[One (M8) General] jakesteed:
Not to beat a dead horse, but iFixit's M8 teardown reveals that the Snapdragon SoC and 2GB memory are both in single package...an Elpida-branded FA164A2PM (see the chip outlined in red: link)

I Google'd it but couldn't find definitive specs or a datasheet but I also realized the full product code is probably more like EDFA164A2PM-xxxx-x-x

Even without knowing the exact product number, Micron's chip labeling guide for Elpida clearly states that if the letter after "ED" is an "F", it's a DDR3 part! If it was DDR2 then the chip would be labeled "EDB"....

http://jp.micron.com/about-micron/about-the-elpida-acquisition/about-elpida-parts

So no need for further speculation--our HTC One M8 is equipped with LPDDR3 memory.

A question for those that have the m8. Are the speaker grills metal or plastic? Thanks

I like the old silver aluminum color. Gun metal looked to dark for me.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] timpollard:
In a fit of enthusiasm I ordered the PDAmods.com TomTom5 powered cradle for my SPV M5000, and I was remarkably impressed to have it turn up the next day. Works a treat too, but only now do I realise it *doesn't* have an inbuilt microphone for hands free call, like the spiffy GPSforless.co.uk one.

So, is there any way I can activate the mic to make hands free call with the cradle I've got, or am I going to have to bite the bullet and just buy the one with the inbuilt mic too?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] captainsensible2002:
The only way you can do it with the cradle you have is to not plug in the speaker mounted in the cradle (the lead that connects the cradle to the universals earphone jack plug). As soon as this is connected, although it enables the external speaker, it disables the internal mic, which stands to reason when you think about it. I find it quite loud enough without the external speaker plugged in to be honest...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anticloud:
In android 4.3.x - It looks as if Verizon has coupled the onboard (stand-alone) GPS toggle with Verizon Location Services - I assume other carriers do it too. I would like to use only the hardware GPS

I am looking for a developer to decouple the onboard GPS from Verizon Services - or re-add the stand-alone option in settings under location services - so we can opt to toggle just the hardware...

I did find a simple / straight forward hack - (using the 4.3 Note 3 / Verizon)

This turns on the hardware GPS only

0. Turn all location services off on your phone

1. ensure you are rooted

2. use SQLite to open the "Settings Storage" (com.android.providers.settings) database

3. Open the settings.db

4. Open the "secure" table

5. Modify the column "location_providers_allowed" and change the value to only read "gps" - without quotes. no other value should be in there

6. Close SQL lite

7. Reboot phone (or do hot start)

Test: Install "GPS Test" from play store, in a place visible to GPS satellites run the application after the phone comes back from reboot -

Tested On Verizon galaxy note III (MJ7 & E)

Note: Do not toggle any location services settings in your phone from this point forward. Yes, the GPS would be permanently on

This hack is good for -

1. anyone wishing to use any hardware GPS-enabled software (Copilot, Weather radar, GPS Test, etc)

Update: 3/26'2014 -

A free application called Power Toggles, by Painless Death, actually updates the location_providers_allowed entry, with "gps", described above. At the time I published this post, the Power Toggles (available through the play store) gps toggle feature did not properly update the database entry like in early versions of 4.3, now it is fixed.

So, if you wish to use your onboard GPS without Verizon location services or google location services, then install power toggles through the play store, and add the gps widget to your home screen, and the toggle will activate the hardware gps only...

I was trying to unlock my boot loader of my Xperia S. And everthing was ok.

But when I try to connect my phone on fastboot mode (connecting the USB while volume(+) is pressed) the computer recognize the device immediately how "qhsusb_dload". When disconnect the device after that, the phone only turn on with Power and Volumen(+) keys. After that, the phone still working ok, the problem only is present when try to connect to Fastboot mode. As extra information, I can connect the phone in download mode (connecting the USB while volume(-) is pressed) and the computer recognize the device how "S1 boot download".

I'm running on Windows 8.1 pro, also I try on Windows 7 professional, both of 64-bits.

[General Questions and Answers] ercxar:
Hello guys,

I've been searching recently to decide which phone will be my next phone in 2 months. The parameters for me to decide are, I keep the phone at least few years like my current SGS2 phone and I need it to stay above average. I know I may see better for next 6 months or so but I want to decide in this period. Money is not a factor.

