[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haenraets:
I was talking to a guy in an electrostore yesterday about rooting phones and warranty.

He said the representative from Samsung Benelux (Belgium etc) said they will still fix phones that are rooted. They all know people do this.

But they will return them to stock when they send it back. Samsung decided this last week.

He didn't know about other company's but he thought they'll do the same.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PcFish:
The HTC Texas repair center refused to repair my M7 with S-Off. Wanted to charge me $180 to fix the purple camera. After arguing and elevating nothing happened, they sent it back, I re-locked/went completely back to stock and tried again. They sent it back no problem.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l7777:
I think you're on the right track. Auto manufacturers can't void the warranty simply because of a modification, they have to prove that the modification caused the failure. For example, if someone changed the engine tuning to allow a 10,000 RPM redline and destroyed the engine the manufacturer would easily be able to say that the modified software caused the failure. Similarly a phone manufacturer could void the warranty on the cpu/mb/battery/etc... if they can prove that the different software caused the problem. They couldn't void the warranty on the camera, usb port, digitizer, headphone jack, speaker, etc... because you decided to go S-Off, root, and run custom software as the software couldn't have damaged those components. As with all things legal though, it would likely cost less to jump through hoops or just buy a new device than to get them to accept your warranty claim if they choose to be difficult about a claim.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewnelson:
yes there are many ways to S-off.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dinsdaleson:
People think that unlocking phone in unauthorized way (S-Off) will be better for warranty rather than using htcdev, how is that?

Impossible, only if You unlock your bootloader then warranty may be void.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenPope:
With s-off you can go from unlocked back to locked (vs relocked). I.e., you can fully revert the unlock and thus hide that it was ever unlocked.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HtcOneJon:
I'm sorry but as I do with all these misconceptions I have to chime in here. Rooting, S-offing and installing custom roms cannot void a warranty as the warranty on an electrical item covers the hardware for faults, when not caused by human error.

If I install a custom ROM on a phone, and then the screen stops working, which has happened to me countless times in the past, I will simply send it to HTC and they repair it.

HTC, Carphonewarehouse, Orange, and Phones4u in the UK have never refused me a repair on a phone or indeed a replacement due to s-off or a custom ROM,

I traded in my old M7 with Venom rom on, S-off in phones4u, to get my M8 and they didn't even flinch at that either.

I am not saying anything beyond, most people asking this will s-off anyway, and if you really are scared of losing your warranty, you'll also find a way of getting it back to s-on and locked too.

Czech service center's attitude: Due to UNLOCKED bootloader, warranty is void for motherboard. They treat the custom ROM as a SW damage. Although they've replaced the display (faulty pixels) under warranty.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] idtheftvictim:
You can use Kies to flash, or download the .tar file and flash via Odin...that way you don't lose your app data.

Once you flash the new update via Odin, just re-root using CF-Auto-Root

Ah. Thanks!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] TheArtiszan:
If you have G900TUVU1ANCH that is the newest available version.

I don't think everyone got this update from G900TUVU1ANCD right away.

Probably just a delayed update to that.

That one should be available through samfirmware.com

[Huawei Ascend P1] cheppiroma:
Hi, i am using my Huawei Ascend P1 for about a half year. The major problem of since the first time i use this device is the battery performance, i could charge it twice or three times a day. A couple days ago i heard people talk in XDA about Greenify that can hibernate some apps so can save P1 battery life. Is it true the P1 battery can save by this tiny size apps Greenify? How does it really works? Oh, by the way im using Emotions UI 1.6 B708. Sorry if my english not so good.. Thanks before

Regards,

Roma A.
[Huawei Ascend P1] eatsleep:
Greenify hibernates the apps which you select when you are not using them. It is handy and saves battery....

