[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ryno9100:
And also, I did, in fact, read past rooting, and found several people running CWM and TWRP fine, so I figured it would work. Now maybe they didn't have MF3,and I wasn't paying extremely close attention, but I'm pretty sure there were some on the same model and firmware as I am.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ryno9100:
So, at this point, it's a waiting game for someone to find out how to put a recovery mode on an MF3 firmware, is what you're telling me?

Also, I may have been in stock. I don't remember EXACTLY what clockwork looked like. I just know it wouldn't let me select the gapps and CM files,which is why I tried TWRP. Though I did have CWM recovery flashed when I booted it into recovery those several times.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] graydiggy:
Dude you never booted CWM. That was MF3s stock recovery. MF3 does not allow any custom recovery but Safestrap.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] TidusWulf:
Using Root explorer (or another filesystem app with write access) go to /system/app/

search "dm"

add ".bak" to the following files (filename.apk becomes filename.apk.bak). you don't need to add the .bak to the odex files. that's just extra work

DMcommandService.apk

HtcCdmaMccProvider.apk

HtcOMADM_SettingsPlugin_VZW.apk

HtcOMADM_VZW.apk

This will make it so the apps are not functional, but you didn't (re)move them, so it can easily be undone, should you chose to. Once you do this you won't see "software update" option in the system settings and it won't be able to auto-check either. you may have to reboot to see the changes.

I've been running like this for a few days with no instability. everything is working 100%. I probably disabled more apps than necessary to prevent the OTA, but I wanted to be sure and, like I said, there's no negative results so far.

If your phone has already downloaded the OTA but hasn't installed it, you can find the file in /cache/fumo and remove it. If the notification doesn't disappear on reboot, accept the update, let it fail (since you deleted the file), and the notification to install should go away

EDIT: andybones has been kind enough to upload a flashable ZIP that will remove the OTA apks as well as the firmware file, in case your phone already downloaded, but did not yet install, the update. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46380185&postcount=13
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] kdj67f:
The downloaded OTAPkg.zip was put in the "downloads" folder.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dottat:
No. /cache/fumo in the root directory of your phone. (Root browser mode required). If you have one in downloads its because you downloaded it from your browser.

Op-

What do you have against the ota ?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2469057
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] kdj67f:
I didn't download it from a browser, but I did let the update failure out on installation so it would stop nagging me.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dottat:
It would not have downloaded to "downloads". Trust me on that. Check your /cache/fumo directory.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] kdj67f:
I just did. Empty folder. Using ES file explorer. I don't think I moved files for any reason, but I guess I could have accidentally moved that. I will take your word for it though.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dottat:
Yep....if that file was present you'd be getting the nag. That's where they download to so anyone looking to follow op can delete theirs there.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] TidusWulf:
that file is made to work while retaining S-Off. it's sideloaded, so technically not an "OTA" update. OTAs have a habit of losing people's root, and generally being a nuisance. I don't have anything against updating software. just trying to help people stay one step ahead of Verizon and HTC ruining our fun.

and yeah, it DEFINITELY didn't download to downloads. lol :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Anthrax79:
Using ES Root explorer and a few others, there is no fumo folder in my cache folder

I keep getting the nag, and I have looked everywhere for a file called OTAPkg.zip where else would it be hiding??
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dottat:
Read the thread I posted bro. Its straight up ota firmware and all :). S-off is unaffected.

---------- Post added at 01:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 AM ----------

Did you mount it as root explorer ? Otherwise you won't see the folder
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] TidusWulf:
I misunderstood when I read that topic.

and while the current .8 to .10 may be of no consequence, we can't say for sure when the NEXT update comes out, what will happen, so this topic is just for preventative measures. ;)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dottat:
We agree on that point. Note the location I gave you for downloaded updates. Your file explorer must be in root mode or you won't see any files/folders in /cache. (There should be a couple)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
Just flash this http://d-h.st/tfE and it will remove the OTA if it already was downloaded, along with the files needed to be removed. :cool:

And while I'm here it's always good to remind, as maybe someone doesn't know.

NEVER take an OTA, if you are rooted, and want to STAY rooted.

It very well could take away S-OFF.

Wait until it's confirmed or, just wait for a ROM to be made based off of it and flash the firmware and it's the exact same and you keep your S-OFF. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] kdj67f:
So, I deleted the downloaded update file and let the update process run again, and ES file explorer (actually ES download manager that was part of file explorer) was copying the update to the download folder. So, you guys were right, it was something I was doing wrong. Thanks for setting me straight! :D

So, I let the update download and run, then it fails out (knowing I have CWM recovery installed) and the nag goes away without updating my phone. I accidentally let it update when I was at work and didn't notice until it rebooted. I don't recommend anybody let it run and fail, but that is what happened to me.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brymaster5000:
Has anyone tried to accept the OTA after being stock rooted? I know there isn't a whole lot of changes in the update...but wondering if flashing a new recovery to accept is even necessary with such a minor update...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
I've read if you have S-OFF you CAN accept the OTA.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dottat:
I posted a link to my thread showing how I did it earlier in the thread...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Dethsesh:
Thanks for this, worked great!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cdavidhess:
I purchased a factory refurbished Verizon HTC One on eBay with the intention of flashing to PagePlus. Before I had it flashed I rooted it and renamed these files. I wanted to prevent the OTA updates because I did not want them to break the flash.

