[Sprint HTC One (M8)] howie411:
I would just like a consensus of how many folks have Sprint HTC M8 where the speaker grill holes don't line up on the top and bottom speakers (on the right side) I called HTC and they said this was normal. While it may be nit picking, I don't expect this on such a high end phone.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] smooth703:
the top is shorter because of the camera. the camera lines up with the rest of the grill on the bottom
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Adebayo88:
This is normal for many phones. Both the Nexus 5 and the iPhone 5s have a consistent misaligned speakers throughout the line of their products

But yes, both of the speakers are offset to the left on my HTC One m8 as well
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Rydah:
The actual speakers aren't all across on the bottom or top, they're both on the left side.

Sent From My HTC One (M8)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] bimmerbot:
I have a different issue with the speaker grilles. I returned my first M8 because the metal(?) plate on the bottom was raised on the right side where it meets the screen, instead of being flush like it's supposed to be. The new unit I got is perfect at the bottom, but now the upper grille is very slightly raised where it meets the screen on the right side (to the right of the camera). I can push it down, but it comes back up after a few minutes (like there's some kind of adhesive that doesn't hold it down properly)... Minor, but very irritating! :P Anyone else have problems with the speaker cover plates not being flush with the screen?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] metalfan78:
The bottom right grill is slightly raised on mine
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] smooth703:
slightly raised on top and bottom on mine
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] elijahblake:
Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I recently bought a used m8 ATT off someone and converted it to the GPE. And now I've noticed that this phone has the metal on the top raising above the screen (right side around the camera). I can push it down but it comes back up after a while.

I contacted HTC and they said that the phone is under warranty but I would have to send it in for diagnostic to see if it qualifies for a warranty repair or they would quote me how much it would be to fix.

I unlocked the bootloader on HTC's website which I'm pretty sure voided the warranty and they will be able to tell no matter what I do. So does anyone know how to fix this annoying issue? DIY style that is
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] bimmerbot:
Yes, I fixed mine by just lifting up the grille (it's actually plastic and just held on by adhesive) and applying some new adhesive to the back of the grille. I wouldn't use super-glue, but something a little thicker/gooier to fill the gap. Maybe a dab of silicone (I used something silly... "liquid skin" from the first aid cabinet. It worked, but I wouldn't recommend it because it slightly discolored the coating on the back of the grille!). Good luck!

You can also find replacement grilles online that will have fresh adhesive, but you have to do some searching and I think they come from China, so you'd have to wait a while for shipping.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] elijahblake:
Was yours only raising up on the right corner? If so was it hard taking the whole cover off without messing it up?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] bimmerbot:
Yes, it was only raising on the right corner. I didn't try to remove it completely, as I just wanted that side to stay down. Just use something to apply adhesive carefully to the back of the grille (it's flexible plastic), then stick it back down (and apply pressure until it dries).
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] saadahmeddar:
I've tried almost every single ICS/JB rom based on AOKP, AOSP or Sense for HTC Pico yet some are stable and some are not but 1 only thing irritates me very much that Whatsapp doesn't work well I mean when I try to send a voice note through it it never gets upload!

Why the hell this problem occours?

Any fix for this?

And this is the 2nd biggest reason I wont upgrade from JaggyRom 4.1 to anyother :p

The first reason is the memory script sh..t
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] shubhojit89:
I m using cm 10.2 since 1 mnth haven't faced such kinda problem so far everything is working fine over here.. I know you might have did all this still giving opinions.. First check whether your data is fast enough then check whether the sound recorder is working in your phone or not .. Another way if the above things not helping.. Clear data, uninstall whatsapp.. Again install and see if it works..

via iPhone 4s
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] saadahmeddar:
okay I'll do it the above as you say and will update you asap!

can you share the link of the ROM that you're using and does it supports mounts2sd etc scripts?

