[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Kraizk:
A couple of people developed a "consensus" that it had been fixed. then 2 more people bricked their phones. ALLEGEDLY the CPU has a tendency to over clock itself and lock at 1.7 Ghz

This is all fine and dandy yet no one can figure out why or how to stop it.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] BMP7777:
I thought so too
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Kraizk:
Like I said no one ever figured out why or how to stop it. A consensus was reached but then more people bricked. No developers could be bothered to take time out of their day to look into it though.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] BMP7777:
I saw one guy who was addressing it and taking names and such, but then I guess it just faded away. Do you know of ongoing issues like this? Can all of the bricks be undoubtedly proven to be from no other cause? I think that would be the defining characteristic of lack of support; difficulty in proving cause. My build of CM10.2 runs fine as long as I don't try to change the font with Font Installer. And I am reasonably certain that it isn't from CM all by itself. I have the same issue with Illusion ROM 4.2.2. Anybody know why we can't change the font? My thread; I can change topic if I want to:p
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Kraizk:
It is the only common factor in permanent bricks. Phone gets hot, phone wont charge. All other "bricks" are user induced because people did not understand what S-Off meant, what wiping in TWRP means, what GSM means etc etc.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] BMP7777:
So how many confirmed permanent bricks and when was the last? Has anyone proven a cause? Contacted HTC or CM or Sprint? If there were twenty cases with only 5 confirmed, then it isn't that big from a larger standpoint. See what I mean? That would explain what you see as a lack of support? Has this happened to you?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Indirect:
Check your hangouts.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Beck04vall:
You could build us a GSM version ROM that works on the sprint HTC One. You'd be a hero if you could do that. We've already unlocked our phones and are able to connect to the ATT / TMO but only manually. When the signal is lost it seems to still be looking to auto connect to sprint...I would think this should be a simple setting software but I know nothing about phone ROMs.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] BMP7777:
Man, if I could do that I'd be a GOD. :angel:
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] marksedge:
I love lamp

Haha Naw but I see your point but I love and appreciate every devolepers effort here on this forum ..there not a a lot but a bunch of smart and quietly brilliant devs here ...I'm comfortable but the more the merrier
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Kraizk:
I cant remember the final count on bricks but if i remember correctly the number was high enough to cause concern (a few of the users we tagged as "experienced" and i believe one was a recognized contributor for that that is worth). The issue is that no one has proven the cause, the only common factor was CM or CM based roms. One user sent his in to HTC for repair and reported back that the tech told him the board was fried and needed replaced.

Dont get me wrong, I see what you are saying and do understand that a large amount of users who cry brick really just need an RUU or a side load. However each brick was confirmed dead as dead can be. There was no way to get it to charge, or boot. The charging indicator wouldn't even light up. I dont know how many users used/continue to use CM as many of the features still appear to be broken or bugged. This has not happened to me, there was a large enough number of issues that i decided it was not safe to flash
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Felnarion:
Phones die. You have a few users who happened to be using CM who had their phones die inexplicably. There are numerous people the world over who have an HTC One and had it die stock and unrooted too, it just happens.

Considering the nunber of people who actively use CM10.1/.2 daily on this forum, and other HTC One forums, I can't really see how you can definitely say AOSP is killing phones when you have less than half a dozen to show for it, and no explanation for why it could be the case.

All you have now is people in an AOSP thread talking about their dead phones. Of course the sense people aren't going to chime in there, AOSP is in the title.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] BMP7777:
Interesting point, and kinda what I was hinting at, without trying to discount the problem that the affected people have gone through. Even ten or twenty serious issues would not be enough to warrant a serious inquiry from a worldwide standpoint. Not my opinion, mind you, just the way I am sure it would look to an outside professional gauging the issue.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Kraizk:
I thought we were talking just Sprint. This is a unique issue. I have not seen it on a GSM variant yet. Not enough verizon users have unlock and they have a 4.2.2 kernel to start with. I gave my two cents on the matter is all. I really don't think that many Sprint One users are using CM anymore and I think it does a disservice to the community to write the issue off so quickly.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] BMP7777:
I am, I haven't seen this on any other ONE forum. Apparently, there are international users that have a sprint variant. Don't ask me, man....:eek:

My only point was that in order to get someone with a name involved (htc, sprint, etc), there would have to be a large population of users with the very same issue and proven cause. That is MY opinion. No one is writing this off, because no one has gotten involved. whaddayawantfromme

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Konfuzion:
Who's going back and forth arguing? Not me, I could literally give two ****s if people want to risk bricking their One. It is theirs to do with as they please. I am just posting a thread that had a lot of cases of One's getting hard bricked running CM and I have seen very few cases on stock or other sense based Roms.