I found that I was unable to get the phone flashed because we could never get the DM Command Service window to appear. I eventually realized that my renaming these files (undoubtedly the first one) caused the problem.

I returned the files to their original names and was able to get the phone flashed.

I have renamed the last three files. I'll post here if this is effective in stopping the updates. Verizon is supposed to push out Android 4.4 shortly.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] v1ral:
Great thread!

This is what I do when I flash New Roma as well, but to be more or less safe this is what I do.

I let the Rom fully boot up

Let phone get passed the hands free activation*a must*

With es file explorer or in recovery then change file names, for me I don't change the vdmclient one only till recently.

In recovery you just system go to system/app and change the names.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ripster:
Can anyone confirm that you can swap sims? I thought I read that phone is locked to the first sim card.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtyfingers:
It is not locked to any sim card. You are able to swap sims freely between any Verizon 4g phones. You can even use micro sims in phones with regular sim card slots as long as you have an adapter.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benjamin150:
It is locked in I believe. I had to go to Verizon and have them use a SIM pin unlock.. thing, to get it out. Similar to how to get one out of a device like the HTC One. Not sure why they got rid of where you can just press it up and it'll pop out.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrazwolverine:
All you need to do is grab a small flat head screwdriver and apply a small amount of pressure to the top of sim card and push / pull out. Easy. Thx.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benjamin150:
I figured that should work, luckily I got mine at the store so it was no hassle (besides noticing it in my car before I left and having to go back in). I wasn't 100% sure so better safe than sorry. Good to know you don't have to make a trip to Verizon, though.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssmaster:
I put a little scotch tape on the sim card then pulled it out that way.....

SIM carrier locked to phone - No. I've interchanged the same SIM between three different phones and even with adapter without a problem.

One of my lines now has htc one coming from nexus.

He wants insurance total coverage question is about asurion having the blue version?

Anyone can help me ?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cbrown245:
The simple answer is NO .... The Blue HTC One is a Best Buy exclusive , and from my understanding Asurion cant get it unless they are replacing a Blue HTC One on their insurance . Easier way is to upgrade through Best Buy and get Best Buys insurance .
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] AsurionCares:
Asurion Replacement Devices

Great question!

We try to replace your device with the same device. However, we cannot guarantee color. It is based on availability at the time you file your claim. If your original color is available at the time you file your claim, the original color will be sent. If your original color is not available at the time you are filing your claim, your options will be discussed with you at that time. You can find more information about the coverage we provide by visiting www.phoneclaim.com/verizon. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

Thanks!

Thanks for response asurion.

Best buy geek squad insurance is not worth what they are asking for.

You guys are the best this is why my s4 now had insurance from you.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cbrown245:
I beg to differ , I have Best Buy insurance and I can take my phone with a broken screen to any Best Buy and exchange it right there with NO deductable for a Brand New Phone where on asurion I would have to send it in , pay a deductable and get a refurbished phone and thats if they will fix or replace it , I pay $9.99 and you pay $7.99 . But I guess to each his own . Dont get me wrong if asurion was my only option I would have it but honestly the $2.00 is worth it .
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] patt2k:


That makes sence but if he loses it someone steals from him at least he is not paying full price that is the reason why I prefer Asurion.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cbrown245:
Best Buy covers loss or theft also and even water damage which to my knowledge isnt covered on asurion ( Or wasnt when I had it ) .
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] patt2k:
so the rep that upgraded the phone said it does not.

You are the first person that told me it covers loss or theft.

Can you find me a link where it says that? thanks man.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
The rep is correct.

Geeksquad protection does not cover theft or loss.

Here is the exact wording from their policy:

There are more exclusions then the one I posted here, but that is the relevant part regarding theft or loss.

Link to the full policy: HERE
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
I HATE Best Buy protection WITH A BURNING PASSION.

Don't go with Best Buy. I could write an essay on how much they suck. And I worked there when I was 17, I know first hand the games they play.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] patt2k:
Just called VZW. Added Asurion protection.

As much as bestbuy sounds nice the theft/lost is a winner here on Asurions side and 2$ cheaper / mo.

I do know the deductible but if I lose it bestbuy will say I am sorry.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Dark Jedi:
One thing I don't like about asurion is youvonly get two claims in a year. After that they cancel your insurance. I ghinkcits not right as I have to pay 99 bucks for a refurbished phone that I hope has been fixed right. I have had asurion for years and had to do a claim because I cracked my bolt screen. Got my replacement and about a few months later it fell and cracked again. If I would of replaced it again I would of lost coverage. All insurances has its ups and downs. I heard squaretrade is a good insurance for phones.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] patt2k:
My friend about 1.5yrs ago broke his droid razr he paid once 99.99$ then asurion sent him bad phone at first , they sent him replacement before him sending the old one back then another one was bad and on 3rd try phone was okay.

