"The highest SAR value reported ... at the ear was 0.638W/kg, and when properly worn on the body is 0.850W/kg."
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] gautman:
Thanks! I am assuming that is what is written in your safety guide that came in the box. In which country did you purchase the handset from?

It is strange really, here in India, the safety guide says - "The highest SAR value for this device is 1.59 W/Kg".

How can the SAR value for the same handset vary by such a large number in different countries? How is that possible?

It would be great if any others who own the P6 can confirm what they see in their manual / safety guide.

Edit: It appears that the differences in values could be because of different SAR standards (EU vs. US). If anyone who purchased this phone in the US could confirm this then i think that could be the reason for the different SAR values.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] klincharov:
It is from Austria.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] gautman:
Makes sense then, as per the following website, the SAR values in your manual are as per EU standards. Maybe the SAR US rating is 1.590 W / Kg.

Never dropped my note and always on a case... so I clean it off today and I notice that hair line crack by the s pen slot.. anyone get this?

As much as I love the note this has happen to my GS3 as well.. looks like oppo find 7 here I come.. note 4 better have better qaulity build. .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] siraltus:
Could be a stress fracture. If you ever carry your phone in your jeans pocket and sit down, it could have stressed the bezel enough to crack.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] markysd:
Yeah that could be.. sucks still.. I hope the n4 is not like the GS5.. kind of want to stay away from plastic samsung but I love the note.. looks like they didnt beef up that spot.. I took the back cover out and I can see its a thin part... :(

Anoyone know if this can be replaced? As in just that bezel part? Im assuming its built in part of the screen.. going to check out youtube disassemble
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] siraltus:
It's part of the chassis, you'd have to literally remove every single part from the phone, including the screen/glass, to replace it.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/OEM-Hous...lePhoneAccessories&hash=item19e3905929&_uhb=1

The display/front glass assembly is glued to the chassis so if you try to remove it, you'll likely break it, or at the very least get tons of dust under the screen. Sucks, but you just gotta live with it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] markysd:
Yeah I ordered a main frame... as for the screen its sealed in so no dust will be going under that as im not replacing the screen part.. replacing most of the part is easy just the screen part will have to take it easy.. I have the tools to do it.. I have taken phone my iphone apart so I have no fear lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] stevessvt:
I would call TMo about it, there is no obvious sign of abuse, looks like a manufacturing defect to me. Whats the worse they can say?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] markysd:
Idk about that as I bought it full price no contract on tmo and using it on ATT network, but I will Be going back to t mobile this year. .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] stevessvt:
Yeah, but you did buy it from T-Mobile regardless of payment or where it's used. Call them. Again, worst they can say is no, but maybe they say yes.....

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] chipworkz:
There was a thread just like this one and a few people had the same crack and said it was never dropped. It looks like it may be a stress point and just a weak point.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] markysd:
You use cases?

Yeah sure does look like a weak spot as you can see when you remove the s pen its thin area.. seems like they didnt beef it up a bit.. but yeah im going to replace my frame and baby it even more now..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lm that guy:
I do. I use one of the strongest cases which are the UAG's. Ive only dropped the phone once without a case by falling off the bed onto a tile floor. No noticeable damage to the phone aesthetics other than the line near the spen. But I don't think that little fall caused this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] markysd:
Are you going to fix it? Or just deal with it like that till note 4 comes out lol.. I do use cases and it covers the line crack but still I paid a lot for this and has not been a year old and this happens..I baby my note lol.. yeah ill give a tmobil a call and see what they can do.. worth a shot plus I bought a frame for 20$ should be coming next week..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lm that guy:
Doesn't bother me. When I first saw it I thought it was apart of the phone. But I will however trade my note 3 because my proximity sensor has been broken for a month now ?

What I didn't mention is this happened in a t-mobile store as I was trying this case on during my lunch break. Went back to store and they said there is nothing they can do, even with the manager there I pleaded. So a hairline crack will not be taken care of unless you feel like paying your $175 deductible or whatever it is.

