[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 996:
Hello all. I was just wondering if I could get any input or suggestions on my first repair for this phone. I know there is going to be a of adhesive and the screen is actually going to be attached to the LCD.

Any do's or don'ts?

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DiSiD:
If you are going the route of replacing the glass on top and not the digitizer, make sure you use a real heat gun (not a blow dryer) to heat up the adhesive and TAKE YOUR TIME. I tried to fix my daughter's screen. She had wrapped the ear buds around it and put it in her back pocket. There was like a bullet hole in the center and cracked all the way around outward from the center. I got all the way to the end, tried to remove the corner piece and I cracked the digitizer. I was tired and anxious to finish. Plenty of people are successful, so I would just say make sure you hear the glue up enough and take your time.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] HTCCT:
Hey guys,

Is the date already published for the release of the find 7 (premium version) ?

I mean the 7a is already available so it should not take so much more time.

Any news or website which is up to date and can inform me directly in the case of release :)

Thx
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] DaveHTC200:
I think I read late April, but I can't remember where I saw it!
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] HTCCT:
Ok. Thanks.

But isn't it a little bit strange that there are no information about a release ?!

I mean if you are right and it will be released at the end of this month there should be anything official or not ?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] J_Dutch:
They keep it secret because they want to sell some 7a's first I guess. If you ask me I don't even know why they made a Find 7a in the first place.

[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Entropy512:
I think the QHD screen still needs some tuning/calibration work from various rumors I've heard.

The 7 doesn't have enough extra CPU power/battery to drive the extra resolution without performance/battery life compromises anyway, so it's going to be for the "spec epeeners" - the 7a will be a superior day-to-day device.

The 7's screen will require almost 2x the memory bandwidth and GPU power to drive its display compared to the 7a.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] kishd:
[MENTION=591147]Entropy512[/MENTION] Thanks now I am convinced that I made the right decision to order the 7a and not wait for the 7.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] nap007:
while what you said is true, I'm still having some difficulties accepting that since even the weakest integrated graphics from 2010 desktop PC can manage to handle daily PC operation even with UHD displays, I don't play heavy games on my phone, so is it absolutely true that the 801 will struggle with QHD display even just for average phone usage???

battery life is another matter though, true.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] krabman:
It's twice the pixels but not power since each one uses significantly less. Still it's going to be more, xactly how much more power won't be known into they can be compared. The screen isn't the only thing pulling more power, the extra ram will be a user as well. I would be looking to the a for sure if I was a 3d gamer but I'm not. I'm taking a wait and see approach.

While the extra resolution may be worthless to some it is not useless. It allows you to blow up the screen more. When you whipper snappers get older you will appreciate that more than you do now. :)
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] HTCCT:
I thought so too. Thats the reason why I have pre-ordered a find 7a today :)

And like it seems many guys in different popular forum are doing it like this.

I mean the 3gb of RAM would be nice, but like everyone say it is not needed. Also the 32gb internal storage, because you have a sd-slot.

A further thing is that the bigger battery also fits in the 7a (epic) :D

And if the 7 is published I am going to buy the backside, which hides the battery, because I like the carbon or carbon-style of it :)

The only thing which is worth to think twice is for me the fact that my HTC One M7 has a PPI of 461 and the 7a has a lower ppi (401) with the same resolution :/

Any opinions/ recommendation ?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] nelonez:
Quick question... for those of you that preordered...did u get charged right away or will u be charged when it ships??? I'm ready to pre order this but wanting to know if I'll be charged now or later...
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] HTCCT:
What do u exactly mean with "charged" ?

That you have to pay tax or that the money will transfered of your bank account ?

I have payed with paypal and I received a message that its transfered immediatly

But I am not worrieing....its Paypal so I am able to get my money back :)
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] nelonez:
I guess u just answered my question... I meant as in the money being taken out of my account.... I'll be paying through PayPal as well so at least I know it's gonna be withdrawn immediately.... thanks for the input...
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] jodvova:
Do you know when it will be shipping ?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] HTCCT:
I heard something of end of April or beginning of may :)
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Rudolpht:
Life is always trade-offs. I was used to carry an extra higher capacity battery for the Note 3. On my current HTC One (M8), it is hard to believe how much better it manages battery, even not using the stock power saving settings. (not missing that extra battery when on travel.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] krabman:
As to the shipping date Oppo responded to an email stating that it would likely be at least early June before product shipped. Since the screen supplier just now has started production of the screens we know those are not in hand yet implying April is certainly out. Oppo has their own forum where there is a little more information available than here for the moment, some of you might be interested in taking a gander. http://www.oppoforums.com/forums/find-7-product-discussion.111/

Is there tax? I live in Canada so I am wondering how does the tax work for that product.

Do you think there will be import charges?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] HTCCT:
I preordered by oppo style europe. They are in the UK so in this case I Do not have to Pay tax. But if you are ordering directly from China you have to Pay.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] jodvova:
You pay tax if you order in the EU. It's just included in the price already.

