[Sprint HTC One (M7)] dougxd:
I understand what you mean. Note that in all my rambling on about various cables and chargers, if I wasn't explicit, I was implicit in that I've tried HTC stock gear too. Same results, no matter.

I do own and did try a few Samsung chargers and cables in addition to the myriad of others. I'm aware of Samsung's irritating attempts to lock people into using their accessories, thus the signaling modifications, but wanted to try them anyway. That's why I used a whole bunch of different chargers and cables. Some are not-so-good and others are great. The one charger I prefer is from VENTEV. It's a dual-port 4.2amp (2.1/per) wallwart.

http://www.amazon.com/Ventev-Wall-Charger-Dual-2-1A/dp/B00BEJSRDI

What I'm saying overall is that the big picture here suggests that we can't pull more than the peak 600ma or so charge rate, no matter what combination of doo-dads you toss at the phone. I'm all in if HTC has some super-secret special vapor rub one can use to charge faster, but even the stock charger they give us in the box which supports 1AMP doesn't deliver that since the phone itself doesn't pull more than what I've seen.

In the attached pics, the one of the charger is the Ventev. The other three show my T-mobile ONE just hit 90% charge and the rate has dipped to about 400ma on average. I took three snaps to show that it does fluctuate a bit. It'll ramp down more at about 95% or so and even more at 99%...................ALL of which is to be expected, I know.

To be clear, at this point, and what you see in these pics, is the stock HTC wall charger that we all get in the box with the phone, the stock HTC microUSB cable, and the measuring tool that is plugged into charger which the cable is then plugged into to then charge the phone. The meter can handle just over 2amps before it pops the internal fuse.

I was directed here from another section of the forum. Have you tried using this?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.bmw

With the stock charger it's telling me that I'm pulling in just under 950mA during peak charging and tapering off as it gets full.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Magpir:
i used a samsung 0,7C charger and it charges at a conntat +800 mah

the HTC chargers also sometime speaks a 900mah + but typically aroung 200 - 700 mah +

it seesm t fluctuate more often than the samsung which fluctuates to a lwoer range when bnearing 100% charge.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Talal916:
Dude, I have the same problem with my EVO LTE, exactly as you describe it, but for some weird reason, my car charger charges my phone normally while other chargers will take several hours to fully charge. I really hope it's a problem with the chargers and not our phones :thumbup: :thumbdown:

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] prinzhernan:
Hi. So based on what people have posted, does this mean that there isn't much difference charging it from the wall socket and from a usb port in a computer? Since then charging rate is around 700-600mah and a usb charges at around 500mah

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] im_high_tech:
So I download that app, and no matter what I do with my settings, I cannot get my phone to charger faster than about 550mAh. I am currently running at 384MHz CPU, 200MHz GPU, and Force Charge (On/Off), and 50mV undervolt. With the phone just laying there (screen on 65% battery), as I stare it currently saying +529mA (+23.00% /h).

I just tried playing a game, with those same exact settings and it stated charging at +217mah.

Hi all

so yesterday i updated to latest 253 via pc companion, ofcorse lost the root, so i wait for a root

but now i see the status of bl unlock allowed changed to YES

it was NO before the update

anyone else have that ???
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Minotavrs:
how i could see bootloader status ?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abcdjdj:

Then go to service info---> configuration

---------- Post added at 09:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 PM ----------

I was on .434 and remember that my boot loader unlocking was allowed. Then I rooted it using DoomLord's tool and now mine has also become not allowed. Maybe during the rooting procedure some file has got changed..
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optiplex2012:
i tried rooting the 235 same method i did the previous and didnt work, after that the NFC stopped working so i recovered 253 with pc companion, now nfc ok and unlock is allowed
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abcdjdj:
There is a fix for NFC by just deleting one file.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optiplex2012:
yes i know, but cant use it since the 253 isnt rooted :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avelon:
Happened to me as well, so I backed up TA, unlocked and rooted 253.

To be honest, I can't really see a difference with/without Bravia engine. Anyway, if I ever want it back I'll just restore TA :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optiplex2012:
what u mean TA ?

how did u unlock the BL ? using sony's page ?

and if its unlocked how do u root ?

thx
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avelon:
TA is where DRM keys are stored (bravia engine etc). Had to go to Sony to get the unlock key yes.

