Just like what happened with the leaked app, at least they have learnt this time hahahah! I got my code last night, just leave it for an hour or so, and click I got this email (even if you haven't) and it might send you to the login page, trust me it works, but they are having massive demand, on their crappy bb servers, that's why it's taking so long, I mean, it's blackberry, come on! xD

Lately this error appear a lot in my cm10.1.5. Do you know any way ti fix it? I ask to start trying every solution you post, even that I have already tried a lot of possible ways (all of them wrong) Thanks
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alkis05:
As a last resource you could always wipe all your partitions and reflash the ROM.

I never got such an error though, so I don't know what your are talking about. Maybe with you could post some log file about the error, it would be easier for the people here to help you with it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rasbin:
Hi,

I've the i9020a model with cm10.1 and I noticed that few a weeks ago when I was on stock 4.1.2 I had no HSPA icon and my data would download perfect but now on cm data only downloads when the icon is on HSPA and doesn't work when the icon shows 3g network.

I don't think the problem is the carrier (i live in colombia) because the bands are the same in which the nexus works (850/1900).

What do you recommend me to do?

Thanks a lot!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark_Eyes_:
It's perfectly normal.

In stock android the icon always indicates 3g, it never indicates H (hspa) even when it is on hspa. On cm the icon changes to show the difference. But I assure you that even on stock android your network changes to hspa when you download a file. You can see it in settings-about phone-status. So everything seems fine to me.

Thanks for replying, now I understand :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spentar:
Bought the Verizon G2, brought it home, rooted it. So basically I have nothing but Super Su and a crap ton of bloatware haha! Any threads showing me how to make a backup of what I have now, then a tutorial on how to flash a new ROM? I just wanna be safe having a backup recovery of the phone basically all stock with root acess.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunit25:
You need to Loki first to get TWRP, check the Verizon sub for details. Once you do that you can make a back up of your current phone. Once compete, you can wipe data and flash a new Rom safely. Fyi, the flash takes a long time, just wait it out.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rfarrah:
I don't know what LOKI is, but if you're rooted then chose a recovery (twrp or cwm), install it, and then do a nandroid backup. Then you can flash whatever ROM or mod you want.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droid_<3er:
Pretty sure you don't need Loki...that's for devs only. TWRP is already pre-lokied for your convenience.

^Exactly. Though you should probably use TWRP.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZacharyKlein:
This generated some considerable debate on the Sprint web site prior to the release, so prior to buying the Note 3 I asked several Sprint reps using their web chat portal, twitter, and the local Sprint store.. ALL assured me that the Note 3 being sold would handle LTE at the 800 AND 1900 Frequencies...

However they are selling the model SM-N900P model which with the online spec sheets it says it supports only 1900 LTE but 800/1900 CDMA... I complained to several Sprint reps about this and mentioned returning it, only to be told I would face restocking fees since I've had it for a few days, as well as activation fees if I went to activate another phone.. I argued I didn't even get the phone until 5 days after the order, and I ordered it within an hour or so of it being available on the website, but they didn't seem to care and said their deadlines are set by the order date... That's a completely separate issue..

What I'm writing and looking for help/guidance from someone who will know more than me about cellphones is something a Sprint rep said.. I was told that he was 100% sure the Note 3 would work at 800 & 1900 LTE as Sprint will send out an update once that 800mhz frequency is activated on their LTE network.. A part of me thinks this doesn't make sense, as Samsung should note the capability on the box as being compatible with the frequency, but another part of me wonders if they are able to send a firmware update to the phone that modifies the LTE chip to operate at certain frequencies? I gave that Sprint rep the benefit of doubt because he claimed to own the Note 2 and that it operated at 800 & 1900 LTE...

Any thoughts? I appreciate any advice or info ahead of time!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tekara:
The model for Sprint that the FCC approved only supports 1900 LTE, it's in black and white on the papers filed with them which have been made publicly available here:

https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/repo...ame=N&application_id=134996&fcc_id=A3LSMN900P

Basically the reps lied to you out of ignorance.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZacharyKlein:
Pardon my ignorance, so you are stating you know for a fact they cannot use a firmware update over the air that would enabled 800mhz LTE compatibility?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordLugard:
How can they firmware update anything if the requisite hardware is not there?