Are you rooted? because it the auto-hibernation system only works when you are rooted, otherwise, you will have to click on a button named Hibernate to complete this task
[Huawei Ascend P1] cheppiroma:
Hi [MENTION=5329992]eatsleep[/MENTION] , yes my device is rooted. i already use it now, and i found it very usefull. i almost hibernate apps that no need to run in background. just leave my mail, and social media apps running. And gues, my Ascend P1 was fully charged in 02:00 AM, now in 5:25 PM the battery still at 80%..whereas i use it a lot to open path, facebook, bbm, & HD games. love it very mucho.. Thanks to you too eatsleep ;)

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Grumpycat62:
Hello, I recently flashed my HTC One M8 on VZW, but to my dismay the phone now has no service, mobile data, or Wifi. On the device the option to enable Wifi is grayed out, and the mobile service says "Disconnected". Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: I managed to return the device to the Verizon store, that was lucky, I tried all of your suggestions and none seemed to work and that was my only option. Thank you
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Evocm7:
What option did you select on the carrier screen in aroma? Should have been default for Verizon. Did you check md5 before flash? Which recovery are you using?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Grumpycat62:
I'm using TWRP 2.7.0.2, I have the option set to default and it still occurs even with the same MD5, I'm now left with quite the expnsive brick, thanks for the help.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] droidkevlar:
Its not a brick. You can still flash other ROMs. Flash Skyfall (I personally use this ROM and it works flawless and very close to stock) and see if everything works for you. Also make sure you do factory reset before flashing it. Do not flash any kernels or anything after flashing the ROM.

If everything works, it means something went wrong with your Viper install. I would recommend redownloading it and then trying again after you have tried the above.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wtoj34:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MlucianoEze:
Hi. I love having KitKat because is the most recent version of Android, but I also like classic Donut/Cupcake appearance, like launcher, statusbar, color scheme, etc.

Is this possible?

Oh! Before I forget, I want Froyo lockscreen too.

Thanks in advanced.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheGeekyNimrod:
Wow, you take it REALLY old school. Best answer I could give you (and I'm not a genius by far) is to see if any of the launcher apps (Nova, Apex, etc) have a Donut/Cupcake icon pack, and use Xposed to create the rest of the look (Xblast will do most of what you are looking for including status bar, changing some of the system colors, etc). Not sure if XLockY will do Froyo lockscreen, but I haven't played with that module too much.

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Shift4g:
I've noticed over the past couple of days with my M8 that the notification light doesn't activate for anything but charging. I see that many people with Verizon versions are complaining of the same issue. Is anyone else experiencing this on their's? I already know that the only thing Tmo will tell me to try is a factory reset, or have the phone replaced (both a hassle this far into ownership).
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] BlueCrystal:
You may just want to RMA it so you have a new phone instead of finding something later down the line thats major. T-Mo will usually send you your replacement first and you mail your messed up one back. You could also just take it back to the store and do an exchange (I think) since it's within the 14 day period.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] johnomaz:
I've noticed it too. I get the amber light when charging and green when done, but thats it. I feel its more of a software bug than anything to do with the hardware.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] SeanFloyd:
Have you checked the "Notification Lights" setting under Display? It lets you choose which actions will activate the light.

That said, I have noticed the light is pretty minimal when compared to the SGS series notification lights. Additionally, I do not see a stock option to change the color of the light but no doubt that will come in time with Cyanogen Mod.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] johnomaz:
Booted into safe mode, tested the LEDs, they work fine. IMO, its definitely a software issue. Also, not sure if this is for everyone but booting into safemode also hoses your home screens. Now I have to redo all my folders.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Shift4g:
I did check and play with that, yes. I even downloaded Lightflow with no success. I'm going to lean toward it being a software issue. Hopefully a patch gets compiled at some point.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] johnomaz:
small update. I was really wanted the stupid notification led to work. I didn't realize how much I looked at it when I'm at work. So I decided to wipe and start over. I made a nandroid backup just in case nothing worked and wiped. I read around the internet that if you don't log into your google account after the wipe, let it do its stuff that it would work so I did. Before I logged into my google account my wife texted me and bam, it worked. Ok, so far so good. I logged in and it still worked. Well, I don't want to go and redownload all my apps so I went into the custom recovery (Yes, I'm rooted and am using the rom in the development section that is rooted, deodexed and a few more things, but the rest is stock) and restored just the data partition. All my apps came back and the LED stopped. WTF is up with that!? I looked at all my apps and nothing was there that would affect the LED. I decided to use Titanium Backup and got all my apps backed up, wiped again, didn't log in to my google account until after the phone fully booted. Logged in, restored my apps via titanium backup and boom, the led was working and is still working. I also use an app called Helium to keep a few apps backed up to my Google Drive and happened to have my homescreen settings backed up (folders, background, etc) and restored that. All my folders came back and the LED still worked. I now have a working notification LED!

