Hi guys:

My Evitare had the following symptoms, at the first this was locked, original, AT&T branded, with some little bug in the camera, then I get a unlock code in HTCDEV; I unlock the bootloader and I flash the recovery (finally the TWRP 2.6.6.), then I flash a custom ROM…. Working apparently fine, but with the network locked to AT&T, after a few days I buy a unlock code in Cellunlocker (awesome service), I was working hard various days with the code because the device request the code, I put it but at the restart the phone request again for the same code but this not work (with custom and stock roms), only at the new restart the code works and is recognized for the device. Finally forcing the restart at th same time what the unlock code was entered (in the first time), at the new boot the network is unlocked.. but after this odyssey, the phone boot fine but at the load of the sense loader the signal, data, voice is lost, then the device reboot again in a loop, until the radio is on..

I saw what the logcat is not clear about the reason, but I´m sure that the bug is of security.. In old boots after I reflash the RUU 1.19.502, the device show the message “Restricted access changed”, then the fail is loading the radio, the device selectively load or not the radio.. I resolve this loading forced the device again with the use of the apps Fast Reboot and Quick Boot of the market, because the one x+ alone, boot infinitely in some cases

Do you have some idea of the reason for it?.. I think what the S-Off will cure this bug, then I waiting anxiously for it… This would unlock totally the partitions, hboot, radio, etc.. Thanks in advance! :o
[HTC One X+] Lloir:
did you input the code on a PROPER STOCK rom or on a custom rom?
[HTC One X+] yisao:
Hi, Lloir.. On all the ROMS showed and related with the HOX+.. finally the code did work, but now, the phone lost the radio frequently, the screen don't wake up after the sleep... lately, it´s slow, the touch is not responsive... Finally I think what the HOX+ fo AT&T in some devices have a failure in the eMMC, the logcat show several fatal errors reading sectors or files after random starts or reebots, executig programs, the modem or radio sometimes lost...

No one reaches this conclusion, but I saw several users with same symptoms...

My eMMC according to "eMMC check" is the K1U00M with firmware rev 0x15 and date 11/2012.. it's a "sane chip" :rolleyes:

Regards..

Is there a way to alter the way volume Control is handled? apps that automatically control volume are only controling ringtone, system, and notification volume. specificly mort player is supposed to increase volume to 100% for the alarm but unfortunately it doesn't raise the media volume which is the volume mort player uses. Silent mode Gold does not mute the media Volume.

I have, lots of them, even 10 hours.. in the battery stats thread.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iElvis:
Android battery stats are the internet's new p***s measuring contest. It's possible to game the stats by monkeying with the settings so your phone isn't actually doing anything but sit there with the screen on at lowest brightness. Doesn't mean anything.

4 hours with normal configurations and usage seems fine to me.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] criszz:
second that. max 5h screen time from 6h total usage
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaorSwan:
And what about this: sometimes I charge to 100%, then when I use it for a minute it goes down to 99%, then I leave it for 5 minutes and it's suddenly 95%? It should take 1% per 3-4 minutes.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iElvis:
I've seen that happen with my phone sometimes, especially if it's been sitting on the charger at full charge for a while.

If it's continually dropping at that rate you have a problem, but I think there is something quirky with the battery voltage that confuses Android's battery calculations when you pull it off the charger. The phone trickle-charges the last 5% or so, and I think sometimes may stop short of true 100%, or stop charging altogether and let it drain a bit even on the charger. Plug it back in and charge to 100% and it seems to fix it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dolphlungegrin:
So this is going to sound odd, but hear me out. I like many of you got the ME7 update. On sunday I tried rerooting and reflashing. Soft bricked my phone. Used ODIN to re-install ME7 firmware. All runs fine. In the midst of this however I panicked and called verizon for a replacement under warranty. I made the claim that "I unplugged my phone during the ME7 update" and that's how it bricked. If the phone they send me is MDK can I send my ME7 back? Should I "re-brick" my ME7 and send it back to them or just do a data wipe and re package it? Would they be able to tell?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Erisnoob:
Be honest.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dolphlungegrin:
You mean, send back the new phone they're sending me? I can't think you would want me to tell them I'm rooting and re-flashing my device. . .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] richii0207:
Why not, that's exactly what you did after all...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dolphlungegrin:
True. . . but I'm not sure I want to pay the full price for the phone they sent me under warranty. I would rather send the replacement back and wait for the ME7 bootloader to be cracked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] asharad:
Yup
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Erisnoob:
I mean if your device does not have any faults why are you getting a replacement? I understand you requested before you realized it is actually ok. You came here asking for advice on how to trick a company that is honoring a defective device that actually is not defective. So yeah send back your replacement or find a legit defect with your device. Sounds like an integrity issue to me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dolphlungegrin:
Alright the point is taken about being honest. You don't really need to make an underhanded comment about my character over something like this though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ozzzzysh:
I would tell them that you just fixed it with Odin..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dolphlungegrin:
I called them and said I fixed my phone. Sending the replacement back. Goodbye MDK=/.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ballisticn8:
Why be underhanded about your character? Your title is how to trick Verizon? What this really is though is a hey look at me guys I commited fraud to replace a device that I knowingly and willingly violated my warranty with and had verizon send me a replacement device only to find out my original device wasnt broken after all. To add to the character comment even though you've fixed your device you're still contemplating continuing with the fraud by purposely bricking a device that you repaired...