It's not as if this information had not been floating about the web and XDA before the Sprint version was released. There have been several threads on this particular topic.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZacharyKlein:
That was my exact point to the Sprint rep, but he assured me it was doable... He had a Note 2 and claimed it would support the 800/1900 LTE bands through the same update method.... But not being versed in LTE technology I wasn't sure if it required separate LTE chips for different frequencies, or if the individual LTE chip could be programmed/updated to support multiple frequencies.. I know with some other forms of hardware, certain features come locked that can be unlocked through hacks and updates...

For example, the AMD Phenom II X3 was a triple-core CPU that through a hack, you could unlock a 4th core... There's plenty of other examples involving CPUs, video cards, etc, where the hardware came with certain specifications, but through hacks/updates, they were modified to enable additional features not originally listed.

Which is why I'm scratching my head over this... In the end, I won't doubt it for a second that Sprint pushed this knowing it would never support the 800mhz because they had a certain amount of stock to burn through, with Samsung planning to release an updated edition in the coming months with the curved screen and other capabilities...
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] chiilguy:
I just updated my HTC One to 4.3 today, things seem to work fine except that when I get a new text message, the contact picture for that user or sometimes all users of current texts disappears for a while than magically comes back. If I go into contacts, the person's picture is always there. Also, it is not consistent, sometimes it happens and sometimes not. Anyone else experience this after the update/any solutions? I did notice that during the update it said updatinig contact database.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] jj624:
Same is happening to me. It's not really a problem for me, I just close the app from the recent apps list and open it again and it's back to normal. Annoying but I can deal.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] jpzsports:
I'm having this same issue and it seems it's affecting all HTC One's running 4.3, not just T-Mobile. Any thoughts as to possible causes of this problem? I hope HTC becomes aware of it so they can fix it.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] coupetastic-droid:
This is weird. It's happening to my friend too. I don't have this problem though. I told my friend to clear data on s few apps like contacts, people, dialer, phone and messages. She said it was good for a day but today is back to the same problem. I wonder why some people have this problem and some don't.

Are you guys having problems with all contacts or just some? Maybe it's happening to the contacts that aren't backed up with google?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] jpzsports:
It's happening randomly on pretty much all contacts (and all my contacts are Google contacts). The only unique thing I have is that my contact photos are synced to my phone using HaxSync. For those of you also with this issue, do you use HaxSync?

I can't figure out what could be the cause of the issue. I contacted HTC and they just told me to clear the cache.

Others have been experiencing the problem here as well: http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-one/319268-sms-contact-picture-4-3-a.html

Some even performed a factory reset and the issue was still present so clearing the cache wouldn't be a fix.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] chiilguy:
For me, it does not matter if the picture is from my gallery (google pic) or sync'd to Facebook. It gives the same result. I have tried turning off Facebook sync but it does not make a difference. Given a little time, the picture always returns or I can go into open apps and "close messaging" and when I reopen all pictures are there.

After doing some research, I went into recovery mode and cleared system cache after a couple places suggested this after an update. Unfortunately, this made no difference. I was going to try a factory reset and let all my contacts resync, etc but don't want to do all that work if it is not a sure solution. This all worked just fine for me prior to the update. Hopefully, this will get the attention of HTC. Also, I have read in the last couple days that HTC is preparing another update that is hitting other countries first to move all HTC One's to Sense 5.5. It looks like as big a file as this past update so maybe a fix may be there?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] thevuman:
I have it too. HTC screwed up here. They'll have to address this in a next update. Lets all email HTC and let them know
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] megabiteg:
Hopefully they send us an update just as fast as they did with the HDR camera mode screw up, they latterly fixed it the next day.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ws6nightcat:
Count me in, same here, even tried wiping everything starting from scratch and not restoring anything
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] megabiteg:
OK, so I've been Tweeting with [MENTION=259357]Tmobile[/MENTION]Help and I advised that the contact pictures were from sync sources, they say that the pictures we have associated with the contact should be on the devices and this problem should go away. Though it makes sense, at the same time it doesn't make any sense to me.

If we have contact sync's and the phone lets you replicate that kind of data from whats stored on other servers, why should I have a local copy of the pics for it to work?... can anyone help me confirm the local pics thing?

