[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberSlackr:
Is it possible to install the Google Play KitKat version for the One (M8) onto the Verizon One (M8)? I really want this phone, but I can not stand the HTC Sense that plagues its. I know things would have to be changed around since the Play Store version of the M8 is GSM. But I couldn't find any mention here on XDA of a port of the Play Store version to the Verizon model.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kayone73:
VZW users are pretty screwed in this respect, if you're tired of all the hardware restrictions Verizon forces upon its customers then you're best off dropping them and switching to a different carrier even if it means a small sacrifice in reception and coverage. I switched from Verizon to ATT then to Tmobile and yes my coverage isn't as good but it's more than adequate and more important I have total freedom of phone hardware to use.

I have the GPe M8 on order and waiting for it soon.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberSlackr:
Unfortunately switching to a different Carrier in my area is not an option. I was with AT&T for 6 Years, but moved to a new state/town where any GSM carrier has little to no Service, you might have service in the left corner of the yard, but none in the right corner, and don't even think about going inside a store/building otherwise you'll have no service no matter what corner you head too...

I just really hate the Sense UI. Is there an option to turn off the HTC Feed Screen (left most homescreen) on the M8 like there is on the HTC One Max? I hate how they have those really tiny Navigation icon on that huge black navigation bar. Just seems like a waste of space, imo.

Hopefully someone, somewhere will make a vanilla ROM (keeping the dot matrix, tap unlock, etc,) some day.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djkinetic:
Well here's the thing with Verizon, the M8 Verizon MID is the only M8 blocked on HTC Dev, meaning you can't unlock the BL as simply as the other variants...Also the with VZW you're dealing with CDMA and well most Variants including GPE is GSM...the chances of an AOSP/Vanilla non sense ROM on a VZW M8 arent as good as the GSM Variants so long as the BL remains locked. An exploit will have to be found before anything happens on the VZW M8.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberSlackr:
Well thats good to know, well bad actually... I've always had Unlocked/Google GSM device since the Nexus was first released, so I was not aware of all that (BS) surrounding VZW/CDMA devices. The LG G2 was the first locked/unroot (I never rooted it) device I've had in years, and the First CDMA device as well. So Thank you for the little bit of information, its makes me hate VZW more and more :good:

Well fingers crossed something happens, as I really want the HTC One (M8), but I really don't want the Sense UI - Even though the Camera is a downgrade from my G2. The good thing about going from the G2 to the HTC One (M8) is that I'll still be able to Tap to wake it... I'm constantly tapping on friends and family members phones trying to turn the screen on, at takes me a couple seconds to remember it does work like that.

Do you use the One (M8) as your daily driver, if so any complaints about it thus far?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] siskiou:
My note 3 works great, except the GPS.

Outside= no problem

Inside any building= takes 15 minutes, if it locks on at all!

My old phone has absolutely no problems in the same spot (HTC Dinc2).

Is this normal for the note 3, or should I consider a replacement?

I've tried all the "Fix-it" type apps from the playstore, with no change.

Edited: Forgot to mention that I'm still on jelly bean. Holding off on kitkat for a while.

Did anyone notice an improvement on KK, if their note had gps problems before?

Should I try a custom rom? I'm stock rooted atm.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] stir fry a lot:
Do a full wipe and try a custom rom. When I tried to run rooted stock my gps was putting me in a different state. Switched over to Infamous and all is right in the world again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BACARDILIMON:
I got to ask what you need GPS for inside?

TWEAKED N3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Turbo4V:
Same problem here, running KK, all stock (not rooted). Lucky if I get a fix at all at times. Oddly, i've found that if I boot into recovery, do a factory reset and clear the cache, GPS works just fine till I reboot the phone. After the reboot, it reverts to the same ole GPS problems. Seems like some type of software issue to me, odd that it would exist in JB and KK though...

Justin
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BACARDILIMON:
On kk GPS locks in less then 5 seconds on cold start

TWEAKED N3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] siskiou:
I like to set up routes, when still at home. :)

And apps like Lookout or Cerberus do much better with a good GPS signal.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] siskiou:
Tried that already and didn't do a thing for me, unfortunately.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] siskiou:
From what I've read, there are different versions of the GPS module. Some work better than others.

Though that was mainly reported for the AT&T version.