I m using this one: CM 10.2 weekly 9

I had to pay the 750 best buy price. Can anyone else confirm this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] djkinetic:
Why did u pay that much for a locked down carrier device good lord.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MattMJB0188:
There is nothing wrong with that. I did. There aren't really many options, are there? If I bought the international variant then I'd get no LTE.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Bsmith0731:
I wanted the phone but wasn't eligible for an upgrade
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] hovax615@hotmail.com:
I'm thinking about getting the s5 also because I've been missing my s4. Does anyone think the at&t Next program is good? And is anyone else on the Next upgrade plan?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] co.ag.2005:
I did mine on the next plan... all it is is a monthly payment plan to pay the full retail price of the phone, $650... so it's $32.50/month for the plan that lets you upgrade every year ($32.50/month x 18 months = $650). when you want to upgrade in a year (or 18 months and the phone would be paid in full), you either trade the phone in for the next one or just pay off the remaining balance ($260) and then sell the old one online and get the new phone on the NEXT plan
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Bsmith0731:
I don't know much as the next program. I don't like it from what I've read
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] hovax615@hotmail.com:
What is your bill if you don't mind me asking. Mine is $79 plus the 32 would be like $113-114. I think I might wait till it gets a little older and the next price would be a little cheaper than I'll get one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] co.ag.2005:
well, I haven't received a bill yet that has the NEXT upgrade on it... so, my bill is $125 now, will be ~$158.00 with my SGS 5 on it.

$100 -> 10GB data bucket (shared between my wife and I)

$15 -> wife's line cost (for service)

$15 -> my line cost (for service)

$32.50 -> SGS 5

23% off national account discount

taxes

=$158 ish with the NEXT plan added

if you have a 10GB or higher mobile share plan, your lines are just $15/each if you are 1) financing a phone through NEXT; OR 2)pay for the phone upfront
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Xandlinger:
If you're on the newer Mobile Share plans (especially 10GB+) it will save you money over a new two year contract. You do see a little bit of a higher monthly bill, but you save quite a bit over time. Make sure to get AT&T Insurance or Squaretrade, though. And the 20 month Next is better than the 26 month Next.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] YoungAceAtlanta:
If your going to spend $600+ you better invest that into a international version that supports AT&T LTE bands. You won't benefit anything from the AT&T version far as root, roms, etc since our bootloader is "locked"

Also AT&T Next is great if your into staying up to date with the latest devices like most of us here. Like the users said above but with more detail you can choose to lease/finance the device for either 12 months or 18 months. You pay $0 deposit down and depending on the terms of the lease/finance you can either pay $22 or $32 a month.

Your plan and everything decides on how much data you need. i have the 20GB plan with 6 lines. my bill is around $200-$250 a month. 3 of those lines are on the Next program
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Bsmith0731:
That's new to me. Wasn't sure the international version could support ATT
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] co.ag.2005:
meh.. same difference for me.. I'll likely pay it in full in a few months anyways when the iPhone 6 comes out and get that too... in the end, I pay full price for the phone regardless.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] CZ Eddie:
The "Next" plan is a ripoff unless you're the type who is scared to sell a phone on Craigslist. An absolute ripoff.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] chillsen:
exactly what i have, i coupled my $25 phone payment plan (18 month instead of your 12 month) with the new 2GB data value plan
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] yoonus:
What if you get it on contract. Its $199 down payment and $320 as ETF.

Total $520.

Is there any catch? You can cancel the contract after 1 month, pay the ETF and keep the phone??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] karmuh:
Yup, that's the same thing I did. My contract would have ended this September, but my previous phone (iPhone 5) was one drop away from being completely broken. Because of that, I said screw it, bit the bullet and did the early upgrade to the 18 month Next plan with the 2GB mobile share plan. I would have much rather the traditional 2-year contract plan, but oh well...no way my phone would have survived another 6 or so months.

Yeah, the phone is yours if you choose to go down that path. Personally, I try my best to avoid the ETF, simply out of principle.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] karmuh:
You can keep the phone on the Next plan. You don't have to trade it in if you don't want to. The phone is still yours no matter what...you just have to pay it off either way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] djkinetic:
If i was gonna pay full retail I'd have gotten the Tmo S5 which apparently has an Unlocked BL, it is compatible with ATT LTE. Which is why I asked why the OP paid so much for the ATT version which is locked down as tight as fort knox...Still hoping a root exploit is found for ATT at the very least, if not not a big deal to me as its going to my GF who has no use for custom rom/kernels.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidex:
Hi everyone,

I found my non-rooted officially updated Ice Cream Sandwich Galaxy S2 phone turned off a few days ago. Upon switching on it won't go past the I9100 Samsung Galaxy S II screen, no matter how long I wait. I haven't flashed it before this moment with any custom ROMs or did actually make anything funny to it, including rooting.