Thanks!
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] jpzsports:
What do you use to sync your pictures? I use HaxSync. Not sure if everyone having issues is also using that or not. But either way, syncing photos is much more convenient than having to store individual photos for everyone on the device and it worked fine prior to the update so we shouldn't have to lose that ability. What's odd is how the photos are sometimes there and sometimes not. Maybe it has something to do with the linked accounts on those contacts? All of my contacts with photos have a Google contact and a HaxSync account linked together.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] megabiteg:
Do you use the HaxSync Jelly Bean Workaround ??? I haven't tried that software, it says that its for 4.1, doesn't mention anything for 4.3.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] jpzsports:
That's only for 4.1. 4.2 and above don't need it. I just tweaked something and my contacts photos seem to working so far. Not sure if it'll last but some of you may want to try it out.

In my contacts app, click up top left in the "Phonebook" dropdown. Unselect HaxSync and just leave Google checked. All of my contacts that are already linked are still showing their photos, and the issue in the messaging apps seems to be fixed (at least for the past 25 minutes).

Let me know if this helps anyone else.

My hypothesis is that those of us having issues with the blank contact photos in the messaging app have multiple items checked in the Phonebook dropdown.

EDIT: Nevermind.... :( the issue is back. I can't figure it out. It's gotta be a bug that needs to be patched.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] chiilguy:
Megabiteg: I have a few contacts that do not use Facebook so their pictures I take from things in my photo gallery. I have replaced them multiple times and it makes no difference. I think that was just the quick and easy "answer" from Tmo support.

Jpzsports: I tried your idea and only have Google checked in contacts app and I still have the issue. I am anxious to hear if this continues to work for you!

I have even gone so far to look at other apps that have permission to look at/modify contact information and disabling them or have them not interface with contacts and it has no effect.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] jpzsports:
That's interesting to hear that the issue still occurs even with photos from the gallery. That removes the idea that it's purely a synced photos problem.

And sadly my idea failed to work so it looks like this is definitely a bug that needs to be patched.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] megabiteg:
Thanks a lot for the follow up. I agree, I know that Tmo-support was pulling a fast one, initially they actually suggested me to pull the battery of the phone out and replace... (lol)

I think that this issue is connected to a contacts database corruption, I've always notice the the contact phone sync (regardless of the source) its kind of flaky, it must of gotten worse while upgrading. Funny because I chose to delete all the txt msg I had prior to upgrading (because I read this thread before hand) hoping this would minimize my chance of getting the issue but no.... it didn't work.

I'm going to keep on trying to figure out what else can I do to make this better until Tmo and HTC decides to fix it.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] chiilguy:
I hope that these posts don't seem unnecessary but I want to post what I have tried so others don't feel the need. I was playing with the contacts app and suddenly under phonebooks available (upper left corner pulldown) the sim card showed up, where it had not prior and the three contacts listed where the 3 contacts Tmo uses for you to check minutes, balance, whatever ( I never use these) I know I did not put anything to the sim so I deleted these and unchecked sim....no difference. I now have gone back and added sim to phonebooks (tho empty) to see if any difference.

Megabiteg: I agree with you saying about a change in the contacts database and I specifically remember during the update a message saying something to the effect of "updating/reformating contacts database".

Just another text, no change, it appears it does not matter what phonebooks are/are not used; the problem still exists. I am reluctantly coming to the conclusion that this is something HTC will have to remedy.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] chiilguy:
Did I just post that I would try not to post as much? LOL My experience got me to wonder if maybe the system was going out and checking the sim phonebook first (I would guess most people do not use it) and not finding an image and then after some lag going to contacts? So: I shut the phone down, took out the sim, powered up and went into contacts app and sms app (everything there), powered down and replaced the sim and rebooted.

Well, absolutely no difference. I am all out of ideas other than waiting for a patch...damn.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] jpzsports:
Is it just me or does the missing photo seem to affect the most recent person you text? (top of the messaging app)
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] stellarvelocity:
I have a theory that it is related to the Link Contact service. It doesnt seem to effect contacts who have photos on every linked account.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] thevuman:
It's still a bug that HTC needs to fix.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] megabiteg:
For me it usually affects everyone in the messaging app, but only when I receive a text message, not when I send.

I think your on to something, will try to unlink one of my contacts and see if it makes a difference.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] megabiteg:
Tried to test the issue with a contact that doesn't have anything linked to them, still same issue..... HTC needs to address this bug.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] jpzsports:
How do we notify HTC about this widespread issue so they can patch it? I've emailed tech support but they just give me silly advice such as clearing the cache, etc.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] jaggrey:
There's definitely a bug somewhere in the messaging app. I created a draft of a text (with no recipient) and saved it, call it "draft 1". I went to edit another pre-existing draft "draft 2" and instead of it saving a new copy of that draft, it overwrote "draft 1" so then I had two copies of "draft 2" instead of one of each, and I lost "draft 1".