Did you have problems with GPS before updating to KK?

I'm still on the fence.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BACARDILIMON:
No never did

TWEAKED N3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kingofkings11:
Try it after a fresh install
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Turbo4V:
Looking at the at&t gps problem sounds exactly like the problems that I'm having. I wonder if they have a fix that might work for the tmo version?

Justin
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] siskiou:
You mean a factory reset?

Didn't they get a software update? Though IIRC, a lot of people returned their phones for a replacement with a newer radio.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] RioPalmares:
I have the same problems with GPS on my unlocked n900t.

It worked in the beginning and then almost stopped. I couldn't get any satellites on the street using GoogleMaps.

I wiped all the data and installed cyanogen 11 4.4.4 ROM, after that GPS was working good during the 1st day however I was loosing the signal in San Francisco downtown among the skyscrapers. But yesterday it didn't work again at all.

I tried TopNTP but it seems it didn't help at all.

BTW NFC doesn't work on Cyanogen11 either, so I can't use GoogleWallet now.

What can I do to fix that?

Started thinking about turning to Iphone more and more :(
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hellscythe:
Hey guys

Not sure if this issue is only with my phone or others have it too.

The issue is that on any kernel that is not stock, such as doomkernel, xzk and cm/aosp, the WiFi likes to disconnect after a while of sleep then refuse to find most networks again. This issue persists even after restarting WiFi. The only way to fix it is reboot the device.

My question is, in your custom kernels, is there something different in terms of WiFi compared to original stock kernel? If so, could you help me diagnose the issue?

I ran a logcat and it said something about an error with wpa2 psk
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alnikki25k:
Post your logcat.

Yes, the WiFi modules in the custom kernels are different from Sony's. And we don't have access to Sony's source code for this.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] slimsaturn:
Does anyone know a way to do this?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dmonik:
bluetooth to pc or email it to yourself :wink:

I tried to e-mail it to myself but to me las tnight but I never received it. How would I use bluetooth to remove it
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dmonik:
i think you can detatch the file-save to wherever then just send it to your fone via activesync. open the message and choose "menu" and the options in there
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nviz22:
When will the Note 3 get the GS5's software? And which one is better as a phone right now?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graydiggy:
Why would anyone here know this info? And asking what is better is not really allowed. It leads to weiner measuring competitions.

Look at the specs and whatnot and make that choice for yourself.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Expydude:
Agreed what you want may not be what others want. Plus it's all opinion
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] karmasblade:
If I were to attempt to fix this issue myself, how would I go about doing it? I ordered a new power button but I'm worried that the problem lies internally requiring me to take apart the phone rather than just replacing a simple button. The power button is so loose that if you make any contact on it, it will turn on/off. If I press it down, it makes a click sound as usual but the screen flickers on and off.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
Replacing the power button requires opening up the phone. Unless you are certain you have the correct tools and technical expertise for this, you may want to consider taking it to a tech shop or pro outlet. This may cost you a bit but could be overall less bothersome.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowSKAR:
I recently switched phones and would like to transfer all my SMS/MMS from my old phone. I've tried some apps from the Play Store but they seem to have difficulty with MMS. So then I tried to copy the mmssms.db and app_parts folder from /data/data/com.android.provider.telephony to the new phone but that didn't seem to work at all because no messages showed up.

What other options do I have?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cr1960:
what is your old phone? (Make/model)?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ayo234:
On the playstore there is an application called HTC Transfer Tool. Download that on your old phone. You have the same app on your HTC One either in the app drawer or in the settings app. But if you dont, download the same app on your htc one. Follow the instructions on screen and you should be fine.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowSKAR:
Old phone is a Samsung Galaxy SII (Hercules) running CM 10.2.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowSKAR:
I just tried that but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work. It says backing up on my old phone, and when that finishes, nothing actually gets transferred. On the HTC, it says received 0/0.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RUUMan:
u can use a an app called superbackup from the play store . it works well
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowSKAR:
Doesn't work either because it's not backing up all the messages.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cr1960:
what if you take a backup using the backup/restore option in messaging then copy it across to your new phone and try to restore?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FauxAffliction:
Download sms backup and restore and I believe there's an option to either email it to yourself or upload it to Google drive then download the same program on your HTC and restore them..after downloading from your email or drive of course :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowSKAR:
I don't see a backup/restore option in messaging. Can you elaborate a little further?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowSKAR:
Are you referring to this one?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore

Because if you are, I've already tried it. It seems to backup everything but when I try to restore it, not everything gets restored. Then comparing the mmssms.db from the old phone and new phone, there is a significant difference in file size, leading me to believe that MMS aren't getting copied.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
If I recall correctly MMS are near impossible to back up properly. No app I have seen will do them.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cr1960:
Hmmm, don't know about the Samsung, but on the HTC there's an option under messages > settings to backup/restore.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowSKAR:
Ah ok. The old phone doesn't seem to have anything like that.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowSKAR:
That's why I was wondering if I could manually do it by copying the mmssms.db and app_parts folder from the old phone to the new one.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RUUMan:
What u can do is use the HTC messaging app backup feature and then browse yr phone for the folder called smsbackup. Copy it to somewhere safe. Do whatever u want then put back the folder back to yr phone and use the HTC messaging app use the restore function

If so, what's the performance impact like? Does it make the phone more sluggish / laggy?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] realfoxm:
Has anyone had any problems not receiving sms messages until the device is rebooted? There are times where the phone will function just fine until I restart it and see that text messages are flooding in. This is only happening on the Note 3 and not the Nexus 5 which is also under t-mobile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BACARDILIMON:
What did you do

TWEAKED N3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] realfoxm:
I've noticed if I toggle WiFi calling off instead of reboot, texts will download. The only problem with leaving WiFi calling off, is that MMS/picture messages won't send or receive. Also group messaging will not be in a group thread until WiFi calling is toggled back on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] chuko303:
The obvious questions anyone asks should have the most obvious answer. What is your ROM, KERNEL. what tweaks did YOU improvised
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Eric214:
I would look to see if you restricted background data of your sms apps or any sync apps. It sounds like you restricted something hence why it syncs on reboot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] xlylegaman:
check APN settings
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Eric214:
It would not sync on reboot if the apn settings weren't correct if I'm not mistaken
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] realfoxm:
Nothing has been restricted as far as apps go. This is on the stock rom, never rooted 4.4.2 KK. I tried adding APN settings manually, but received same results. If this isn't been an known issue with anyone else, I think a factory reset may be in order.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Eric214:
Yeah, fdr is likely next best step
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] idtheftvictim:
Try changing your network apn settings to ip v4/v6. I was having the same issues, and this fixed it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Lorettaa:
What's wrong asking him about the factory reset?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jacqueline robert:
If you recently used an iOS device with the same number you have on your Galaxy Note 3, then reset your iMessage via your Apple account. That should do it.

If it’s a different issue, then I am left to assume what happened to your phone. I don’t even know if you can send a text message just fine or not. But if you can and are using a third-party messaging app, please try disabling it first to see if that would solve the problem. It could be just a little messed up setting.

If, however, you can’t send and receive text messages, call your service provider or carrier first and have your SIM card checked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] realfoxm:
Factory reset was not required. I was able to correct this by leaving wifi-calling enabled, but setting the wifi-calling preference to cellular preferred. So far so good, been about a week now with no issues.

I know that the SGS5 received an update recently to fix sms/mms issues, so I don't know if the same would ever be pushed to the note 3.

[Moto X Q&A] somerandomname1:
My pops got the Moto X, and he's not receiving some texts because of iMessage. I'm sure you've all heard this before.

I'm looking for the best solution if anyone has any information?

By googling, it seems the methods are:

-turn off iMessage on the device

-change password of the apple account

-unregister the apple device

-have the person who is trying to text you delete their text message thread and start a new one

I've done the first 2. The third one I can't seem to do because when I login to the site, the device isn't listed, so I guess it was never registered in the first place?

Besides those first 3, it seems the last one is important. The problem is, how can you know who is having problems and who isn't? So how do you know who to tell to delete the thread?

Does anyone else have any easier methods to quickly resolve this? Any help would really be appreciated.
[Moto X Q&A] dray_jr:
i would call apple support and see what they say i just did some reading on this issue and there are 100s of different so called fixes but none of them work for everyone. so my best bet for you is to call apple support

but here are some websites that might help you idk apple need to get on there game and get this fixed

The only approved steps so far are to turn off iMessage on your old iPhone, have Apple Support revoke the certificate to disassociate your phone number from iMessage/Facetime, and for anyone using an iPhone to send you messages to update to the newest iOS (7.1 for iPhone 4 and higher, 6.1.6 for 3GS).