Was wondering how I could update to 4.3/4.4 and switch to newer different rom. Do I need to reflash to stock rom and unroot first...then update thru tmobile...then reroot and install newer rom?

Or can I just install new rom over my old rom with 4.3 or kitkat?

Hey all,

Hope you can provide some assistance. I got an all-white icon set, and modified a few .pngs in Photoshop to add color to match my theme. Backgrounds were transparent, displayed transparent in Photoshop, still opened as transparent after I exported them for web as png-24s with transparency preserved. However, as soon as I drag the icons over to the root of my storage card, my phone (HTC One) displays the once transparent backgrounds as black. What gives? I've tried using Photoshop 7, Photoshop CS6, and GIMP with the same results. I'm I missing something?

Re: Alarm Application

I tried it for a few times and I do quite like it over the PocketWakeup, due to its (travel alarm) nice looking interface. However, I went back to PocketWakeup anyway. Reasons:

(1) Travel alarm does not include a vibrate feature

(2) There is always a thread/process of travel alarm running at the background, which I'm not sure if helps on my slow Charmer processing power and/or the battery life.

Hey guys,

Today is Nexus OTA day, Android 4.4.3/KTU48F. So, if history holds up, we'll be seeing GPE OTAs in about 2 weeks. This will obviously be the first OTA for the M8 GPE. I just want to put it on everyone's radar that if you get the OTA, please post the filename here. You can get it from logcat. If you get the OTA, but don't know how to get the filename, let me know and I'll help you out.

Thanks!
[One (M8) General] oldblue910:
So, I'm hoping someone here on XDA actually owns an M8 GPE (a real one, not a converted one) and will be able to help get the OTA URLs. Do I have any volunteers? Thanks in advance!
[One (M8) General] graffixnyc:
What's the difference if it's a real one or converted one? The ota will be the same.. The URL will be the same... The file will be the same.. It shouldn't matter if it's a real one or a converted one (which in the system's eye there is no difference between a converted one and "real" one.)
[One (M8) General] oldblue910:
By "converted", I meant people who are just running a GPE ROM. If there's a full conversion that allows you to use the bootloader and radio as well, and allows you to accept OTAs, then yeah, by all means, help a brother out!
[One (M8) General] graffixnyc:
Ahh OK.. Yeah, I did the full conversion (my thread is in dev) I have a fully converted gpe (radio, bootloader, recovery etc..) So when the ota drops I'll post a link for ya if someone doesn't beat me to it.
[One (M8) General] oldblue910:
Much appreciated.
[One (M8) General] mrRobinson:
hey guys. So I have a "real" GPE from google. I've been reading a lot around here as my only past experience is with samsung and nexus devices so this is a bit different.

It's also hard cause there is much more info on the carrier devices and hard to sift through and see what applies to the GPE variant.

So I've learned my system partition is different. I can look into that further I'm pretty good on samsung on messing with stock images and adjusting them.

Bootloader unlock is trivial on GPE, fastboot oem unlock.

I flashed twrp and rooted.

Last thing is s-off. Is s-off easier on GPE like bootloader unlock or would I still need firewater for it?

To the point of this thread, when an OTA comes out will that effect s-off? I imagine it'd remove root but I believe I can edit the image to retain root and flash with TWRP easy enough, I've done it on samsung and nexus devices enough.
[One (M8) General] PunishedSnake:
How's the gpe radio compared to tmobiles?
[One (M8) General] oldblue910:
It definitely shouldn't affect S-OFF, but as with any OTA with any device known to man, it will kill root. But since you have an unlocked bootloader, you can just reroot after the OTA flashes. :good:
[One (M8) General] mrRobinson:
I'm on wifi only right now. I ordered an isis sim so i'm waiting on that before moving my number from the nexus 5.

and for s-off I still need firewater then... gpe doesn't make that any easier correct?

I really dont mind s-on currently, I have xposed, and modules running just fine. I just feel like I should do it, just in case.... I'll have more options in the future.
[One (M8) General] oldblue910:
Correct. The GPE only allows unlocking the bootloader. S-OFF is not available through officially sanctioned channels.