---------- Post added at 11:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:59 AM ----------

If you order from outside of Canada, you're going to pay canadian import tax.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] HTCCT:
I am sorry, but you dont have to pay any tax inside the EU. It is free trading, except tabaco, alcohol etc. The tax I have to pay is in the price included, but not for me. It is included because oppo style UK had to pay tax for the shipping.

And of course you have to pay tax from china to Canada, but like you said it is the canadian tax you have to pay. :)

Greets
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] jodvova:
What I meant is, the price that you paid when ordered the phone already has VAT tax included. Obviously, you don't pay any extra tax when buying from Germany in the UK.

If you bought exactly the same from in China, it would be cheaper, because it wouldn't have VAT tax.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] HTCCT:
Ok :D than we have the same opinion

great ;)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otto888:
I just got my M8 and its unable to see any 5Ghz network, even when set to scan for 5Ghz only. 2.4Ghz networks are seen and connect fine. Just wondering if anyone else has this issue,and if they found a fix that doesn't involve sending the phone to HTC.

Edit: My router was being stupid. Only 5Ghz AP in the area, didn't think to check other devices if they were connected to the 5Ghz AP or the 2.4Ghz one.

Hi,

I was going to update the rom on my HTC One and add the most recent luna kernel but when i download it i didn't look at where the thread was coming from and i think i downloaded to another device. Now, im still able to flash any rom but the SIM Card isn't detected. I've tried a nadroid backup but when i flash the rom i had i get the same issue, no SIM card.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] avwheeler:
Try flashing latest radio and maybe firmware, this will generally fix. Worst case you would need to backup and ruu.

Sent from my HTC One on some Awesome Rom..
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Terramoto:
Hey,

I was able to S-ON my device but now i don't know what to do. My HBoot is 1.44 could someone point me in the right direction? Im currently downloading RUU 3.04.651.2 which is the one i get from getvar version-main.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Devilish_Angel:
... buddy why did you go for s-on is out of my understanding. people yearn to get s-off and you did the opposite. its ok. you can s-off later. Now relock your bootloader and run RUU. your phone will be up and running. then again go for s-off after unlocking bootloader and flashing custom recovery and root ;) ...
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Terramoto:
Its all good now :D, I did S-Off because i read on flashing RUU tutorials that i needed to be S-Off before i run RUU
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Devilish_Angel:
.. you got it all wrong. its not necessary to be s-on to run RUU. RUU will do good on both s-on and s-off. its the bootloader which matters and that too when s-on. In simple words, if device is s-on you HAVE to relock bootloader to RUU and if device is s-off, no need to bother about bootloader status ;) ...
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Terramoto:
Yeah! I just learned something today, thanks!!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Sevinex:
I would like to exchange my current HTC One M8 for another M8 through Verizon (because I have been noticing that the glass is not entirely flush), however I am weary of doing so with CWM Recovery still on the device. I understand how to remove permanent root (SuperSU settings allow for this), though since this is my first HTC device, I am not entirely sure how to proceed from here (get the stock recovery back). Can I just flash the recovery.img from this thread through ADB, or will this brick my device? Thanks in advance for your help.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] whskytango:
Quick question, what glass are you talking about that is not flush?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] JWhetstone02:
he is probably talking about the entire screen. the time i read that. i remember feeling mine.

the part where the screen touches the metal towards the speakers, mine is lower on the right side than the left (gun metal grey m8)

its not a big deal for me, but im pretty sure this is what he is talking about
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Sevinex:
Yep, [MENTION=3764522]JWhetstone02[/MENTION] is correct. The glass sections directly above the top and bottom front facing speakers of my device are raised in comparison to the glass covering my LCD. It wasn't enough to originally notice when I first opened and began using the device, but now that my screen protector has finally finished adhering, it is definitely noticeable (the raised portions are lifting the screen protector off of the glass). It wouldn't have been that big of a deal if both sections were equally raised, however they are not; the top right portion is higher then the top left portion, and the bottom left portion is flush while the bottom right portion is raised.

Despite all this, I still stand by the fact that the HTC One M8 is THE BEST constructed device I have ever had the pleasure of using.

EDIT: I actually considered sending in the device under the HTC Advantage Free Glass Replacement clause, however I don't want to take the risk that when I receive my device is may be no better off then when I sent it in. At least at the store I can confirm that the glass portions are all flush.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] whskytango:
Mine is the same way too. Even the one on display was like that I'm just saying returning it I don't know if the new one will be any better, let us know
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] JWhetstone02:
my brother has the silver m8. got his 2 days ago (so it shouldnt be from the same batch as the launch devices) and his is the same way. :eek:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Sevinex:
Ahhhh crap. Well, I plan on going in today around 5:30 pm PST, so I will keep you all posted. Do you guys have screen protectors that don't show this separation as much? I currently have a Skinomi Techskin on mine (pictures below), and while the separation does not cause any display issues, my OCD is really kicking in...

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dr_drache:
FYI, that shows up on every single one I've seen, if you use the screen protector that goes over the speaker grills.

use a regular screen only, you'll never notice.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Sevinex:
I tried to circumvent the launch devices by ordering mine after the a couple days after the official launch, because of all the issues I heard the original HTC One had, but apparently I either didn't wait long enough, or the even more unfortunate scenario that the majority of M8's are like this.

