[Nook HD, HD+ General] madsquabbles:
every hd+ i've looked at has the uneven lighting. i'd suspect that all have it since it looks like the light source is only on one side, unless newer ones have lighting on multiple edges like most larger tablets.

i'm usually using mine from 0-15% and don't notice it as bad when i go brighter except when on light colored backgrounds.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] View92612:
I tried both high and low brightness settings but could not see any issue. I also launched a game (dungeon hunter 4) and the display brightness is very on par with what I saw on nexus 7.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Jd6J0r:
I don't see this on mine (shipped last week from BN.com).
[Nook HD, HD+ General] fntms:
I have the right side dimming (not as pronounced as the pic on the first post) on mine, shipped last week from Foyles uk (they ship to EU countries).

A bit disappointing...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrun:
Hey guys,

My work switched to Google Apps for their email so i wanted to test it out on my phone. Doing so required them to encrypt my phone. What this appears to have done is encrypt the data partition. So now when i go into (TWRP) recovery and try to do a backup / wipe / or anything else, it says it is "Unable to mount /sdcard" I'm unable to do a factory reset of any kind so i'm essentially stuck on this rom (ARHD) until i can figure out how to wipe data and get the /sdcard to be not encrypted. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm imagining that with the modified recovery not being able to access the data partition that i'm going to have to do some adb type stuff?

Please help! I want to keep flashing new roms! :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrun:
Anyone??
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guich:
I think you can't decrypt your data partition...

Did you try to wipe your data partition with the latest TWRP?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrun:
That's the thing, the recovery can't mount /sdcard so wiping isn't an option from recovery :(
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
Hi! Only TWRP recovery can solve your issue just do this...

Boot to TWRP recovery->Wipe

From there there are 2 options the left is the advance wipe and on the right is Format Data

Just select the format data button and it should reformat the whole data partition.

1st one would prompt so many errors and reformat then reformat it again 1 time and it should fully reformat your phone.

In theory it should reformat data partition even when encrypted but just in case it fails and I won't be able to go back to this thread just boot in bootloader and type

"fastboot erase userdata"
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sevenalive:
Well none of that works. TWRP doesn't support decryption yet for this device.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
What I instructed basically doesn't decrypt the partition. It reformats it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sevenalive:
I know what you instructed, it doesn't work. Only way I got it to work. Flash the stock recovery. Boot into system. Take off the encryption, phone reboots and removes the encryption, data is formatted. Then flash TWRP again.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_minds_eye:
I basically ran into this exact problem. I was hoping that I'd still be able to back up the encrypted device, but forget about it. What a pain in the ass.

Someone should make add something to the guides about how encrypting your device makes nandroid backups impossible.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahemcough:
It seems like the vibration motor on my HTC One is loose, as whenever it vibrates there's a slight rattling sound. I've also noticed that I can hear this sound whenever i tap the screen, or back of the phone, anywhere near the top, which is where I'm guessing the motor is found. This is gradually getting more and more annoying so I'm wondering if I should send it off to get fixed, so has anyone else experienced this problem?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-Man2005:
its the same for me with two htc one´s
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henrybravo:
I've noticed the same thing as well.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timacaro:
Yes well I have noticed it too, but as I have noticed this sound before with other smartphones. I think it has something to do with the camera components. Although it wasnt caused by the motor when I heard that. This motor vibration setting is way to strong. HTC should reduce the strenght when its activated in a next update or so, at least I hope they will.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compact_bijou:
it's the image stabilisation components for the camera.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-Man2005:
its not
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compact_bijou:
It is.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdh10475:
Same here I turned of the haptic-feedback which I cant stand and I don't really notice it any more.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tryfound:
My dad's One has this issue, it sounds like the vibration motor is causing something glass to move and instead of hearing a smooth motorised vibration it sounds more like glass vibrating. It's really annoying when typing in a quiet location, it sounds like a crappy keyboard typing sound

My One isn't doing this, it feels and sounds normal.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hussainally:
I have same issue.anyone found a solution or Is this a norm for most out there?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hussainally:
Anyone please?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbrownstoned:
Got my one today, just noticed the rattling, seems it is very very common! Personally I can't stand it, can I learn to live with it?! Or send it back in hope for a rattle free replacement?