I think this whole thread speaks volumes about your character or lack there of. You posted this on the internet. You screwed up the device. You fixed it. Own it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cbmggm:
The one thing I hate about the XDA forums is the rudeness of some people. It's completely up to the OP regarding his conscience in the matter. I will give you my opinion:

I have never read about anybody getting back charged for returning phone that was modded / rooted. Those of us that have been long time VZW customers have seen the decline of trust with them. I know it's too late for you to change course now but in the future you should have no regrets if you decide for another equipment swap. With the root / unlock bounty reaching towards $6K you can ask any of them how they feel. VZW sneaked in the so called OTA update with minor improvements overall; and completely locking down the phone.

It's up to you in the end but I wouldn't worry..... You would be the first casualty.

Edit: The title of your thread didn't help matters either
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Erisnoob:
I agree with you completely, it's on the person. The question was how do I trick verizon....so my answer was don't. If you don't want the feedback, don't ask. No rudeness was intended. I am fairly sure the lack of ownership on mistakes is frowned upon in the XDA community. Oh well, my opinion was to be honest. Enjoy your decision
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] najaboy:
Nothing rude was said to the op. The fact of the matter is that the very premise of this thread was to seek advice on warranty fraud, which is illegal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TNS201:
It probably wouldnt even matter if you sent back the "broke" one back fixed, they probably don't open each phone package to verify it functions, probably just check for water damage and cracks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dolphlungegrin:
Alright, alright, I dug my own grave on this one. I don't want to resort to such tactics but like everyone else I'm a little peeved with Verizon so I'm contemplating doing things I normally wouldn't do. Not that it's an excuse but making sweeping judgments about my character is a little overboard. It's not like I sneak out at night punching babies or anything. I'm annoyed that I was hoodwinked into an update that prevented me from modding my phone. I'm sure I'm not the only one. I just saw a potential way out and wanted to know if anyone had any experience with getting charged for sending back a rooted phone. If you think I should just be honest, say so. This whole "you lack integrity," stuff is B.S. If Verizon had any integrity I wouldn't even be contemplating pulling a stunt like this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dolphlungegrin:
The Verizon rep said something similar. He said they check for water damage, broken screen, etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Erisnoob:
Here's the deal, no one thinks you are a bad person. Strike me down, but verizon is not lacking integrity here. Never once was this device advertised as being unlocked or unlockable and they have never said they support modding. If this was a nexus that they locked the bootloader on then yes, problem. I said be honest, my point was this decison is an integrity one, not you lack integrity. If you wanted to know if will VZW charge you for returning a rooted phone, that would have been a more appropriate question and thread, not how do I trick Verizon. Lesson learned, not beating up on you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ballisticn8:
The OP owned it, he said he was sending the replacement device back. Good for him. Like others I wasnt trying to come across as being rude as much as appalled at the blatant disregard of personal responsibility. At the same time posting this type of title and thread up on XDA is kinda asking for it, which again, the OP has acknowledged.

We know we hate the carriers locking devices down. Locking them actually presents more of a risk of bricking than unlocked devices that you can always flash back to stock. Almost every thread here has something to the effect of "by following such and such your warranty is now void and we are not responsible", come on, we're registered here at XDA, we all know this. If we want an open device get a dev or nexus device and get an extended warranty or insurance option, they're out there.

Congrats to the op for staying classy, your choices are your choices and you'll live with whatever choices you decide to make.

