[Sprint HTC One (M8)] skizzled:
Just curious, but could you provide a little bit of information on your phone in order to possibly figure out if this is true?

Personally, my phone's serial begins with FA and I took the newest OTA before rooting and finally getting S-Off.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mjhuffer:
I'm going to try going back to stock rooted and see if it works. I don't really need S-OFF but it is nice to have. My Serial starts with AP and I'm hardware version 5. I don't think the exploit plays well with any version over .8.

Just tried again on Venom and I got the same thing. Gonna try to go back to stock and see what happens. I'm sure there will be an updated exploit sometime soon. I don't know how many different sprint hardware versions there are.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mrlakadaddy:
Pay attention to the bottom script, no need to flash a new Rom, it simply won't work on your device now. It's being worked on still.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Tre Lawrence:
Yep... I got the "whelps" message too. The script is very precise; sounds like a specific issue that the exploit can't tackle just yet in specific devices.

---------- Post added at 09:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ----------

For a point of reference: serial starts with HT and this is hardware version 5.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Pacemaker2:
S-OFF successfully with Surface Pro (tablet)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] neudof:
Software: 1.54.651.8

Hardware: 0005

S-Off failed... Bummer, I hope they get it figured out soon :)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Granite1:
Yeah, we tried everything Tre. There has to be something going on with hardware versions. I'm sure they'll get it sorted out sooner or later.

At least yinz can still haz root until then. :)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] vencap:
HT* s/n with S-Off?

Pattern emerging - I have the incompatible whelp message as well, Sprint 1.54 (not the pattern), HW ver 0005 (not the pattern), but my s/n starts with HT as well (pattern?).

Anyone with an HT s/n that has s-off?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] blackice666:
HT here also, and I cant s-off
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] DruoGaby:
i just got a new one and my serial is FA
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] DruoGaby:
well ima happy camper....new device s offed and rooted..woot woot!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] karhuk:
My serial number starts with HT, hardware version 0005, and the date in the bootloader is Apr 1 2014.

I was able to use Firewater to achieve s-off.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] comstar:
HT43 serial - 005 hardware

whelp message for me
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Tre Lawrence:
1.54 too?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] karhuk:
Yes
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Tre Lawrence:
Interesting... thanks for the reply. It worked first time? No "whelps" message?

I'd be interested in knowing if anyone got the "whelps" message and was able to get it to work afterwards.
[Google Chromecast] kafarnsworth:
Today I was trying to watch a live YouTube stream from my phone. I got the message that live streams were not permitted on my Chromecast.

I then tried casting the same stream from my desktop. It worked. To verify that I wasn't just casting a chrome tab, I closed all of the chrome windows. The stream kept working.

I also tried casting the stream from chrome beta for android. I didn't get an error, but the casting didn't work. I just got a black screen on the phone and a YouTube screen on the TV.

Is there a way around this restriction? Can I cast a live feed from my android phone to my Chromecast?

Thanks,

Ken F
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Being that live streams aren't supposed to work, either you got lucky, or they're working on it.

Not much you can do but wait to see if YouTube updates its info and/or capabilities.
[Google Chromecast] primetime34:
Live streams work for me from my laptop but not from my phone as well. I don't think it's a mistake, I just don't think the mobile app has added that feature yet.
[Google Chromecast] mikemelbrooks:
As I understand it the chromecast doesnt render the video but connects to youtube and plays a specially renderd version for the chrome cast, I guess this is not available live. When you cast from a pc the pc renders the video for you.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
YouTube added this support on the Website just recently.....

[Google Chromecast] bozzykid:
Looks like the next Android and iOS will remove the live limitation to casting. They may be beta testing it by only offering it on the website for the moment.

Before I begin, I'm not certain if I'm in the wrong forum but I'll know eventually..

Is it possible, (if so, how) to use a GSM phone for a CDMA service, Sprint to be exact.

all in all, can i use my tmobile galaxy s2 (unlocked) for my new sprint service?

if so, how can i go about doing that?!?!?!?!
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
Is your model T989 ?
[General Questions and Answers] natalie_storm:
yes... is that ok?
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
These are the supported frequencies:

2G Network	GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

3G Network	HSDPA 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100

Check out here for compatible carrier --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_frequencies
[General Questions and Answers] natalie_storm:
Soooooooo... I can? I'm not understanding.
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
Check out what frequencies the wanted carrier uses in your region :)

Google helps...
[General Questions and Answers] natalie_storm:
i googled around a bit and found that Sprint uses the 1900 MHz band for both voice and data service.
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
Sprint USA uses MHz

800/1900 for 2g

1900 for 3g

2500 for 4g

Infact you will not be able to make calls if your region uses 800MHz for calls.