Htc could have a very large warranty issue in the coming months!

But by large the rattle seems to be in most.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RPelham:
I am not seeing this in ny one. But I am getting worried with all these reports... HTC should have spent a little more time QCing their flagship product....

They will definately have warranty issues in the next couple of months. Tons of reports on dead pixels, blown speakers, gaps in physical build, horizontal lines on LCD and now this....

As much as I love this phone I am very much considering returning it... I'd hate to have something go wrong and be without a phone for a little while, while it's being repaired....
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocketpaul:
any have a solution to this?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Montago:
just want to join the crowd...

My HTC One is also rattling .. it began doing so yesterday, 7 days after i got it :(

I can't decide weather i should simply disable haptic feedback -- the motor is too strong at the moment, which i hope they fix with firmware/updates

btw. the phone also have slight gaps in top and buttom, but i dont really considder them being a problem...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adz63:
turn vibration off ;)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xnoctis93:
I'm having this problem too. I just turned down haptic feedback intensity for swift key and everything is fine now. I don't know if I should bother exchanging for another HTC one since many people seem to be having this problem..
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cycling76er:
Same issue here. I upgraded to the HTC One and was impressed by how solid that vibrator was. Dropped it in a toilet and toasted it. Got another and it had this problem. You could shake the phone and hear something faint. Replaced that one and same thing. It's my only hardware gripe with the phone as I enjoy having haptic feedback. It's probably a hardware issue.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xnoctis93:
2 of my friends with htc one's have the same issue. don't think it's worth exchanging..just wait for an update that will reduce vibration intensity for now. other than that...LOVE the phone
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anotherone10:
Im on my second HTC One and both had that rattly sound to the haptic feedback, which is annoying. Weird thing is that you can hear it if you shake the phone.
[Networking] cchris:
Hi,

I am writing this with post with my XDAII connected with my laptop through IrDA (which I managed to get with this forum help... THANKS!)

But when it connects and when I look at the connection status I see 9.6 Kbps as speed, even if I had set 115200 in the modem set up...

Is this normal? Is this the actual speed?

If not... how do I get it to be quicker?

Do I get better/worst performance through USB or is it the same thing?

Thanks!

Chris

What about to go in site's that verify your current bandwith?

Also download a file and see what is the DL speed..

How to root May 7th OTA [ Version M919UVUAMDL ]:

You can grab Kies for its drivers here.

Put this on your sdcard before anything, doesn't matter which.

k0nane's thread on How to use Odin (3.07). Read this thread for further help, your question is most likely answered already.

Install CWM, TWRP, or OUDHS Custom Recovery through Download mode. [Follow instructions in thread on how to flash them, I recommend OUDHS as that's what I used.]

Extra words from k0nane for successfully flashing a Custom Recovery in Odin 3.07 for the MDL firmware:

Boot into the Custom Recovery of your choice. [Power + Volume Up keys when phone is completely turned off and unplugged.]

Flash ROOT_M919UVUAMDL.zip [Contains the older boot.img with new modules, root, and will stop the annoying "Modified: Reboot Now or Later?" notification from happening.]

Reboot and enjoy your rooted device on the M919UVUAMDL firmware.

You can flash back to the May 7th OTA boot.img using the entire firmware, or you can flash it in a zip.

***Update - You can now flash a source-compiled TouchWiz kernel that may better fit your needs here. It is compiled off of the MDL defconfig instead of MDB, but using MDB source.

Thanks to Dev ptmr3 for the original boot.img flasher for Custom Recovery.

Thanks to Dev k0nane for assistance through OUDHS IRC and providing some tech-support to forum readers, as well as the great Odin guide.

Thanks to Gadianton for finding information on stopping the Modified notification.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hoggles:
Thanks for the tutorial and links. Very much appreciated!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] fbueller:
I can't get custom recovery to take on the OTA. I updated to the new OTA, rebooted into download mode, ran ODIN with your files, rebooted, then went into recovery mode. It still brings up Android Recovery, not CWM. Help!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mattlgroff:
Try OUDHS Recovery and let me know. Also these are not "my" files ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] style154:
i tried using both twrp and oudhs and both give me the same error :/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tonyph33r:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] fbueller:
Fair enuff, "their" files aren't working :)

I don't know how to install an .img file from the CWM page, so I'm a little dead in the H20 until the ODIN method works. Unless you have a link for how to install the .img, I've Googled and can't find a reliable tutorial.

