Like said before, you don't need an unlocked bootloader to flash a firmware in flashtool.

Just open up flashtool and click the energy icon before BLU and choose flashmode then pick the firmware for your device.

Make sure your phone is off and then holding volume down button, plug it into the computer

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ak800i:
Go to recovery, if wipe/factory reset doesn't help, you'll have to flash .534 again

Install xposed and gravity box

There you have the option to enable advanced power menu :)

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murf43143:
I don't get the point of having the "OK, Google" if I can't use it on any screen except when I actually open Google Now. I was hugely let down by the lack of "always listening" but what is the point of having this if I need to open up a specific program just to set an alarm with my voice?

How do I "OK, Google. Set an alarm for 30 minutes" without actually opening up the god damn Google Now?

I am so disappointed in this lack of feature or my lack of knowledge.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmill75:
Purchase a Moto X if you want always listening.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murf43143:
Thanks, for being a great help and an asset to the community.

I am asking about how to get Google to use voice recognition without actually opening up the program and wasting time..

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xReaper7x:
Don't really know how to do it on sense, but you can install the Google Now Launcher.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murf43143:

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murf43143:
Anyways, I had to put that guy above on the ignore list for both wasting this threads time and just being rude.

If you hold the home button, then swipe up it launches Google Now, so that will be how I access it until active listening from the home screen when the phone is on is one day enable or someone does an extension.

Thanks to anyone but the guy I had to block.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regalpimpin:
Do a google search for the apk. You should be able to side load it.

You can then use ok google on the home screens, but still nowhere else.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HolyAngel:
You can download the Google now Launcher (googlehome.apk) from numerous threads here on xda, any gapps zip download for aosp, and many places on the internet. That's the only way to do it and you won't get BlinkFeed either :/ otherwise gotta deal with the home buttoness
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murf43143:
Thank you both kindly! I may do that if I find the "hold home, swipe up" can be improved upon.

Have a great day, and if I do side load it and test it I will replay back and edit my original post to include that and state how it works.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ayo234:
There is an application called open mic +. It is still in beta I think but it works amazingly. Check it out.

Edit: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.RSen.OpenMic.Pheonix
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidCarter93:
As far as I'm aware, it could only be done with certain apps (like the mic+ app linked in the above post) or from installing the Google Now launcher. That means you won't be able to run Sense though so if you really want to carry on using Sense you'll need to use one of the aforementioned apps instead.

It's a shame that HTC didn't implement such a feature to be honest, especially considering they made it possible to use Ok Google commands once on the Google Now app. I guess it's officially limited to certain Nexus devices though.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murf43143:
Thank you for this. I tried installing it and messing with it in many ways, but it only recognizes my "Okay, Google" about 10% of the time (I tried both engines) and even when it does recognize my "Okay, Google" from a home screen it takes about 5-10 seconds for it to launch, thus by the time it launches I have either thought it failed since it took so long or I said "Okay, Google" 3 times already by the time it launches.

Thank you anyways, it just doesn’t work well with this phone maybe. Pretty disappointing since the processor it has is able to do always listening or at least home screen listening.

Not sure if you have root, but there is an xposed module for this. just search "ok google" in the xposed app and you'll find it.

I've noticed that the Gmail app on the SW2 doesn't seem to update all the time. I've currently only got 5 messages in there, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it - previously it was only showing 1 email.

Similar story with Messaging.

So my questions are - is there a way to force an update/push to the watch?
[Sony Smartwatch] beaubin:
At this time, Gmail Smart Extra won't handle multi mail accounts even it appears to.

If it's your case, just select a single account, you'll see it syncs just fine :)

Then, you'll have to do a "trick" (forwarding or fetch other accounts won't work properly) to get all your other account's mails into this selected account (lemme know if you'd like me to walk you through this).

Also, if you have some sort of energy saving feature enabled on your phone, Gmail might not sync/push notifications to your SW2 as often as you wish/think...
[Sony Smartwatch] tangcla:
I've got just the one Gmail account.