"Backup: dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/sdcard/ta-backup.img"

"Restore: dd if=/sdcard/ta-backup.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 "

4. Copy ta-backup.img on the computer too (please check MD5, i never did this but it's important)

5. Flashtool: flash new ROM (i didn't turned on my phone after this but it doesn't matter)

6. Unlock BL with FlashTOOL

7. Flash AdvancedStockKernel (i've used the one provided in link even if it was for 434)

8. TurnOn the phone, press vol- until CWM will pop.

9. Flash SU.zip

10. Open FlashTool again, select the new rom but uncheck everything except KERNEL

11. On your phone you have the option to reboot system (CWM menu), do it and press V-

12. Flashtool will start flashing the kernel

13. Start the phone, open terminal and use restore ta in terminal:

dd if=/sdcard/ta-backup.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1

You will have the new room with root and BL locked again, BE&DRM intact.

Everything works as expected :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optiplex2012:
sounds a bit scary :P it wasnt so complicated on the galaxy note :P

i think i'll wait for an easier way to root, without unlocking the bl

dont need custom roms as sony releasing latest version anyway

but i DO need root for titanium backup
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Minotavrs:

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xelra:
Thank you so much for this valuable information.

Apparently rooting your Xperia Z with flashtool changes the bootloader status to unlockable.

Reflashing the firmware with the PC Companion application fixed that.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnycarter:
updated the firmware and unlock aloud status is still no. :(
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optiplex2012:

It is indeed scary as if MD5 sum mismatches or there was any errors while restoring or backing up TA, then the device would be hard bricked and recovery would be impossible. Then you'll be having an expensive paperweight in your hands buddy!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoey63:
Yeah that was easy, just flash a zip from stock recovery and it's done! A bit more complicated with the Z :o

I have a T-Mobile branded Z. Before the Update it was set to "No". I tried today to update over the Update Service App but didn't worked.

So I used the SUS and after that changed to " Yes ". DRM Key's still there.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnycarter:
were you previously rooted? are you network locked or have you unlocked through t-mobile?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dinkoz:
Telstra XZ, Rooted.

Using .434 with new 3.4 kernal and baseband. Status of bootloader now says yes, was previously a no.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnycarter:
tried to recreate this but alas mine still says no :(
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dinkoz:
If it helps Im using existenz black edition V1 (.434) with the global unbranded .253 flashed through flashtool , kernal, fota and baseband ONLY.

I flashed the entire .FTF through flashtool to see how .253 felt, then went back to .434, rerooted and CWM, and restored backup of existenz.

So could be a combination of any above

If anything, I would try flashing the global .253 .FTF and then flashing back to a global .434 .FTF, reroot etc and go from there
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnycarter:
So was your bootloader unlock status no before you rooted it for the first time?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dinkoz:
Sure was. Unlock Bootloader: No before definately, which is why I chose to flash existenz.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnycarter:
Great I hope this works, if not this phone is being replaced by the one.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dinkoz:
Give it a go and let me know, would be interesting if it didn't work, would mean I have done something else somewhere/somehow.

I have a feeling the Locked Bootloader may be more on Telstra's behalf, as now that I have flashed either the global .253 or back to global .434 FW with no Telstra bloatware it's now a yes to Bootloader Unlock.

Good luck :good:

** Currently using .434 with new 3.4 kernal, baseband and fota flashed via Flashtool - could be a third combo to try if it doesn't work for you.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
If you got your Phone from a Provider then chances are they did indeed have the BL locked, changing the status to yes has no real significance unless it then allows you to unlock the BL.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dinkoz:
You could be right it may still not be unlocked, just posting my results that service tool gave me.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
I am right, which is why no one with a locked bootloader that now has a yes status is saying they've managed to unlock it, because if they were it would be a significant discovery and we'd all be trying to do it.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnycarter:
so i flashed exactly the way you described and it is still a no :(
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dinkoz:
Is Avelon saying that he had a NO, which turned to a YES, and have managed to unlock bootloader?

Maybe I should give it a try, backing up TA to keep Keys just incase...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Anyone can claim anything, so unless someone else confirms that their operator locked device can now be unlocked by flashing software that changes their NO status to YES, I'll remain skeptical.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dinkoz:
I'll admit it does sound to good to be true, but in the other locked/unlocked bootloader thread apparently he's done it too, but he's also utterly crap at posting steps.. If he's telling the truth that is...

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avelon:
Well, I can't really see the point of 'lying' about it.. I am not sure when it changed from No to Yes, but it certainly did somewhere along the lines of me doing this (in order)->

Rooting stock 454

Installing Exelsus (or whatever it's called) custom rom

Restoring with Sony software to original stock 454

Rooting stock 454 again

Flashing Indian 353 (and this is when I figured I'd check unlock options, lo and behold, it had changed)

I then followed smardu's recipe for rooting 353. (posted somewhere in general, can't really remember which thread)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoubleYouPee:
Which file? (the data/ucf or whatever?)

