Ya Just bought my phone around 4-5 Hours and They gave a Free Flip Case (Very good and magnetic type) and a Screen Guard (Not of that phone, so removed it and putted another one). Great Phone!!!! But I got camera issues when using Flash...:( Got Some Bluish pics so going to HTC Service Center and replacing it....:silly: Otherwise a great phone!!:laugh::good:
[Desire 816 General] sandeeppathak007:
This camera issue is during night or day....
[Desire 816 General] samarth05:
The Real Issue was that the plastic of the back which was also covering the flash and generated the Bluish Pics which i didn't noticed (cause I was using Flip Case:p and when I went to the service center today, they removed the back plastic coating and WOW!!!!!!!!!:laugh: The PICS ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!:D:D

Use a Mat Finishing to the back or Cut the Lens Part Of the Plastic so the body remains good...:):)

SUCH A GREAT PHONE! LOVE IT!!!!!!!:D

i was using rum runner to s off my HTC 816 INDIAN DUAL SIM VERSION but it failed and my device turned off itself and not turning back on..

When i plug in the usb .. and open cmd promt and enter the command Adb devices then it shows device offline.

I cant get into bootloader .hboot or flashboot.. The device is totaly dead .or bricked.. and not turning on..

Even when i plug my charger.. Its not charging and the red led light is not glowing.

MY DEVICE WAS ROOTED AND I HAD TWRP RECOVERY. AND WAS ON STOCK ROM.

What to do now??

Please help me out:crying::crying:
[Desire 816 General] Grarak:
your hboot is probably corrupted

I had the same problem

There are two ways now:

1. Use JTAG and RIFF box to recover you hboot emmc

2. Go to HTC service center

Tell them during a software update your device shuted down itself and didn't turn on anymore

I chose the second way and got a mainboard replacement for free
[Desire 816 General] sandeeppathak007:

How did you achieve that mine hardly last for 10 hours

I had it charged at 3 am and went to sleep woke up at 12 and it's down to 63%
[Desire 816 General] palimatix:
Have you disabled "Scanning always available" from Wifi settings --> Advanced?
[Desire 816 General] hongaun:
Is your bluetooth on? I realized on my set, bluetooth seems to consume a lot of power, even if its not paired with any nearby devices.
[Desire 816 General] sandeeppathak007:
Yes, but my wifi was on all the time as i had it connected to my home wifi

---------- Post added at 02:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 PM ----------

Nope no Bluetooth also i installed better battery stat and i could not find any app which is using my battery

Its unrooted /Stock firmware

software version 1.50.720.3
[Desire 816 General] Parth_14:
My power saver was on 24x7.

WiFi scanning disabled as mentioned above.

And make sure your location mode is set to battery saving. That's it. And yeah my auto rotation/sync were off all this while.
[Desire 816 General] sandeeppathak007:
Just changed the location mode to battery saving and my Auto rotation/Auto Synch is on

Does Auto Rotate also has any impact on battery ?
[Desire 816 General] Parth_14:
As far as I know, yes. And I don't like landscape mode either so I like to keep it of :D
[Desire 816 General] sandeeppathak007:
Ok let me follow your settings n see how it goes

Have you ever checked what is the battery down percentage over night?

Hello everyone....just wanted to know whether the volume buttons are very loose like mine...sometimes luks like it wll come out...

Mine is not loose

Also I noticed my standby battery is very high

Any thoughts
[Desire 816 General] ankitrb:
battery is awesome, it can easily withstand more than a day on moderate use. only thing is if ur cell is constantly searching for network the battery performance will decrease. overall i am happy with the battery
[Desire 816 General] sandeeppathak007:
What is your usage are you using one sim or two

I m using two sim one is Vodafone and other is aired WiFi on most of the time with auto synch n auto brightens

Right now 3 hour 22 min and battery is 77%
[Desire 816 General] ajeshmanu:
Yes battery is ok....it goes fast till 90% ...standby time is good
[Desire 816 General] sandeeppathak007:
This is what I get

Do you guys think that I shall take it to the service center
[Desire 816 General] palimatix:
the problem is not with h/w so service centre is not htat helpful. something is keeping your phone awake and i see there is BBM running. or it van be something else too thats installed and running in background perhaps using data too continuously. i suggest you uninstall the apps one by one from the most recently installed one and see at what time the phone starts sleeping. YOu need to try hit n trail method if u not sure which app can cause prob. You wil eventually get the culprit. Also make sure WIFI scanning always availables is turned off in advanced settings.

Let me know how it goes.
[Desire 816 General] sandeeppathak007:

I didn't changed anything hope this remain this way

Battery issues

My battery drains pretty quickly in standby mode, one instance couple of days ago at 10:30 pm the battery level was 94% and the next day morning at 6 am when i checked it was down to 34%:confused:, please suggest me on any solution you might know guys, also i've turned off the wifi thing that's already mentioned in the earlier posts. I've attached the screenshot too, i dunno if it's happened though....any quick help would be appreciated
[Desire 816 General] sandeeppathak007:
I had a similar issue but now what I m getting is as below

This is what I did

Disabled auto synch

Disabled GPS only switch on when needed

Disabled WiFi scanning always on

In location service choose the mode to be battery friendly

Enabled power saver (only cpu)

Installed snapdragon battery guru

Did let the battery die till 7 or 8 % and then charged completely

Hope this helps

Press thank button if helped

Hello, my question is simple... I bought the HTC One and it have android 4.1.2, the question is, can I RUU the Kit Kat update then unlock bootloader, root, etc... or is better RUU the 4.3 update and then unlock bootloader, root and flash ARHD 52???

