[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StormCell:
Ok, this is a HUGE issue. And if I can't fix it I will have to return the phone.

My Mobile Hotspot only works with the screen on. Every time the screen turns off I lose my connection. The hotspot doesn't turn off it just stops functioning. It works fine as soon as I turn the screen back on.

This is REALLY annoying as I use my hotspot all the time. I'm on Verizon and blow thru over 20gigs of data per month.

Can anyone please help me fix this? Is it happening to anyone else?

Thnx!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnDruid:
A shot in the dark and I do not have an M8 right now to confirm, but did you try enabling the "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" option in Wifi->Advanced menu?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joe8642:
If you are using power saver that has option "Data connection - Put to sleep when screen is off"
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StormCell:
WiFi is turned off when the hotspot is active so. Not sure how that would help.

I don't have Power Save on my Verizon M8.

Is no one else experiencing this?

Hello Everyone:

I'm having a problem flashing a ROM. I'm currently on CM 11 from the N7105 forum but would like to revert back to 4.3. I'm trying to flash Skynote Air, the vanilla version. I follow the steps provided and when I try to install the zip, im being given a system 7 error and an error on the zip file. I'm using philz touch CWM by the way. Is it because im on CM11 from the N7105 or is it the zip file? When trying to download the zip file from the ROM thread, it was coming up blank and I downloaded a mirrior. Before the CM11, I was running seanzscreams Sky Note 4.3. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
Are you using 5.15 version of Philz ? If so, try updating it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jestic:
I'm using the 6.19.3 t0lteatt version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
Ahhhh.. Sorry I read but didn't read. Long day.

I read it again and saw the failed downloads.

A hosed zip is probably the case.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jestic:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
Did you download from the copy.com or skynote.com?

I'm grabbing off of the Skynote.com.. Pulling Sky_Note Air Vanilla F1.zip with no problems.. Still have 5 minutes to download.

I'll know if 15 minutes if it's good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jestic:
Im getting the rom from here :

It downloads with no problem. The problem is when I try to install it from recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
Same place I just downloaded from.. Copying to phone, flashing in 5.

Only difference is I'm using TWRP as my custom recovery.

Only because personal preference... My fat fingers press buttons on Philz by mistake. I hit reboot 80% of the time before I even do anything.

EDIT: I had a copy of Philz on my phone, philz_touch_6.07.9-t0lteatt.zip. My download flashed fine.

I gotta hit the sack... Good luck

I had same Status 7 error. In PhilZ Touch Recovery ( in version 6.19.3 which is actually 6.19.2) in Install menu, make sure you UNCHECK "Don't allow old binary update" then flash rom. You may have a corrupt data partition (I did). If so, you'll have to wipe /data/media partition. Read my post and reference links. Has to do with the change from CWM base 6045 to 6047 .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jestic:
Thanks for the help. I just installed the latest TWRP and it flashed fine. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DoctorQMM:
Glad you're back up and running. .. btw, PhilZ just posted an updated CWM Touch Recovery [6.25.0] for our Note2 [t0lteatt device tree] which now automatically determines if what you're flashing has older binary code embedded in its binary-script to avoid the dreaded Status7 errors.

Have Windows 7 64-bit, and had no issues using adb commands with my M7 HTC One. No matter what, I cannot get the same laptop to recognize my M8 to issue ADB commands. adb devices shows no device. Made sure HTC Sync/Samsung Keis/etc. wasn't installed. Update Android SDK to latest versions. Tried to install the HTC One M8 "Toolkit" and update drivers there.

Any ideas? Not sure if I should be getting the security popup on my phone to trust the PC connection, but that's not happening even though USB Debugging is enabled on the phone. I can provide more information if needed.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] nicholi2789:
I too had trouble getting my M8 drivers to install correctly. When the adb devices command returns nothing that means your drivers aren't installed. Open your device manager in Windows (open start menu then search device manager) and see if under your devices it shows a yellow triangle next to your device. If it does then drivers aren't installed correctly. What I ended up doing was actually installing HTC Sync and HTC Sync manager and allowing it to install drivers for me. Then once it was done uninstalling them. Or you could also manually update the drivers with the Universal adb drivers (they come with the Android SDK). I would install HTC Sync and let it do it's thing though first.That HTC Driver installer program you see in the screenshot below came with the HTC Sync program.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] WorldOfJohnboy:
OK, I decided to all out attack this and uninstalled a bunch of stuff from my PC. Plug the phone in and it installed the drivers, prompted (on my phone) to allow debugging and I am all set. Strangest thing as my M7 was working perfectly fine last week. Thanks!

