I have an htc one m8 (test version). its not getting any updates its on android version 4.4.3. Can i install ota updates manually?
[General Questions and Answers] Admirator:
Hi everyone,

My situation:

I got a new phone and wanted to migrate my Whatsapp History over. Thought I did it right and already deleted Whatsapp off my old phone, but ****ed up with the migration.

I did do the Whatsapp Google Drive Backup just before I deleted Whatsapp off the old phone, plus I downloaded the latest msgstore.db.crypt8 backup file from the Whatsapp Backup folder.

Problem:

My Whatsapp was registered under my old phone number thats long been disconnected. Now when I reinstall Whatsapp on my phone, I cannot get into my old account, because for that I need to receive Whatsapps 6-digit confirmation code on that old phone number, which obviously I can't.

If I create an account with my new number, Whatsapp does recognize the Google Drive Backup that I did earlier in the day (2GB), but fails to restore that, probably because I'm not logged in with the same phone number that the backup was originally created with.

I have about 4+ Years of messages that are very important to me - is there any way to fix this?

Thanks for any suggestions!!
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If there are no updates available for your model then no you won't be able to OTA update.

Or are you saying that there are OTA updates available but its not letting use the OTA method to update? If you're rooted then you won't be able to do an OTA update. You have to unroot, have stock recovery and revert back to having an unmodified system partition.

Is there any way I can backup my entire phone to 2 days ago? Because then I would still have whatsapp with my old account on installed
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You might can manually pull the backup from Google drive and modify the database to work with your stock messenger. There's a thread here that someone did the same thing with their Textra messages. They converted them to xml and they worked in stock messenger.

That's what I thought too, myself and a Mod both told them they were probably wasting their time but supposedly they figured it out, they never posted how exactly they did it though.

Tilting phone horizontal to vertical position, reverses polarity!!!

Hi i need your guidance. When my phone tilt from horizontal to vertical position, polarity of compass (tested in all apps), reverses and shows South instead of North etc. When it goes back to flat position compass and navigation apps function properly.! The problem is not affected from the position of the screen (landscape or portrait). Please help (i have read all similar threads without luck).

phone CUBOT X11

Kernel 3.4.67

Thank you
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
No, not a heated conversation, it was just that with as long as I've been around here and all the issues and mods I've encountered along with a Moderator with more experience and knowledge than I myself, we were both sure that it couldn't be done because even the developer that created Textra said it couldn't be done and that he had built it that way on purpose but when we tried telling them it couldn't be done they persistently objected, I mean, you don't go to the Hospital and tell the Doctor AND the Nurse that they don't know what they're talking about. Had it have not been for the Textra developer himself saying it couldn't be done then I wouldn't have made such an issue of it because the developer should know his own work and what is possible and what isn't with what he created. If they actually successfully converted the database then I guess the dev was wrong, but as you said, they still haven't posted how they did it, maybe they didn't and just said they did.

Hi, I have downloaded freedom unlimited in-app purchases from many different websites and it doesn't work on my nexus 5 running stock 6.0.1 MMB29Q, and yes it has root access
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you're talking about using something to get things free when they are supposed to be paid for then no, we aren't going to help you with that, if it is supposed to be purchased then pay for it.

Is there anything else you need help with? If so we'll be glad to help you with that but not with the issue you posted.

How can you expect the compass to show which way is truly north/south with the screen tilted up to where it can't point the way it needs to indicate north/south?

If you have an issue of question, just post it and tell us what device you are have.
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
I don't think he will, because I don't believe him.

You could be mistaken, I don't know.

All I saw was a post asking "Does anyone here own an LG device?" I've owned a couple, but don't now. I didn't see your earlier post.

So, you are asking out of curiosity? No issues? Looking for a chat partner, or looking to chat here?

Don't.

The thread is [HELP THREAD] Ask ANY Question. Noob Friendly. Not "is there anyone here who owns the same brand I do? I'm asking out of curiosity. I do not have any issues with my phone."

Sorry if I am coming across as offensive, but this thread is to help N00bs with rooting/modding/flashing problems.

I know it says "ask ANY question", but it also says [HELP THREAD]. You won't get any help by knowing how many noobs have LG phones.

Tilting phone horizontal to vertical position, reverses polarity!!!

How can you expect the compass to show which way is truly north/south with the screen tilted up to where it can't point the way it needs to indicate north/south?

I see your point! Well there are 3d compasses that give direction when tilted but in my case that doesn't work as i said. The biggest problem is with navigator apps where all of them show that north is in opposite direction (etc for east, west) and it is a bit irritating. As you can understand for navigating i have to use phone in upright position.

Two questions related to my first XDA participation:

1. I asked a question in the area '...[Newbie Friendly]'. I've got a couple of replies already, but I find it difficult to return to it using Search: it only returns links to individual replies, not the 'original thread'. Am I missing something?

2. I consider one of the replies 'low quality'. Is there a way to flag it accordingly?

Thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] xenreon:
1. Open your profile and see the threads started by you, you can view that from there

2. No !! Just ignore and/or put the user in your ignore list, or if you're offended heavily or it involved flaming/name calling/abusing and all that then use the triangle shaped button which has a "!" In middle to report the reply

[General Questions and Answers] doomkrad:
1. The only way I can see is subscribing to 'my' threads in My Profile area, BUT I fear that in large threads that would make it difficult to find my own posts.

2. I wasn't abused in any way. I was rather hoping low-quality replies can be dealt with in a specific way (as I've encountered in forums in the past). I will however consider one of the methods you suggested.

Thanks again.

Afternoon Matey, if your stock rom is vanilla android or as close to aosp as possible, yes gravitybox would work. While your using Miui, I could not confirm, as they mod their roms considerably.

But same thing happened again. Device stucked at bootlogo.

NOW TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG I DID ?

AND ONE MORE THING , WHY THIS SUPER SU REQUEST IS COMING AT LAST WHENEVER I SELECTING REBOOT DEVICE.