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jh120:
Been using various CM11 nightlies for about 2 months now (currently d2lte 2/27 nightly) and with all of them I get very unreliable LTE. Went to bed last night with full bars of LTE and woke up with only weak 3G. This sort of thing has been happening daily (although not necessarily overnight) and sometimes I even get kicked down to 1X. Often LTE will be restored randomly during the day. This is all happening in places where I know I should be getting strong LTE, mostly at home.

Reboots/toggling airplane mode do nothing. I am on the ML1 baseband following the instructions here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1788313

Under Mobile Network Settings I've set the preferred network type to LTE/CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA (Global) and the CDMA subscription to RUIM/SIM.

Also the weak signal is destroying my battery life, which is almost worse than unreliable data. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, sorry for the newbie question.

Is there any ROMS available for the 4.2.2 MI1 build? I wanted to download the Hyperdrive but it's saying that I need the base 4.3 version.

I've tried to update the phone but for some reason, it keeps saying error when I try to update OTA.

How do I upgrade to the base 4.3 version?

Or how is there any ROMS available for the 4.2.2?

Sorry for the newbie question, I have tried the search function.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
you can download hyperdrive 10.2 which is the old 4.2 version. i think that's it for 4.2

if you want to update you need to unroot before you take the ota
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] danlnyc:
Thank you! That helps a lot.

So what I need to do is unroot, install OTA upgrades, reroot, install Safestrap, and then install Hyperdrive..correct?

It seems after the update around December, my unrooted Verizon LG G2 (Jellybean) doesn't push my email to my phone.

I actually have to go into the exchange account and manually refresh. I've seen a few threads here and there for this, but I'm surprised it's not getting more coverage. This is a major deal for me as I rely on my phone to get important work emails. If it can't push (and KitKat doesn't fix it), I would have to seriously consider giving up this phone....and that would be too bad because this is the absolute best phone I've ever had (aside from the lack of email push).:crying:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dipole:
I was previously using the $30 month TMobile prepaid but jumped at Note3, which I signed up for post paid Tmobile with jump. I don't really use that many minutes and want to go back with the $30 month. I don't want to buy the Note3, it's too much. Would it make sense to use my next jump upgrade at the end of March for a nexus5 or motox, buy it outright and then cancel Jump to go back to prepaid?

Just curious what the best strategy is, I am new at contracts
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] famous145:
I thought tmobile doesn't have contracts anymore ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] deeznutz1977:
They dont but i believe authorized resellers may still
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] phil.culler:
You don't have a contract, but you have to keep service until the phone is paid for. Of you are in the jump program then you still have an equipment installment payment until its paid off. If you want to cancel service then you have to pay the device off in full.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] flipq88:
Yeah just pay off the Note 3 and take off jump.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dangerous_dom:
I love my MDA more and more now. But after my first week or two i was begining to think i had made a mistake buying it. Thanks to the kind and helpful folk around here and other forums, i now have it doing everything i wanted it to do and in the way i want it to do it.

I use it for TomTom, playing DIXed DVD's, music, podcasts, games, the usual email/web duties and more. And thanks to the great WiFi 'G' reg hack i can now stream my large lossles FLAC files (with the help of fantasitc Conduits Pocket Player) right into my Hifi system, just like my Squeezebox 3 media player. It's actually much better than an ipod (albeit with less storage when out of the house - although i could access my music at home from a hotspot). A fully fledged media streaming device for free! :) (well, a small fee for Pocket Player and a 2.5mm to 3.5mm jack adaptor).

Not only does this hack also enable 'g' speeds, but i can confirm that it also massively increases performance on 'b' speed networks too (which mine is limited to due to being an 'adhok' network).

Sure, a faster proc, better camera and maybe even 3G would be nice. But i have no wish to ever make video calls or use Skype (i'm the geek of the group and no-one else i know uses it).

I understand there will always be better third party software (Media Player is an utter waste of space for example) but why should we have to make techy and annoying tweaks to the registry, just to get the best from the unit? Why the hell do we need to hack the reg just to make a basic settings change, such as hiding SIM contacts (which is an option in just about every mobile from the last 5 years).

Is it just bad planning? Poor thinking on the manufactures part? or is there just a genuine reason for 'hiding' these settings and not making them accessable from standard menu's?

The older i get, the less time i have to mess around so much. I have better things to do these days to be honest.

Surely they would have more to gain by activating the performance increases themselfs, rather than us more tech savy types to figure out how to alter the registry. Half the things this device has been slated for in reviews can actually be sorted, but the average (make that normal) buyers of this device will be feeling a bit short changed if you ask me.

I guess the only thing left for me to do now is dump the T-Mobile ROM and use a more slimline one. Or maybe i should just figure out who to lose some of the crap from my existing install?

What is it with these companies? Don't they know when they are on to a good thing? Or maybe, just maybe it to keep us coming back for more and upgrading year after year? Hey ho...

/rant over.