I've searched and searched can anyone tell me anyway to disable or remap the I.E and Outlook buttons on the keyboard?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] BUMP THAT:
I beleive you cant. I was told this becasue the key codes are ROMed or hard coded. :( I too wanted to remap them.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] 6680abhi:
I only know of a way to remap the IE button - not the outlook one. It is a workaround really; set the piehomepage in the registry as the app you want it to start eg. \Program Files\......

Now when you press the IE button, IE is still opened however and left running in the background, but the app you set is also opened.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbairduk:
This morning my battery was dead and the phone was off.

When I used the supplied charging cable plugged into the wall, it shows the battery with the circle to show its plugged in, then goes to the battery with the green bar and switches off. It vibrates and then shows the battery with the circle and and then the charging battery, and does the same again.

When I turned the phone on it shows no charger is connected. I think it did show the power bolt in the battery after a while, but charged very slowly.

I get exactly the same with 2 different micro usb cables. Even when its stuck in this charging loop it is charging slowly as when I turn the phone back on the battery is showing a bit of green and not just ! in the battery,

I read on another forum a few people with the same problem, but they seem to be getting fobbed of and the cable blamed. I am 100% sure its not the cable.

So that leaves the port or something else in the phone.. But if its getting a charge from the cable.. it doesn't sound likely.

My PC does not detect it as a device though.

Anyone else on here experienced this?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toastido:
If your computer doesn't even see it, and you're absolutely sure it's not the cable, then it's quite possible is the micro usb port, or the board itself. You can rule out the board by outfitting it with wireless charging past and charging plate. If it charges fine there its the port. If not its likely the board.

Alternatively, send it in for warranty repair or take it back where you got it.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gideonMorrison:
I am very close on pulling the trigger on a ZU, coming from a Note II. However, I am quite reluctant to take the plunge because there several serious issues plaguing the ZU, so it seems.

First off, I have heard many nightmare stories about spontaneous cracks that happen for no particular (self inflicted) reason and that it takes weeks to months after to get the phone back and sometimes needing to pay for it. This of course is atrocious service by Sony. I have read a statement from Sony, saying they repair single cracked displays. Anybody experience with this issue and is the ZU really that fragile? It's a big phone and needs to survive in a jeans pocket, logically.

Secondly how bad/ good are the black values in the dark on the ZU? In daylight they seem fine, but in the dark, in bed, watching a movie... Not sure.

Thanks guys.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
While I mostly watch comedies or TV shows on my phone and leave more serious watching for my ht room, I never felt bad about the black levels although it's not on par with my previous note phones. My gf is getting note 2 tomorrow so I can take some pics side by side showing the same dark movie scenes.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gideonMorrison:
Thanks for that, I appreciate it. It would probably be best to take them in a pitch black room, as it would be more accurate. No experience with sudden cracks, eh?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
I have only read about two or three guys around here that have cracked their screens, so it doesn't look like it's a widespread issue. It is a 6.4" sheet of thin glass though, so you should be careful with it no matter what. The screen is an LCD, so you won't get deep blacks in the dark, since LCDs have a backlight (LED). AMOLEDs don't have that, so that's why you get those deep blacks. Even my old Galaxy Note had a grey-ish black when i used it in the dark, since light from the neighbouring pixels would illuminate the area around.

The blacks looks good in normal light, but it won't look that black in a dark room. That's just how the technology works.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gideonMorrison:
Thanks for your thorough reply :good: Regarding the sudden cracks, people blame the design for it, that the power button placement is the culprit. I.e. the enclosure not being strong enough and it's a design fault. Where I'm from, Holland, there was a tv show that shined a light on the many Xperia screens that cracked, particularly the Z. Hundreds of people had this issue and basically Sony left them out in the cold for weeks to months, saying there wasn't such a problem. We all know they released a statement where they state otherwise and single cracks will (no impact) be repaired under warranty. I am not eager to grab the ZU from my pocket one day and welcomed by a 'sudden crack'. This of course is a risk and a risk any adopter takes.

Regarding the black values, how is the quality of HD content in the dark, I mean are the blacks 'good enough'?

:good:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
You'll just have to take the chance at this point, but it shouldn't be an issue at all. If it was, you'd be seeing a lot more people complaining around here. Regarding the HD quality in the dark, i don't think you'll have any complaints. The colors and the screen is overall fantastic, but it may take a few watches to get used to the more natural colors if you're used to AMOLED, which in most cases makes everything look fake.
