[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshoon:
Hi all :)

At the moment I am trying to update my HTC One's recovery so I can install Android 4.4 ROM's, although it seems that this won't happen that easy for me.

As usual I wanted to flash the recovery.img in fastboot over adb, unfortunately, my PC doesn't seem to recognize the device when it's in fastboot mode, while it did worked before.

I've been looking around on the internet and the XDA forums for a possible solution, because it seems to be a common problem.

Unfortunarely, none of the possible solutions seem to work! Installing drivers, tried USBDeview, removing drivers, trying USB3.0 port, and I even tried a Mac system, with the same results.

adb works just fine when the device is booted in Android, but in fastboot mode, it's not recognizing the device anymore, this happens on my Windows 8.1 PC, and also on my Mac.

It worked before on Windows 8, but it seems it stopped working between the time when I upgraded to 8.1, but as I said, it doesn't work on Mac either, and I also tried a few possible solutions for this issue on Windows 8.1 (which is common), but it all didn't made any sense.

Right now, I have no idea what could solve this issue.

I hope anyone could help me.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipfreelytech:
windows 8.1 does break fastboot it will work on windows 8 but not 8.1!

the newer hboots, 1.55+ or the 1.54 that was included with the 4.4 GPE update do work on windows 8.1. but of course to update hboot you have to have working fastboot access.

you may have missed something when setting up fastboot on your mac. I haven't worked with adb or fastboot on mac so I can't offer much help there.

best bet is if you can get access to someone's windows 7 machine or just spin up a VM
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshoon:
Thank you for your reply.

So you are telling me it should work on Windows 8 but not on 8.1?

Because on my Macbook I also have Windows 8 running in a VM, and that doesn't work either.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaHiLzZ:
why not try windows 7?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshoon:
Well, I think I will be left with the same result, since it worked fine on Windows 8 before... And it should work on Mac too, right?

Isn't there any other way to flash the new recovery without going into fastboot?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshoon:
I've been able to flash the recovery via TWRP Manager from the Playstore :D

The fastboot issue isn't fixed yet, but I can atleast enjoy Kitkat :)

Some Googling say it might be due to a function that is called by two different threads at the sametime, maybe related to Bluetooth from what is shown. Also the first file you post have a lot about the qualcomm sensor error(?) as well.

It also help if you mention the rom and kernel you're using. Since you're on 4.2.2, maybe an update to kitkat could solve the issue.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flyin18T:
Thank you very much for your response. I'm running miui v5 port. It's a 4.2 Rom. Using default kernel that came with Rom......Franco I believe. I've tried a few different kernels and problem happens same way. The correct logcat is the one shown as attachment. Thank you again.

full wipe and install the lastest miui. flash modem .84 and if still happens, along with logcat post the last_dmseg (/proc/last_dmseg or something like that).so we can see if its rom or kernel problem.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flyin18T:
I appreciate the feedback. Is there something you see in the logcat that leads you to believe a wipe is in order?

app crash at boot is not a good thing.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flyin18T:
The app crash occurred after the phone rebooted from the initial lockup/crash. Either way, it doesn't sound good. I'll get going with wiping and reinstalling. I'll follow up tomorrow with results. Thanks again.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mitchellaneous:
I know I'm more likely to find my answer posting in the thread for the ROM that I'm using but as a new user apparently I can't post in that forum at all. I know the issue I'm having is common with GE 4.4 ROMs, but after having read through threads for more than one of these ROMs, I seem to be the only one having this specific issue.

I'm using the Dandroid 4.4 GE ROM, though I had this same issue with one on the 9505 dev forum too. Even after flashing the updated modem.bin, I'm unable to get 3G service to work at all, at least not for long. I'm not talking about just data either - if I'm in an area with no LTE reception, and anything other than 2G service is selected, I won't get any signal whatsoever. If LTE is available and selected, it'll work, though my signal doesn't seem to be as strong. If I have the phone scan for mobile networks and actually select T-Mobile, 3G service will work briefly, but after only a few minutes it drops out completely and never comes back.