During the root procedure the CMD said to give superuser permissions to delete the file, but it never asked and just rebooted.

I tried 3x.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Osyx:
The thing that bootloader turned yes, as the question was from the beginning.

I think that you rooted your phone without looking if it was yes or no, and it was yes from the beginning, then after rooting looked at it and it stood no. Then when updating the firmware lost the root and it was back to yes again.

This was due to a bug in the rooting methods which made all bootloader statuses to be no, there was a file you could flash to fix this back to what it was.

To sum it up no this firmware won't make your bootloader status go to yes if your status was no from the beginning, before rooting.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avelon:
This might indeed be correct :) Honestly, I can not remember if I checked the bootloader status before or after I rooted the first time, but it does indeed make sense!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arunk.chowdhary:
I don't know chief! I had Bootloader Unlock Allowed = No before and I recently flashed 253 and I still had No.

Well.. That sucks for me I guess..

Any method to unlock Bootloader for Bootloader Unlock Allowed = No devices..? I mean unofficial or hacked method!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HardResetYourSelf:
Hi Guys,

I am a technician at a local Sprint store. I've had a sudden influx of customer who are experiencing problems with their S3 discharging quickly. Yesterday I had a S3, I removed the battery to test the voltage with a CEN-TECH Digital Multimeter. The setting of the voltage meter is set to DCV 20. I plugged the phone into a charger and tested the voltage output only to recieve a 0.00 reading.(yes i tried multiple chargers) When I put the battery back into the phone, the battery had lost 20%. This is a problem that I would like to find a fix for so that I no longer have to order replacement phones for customers.

My background...

I started as a sales rep, became a assistant store manager, starting college in the fall so I dropped down to a technician.

I am going into the informatics field so i thought it would be best to become a technician. I am farely new to the technician spot but still know alot about computers and technology.

Please help me out =)

Was just wondering if anyone had tried the S4 for awhile only to now reconsider going to the HTC One...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] oohaylima:
What's an HTC One? Never heard of such a device that has the expanding configurable capabilities that the S4 possesses.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] kreemerz:
Lol. I havent played with it - so I have no idea what the features are on that phone.... I'll have a look this weekend.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mjs2011:
Before buying the S4, I gave heavy consideration to the HTC One. I watched videos and reviews from multiple sources.

Overall, these are the reasons why I chose and will continue to stick with the S4:

- Battery Life - Our battery is much better than the HTC One. I compared it to a friend who has the HTC One and he was averaging about 2hr 45 min on screen time on a typical day where I've been getting close to 5hrs screen on time.

- Latest Android Software - I know it probably doesn't make a huge difference, but I really like 4.2. The lock screen widgets come in handy. Being able to check my Falcon Twitter and Gmail without even unlocking the phone is a huge plus.

- It's Samsung - What this means is that our phone will still be receiving firmware upgrades all the way into mid 2015. Not saying that the HTC One won't, but HTC is in real trouble, and if they go out of business, that my make things very complicated for current HTC users. Plus, even afloat, I've heard awful things about timeliness of firmware updates from HTC.

So yeah, I bought the S4 and I'm not looking back.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] wotandsdwys:
Also had the One for a week. It was a seriously great phone. The design of the phone is just gorgeous. Also the weight of it was really nice.

Sense looked and worked great but is not nearly as customizable as tw. And as good as the design and materials seemed, it was not durable or built well in the least. A 2" drop caused some severe corner rash and even a dent. Battery life was excellent but during my first full day with this device, im on track to destroying the htc as far as battery life.

Was def a great attempt and design, but the overall quality of construction and materials is severely lacking. Ill take my new slippery plastic cheap looking s4 over the one all day every day.

---------- Post added at 08:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:57 PM ----------

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Esoteric68:
^^^ This. Until such time that every manufacturer switches to this unreasonable design thereby forcing me to accept it, I will never purchase a phone (especially at full contract price as I buy most of my devices) that doesn't offer removable battery and expandable memory. I very much dislike having to rely on cloud storage to house the things I want access to at all times.

Having said that, I admit I considered it, because I loved my OG EVO so much (which of course offered both removable batter and expandable storage), until I read a multitude of reviews (mostly positive) but there are some build defects that would absolutely drive my OCD tendencies through the roof, so I opted to stay with the brand I know. Now if they'd just move the power button to the top of the phone I'd be thrilled. lol