I've been reading about new Knox for SGS5 and every poll in other websites I've read was saying they are not going to buy or they are not interested and disappointed!

I also read about another Galaxy S 5 named F series or Galaxy Prime! It's the same as Galaxy S 5 but with better specs and metal unibody!

I stuck to choose between these:

Google Nexus 5 (32gb, LTE)

Samsung Galaxy S5 (prefer 32gb but if it's available till then, LTE)

Samsung Galaxy S4 (I9505 LTE)

I also created a poll for the ones who are lazy to answer. :D

Any response, opinions are welcomed.:good:

Thank you.

EDIT:

I prefer removable battery because in my country any official repair center has no meaning and they are all in one that asks money for their services. So in few years period I need atleast one new battery as my previous experiences. And having removable battery is a factor. And having an SD card is but with 32gb version that would not be a huge problem but I prefer having removable battery and SD card slot.

I heard about nexus 5 battery life that as its best it would be average. Having a good battery life could be a factor too.

You want to go here - Device suggestion

Also since you haven't really mentioned any real requirements, I'd suggest going for the new HTC One or the Xperia Z2.
[General Questions and Answers] ercxar:
Thank you for mentioning that thread! :good:

I added a few ones now. I don't need all those new gimmicks that new galaxy series are providing but having them is not a bad idea! Also I prefer to feel the phone in my hands comfortably and I don't care about it's unibody or the quality of the body!

Extra features on S5 arent that amazing...Note 3 all the way
[General Questions and Answers] ercxar:
Previously I thought who would get Note series with those huge lcds! But now all the new phones have 5" lcd so they all are phablets IMO.

I really don't know about Note series you just add an extra option for me. Yeah the leather back is awesome even the features that S-pen brought if you don't consider the extra bucks for it but I don't need all those feature. I think I would stay with my current choices and won't add note to those.

Thanks for your suggestion I really appreciate it.

LG G2 is a good device. Take a look on it. Very good battery life camera processor and screen .... but it doesn't have a removable battery :/
[General Questions and Answers] gordon.shameway:
I would suggest the S5 as it has:

+ removable battery, which is IMHO very important

+ sdcard slot, so no real need for 32gb version

+ water resistance (ip67, half an hour under water)

+ hardware buttons

+ an IR-blaster

Regards!
[General Questions and Answers] ercxar:
Thank you for your suggestion. I was exactly looking at this phone on gsmarena right now! :D It has a good specs but I don't know why I don't like the way it looks! It's way too simple! It almost has the same hardware as SGS5. According to gsmarena G2 has only better battery life in idle! But we can't be sure with an unreleased phone!

It also don't have SD card slot. :D

If I'm going to add another option to my choices I would go with Sony Xperia Z2! I just love the way it looks and it also don't have removable battery and even SD card slot. lol:D

But anyways thanks for your suggestion I really appreciate it.:good:

The only things that makes me to stay away from this phone are the Knox thing and many uninterested people according to some of polls on which websites I've read, it makes it less popular and for us on xda that we all use custom roms, this would be a potential issue!

And another thing is the release date on April 11th and LTE version on release date. I want to buy it off-contract.

Hey mate. Long time no see!

Yeah nice I know. It really makes me to go and buy it right now! :p but I don't like it I don't know why! :(
[General Questions and Answers] Hopper8:
IMHO it depends on what sort of software you want to end up running. I love AOSP, so I'm planning to get Nexus 5. It's intended to run AOSP, so support, drivers and development will be awesome :D On the other hand, if you like running AOSP but buy a closed source (e.g. Exynos Samsung) then you're going to be compromised from the start. I see from your signature that you're on Slim atm, maybe keep that in mind if you plan on switching to AOSP.

I do like the look of the new HTC One though. :silly:

Edit: and, it is SD card expandable. No removable battery though.
[General Questions and Answers] MistahBungle:
And you posted this to I9100 Q&A why exactly ? Just because you currently have one is no reason at all, this thread belongs in one of the general chit chat forums, not a device specific one. I'm tipping mods move this.
[General Questions and Answers] ercxar:
I've never tried to choose my phone from software view! :D The only thing that matters for me is ability to root your phone. Cause I'm end up doing it anyway. The software is important too because of development, and new Knox thing for S5 makes it even harder except the fact that it's closed source. But afaik it has snapdragon 801 and they are not closed source, aren't they?