Using Odin different versions I tried flashing it with official ROMs but it generally gets stuck either on NAND Write Start or at Set Partition/cache.img. Since only with the ROM with no pit, modem and CSC files I got no result, I was advised in another forum to flash with them so they can see what I reach. The suggested files were CODE_I9100XXLSJ for PDA, emmc_EXT4_16GB.pit for PIT, MODEM_I9100XXLS6 for Phone, and for CSC - CSC_HOME_OXX_I9100OXXLS1.

The second version which was a bit earlier was PDA CODE_I9100XXKG3_CL401405_REV02_user_low_ship.tar, u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4 PIT, MODEM_I9100XXKG3_REV_02_CL1040774.tar phone and GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKG3.tar.

I tried flashing with both using almost every Odin version, from 1.3, 1.83, 1.85, 3.04 to 3.09 with only being able to reach the stages of NAND Write Start and Set Partition. I can only access download mode and not recovery mode.

Since I have been trying to solve the problem for a few days now, I also removed the battery for more than 2 minutes before flash, moved through different USB ports, going with different Odin versions, turning my anti-virus program off (I don't have KIES installed) with no success after the above point. The only thing I can't do now is change the USB cable but it is a nice one and the drivers and Windows recognise it OK with the phone. Since a xda thread I found suggested that re-partitioning off helped many people in my phone state I tried that too without opportunity to go any further. I also removed my SIM card and external 64 GB memory card just to check if there would be any difference (and also knowing this is recommended for wiping out their content), no help.

Can anyone give me advice what I could do to get the phone back to life? Could the internal 16GB memory be dying? Can I use something like the shared here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1823918 to check on bad sectors?

This is my first time to go through such experiences so excuse me if I have missed something. I will get back with more details as required. Thanks for your comments!

Thanks jeevan000, currently flashing with 3.04 with reboot turned off and 4.1.2 JellyBean leak (I9100XXLSJ) from the suggested topic (thanks TheImpossibleEnemy). It failed but I will try once more, then will test an official ROM. Using primary USB port, installed KIES, killed its processes before starting, anti-virus turned off. Screenshot attached.

Tried with I9100XWLSS firmware too, downloaded by SamMobile, Fail again. I am frankly unsure what happens behind and how to troubleshoot it. All files to access are also properly unzipped and Odin itself is also unzipped. My only personal resort/hope is that so far I have used only one USB cable, tomorrow I will try with another or two.

Your problem is you're listening to a person who has no idea of what they're talking about, and ignoring the one who does. You need to go to the thread you were linked to by the person in this thread who does know what they're talking about. You need to try the stuff in that thread over and over and over and over until you get a successful flash. There's nothing else which isn't in that thread that can be suggested in these situations.

The alternative to persevering with the suggestions in the 'Bible' you were linked to (which that thread is in these situations) is giving up & paying a Samsung service centre a relatively large sum of money to fix your phone, or throwing it in the bin.

Right...You now have the different options, and you also have the tools you need to fix your phone. The rest is up to you.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidex:
Yes, I have not given up and will not whatsoever. I am going for a few more USB cables, will try to buy an original Samsung one since my original one was taken by someone at work by mistake and I lost it so using a Kindle one instead. I have hope since the phone is entering download mode every time. My only alternative concern is that the problem may be hardware one since the phone was even with android 2.3.4 that I purchased it with officially and once or twice it turned off by itself, which was fixed by long holding of the turn on button or removing the battery.

I will not contact a Samsung centre as I have friends left their phones in weird conditions and Samsung/the vendor representing it kept them for up to 1 month returning them with either the same problems or doing something superficial saying the phone was OK, or claiming it had nothing to do with them, or even that they need a replacement since the phone was dead. What is better than that?