When I actually cared to follow a read about/talk to people about the CM hard bricks it was almost always the same CM with stock kernel (a few cases with other kernels (rules out a kernel problem in my eyes)) device get extremely hot, clock locks at 1.7 ghz and RUU and everything else didn't resolve it until the processor frys the MB from heat.

If that's all some random coincidence cool.

Oh and I guess we can add you to the list of devs that are blowing it off as nothing.

I would also be willing to bet that for every person that reported problems here there are another 5 to 10 others that didn't.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Kraizk:
Wow guys calm down. This shouldn't be an argument. The question was asked what gives with development and feed back and etc etc. I simply brought up that this is a concern among more than a few people. That myself and many others believe this is a huge enough issue to back off on flashing custom roms.

So far the only common factor is CM. To me and many people this IS the cause then. If you don't agree thats cool, I was just trying to give a bit of insight with regard to your question.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] BMP7777:
Look here, first off, I am not a developer. I am a regular guy with no coding experience who had the guts to try and learn to build on my own and give real devs a break with the constant demands. You, on the other hand, are apparently really pissed about all of this and are obviously getting angrier that no one is jumping fast enough to suit you. If I had any experience with this sort of thing, I would try to offer helpful advice. At this point, my novice experience would tell me that if the main factor in reported cases OTHER THAN CM is a stuck CPU blowing out the system then my advice would be to invest in a kernel enhancement tool like Fauxclock, Trickster Mod, Android Tweaker or others. I use Fauxclock for my CPU and Android Tweaker Pro for all my other settings. I do understand that this can be extremely frustrating and like I said, if it happened to me I'd be ultra pissed. But, insulting me for not popping up with a solution is not how people are going to respond positively to another persons problem. One more time, I only wanted to see if other users or devs had an interest in putting out custom ROMs with this thread, not turn it into a back and forth about an issue that I have no idea how to solve. Now then, can we all play nice? I am still working on three different ROMs for use here m7spr, and although I am failing miserably at this time, I hope to eventually have success. I then want to start a 'Project Rookie' thread here, so other people like me can learn to build, develop, and hopefully use their very expensive devices to the fullest. I have built ROMs and begun Project Rookie in two other forums, the SGH-I727 Skyrocket and the LG Optimus G, and both forums seemed to appreciate my efforts. I only want to gather like-minded people to work together. If this issue is something that you believe to be ongoing, tell me how you think I can help and I will definitely try. I do not blow off anything here, but I do have very limited knowledge. I have a degree in IT tech support; ask me how useful that is here.......but don't act like I must not care because I don't have a solution.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Konfuzion:
This is the oddest post I have ever been a part of. I post one reply with a link to a thread with info about the hard bricks, then I am accused of back and forth arguing? How it's one post a back and forth?

Then I post a reply stating that I am not arguing and that I could care less what you do with your devices and suddenly I am pissed?

I was just trying to offer up information and be helpful, anyway I guess no matter what I post its going to be misconstrued, so I'm out. Rock on!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] BMP7777:
Maybe someone needs a little nap. And I never said YOU were arguing, I said I didn't see any point in back and forth arguing. ALL OF US. You were rude and I called you on it. Period. I don't know much, but with what I do know I try to help as much as I can. I didn't think you needed to accuse me of dismissing an important issue when I haven't. I just don't know. End of story. Be cool. Let's move on. I still think that CPU management tools may be an effective option if the root cause was in CPU load. I'm not dismissing CM as a possible cause before now, but still think the problem would be more wide spread. And maybe it is. But I haven't seen it and I have been paying attention. I saw this problem when I first got here and I have only flashed three ROMs since buying my phone and this was the reason. And one of them was my own build of CM 10.2. But like I said I just don't know. I don't think anyone else does either. That's the most likely reason for nobody seeing any movement on this. I understand how frustrating that can be; I'm experiencing it myself first hand but for a much less important reason. In my quest to get new builds running I have been posting my build errors on the appropriate threads and don't get much in the way of response. Its easy to mistake lack of knowledge with lack of caring. I go through it myself. But that doesn't always mean nobody cares. That is the sermon for today. Now, does anybody actually have a desire for more building or to build themselves? That's what I would like to address.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Konfuzion:
For the few people who tried it while their phone was running very hot cpu apps did nothing to prevent the brick.