So did I flash the wrong modem or do something incorrectly somewhere along the line? Anyone else having this issue?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mitchellaneous:
Nevermind, I think I solved my own problem. I guess the modem.bin had never flashed correctly, I reflashed it last night, twice, and it seems to have stuck.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipfreelytech:
Seems to be related to the GPE roms. 4.3 had a similar issue. Perhaps HTC frameworks or some kind of bloatware garbage ?

I did some testing with CM 11 over the weekend and battery life was amazing compared to GPE. Android system barely used any battery.

Unfortunately both 4.4 GPE and CM 11 have the exchange email bug so I'm back to 4.3 GPE for now.

Yes, I am using the same rom. The battery seems worse than 4.3

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saibogu009:
Yeah, I had CM11 on before this and battery was pretty good, but that rom wasn't playing nice with the 4.4 camera and ART so thought I'd try this one out. Back to a CM based one it is then...

Any recommendations?

Thanks.

Make sure there aren't any wake locks or unnecessary syncing. Give 4.4 several charge cycles to to get the battery adjusted to the new firmware.

[G2 Accessories] WhiteZero:
Before even picking up my G2, I purchased the Incipio DualPro as a starter case. After a couple weeks with it, I bought an Otterbox Commuter. And I must say, I prefer the Otterbox hands-down, even though the cases are fairly similar. Here is why:

Both cases use a silicone slip-cover with a hard shell exterior. On the Incipio, the silicone case feels very floppy while the Otterbox is actually quite sturdy and rigid feeling for a "soft cover." The cover on each surrounds the phone and provides an area around the top that raises the phone's screen off of the surface if you have it face-down. This raised front is a bit higher on the Otterbox too.

The hard shell on the Incipio only holds the left and right sides of the soft case against the phone, while the top and bottom sides are left to flop around. This is my biggest disappointment with the Incipio, as the floppy cover gets tugged around alot while pulling the phone from your pocket.

And of course the Otterbox has some nice port covers for the USB port and headphone jack; though they are a little fiddly to close all the way.

The back of the Incipio doesn't cover the rear buttons at all, it's just left open, which could be nice if you like the feel of the G2's buttons as they are. But with the Otterbox, the buttons are covered and I think actually gives a better feel for where the power button is. Both cases also feel only slightly more grippy than no case. The Otterbox probably feels a bit more slippery than the Incipio, but not by much. And the Incipio feels like it sticks in the pocket worse. The Incipio also seems to hold on to lint/dust from pockets far worse.

Lastly, the Otterbox feels decidedly like it would protect the phone much better than the Incipio. On the exposed soft cover parts of the Otterbox on the sides, you can actually squeeze them and feel the air-gap where shocks would be absorbed. The Otterbox actually dampens the phone vibration feature a bit, so you can really tell it could take a drop. And it dosen't feel at all more bulky than the Incipio because of it.
[G2 Accessories] xdafoundingmember:
Yea the otterbox it's solid but it ruins the feel of the phones slimness. ..I guess I will use if I ever go rock climbing though
[G2 Accessories] zathus:
I'm not quoting that lol but I agree the one issue with the duelpro is the soft rubber on the bottom. Tops not to bad but it could definitely be more ridged.
[G2 Accessories] tiguy99:
Thanks! I was waiting for this thread as i was considering buying an incipio case a month ago
[G2 Accessories] evasi0n:
Thanks!

Some pictures?
[G2 Accessories] thecycleoflife:
Interesting. I have the Verizon version and the main reason I got the Incipio Dual Pro is because the soft inner silicone portion of the case covers up the smaller back buttons. This makes it easier to discern the smaller Verizon power button from the volume buttons.
[G2 Accessories] WhiteZero:
Someone post some pic of the Otterbox here. And the pics on Incipio's site are spot-on I'd say.
[G2 Accessories] dakster111:
Yeah the rubber top and bottom is a little annoying in gathering pocket lint, but otherwise id say I like the incipio a little more because it feels smoother in my hand.

How does the phone attach? With the nano-suction material (the "special foam" they list)

Damn that sucks, I found the kickstarter page and there they are listed for retailing for $95, with early backers being able to get it for $75, while Amazon has it listed for $65. That makes me think that the Amazon page is more recent or has been updated at least. So there may still be hope, I just emailed the founder and asked if the project was still alive and for an ETA.