It's also not working for the messaging extension, either.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dethklic:
fixed my brick

Even tho it says not to remove the battery i did. I had no other choice, i tried just about everything. only way i was able to get a sign of life from the phone was by plugging it into a usb. then the led at the top left of the screen would turn on and nothing more. i bricked mine by using motochopper somehow, first it would say the root failed then i tried changing some things and eventually i got a device not found error. i gave up on that method of rooting but the phone was still working. then i found framaroot. i think i used the first exploit and it bricked. i took out the battery VERY carefully, waited 10 seconds(cant be too safe), reinserted the battery, and it rebooted and was rooted. now im just worried it might have not fully rooted. going to do some tinkering and if it bricks ill let you all know.

goodluck
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DNRDustin:
Yeah the battery is super easy to take out without it looking like you messed with it. I have used both bohomir and faramir with no problems. If you're worried about partial root; do a full unroot with superSu, reboot, unroot with framaroot using the original exploit you chose, reboot then reroot.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AgentTran:
My phone died overnight yesterday, and when I got home today I found it to be dead, so I plugged it in and turned it on.

The menu where it shows an empty battery which fills up as you charge it was there, but the screen was frozen.

I tried plugging in and out the charger, tried booting with and without the battery, and each and every time, the screen with the empty battery and a frozen loading circle just comes up.

It might be my cable, so I plugged it into my HTC One X.

It worked fine, it charges but only if I bend the micro-usb side of the cable.

The reason for this is because I ran over the cable's front end with my computer chair, and somehow it only works when you angle it some way now. But, if I do angle it correctly, it will charge and if remained in that position it will charge.

I plugged the USB into my computer to see if it would read the Note 2, nothing.

Tried it with the One X, and it worked.

The very dim red LED light did come up though, when I was holding the power button.

Any ideas on what I should do?

Should I replace the USB cable? This may be a factor, but the frozen empty battery screen and the fact that the charger still works baffles me.

Some other notes:

The Note 2 is running a custom 4.4.2. ROM: W03 SLIM V9 or something.

It has also been recently hard resetted, and everything was working fine until it died last night.

What should I do!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
Swap the cable...

And not sure what you mean about the charger ???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AgentTran:
I've managed to get the right angle of my charge and bot into recovery, and from there I booted into system.

Now it isn't stuck on the zero battery screen and is charging now :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gorfchris:
Sounds to me like the battery was drained enough that it needed some time to charge before it would even turn on. I know my old iPhone behaved like that if I let the phone die.

Glad it sorted itself out.

What is the best and the fast internet browser for HTC Universal using 3G connections ...

anyone have an experience ??

cheers..
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] srmz:
If you ask me, Opera 8.60 and Netfront 3.3 are the only two contenders in this area.

After having extensively evaluated both of them I have put my money on the Netfront 3.3 now available in commercial versions

Regards
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] kdskamal:
i hv used both of them. Opera provides the fastest internet experience and also the best internet experince. Pages get loaded pretty quickly
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] srmz:
Hi kdskamal,

I absolutely agree with you that page loading in Opera 8.60 is faster than on Netfront 3.3. Furthermore the page rendering on Opera is also closer to the desktop experience. But one thing which made me opt for Netfront 3.3 is that if you load really large pages then the scrolling gets really slow and almost unusable. For example try the site www.pocketpcdubai.com and you will notice the difference.

The other thing which made me prefer Netfront 3.3 is the fact that this is the only browser whcih can handle file attachments at the Hotmail site. Finally support for flash objects was again another plus for me to buy netfront.

Regards
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] thefunkunfaked:
Opera seems to provide the best functionality and performance.

If you want to preserve Microsoft integration and services, stick with IE, but you will suffer from sluggish performance and minimal features.

Catch 22
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] thefunkunfaked:
If someone gets me an open source, I can build an awesome browser :lol:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Noony:
Opera 8.6 is highly recommended :)

Preferably with a registry hack to act like IE6 (I use Tweaks2K) to ensure that you can still do all the secure stuff. The registry hack just allows you to load pages that may be a little strict about what browsers can view them.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] 8YEight:
I just installed Opera, and works great. Only pda pages will be shown very small, but that's why there's a zoom function. :lol:

The only thing is that the LogMeIn plugin you have to install for using this function doesn't seem to work with Opera, only on Microsoft IE or is it just me again???
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] battletank:
Of the two (Opera and Netfront), I prefer the new Netfront 3.3 - install a narrow font on your Universal, and you can render all pages comfortably in the normal screen area. The stylesheet support is definitely the more complete, which gives perfect page layouts every time. Opera seems a bit quicker, but I find the occasional inability to tap select links to become incredibly infuriating.