Must be just you I don't know.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Dark Jedi:
No 2 separate claims a year.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] patt2k:
That seems okay with me actually it's not so bad. Before me upgrade date maybe 5-6 months i will cancel,when new device upgraded will add again :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nrfitchett4:
Best buy now has a deductible too, probably losing money on insurance claims.

And why would someone need more than two claims a year?

Before anyone just says yes, please look at my situation.

I am running the latest stock JB update, but there seems to be a lot of lag. I installed the update using Sony's software as an upgrade and kept all my information and apps instead of doing a clean install. Is the following behavior normal or is this something a hard reset would fix?

1. If I manually close the phone app, and then launch it, I have to wait at least 3 seconds for the phone app to populate (i.e. show keypad, and call history)

2. If I manually close the Google Now app, then launch Google Now from the homescreen seacrch widget, I have to wait at least 2 seconds for the Now app to fully load and for the soft keyboard to launch.

Are these wait times normal for the Xperia S/SL? I am considering a hard reset of my phone, but would rather not waste my time if this lag is typical.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] yUlekk:
Sooner or later it'll become laggy, so it is a temporary fix at least for phonebook
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tOrNadO™:
Wait times are pretty normal.. But a clean install of any ROM will prevent lags or bugs.. Do remember that.. ;)

Hi, CM 10.1. Out of the blue a lot of my apps seem to be crashing at random. this inckudes the stock browser packed into CM, Trebuchet, reddit and pretty much anything it seems. My phone has been 100% solid until recently with these crashes.

What usually happens is, i will notice black "slits" flash on the left and right corners/sides of my screen, about 1/2 my screen in total between the two slits, then my phone will freeze. It doesn't seem to want to knock out of this state unless I tilt my phone back to portrait (I'm always using it in landscape). None of the hardware buttons work during this, nor the lock button. Anyone have a clue as to what's up with this? I feel like something is wrong with the GPU. I haven't installed anything new lately other than game emulators; however it's not happening only when they are running.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CZory91:
Another thing to add, is that once it decides to be fixed, if I continue playing on say an emulator it will freeze again shortly after.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Namrepus221:
OK I have Verizon Galaxy Nexus and for some strange reason. My NFC is entirely disabled. I am running full stock rom, locked bootloader.

I had the Google Wallet app installed when they first opened it. I used it mostly for the loyalty cards function but I decided today to try the NFC. Well I opened the program and it started saying the NFC was disabled. I never disabled it because I use it for other things (Mostly for my GPS in my car. I have a tag that enables the GPS and opens a Car Home app that i have automatically.) Going to the settings it shows the NFC option with the checkmark. but it's greyed out. I can't re-enable it.

So I figure I might've burned out the antenna on the battery. Nope. Switching the batteries to a spare that I have yield's a similar result. Namely that I can attempt to check the checkbox. But if I do it just grey's out and won't check the box.

What the heck is going on!?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Namrepus221:
Absolutely. I don't use off branded batteries. I've had problems with them in the past with thrid party batteries on other phones.

So yes. I have 2 Samsung official batteries. I primarily use the Extended battery in my phone. I do have a standard battery which is the spare that I alluded to about testing to make sure the NFC antenna from the Extended wasn't shot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Namrepus221:
Here's a screen shot of what the option looks like for those of you wondering.

It looks like this when I start the phone. But when I try to go through settings from the wallet app. It shows up clickable, but when I check it. It just sits there and does nothing. I've even set it to try to use it while the phone is prevented from sleeping for 35 minutes. Nothing happened!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bpyazel:
Something is screwed up there. I have a non-NFC compatible battery but I can check or uncheck the box. Might have to do a factory reset.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] kuzcoed:
Hello,

I have been working on an application named Greasy IM for Windows Phone 8.

I'm hoping I could get some people that would like to beta test this application prior to it being publicly published on the marketplace that way I can get the bugs out of the code.

As this application approx. 450KB's I have two options of you being able to get this application.

1) You can download from here on XDA (you must sideload the application onto your Windows Phone device)

2) You can access the beta directly on Microsoft's marketplace (where the newest updates will be posted first).

If you would like to be able to access the beta directly on Microsoft's marketplace, I must get your Microsoft e-mail account that is associated with your Windows Phone per Microsoft's requirements, however, if you would rather get it from XDA-Developers and sideload the application onto your Windows Phone device you can get the application in the attachments below.

Also, if you do download this application, please be sure to reply to this thread with the following information:

1) Windows Phone 8 Device (HTC 8X, Nokia Lumia 1020, Nokia Lumia 822, etc...)

2) Any problems you may have with the application.

As of now, the only protocol that actually works with this application is AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), so, do not be surprised if your other accounts do not activate.

This is being developed by one person (me), and I would gladly accept any help that is offered such as translations, bug reports, feature suggestions, design suggestions & complaints, etc..

Thank you.