If I came across as anything other than trying to be helpful or factual in my initial post that's just a matter of emotions not translating to text.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] BMP7777:
Same here. No hard feelings. Like I said before, I empathize and wish I knew more about how to avoid whatever it is that causes this brick. I am paranoid to flash even the full-on stock ROMs in this forum and thats the reason why. If I came off like a jag, it certainly wasn't on purpose. But, I do think that a true CM-based problem would be more widespread. Other than that, I give you the palms-up shrug. I still want to build for this device, and so far the only successful and functional build I've pulled off is a CM10.2. So, I dunno :eek:
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Kraizk:
I may not have been completely clear, if so I apologize. Through research of other forums the issue is with the Sprint variant of CM 10.2 where a large number of users have had this issue, both experienced and no so experienced users.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] BMP7777:
Great. Now I'm gonna be all

every time I wanna flash a ROM, even my own. UGH
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Kraizk:
As a precaution I have not done so. The first bricks happened within days, then it seemed to clear up and now the problem seems to be back. Because of it I have to admit sense has grown on me.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Konfuzion:
I'm cool man, I am not a huge fan of CM however I am a fan of development wether that be sense or CM. The only reason I was trying to add to this thread is to further development and try to bring the CM brick issue more attention so hopefully it can be fixed.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] BMP7777:
So...then we should rename the thread and call it what? How not to nuke yer phone? Gimmie some ideas.

If a common aspect is CM10.2, and another is overheating, what is the thought process? A kernel problem somewhere? Or could it be more like a suspected hardware issue. I remember when I had my Skyrocket, we had issue, I forget what it was, Car vs Driver could probably tell you, but at one point the idea was that the problem could be traced down to a particular shipment of phones. I think it was by the manufacturing date or serial number. It was never verified, and eventually it died down. But, that became the prevailing theory, and I wonder if anyone has brought up something like this. Just an idea....
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Kraizk:
Going off the limited info and my limited knowledge of development I would blame kernel. One user started mentioning "trickster" but iirc that is a separate program used for CPU management? Is that built into CM now?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Konfuzion:
It could be entirely possible that it's select group of hardware however that doesn't explain that it's only really being reported on CM.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] BMP7777:
Not to my knowledge, but I don't look as closely as maybe I should. I thought CM was a stock kernel, so a typical release wouldn't have additions or changes that would normally explain something like this. And I'm not trying to be 'rah rah CM', just pointing out that their firmware is very common, stable, and usually very vanilla in terms of tweaks, so it wouldn't come from extras that went wrong. And with the level of brains working on that development on a daily basis, it's strange that it hasn't been at least addressed.

Good point.:confused:
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Kraizk:
I don't disagree. However many people reported that they were using no "system altering" apps when things went bad... While I love CM I have had experiences with issues in the past and developers having a "too good to deal with you" attitude.... From what I have heard that is what has happened here.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] BMP7777:
I can definitely relate to that. Every forum I've gone to has had me see the veterans there be pretty elitest when I've asked for information on building. If they don't know you, they really don't know you. And it sucks. That was the reason I started this thread! Now, in the forums I was at before this, after you got around and 'earned' everyone's respect, then you were in with most. It can be annoying, but at the same time, since I have begun building, I have had to deal with nonsense you would not believe just in the day to day maintenance of a thread. So, it does work both ways. In the case of my issues in this forum, the problems I had and the devs I had them with have all been resolved. But, back to the problem, I saw the spreadsheet, and know there are many unhappy people, but what else has been investigated at this point? Not everyone who had this happen was a novice or plain user, were they?

