled Android KitKat 4.4.4 perfectly. It ran smooth as butter. The hardware seemed adequate for the upcoming update. However after installing Lollipop 5 system update, many Nexus 7 tablets have become very slow. Switching between apps as well as navigating the Android menu is laggy. When you press the onscreen keys like back, home and menu, the response is very slow. Many times apps force close and the device itself freezes, and you have to hold the power button to turn it off. It gets extra slow when you are browsing the web.




This Nexus 7 freezing, stuttering and running slow issue is also common among users who manually flashed the Lollipop update instead of using OTA. Anyways, the solution is a simple one and most Custom ROM users are familiar with it. All you have to do is access the recovery menu and then clear the cache partition of the Nexus 7. Here is how you can fix Nexus 7 getting slow after Lollipop update:

 How to wipe cache partition in Nexus 7 

• First turn off your tablet 
• Press & hold the power button and volume down key at the same time. 
• You will see a m arrow at the top 
• Now tap the Volume down until you select “Recovery” 
• Press power button to enter “Recovery” 
• Now you will see the android distress logo (greet bot, red triangle ,!) 
• At this point, press volume down to select “wipe cache partition” and the press the power button
• Let the process complete 
• Now go back and select “reboot system now” 

Method 2: Temporary fix 

This quick fix seems to have temporarily solved the lagging issues on Nexus 7 running the initial version of Lollipop.

• Swipe down from the top of the screen to access the quick settings 
• From there tap on the “Location” icon to turn it off 

Now your device will run faster than before

I hope the above tricks fixed your very slow Nexus 7 2012 tablet. If you have any other solution for this issue please mention them in the comments.

Blackview BV5000 Review

The camera processing speed has around 1 second which is forgivable for the said SoC. It has customized icons but most of the UI inside are almost stock Android Lollipop. The weight is almost the same as Zenfone Max. Im happy that it has LTE option in connectivity. My only concern is Blackview PH supplied a slower charger compared to their official website which has 2 ampered and promised to fully charge the device for 3.5 hours. They said that they will check my discovery about the charger.