Another small thing too. I noticed that when I let my phone boot up before logging into my account, the experience was a little different. Certain things loaded on the phone that didn't load before. My only thought on that is that I had two Samsung phones before this one that maybe something downloaded from my google account, some setting it kept backed up for me, that broke the LED. If you don't log into the account until after you let it fully boot, there is no option to restore your settings from google. It all starts new.

the backup utility I use is called Helium. You CAN use it without root. YOu have to plug into your computer after each reboot but then it will work without being connected. It'll backup the apps data and restore it after you redownload it from the appstore and can also backup both the app and data. It'll backup the homescreens settings like folders. No, I'm not plugging it but its a huge time saver.

Anywho, I now have a working LED for notifications and that is the process i used. Its annoying but I'm glad it works now. Being able to backup and restore my apps is the only reason I did it. That process can be very long and annoying so being able to restore them all in 3 minutes is the only reason why I did the process.

Hope this helps someone and helps to realize its a software bug and not a physical bug.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] SeanFloyd:
My LED is working for notifications I just can't alter the color which is a bummer.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] TriBeard:
There was an issue like this with the m7, or at least the sprint version. It was after the first update they pushed, 4.3 maybe, though I'm not sure. If you installed the update you were fine, but if you installed it and then had to do a factory reset, if you signed in on the first boot up, the light wouldn't work. You had to let it boot to the sign in screen, restart, then sign in in order to get it to work right. It was really odd.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] E30Nova:
So I just got my phone. Do I have to wipe it and start over to get the damn notification light to work?? Kinda irritated...
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] johnomaz:
If its not working, yes. Annoying as hell but I am glad I took the time to do what my above post says. I guess I never realized how much I looked at the light.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] E30Nova:
Man, it was working for a bit, but only for gmail apparently.

I wonder, do the people that convert to the GPE RUU or flash a GPE rom have the same problem?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] aimfire72:
Yeah, the LED is definitely won't, but I also think it's a software thing. As long as it lights up when charging, the hardware is working, so... Sense bug. They also don't give you many options in the Settings as someone pointed out. I notice the issue more when using 3rd party apps, the stock Sense apps seem to be mostly working fine.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] ggeralds:
Remember - if you in any way shape or form are using any part of "do not disturb" - while it's enabled, there are no LED's as well and sounds and vibrations.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] h3ck:
Yeah mine only works for charging. I tried restoring fresh (not rooted so didn't do titanium with old settings), however I did restore from HTC Backup. Mostly did it for my text messages. I may decide to restore one more time just to see if it works, but really this is software related. HTC should patch it up.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] stevessvt:
If anyone is still having this problem, theres an app in the play store that fixes this. Install it, run it once and uninstall. My notification light works perfectly now.

[Asus Transformer TF700] pr0wnage:
I have three issues on my TF700 that I haven't been able to fix:

plugging in by USB does not cause a device to come up on my computer

tilting the tablet no longer causes rotation (games that require rotation also don't work)

using the camera in an app causes the app to crash

So far I've tried a factory reset, and using multiple different roms -- no amount of googling has helped me. USB does not work even in recovery mode (so no ADB/Fast Boot). Do any of you have any suggestions on troubleshooting?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
1. Is probably a driver issue

2. Have you locked the rotation by mistake? Check quick settings icon.

3. Which apps?

Hey thanks for your reply!

1. USB used to work on the same computer, now it doesn't even notice that anything is plugged in (I've tried a few different ports). I'll try removing the old driver and see if that works.

2. Screen rotation is set to auto rotate in quick settings, no dice.

3. Camera, Hangouts, Skype, pretty much anything I tried the camera with.

Is there a terminal command I can run to get error messages for my hardware? I tried logcat but it didn't seem to return anything relevant.
