[q] motorola connect - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone been able to get Motorola Connect to connect to their computer after updating to Lollipop? Mine doesn't do anything.
I've had to install Mightytext again to text from my computer and I don't want to have to have another app installed when a feature of the phone is supposed to do it. (and Moto Connect is simply better)

I haven't even updated, and my connect just stopped working.
It will occasionally login, but it can take ten minutes to sync texts or calls.
I've received popups about a incoming call, that I received at work, while logging in at home.
Guess they're having problems..

[Q] Verizon Android 4.4 Update- Hangouts Working Moto Connect?

Has anyone gotten Hangouts to work with Moto connect after the new update?
I switched hangouts to my default SMS app, but whenever I receive a text on my phone I don't get a notification via moto connect.
If I refresh connect, then it will show the message.
Has anyone gotten notifications to work correctly?
people say log back out of moto connect and back in. i imagine on both your phone and computer. i have no experience with this issue though, just telling you what i've been told.

I have tried that 3 different times and no dice. You can send messages from connect and they will send out, and if you refresh it manually will load texts sent to you. But actual notifications that you got an SMS do not show up.
Thank you though.

MightyText app questions, how is this working?

Maybe more of a hardware question than an app question, but it happens with this particular app. I needed a texting app for my stock K1 running LP 5.1.1
I decided upon MightyText as I didn't want another phone number as some of the other apps provide. MightyText syncs my phone and the K1 within seconds. If I get a text to the phone, I get a notification on the tab within a second or two. Same happens if I send a text from the tablet, I get a notification on the phone again within a second or two. I realize that the phone is using it's cellular radio to send the text. Phone is a rooted LG Optimus G Pro running KK.
Here's where it gets strange! If I turn off WiFi and BT on the phone, when I write a text on the tablet and hit send, my phone receives and sends the text. WiFi and BT are still off. I looked to see if the app was somehow turning the radios on, on the phone, but it looks like they are staying off (unless they are coming on for a fraction of a second). I'm trying to figure out how the tablet is communicating with the phone if the radios are turned off. Also, the app has a phone icon. if I hit the phone icon on the tablet app, the phone makes a call to whoever I happened to be texting. I cannot talk through the tablet (I don't think), but the call does go through. I'm unsure what the functionality of this item is...why would I want the tablet to initiate a phone call when I cannot talk through the tablet?
Phone radio you mean phone, internet (3G/4G) here?
Mighty text working through network/internet. I will take simple explanation like this. SMS -> your phone -> SMS send to mighty text service -> mighty text service passes it to your table. Similar your tablet sends the text -> text go to mighty text service -> Mightytext service passes it to your device AND to the receiver on your behalf.
MightyText function like a bridge to connect your phone and other device and running through the internet.
Once your device connects with MightyText service, MightyText will become a behalf assistant to receiving and send your message.
Thats mean your sensitive information will be readable by a 3rd person (or group person who know?)

Having issues calls on watch via phone

Hi,
I am getting annoyed with my Watch now as it doesn't seem to behave consistently.
Making a call via my phone using the watch:
I used to be able to say 'call <persons name>' to the watch and it would initiate the call on the Phone. No I just get a 'calling xyz' display/timer, that then does nothing.
Many Thanks,
Paul
Bloody annoying.
Sometimes it will ask me for an option where to call from.. Phone or watch.
I usually keep cellular off.
Text via google assistant does not work unless it's via phone sim. Stupid implementation. Hope they fix this.

Cannot use Google Unless connected to Wifi or phone connected to Wifi

Let me start by saying that this started around the 3rd of the month. I've looked everywhere and every possible solution I have found does not work.
I have the ATT version of the LG Watch Sport and I am using it on T-Mobile with a Digits SIM. However, I mostly just use it through bluetooth on my phone and not directly on 4g.
I have NEVER had a problem before where my phone is connected to 4G and connected to my watch through bluetooth, with using Google Assistant to text someone or make a call. Recently however, trying to get Google Assistant to register or even work unless my phone or watch is connected to internet is impossible.
I have reset the watch and started over. I have tried resetting phone and watch. I have tried updating all apps and I have tried rolling back some apps., but I have not found a solution. I get notifications from texts and email but cannot respond via watch or use google to send texts, etc.
Is anyone else having this problem or found a solution for this?

Connection and voice mail issues

Hi everyone. I am having issues since day one with my Samsung S10. I am a T-mobile user if that matters. My first problem, I currently have a desktop with Windows 10 Pro and the latest build. However, since I got the phone, whenever I connect the phone to the computer via USB, it does not stay connected for more than a min. It will keep on disconnecting and automatically connecting. Many instances it will do it over and over, dozens of times until it finally connects but it wont last for more than 2 mins and start all over. A very frustrating issue because it makes file transfer nearly impossible.
I have so far unistalled all drivers, used 4 different cables to include original and problem still persists.
My second issue is with voice messages. Whenever I received a voice message, instead of going to my visual voice message app, it will show with the green phone icon in my notification, forcing me to call my voice mail. Rarely do new voice messages go to my visual voice mail app, they do, but rare. My wife also has a S10 and she has the same problem with the voice mail.
hopefully someone has some help to provide me.
Thanks in advance.

I will start from the second issue (the voicemail). I see that too and I am with T-Mobile as well. I do have VVM app installed, but see the normal voice mail icon in the notification bar as well as VVM icon. I don't really like double notification, but I am thinking it is possible to disable the phone app's notification for only the voice mail. Haven't tried it though...
As far as phone getting disconnected...I have seen this, but not with my S10e. I have another android device and it did happen to it, couple of times. When device was off, that is when I mainly seen disconnect/reconnect thing.
1) Do you have Samsung Switch app installed on your Win 10 PC? If you do, then try uninstalling it. If you don't have it, install it. Could be driver conflict too
2) Try different USB ports on your PC
3) See if you have USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports(try them all)
4) When you connect your phone to the PC, pull down notification shade on your phone and see if you can choose different USB options, that might help too
