And yes, I already tried holding it near a bright light while pressing volume down + power. I just want my photos / videos back.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] stevedebi:
Are you using the HTC Stock charger? Maybe the charger is the problem. If you can't get that battery charged, you are out of luck. You could take it to a repair shop and maybe they could fix the battery. If you send it in to HTC they will swap it out.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] bloodymurderlive:
Thanks, but for a while there, no chargers were working. Then randomly, my car charger started working. But, it kept just restarting, as if the power button was being held down. I use a pocket knife to wiggle the power button, and it booted up. Something must have gotten in the crevices of the device somehow, no idea how.

I've figured out how to get certain chargers to work if they're positioned just right, but it's still a pain cause it sometimes will still act as though the power button is being held down and I have to wiggle it around... not an easy task when the button is flush with the body.

You know if it's possible to take open it up and make sure everything is clean? Probably a bad idea, right?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] stevedebi:
I've seen posts where the person has taken them apart, but it is not something I'd want to do. You might try some compressed air on the power switch - maybe you can blow out that speck of dust or whatever. Might be worth a try...
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] bloodymurderlive:
Thanks, that's a great idea. Still... If the phone really was dead, I'm really surprised that there's no possible way to recover the data! If a desktop computer dies, you connect the harddrive to another device and your data is safe and sound.

Smartphones seem to be a new level of risk that we're not used to!

checked pm?

i think problem is in charging port , so if you can fix that , you can recover your files
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] FrankthaTank:
My phone screen was cracked this morning and the store said it would have to go through insurance for replacement. My phone is rooted and was looking for what needs to be done. I did a backup with TWRP and backed up all user files and system data with TI-Backup. My main questions are:

1. Do I need to set my phone back to stock, unrooted, and lock the bootloader? Easiest way to do this if so?

2. Are there any new updates/hboot that will make it harder to unlock and root the replacement? This one was unlocked and rooted with 1.29.651.10

Thank you
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] FrankthaTank:
Okay Replacement came and hboot is 1.44, software version 1.31.651.2

Going to try unlocking and rooting the same way as before.

As for the old one I gues deleting any root apps like superSU and flashing a stock rom will get it locked and unrooted again?

Any help appreciated.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] FrankthaTank:
Since the new phone is 1.31, could there be issues restoring my 1.29 nandroid backup? Or should I so a rollback to stock 1.29 first?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] luigi311:
As far as I know you can't restore a1.29 nandroid if your updated to1.31 due to touchscreen drivers being updated. You would be able to flash it on but have no touchscreen at all
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] davidwritesmusic:
If i'm not mistaken, 1.31 isn't the 4.3 update with the new firmware. The build for 4.3 is 3.04 so you should be fine restoring your nandroid. You shouldn't run into any touch screen issues.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaertesSon:
I'm trying to root my Nexus 4. I got the tool for it (which seems to have a backup feature) but I was wondering what the best thing to do is so I can get my phone exactly the way it was before I rooted and cleared the data without too much trouble. Again I want to have everything back including the apps, SMS, pictures, app data.

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badboy47:
Carbon will back up apps and app data (does NOT require root), Google takes care of the settings. As for pictures, just attach them to a computer via USB and copy them over.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaertesSon:
Thanks! Anything for SMS Backup? I've found a few apps but what is commonly used?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badboy47:
The app i mentioned in my first post also backups SMS and contacts.

I usually use Super Backup : SMS & Contacts it works great to backup contacts / sms / call logs / Bookmarks / Calendars. By default it backups to the internal storage. Just copy those files to your computer. After you finish rooting/unlocking, copy back the files to your phone and restore it using the same app.

You can do this with Nova launcher (prime).. but you have to get their tesla unread plugin or an app called Missed It. They are paid though..

I think ADW launcher has a plugin that does something similar as well.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
I agree with OP. Just because it's on the play store doesn't mean anyone can find it. You need to figure out the keyword for finding the relevant apps, which isn't always obvious. If you don't want to answer, just don't. No one is forcing you, so stop acting all high and mighty.

Hi, guys! I've been curious recently, and tried to divide my SD card into ClockWorkMod Recovery (Advanced --> Partition SD Card), and for now I have one question: how to undo that action? Is it enough to make a factory reset (with "format SD-card" option checked) to undo all the changes I've done or am I supposed to do something else?