Thanks for all the help, btw.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] style154:
still didnt work :/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] wavrunrx:
i cant get this to work either. :crying:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mattlgroff:
Please share screenshot(s) of how you installed using Odin so I can clarify issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] style154:
Thinking the update included the root blocking kernel... :/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] fbueller:
Here you go, before and after hitting start. Note that my phone is in download mode during this process. ODIN is run as administrator, and gives pass/success after reboot. I've done this in 3.07 and 1.85 with the same result.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pkl787:
I had the same problem as everyone else did at first with the recovery installs not sticking. I read in a different thread somewhere (can't seem to find it at the moment) that installing Samsung Kies would also install the correct drivers which would fix this problem and it worked for me, maybe it'll work for you guys.

Just install that, then follow the instructions again. I tried it with OUDHS and it worked after that.

EDIT: Won't let me post links since I just registered, but basically just google Samsung Kies and it'll be the first one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] k0nane:
;)

Any of the three available recoveries should work just fine.

My Odin shows ID as 005 when in Download Mode and 004 when in just plain old ADB access. Driver issue?

EDIT: Mine is 2.9.104.921 from 9/21/2011
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] fbueller:
Do you have a link to the newest drivers?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pkl787:
6.1.7600.16385 says the date is from 6/21/2006. Not sure why it says that date, but it worked after the drivers from Samsung Kies were installed, anyway.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mattlgroff:
A quick Google shows Kies here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pkl787:
Wouldn't let me post the link earlier, thanks. I'm curious to see if it'll work for the other people who were having problems.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] 92drls:
Wow no kidding, you and me both, I'll laugh at you, you laugh at me lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] djgromit:
Actually, you can leave 'Auto Reboot' checked, and when it reboots, just press up on the volume rocker until you get the blue recovery loading text, and it should go straight into your flashed recovery. I think it doesn't stick if you let the phone boot normally first.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] vedhed21:
You guys are awesome!

After Odin back to stock and achieving root Wi-Fi was broken. Tried to flash .zip from front page, but TWRP wasn't finding it. Excited to flash .zip with Goo manager. Browsed to it, created backup and cleared checked clear cache... it ran the backup, flashed.zip and everything works. Even started accepting my 64g sd card which wouldn't mount after root. Now, do I flash again to the new post OTA?

Hey, 2 questions.

1. Is my s 4 t-mobile branded when i see the t-mobile logo during the boot, or does it also need to have the t-mobile logo on the back of the phone?

2. If it is indeed a t-mobile branded phone

After i install the CWM and Root on the phone,

Can i then flash roms from the non-branded galaxy s 4 forum section?

Or still only from this t-mobile forum section?

** Edit

nvm, i fixed the wifi issue by installing the other kernal in the first post..

missed that.

Thank you for the guide. Followed the steps to a T and now my phone is rooted!

Things I noted that I needed to do was to make sure that:

1) DO NOT check the "Auto Reboot" flag in Odin. Pull the battery after the Recovery piece has been sent to the phone. This was my first mistake.

2) If you're using CWM, and you start getting the "Signature Exception" error when trying to update, you can disable the checking via one of the menu items.

3) Don't forget to flash the kernel supplied in the OP's instructions.

Now to go play with other ROM's... Once again OP.. Thank you!!

5. Download the twrp 2.5.0.2 tar from their website to the PC(only different step from OP).

6. Put the phone into download mode (from power off, hold vol Down + power, then UP to confirm)

7. Run Odin, Uncheck auto-reboot, from PDA selet the twrp tar and hit start.

8. Once it finished it should say 1 success/0 fail.

9. Pull the battery and the cord

10. Replace the battery, Hold Vol UP+ Power and boot into recovery.

11. Install the Root patch (ROOT_M919UVUAMDL.zip).