Other possible steps:

1. Go to www.icloud.com and make sure the device is removed from Find My iPhone.

2. Backup and then restore as new your old iPhone.

3. Go to id.apple.com and change your Apple ID's primary email address to something different than it currently shows.

4. Go to id.apple.com and change your Apple ID password

5. Have the other iPhone users delete the existing message thread, delete your contact from their iPhone, backup and restore from backup, and then re-add your contact using only your phone number. Also, make sure they have 'Send as SMS' turned on.

The core issue is usually the other iPhones not sending the message as SMS when it should.

"If you have access to your iPhone 4 you are going to want to go into the phone and turn your iMessaging off, http://vz.to/1hRAZNz.

If you don’t have access to your iPhone follow the steps below:

Step 1

Go to supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do.

Step 2

Log in with your Apple ID and password.

Step 3

Select the product you need to de-register (your iPhone, for example).

Step 4

Click ‘Unregister’.

Step 5

You’ll see the message ‘Are you sure you want to unregister and delete this product?’ – Click ‘Unregister’ again.

other info i read was to put the sim card back in the iPhone. restore the iPhone to stock and then go back threw and make sure imessage and facetime is off. and then to call Apple support and have them revoke your certifications.

the issue is a simple problem the iphones are trying to send you a msg via imessage because there iPhone still thinks you have it. why apple can't find a simple and easy fix is blowing my mind.
[Moto X Q&A] aldouse:
how long has this been going on. usually after you process steps 1 and 2.. it clears off after 12-24 hours. if its still not.. then double check your other devices.. is it set up on the ipad? or on an apple computer? those can also interfere... gotta turn off imessage on all devices where the phone/imessage account was set up on.

that happened to me with my when i first picked up my moto x... couldn't figure out what was wrong.. even verizon and apple customer service coudldn't tell.. then i noticed my ipad kept going off with missed notifications.. turned it off there.. and voila! problem solved..

steps 3-5 aren't that important... just 1 and 2 are the key ones...
[Moto X Q&A] somerandomname1:
Yeah, I figured I would give it time. They also seemed the most important to me. Question: did you turn iMessage off before you switched devices? I didn't think to do that until a day or 2 after the Moto X was up and running. So I turned iMessage off on the iPhone. It was still connected to WiFi so I assume it could still make the connection to apple's servers to remove that account from iMessage.
[Moto X Q&A] UncleMike:
They have a simple fix - switch back to (or never switch from) iPhone. Just as their lack of a published solution blows your mind, Apple's mind is blown by the fact that anyone who has EVER used an iPhone would EVER choose to use anything else.

With Apple, your once standard SMS becomes needlessly intertwined with iMessage. Stepping into the Apple ecosystem is like stepping into any of the following:

La Brea Tar Pits

Roach Motel

Hotel California

Escape is rare, and often requires outside assistance.
[Moto X Q&A] Solutions Etcetera:
Apple has an official article on this subject; it took me ten seconds to find it via Google...

http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5185
[Moto X Q&A] aldouse:
No I didn't... And that's what caused it. Had to move the sim card back yo the iPhone, set up Imessage again... Then turn it off. Then finally switched back to the moto x. And then issue resolved almost immediately.
[Moto X Q&A] dray_jr:
and if you would of read the OP you would know he has already done that and still has the problem
[Moto X Q&A] Solutions Etcetera:
In which case the article suggests contacting Apple support.

I would assume, since it's no secret there can be issues with Apple's cloud services, that there may be times they'd have to give the server a kick from their end.

Also, there is a link at the bottom that accesses another article with more information about unlinking a number from iMessage and FaceTime...

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
[Moto X Q&A] somerandomname1:
You can also take 10 seconds to google and see that those instructions are mostly bull**** for a major proportion of people who make the switch. Especially after ios7 which made the "fall back to SMS if iMessage fails to deliver" off by default. People are trying to send via iMessage and when it fails, it doesn't fall back to SMS like it should. People are even continuing to have problems after their iPhone friends/family turn that setting on anyway. It's a really ****ed up system.