On the other hand reviews on Nexus 5 battery life worries me. Cause they said it would do average as its best and it's not a removable battery. I won't expand the battery but with my usage I end up with f*cked up battery and it needs to be replaced in first two years of use! Having or not having SD card is not a big factor with 32gb nand for me.

It's getting worse to decide a phone.

And looking at Sony Xperia Z2, I stuck between S5 and Z2. Buy with aosp and development of Nexus 5 software, I really don't know which one to get.
[General Questions and Answers] king_below_my_lord:
I would suggest going with a device that has "enthusiastic" developer's who unlike our poor devs doesn't have to deal with lots of proprietary headache, accordingly my most logical advice would be the Nexus 5, but again its not the high end configuration that attracts me its the dev support and update frequencies so if it was me I would still be happy with the poor mans Nexus ie. the beautiful Moto G, and if I had money to waste I would look at the Google Play Edition HTC One (M8).
[General Questions and Answers] ercxar:
Yeah exactly. The only thing attracts me to Nexus 5 is this. It's even easier and cheaper for me to buy Nexus rather than other phones that I'm planning on. But the fact that I need to hold on to this phone in next few years scares me the most! Maybe buying Nexus 5 now and see for consumer advice and reviews after releasing S5 in few months then change my phone again? It would be possible but money wise I don't think so.

I don't like HTC phones in rooting matter. Two of my friends had HTC and after rooting they hard bricked their phone!

I was hoping for S5 google edition? Fingers crossed.
[General Questions and Answers] Hopper8:
Root isn't everything... unless you want to be stuck with stock ROM and Xposed for the life of the phone, something I couldn't do. I want custom ROMs and especially kernels for my phone, the more the better. What if it's bootloader locked and not un-lockable? No custom kernel for you then. Have you had a look at the N5 forums on xda? More roms/kernels/mods than you can imagine :D :D
[General Questions and Answers] ercxar:
Yeah exactly. Fortunately I want to buy my phone off contract so it has a chance that bootloader is not locked on an specific operator!

You are making me to go for Nexus 5 but my heart says go for your true love which is S5. :D

I think I would wait until the S5 release date and see some actual reviews then decide. If I had a chance to be able to buy another phone in one year period, I'm saying this because if you buy new phone and sell it a week after the price would drop and in my opinion it's a real waste of money, I would definitely buy Nexus 5 then go for S5! It would be a win win situation. :victory::D
[General Questions and Answers] gippy2:
I have now the N5....I have to say its awesome...The development for this phone is top notch imo...I wanted a removable battery to start with but thats through old habits..Im a pretty hard user but not with games..Im running slimkat with elementalX kernel....Its so good...I found the LG G2 a touch to big for what I wanted...Good luck with your decision and who knows we may even meet up on the hammerhead thread....:D

Edit - I just couldnt go back to samsung...
[General Questions and Answers] ercxar:
Oh really? Are you happy with it? How about the battery life? As I said on previous posts I'm reading the battery life on N5 would be average at its best! I'm not a gamer on phone too but sometimes I just play to get the time past when I'm outside and bored.

Yeah in matter of development no other phone can even compare to N5! :D

I'm now really stuck between N5 and S5! I know the price is half of S5 but I really don't know! I like the new features in S5 specially the Camera and Ultra Power saving mode. But with Knox I don't know if any custom roms would be available even two months after release!

May I ask why you wouldn't go back to samsung? Just being curious. :D

I want to tell my friend in US to buy me a 32gb version with LTE for N5 and the same would be happen with S5! And I can see her approximately in next month! So till then I have a chance to see the S5 being released! But right now I'm feeling end up buying N5. lol :D:victory:

No need for separate forums. Verizon and Sprint each need their own (CDMA), but AT&T and T-Mo don't need them since International roms will be compatible with those phones.

Yes but for Samsung as well, We, Canadians have different models, but still we have to find a place where we can get our information.

I have a G2 right now and I know how painful it is when we dont have a separate section here but we have a different device model that is D803.