Hey guys I have been having an issues with installing the update through OTA, I have wiped my phone, cache, and even uninstalled SS. Any idea why I cannot take the OTA update?.. Or is it better not to even take the update?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tech_head:
Did you remove any bloat when you rooted?

It has to be put back. Factory reset does not do that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] typemgtst:
Same thing happened to me. I just downloaded the no wipe image from the development section and flashed via ODIN. Then rooted. Others have said that hooking up your phone and updating via KIES works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DemonSoul1996:
Yeah problem is I can't update thought kies I am using my brothers s3 to teether and my phone to take update and it's getting confused. Also I don't really have the internet right now to download the whole Odin file. Think I did uninstall a few bloat ware apps how would I go back to adding them XD
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tech_head:
There is a thread with a pull of the system. You will need to manually put them back.

I never debloat by removing apks. The hassle of needing to put them back is just not worth it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
You've got to have a lot of files in their original unmodified state before you can take the OTA update.

One example - if you've installed any of the updated drivers that allow Wallet to work, the update will fail.

The following list of files must be intact and original if the update is going to work. It's a long list:
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AhsanU:
The amount of frustration I've gone through within the past three weeks is ridiculous. I originally purchased a C6903 model and expected it to work on my AT&T LTE network, and it didn't. I fully acknowledge that that is completely my fault for not doing enough research and just willy-nilly buying it. It became apparent that we US customers need to wait for the C6906 model, which Canada got very recently (and the Sony stores in Canada got today).

Seeing as how Canada got it, I was expecting the USA to get it as well. I mean - we got the original Z, why wouldn't we get the Z1 as well? It's a much better phone than the Z, and based on these forums - it looks like there's a bit of a demand for it here in the US as well.

I am fortunate enough to have Canadian friends that are willing to ship the phone to me, great! I contacted multiple Bell, and Rogers stores and a few of them said that they don't have any in stock, and one of them said they'll be getting some today (as of 10/18). It also appears as if the phones from Bell/Telus are carrier locked, and in order for Bell or Telus to unlock it, you have to pay a fee - fine. The fee is $60 CDN for Bell and whatever for Telus. My friend heads over to the Bell store this morning only for them to say that 1) they don't have it in stock, and 2) they are only willing to unlock it to Bell customers. Wtf?

I also contacted the Sony store in Markham, Ontario, only for them to tell me that they'll have none left for the open public as of today because they're all reserved for pre-orders; and that they'll be getting more soon for those who didn't pre-order. One store told me they'll be getting some next month, and another store told my friend this morning that they expect to get some next week.

Why the hell is Sony not releasing this amazing phone in the US? We shouldn't have to be jumping through so many hoops to get a phone that was released in Europe a while ago. I read in a recent article that they're trying to focus on the European market and not on the US for some silly reason.

So I guess now I'm going to be placing an order through the Sony store in Canada and will hope that they'll get a shipment in soon. I can't even imagine what some of you that live in the US are going to have to do in order to get one. And i completely realise that this is more of a rant than a question, I just thought I'd share my experiences with you guys.

But here's an actual question: how will you US guys grab a C6906 model?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aridoasis:
Might not just be Sony's fault... the carriers would be in on it too. When Rogers announced they wouldn't be carrying the BB Z30, customer pressure forced them to do a u-turn.

I guess maybe carriers are not seeing a high enough consumer interest to subsidize the phone.

*Just my 2 cents
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -DM-:
the only place I saw that was listing the C6906 was here, I don't how reliable that site is, maybe somebody here knows more about it or if anybody picked one up from there?!?

If anybody tries, let us know...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AhsanU:
I called them a while ago, they are a business located here in the US and they are in fact not carrying the C6906 model, they are carrying the C6903 model. They may have been able to grab the C6906 model recently, but I heavily doubt it. I'll give 'em another ring soon.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -DM-:
That would have been too easy and too good to be true then for us in the states to grab one ;)

edit: just talked with overseas electronics...