Dunno if that makes sense. At least now I'm aware of the issue instead of going crazy knowing that I wrote something but being unable to find it.

Occasionally I'll also have issues of my texts not going out. The phone will say it's sent but they're never received. I'll either get subsequent texts from others saying I didn't respond, or I'll call and they'll say they didn't receive anything. Usually a reboot or toggling airplane mode will fix it.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] megabiteg:
I've been sending them messages via their twitter feed (at)HTCUSA but I plan to compile this information and sending an email to their support email to elaborate on the situation. Stay tuned, I will be posting it here.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] megabiteg:
This is a copy of what I've submitted to HTC and T-Mobile
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] chiilguy:
Megabiteg: Thank you for sending the well written synopsis to HTC. Let us hope that they take it to heart and watch sites like this. I have had a HTC phone from when Windows phone was the only option and believe they make a superior (and under-marketed) product. We will see if the support response lives up to this high standard. I also wonder if HTC recognizes these issues and this is the cause of the month long delay in updating the One on Verizon?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] megabiteg:
No problem, anything I can do to help.

I got to report that I got an immediate reply from a Tech Support Associate from HTC just requesting additional personal data and advising that they were going to check it out and contact me back for questions. Until now heaven't heard anything, but its only been a day.

I'll keep everyone appraised.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] jpzsports:
Not sure if any progress on this issue has been made, but I wanted to comment on another small thing I've been noticing that also relates to text messaging. When I send a text, occasionally I notice that for an extremely quick moment, something appears in the notification bar. It goes away too quickly to read it, but I never noticed that prior to the 4.3 update. Do any of you also experience this quick notification flicker when sending a SMS?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] jaggrey:
Yea I've seen that since the 4.3 update also. It's too quick for me to catch what it is but I always see it when sending or receiving an SMS.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] jpzsports:
Has any progress been made on this? Or has anyone switched to a 3rd party SMS app that they found useful?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] megabiteg:
As an update, I've gotten several emails from HTC advising that they have escalated the issue to engineering, but nothing else up to know.

I'll keep everyone posted.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] dinamael:
I've switched to Google Hangouts to manage SMS. Works great, no more missing sender picture, and I like the unified inbox for all my messaging. Not for everyone I suppose, but I'm quite happy w/ it.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] megabiteg:
Agreed. I've been using it for the last couple of days and I'm actually liking it more and more. I like that I have one place for everyone to contact me but I would like to see more features (like archiving the SMS to Google drive or something like that)

I haven't fully tested it (group sms/mms) but I do like what I'm seeing in it.

It's a good alternative to all the issues with the stock messaging app.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] jpzsports:
Quick question about google hangouts. I like that currently with the stock sms app, I get to read the SMS on the lockscreen thanks to Sense. Is that still possible if I use hangouts as my sms app?

Thanks
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] megabiteg:
Mmmm interesting question, I personally disable that feature but I'll double check and report back.

Edit:

So I did some tests and no, this fiction isn't available while Hangouts is the default SMS provider.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] jpzsports:
Anyone know if this issue has been fixed with the 4.4 update that has been released to the dev edition HTC One?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] megabiteg:
I haven't received any further information from the support ticket I created with HTC. I'll try to follow up and see.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] vahdyx:
Just got a HTC One and I'm seeing this problem. Annoying to the max IMO. Is there a fix yet?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] megabiteg:
Sadly, after several backs and forth's with HTC I never got a firm reply of any course of action, they never addressed if they would wait for 4.4 to fix it or what... very disappointed, but waiting, hoping that even though communication fell through the cracks they might fix it in their next release.

Personally, I've been using Hangout's and that's worked for me so far.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] vahdyx:
I use hangouts too but it doesn't remember what I want as default for MMS. It always asks me.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] BretskiSmith:
I am pretty sure this is an issue across the board. If it is a major annoyance maybe try a 3rd party SMS app for a while until they fix it. Some of them are really good and you might enjoy it.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] lazers378:
Same issue for me, i upgraded to 4.3 and now the contact pics in the sms application randomly appear and disappear. Been searching but cannot find a solution.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] thevuman:

[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] lazers378:
