The "I just ordered an M8 but I'm impatient and want to post about it" thread

For anyone in that wonderful state of limbo known as "waiting," this is your thread. Feel free to periodically give updates on your order statuses and when you receive the device so others may go off of that information. I'll just go ahead and start it off.

Order Date:

March 26, 2013 at approx. 4:00 PM

Status: Picking

Estimated Shipping Date: March 26, 2014

Estimated Delivery Date: March 27, 2014
[One (M8) General] djkinetic:
U are far from limbo considering u have an estimated delivery date.
[One (M8) General] jtc276:
The entire point of this thread is to exaggerate the woes of waiting for something to be shipped. These are on every devices' forum when they're released. Obviously "limbo" is complete and total hyperbole.

I ordered mine at 10pm in UK b/c I ordered past their cut off time for next day delivery I have to wait until Friday and its killing Me.
[One (M8) General] luar949:
What provider? I ordered mine from AT&T yesterday afternoon and so far no update at all on shipping :(
[One (M8) General] surge27:
I ordered a dev edition pretty close to launch time...chose overnight shipping. Called HTC for eta and they said it is on backorder until 4/3 but my status online says I'll get it 3/26. Well, today's 3/26 and now says estimate delivery 3/27. Weird..

I heard from another person who ordered around same time and the same model that HTC will ship starting Thursday (tomorrow) based on time of order.

Guess we'll see... fingers crossed!
[One (M8) General] jtc276:
I ordered the Dev Edition.
[One (M8) General] jtc276:
Yeah, it's 11 PM here and I haven't gotten a shipping notification for my Dev Edition. I seriously doubt I'll actually get it tomorrow, but one can hope.

Update:

My order didn't ship yesterday, which doesn't surprise me at all. The estimated shipping and delivery dates have now changed:

Can anybody fix the hot word in Cm11 Xp.??.....

And thanks in advance.!!
[Xperia Z2 General] Aerversair:
Impressions:

Screen - noticeable improvement here, colours are much more deep and rich, viewing angle of the Full HD IPS Panel is by far better than the Z1's TFT Panel.

Speakers - Big improvements here. Dual front-facing stereo speakers position at the top x1 and the bottom x1 of the phone. It has a nice surround feel to it, and is much louder than the HTC One's BoomSound. As for the sound quality, the HTC One's BoomSound still takes the lead.

4K Recording - Works like a charm with no lag, also noted that the micro stuttering of moving objects that pledge the z1's video samples are now gone. Moving objects/subjects now seem less artificial.

Noted:

The Screen Protector found on both front and back sides of the Z1 has been dropped/abandoned, and there's full access to the shatter proof tempered glass now. The "SONY" logo is now part of the tempered glass rather than any SP as seen in the Z1.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brianakin:
I give up. I have searched here and elsewhere for a solution that works for me but nothing does. I am running a custom TW ROM (Dandroid 3.9 for JB 4.1.2) on Verizon firmware VRBMF1, so the fix for JPX/JPY firmware won't work for me. Other mods I have seen are for different firmwares also, and Wanam Xposed only works from JB 4.2+. I have also tried 3rd party apps that supposedly fix this, but SMS Sent Time Fix does not work, and SMS Sent Time does not actually fix the timestamp on the message; it only appends the actual sent time to the end of the body of the message which I don't prefer.

I did find a modded SecMms.apk with a fix baked in which does successfully add the actual sent time to the 'date_sent' field in the mmssms.db database; however this still does not accomplish the task of substituting the time sent in the timestamp that appears above each message. Also knowing that the SMS Sent Time app can locate the actual date/time sent gives me the belief that there has to be a way to get the timestamp in my conversations to use this value. Technically it wouldn't be the time I received it, but in cases where I'm in airplane mode for hours - as happens frequently - seeing that I received a text while my phone was off and knowing the time it was sent is more important that using a true time of receipt.

If I thought it was a limitation with JB 4.1.2 I would bite the bullet and update either to 4.3 or even to KitKat, but I like to think that it's possible yet the developers that do all this amazing work haven't found that Verizon SCH-i535 phone running TouchWiz Jellybean 4.1.2 to test on.

So does anyone have any ideas as to what I can try next?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brianakin:
Now THAT is a response! Thanks so much for taking the time to explain in vivid detail (and I actually understands more than half of it!). I do recall the Google thread that dates back to 2009 and kept running across it in my searches. I also saw references to "App Ops" along the way and the suggestion that even that workaround fails starting with 4.4.2. So yeah there's a lot to digest here but I suppose the 3 takeaways for me are:

1) It is possible for 3rd party messaging apps like Handcent and Go SMS to implement the sent time either in message details or in the timestamp above the message.

2) That hope vanishes with KK 4.4.2

2) That hope could be restored if Android again revises its SMS database structure or the message handling process to capture and display the time the SMS was actually sent

Still the issue of different time zones can muddy the waters so it may be that a perfect solution does not exist, at least without a lot of extra effort to identify sender location, compare to receiver's location, look up a time zone offset value somewhere, etc. etc.

But at least your explanation clears up a LOT of confusion for me so now I know the sordid history behind it all. And I will say that though I don't prefer to see a timestamp at the end of my messages, it is better than not being able to get the real sent time at all.

Thanks again for making your "quick hack" available to us and for all the other support you've given the user community on this nagging issue!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] androcheck:
Hi!

Sorry for the delayed answer and thanks for your appreciation. :)

Just wanted to comment on your 3 points:

Yes! Indeed! On every ROM which inherited the new SMS database layout from Google's original open source Android version 4.0.3 it should already today be possible for SMS apps to display both times: the sent time AND the received time!

So if your Android system database has this additional sent_time field, you just need a SMS app which shows it to you. So go ahead and send mails to your favorite SMS app developers and ask them about it (you may provide the link to the updated SMS database layout since Android 4.0 including the new "date_sent" field)

No, this hope does not vanish! Only my app may not work any longer on 4.4.2 but if have already the sent_time in your normal SMS app you won't need my app anymore. :) (I'm probably the first developer being happy about decreasing user numbers. ;))

No, that has nothing to do with it. As noted above, Google has already improved the database structure beginning with Android 4.0.3. Now just all phone manufacturers need to inherit this improvement (which I hope they already did - but I have no concrete infos here).

And we need all the SMS app developers (3rd party apps like Handcent and Go SMS but also the "default" messaging apps from Samsung, HTC, etc..) to display the sent_time (which hopefully is already there on every phone running Android 4.0.3 or higher).

So in general we are on the right way! :)

P.S.: When I use Google Hangout as SMS app I can see in the message details sent time AND received time. Can you try this just to verify if in principle it also works on your phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brianakin:
Principle confirmed. Hangouts does display both times in msg details. On to my favorite SMS app developer to request this option in a future update!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Catbert2014:
SMS Sent time Issue, but which new phone?

Yes, many thanks Androcheck for the SMS Sent Time app. The issue is immensely irritating and I don't mind at all that the time sent is appended to the message itself. However, it's now time for a new phone (for a number of reasons) and I would welcome advice on whether it would be easier to:

1. Stick with Android and ensure the new phone has up to 4.4.1 only and not 4.4.2?

2. get a 4.4.2 and wait fo the developers to catch up and all start using the sent time field

3. get an iphone - no, have already ruled this out for various reasons

4. Consider a windows phone - do these have the same issue?

Advice anyone?

Thank you for reading my post

Lollipop

Hi. Any chance to have this one run on Lollipop? This is a big help on my Acer and Xperia phone previously running ICS. Please help. Thank you. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] treysis:
Lollipop & S4

I just want to confirm that if you turn on the SMS/MMS write permission for SMS Sent Time in App Ops, then this fine application is still working also in Lollipop 5.0.1 (at least on my S4 i9505 it is!). Unfortunately, App Ops need root! I had rooted mine before, but it's definitely a very fine reason for rooting the phone.

This is really one of the most useful apps for me on my android phone. I don't understand why this feature has always slipped through with the manufacturers. Just as an example: yesterday my boss sent me a text. Due to slow network and bad coverage, I received his text at 12:30 AM, asking to call him when I have network. Yeah...well...luckily he was not sleeping yet ;) Had I known that it was sent hours before, I would have known that he had already reached one of my colleagues and a callback (at this time) was totally unnecessary.

So, I am very happy to find that it is working again! Of course, a timestamp field in the messaging app would be better, but for most people to confusing. So to append the sent time to the message seems like the 2nd best to me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eresac:
I see this is an old thread now but, since I've been redirected here from "SMS Sent Time" google play page, I'll use it anyway.

Has anyone had any trouble with the twitch app? I get a black screen then a message unfortunately twitch has stopped working.

I don't know if it's the phone or maybe anything to do with Adobe air. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried the 'Cast Screen' feature in cm11 aka Miracast in KitKat? You will need a Miracast enabled LCD/led TV. Amazon sells Miracast HDMI dongles. Go to settings, display, cast screen. There you will see Miracast TV to pair and send wireless content. I don't know if direct wi fi is enabled on the nook color yet.

Edit: WPA supplicant has p2p disabled. Missing p2p supplicant (config_p2p=y). Tried connecting to my sister's Sony 42" LED Bravia which is Miracast enabled, but no joy. See second pic.

Senior xda member s107ken has enabled Miracast for the Nexus line.

He has a great write up in his github here. He includes code for the WFD (wifi display) settings menu, modifications to framework (av and base) to modify the Nexus tablets. This might be helpful to enable Miracast for the Nook Color. As mentioned in my post above, the nook color doesn't have p2p configured in the wifi supplicant. It's one thing to be able to connect to a Miracast enabled receiver (TV, projector). It's another thing to be able to stream wireless content mirroring the nook color to the receiver. Most Miracast dongles connect to the HDMI port of the receiver. Don't know if there are USB3.0 versions. These dongles use H.264 video codec for 1080hd/5.1 Dolby Surround.

Here are the results of my attempt to add wifiP2P and WifiDisplay to the nook color

Wifi doesn't turn on in the settings menu. WPS and add buttons don't work. Everything is greyed out in the 3 dot menu except the advanced tab. There were a bunch of messages about "missing translation" in Koush/Superuser folder when compiling the wifi.display.settings.java for the settings UI. I suspect these errors are the cause. I also attached dmesg from wifi and p2p trying to connect to my AP. Address Conflict.

Remote submix is added to audio policy and hardware.

android.hardware.wifi.direct.xml is added to permisions

DirectWifi section is added to init.encore.rc

I have not made changes to video code.

See the pics attached for the file names and code additions I made. I also need to look at the wpa_supplicant to see if it is configured for AP and P2P.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hwong96:
Here is my second attempt to miracast the nook color.

I started this time with CM-11-Snapshot-M6. My previous attempt was made on an unofficial compiled ROM with modifications made to init.encore.rc, but there was a conflict with wifi and p2p due to the single-role firmware loaded (wl127x-fw-4-sr.bin ver. 6.3.10.0.139). Removing the single-role firmware does not work. There is an error message in dmesg stating wl12xx cannot find wl127x-fw-4-sr.bin. To get the multi-role firmware wl127x-fw-4-mr.bin ver 6.5.7.0.47 to load, I stashed the single-role firmware, copied and renamed wl127x-fw-4-mr.bin to wl127x-fw-4-sr.bin and pasted to /etc/firmware/ti-connectivity/ (see dmesg pic). Rebooted. Wifi is working at this point. I'm connected to Netgear86. My sister's Sony Bravia tv is direct wifi capable (see wifi settings pic). Without making modifications to init.encore.rc, I used terminal in root mode to find the MAC address of the Sony Bravia tv.. The wpa_cli p2p commands were able to find the MAC address (see terminal pic). Wifi is still working at this point. One step closer to miracast for nook color.

I added hostapd to the BoardConfig.mk file and compiled the ROM. CM-11 and hostapd do not play nice together. The quick settings rollup panel does not respond to pull down. I copied the hostapd binary and hostapd.conf files from the target out bin folder and pasted into my working copy of CM-11 5-22 nightly. I ran hostapd and p2p scripts using terminal as root. The results are below (see screen pics). The interface p2p0 comes up but does not connect (3rd pic). Stay tuned.

Edit: The sockets wlan0 and newly added p2p0 have permisissions set at wifi wifi. That's why the terminal returned an error (3rd pic last line). Will add to init.encore.rc and see what develops.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hwong96:
I did more testing today. The results are shown in the pics attached. The p2p0 socket is created. The p2p0 interface is still not connecting to wpa_cli. I suspect wifi.c is the culprit. It has a 2008 copyright. I will see if I can find an updated version. The p2p commands work with the wlan0 interface, but we need it to work on p2p0 interface.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hwong96:
While searching for a newer version of wifi.c, I stumbled upon something interesting. It seems there were some changes made to wifi.c to allow using p2p0 as a secondary interface for a p2p connection. These changes were made by Hashcode on December 15, 2012 and Irfan Sheriff on December 27, 2011. The wifi.c file in CyanogenMod github does not have these changes. Do they not work? I do not know. If they do work, why weren't they added to CyanogenMod's github? Is that the reason none of CyanogenMod builds have p2p? I have attached screen shots of my findings.