How to enable Power Saver Mode on Verizon Wireless HTC One (M8)

* Download SqLite Editor from the Play store

* Open up the app

* Navigate to Settings Storage --> Settings.db --> secure

* Locate hide_ui_user_powersave and hide_ui_powersaver_connectivity

* These values right now should be “1”

* Long press on the field and change both to a value of “0”

* Back out of the app, reboot and enjoy!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] 123421342:
Does this include the extreme power saver? I wonder why it was left out in this fashion... they could have just enabled it from the beginning...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Gungrave223:
Unfortunately, the US is bit abackwards compared to the rest of the world. The extreme power safer mode needs to be approved by US carriers before the most up to date version of the M8 software can be released in the US. Hopefully it will be approved soon, and be available via a software update. :fingers-crossed:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] th3taman:
Does this get lost on reboot?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] gomorrah:
No.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Evolutionmods:
Thanks. Once we can write to system this should be able to be enabled in values/bools in setting.apk I think
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] deeznuts:
Can you find the hidden feature in stock messaging app that allows you to block people from texting you?

We have this feature in the stock phone app to block calls but was left out of the stock text messaging app. I went to the international M8 forum and they said they have it out of the box. I'm sureVerizon "Hide" this feature as well.

---------- Post added at 09:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 AM ----------

Does seem odd that Verizon basically told HTC, hey hide this feature even though it's already built into the old software we approved you having on this device for the USA launch. By the way also hide the block text messaging feature that's been built into your phones since Sense 4. WTF?!?

Thanks so much for this. I was just talking to a friend who has this phone about the power saving mode.

Yeah..it's supposed to be coming to Verizon in an update...but if it's hidden I was thinking a similar tweak to Power Save might make it available.

Once system is rewrite you can simply edit your xml yourself an no need for a app to do it for you.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] runandhide05:
Have you tried to block the number via the phone app, it's possible the setting is cross platforms, ie tick it in the phone app and it blocks all calls vm and texts.

Anyone who enables power saver you can disable icon via terminal!

Tap the 1 under 'value' and then 'update value' and change the 1 to 0. Do that in both the hide_ui entries listed in OP. Make sure to hit 'commit' in the bottom right corner after making your change for each entry. Reboot after you do both.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] invisiblek:
for those that want to do it manually via an adb command line (cmon, who doesn't want to do that?!?!)

you'll need this sqlite3 binary: http://invisiblek.org/sqlite3

get it to /system/xbin:

adb push sqlite3 /sdcard/
adb shell
su
cat /sdcard/sqlite3 > /system/xbin/sqlite3
chmod 755 /system/xbin/sqlite3

now, run the command to update the database (still within your root adb shell):

sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db 'update secure set value = 0 where name = "hide_ui_powersaver_connectivity" or name = "hide_ui_user_powersaver"'

Oddly enough, I used your method and it did work to enable power saver, but now I can no longer use widgets on the lock screen. Music widget doesn't appear, taskbar doesn't display on lockscreen either.

Thank you Tigerstown.

In the app that I am using, there is a backup and restore database option. (Should have backed up the database... duhhh). If someone with a clean settings.db could back it up and then send the file, that would allow me to restore it (hopefully).

If I could just get INSERT INTO to work, I would be in business, but it keeps telling me that there is no column named "hide_ui_user_powersaver" when I try.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] kidwolf908:
Tigerstown,

Thank you so much for the help! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to restore from that file... the SQL Debugger program just wouldn't have it. Luckily, I was able to get my INSERT command to work through adb and got the two rows inserts back into the settings.db database. I'm still unsure if Power Saver is working though... no notification for it. But it does appear in my Power options.

I think something may have gotten borked in my settings file that's beyond repair, but at least my phone is working.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
If you can turn on powersaver in your power settings you definitely have it enabled. There should be a icon to remove in status bar. Who knows maybe you removed icon on mistake lol. ? if the icon does show up in status bar easy way to remove. Glad to hear your phone is back to full working order.