And as we all should know by now, dont post on the interwebz if you dont want to hear what people, trolls and non-trolls alike have to say...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hovax615@hotmail.com:
Think of it like this. What do you use your phone for? To talk on the phone. Send messages. Email. Take pictures. Surf the web. Play games. Watch videos. Video chat. The other 20% is customization. If this was the year 1999 you would only be able to use your phone to make calls send messages and half-assed surf the web. Your phone is used for those types of things. Just because an update happened to a phone doesn't mean that you cannot use your phone to do those things it only limits you from updating to a different ROMS. ATT Verizon and them paid the money so they could have the locked boot loaders for the phones. If you didn't want restrictions then you wouldn't have used the upgrade you had and went and paid full price for the GPE s4 or other phone. Not saying that I like having a locked boot loader but since Obama came into office this is how its going to be because he's UN Americanized. But there are people working hard to get the boot loader unlocked it just takes time. You can still root it. Just my 2 cents
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dolphlungegrin:
Phone has been sent back. I'll deal with the ME7 bootlaoder for now. Fingers crossed. Thanks for the input fellow members.

I know, I still have a lot on my phone I'm thankful for. As per restriction part, I'm actually new to android (this is my first device). I made the decision without a whole lot of knowledge on rooting, re-flashing, etc. Had I known that ahead of time I absolutely would have held out for an unlocked phone. I'm not saying it's anyone else's fault except mine, but I didn't know my butt from a hole in the ground when I got this phone a few months ago.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hovax615@hotmail.com:
Yeah I came from an iPhone too and read about some update, so I checked for it and updated. it was kind of stupid of me but I mean not a big deal because I can do everything I still need to do with it on this phone. I believe its way better than a jail broken iPhone with it being stock and unrooted. I have all the apps that I need but I do miss a couple features the iPhone has.

All possible com port settings and speeds have been tried. My first question is Has any one connected a gps device through an XDa o2 serial / sync connector succesfully ?

My second question are there any settings in the windows software to control the serial connection to plug in devices ?

I am about to return the GPS products for a refund but I thought I should ask for help first.

Go to settings/connections, make sure that the recive incoming beams box is UNCHECKED. If you have the driver for external keyboard loaded make sure the driver is disabled. In your gps software choose nmea 4800 and Com 1. If you have done all that then I would suspect the cable or the gps. I have used many different serial gps devices on xda and xda 2 and it works 100 percent.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikaeldalc:
First, sorry if this has been covered already but ive done my searching around and I'm still confused.

Im looking to flash a custom ROM. I'm already rooted and running dual recovery. I'm on the T-Mobile XZ C6606. Looking at the development sections, and this phone seems more complicated when it comes to flashing than others. Can someone point me to the right direction.

All I want to do is flash a custom stock based ROM with good battery. I see Roms that say u need to flash old firmware first using flashtool but those firmwares are for other models.

I'm also debating on unlocking the bootloader but it says I would lose the bravia Engine, would a custom ROM bring it back?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
If you want to flash any custom ROM that is NOT based on stock ROM, such as CM/AOSP, you need an unlocked bootloader. I suggest that, if you want to unlock your bootloader, you first backup your DRM keys.

All this info is found in this forum. I'm still getting familiar with it myself, as I haven't even purchased my XZ yet.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrKrFfXx:
First, you can't unlock the bootloader of your device, so forget about that idea. All T Mobile Z are unlockable.

Second, now that you have recovery installed, it is just a matter of downloading the zip file containing the rom you want and flash it. Afaik, all C6603 roms are compatible with yoyr device, but itll be good if you ask before on the thread of the rom you want to try.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikaeldalc:
ok, because im not new to flashing but on the rom pages, the installing instructions are making it seem more complicated than building a time machine. For example here one:

------BACKUP any critical data to microSD

Copy this rom zip package to microSD

Flash stock Sony's firmware (FTF) 10.1.A.434 (for android 4.1.2) or 10.3.A.0.423 (for android 4.2.2) using flashtools

Root using any available method

Install any available recovery (TWRP recommended)

Reboot in recovery, do factory reset & install rom until finish

Turn off device. (Hold power button + vol up until vibrates 3 times)

Flash latest Sony's firmware (FTF) matching current latest monxDIFIED base rom using flashtools. Uncheck all WIPE options and exclude all EXCEPT KERNEL & BASEBAND to get latest matched kernel & baseband.

Turn on phone. Done.-------

But, ur saying i just need to flash a rom like normal right?

---Wipe data, Flash custom rom and reboot?

Also, in the dual recovery page, it stated that i need to flash the LockedDualRecovery file after flashing rom, is this still relevant?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrKrFfXx:
Those install instructions are ancient. Back then, you had to go to back to that exploitable firmware to root and install recovery. Skip those steps, you have recovery already installed.