BTW, I'm going to turn this thread into my project rookie thread for m7spr. Itll begin with this discussion and then begin to offer building steps, installation tips, and blahblahblah. Are you guys cool with that?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Kraizk:
Well first things to do is get caught up.... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2328504

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] ElectroBeijing:
For what it's worth, I have had some similar experiences with my One. (I just restored it completely to stock, taking it back tomorrow).

I was using the PACMan 4.2.2 ROM (I started out on the 4.3 one, but the keyboard kept crashing), and suddenly yesterday it randomly got hot. I didn't overclock or anything, I wasn't running anything that'd make it get hot, but it got hot for like 20 minutes or so. Later that day/night, I was going to listen to some music, and my headphone jack wasn't working. Tried multiple headphones, same thing. Tried playing music through the speakers, and they were broken too. Obviously, I can't tell you for sure that the random overheat caused the audio to stop working, but they both happened in the same day, one after the other... Luckily, no brick happened, I was able to get back on stock software to trade in, but maybe this could be related somehow..? I don't know.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] BMP7777:
I studied that thread pretty closely when I first got here, so I have a decent idea of the problem. What I don't have is any idea where to begin on attempting any sort of 'fix' as I just don't see a common denominator among each and every brick. I do see similarities, as we have already discussed. But, I really need somebody with more experience than me before even suggesting anything. Open to ideas......

I just got the tomtom 5 software off ebay for about 10 quid. The guy sent me a cd with all the software on it. Told me to copy all the files to the SD card and install 4 programs from the installation directory.

Did everything as he told me.

The software was successfully installed apparently, the TOMTOM logo appears on the home screen.

Upon clicking it, it opens the setup for tomtom5 choosing preffered appearance, and voice choices.

After that, it just goes to a blank screen with no maps. I cannot access the maps on the SD card. They are there. It has a button called DOWNLOAD A MAP and takes me through GPRS to the tomtom site asking me for a user name and password.

I dont have one since I got it off ebay. SO i'm kinda stuck. Any ideas why it may not be working? Anything I have to do to pull up the maps?

Anyone wants to give it a try, I have it uploaded on ftp and the zip file with all the files are accessible via http. let me know.

If anyone provide me link please. I'll very thankful for your help.

Atleast provide the HTC Sense 4.0 Please!

Just flash a Sense Custom ROM and Sense Kernel and you should be fine.. Btw, 4.2/4.3 is still in development and not meant for using as a daily. Try the 4.1.2 ROMs. They are pretty cool. If you still wanna go back to stock rom.. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2220396

But why would you wanna go back to Stock unless you're giving it for repairs? I'd say flash a Sense Custom ROM.

Hi all, I have a Chinese clone of Galaxy S4 called No.1 S6 with MTK6589 Cpu and Android 4.2.1, well, I tried to replace some system app like contacts, phone dialer and messages with the same apps taken from the Slim bean 4.2.2 Rom for the Google Nexus 4 that has the same screen resolution. I odexed the slim bean apks with dexopt-wrapper as explained here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1462648, I signed them with auto-sign software, so I put them into system/app folder with right permissions, deleting old apks first, rebooted the phone, wiped cache in recovery and when the phone booted the apk I replaced was gone, so I wanna ask u if it's really possible to make this kind of replacement or I made a huge mistake, of course this is a noob that talks...

It's maybe an stupid question but, did you tried to install it normally? With the apkinstaller or filemanager.

Well, If it's to replace other apps. Uninstall it first and then try to install your port. Without any wipe or so.
[Android General] mike2587:
Unfortunately these apks can't be installed as normal apks, the installation fails if u try, and I can't uninstall them neither because system apps have to be replaced manually in system/app folder. So the question was if the problem is with the odex file or the signature or if there is an absolute incompatibility between OS and the ported apks that I want to replace. I'm afraid that's not possibile at all because system apps have deep connections with the OS...

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] cowisland:
Hi, this may be silly, but is anyone having issues adding apps to the home screen using the default built in launcher?

It feels like half the time when I long press an app or a widget in the app drawer, nothing happens, or maybe I just end up launching the app. The launcher behaves as if the long press is not being detected. A long press on the home screen works fine however (I get a prompt to change the wallpaper).

I typically use Nova and that's not an issue there. But when I tried the default launcher I keep getting problems.

Thanks.