Thank you!
[One (M8) General] gagdude:
The actually don't outright state it's being staged, the text is up for debate.

However, I highly doubt Google will ever use staged rollouts again. The reason why they did previously was because they'd release a new version of Android pretty much the same day they announced it. This year they took an "Apple" approach, and I actually thought they did this to eliminate staged rollouts; after several months of a DP there should be no reason to.
[One (M8) General] cadialex:
Staged roll-outs were made to avoid the kind of mistake Apple did recently (for instance when they sent an OTA that disabled 3G on some phones).

As there has been a preview for developers, Google has had many people to test the L update and minimize the amount of bugs the system faces. That way they can easily release the next version of Android without stages.
[One (M8) General] oldblue910:
I think y'all are missing the entire point of WHY they do staged rollouts in the first place. It's done for one reason and one reason only. Damage control.

If there's some kind of major problem with an OTA, it's better to only have 5,000 people with the problem rather than 20,000 people. They can shut off an OTA mid-rollout if need-be. That's why they do it. It makes all the sense in the world. With a major Android upgrade like Lollipop, you can bet your asses that the OTA updates for every single Nexus and GPE device will be staged, as it should be. That's the responsible thing to do.

And before you say "well, as soon as one person gets it, the link is all over the Internet, so what does it matter if it's staged or not," keep in mind that even with GPE or Nexus, most owners of these devices aren't us. They're not spamming the refresh button whenever there's an OTA update. Most people couldn't care less if their update takes a week to show up.

In the end, no amount of internal testing can make up for releasing an OTA to the public. End users are always going to catch problems that aren't caught internally. As someone who's been in software developement for 15 years, trust me when I tell you that these things always happen and that's just the nature of the beast. Staged rollouts help hedge against that.
[One (M8) General] coleburns:
This is probably not the right thread but can someone tell me if firewater for s-off is still supported. I got a new htc (o2 UK) but firewater does not work for my device. The s-off threads have all dried up since April. Or can someone point me to another method of coverting the phone to a GPE

[One (M8) General] TheManii:
If they held it back until christmas they could easily do that for nexii + androidone + wear + gpes.

I would be surprised if apple didnt effectively do that, they dont need to test a lot of features in older devices since they intentionally disable features on old devices with new updates.

Goog chooses to announce release this month, if they chose to instead announce release for next month: we wouldn't know the difference really.
[One (M8) General] jmkhenka:
I read in the Nexus 7 2013 thread that updates are pushed to the 15'th due to unforseen bugs in the source (on Nexus), so that would imply same delay ofr M8 GPe aswell.

It's a matter of weeks now, everyone just sit tight. Not even the review-software N6/9 came with was very good and they got a 800mb update OTA sunday - same day as embargo.
[One (M8) General] AnimusVoxx:
The bug has been squashed, they are resuming otas today.
[One (M8) General] Rouz.:
Any source? I thought it was delayed until 12 Nov.
[One (M8) General] jmkhenka:
there is not a single device that has got 5.0 yet besides n6/n9. OTA's will START on 12th unless there is a new showstopper. If there *was* a device out there with 5.0 the OTA-files would be in the wild, but alas not.

And that's for WIFI devices and not Nexus 5 etc. They might start OTA for them at the same time, but I doubt it. They will most likely get it a week later.
[One (M8) General] xthetobsl:
Hope that you are right :) I am too exited!!!!
[One (M8) General] TheManii:
The bug got squashed, so they're magically going to release an updated build now?

It's like they don't need to test for bugs at all, given how the initial KK rollout was a bit of a mess due to multiple critical bugs being found one after another and requiring canceling otas and waiting for another hotfix.

The only way anything would get an ota any time soon now is if the bug didn't affect it. Goog may simply hold back devices that are affected and do waves of release. New devices (the N6/9/P right now) only get otas because if they didn't, they'd still be on prerelease roms that are effectively late betas.