Worse comes to worse, I would rather have the separation and my entire screen covered... With such a nice looking device, I would hate myself if I scratched some portion of it. When I purchased the device, there were no screen protectors or cases at any of the Verizon stores near me, so I left my device unopened until the Skinomi Techskin and cheap TPU case I ordered arrived from Amazon. Further, after dropping and cracking my previous Galaxy S3, I am not taking any chances with this phone.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Sevinex:
Ignore...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] -4ndr01d-:
damn now mine has this. ugh my ocd got me now. never noticed...thanks lol
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] pmazz850:
With the latest Gorilla glass i don't think screen protectors are even needed. Up until my last phone, samsung note 2, I always used a screen protector. Didn't use one on my note and never got a scratch on it. Granted i'm somewhat anal about my phone but never had an issue. Now on my

m8 i don't have one. I don't think its needed.....If it keeps lifting due to screen then ditch it.

Have you seen this ??

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVNI9Kflqw4
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Sevinex:
Part of me just died... I have always had screen protectors, it is more of a habit then anything. I still like the peace of mind that in the event I am attacked by a flurry of knives and keys that at least my screen will be okay...

And I hate to be a bore, but again, any input on adb flashing this recovery.img to revert my recovery to stock?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] pmazz850:
I fully understand. Sometimes you just gotta let go!:fingers-crossed:

Ahh, sorry man, didn't mean to ruin it for you!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mchief298:
The Note 3, S4 and the M7 all had gorilla glass and all got scratched... Will never not put some sort of protection on my screen again.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xs11e:
Fix for uneven glass.

Otterbox Defender.

http://www.otterbox.com/Defender-Se...default,pd.html?start=1&cgid=htc-one-m8-cases

The good:

The clear plastic sheet covers the entire glass eliminating the problems OP mentioned.

It protects the phone probably better than any other case.

The kickstand feature allows me to use it as my bedside alarm clock.

The bad:

It's costly.

It makes a very big phone MUCH bigger!

It's slow to get on and off.

The ugly:

Otterbox Defender is an UGLY case IMHO.

I wouldn't be without it! It took a day or two to get used to it but I really like it now.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Sevinex:
Thank you, but I can not use an Otterbox case... It defeats the purpose of buying a nice looking phone if I immediately cover it up.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xs11e:
But you'll need a case of some kind for protection, won't you?

I don't know of any case that's as nice looking as the phone, I'd like to not use a case myself but my previous phone had a small problem (I could salvage the SIM and the SD card, the screen, digitizer, motherboard, etc. were completely destroyed so.... I know the case is ugly but I'm sticking with it!

As always, YMMV.

Cheers all,

I'm in the process of documenting some android file system stuff, and I noticed that Android, CWM, and TWRP are somewhat inconsistent when it comes to the paths of user-storage.

Comparing their mount stats leads me to believe that

1) the storage destination is a device-block mapped to a path-name, which occurs during boot.

2) the path-name is defined by the author of the firmware?

^^ are these assumptions anywhere near correct?

for some reason I have 32mb of storage memory used which is rather confusing as I only have a couple of excel spreadsheets on my XDA and everything else is on the storage card. Is there any way of working out what is taking up the memory and that which I can do without?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] meschle:
Hi, did you install Net 2.0 - this will take up a couple of mb's. Also another big memory eater is Internet explorer - go into tools\options\memory and empty the cache. Check to see if you have many pictures\videos stored in \my documents on your device.

Use the attached program which is very good at showing where your used memory is. If you set options to kb its easier to calculate the memory.

Well,this query is slightly old because later I did a stock restore through Odin ..

But still ,

I wanted to restore my nandroid backup .. I was in CWM and selected to restore my last nandroid backup ,, It completed with an error which I don't remember now ..

When I selected REBOOT SYSTEM NOW , it just simply turned off and turned on with usual SAMSUNG logo,and stuck there for a couple of minutes ,, At first I thought it was due to first time restore ,but after waiting for more than 10 minutes,it was still on SAMSUNG logo

I removed the battery and inserted it back,,but still the same thing ....

I don't know what went wrong

So the query is : Do I have to clear anything like dalvik cache etc before doing a restore like I did before flashing a new ROM ???

It's my first post on this site,and would be glad if got a complete answer,,bcz I want to flash some roms again and don't want to resort to Odin to go back to stock as I want everything to be as it was before flashing.

Thanks...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] g-noob:
might I ask what ROM you are using now ? in my experience, I think if you want to keep everything the same as it was (setup, password..ect) before flashing a new ROM then don't flash any new ROM because it might cause force close and such ...

a google account will help you remember the app you have previously

Helium will help you backing up data from the app

Apex launcher has the option of backup your previous settings

Try taking the battery out for a few to do a full shut down hold the power button after battery is out to drain residual energy in chip set.

Make sure you leave the sd card out during first boot after odining back to official and doing the factory restore.