No sorry C6906 is coming in Nov we do have the C6903

You (click to change)

so you'll have the C6906 unlocked by november then?

yes

do you know around what time exactly?

no sorry
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AhsanU:
Figures. They said they'd have it "around October" when I called 'em a month ago. At this point, I may end up becoming completely frustrated with Sony and just grab a Nexus 5. At this point, it's looking like a viable choice if a few rumours regarding the battery are true.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] totaltoanage:
Just wait, itll come out sooner or later. Later will mean it will be cheaper.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stealthj:
It's coming to carriers in time for the holiday season.

I made the switch to T-Mobile and service is amazing and i just found out i'm about to have unlimited data in like 100 countries no roaming fees.

Check if tmo is good in your area, and switch.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smfa1965:
Man, glad I saw this post. Just ordered mine today from WElectronics not really getting all the different model numbers. I'm on ATT and ordered the C6903 so just sent them an email asking to cancel/switch to the C6906 when they have it available. I see it costs more but that's ok. Hopefully they'll allow me to switch and wait.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithwalton:
The only difference in model numbers is which 4g frequencies the phone supports.

Since the USA & Canada use a different set of frequencies to the rest of the world you have your own model number.

02 = 3g only

03 = 4g lte rest of world

06 = 4g usa/canada

The only band that 03 is missing is lte band 17.

Since the radio is part of the qualcomm soc package the usa model will have a slightly different soc.

qualcomm are still short on supplies and the chip used in the z1 is very popular (it's also in the note 3, nexus 5, LG G2, Z Ultra and some lumia's) sony maybe having trouble getting enough usa spec chips to fulfil demand they're already using 2nd rate chips as it is. (2.15GHz instead of 2.25GHz)

As for which market they're focusing on though .. Europe has a much larger Android user base vs ios than in north america, sony is still only a small player in the android market but they have ambition
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thepanttherlady:
I'm using the C6903 on T-Mobile and I get LTE or HSPA+ depending on the area I'm in.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sean473:
No issues for T-Mobile... The really problem is for AT&T versions.. I can't understand why they couldn't add the 700MHz band to the Z1 C6903 model... That would have simplified a lot of these issues...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CollinFX45:

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mneimeyer:
As an "exercise in personal growth" (and also to let the rooting, rom, Knox, stuff shake out) I'm giving it a go staying stock.

It actually isn't half bad and I'm down to two last minor problems that I can't figure out and I'm hoping someone has some wisdom to impart.

1. How do I disable automatic contact linking? My business partner and my company got linked because they shared both an address and a phone number. I fixed that but I don't know what else has been auto-linked. (Even just within Google contacts... I'm not talking about Facebook/Google linking but I wouldn't want that either)

2. How can I get the weather to show on the Lock Screen? CyanogenMod it was "just there" (at least I don't remember having to add it)

Thanks in advance if anyone can help!

P.S. As I mentioned I'm trying to stay stock if possible. I realize I could probably do at least the weather with rooting and installing something and I am open to rooting if absolutely necessary.

flashing a FTF will remove the custom recovery and root but not lock the bootloader, but you can lock it with flashtool or by restoring the TA bckup

Yay! Seems that changing the build.prop according to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1766479 did the job. No encoding for the SMSC is needed. At least, that's how it worked for me.

I assume the problem was a) encoding the smsc number and b) ro.telephony.gsm-routes-us-smsc was set still to 1.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 5319567:
Hi there,

So I've wiped it completely ending up with no OS installed on it, i have nothing on the SD card (Internal storage in this case).

When i boot it up, it just stays on the HTC logo.

Im using a mac, so when i connect it to, Android File transfer pops up trying to recognise it, but in the end it doesn't.

My question is, how do i get my computer to recognise my phone so i can put a zip onto it and flash it.

I've seen people saying adb, but i have no idea how to use it, or what it is kind of, i know its something to do with terminal?

Any help?!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ra9b:
I have never tried ADB with a mac, but what i would do for my windows is first download and install the fastboot drivers. then, you should make sure that you still have a custom recovery image (CWM, TWRP, etc.) if you dont, then push one via adb (google it, there are billions of articles.) Then, i would install zip from sideload from the recovery. I know that CWM has an option like this. Some recoveries have an option to mount your phone as USB storage, allowing you to drag and drop roms from your computer to your phone's SD card and then you can just flash the rom from your sd card. Make sure you do a full wipe before flashing. (factory reset data, format system)
